kMSt ver. 1.2.468 – New Level Cap & Level 150 Set!
For the first time in 10 years of MapleStory, the level cap will be increased on January 31, to level 250! This applies to all characters, except for the Knights of Cygnus who have not yet been reorganized (although once they are, they will also be able to reach 250).
The message also states that high levelled content will be coming soon! I’m excited about both of these things, it’s going to be interesting to see what they add! Maybe even 5th job? Although I’m really sad, I just hit level 199 and in one week the level cap will be raised to 250… lame.
The meso cap has also been increased, to 9,999,999,999 mesos. This will apply to your inventory, storage, trades between characters, private and hired shops, Fredrick, and the Owl of Minerva.
The creation for Knights of Cygnus has been renewed! You can now choose between male and female, each with their own unique hair (which you can choose any colour for, like Phantom). They also renewed the beginner outfit.
There were also a few changes to Striker.
Cygnus Bless: description now states the effect will be reduced when used as a Link Skill instead of having reduced effects when using more than one (when linked to another character, they will receive 2%/5% resistance to states and elements.
Annihilate: description now states the maximum number of hits is 7
Electric Charge: additional attacks’ damage has been reduced from 45% to 40%
The Chaos versions of the Seal Guardian bosses in Root Abyss have been released~ To be able to fight them, you must be over level 180 and have beaten the regular bosses 10 times. Chaos Pierre has 63 billion HP, Von Bon has 84 billion, Bloody Queen has 105 billion, and Vellum has 126 billion HP.
If you complete all the quests in Root Abyss, a new hunting ground for levels 180 and over will be available to you. You can access it by going to where Alicia used to be in the Colossal Root map.
‘
The level 150 Root Abyss set has been added into the data! Although I think it’s incomplete because some images are missing (mage hat, various weapons) and some are duplicates (warrior and bowman top).
The naming scheme is as follows. Class can be replaced with Warrior for warriors, Ranger for bowmen, Dunwitch for mages, Assassin for thieves, and Wanderer for pirates.
- Hats are called Highness (class) [40 main stat and sub stat, 2 attack and magic attack, 11 slots]
- Tops are called Eagle Eye (class) [30 main stat and sub stat, 2 attack and magic attack, 5% defense ignore, 7 slots]
- Bottoms are called Trickster (class) [30 main stat and sub stat, 2 attack and magic attack, 5% defense ignore, 7 slots]
- Weapons are called Fafnir (class) [10% defense ignore, 8 slots]
As you can see, the level 150 set consist only of 4 items, hats, tops, bottoms, and weapons. I guess it’s so it doesn’t overlap with the Tyrant set? And yeah, equipment with base ignore defense, haha. If you wish to see the weapon stats and pictures, you can check here.
The set effects are 30 of your main stat, 1500 HP and MP for 3 equips and 20 attack/magic attack and 40% boss damage for 4 equips.
Now to get a character to 200. LOL
Forgot to mention: The level 150 armor looks nice so far. I like the color.~
cheated to 3rd swag
4th
The mage lvl 150 set looks the same as the 140 set…. I was hoping for a new look…
at least the hat
That’s because it’s just a placeholder. Should be obvious enough by now.
hah im 3rd
cheated to 2nd
omg i hate you, i thought we were finally over that
Level Cap as of Jan 31 will be 250!? Maplestory is now going further to the verge of being SPLIT in half…well more likely in GMS case that is…
(cries in the inside)
How is it going to be “split?” This allows people to even bother continuing their mains/old mains. Once you hit 200, which is ridiculously easy nowadays, there is nothing left to do. This gives us the new content that a majority of players have been asking for a while now.
I’ve been playing GMS for 6 years, still can’t get 200
That’s pretty pathetic. My friend is a super noob who’s been playin for 6 months with a bishop, and power leveled herself with very little LHC to 200 just by that new Highschool that automatically gives you 20% just for giving 10 minutes of your time
Same yo!
YAY NO MORE STUPID FANGBLADE AT TOP RANK hate that ugly ass look of his
First
Fail~
yay
im spec
Lols i dont even have a lv200 yet
http://www.youtube.com/user/xlMavis/videos?flow=grid&view=0
More high level content? Yes, please.
Seventh
I wonder what will happen to Fangblade, starlightzzz, etc with this new level cap…
Goodbye Maple-history~
lol, the same thing that happened to tiger, erased from history.
