Today's the day.

So wait, is this picture new jobs or what?

 Spoiler

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

Well I suppose, that they revamped the Evo world in KMST for this reason .
And Yes it's probably some new fancy jobs *hopefully novas -stares at star wand-*, or they are just some npcs from the star plant.
I don't think anyone knows who or what those are yet

o.O

When is the revamp coming to kms? I mean why did nexon go to the trouble of all the skill changes in kmst which will be live in kms on July 24 only to have revamp kick in like one month plus later.

Really I'm amazed that people even still play Maple. All they been doing with updates lately is skill revamps here and there. Really quite bulls'hit if you ask me..

need moar skill tweaks

cmon it's been a year since the epic red reveal

at this rate, hyper skills 2.0 will be the 5th job and we will be lucky it will be done before ms2 is out

At least my expectations weren't crushed. I didn't have any

Just woke up all excited to read everything. Very.... anticlimactic.

Whelp. Just need to wait for extractions now, I guess. ho hum.

I thought Orchid wasn't a commander anymore?

Wasn't there an in-game image not very long ago of her being pierced through the heart by a beam of darkness? It's possible that the Black Mage has brought them back as his commanders, by force this time.

Those job rebalances better be big ones

Inb4, they make Cannoneers OP, and I have to move my equips back from Shade...

EDIT:
I hope the KMST job changes we just saw are the rebalances... Cannoneers only get 1 skill changed (max level)... you can't call that a rebalance....

Also, Zero and Aran weren't changed in KMST yet.

Read the comments on this page. That set of changes is slated for july 24th.

It's not september yet. Earliest we would see anything is probably mid august.

Oh, cool. Thanks for clarifying.

Quoting Max
So to summarize, on July 24, they will release the Coordinator’s Helping Hand: Star Force update, including the new Star Force enhancement system and job balancing. This patch will also include the fallen star maps, new level 100~140 equipment, and boss changes.

On August 14, they will release the Shining Star update, with the Mileage changes and the new Star Planet event map!

Finally, in September, they will release the Black Magician’s Final Battle: Orca & Suu update! Resistance classes will get a reorganization in this patch and there will be new content for high level characters!

Thinking back now, these summer update "conference" was never exciting, at least personally for me. Maybe others enjoy sneak preview, but I prefer detailed "spoilers" in the form of kmst patch where we will see the mechanic of new jobs or the extend of revamp for existing ones.

Anyway from max's word, it seems like only resistance get revamp rather then 32jobs being revamp as mention somewhere earlier in this thread. Wonder if by resistance, does nexon include DS DA and xenon or just the 3 "normal" resistance.

Wait, what? More revamps? I was mildly interested in 5th jobs and the content that would have to follow, but business as usual?

The high level content mentioned must be at a never before seen level to drag old players out of hiding. I have a feeling that it is just another retard tier boss and some petty linear quest maps tied to it.
I can't actually remember any area from KMS after Leafre that offered something really interesting in regards to adventuring for those already at the level where content just stops. I suppose Temple of Time was pretty nice but it isn't really of the scale I'm talking about.

I wont be surprised if the new contect is expansion to evo world since i think the whole area will conect to Suu and Orca

Wait.. is this going to be a new commander fight or an actual fight the black mage? Wouldn't the black mage be the end of the game?

The Black Mage's final battle?!

But there's so many unresolved storylines. Besides Orca and Lotus, we still have the rest of the Black Wings, Daimen, Will, the dream manipulator elf girl (Lucid I think? I pretty much stopped playing months ago and haven't done Shade's story quests.), the whole plot to merge Maple World and Grandis, Magnus (However the hell he fits into all this. I'm still not sure just what the hell he's doing working for both the Black Mage and Darmoor.), Gelimer, Arkarium and Hilla are still alive, etc.

.....

Losing's going to be part of the Black Mage's plan ala Diablo, isn't it?

.....

Whatever, if he dies and comes back, someone still has to eat shirt.

You would have thought with the dozens of balance patchs Nexon would have figured it out by now.

The only thing I take from this is that Fiel is going to eat his shirt.

Or it's just an extremely misleading update title. If it actually were a boss battle with the Black Mage, you'd think he'd be the piece of stock art shown rather than Orchid and Lotus.

I thought Orchid wasn't a commander anymore?

Maybe they used the image for visual purposes only.

Well, at least Aran revamp is confirmed for september.

There won't be an Aran revamp in September. In September, 132 skills from 32 classes will be changed to bring more life into the classes, making each have a different personality and more uniqueness than other classes. Also they're going to add more story lines together between classes and enhance storytelling. The Resistance class will be revamped, but they've said only a few classes. They didn't say exactly which class isn't going to get updated. I think Mechanic won't be updated.

The new director has said that there was originally no plan to revamp the Aran and Evan class. However, they have changed their mind after hearing the requests of many Korean users and so it is their responsibility to revamp both classes. It won't be in September, but more will be revealed over time in the developer notes.

Content for Lv. 200~250 is low priority at the moment according to the new director.
