Inkwell’s Secret Diary – The Crossroads of Destiny

Path of Light | Path of Darkness

The irreversible crossroads of destiny! Choose carefully!

Hmmm… irreversible? Does this mean  you can only choose light or darkness for Luminous? That goes against everything we’ve seen in Tespia though… I don’t really get it.

However, there are a couple of Dark magic skills in first job in the data that do not appear in game, could this be why? Maybe Luminous will be able to use only one of these elements… or you’ll have to choose one that is more dominant? Only time will tell!

    Would these choices alter the storyline I wonder…

    Or does it just change the dominant skill?

      Yeah, interesting. I wonder if it will or not too.

  6. July 6, 2012 at 1:02 pm

    come to the dark side, we have cookies
    and i really hope you dont have to choose, than completely wrecks the whole dark/light/neutral gameplay

      come to the light side. we have more colors for lightsabers.

    I swear they’re making this patch up as they go.

    • July 6, 2012 at 1:06 pm

      dont they do that all the time? -____-

  8. July 6, 2012 at 1:03 pm

    I think you’ll be able to choose only one of the skills, the light side or dark side hahahah

    July 6, 2012 at 1:09 pm

    Huh, didn’t expect that.
    It would be quite a unique twist if there was a different plot for both sides, if it turns out you do choose. However, considering the fact that Luminous is a hero, I doubt two separate plots would be likely.
    Yay for typing my thoughts~

    Man, so Luminous is really some unique character. What are the Dark Skills in 1st job?

    hopefully they don’t make the player choice between dark an light. both elements have their pros an cons an only seem to function properly when used in unison. plus the constant changing phases from dark to light would make training fun imo instead of a spam marathon

    i dont think they will make us choose if we use light or dark skills cuz that wat so uniqe about luminous. if they make us choose equilibrium is nothing and the whole “moon” of light\darkness (the circle thats turn from light to dark and opposite) will be gone

  15. orikle
    July 6, 2012 at 1:55 pm

    I think this job has 2 storylines, and you can choose which!
    Any way, a job you can choose to be evil or good.
    WOW Nexon!!!!

    Yeeeeeeah, darkness all the way. That is pretty unique, though, making us choose which specific style to play a character…not unlike pre-BB Warriors *ahem*…

    darkest you will prob help the black mage light you go against the black mage and both of the story line prob end at level 100 were they both collide

    • Max

      Inkwell’s Secret Diary is something that Nexon Korea made a while ago, they post up small teasers of future updates there.

      Here’s a link to it: http://maplestory.nexon.com/MapleStory/Page/Gnx.aspx?URL=News/SecretDiaryBoard

        • Max
          July 8, 2012 at 11:02 am

          I heard some countries are IP banned from Nexon Korea, perhaps yours is one of them? :s

            July 8, 2012 at 3:18 pm

            Of course I am….haha(Look my ID)….. But are you Korean? If yes, can you tell me how can I link it?…If not, how can you link it?(I suddenly feel that the means are same..XD)

            July 8, 2012 at 5:41 pm

            I live in Canada, I guess we’re not banned.
            You could use some sort of IP changer (hot spot shield?) to make it work 🙂

    Maybe the dark/light choice won’t be exclusive to luminous? Maybe the 5th job advancement for all classes will be the choice between Light or Dark. Not likely but I can dream. If they want to make Big Bang look like nothing, they should do this.

    can’t imagine why they’d bother coding up a new gameplay mechanic and all just to throw it out. I’m more willing to think it’s a story thing rather than some restriction of gameplay.

    Maybe L’s 5th job does away with Equilibrium, and just has you choose which side of the Maple Force you want to join.

    Cool look the light and dark thing is always a cool display

    Maybe it won’t change luminous game mechanic. They’ll let you choose between two sets of job. darkness (magnus) light (luminous)

    I think they are making us choose between dark and light, because there will be a fight, like adventurers, resistance, heroes against the ones who pick dark, that’s an interesting feature coming out 😀

    Hey Max, is it ok if you put in the info about the new dark skills? Really egging for more darkness in Luminous gameplay.

    • Max
      July 8, 2012 at 11:03 am

      It’s just a Dark Magic Enhancement skill (literally the same as the Light Magic one except for Dark) and one attacking skill called Dark Falling. They’re both in first job.

    given the set of Darkness skills that haven’t actually been used yet, there may only be enough SP to fill one side and meet their later skills’ prerequisites

    Maybe the paths will give a different passive that favors either light or dark. I can’t see them making you choose, they would have to re-tool all the skills that rely on equilibrium, the whole concept of balance would be disrupted and honestly the class would have to be TOTALLY changed. It’s possible, but it seems like to radical of a change to restrict the class that much.

    You probably get more support for the element you take, rather than being completely restricted from it.