NoOOoooOOooOoooOooooOo RIP orginals
lol there should be a seperate page for them on the nexon website
n besides, fangblade is an npc at perion
Maybe nexon’ll make the first couple lvl 200’s automatically lvl 250? Imagine if all lvl 200’s became lvl 250. Suddenly a lvl 199 has not ONE lvl left to go but 51!
true true
Tiger is in my ally/guild lol
Not like rankings are going to be updated anytime soon. There could be a lvl 250 within two days and no one will know until the news spread through forums.
why do you even think they care about them or history , new level cap means new challenge for level leader , if fangblade wants to stay first he can gear himself from now for the future content but i doubt any of them care or would bother to do that.
9,999,999,999 max mesos 😮
And to think I just got an Empress axe to be perfectly scrolled to see a lv 150 set.
-throws laptop-
But the level 150 set has been known of as coming for awhile now… unless you missed that post on here?
In any case.. I can’t help but think they could be looking here to get ideas some times. 250 cap I remember seeing here for the first time ever(not that I look much into people’s speculation), but.. I have to say, it’s a little disappointing to see the cap increase before we even get up-to-date equipment, ya know? Don’t get me wrong. I love the idea of it. But any other MMO out there now has equipment up to their level cap whenever they increase it. Why not this one? We could really use that..
I will say I’m glad to see a top and bottom again for once, however. They’ve been phoning things in since they made pirate outfits, and we still lack gender differentiation, but meh. This was an unexpected surprise.
Mixing sets also I find to be great. Can’t wait to see the fine tuning of all this info. Thank you very much, Max. :3
I don’t mean to be a party pooper on your hypothesis but I’ve been playing since beta 10 years ago (Off and on, mind you), and even during the time when there was a GM that would talk to us in game through smegas and respond to questions (MSJoe, we will miss you bro), people were requesting the level cap be raised to 250 once one of us reached 200.
I agree. The level cap increase allows for a plethora of more new high-leveled content. This may even inspire others to actually train to higher levels, other than simply hyper skills.
And this is why I don’t bother (perfectly) scrolling things
250……Nuuuu….This isn’t happening….THERES NO REASON FOR ME TO GO ON!
WHAT AM I FIGHTING FFFFFFFFFFFFOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Eh….now I need to figure who will be my main max level…Bishop of Buster….
You cant quit your bishop
Im her fan
😐
Really! This motivates me to get her to level 250 also,
This will keep me busy when that happens.
I’ll do the best I can to get PrincessNJ to 250 along with my buster
Zero much?
lol I love using that Zero line at times like this
Seems like Fangblade has to put on his tryhard pants if he wants to be #1 again, with all those lv 200 people now gathering parties to give them the most EXP to lv 250
…250?
I am so not bothering with Maple lol.
i love reading ur blogs and stuff most out of everyone cause ppl are so negative about evryhtign and complain “omg noo lvl cap raise” “omg nooo antoher new class omg op” and etc but ur so postitive about evrythign its awesome 😀
I’m with ya there. :3
Wait so does that mean our AP cap will go up? because at 200 we have max(999) of our main stat?
wow I didn’t think of that….. They better…
Prepare for the worst. Maple will be even more op soon enough…
5% defense (rate?) ignore is absolute shitfest with the new multiplicative formula
5% ignore = *0.95 = fail 😦
And that is the reason keeping old-timers like us playing on. Removing them is akin to, well, removing our identity, our soul and who we were. I don’t see a reason to continue Mapling if that happens. On to better games that deserve my money more.
What the hell are you talking about?
You actually like to stare at pictures of “characters?” They’ve done nothing for you.
Uh, seriously. History is just that: history. I don’t know why players insist on clinging to the past when the game tries to progress and move forward. Just because there is a new level cap coming to the game does not mean that the deeds of the old players will magically vanish, and I don’t know why people treat them like… well, like deities, basically. They’re players just like the rest of us, they just went above and beyond in a time when it was difficult to do so. And now it seems there will be a new generation of this. Is it going to have the same feeling? Well no, I highly doubt it, but even so, it’s still a new chapter.
Holy (bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep)
so 150 more ap for 250 seems legit
250*
nice math there bro.
I’m sorry if I missread something but… how can ppl get the lv 150 set?
Don’t know yet, possibly from the Chaos bosses…
Max, do you know yet if our current Cygnus knights will be able to go up to 250 also? or do we have to make new ones?
This makes 5th job advancement or a complete skill restructuring almost absolute.
