http://maplestory.nexon.net/news//5358/

Prepare for the next update in the Reboot trilogy: Harness the power of the mind with the new playable character class, Kinesis! Use Psychic Points and telekinesis to attack monsters and control objects. Then, visit the newly updated Mu Lung Dojo, and fight through 41 floors of monsters to receive a ranking and earn Mu Lung Dojo points. One of our GMS-exclusive dungeons, Star World, is returning and you can earn chairs and other rewards. The holiday celebrations continue with new events in which you can collect snowflakes, or countdown to the New Year! All this and more, in the Kinesis update!

[B]NEW PLAYABLE CHARACTER: KINESIS[/B]

Meet Kinesis, MapleStory’s newest character, who uses the power of telekinesis to attack and control monsters and nearby objects! Kinesis starts in FriendStory and is known as a local hero. When certain events spin out of control, Kinesis is transported to Maple World. Kinesis stores up Psychic Points (PP) by using skills, and can then use PP to power various Ultimate skills. The main weapon is the PSY-Limiter, which looks like a bracelet. The Chess Piece is the secondary weapon, and Kinesis can use Magician armor.



[B]UPGRADED MU LUNG DOJO[/B]

The current Mu Lung Dojo is getting overhauled to become ranked content for players Lv. 105 and above. Defeat the monsters on all 41 floors of the dojo to receive Mu Lung Dojo points to spend at the special shop. NPC Lao has stocked up on chairs, damage skins, equips, and more! You can also pick up a special charm that allows you to visit the Mind and Body Training Center where you can automatically gain EXP over time. In addition, there is now a single ranking mode, split into three different tiers; Novice, Skilled, and Master. Based on your ranking, you can earn gloves and titles!



[B]STAR WORLD DUNGEON[/B]

One of our GMS-exclusive dungeons is making a return. Visit Star World, a land galaxies away from Maple World, and complete quests to help the residents of MapleStory become constellations. Earn Constellation Coins and exchange them for multiple constellation-themed chairs, medals and more!



[B]MORE HOLIDAY EVENTS[/B]

The holiday celebrations continue in Maple World! Monsters are starting to drop snowflakes. Collect the snowflakes and turn them into NPC Cassandra to receive a Snowflake chair. She has 12 chairs in varying sizes, so keep collecting snowflakes to get them all and earn a Twelve-Chair Bag! Then celebrate the coming of 2016 with a countdown and special events on New Year’s Eve.

Does that mean we're getting it tomorrow? Or next week?
I do hope they fix the current bugs before giving us new ones.

reboot preview was 1 week + a bit before 1.68, so it seems likely that it's next week

Those snowflake chairs look ridiculous. Granted so do a lot of other recently released chairs.

So no server check today? Its getting pretty tiring with gollux dropping nothing and epic potential scrolls not being available in the reboot shop.

I just hope it comes out soon, theres still quite a bit that needs to be fixed

Patch next Tuesday I assume. Although Kinesis doesn't really interest me I need that link skill on my Marksman. Patch looks interesting overall though.

Kinesis looks like he rolled out of hot topic a few years ago.

Honestly he reminds me pretty much solely of Accelerator from To Aru Majutsu no Index.... I wouldn't be surprised if that's where all of the inspiration came from.

[MENTION=3186]HighOnMushrooms[/MENTION] What was the Kms reception to Kinesis? Not many videos floating around of a high funded Kinesis.

I'm told he's the Mary Sue (Gary Stu?) of the MapleStory director at Nexon at the time, who used to be a singer.

He really does have that Donut Steel look to him.

I don't see many around that's for sure. They're not as popular as new classes tend to be lol.

I have no idea what that is and I'm too lazy to google it so I'll just believe you.

 Spoiler

Do hope I didn't mess up the tags.
He's more in the Railgun spin offs than Index IIRC. It's been a while, and I marathon'd the series, so my memory of it may not be the best. In Railgun's second season, he wears a shirt of inverted colors than this(main color white/minor black). I could kind of see the likeness. Accelerator's power was controlling inertia or something, so it's like Kinesis' psychic s'hit.

I might come back to throw trains with the class, it does that, right?

Edit; made pic larger, I think.

I think there's a 4th job or Hyper that does that
