Today's the day.

32? -goes and counts classes available in KMS-

I counted 35... I wonder who's the shaft?

Aran and Zero, I can see it now...

Star Planet. Basically the event map where all characters from all servers can join and participate in mini games/events.
Name of the update is Shining Star.

Zero and Evan perhaps?
-nvm- lol

Aran and Zero, I can see it now...

I was thinking Mihile, but not too sure about the other two.

 Shining Star!

 Classes that are getting an update

Wine glasses for soda and pop?

Wow.

Aran and Zero, I can see it now...

Zero and Evan perhaps?

Zero and Evan sounds about right, with their irregular skill growth. As much as Nexon hates Arans (though I applaud them for repping a trans character lel), they wouldn't clip their wings like that. Is it sad that I am only excited about non-KMS classes? Maybe a few warriors, as well. I wonder how the story will go as far as so many classes gaining new power, and I am actually hoping for a lengthy questline to advance.

"Final Battle of the Black Mage"

Sounds scary. Seems like 'the one' who made that promise might fullfill it soon.

Well, from the pictures that maplefreak26 shared, it's somebody in either the Adventurers/Original Resistance/Cygnus Knights (not Mihile).

I'm guessing Blaze Wizard and Night Walker since they were the latest to get a revamp.

 Orca & Seuwoo

I feel sad for all the people who were hyped for 5th job. I knew it wasn't coming this summer, because it's not possible.

I really don't care when it comes, i just want them to say something about it. o.o

"We're updating 32 classes!" does not sound hype at all after all the "balance" patches we've had compared to "We're updating 32 classes to prepare for 5th job!"

Does anyone know approximately when we will know the skills that are being changed? I feel a feeling that Phantoms are going to be even more OP...

So, basically, it's the Star system, 4th job condensation to lvls 100-140, new Events place and MOAR revamps?.

Well, at least Aran revamp is confirmed for september.

Well that was disappointing...

Well, this hype died quickly.

I'd say Nexon would ignore BMs. But we all know that would be getting off easy. They're going to "buff" us and we'll only be doing 1s because Hurricane attacks fast which totally makes up for everything.

Although, I don't think you see Afrien in any of the pictures, maybe he was taking them?

Imagine him IN the photos though... You wouldn't be able to see anyone else.

"your dragon might be cut off"
"Nononono you have to include everyone!"
"It's either all of you or your dragon, Freud."

Class rebalances in MapleStory. Who would've thought?

So wait, is this picture new jobs or what?

 Spoiler

And what have Orca and Lotus got to do with anything?