YAY?
They should have done the level cap increase to 250 wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy long ago. And probably shouldn’t have made new jobs.. Could have easily used the new jobs that came out recently and made a 5th job for all the adventurers….. ohh Nexon..
Meso cap increase is great, but what did they do to the game to allow integers to go past 2 147 483 647? I highly doubt nexon made, or even has the knowledge to make, Maplestory 64-bit.
They’re not bashing rocks together over there. They know what they are doing. It’s a simple matter of it being to much work for something so insignificant.
Fine I’ll leave some faith in Nexon Korea, but Nexon America doesn’t even know how to bash rocks. I’m serious.
Nexon America is fine except for when it comes to making it’s own class. I mean it made nlc didn’t it?
they used a larger – sized integer variable type, which is not hard. jsut 8 years ago they didn’t imagine people would really reach 2.147b mesos. at least not naturally.
hey max is it true wind archer are next in line to get revamped an if so has there been any new on them
If there was any news on them, he’d be adding it here.
There’s this thing called patience, ya know.
If anything, I’d assume info on Wind Archers would come around the 31st when all these updates come up, if not sooner.
http://maplescammers.wordpress.com/
Uhhh, what is the site for?
List of scammers in maplestory
If they have 5th job, I wonder what would happen to Hyper Skills
To be able to access the level 180+ training area in Root Abyss, do you have to defeat all of the Chaos Seal Guardians in order to do so?
I want to know this too. If i have to guess basing off what Max said “If you complete all the quests in Root Abyss, a new hunting ground for levels 180 and over will be available to you” I assume you only need to beat normal and it is enough. It might be somewhat similar to GMS’s LHC quest line to go deeper into the castle.
I’m not sure, currently the quests we have don’t involve the Chaos bosses I believe… maybe they’ll add a new set after this patch comes out.
25- WHAT!! Guess I dun have to hesitate to lvl up then
Well about time they raised the level cap but 250 seems a bit er… low… I expecting 300 atleast ^.^ anyhow, the 150 set looks pretty sexy and I like the meso cap increase. The only thing im concerned is about Fangblade, Curryishot and Starlightzz How ever you spell them having their footprint in Maplestory removed. But overall Good patch in my opnion. They should make the job advancements like: 1st job lv 10 2nd Job lv 30, 3rd Job lv 50, 4th job lv 90 and 5th job Lv 150. Just my opnion.~
Sorry bro but you know >.> ……. I got a life. I dont want to grind all day just to get to level 200….
Level 250*
Curryishot isn’t on the rankings anymore. His “footprint” was already removed.
Those levels are way too… blegh. I mean… By the way youre putting it:
1st job-20 lv
2nd job- 20 lv
3rd- 40 lv
4th- 60 lv
5th- 100 lv.
The hell is up with this.
Just leave everything the same and let 5th begin at 170. Problem solved. This would coincide with each character’s 2nd big Hyper Skill, which seems reasonable, considering you get your big attack to start off a new job advancement (much like how LaTale characters receive a new big move once they advance to 3rd.).
In short, a new big move to start a new big job advancement.
Idc how badly you want 5th job, your lvls ain’t happening. They already changed the job lv requirements not too long ago anyways.
I agree, I find it better to be 300… Just to make a challenging…
challenging theme*
250 does sound quite arbitrary
(not that 200 wasn’t arbitrary
IIRC pre-BB req exp was based on 199->200 being the hard limit (2.1b) and each preceding req exp being 1.08 times less so at least there was some rationale there
I’d guess they thought no one could actually reach 200 so they started at the top and worked backwards
Now guessing from the title of the update “Unlimited¨ it would make sense if they 1) keep re-upping the lvl limit till they reach the 64-bit limit 2) remove the lev cap altogether and really do make it UNLIMITED or 3) go with their original logic and make the req exp towards the end incredibly high (close to the hard 64-bit limit)
I am guessing 1since both 2 and 3 are unrealistic with Cheaters infesting all versions of Maplestory incl. KMS, JMS and GMS 😦
True 😦
250 isn’t really that arbitrary, 255 (or 256 disallowing level 0) is the largest number that can fit in 1 byte.
You do know the exp needed to get from lv200-250 is around the same exp needed to get from lv1-200 TWICE? And 5th job is most likely going to be after lv170, if it was at 150 classes could not max more than 5 30 SP skills.
