Maplestory "High Five" Private Showcase

It might be better aesthetically. It could work like Demon Slayer's Demon Lash upgrades, where each new upgrade increases the damage and appearance. But then again, it could probably use some more upgrades than just final damage.

On a side note, Demon Slayer's 5th job attack looks like a larger demon slash to me.

By the way, anyone noticed that the spirits of ancient Kaisers (Kaiser's 5th job skill) consist of apparently another two (suppose-to-be) Nova classes which we always see in the Nova Temple?





Guess they could make this as a reason for not further expanding the Nova branches.

Also, Nexon really hates Wind Archer for a reason. I could tell which of his skills are being mixed together for this so-called 5th job skill.

You don't choose. It depends on what cores you find.

You can also choose to ignore the cores for weaker skills and just keep rolling till you get the one you want. ._.

My point is that you have limited slots, so you're gonna have to make a choice eventually.

That's pretty much what it is, being intended, unlike...

I've been saying this for a while. Not just because of this, but for other reasons (no mobility with Song of Heaven, too many active buffs, Spiraling Vortex being a piece of crap, Trifling Wind being glitchy as hell, and some other things I can't think of at the moment). Instead, they keep giving us extra damage to shut us up.

Official video from the showcase event with the players' reaction.

Well, they're awfully hyped for getting one new skill per class.

.....Eh, I suppose the new skill system has some positive implications as far as bridging the gap between "whales" and normal players go. But still. They announced 5th Jobs, what, two years ago?

Kinda seems lackluster for how long the wait, considering some classes don't even get new attacks. Hero gets a summon. Mercedes apparently gets a glorified Shadow Partner. Demon Avenger gets a buff skill.....

Well, they're awfully hyped for getting one new skill per class.

Nobody knew that 5th job would currently only consist of one skill when this was shown at the event...

Not with the damage cap removal and apparently somebody hit the damage cap (?)

Depends on how easy it is to "keep rolling".

Most maplers have to settle for less than perfectly scrolled, enhanced, and cubed, best-in-slot gear. We'll also have to settle for a less-than-perfect Matrix, unless Nexon is no longer Nexon.

What did I watch...

The first patch of the V update will hit today in Korea. There's a preview video of the update.
The Hi-Five event will commence and it will contain a 5th job secret according to the video, but it aint going to be a secret now anymore.



It shows that the Core Gemstone Piece item can be obtained from the Hi-Five boxes.

Oh so they're NOT going to be super rare items? Man that's nice given how bad mastery books were.

Boxes means event, to kickstart this system.
We don't know how often the pieces will come from the boxes, and we don't know what sources there will be for them once the event boxes stop dropping.

My guess is that the pieces won't be super rare, but the chances of getting a "good" core from them will be like all Maple RNG items.

Unless there's consistent events to supply these things I'm still leaning towards them just being made tradeable. I'm a broken record at this point but they're really making this a lost opportunity.

Character Card changes:

• + damage cap -> + % critical rate
  
• + damage cap -> + % damage
  

Empress set effect of decreasing all status effect durations by 2 seconds has been changed to +10 resistance to status effects.

Hm, pretty interesting that armor can get %damage now, though %stat might be better anyway depending.... I do like the narrowing of potential lines, though, and there appears to be more that are just beneficial in general now. I don't really like the status resist system now though. It could definitely use some tweaks, assuming 999 resist means conditions are instantly dispelled.

Time to bemoan the fact that GMS removed %avoid in "A Better Maple"?

Also, +10 status resistance for Empress set? 10/999 doesn't sound like much.

I'm pretty sure the point of the status resistance change is so that everyone doesn't go around with max status resistance, possibly not even anywhere close.

Then why have it at all?

It makes no sense that you level up 5 Cygnus Knights to 120 just to shave one second off a 30-second status (and even that is only if they round up).

So we will be able to get %damage from equipment as well?:f6:
