GM BLOG The Battle of Crimsonwood Keep

for the first time in months, i am excited about maple again.

WOW thats huge, just the way i like it, hope it comes out soon

That sure is a funny looking gun handle and it sure is holing it weird. :f6:

Edit - @Above, it’s definitely a bow since you can see it carry on behind the sword and the arm.

I cant tell if its holding the gun and the sword, or just the gun and the sword is stuck in the ground, lol.

Anyway FJ better not be REQUIRED, i'd still like to get in as a thief for the PQ as a shadower >.>

 Spoiler

I'm just wondering if this is going to be like it will in the game because that would be kick-ass.

And what I mean is when you walk up to the statue instead of it just showing the feet or something the camera pans-out to show the whole thing.

did anyone else notice that all the weapons are glowing O_O

no way, camera panning would be really bad, people who play windowed mode wouldnt be able to see anything at all.

Pre time temple they had a shot of the whole pink bean's room with a character panned out, and pre CWkpt1 they had a shot of a character on the steps of the keep panned out. 99% sure it wont pan, besides, I think that'd more take away from the scale of the eipc-ness than add to it.


And PLEASE nexon, tell me you're going to get rid of hackers alongside this, that will make this the best patch ever.

Lol, the keep is overrun with versalians, so just because the maple world didn't have pirates doesn't mean that the versal world doesn't. Besides, they are using the old keep, so they apparently haven't changed the crest. Plus, we don't even know what this statue is yet, it could be a relic of the past which would possibly be a plot hole, or it could be the stone version of a boss that's been defeated who knows.

My bet is its Christopher Crimsonheart, the only person to have mastered all of the classes.

Then again, I never pictured him as having 4 arms, so lol.

Not all classes since Pirates didn't exist during his time.

And if they create some stupid plot hole to avoid the whole "Pirates existing only a few years ago" that would just be lame on their part.

None of the classes we have now existed back then, they had Stormcasters and Shadowknights and Windreavers and such, ours are all just newer variations of those, also Lukan did mention that there were other guilds (all-be them less major) than the 4 primary ones (and bosshunters), so they may not be actualy pirate pirates, but just people that used guns and knuckles back then.

Now that I think about it pirates arent such a stretch.

Also to keep this on topic, is that statues wearing bosshunter boots?

[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]I'm pretty sure, that's supposed to be a claw, not a knuckle.

Mainly because if it was a claw, there would be no weapon indicating thieves.[/COLOR]

Actually, this.

Plus this gives me an idea.

If there are Versalian versions of the 4 Grandmasters why wouldn't there be a Versalian version of Christopher Crimsonheart himself?

In fact, if there are two Christopher Crimsonheart's maybe they're brothers.

The Maple world and the Versal world can be thought of like two sides. The Light side with Subani, and the Dark side with Naricain.

Well if that is true, I hope it's either easy, give retries, or at least only has to be traversed by a few people. I am a pretty bad jumper and there are people even worse than I am.

Well, there's a limit to how bad a jumper one can be and still attempt this PQ. After all, it's in Crimsonwood Keep. REALLY bad jumpers can't cross the Valley of Heroes to get there.

Shadowers and Buccs can, lol.


Luckily im a good JQ'er >=D

i hope this PQ takes at least 30mins-1hr to complete... and requires you to fight that big statue boss... and is like fighting Horntail... one piece at a time... that would be awesome!

The thing is, the only reason why I can jump most quests is because I have the ability to just go at it until I pass. I can jump Sabitrima 2, but it takes me like 0.5-1 hour to get past it every time, and so on.

If this is a jumpquest you cannot afford to even make one misstep in, then I am not suitable for such a jump quest.

I think that's more like the main hall area of the PQ, no?

And to everyone saying the top right weapon is a knuckle, I think it's a claw, since otherwise there's no thief presentation. And if the middle bottom weapon is a dagger, then there's no warrior representation. Or it could be since warriors can use STR daggers. But that's ridiculous.

I think only the truly skilled platformer players can really pass hard JQs on the first few goes. Since the Valley of Heroes JQ doesn't really tolerate mistakes easily, I found it to be rather easy; I passed it every time, except the first time because I wanted to see how much damage the Menhir did xD (and I practically mapped out Phantom Forest by the time I got to the Valley anyways).

Aside from extreme punishment for mistakes in JQ, I'm rather sloppy as well. Heck, I could swear some JQs can't be passed without running through some of the dangers. And I even use the obstacles to, in the words of fellow guildies, "fly h4x" my way up GPQ JQs and Kerning B3.

No words.

That's just astonishing.

Wow, they really surprise me. Their work with Masteria expansions is excellent.

That statue looks really epic, I'm really looking forward it!

Are you forgetting the sword right in the middle?

I have to say the bottom weapon is a bow because of the hand that is holding it is covered with a Bowman's glove.

Top left weapon = Staff = Mages.

Top right weapon = Claw = Thiefs.

Middle weapon = Sword = Warriors.

Right middle weapon = Gun = Pirates.

Right bottom weapon = Bow = Bowmen.

The sword is touching the pedestal, no? Hence "bottom middle" =P And I'm fully aware of there being 5 weapons.