Must record this in the history book of Maple!!!! Top 5 now are gonna have hard time lvling because they are the orginal adventures
I thing they make the max number of hits of annihilate to 8, same as octopunch
Unless they increase the experience rates i’m done with Maple…
why?
just cuz you cant max level?
No, I’m just annoyed with the low exp rates. At higher lvs you have to grind days/weeks for 1 lv..
Then don’t grind. Actually try to boost your character. Mystic Fields event quests gave a stable 3% per quest completed, totaling over 20% a day for bossing.
Nah, if you take advantage of the 2x events and go to SH with a decent party you can level from level 199-200 in like 2hours. I used 199-200 because it requires the most exp to level currently
OR they can decrease the required experience
well no duh, its high levels. you epect it to be easy?
I don’t expect it to be easy, but it’s no fun playing if you are leveling so slowly…All i’m saying with raising the cap to 250, I HOPE nexon would do the sensible thing and raise the exp rates.
cant wait, 5th job sounds nice
When the max was 200 people complained about how easy it is when they moved it to 250 people quit I guess i’m the only one who loves a challenge people focus os hitting max damage to solo everything nowadays but not me i gather some of my weakest friends and go bossing it never gets boring
Agreed. It’s ridiculous how people complain about grinding.
probably not the same people…
people already 200 are most likely looking forward to some new end game content.
while anyone not 200 or close to are crying because they can’t even get to 200.
If this raising lvl cap thing is going to be happening and theoretically there will be a 5th job adv.. what do you think will happen to the hyper skills? would you think they be rearranged to be embedded into the 5th job adv?! I really dont see a reason for there to be hyper skills if there is going to be an added job advancement. I think if they do think about creating new ones they should make two more. One to start at lvl 170 – 220 and 220 – 250. That way they can give us awesome skills we can put a decent amount of sp into. As for the “6th” advancement it would be similar to the hyper skills having not as many sp needed, would perhaps be called “Legendary Skills”….. Hmmm… Just a thought lol…
Yes I agree. They should of at least thought of things before adding all the crap in….. Now that they raised the level cap they have to add new skills in there to not make people quit half way. It is pretty much a GUARANTEE that they will add the 5th job adv in… And now with the new hyper skills out, they have to delete them all again and make a new set for those 5th Job skill. They wasted so much time trying to make jobs balanced with other jobs (or OP them) by adding the hyper skills. It is gonna be a waste if they add the crap now… It wouldnt be a waste if Nexon does what the dude said above ^^^^^ making something for 5th job adv.
Why would they delete any of the hyper skills? Why would they change them? They can easily keep every hyper skill and maybe add a few more deleting them will just make it complicated and some people like their hyper skills. The only hard part about hyper skills is adding new skills that aren’t retarded which will be easy for classes like the hero’s since they have a main theme. I’m just hoping they make better hyper skill passives and STOP ADDING ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH ACCURACY AT ALL.
I dont think they should delete them. My idea would be to assign them into the “5th” job adv. Deleting pointless ones like accuracy like you mentioned and adding other useful skills. Then having “6th” job, as I mentioned, like something more similar to Hyper Skills that wouldnt require much sp for use.
It would be a waste to move them. Ide rather have the skills already max lvled and just get more hypers hopefully only useful ones. With a whole new set of skills that’ll make every class look brand new. Maybe bring back buccs transformation.
So hyper skills will stay from 140-200 at which point there’ll be 5th job! Just a way to convince others to grind from 100-200
Sigh… Nexon is making so many mistakes….. They give a revamp to Striker and with the new skills it is meant to be for level 200 but now they added the level 250 cap. They now have to change everything again…. They keep adding more and more and then have to change crap all over again…
Honestly…I question why they’re making this so inconvenient for themselves…
good point. If they know they are going to raise the level cap then why wait and make new classes in the mean time? makes no sense.
Clearly Nexon knows how to run an MMORPG (or a central bank for that matter
Players react differences betweentheir expectationof future policy and the actual announcements (which cause so much shock and awe)
Had Nexon made skills for Strikers mnot max at 200 (and theoretically max out at a higher lvl, like say 250) some smartass out there would publish this on his blog or tweet it and the initial shock of the announcement is mitigated
This does mean Nexon has to make contradictory updates at any given point, even if they could update more efficiently using their knowledge of future updates
although! there are some counterexamples: The shop NPC in Edelstein has always sold thief equips long before even the announcement of Xenon 😀
oh real life example of policy makers contradicting themselves: the Federal Reserve announced rates will remain zerobound until end-2015, only to renege later and change it to whenever unemployment falls below 6.5%. So yes, this sort of crap does happen IRL, on a muuuch larger scale -_-
“If you complete all the quests in Root Abyss, a new hunting ground for levels 180 and over will be available to you.”
