5th job to be released this year.

What if they made the advancement story or blockbuster related?

If "blockbuster" turns out to be anything like the failed rental company, this is gonna be the biggest bomb since the Hindenburg.

Instead of quest to get skill for 5 job, you do the storyline which your character get the skill

I expect Bishop --> Pope. Make it happen

Jokes aside, I'm pretty apathetic to the whole thing at this point. I don't know how much more power creep they can squeeze into this game with 5th job without raising the damage cap, but I'll wait to pass judgment.

Call me sentimental, but I miss the old 4th job skill quests. I remember the storyline for getting Resurrection was you had to literally conquer your fear of death to master that forbidden technique. Little touches like that felt more more genuine in terms of character progression than simply higher numbers.

some parts were great, the extra knowledge of how you gained the skill in-game was amazing as you said, really made you feel your class.
having to whup one of 4 rocks for your skillbook, with missing sending you like 5 screens before in the ant tunnel though, not so cool.

If they redeem the dark knight/shadower class, I may actually come back.

I really hope they change the base gameplay from spam to win, to something akin to actual combinations that involve iframes, I really miss those days.

@KhainiWest At least now shadowers in general will use more Meso explosion . Not to say the chance to stay in dark sight, but yeah in old times they had more skills to use at once, like booberang+save att or assassinate +booberang and it goes on(like the one in 3 job where you passed a mob, kind like the cutting skill that hayato have).

booberang

Call me skeptical but what can 5th job really contribute to the game?


You're already capable of committing mass hitboxes of damage on the screen at very minimal effort, bosses often have a bunch of artificially difficult mechanics that are unique to them which really can't be fixed by making more complex jobs, and 1-4th job lacks any sort of in-depth gameplay that suddenly shifting the gameplay to be seriously in-depth would just be kind of random.


If the 5th jobs are good and you can actually fight higher level bosses by utilizing very complex and interesting ways of dealing damage(and mitigating it).....what would you tell new players? ''Oh don't worry, you're going to be blasting the entire screen half the game till level 200 then the game REALLY starts to get interesting''.

When 4th jobs were released, it was a really big deal because of the smaller scope third jobs had at the time and they VERY creative ideas Nexon had at the time; everything about them was articulately developed...even down to the storylines and lore behind the classes, as annoying as many of the quests were(why would some of them require you to get a drop from Horntail?) they were very enriching to the lore. I mean having mages actually go through a quest to become aligned to their opposing element for their summon was really interesting and(in concept, which admittedly they failed at) brought an interesting playstyle concept.



But now? You get most skills that were once 4th job as early as second job, you get all your mobility skills at first job for most classes(and a passive speed boost), you can freely attack the entire screen at low effort, and aside from a very select few abilities that amplify damage or debuff the monsters or give you a damage increase when used in synergetic ways......the overall method for fighting bosses is to lazily spam your best DPS skill and avoid their ridiculously unbalanced 1shot kills and deal with restrictive potion cooldowns.



I don't feel 5th jobs are going to be interesting because the core gameplay mechanics of Maplestory are already pushed to their limits with hyper skills and 4th job....so they're either going to have to make 5th job a very minor improvement to characters, make the massive majority of skills passive skills and skills that just improve previous jobs skills and adding a slightly fancier animation....and that's about it. In Nexon's current state I really don't think they have the creative minds to just whip out more than 10 new and unique jobs with interesting mechanics and skills and actually have them translate well into the game in its current state, sorry for the negativity, hopefully I'm proven wrong but....meh.

Normal. I'm not sure if hard mode has been touched, on the basis that I can't read Korean. I'm pretty sure it's been beaten in Taiwan MS because of the 100m they have.

TMS now gets new records that Kaiser with 50mil dmg can solo Normal Lotus in 28 minutes
and Phantom with 50mil dmg soloed in 27 minutes
though still using other convenient item that helps a lot
but i'm just saying that with 50mil dmg , many jobs are "possible" to solo Normal lotus due to their high capped dps
I believed the way of adjusting cap of each job differently can help reduce the gap

have no idea what will happen if nexon really remove the cap limit

i, on the other hand, would break diamonds with my erection if 5th job Dark Knight was "Dragon Knight"

I expect Death Knight

I expect Bishop --> Pope. Make it happen

Archbishop

I really see 5 job beying lv140+ or 150+and hypers might be removed, they even removed the passive hyper stats, maybe hypers can get more power like having a lv10 in 5 job, what's the point having hypers if you get new and powerfull skill? Unless it apply for 5 job skills.

Not that imaginative, but well...

Archmage --> Archon.

Hadriel

i was going to make that joke.

When you finally get an erection after finding out you become... BATMAN

Bow Master -> Bow Ace.

marksman -> Bryan

So obvious

We don't name classes after TRAITORS

Is it too early to say that all is forgiven?

Marksman>Reroller

This reminds me of the days when we had to roll for starting stats... so much time wasted and I still gave up before reaching 4/4
