Masteria Preview?

Hm. Just because Nexon is super-excited about this new content, doesn't mean I am.

Pretty sure it will have at least one major design flaw. Like the untrainable maps with the Visitors event, or the overcrowding at Cake vs. Pie 1, or the inherent imbalance of Cake vs. Pie 2 (real damage vs. fixed damage), or the entire Capture the Flag...

Remains to be seen whether after that flaw is patched somehow, we will have something enjoyable.

Maybe this will help for those who don't see it..

It looks like Lucky or Wise Visitor set, but the color placement seems off, could be a new set? Starting to look like a Zealot with that glowing arm (Psi Blade)

... cheap editing lol..

...Yeah, you are just paranoid. To begin with, it was the color what made you think of it, and now you admit it's off.

I meant it's off as in the top part of the "head" is Teal, however, the top part of the visitor helmet (the Teal parts) aren't in this shape. On the other hand, the position of the "eyes" seem to fit. The "armband" seems larger than on the actual set.

In the end, if I'm wrong, well okay then, I'll accept that. None of us know what it really is until Nexon gives us a clearer view anyways.

Were it any other "kiddie" game, I'd be surprised, but Maplestory's tone has always been almost mockingly kiddy.

MapleStory plays with a pretty dark aesthetic sometimes, but turning unarmed humans into skeletons is pretty extreme. Add that they're parents and the child is watching in horror?

That's too far. That's a lot worse than skeletal monsters shooting beams out of their mouths, or decrepit zombies breathing poison gas, or octopus eyes falling out when the monster dies.

I mean, I guess it's not actually part of the game, but still. The animator went a little too far there. Would've been nice if they had just shown the parents terrorized and shown the CITY destroyed. Or maybe if they wanted to play cutesy-dark with it, have the parents tombstones land and the parents become ghosts. Like what actually happens in the game when people "die".

Animation looked pretty good though. The scale was weird, but NPCs have always been out of scale with player characters, so I don't really give a crap. Probably should have cut out the game UI elements if they were going to use straight screencaps as backdrops though.

since this time this is a "trailer" or teaser maybe nexon gave instructions about what he had to do...

I mean if I remember fine he said he wanted to give a good message with almost each NLS episode and they were pretty light...

that could explain the lack of "good" backgrounds like the other episodes :f6:

This is confirmed for March 14th now, so we should get the next clue today, this weekend, or next week. I'm guessing next week cause of all of these clues.

weren't people speculating that the last clue could be released today?

I bet it's the yeti-sphinx.

Only landmark left as far as I remember. Unless you count the NLC mall.

Question is, what's going to happen with Professor Foxwit's cloud-crib?

Sure our latest Alliance Unbound video was a bit dark but there is something about this screenshot that is caption-worthy! Give us your best caption for this image and three selected answers will be quoted in our weekly summary, Maple Times!