Does this involve killing the Chaos bosses?
they shouldnt raise lvl cap its better to make items till lvl 200 and make black mage 210 so even on max lvl u will mis but to raise the cap is a bad idea to me
and raise the dmge cap ofc
Lol all you be seeing is “339205748”s in ranking. Hackers
What an interesting update O_O
What an interesting update O_O”..
I hope to see more high-level party play for lv200+ to train on and not continue PQing / MP / Evo World
pq is party play >.>
I meant Party-Play Maps like LHC / SH
did you actually read that carefully? o-o he said “and NOT continue pqing / MP / Evo world.”
If only nexon would remove the limit on the number of party quests a day and increase the complexity, duration and exp gain of a party quest. Maplestory would be a lot more social if we didn’t spend every minute killing the same monster over and over to hit level 200/250.
Yeah I miss how the dimensional schism used to require certain classes to complete
A mage and a thief I remember 😦
Also 133-221-333-123-111
i still wonder how the current cygnus knights will be turned into new KMST ones.. So do i lose my Empress Blessing 30?
For Strikers, all SP is reset. Empress Blessing stays. Almost every other skill has been replaced with these new skills.
For the other KoC, the same will happen to them as each revamp is released.
Those who miss maple history, why not try to play MapleSEA? And u will know how boring is it
Ok, That male hair is LAME, they better not make it so that every single new cygnus knight can only choose that hair… there should be 5 different hair styles for both male and female. The female hair up there is looking good though! Speaking of looking good, DAT LVL 50 GEAR!!! looks awesome! and this raising the lvl cap to 250 is BIG stuff for MS. Cant wait to see whats next!
Level Cap as of Jan 31 will be 250!? Maplestory is now going further to the verge of being SPLIT in half…well more likely in GMS case that is…
(cries in the inside)
This is like talking about the French Revolution. The reason people started to protest was because the gap between the rich and the poor was increasing like crazy. Now we have to start rebelling against Maplestory because the gap between the weak and strong is just being too…. unreasonable ever since they added the 50mil damage cap.
Even though in ms everyone can become strong while in your example the poor would always be poor. You don’t even need irl money to become “the strong” or pick a powerful class.
huh O.O
damn it…. monster will raise lv
I guess it’s going to be easier to hit the damage cap if they introduced 5th job. It makes sense because the large gap between lv 100- 250 would be so boring to grind. There has just got to be 5th jobs coming!
The reason there raising the level cap is because the players of the current maple isn’t strong enough to kill the Black Mage… Which btw I’ve always thought for the most evil character and main antagonist of the game.. That is such a plain name lol.. I mean come on there’s Ganondorf from Zelda, Ridley from Metroid, Sephiroth from FF7.. I can go on… Black mage should be a code name.. When they do release him as the hardest boss in the game and unveil his side of the story they should say his real name, which hopefully he has one.. And I wanna see his dam real form! Something like Envy from FMA real form, would be so amazing.. I got it! The Black Mage is winning the war.. Maple story world is crumbling… And the whole time the war has been going on.. The original characters “classes” have been training in secret.. And finally after a good amount of time has past they all mastered new more powerful skills over ranking every other class.. A reorganizational revamp overload!!! Ahh.. I should make games…. Lol
More like
Black Mage: the father
Magnus: wrath
Suu: pride
Hilla:lust
Van Leon: envy
Demon slayer: greed
That weird rock thing: sloth
One other person who eats a lot: gluttony
pink bean
Pink Bean isn’t a Black Mage Commander. Also, I think Orchid should be Pride, not Suu. Suu should be sloth and maybe Guwaru (“that weird rock thing”) is Gluttony, idk enough about him yet.
pink bean : gluttony
switch magnus and van leon. Magnus was jealous of kaisers power so envy for him. Van leon is a beast, so wrath works
I approve
No. No you shouldn’t.
good point! i mean he must have a real name. He was born mortal in Edelstein right!?
