MapleStory 2 – Heavy Gunner & kMST ver. 1.2.506 – Deletion Standby!
Another class for MapleStory 2 has been released, the Heavy Gunner! This is one of two ‘archer’ classes, although it doesn’t really look like one… Anyways, I have the translation after the cut!
Carrying their heavy artillery weapons called Cannons, they are outlaws of the battlefield and destroy everything with a casual look on their faces. Even with their natural strength, dexterity, and powerful weapon, they are hard to work with. Their unpredictable and eccentric natures mean never-ending problems with these brats.
——————
The Heavy Gunner is from the ‘Talisker’ area in Kerning City, where they work as hired mercenaries for scientists. Many of them used to be regular, hot-blooded people in Maple World. These scientists provided them superior weapons so they could become stronger but due to their free-spirited nature, the group mentality was weak. Now, many Heavy Gunners are running rampant all over the world, showing off their power.
The character deletion standby feature has been added. Now, when you wish to delete a character, they will be put into standby mode for 24 hours, after which you can actually delete the character. If for any reason, you do not wish to delete the character anymore, you can cancel it at any time.
This only applies to characters level 31 or higher, any lower and you can instantly delete the character. While in standby mode, the character card and Link Skill effects will apply but you cannot play on that character.

Cheating my way to second.
Matt, I think they ALREADY [i]did[/i] Rangers. They talked about the Rangers being part of a band of robbers (eg Robin Hood’s Merry Men) stationed in Henesys, rumored to have secret ties to the throne of Empress Ereve. (eg Robin hood [?]), they steal from the corrupt nobles and give to the peasants (eg Robin Hood [duh!])
yeah my bad LOL
Oh, have you noticed that they haven’t teased, announced, or STARTED the big summer update yet? they should have gotten to the open beta/tespia by now at least. This worries me. They’d CERTAINLY start putting 5th job skills in the inkwell’s diary if they were close. It’s been a year since they teased it, and 8 months since the last of the content that it was teased alongsied was released. They’re not designing a full GAME. Just a set of skills. I mean, they basically added the same amount of content for 30% of the classes in red, and they release (what should be) 4 times the content for each character (so 4x 1/40 the content, is 4/40, so they do 10% of that work every class they make) Seriously, stop reworking all these systems, we NEED ALL of these updates to come WITH 5th job in a summer/winter update, to create an update that TRULY makes big bang “just the beggining”! Tempest was a HUGE let down! What about that makes it seem like you had just been getting STARTED when big bang happened? Even Unlimited would have been more approprite for “big bang is just the beginning” And unlimited is a stupid name for an update that LIMITS who can do EXISTING content. You can’t justify raising the cap by 50x, and buffing EXISTING bosses to scale to the new cap, WITHOUT a sufficient increase to the ACTUAL power of existing characters! That is UNNACEPTABLE! If the boss’s hp is 25x as much, and the CAP is 50x, then we SHOULD have at LEAST 5x the dps!
What does the cap change, really, if the EXISTING bosses are scaled to them, WITHOUT having WAYY better loot? It doesnt DO anything for the players, other than making them fund their characters 50x as much just to get where they were BEFORE the update. 50m is too high, if you raised it to a factor of 5, like in big bang, it would be slightly less ludicrous, but even in big bang, the players’ power was all boosted to where they were MORE than acceptable. Potential had been released recently, and ALL the classes and damage formulas had MAJOR boosts. Who would be HAPPY about suddenly needing 50x the money JUST to get back where i was?
I mean, all you have to do is undo (or significantly reduce) the damage cap and boss hp increases, (and the hyper skill damage cap removal/boosts)
You’re not taking into consideration the fact that this, IS a company… Following a set rule, most companies release a product when they’ve studied and have enough information to know they’ll be reaping in the most profits from their highest margin of consumers.
Maplestory has bonds and has stockholders like any other company in the industry, and it’s lost quite a lot of revenue in North America. Which to be honest was already quite low in comparison to their other main branches in Southeastern Asia.They’ve probably studied this in an innumerable amount of ways, taking into consideration the free to play aspect of the game, they still continue to lose a lot of revenue in comparison to other companies, mostly by horrible updates that offer little benefits to the majority of it’s base of loyal players. This in turn makes them unhappy and leads to them abandoning the game.
Added with a horribly implemented Cash Shop which offers boosts in competitive goods at the cost of real money, is turning this game into quite the enigma for their corporate needs. Do they continue adding content that will keep the players that fund the game happy? Or, Do they create content that can sever the gap between the common player and those that invest a lot of money into the game?… You can probably guess which answer they’ll follow.
NONETHELESS, Nexon has taken quite the period to invest into planning their next strategic update. They announced a fifth advancement would be implemented and they raised the cap for levels, which proves they will be true to their words. However, when they’ll be doing this is up for speculation. Remember all of these things cost money to the company. They’ll probably be trying to let the hype build up or simmer down, before they bring about such a large update.
Which mind you, not only includes the Explorers but all of their almost 40 existing jobs. Those who have storyline need to be planned, well thought out and meshed, as well as quests need to be made, equipment, animation, art, skills etc.
TL;DR: MONEY! Until they see a large enough reap in profits from their last content they won’t be releasing new ones that would go to waste.
That actually explains why this entire year has been pretty much event after event.
Maybe the only people who play currently are the people who spend way too much on the game, but it doesn’t have to be that way. If they took the time to implement fun content for everyone, and not just rehashed events (i.e. coin shops) or pay2win content, I’m sure many people would still be playing.
Yeah it doesn’t look like there is going to be a Summer update, much less 5th job.
The standby mode is certainly a great way to combat people getting hacked and their chars deleted.
When are we gonna see part two of the MS2 gameplay, lol

Oopsie, delete this reply Max! Pegged it tot he wrong person. ❤
first
Death machine deployed
I think I’ll be trying out all these classes when the game releases in NA
Hey max. Could you please send me an email? I would like to discuss with you about promoting your page.
But Max, didn’t they show the ranger already??
Maybe Max meant crossbowman, although I think the rangers might have have that as an option in addition to the bow.
Yeah, I completely forgot LOL
Is there a way to pm you?
Ranger was already revealed!
Dem thighs though.
Give big guns to hotblooded allies of justice who wreck everything.
Because science.
The Heavy Gunner looks so much like Disgaea’s female Thief and I love it 😀
Huh… that WILL be weird.
Gunner and bowman in one game, one place… it’s like knight and marine soldier fighting with each other. xD
Wait, Heavy Gunners are from Kerning…? Aren’t they “archers” too?
Girl?….. hit me baby one more time.
wonder king wonder king wonder king wonder king
“Deletion Standby!” made me think they were prepping to delete KMS. lol
okay if you look very closely in the eyes you can see 2 hearts in each eye.
I think the Archer and Heavy Gunner have to be the “Ranger” classes
Noob
I damn noob someone can help me?
Can you translate: http://maplestory2.nexon.com/post/111 and the two links inside it?
Hey guys,
Just wanted to share a working and free NX generator. I used this generator multiple times and I am already an NX millionaire! Check it out here: http://maplestoryxtremehackz.blogspot.com/
FUCK OFF. penishacker. go lick an arse.
Oh, NOW they add it, after all my characters were deleted by the hacker ;-;
You know, there has been special hats for thunder breakers, wind archers, and dawn warriors when Cygnus Returns started, but there’s no special hats for blaze wizards or night walkers yet. Not to mention, there’s no character art for blaze wizard or night walker yet either. Kms must eventually release the character art and the special hats for the last two reorganized Cygnus Knights, so we will get a sense of closure.
