kMSt ver. 1.2.429 – Magician Reorganization!
A new patch was released in Tespia, changing around the adventurer magician classes’ skills! (in reality they’re just number changes) There are also hints of the return of PvP as well as a couple of other new things, read on~

After the Legend classes are restricted again, this is what the character creation screen will look like!
New UI has been added in the data for Super Fight! Does this mean the waited revamp is coming soon? There will be a new mode called Hardcore!
Also, I think that the Grade (Rank in GMS I believe)stat will actually do something now, as it has received its own ‘level up’ animation, just like Honor from Aswan.

cheated to second
Cheated to 3rd… I have no life
4th.
WHEN THE HELL WILL THEY STOP WITH THE DAMN ENDLESS CYCLE OF REVAMPS AND NEW CLASSES?
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
without revamps people will get bored with the game. If people get bored, people stop playing; which doesn’t make nexon any money. Also, when you wait for revamps, you keep playing the game, which in turn will hopefully make money for nexon
lol what do you mean when will they stop? thats like asking apple when will they stop making iphones and the verdict is never because people like new stuff it gets them interested again. btw big bang doesnt need an increase in dmg/dot it needs that charge removed. the charge that skill has makes that skill useless in boss battles and training
oh and they also need to change the demon skills to knock back attacks so as to send mobs far away from you that is much needed along with the removal of the charge for big bang
Stole 3rd =ppppp
Stole 3rd
First!
#fail. Second lol
Nice update! Can’t wait for this! Mages are my fav class 🙂
aran/evan will be limited now?
Yep,
i like boobs
That’s nice. Man, Magicians are getting a lot of reorganizations…
Max, what are your speculations about the hardcore more of super fight? Not able to use skills? More obstacles?
And here I thought I was gonna use OZ as a class.
Heyy, im a Maple-er in the U.S (NY PRIDE WOOHOO :D) and i would like to know when legends will be back, or even avaible? :3 Im desperate for a Mercedes. Please respond or comment if you know ANYTHING 🙂 PLease and thanks, have fun mapling 🙂
If you are referring to Legends as a class on gMS, you can make one now. One per account.
Read about it in one of the event pages on the website.
Nothing for BattleMage D:
BaMs are one of the few balanced classes in the game.
Max,can you translate the changes of Arcane Aim and Infinity?It seems their skill description got changed.ty~
Lack of Evan nerfs is quite disappointing. Also kinda funny that F/Ps now absolutely destroy I/Ls no matter what. The balance that was there before is lost. Oh well, Nexon will be Nexon.
I/L are superior at mobbing and deal more hits per second. With a lot of funding, I/L can surpass F/Ps, just not as much as they used to. F/Ps were fairly underpowered compared to I/L up until now.
You have to keep in mind that Evans, as the current patch of GMS are 2.5x stronger than normal mages. The last patch made i/ls buffed up to almost their par, however f/ps got the shortest end of that patch.
F/ps deserve this patch, more than any other mages. Bishops too. Now explorer mages are almost up to par (if not already) with Evans.
Yeah, I agree to both of these replies of how F/P are still underpowered. I/L will still be the stronger one, unless they balance them even more.
Just my two cents, but when I envision a “Hero/Legend” class, I would imagine that they became “Heroic/Legendary” because of their strength. That being said, it seems natural that classes such as Evan, Mercedes, Aran, etc. should be stronger than average Explorers and Resistance. Granted, they should be harder to level, but I don’t think it seems right to argue about them being stronger.
Wow, nice observation man. This might be a good meaning why Mercedes, Aran, Evan and other legends are now seemingly stronger than before, and from others.
Story is unimportant in MMOs while balance is one of the most important aspects to MMOs. There is no justification for any class being superior, at everything, to another class. Plus, if you wanted story to really become important enough to make certain classes stronger, then there should only be one of each hero per server. After all, it doesn’t make sense story-wise to have a dozen Mercedes running around in the same map.
I thought the exact same thing when they first released Aran 2 years ago. “If Aran himself is the Warrior legend, why are there literally thousands of him?” I suppose that’s one flaw in the overall scheme of the Maple Story, but it would be pointless to create a class and only allow one person per server to even play it. In order to pull that off, the person would have to be an employ of Nexon and be online. You simply can’t trust kids to fulfill the role of being a Legend and being on all of the time.
I agree that balance is an important aspect in a game, but Maplestory seems to be launching their story pretty high up there at the moment. If it were harder to create/ level a Legend/Hero character, then I believe their system would have improved tremendously; however, it’s a little late to do that now.
I missed those days when the Heroes were stronger 😦