Very interesting; the “Black Mage was born in Edelstein” description is only found in GMS patch notes…
If he really was born in Edelstein then like all other inhabitants there, he would have a German name. A German bad guy “taking over an entire continent” in a sea of fire probably won’t sit too well in EMS XP
Yeah the only descriptions I could find in-game were: Created Magatia from barren desert, hosted Aurora there (towards the end of Luminous quest the second master of Aurora mentions the Black Mage being born in his room in Aurora, which happens to still exist underneath Magatia), squatted in the Temple of Time and contributed to the carving out of Victoria Island from the rest of Ossyrian continent (hence the known Ossyria is a crescent shape)
Also the Black Wings design eerily reminded me of the Nazi eagle above swatzikas 😦
Also on an unrelated note: (male) Luminous has a girlfriend (Lania) yet all male characters in JMS have default girlfriends named Sheryl (from the original Silent Crusade storyline). Is Luminous cheating on his gf? 0.o
That would’ve been another motivation to me to kick his ass !
yes time to over take rank 1 in legend if they even allowed that
lol time to quit maplestory …. failure
Will leveling to 200 be made easier? Because I don’t even have a 160 yet…
Finally, the new video about 6th job advancement will be made soon.
Who said there will be “6th” job adv.? The “6th” adv is just what people believes Nexon might do but the thing is that we didnt even receive 5th yet so why ask for 6th?
Yup, good news! Not for the already 200, I assume..
What bothers me now, that both GMS and EMS get botched Luminous :< Their mistake, people would want both storylines, and need to have two slots, and that could have meant more money for them! I really wanted to look to both storylines of Lumi….
OMFG they raised the lvl cap D: for some reason the entire game’s ruined now, better quit ms…Ya know if people are really gonna react this way to simple updates then I think its best that they do quit, less dumbass’s to deal with…
Why…..
Why are people so quick to jump onto 5th job? What are they going to do, make 32 lines of hurricane and the return of spamable ultimates? I think 2-3 more active Hypers and being able to max all passive hypers is WAY more likely.
What else would be the point of raising the level cap? Skills are maxed by 180. Your main stat would already by 999. There are no equips even close to 200.
Name some other reason besides 5th job that they would raise the cap.
If they were going to give more Hyper Skills, they should’ve just changed at what levels you get which points.
you know, back in the days (like 2007) when there were no FOURTH jobs, I used to daydream about strafe shooting more shots. I was like “Man wouldn’t it be awesome if strafe shot EIGHT times? Call it double strafe or something”
Fast forward six years, strafe DOES shoot eight times. So the lesson here is, if you’re joking about 32-shot hurricanes now, who knows? Might happen in a few years
Just remember: Even if you do get everything you wished for, chances are it’s not that great.
Simple answer. Will you play from level 100-250 without any thing extra between. If yes, then i dont know what to say about you but i am sure that 99.99% of the people would love something between level 100-250. This is why many people would start talking about “5th Job”
Fuck off! Lvl250.
Isn’t 1050 billion HP
1 trillion? o-o
I dont see the point of making such a OP boss….. What is the point of that boss if more than 90% of the people, whom are not very funded, can’t fight it?
Thats the point.. more or less, there are many funded people, and they need some high level content with a challenge..
Ooops, it should be 105 billion, along with the rest of them also having an extra 0. MY BAD 😦
new level cap= more new bosses(with higher hp)= take more time to take down a boss
After reading the comments this Is what I came up with why not make a revamp for every explorer and release a bowman sub class to balance the explorer classes (after they released the blackmage) and that they were training in secret to perfect and make new skills while the heroes were awakening and while everyone else is looking for the blackmage the revamp gives explorers a 5th job and make their skills 10x stronger than all the other classes mixed together and new hyperskills
And then the cycle repeats off people complaining of OP classes?No.
Nope, not happening…. I believe the reason Nexon might be making Explorers the weakest because of the “shared Nx Storage”. They are the only jobs that can share NX equips as much as they want. By making them the weakest the, people would either choose the non-explorers and buy NX on them, which they then can’t transfer between characters, or just just accept it and play explorers because they want the “NX equips Transfer”. This is the only reason i can see why all explorers are pretty much at the bottom.
I have no idea whar GMS is like but here in JMS all jobs have shared NX storage 0.o
They used to limit NX storage sharing for like 3 months after a new job was released, for Cygnus Knights, Aran and Evan but seems to have abolished that policy since Mercedes
Unfortunately, GMS does not have that luxury. L> JMS change to GMS 😦
how bout this….. just add more skills to 4th job
Too complicated
How? Adding 5th Job will be just as complicated so why does it matter if they just continue adding skills in fourth Job?
