MapleStory Cygnus Returns & Inkwell’s Secret Diary – Striker Preparations Complete!

Striker Preparations Complete!

I feel completely reborn?!

This entry shows us the new (well… reorganized) Striker job! It seems that they might be using both water and electric skills? That seems sort of cool, haha. On the bottom you’ll see the logo for the Cygnus Returns update. I guess this is going to be our string of patches until the rest of the Knights are completed.

A small trailer was released, this time showing Cygnus’ awakening, after finding out that Shinshoo has died! I wonder if there’s a longer version of this…

  28. January 19, 2013 at 4:16 am

    I still hope they’ll eventually release Hawkeye, Eckhart, Irena, Oz, and Soul master/Dawn warrior too, and that there would some resolve on what will happen to UA’s and existing, LVL120 KoC’s. Also, the Empress Grace quest and the quest which gives ordinary Adventurers/Explorers the UA KoC skill…. Because it’ll be ridiculous if the efford given to it came in vain.

    • January 19, 2013 at 2:30 pm

      ProperFix, you may not realize it, but all the Cygnus are getting a cap bump to 200. Meaning that these guys are no longer gimp (or won’t be once everything this patch set has is said and done).

      In other words, we’re not getting Irena/Eckhart/Hawkeye/Oz in addition to Dawn Warrior – the Cygnus Knights will not become a second set of heroes. You can’t have your Tiger and you never will.

      Grow up, little child. Nexon is no longer the inferior creature you grew up with – although it still has to prove itself in other areas, it’s not going to crumble against your little “rebellion”.

      • January 20, 2013 at 7:59 am

        I know about level 200, there is just this bugging, little fact, that there is Mikhail already, as well as Ultimate Adventurers and existing, level 120 Knights of Cygnus. If these were made useless, there’ll be rage. And if there had to be only one Cygnus Captain as playable, the job table would be more incomplete than ever.

        There is oh so many Warriors, still no Nova Magician, Thief, and Archer, while Legendary heroes have two Magicians, no Pirate is there, the Special Explorers/Individuals for Pirate and Thief. Resistance is off the charts with weird incompleteness, as with two Warriors which aren’t available from the instructors, and are in same vein as Legendary Heroes or Individuals, not to start the talk about Thief Pirate Hybrid named Xenon. Really, original Knights of Cygnus were the most complete in the tables.

        More and more I read to your post, the more it seems you didn’t even read mine and more you are off-topic in these matters.

        Also, I find it funny that you, dear sir, are calling me a little child while linking to your FB account, not knowing a thing about me while handing out your personal information like cheap cigars.

        • Slenderman
          January 20, 2013 at 8:45 am

          Adventurer set: Complete/Possibly incomplete
          Warriors: Hero, Paladin, Dark Knight
          Magician: F/P, I/L, Bishop
          Bowman: Bow Master, Marksman, (Missing)
          Thief: Night Lord, Shadower, Dual Blade
          Pirate: Buccaneer, Corsair, Cannon Master

          The only thing incomplete about the adventurer set is a third branch for bowmen, but i bought there will ever be a third branch because how far away from bows can you get? we have bows, crossbows, and dual bowguns.

          Cygnus Set: Complete
          Warrior: Dawn Warrior
          Magician: Blaze Wizard
          Bowman: Wind Archer
          Thief: Night Walker
          Pirate: Thunder Breaker

          Legendary Heroes: Complete
          Warrior:Aran
          Magician 1: Evan
          Bowman: Mercedes
          Thief: Phantom
          Magician 2: Luminous

          This set was complete because there were only 5 people who sealed the Black mage, pirates weren’t around in this time period which is why there is no legendary pirate hero.

          Resistance Set: Complete
          Warrior: Demon Slayer/Avenger
          Magician: Battle Mage
          Bowman: Wild Hunter
          Thief: Xenon
          Pirate: Mechanic

          This is is complete because although Xenon is considered a thief and pirate hybrid, he is still the thief resistance because of his connection to Cluadine(the thief instructor). And Demon Slayer/Avenger is considered one class because the class name is called Demon now not two individual names. Demon Slayer and Demon Avenger are two separate versions of the same person; One during his path as a commander for the Black mage and one during his path for revenge.

          Cygnus Instructors Set: Incomplete
          Warrior: Mihile
          Magician: (Missing)
          Bowman: (Missing)
          Thief: (Missing)
          Pirate: (Missing)

          Nova Set: Incomplete
          Warrior: Kaiser
          Magician: (Missing)
          Bowman: (Missing)
          Thief: (Missing)
          Pirate: Angelic Buster

          Based on this theory, the only incomplete sets are Cygnus Instructors, nova and possibly adventurers. Although i’m not counting version exclusives like Jett, Kanna and Hayato, And Zen. Basically who cares if a set does have a full on Warrior, Magician, Bowman, Thief, Pirate set. the class variations just make the sets different from each other.

  34. Leaf Chucker
    January 19, 2013 at 11:04 am

    see how dawn warrior was “blown away” by the evolution process? I think that he was late and he didnt make it through into the magic circle that cygnus created. so he was blocked out. and the others evolved while he didnt. but that makes sense because there’s mihle.
    i see what you did there nexon.

      most likely you will be able to choose. The girl is just a character designed to promote the new revamp. The fact that she happens to be a girl is not important to the storyline or overall premise. She isn’t “The new Hawkeye” and she is not replacing him. She is just an ordinary cygnus knight,most likely nameless. sort of like the adventurers on the character creation screen you know?
