Future Jobs ~

so theres many sub classes of jobs now. Adventurer,Cygnus Knights ,Resistance , Legends and Adventurer gaiden.
they've been making many sub categories and then make up another "race"

so basicly , if each race will have each of the 5 main classes that leaves us with quite a few unknown jobs

 Spoiler

nine to be exact, so do you guys think they'll make all of these "missing classes" and if they do what do you think they'll be.

this isn't really a serious thread but it is about maplestory and it is a disscussion thread so I figured i'd post it here.

I personaly hope they make a sword mage for the warrior, battle mages don't count.

I was a red mage, give him some long ranged magic with a sword and a nice summon and i'll be quiet about anything nexon does wrong, srsly.

p.s the reason resistance is wearin a gun is because its most likley that he'll be a gunner ( mechanic )

anyways, what do you guys think? also how epic are my fail picto chart skills for those of us ( me ) who need a picture to keep in mind all the classes.

I imagine a summoner, pilot, Axe warrior, Ballista, and I have no idea for theif.

Resistance:

Nothing says "I resist" better than a freaking Axe warrior! Just chunk em to bits. No fancy tricks, just all power babe. They could use an axe-throwing skill, a rolling-axe high speed movement that rushes and attacks everything as you pass by, and heavy hitting skills that break monsters armor and damage resist.

The thief could be a cloaking and sly attack based specialist. He can attack while being hidden, and get haste from being hidden only. He could also disguise himself as other mobs and attack as them. They could also have a skill that at max level mimics another job skill of your choice. For example, party a Bishop, cast "mimic" and have him heal you, you'll memorize heal. Party a Bucc, cast "mimic" and have him use Dragon Strike, you'll memorize it. You can only memorize one skill at a time, and learning a new one overrides the previous one.

Legends:

Battling pirate using a brand new weapon that is like a gunblade (or maybe dual wielding with a knuckle/blade and a gun), great melee attacking and rushing skills, as well as long-ranged shooting for bosses, stunning, and other purposes. Choose your play style kind of job.

adventurer - done
cygnus - done
resistence - done too, there is no place for the remaining two jobs, its supposed to be like that
legends are missing an archer and a pirate, so most likely they will make them to balance with resistence..
about gaiden.. i dont know.. its not really a "race" dual blade is an adventurer in a legend way, kind of a mix in between... shoulda been declared as a legend... if not, maybe theyll make the remaining 3 legends only and we r finally done with the mass jobs shitty thing, i want them to stop releasing jobs

Since they totally revamped the accuracy formula to the point where stats hardly mean anything anymore, a warrior/mage or pirate/mage class is no longer out of the question. The primary class would be Warrior/Pirate, for reasons that should be obvious later.

Such a class could bring up interesting build options - use the already statless swords to go weapon attack route, or create a new statless Rapier set of weapons for the magic attack route (strictly defined as warrior/pirate only)?

(I'd hope that such a class would encourage using one-handed weapons only. They'd also have to create a few non-mage Shields that give INT. They'd have to change all 1H Swords to be equippable by Pirates as well, assuming they use this idea and go with the Pirate/Mage instead of the Warrior/Mage route.)

---

Each of the Legends look like they'll have their own special gimmick. Originally, I thought the Archer Legend's gimmick was going to be what the Wild Hunter now does. Now I'm leaning towards the idea that the Archer Legend is going to use the same system as Wild Hunter, but with bows and the ability to summon different monsters instead. Or hell, they could make the Archer Legend an Archer/Mage hybrid with a new set of Spell Bow weapons, although I'd think they would save that for the Archer Gaiden class instead (assuming there are going to be any more Gaiden classes).

I have no idea what Thief and Pirate could possibly do though. Perhaps Pirate could do something like the Pirate/Mage hybrid thing mentioned earlier?

EDIT: Spadow has mentioned a few times in his comments that there was some kind of Q/A session with Nexon regarding Big Bang, and Nexon representatives said that the other three Legend classes are being released next year. I do agree that the Resistance will not get filled up any further, though. I also think that Adventurer Gaiden will only get another Archer and Pirate class before stopping.