I wish we could go back to where there was no 4th job

Wow very nice pictures & content also. i like your website its cool. great.
yea ive been playing since beta, i got my mark of beta to prove it, and im not even lvl 200 yet lol. 192 NL ign is Exroller in gms. currently banned till feb 10 for being in a party with a hacker at HoH. i didnt even know he was hacking until it was to late and i saw him vacking items, then like 3 secs later our intire party got banned, i think. lol or it just might have been me xD
Dam you played longer than me XD. And here i thought i was one of the old maplers left >.>
BTW: i started around like patch version .3x~ or .4x and i didnt actually stayed with one character until like patch .6x
lololololololol~~~
This doesn’t relly bother me this much, I got my main to 200 and about that I’m sad.
But it’s okay really, like I’ll be playing the new classes when they come out and maybe I’ll be able to get one of those classes to level 250? 😀
Also Max
Get to level 200 before the update. You can do this man.
I have all the faith in you
Hehehe, guess what?
From Level 249 to Level 250 is around the DOUBLE amount of exp from 1 TO 200!
😀 Talk about a challange!
I think that nexon will extremely buff all the adventurers just like they did the cygnus knights. Maplestory is currently at a turning point and I hope that one day, every single class will be extremely powerful and overpowered to a 2012 observer yet balanced at the same time!
I hope Echo and the 200 Hyper will stay 200…
Guys, if the other classes get 5th job, that may mean Evan gets 11th (and maybe 12th) growth, so maybe Evan will FINALLY have a max level mount like everyone else. I hope Mir gets huge. And that Afrien magically enhances your saddle to 4th Stage Dragon Saddle to fit Mir’s new size for free, since Ryko (level 200 Aran Mount) and Red Draco (lv 200 adventurer mount) were upgraded from the previous mount for free (I think) Also, I hope there’s more elemental variety in 11th growth, because its lacking from 6th growth to 10th growth.
so Max, strikers can get to 200 or 250 now?
250
why does cygnus look stoned
‘Cause power, even when it’s not full, can get you baked.
“They tried stoning me Anonymous… it did not work.”
~_~ man its official… phuck this game!!
its bad enough for the average player like myself can barely make it past levels 130+
without getting sick and tired of mindlessly struggling on grinding to the top of lvl200
Now we get 50+ more levels for all you hackers and NX hoes spending shet loads of money and time on getting the best shet weapons and equips
This is madness!!
Man fuck this game.
I hope we fixed the EXP curve thats all i got to hope for, cus they aint no good ways to LVL LIKE MAD, unless you stock up on MonsterPQ tickets, HIT 180 then
MORE MINDLESS GRINDING TO WAS MAX LVL 200!!
ITS MADNESS!!!
Hell yall they oughta call this patch
Maplestory: ShitPoo
oh boohoo, you think trainings bad now you should have played maple several years ago then you’d have a reason to complain, with places like lhc and sh at least for gms trainings not that bad, hell a basic unfunded person with a moderate character can get to 120 in several days if they know where to train, but seriously now why is the maple community so bipolar? First everyone wants the level cap to be raised, now its being raised and people are bitching, people want it to be harder to get to the max level, now their bitching because its gonna be hard to get to the new max level -_- Oh and newsflash its an RPG, they all involve mindless grinding…
im pretty sure its different people complaining
second this; people do tend to contradict themselves in the long run. e.g. “Oh this new class is so OP it should be nerfed” -> “Why did they nerf my char I started it cuz it was so OP”
you could argue someone w/ that kinda downer view on life is depressed and irratable, or theyre schizo cuz theyre logic breaks down constantly, but i wouldnt call that polarization. people who want to complain tend to be much louder than those who are satisfied and support the move, e.g. gun control. people on the fringes of the spectrum of opinions (like alex jones) tend to be loudest, but that dost not mean the general public is “polarized”
Moronic.. 90 took a year before Big Bang, 120 is like a casual three or four days now- very casual.
