v.144 - RED: Zero Update Highlights

http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/updates...hts/00HOV/

• Meet Zero, a new playable character that's actually two characters in one!
  
  Coming December 18, Zero is one of MapleStory's most unique characters to date. Read on to learn about their origins and skills.
  
  
  The Goddess Rhinne controls the flow of time, though this mighty ability comes with a price: Rhinne can change anyone's future... but her own. Upon learning that the Black Mage would imprison her in the future, Rhinne had no choice but to create a child, a new Transcendent she hoped would one day replace her. That child was Zero.
  
  The Black Mage recognized the threat Zero represented. However, if he destroyed it, another Transcendent would simply take Zero's place. Thus, he gave his Commanders a task: split the Child of the Goddess into two separate entities, to prevent them from using their full powers. The two children, a boy and a girl, were taken to a world designed specifically to keep them locked away; Mirror World.
  
  The boy was raised as one of the Shadow Knights, an elite organization trained to battle the evils of the Umbra Temple, a pit of evil monsters located just outside their hometown of Shadowvale. But, as he grew older, he sensed that something was amiss. And one day he was proven right. He found a girl, bound and asleep inside the very temple he had been trained to fear, and the girl had his face. The boy knew he had to save her, and escape this prison, to find the truth...
  
  Zero is two new characters rolled up in one! Take control of Alpha and Beta and master their distinct fighting styles. Use both at the same time or swap between them during battle.
  
  The Zero class starts at Level 100 and remains in Mirror World until their story is complete at Level 180. After that they can explore Maple World to their hearts' content.Zero's skills are powered by Time Force, and not MP. Time Force recovers quickly and can be used almost limitlessly.
  
  Zero comes equipped with two weapons: Lapis and Lazuli, and as Zero grows, their weapons receive Weapon Points and grow in tandem.
  
  Rhinne may be imprisoned but hope is not lost. Take control of Zero and escape Mirror World!
  
  
  

No mention of anything besides Zero.

Shadowvale

Welcome to Shadow Vale?

Earlier than expected.

Earlier than expected.

Really? The patch is next Wednesday. Highlights go up a week before.

So how long will it take to get to 180? If we are going to be stuck inside that world for that long.

Usually I'm all over these new classes and play them till 200 but I can't bring myself to leave my Hero again.. They really made Adventures fun to play now.

Oh well level 160 forever crew

Only one week, I can't wait. On the other hand, i need to do all those explorer quests and find my warrior gear in a week. I love Beta's uninterested look while shaking Alpha's hand.

So how long will it take to get to 180? If we are going to be stuck inside that world for that long.

I think I read here that it's pretty fast at first then slows down in the later dungeons.

=3 Very Excited!

Now to just get my Marauder to level 100 before the 18th~

Really? The patch is next Wednesday. Highlights go up a week before.

Are you trying to correct my expectation....

Really?

Can anyone confirm the levels required to increase his link skill level?

I'm kind of meh if Commerci isn't coming with these two.

Are you trying to correct my expectation....

Really?

I guess so? I just stated a fact.

Can anyone confirm the levels required to increase his link skill level?

Lv. 120 to transfer. Link upgrades at levels 130, 140, then both Lv. 4 & 5 Link at 178.

May as well get it to 200 really, 4%/6%/8%/10% EXP character card at levels 110/130/160/200 respectively.

In KMS, we got a total of 500(If I remember) Red Coins for finishing all chapters of Zero's story quests.


As far as leveling goes, it's still pretty fast. I think I was getting ~1.5-2%(?) per instance cleared at 179. For the most part, it's an offset of story quest 1 level then grind the next, & repeat. Story quests generally give about a whole level's worth of EXP.

So how long will it take to get to 180? If we are going to be stuck inside that world for that long.

IIRC Zero can leave you just don't get any exp from other regions. This should let you use it for events and such at least.

Time to train dexterous finger.

Any mention to time creation like there is on KMS?

I'm kind of meh if Commerci isn't coming with these two.

Commerci was already included in the previous Highlight so there's still hope that it will be included with Zero. Hopefully they get all the kinks worked out in time because I'm not very interested in Zero aside from his Character Card.

very sad because theres no news about anything new aside zero... well

also lol alpha has bubbleB... and I feel bad for noticing it

Commerci was already included in the previous Highlight so there's still hope that it will be included with Zero. Hopefully they get all the kinks worked out in time because I'm not very interested in Zero aside from his Character Card.

His link skill is among the best there is, though.
