Exclusive Hero for GMS?

Hands stat would be interesting to say the last, but that would leave out at least 1 pool of people with large amounts of % gear. (STR, i think?) Using all stats for their formula would be the best in that regard but messy at the same time for character design since they would probably have some balancing issues.

Hand stat was taken out with Big Bang. The few items that give x hands just add that amount to diligence, as long as you wear it.

You forgot the mage, Firebrand.

Oh right. Thanks for the correction. What about a wand only mage then XD or magic from hands or something(Like Skyrim...and almost every other RPG>.>)

Also: ITTeople don't read the dev blog and jump to conclusions..

I so hope you are wrong. If the masteria content that the current team can do is like this recent Masteria downgrade, then the new job can't be anything good.

Why can't people get over the fact the quest dialogue was obviously made for the lulz as it uses every cliche known to man. Again..more griping about something useless. If anyone can truthfully sit here and tell me they went to Masteria to train on something other then Jesters or sit there and admire the map work and not get annoyed as pomegranate with it is lying. And I want to point this out before anyone jumps on me, no I do miss the old maps, but it still doesn't excuse the fact they were annoying and just a chore to navigate. Only thing I miss is the old quests and forging the CWK items. All they have to do is make a map where bf and hh spawn and where crimson trees appear>.>

This is the reason why most people here are pissed off. Masteria was the one piece of content which had you guessing at what the next plot twist would be. It had a great storyline, and all of it was interesting. Masteria made reading fun, unlike some of the quests in the game. With this new update, there was no plot other than "ZOMG! ALIENS!!" At least, that's how I feel.

I respectfully disagree with you here as well. I, for one, did not train at Jesters. I always trained at Lower Ascent because of the combination of Crimson Wood, Windraider Badges, and EXP. Yes, it was slower, but I didn't go there for leveling. I went there for the enjoyment (and for the meso, don't get me wrong ). For me, if they brought back Lower Ascent UNCHANGED, I can live with that. The map with a whole mix of monsters, meh. Don't care. Wasn't my favorite map.

find someone who saved an old cwk map in their hyper rock
smega it or something
theyre still there

Why do you want Nexon to get into another story when we don't even know how further into the Black Mage's story we are right now? Like in anime, doing that would be like a filler arc, and we all hate fillers in anime right? Just look at all the people crying about Mikhail.

You want more Ancient Balrog? Then we just need Nexon to make a plot twist, like "One day, the Black Mage shows in front the Ancient Balrog sealed in SleepyDungeon and offers him the chance to be free once again as long as he swears to work for him as a general of his army, in replacement of Demon Slayer".

I remember part of the existing story having the balrog being one of the black mage's minions, and sealed in the temple, he is far from his true power.

It would also give an excuse to restore the fierce balrog to it's legendary pre-3rd job status.

Can't say I watch anime. Besides, you can't compare a game to a cartoon. You know what RPGs have? A main quest, with other quests with their very own storylines on the side. What's wrong with having something else to entertain yourself with?

Weird thing to say considering this game has a lot of anime elements. I accept your cooment about the side quests, but I'd still prefer to get more development into the main storyline than a short, half assed side quest that NexAm can develop.

No, something separate would be much nicer, because the Black Mage's storyline is just some generic Voldemort crap.

If it's generic, all the more for it to be developed further so it gets better or gets done sooner.

Those of you who think GMS is getting the Pirate Hero are out of their minds.

How?. That balance from last year showed GMS is doing worst than all MapleStory servers in Asia, and those were outdated numbers. We all know GMS is doing even worse right now, hence their desperatedd attempts to bring back / keep players with the lastest events. If GMS released the pirate hero a bit before KMS, all the attention KMS gets during their summer / winter updates would direct on GMS, bringing more players to them. If they hadn't announnced a thing, then I'd also think there's no chance it could happen, but they already did so, why not?-

But that's not the point. They're completely different genres. One is interactive, the other isn't. You can compare TV shows and books, books and movies, but not games and movies or games and TV shows.

I would say you can or else there wouldn't be so many Game Based movies. But anyway, the reason I brought anime into this is because they both share an element as it is a main story, and when any of them diverts from it, players tend not to like it. I've heard people drop the term "filler patch" many times, and it usually isn't referred as something they like.

If they were to expand on the Balrog story, I'd prefer they did it using the Balrog itself and not just another job and a few quests.

I would say you can or else there wouldn't be so many Game Based movies.

Because they stab the game to pieces and pull out a plot (see: Battleship). A single plotline (or multiple ones that later converge into a single one) drive movies, TV shows (speaking generally here), and novels. Sure, a main storyline drives RPGs, but most RPGs, MapleStory included in this category, have hundreds and hundreds of side-quests. If anything, I've seen Southperricans bemoaning the fact that there aren't enough interesting side-quests rather than the opposite.

Would be nice if it were an archer. Every one of the five major class branches have 4 classes except archers.

Ah yes, wild hunters. Forgot about them. Don't really care about this new hero then because I am sticking with my bucc. Don't feel like re-buying all my NX.

I would like an Orca class. She is my favorite character. BUT WILL NEXON DO IT? Nah...

Wild Hunter is Resistance. Archers still need a "3rd branch" in the Explorer region, similar to Dual Blade and Cannoneer for Thief and Pirate respectively.

Bowguns aren't too much of a stretch to imagine since Windraiders have had them for years, but how many other ways are there to use a bow and arrow? That's the textbook definition of archery, using a slingshot or blowgun or holding arrows between your fingers and slashing people with them aren't forms of archery.

Whereas pirates routinely wear heavy mechanized suits of armor?

I think slings, blowguns, or atlatl could all be acceptable weapons for a third branch of bowmen, in maplestory.

Ballistas. We need ballistas.

they use whatever they can find, i.e: mining robots
it follows that a town full of mining machinery is going to have mechanics either way

Let's just hope that whomever assigned aliens to give 3k exp has a hand in the new character's design. This way, we can make all the other version's players drool at our 5 second zakum runs from our new broken class.

How about a job that can use both Bows and XBows + have Merc arrows? That may be sweet.