On Topic: In all the years I’ve played this game, and with all the awesome new stuff I’ve been seeing.. this cap increase and promise of higher leveled content has me checking for updates Constantly. >x3 Can’t wait to see more on this~~ thank you Max for all the continued updates and information. :3 No matter who complains about stupid crap, the majority of us can’t wait for more and certainly appreciate your hard work. nwn
It took 15 and a half hours for the first Kaiser to reach 200 in JMS, less than 10 hours for first Angelic Burster
I would argue 120 is like a casual saturday
Casual doesn’t spend any cash~
Nexon is a company. They want your money. The game is geared towards getting you to pay. They will NEVER give you the chance to be as good as someone who’s payed if you haven’t. So, in all seriousness, if you’re not paying, you’re just playing the sample version. I personally played for a good few years (started before big bang, took me 2 years to get to 100, and I kept tracking updates until now, level 183) and I realized this as soon as miracle cubes emerged. Unfortunately, I don’t think it will ever take steps away from the company scheme, it’s too successful now. I still play, I just won’t ever get up to max level, and I accept that. It doesn’t make cutting into a mob with a nice group skill any less satisfying, even if it takes 5 or 6 hits to finish the job. But then again, I’ve never really cared about damage.
If you’d like a change of pace to something more complex and party/skill-buildy, I suggest +Guild Wars 2+. You pay about $66 for it once and then it’s yours forever. Just don’t attack champions by yourself.
i feel your pain bro
in fact i just enjoy Maple anymore with all these new crap they keep on coming out
its just too much.
simply just play which content you like and feel its worth your time.
for all good honesty i can’t stand playing Maple with other people in it, like bossing or lhc or whatever cus pretty much every stranger you come across are complete total selfish dicks
my humble suggestion for you is to think about your valuable time off maple instead of worrying about catching up to the rest of the losers who play Maple seemingly like 24/7 with sole intent to max level and max damage for the purposes of stroking thier ego
And thats how its been every other online game out there. Ego stroking.
for you i say, FUCK EVERYONE ELSE, and just play FOR YOU OWN PLEASURE and whatever Time you are willing to spend, and fuck every thing else in it.
I can’t wait for the next Hybrid Classes! I wonder what is next? Im guessing like a GunBlader that is Warrior + Pirate or a Necromancer that is Warrior + Mage. 😛
ilike both those ideas! how about gun mage(ffX-2)? mage and pirate!?
Or a nephilim.Warrior+pirate.uses swords and guns in seamless combos
*shameless ripoff from dmc*
Not just the bowman and warrior top, also the thief and warrior bottoms are the same.
They should make new skills for all classes but they all require skill books
I seriously am up for this update 😀 !!! Hope they release the 3rd Explorer Bowman after Cygnus Returns, hope it’s name is Bounty Hunter :p
>Jett
Screw Jett, 3rd explorer bowman branch ftw
I wonder if previous KoC’s will get to keep their old Noblesse set? o:
That’d be pretty cool.
I hope so too. I like the old set better. New set just looks a bit…I don’t know…boyish & wild? but that could be just me. I know some people who hate the old set for some reason. The old one is simpler but looks more dignified IMO.
I hope the max base stat limit gets increased. I don’t wanna add 250 extra SP into my secondary stat >.<
They still need a level 150 glove.
max~ do shadower’s hyperskill flip a coin has cooldown duration?
So how’d they manage to bring the meso cap to 9,999,999,999? Considering MS is a 32-bit game the max would be 2,147,483,647.
Well, it’s 64-bit now. #200comment
don’t think its 64-bit yet.. They some how managed to pass it..how I don’t know.
I think “32-bit game” meant how much the processor on your computer work, not “32-bit” for storing data.
is this true @_@
Well there’s a rage symbol for the fire mage…. so probably not???
It’s easy to make thing like this, all symbols are copied from their old skills.
I guess they will release job 5 in several months, not now, I even don’t have hyper skill 😦
I think it involves completing the Alice quests. “Kill the guardians thing”.
The Chaos Bosses are probably just for the Pro equips.
hope they lower the exp curve a bit lol
I can see it now 1-200 is the new 1-150
Exact number.
Level 1 -> 200 totals to 19,280,340,010 EXP
Level 249 -> 250 alone is 38,352,614,475
Leveling from 200 to 250 is the equivalent of leveling from 1 to 200… 33 times.
640,779,078,239 exp from 200 to 250.
660,059,418,249 total exp, from 1 to 250.
Not if they had content for exp X 33 times for 200+
Hmm anyone else thing think there should be no limit to levels? Unlimited
Can you be more pathetic plx lol , not as maple the first game to raise level game which leads into new level ranking.
Many idiots in this world , you can gtfo not as maple need you lol.
Ye, the Red leaf High school. Only came twice. Exclusive content, gives a poop ton of EXP.
Please tell me, how did aria live again when she died in Phantoms present.
