Can't Watch the KMS Summer surprise Livestream? Watch it here!

I'm pretty interested in the 100 man boss raids. I sure hope they have level ranges like, 100~130, 131~160, 161~250. etc.

Well, the auction system and the 100 man boss raids are something to look forward to at least hehe

Spadow also mentioned something in his blog, like giving free players and paid players "equal fun".

I hope that includes potential nerf. Or making good potential easier to get for those who don't buy or buy reasonable amounts of nx.

Special changes to DB and CS specifically doesn't sound particularly good...not sure what to make of the rest of this but ok.

Yeah I don't know what to make of this.. though all of the DB/CS revamps/additions have been awesome so far. I'm anticipating a hurricane-esque 5th job single target for Dual Blade because I don't see what other direction they can go in with it.

Revamp - Expected/10. Can't really hope for anything.

Item Restore System - inb4 it falls flat on its face, least in GMS.

Auction Hall - About freaking time Nexon! inb4 requires NX to use.

1:100 Boss Battle - This will end very badly, especially in GMS where our servers are utter pomegranate

New PvP Mode - Don't care about it in the slightest, it reminds me of Ice Knight PvP and that was horrible. Just bring back old PvP and call it a day.

Profession Revamp - About fucking time. Even talked to a couple friends about how long overdue the system is.

V - inb4 5th job. Bit overdue since there's absolutely no incentive to bother with leveling past 200.

Mentioned this in my blog but does this look like any town we have right now?

I'm going to see how PvP draws out before I instantly cast it down.

It doesn't look like any town in Maple but that thing at the top reminds me a bit of those weird gate things around the outskirts of NLC.

Reminds me a tad bit of Magatia.

EDIT: But only a little bit. It's been a long time since I've been there.

Preface: I'm not actually disparaging the system without knowing anything about it, just doing it for fun.

KMS Mindset: Use the system appropriately and only when necessary, which I assume isn't often, since I don't frequently hear hacker outrage. Thank goodness for a backup!

GMS Mindset: Pose as a hacker's victim while the equip is on another account or with a friend. Thank goodness for a backup!

GMS Hackers: Find a way to turn this into a method of duping. Thank goodness for a backup!

KMS:

Yeah I don't know what to make of this.. though all of the DB/CS revamps/additions have been awesome so far. I'm anticipating a hurricane-esque 5th job single target for Dual Blade because I don't see what other direction they can go in with it.

If 5th job is even really 5th job. 4th job for cannoneers was ridiculous considering they have an overwhelming 1v1 and mobbing ability that stem from two skills that do what they do very well. Not sure how you improve on that for 5th job.

Well it's about time they did something like this. Summer should be interesting. This game really needa an update with more content.

I really hope the new class isn't just another Warrior or Mage... they've been done to death already. We're long overdue for a new Archer...

Because of you I decided to go and count up how many of each type of class we have just for fun. We have:

Warriors: 10
Archers: 5
Mages: 8
Thieves: 6
Pirates: 7

This is counting the exclusive classes (not Dragon Warrior though, since it's mostly the same as Jett).

So yeah, we need some archers and thieves I think. I want an archer that uses a Ballista that follows behind the player and aims at a modified cursor!

I think Nexon has had trouble thinking up new ideas for an archer class because they are more limited in weapons than let's say, warriors or a mage. Maybe one day they will have a creative breakthrough though (lol)

Warriors could use a massive variety of weapons, including the many they already have.

And yet Nexon has a major fetish for swords, to the point where the last 4 warrior classes released have used Swords (5 if you include Hayato). And it's creeping into other jobs too, since Xenon uses a sword type weapon as well. and from the looks of it the next class is ALSO a warrior using a sword, as if we haven't had enough.

They don't seem to care about reusing weapons, so them not making Archers is simply because they have a major hard-on for Warrior classes.

Bows can be utilized in different ways, i mean look at Varus and Ashe from League of Legends. they both use bows fairly simply, but they use them in different ways.

They should have added brawlers to warriors and gunslingers to bowmen, but instead went and made "pirates" that have nothing in common with each other, they don't even all use the same base stat.
If they had gone and expanded "bowmen" to include all types of shooters, whether they shoot arrows, bolts, or bullets (or stars?), we'd have more of them now than warriors (and people would be complaining that melee classes are really limited in variety).

Oh well.

Could be Magatia.
Remember that other picture, with the worldmap?

That big thingy over Minar/Desert? It's slightly over Magatia, possibly.

Could it be linked with the 'Mirror World'?

As long as they give every archer class hurricane, there is no point in making more copies of existing archers and making them use bows. So far, every archer class has had the same 1v1 skill with different abilities and mob skills to differentiate between them. As long as this is how Nexon thinks about archers, they shouldn't release more classes that use bows imo.

I feel like they have less in common with bowman than they do with each other under the class title "pirates." Bowman have always used arrows in this game and it makes sense to me why Nexon didn't just expand them into a "ranged" group of classes. By your logic, there should only be two class groups, melee and ranged, because gunslingers do not really have anything in common with the current bowman classes besides their ability to use ranged attacks and the same primary stat. I agree that the pirates do not have much in common, but as long as bowmen are restricted to using arrows and some sort of bow, new classes are fairly restricted for the bowman group.

Warriors: 10

I think an Archer/Mage hybrid Arcane Archer would be an awesome idea!

[MENTION=8017]CrazyForDex[/MENTION]; There are plenty of ideas to choose from, Nexon just seems to have no interest in us. On the other hand they gave away Hurricane to everyone and their dog Spot along with crazy ranged attacks to even new melee classes.

[MENTION=4093]SaptaZapta[/MENTION]; Maybe DS and Kaisor should be classified as an archer!