Part of the balance with some classes is that they offer fewer possible selections. I doubt they're going to fill in the gaps as that changes part of the point of the differences in each class. Remember in the class selection window where it shows rankings on a scale from 1 to 3? Yeah, that.

So no, I don't foresee them going back to fill in. They might add more to the Adventurer classes and then add more to the legends/resistance/whatever because of it.

Adventurer Firsts Jobs are 000 - 500
Then a random 900 job as a GM
Cygnus are the 1000s
Legends are 2000s
Resistance are the 3000s
Then a another GM job with 9000.

This makes me believe they don't plan on making more than a 9000 race. If you subtract 3 from your 9 estimate, for Legend, that leaves one for 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 thousand, as well as another Something-Gaiden.

Then again, the GM jobs use to be 500 and 510.

Well they said that they would finish legends next year, so thsoe are confirmed, I doubt that they will make more resistance members as well as gaidens.

They could add new branches for bowman (beastmaster?) pirate (rapier user?) and prooooobably thief (even though there is allready dual blade as some kind of third branch)

Not to mention that who knows if they will implement a completly fresh job anytime in the future?

A three-musketeers style pirate would be incredibly fun I bet!

Adventurer warriors and magicians already have three branches, so it's just archers and pirates left. A pirate wielding sabres could fit in quite decently :o

I'm pretty sure the 9000 class is for weapon curses for durability weapons and potential bonuses.

Thought Mechanics where there own branch? Are they pirates or what?

Oh, yea. Why did I call them GM? :x

Resistance

They're expected to be part of the resistance, just late.

We know Mechanics are part of the resistance, I think he was asking which equips they use (e.g. Wild Hunters use crossbows, which are Bowman weapons, Dual Blades and Night Walkers and Bandits all use Thief equipment)

Since Arans use combos and Evans have their Dragon or w/e, I don't know what other feasible concepts there are. basically, Evan, Wild Hunter and Mechanics just ride on stuff, so there's that. Looks like that's the route we're going. I could see a Pirate riding a perma-battle ship or some sort.

Gunblade or dual pistols would be nice. dual pistols would differ from dual blades because the dual blade isn't technically a dual blade but rather 2 different "weapons". dual pistols would actually be using 2 pistols. Gunblade is just gimmicky, but lots of fun to think about ;D

The ''Gimick'' of a legendary hero is that the thing they used to fight with had a will and mind of it's own and was able to communicate through the wielder, that is, the legend. This is what is said to Aran during his storyline, this is why Evans dragon can also talk to Evan.

If there is a pirate in the storyline of maple that already has a talking weapon, then that may in fact be the legend.

While a beast master class for archer sounds cool, it'd just be a shadow of Evan, I think they would be better off making a ringmaster that has a elf spirit inside of it, or an earring, while they ect carry bows(or xbows?). Kinda like how Evan doesn't do anything with his wand except wave it around(seriously they could have emphasised on this or gave him orbs or books)

I honestly think that the pirate will be a gunner, and that he will use a form of legendary bullets that return back to him when used after a set time, he will most likely have one special bullet that talks to him, and it will probably appear in snipe-tiered skills that he may or may not have.


Thieves already have a concept going for them, shadow partner. But imagine a constantly active and able shadow partner that can detatch itself from the thief? They could make a seriously interesting story with this.

Narutards: TAJU KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU!!11One!!!oNe11!

Well, the examples I thought of were just thought of off the top of my head, without a single thought portrayed into them. I'm sure Nexon can EASILY work with this. I was thinking the thiefs shadow could be an alter ego, and sometimes maple can be childish, so he can take up a heroic figure and face his own problems and his self, ect blah blah blah drama persona.

Also, more food for thought. Is the pronounciation for Aran and Evan ''E-vawn / Ah-rawn''? Sounds sort of like ''Nex-awn''.

The last class in maple will be Nexon! It'll throw nx cash!

Magician Gaiden please be Artist/Bard
Pirate Gaiden please be Dancer
