[1.2.222] The Aran Race

Gonna have to break your combo to loot drops.

That's what pets are for! ))

Also I don't see the combo counter? Maybe I'm just blind though.

On the right of the screen.

Wow, i'm impressed. Not only does the combo counter go up 1 for every mob you hit (favoring the mobbing skills they have) the FJ thing shoots them EXTREMELY far. Like off screen.

Looking forward to seeing what 3rd and 4th job is like.

Oooh yeah. Wow that goes up pretty high. That's awesome.

Aegis Shield requires a combo of 300 before it can be used. Wonder how long it'll take to get that high during boss runs and such.

Wow....this looks really fun =x I wanna try this class out for sure XD It would be so fun to have a "Whats your highest combo" thread and have people post pics : P

Oh I can see it now *__*

It's not so much a problem of getting there, but a problem of whether or not using these skills resets the counter to 0.

Then again, since the buff lasts like 2 minutes it shouldn't be that hard to get that high if the boss is stationary.

i don't see *too* much changed data, but I think it might be better to let Fiel take a look at it. If you want a short version, there's a bit of login info for Aran on the Race Select screen:


The Race Select Icon only features 2 shaded figures instead of 5, one holding a polearm and one with an Axe. This could be indicative of incomplete artwork or concept, or it could just be a pure warrior race (which to me seems weird). Only a few new skill animations (Aegis Shield is one of them). I think I'll have better luck interpreting it from in game so I'll go check it out. Bring back some screenshots.

Good luck and can't wait to see what will happen with this.

If it does end up being a pure Warrior race (which I don't), then I hope they make one with STR Daggers.

Leveling a Aran is easy, persay.
Right now my lv15 Aran is using normal attack. xD
I'm still kind of confused on how to activate the backswingstabawesome move,
but I'm still only lv15.
I'd video, and so would a certain koreaboo, but we are scared Fraps is still bannable.

Afaik you have to hit the skill button in the middle of the normal attack animation. Try that. :O

If you get it working, this attack lets you modify what side you hit at right? So if i attack left, and i hit the skill and hold the right arrow, will i attack right or left? ;-;

If you ask me, they both look like they're holding polearms (one male, one female).

Just say Spadow

Yeah, defenitely. I think this is just representing the only one out right now is the pole arm users.

The combo counter was not what I expected. I thought 300 was a number on a meter that built up and accumulated like energy, rather than an actual combo. I really hope that some passive skill like Polearm Mastery increases the time the combo counter stays on. Can you imagine trying to maintain that against anything that dispels, or training on a sparse map? I also hope all the skills that require a combo counter to use either refreshes the counter, or has a really fast animation. I can see it now:

Activate Aegis Shield.
Counter resets to 0 because it casts for too long.

Also, saw that the race was wearing a warrior helmet. That confirms then that all warrior related equipment are wearable by the new class.

HP is less than a warrior it seems, or I haven't played a warrior in so long I forgot how much HP that even have pre-2nd job.

I think it lacks Improving MaxHP.

Ok then!
It isn't banable!
Hopefully?
btw hes playing on my acc. 8)
Butttttttttttttttttttttttt,
I figured out to work out the cool attack.
You have to keep regular attack on CTRL, I moved it to shift and it wouldn't work.
So it goes:
CTRL attack -> hit -> while hitting ctrl again -> skill activates.
Something like that.

Yeah, defenitely. I think this is just representing the only one out right now is the pole arm users.

Does anyone wonder that maybe the Aran race is the warrior class? With it's two jobs? And they will release the other classes later?

They released a notice when cygnus was starting testing saying they'd release more classes for testing later, so i guess we have to see what nexon korea says about it.

Here's a quick and dirty google translation of the Aran race select screen:

Forgotten heroes return to Maple World!

I remember years ago with the loss of hundreds of awakenings hero.
A long time ago, a true warrior, fought to protect Maple World
For a long time due to the curse of the black wizard gathyeo was stirring in the ice.
Lose all the power of the past, like a normal person, but
If you regain the absolute power of the real power is crown.

Couldn't make one out of the words, but basically, they were frozen by the black magician long ago and now they're back.