Not saying F/Ps don’t deserve the patch. Just saying the buff for F/Ps compared to I/Ls is overkill. Especially since Paralyze now hits the same percentage as CL and has DoT, while CL is only 30ms faster to cast than Paralyze. I would’ve been much happier to see Evans get nerfed.
I don’t see what makes all you tards think every class is supposed to be just as strong as each other
I don’t see why people like you feel it’s great to have a game that’s totally off-balance. You have to draw a line somewhere.
Max,
what about the change in the monster hp bar that was stated in the patch notes?
Basically in the HP bar, the damage you do will be shown as red and it will slowly fade away leaving just green (remaining HP).
Probably a hint at Oz coming out soon. Who knows?
I dont see how the current mages are buffed to anywhere close to having even half the damage of an evan
meanwhile in maplesea, cannon shooter isn’t even out yet. FUUUUUUUUUUUU
Lol bishops are a support class you idiot. They don’t need to have good damage
No offence, but… That was waaaay before big bang. Now we fight alongside every other class, and occasionally heal and resurrect. That’s why bishops rule! Not damage-wise of course, but I think bishops are one of the most original characters, gameplay-wise.
So the fuck what. bishops are still considered a support class so they don’t need to be on par with the other classes dmg wise
wtf makes you think with the newest revamp bishops are on par lmao
Idea: Increase the number of targets that CL hits from 5 to 8 to match (almost) everyone else.
Meybe instead of increasing the strength of weak classes they should start decreasing the strength of the over-powered classes?
Hey! There’s a thought. 😀
Seriously, there’s no sense in doing nearly 1million damage in any game. I think the game would be more fun if characters did less damage and they monsters had slightly less HP.
If I had it my way, monsters would give more EXP but even a really strong player would take about 3~4 hits to kill them. It would make things more fun in my opinion if everything wasn’t 1 hit killed that you trained on. Lion Heart Castle seems like a good idea, but I would create other areas with HP that’s around 500k~2mil. That seems about right to me.
Keep in mind that the values I’ve put out there are in my imaginary lower damage world. 🙂
oh wow F/P mages basically have Chain Lightning now, look at the hits and % dmg of paralyze.
love how every class is so original now days.. naaat. fk nexon.
So next month June 11th. Archer reorginisation… im praying this is the patch that finally rights all the wrongs that have happened to bowmasters…
Archer reorganization is coming next, they already put some equipment that fits the Strong Warrior Ring/Wise Magician Ring that are used for this event.
lol AR hits increased, DAMAGE NERFED DAMMIT NEXON
Damage is actually better, and it’ll go now to 1500% for all 4 hits. How’s that bad? And higher chance for passive skills to work and such as well.
hmmm i feel a breeze…
hopefully this pvp is great.
There always was that Grade Up! Animation for when your rank had leveled.
Oh seriously? I’ve never seen it, ever o_o
YES! Make bishops stronger and lower the GEN time limit and I hope PVP becomes active again for KMS thanks for the updates I cant wait to see more
I wonder if Nexon’s next step will be to lower Dark Fog’s cooldown to 10 seconds? o.O
Of course, they’re probably just tying up the loose end of it already being at 20 seconds, but I wouldn’t put it past them. At the rate all the other skills magicians have are growing, it doesn’t seem impossible that we’ll be seeing spammable “ultimates” again. After all, they aren’t really that ultimate anymore.
I’m not sure if this is a good idea or not though. If they do become spammable, I would lower their damage by a good 200 or 300%.
I missed the old days where you can spam Genesis…
another revamp again
Its not a revamp!
o wait a grade up
First warriors got buffed some weeks/months ago, and now mages…
Remember JUMP? There it was also in this order. Warriors -> Mages -> Bowmen
So I guess we can expect an archer buff for the next weeks/months
Hs gets nerfed? 😮
HS is not getting nerfed -.-
Oh really? People in Basil have been ranting it for months. @.@
HAY GUYS HS IS GETTING NERFED ONLY 1 PERSON (THE USER) COULD USE IT AND IT DECREASED TO 120%
.

/sarcasm
No need to be nastay… ._.
Let the people in basil spread their rumors all they want, HS isnt getting nerfed -.-
There’s other ways of getting people’s interest in the game, other than revamps and new jobs, such as new towns and more interesting and original events. And that’s the problem, Nexon only cares about money, and not the satisfaction of their players.
There’s other ways of getting people’s interest in the game, other than revamps and new jobs, such as new towns and more interesting and original events. Also, there’s more people complaining of the revamps, new jobs, and lack of originality than those approving of it.
Aww…now I’m sad…BaMs are the only mages they didn’t revamp…nexon! Why u hate us so much? You know we are weak! We don’t wanna be just support y’know! We wannabe front lines too!
Very nice.
I gotta admit you’re doing much better at blogging than I.
Max is the best on the market at the moment and he is doing a fantastic job, but don’t cut yourself short Mr.Spadow. You will forever remain the best Maple blogger to have ever typed in my book.
than me?
It seems like all the patches lately are just reorganizations lol
Nastay? What?
