Nexon America's answer about Masteria

I remember you famed me with a character was called SolomonProse on one of the paths to Crimsonwood Keep while I was training. Glad to have seen you going around seeing how players were playing in the new areas.

OH! I have a good question. I'm not sure if you are aware that the japanese version redid the whole PQ, and made it their way, reusing everything...

BUT! There's a twist. They have a 5th Grandmaster, a pirate one. Was that planned and scrapped, or was there anything else about it? And by anything else, I mean, something that would be released later or something.

Well, here's the issue with that--I don't know if they are still building it. I would assume not, but even if elements tied into it, it would be a disservice to the team, and myself to simply spill the beans.

You deserve to be awed, which is exactly what the future plans were designed to do. I can answer the original intent of some stuff, but not much.

So what your saying is they ARE still building it? Just not the original plans? If I'm reading wrong please correct me.

Holy crap, you got me there.

Let me clarify--they were supposed to basically prepare you for the next area/wave of content. They were more along the lines of say, Cool As Ice, in terms of revelations.
Intent being that now that you knew what happened, each one would carry a certain amount of weight for you to go "ZOMG!" and do the next one, and leave you anticipating what was coming next.

Now it's time for this:



So, looks like these quests are more of a spoiler to come. In my opinion, I think Nexon won't release these quests until the next area of Masteria is complete/near completion.

"I don't know if they are still building it."

Then I must be reading something wrong when later he said something about development.
Wonder what Isaac is gonna say when he sees this?

Sup Prose, Strawberries from the Nexon Forums if you remember some of my questions.

What can you tell us about Cody's Theme Park? Was the idea just scrapped, or is it that in order to get it, we need to wait for another part of Masteria to be released? I'm not sure if it was an actual part of Masteria or not, I just happen to remember it was located in the same continent as the Masteria maps in the data, but I've been pretty curious about it.

Doesn't matter anyway, there's really nothing to talk about in terms of the company. For Maple, it would have to be a guaranteed thing that Masteria would never be updated again, in which case there's no harm in saying what was planned, because it has no chance of occurring. But it's not close to that point yet.

Sorry for sounding like a dumbass but what exactly is being said here?0.o Sounds like hes saying either:The original plan won't be used or, theres no guarantee that Masteria won't continue?Sorry I'm lost.

he's saying he can't talk about anything that was planned during his time at nexon because he will be sued. since maple is a continuously growing game there's no guaranteeing what will happen to old ideas. they may be used, they may not, but he can't talk about it.

No, he's saying that only when it is absolutely guaranteed that Masteria development has completely stopped then he can tell us what we would like to know regarding it, even if it's before the NDA expires because it wouldn't matter anymore anyways (because there would be no Masteria content).

I'd like to know, if at all possible, about the time constraints. How much time was the Masteria project given? If Nexon hired again or had its current workers continue production, we could get a nice idea of how much time would be needed

I mean I would think NEXON sets up the patches for the year by December as in I'm pretty sure they know whats going to happen in KMS for the year and anything not planned will just happen next year. This is why I think that January wll have the big bang patch since the year is probably planned out. But hey I could be wrong don't think I'm right. To answer your question with my guess I would say after the planning is done they have that set amount of time to make that said content;or maybe they just do it on a month to month basis..

That's actually a pretty good question. I hope he'll answer it.

Also, I have another question as well.

Did you help with the design of the areas / made concept art for them? What about the awesome background music? Did Nexon Korea did all that, or did you make them / give them suggestions for how they should've sounded like?

let's not ask many more questions after combattante. This looks like we're bombarding 'em with questions and it looks annoying

True that. Sorry, Prose.

I gave Cody some twigs basically 5 years ago and he promised to build a theme park.


Was Cody based on a real person?

He's probably just on his laborday break, probably won't hear anything till Tuesday so it would be best to keep this thread alive with questions, but ask no more but instead talk amongst ourselves.

he no longer works for nexon so a work-related holiday would have no effect on him posting. however, he came in order to do something else so... i wouldn't count on him coming back often, if ever.
