Upcoming Winter Update

How is half of maple not able to hit 100?
What is wrong with these people...

More like they don't bother?
Storage mules, event mules, etc. I have more under-100 chars than over-100, and not because I don't know how to get to 4th job.

Dumbing Maple down even further in order to make sure nobody quits before 100 because it's "too hard" seems ridiculous to me. But *shrug* if that's what they think will get them more players...

The helper of the new Hero is from the Anima race. Anima should ring a bell for those who've read the story line in Pantheon.
Also, it's not Yunnel. It's Eunwol in Korean and in English it means Silver Moon.

If you've seen the video, you've seen something about "cash item share". Many people requested that they want to share their cash items with other characters within the account. In this update, it'll possible to do that without any restrictions, but this will only be temporary.

Is it confirmed to only be temporary/limited time? If so, then what the actual pineapple.

I don't even know why I'm surprised they are trying to shoe horn in a 6th hero before even doing BW/NW.

Yet no one cares about the lonely Cygnus Instructor Mihile

Mihile is kind of proof that nexon releasing jobs without blinking... Instand of making revamp to DW they could release Mihile and close this corner with alll the instructors...

...? Are you doubting the director who oversees the development?

It makes sense they would streamline 1st-4th job further if they are preparing for 5th Job, and want people to be able to reach it.

So... maybe we're getting another Secret Story sometime sooooonnnn?????

Am I seeing that GMS might have knew this earlier, which is why they posted that survey? Some of the things people asked about just happens to be covered in this update.

It seems this update is missing REVAMPS.

Why cant they just make cash shop inventories shared for ALL characters forever? Is it so much to ask for Nexon? Im pretty they would earn more on new players, if they knew they would be able to use their pet on all characters.

I'm pretty sure by "secret story" they mean the fact that the pirate hero was erased from history and wasn't counted among the heroes we know of. hence it's a secret story.

How did you get that out of my comment? I asked a question, because I can't speak or read the Korean language. Sorry you misunderstood.

You questioned about something that was already confirmed. I saw the video and the director said that this is temporary. That is why I said that in my post.

OF COURSE the Cash Item Share would be temporary. It wouldn't be Nexon without something like that.

I didn't see it with my own eyes, sorry. NexonKR stahp it, just let us share things on our own account

And there goes my 'temporary' hope for this update. With that dead in the water for now I guess the most interesting stuff was all that new artwork of the Heroes for me-

Alright, let's go at it for real now. As someone who stopped spending cash after finding the difficulty in balancing the equips of two characters, I think that Nexon should look into that idea instead of making it temporary because just about all of us know that the real money is obtained from cubes and enhancements, but the problem with this is that most high-level players also invest into perma NX, pets and the like. Basically put, the slight revenue they'd lose from letting people share their cash items is more than off-set by the possibility of more 'mains' since most classes use a unique weapon and secondary in the first place.

I should also note that it's unlikely for high-level players to stick to one outfit across multiple characters. Heck, if they'd made cash equips share able back when I was willing to spend cash you bet that I'd have spent a pretty penny on hair coupons as well, and those styles aren't transferable.

So assisting the new players, but giving us more stuff to do by putting giant monsters in maps "and more party bonus exp in all maps"
I'm not sure anymore.
All I'm really looking forward to is the update to equip strengthening reorganization...

I don't know why people are disappointed by this update already. Let's be honest, all of us felt bad when Luminous appeared and we didn't get a Pirate Legend, don't get me wrong Luminous is awesome but now we got our pirate that I bet no one was expecting. The Mileague shop looks awesome, also that all maps have party play zone now.

We still don't know what we could get from this update beside Eunwol and the Mileague shop. Because to be honest most things are very vague, like for example the Rune system, the rewards from the Elite mobs/bosses and the new type of dungeon.

I can't understand Korean, but my impression is that while they're starting to understand what players want to change with Maplestory, they're still grasping at straws when it comes to implementation.

- Combat system: making new mini-bosses and introducing a combo-system for all classes (?) doesn't solve any of the problems with the current system. If anything, it just dilutes the uniqueness of classes that rely on a combo system.
- Guided gameplay (easier leveling to 100): I still think that Maplestory doesn't really introduce new players through the game very well. Yes, a lot of things are streamlined and there's also Tot quests, but making things simple is not the same as making a game approachable. In any case, I have a feeling they're going to make grinding even easier and maps/quests even more dumbed-down.
-Pirate hero: finally? They still haven't fixed any of the major plot-holes (and Luminous really doesn't fit in...) and I really hope that the new class isn't reskin/mod of Kanna.
-Cash inventories: I don't understand why they can't just make cash inventories shared BUT limit transfers. Like, they can make it so that a single item can only be transferred once every 3/6 months (some long period of time). That way people that play alts will still have to purchase multiple cash sets, and people that quit their old characters can transfer the stuff they wanted to keep.
