Maplestory E3 interview this morning-BIG INFO

I always expected the NLC expansion to come in August... The summer part one events end at the end of July, after all (the announcement isnt on the site anymore but it went till the 31st I think?).

As for those screenshots, they provide tonnes of information. THe first thing that interested me was the Headless Horseman on the "PkHG2" (I Guess that's Phantom Keep Hunting Ground 2? lol). Does this mean that Headless Horseman might be a more accessable boss for most? Additionally, that map is flat, making it look trainable. The question is for which group of levels. (The background of the map looks like a recolor of the current hallowed ground map except the trees attack you for 1 dmg here xD)

Another thing I noticed is a small change to the way buffs work. You'd notice in the Henesys screenshots that the potions are now transparent (the current ones have a whitish background and then the pot/pill). Doenst really effect anything but... yeah (I guess it makes those corner smegas easier to see? >_>). Then again, those could be just old screenshots of the game... I dont remember how they looked in beta/long ago before that.

Yes, I know archer's don't really have any def, but then again the person IS level 200 and wearing some decent clothes. Might not be 1....I'm guessing ~200?


Edit: (off topic) Hey Comb, noticed you were viewing this. Just joined?

The Henesys SSs are from beta.

The cavern looks like its huge (not just the map itself but the Depth and Dimension!)

WOW what a nice find xD the keep looks awesome, I don't see any jq there o.O

EDIT: notice the small character in the door of the keep, the keep is HUGE.

I can imagine it now. Noob NLC explorers enter the first map...
HEADLESS HORSEMAN SMASH!!!
Noob dies...

That would be great, even if i die in one hit too (-hates low hp xD-)

what if they just made Horseman spawn inth e2nd map instead of the 1st one? I mean that would give noobs a much better JR wraith map to train on right?

Still likeing the keep... It's Ginormous! xP

Nice. Looking forward to crimsonwood keep

Great find!!

I'm really looking forward to Crimsonwood Keep

I still wonder what the music will be like.

I noticed something, when you are in front of the keep you don't see the castle over the barrier, but when you are in the valley of heroes you can see the castle. That's a little weird.

*expects to hear people crabbing about no pirates*

Anyway, I'm no expert on bows, but that's a Dragon Shiner Bow, right? That's not a new bow?

Also, seeing the front of the castle reminds me a LOT of the GPQ castle and the guardians there. Coincidence?

Thanks for the info!

Now i have updated my thread

And lol...now we have all the info about it....
@.@

Yes, yes it is.

If you notice it has FOUR Posters of the FOUR main jobs DISCOURAGING THE FACT THAT PIRATES ARE INCLUDED IN THE MAIN SYMBOL.

Yeah, it's just the regular 110 Bow.

I asked once whether Crimsonwood Keep and Sharenian had any contact, and he didn't really say much. I guess we can see now that they do!

Seriously a jump questy to gain access to the new area? -___________________-

That just killed my fun >=0 (hope JQ is easy... I have a hard time just jumping onto the platforms at APQ >.>)

Thats how I feel.

The Keep looks HUGE, see how big the char is at the gate?! I wonder if you can get inside it yet though.


MechMike it looks like a Knuckle on the furthest right banner on the keep wall to me...or a claw and throwing star. lol

This looks truely epic. I might cry at how beautiful the Keep looks. Let's just hope that this is as good as it looks.

Fiel, get ready to do your prepatcher thing hiny eyes:

The fact that the level 200 archer in the picture is wearing all bosshunter gear and still doesn't have enough hp with hb to tackle horntail just sucks.

Well, since it probably is a GM test server, it seems like they didn't get any hp job advancing.

lol so true. I noticed it too. Maybe it is something to bring up with NxProse in his thread yet again.

The thing that I'm looking forward to most out of all this is a better curse filter.

Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised but I'm not really getting my hopes up about the new content.
