5th job to be released this year.

I thinked that for marksmans there could be a big xbow that can shoot a arrow with highter damage where you can charge like the old piercing arrow, since marksmans use the ice element(in 3 job) or should use more, so a arrow that can freeze bosses and monster for 20 sec, and this one you could even launch yourselft with it and get closer to some monster that is far .

I also thinked for marksmans, since we use xbows, we could ''store'' arrows and shoot more ''snipes'' in a short period of time, it could have a cool down and something like: if you don't attack or get hit you can charge this skill faster, we could even use arrows to make it more powerfull, making arrows usefull again, like gainning +10%damage besides the attack from the arrow, would be pretty cool search for the best arrows .

As i mentioned earlyer, marksman were suposed to be the ice archers until big bang came and sayed ''pineapple elements, no more class shall have it'' then what the game had pretty explored just got ''canceled'' or just faded away; before big bang a lot of classes(in the total) had some attack with element that you actually used, so maybe they could bring it back for some classes, like corsair that had fire and ice, marksmans with some ice and bowmaster with some fire(not some skills with red animantion ), i remember how some monsters were stronger/weaker against certain attacks, so people of some class would tend to train there, like collies(zombies) with clerics or even priests, and how neutral monsters you would find any class (gooby ); also in zakum where some arms were strong against ice/fire/poison/lightning so the magicans really needed to look out for that if they wanted to maximize they damage in the run.

The problem with that is how they've handled elements since Big Bang. They started giving classes skills that negate their elements simply because they've been giving every boss immunity to elements for no apparent reason. So this change would require reworking basically every piece of content of relevance to elements actually mattering.

Huge Bang Revamp!

I don't see why they couldn't make another big bang, it's been almost six years since big bang hit korea and that came six year after maplestory came out plus I can see from what the devs are saying and doing that they also want to(with the skeleton and they wanting to remove cap and other stuff), the only thing that makes me think they might not is that I doubt they have the resources they had back them or if it's a good idea to invest it on a pretty much dead game(although I think MS2 is doing worse than MS1 back there iirc).

Last I checked MS1 was actually still one of the more popular games in Korea. It's still behind Lineage 1, of course.

If you count other versions, like EMS, maplesea, and maybe even GMS than it can be dead compared to big bang.
