v.151 - Rising Heroes: Echoes of Darkness Update Highlights

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

• On July 9, say hello to Shade, Maple World's forgotten hero. Read on to learn all about MapleStory's newest playable character.
  
  Many centuries past, the sinister Black Mage left doom and destruction wherever he went. Only six brave heroes dared oppose him, including Shade, but the valiant efforts of these brave souls were not enough to defeat the Black Mage. With no options remaining, the Six Heroes sought to seal the Black Mage with powerful magic. However, a sacrifice was required to activate the seals. Shade volunteered and saved the world, but at a great cost: now the very memory of him has been forgotten.
  
  Today, Shade has been reborn in Fox Point Village, a distant land located in Grandis. Thanks to the kindness of the Pointy-Ear Foxes that live there, this forgotten hero has been brought back to the world of the living. This reawakening is bittersweet though, as Shade must come to terms with this new world, and the fact that most of his friends have been lost to time, just as he was.
  
  Shade's main stat is Strength, and he uses Knuckles as his primary weapon – perfect for quick attacks. Shade can summon spirits to perform various attacks. Use the power of the spirits to aid you in battle! With Ground Pound, you can summon a nature spirit to punch the ground and damage multiple enemies. Using Spirit Claw will bring forth a wind spirit that can claw at enemies and pull them toward you in a fierce attack.
  
  Take control of Shade and rewrite history!
  
  
  

AFTER ALL THOSE MONTHS OF WAITING.
FINALLY.

Not that I'm not excited for Shade/Eunwol, but I hope that this patch has more than just a new character.

Huh, I didn't think they Version Up'd for class releases. o3o

So, it's.. nothing but Shade?

I assume we'll get some more changes from You&I, etc.

Hopefully it means more goodies are included.

Eurgh it sucks that it comes out after the cash inventory thing has ended.

Waltzing said they're trying to get it extended.

Looks... shady

they front loaded most of the you & i changes to the first patch; which is just fine. hopefully we'll get a bug patch.
as for extending the CS transfer... that was on purpose; i doubt an extension, but its possible

Me too.. it'd be kinda lame if it was just shade and the fox point village and nothing extravagant.

touchwood. pls pls pls

Didn't people say that this class was boring? I'll poke around for lols, but I can't say this class looks promising to me

I'm very interested in how Shade plays in comparison to Buccaneer and Thunder Breaker. I made sure to make both of them and get them to 4th job before Shade's release so I could see which of the 3 I prefer the most.

Also, it's a shame we're not also getting The Seed with this patch, but I guess I can wait a bit longer for it~

Finally. Seems like I've been waiting forever for Shade.

I'll probably just make one to 150 for the Fox Ring and dump it.

I was only gonna make Eunwol for the character card, but I don't have a slot since I missed that honey attendance thing.

Hopefully they'll add The Seed and Kritias Tyrant Gloves at some point

To be honest, INB4 hype train

I'll probably just make one to 150 for the Fox Ring and dump it.

Seriously? Lv150 for the event ring? I swear they've been slowly raising the level requirements for these things.

It's a level 70 ring that's account tradeable and reveals as Unique, so I think it's fair.
