KMS ver. 1.2.368 – MapleStory Ignition: Odium & Maple Vision Talk!
The third and final patch of the MapleStory Ignition update, Odium, has been released. It includes job balancing, the new level 275 area Awakened Laboratory: Odium, as well as various convenience improvements. It also has this year’s Chuseok event, where the summer event’s Ignition Fireworks Festival turns into the Ignition Full Moon Party and the collaboration event with BTS Jin!
In addition, before the patch, they released the 2022 Maple Vision Talk, where Wong-ki talked about MapleStory’s general direction going forward.
Edit: There was a minor patch the next day with a few additional skill changes and bug fixes. I’ll include the skill changes in the main section marked in red but I’ll put the rest in its own section at the bottom.
KMS ver. 1.2.367 – MapleStory Ignition: Extreme!

The second patch of the MapleStory Ignition update has been released. Titled Extreme, it includes new Extreme Mode difficulties for Black Mage and Seren, the return of Monster Park Extreme, and other hunting changes.
Also, they (accidentally?) added some quest data for Odium, which confirms a couple of things like the list of daily quests (10 different mobs including stronger versions of the three mobs from the Karote story, requiring 1000/800/700/500 kills), 5 Authentic Symbols per day, and also teases the next area, the Realm of Sages, Utopia (could also be ‘Paradise’ but it’s hard to translate ‘도원경’).
KMS ver. 1.2.366 – MapleStory Ignition: Cygnus Knights Remaster!

The first patch of the MapleStory Ignition update has been released! The Cygnus Remaster gives all of the Cygnus Knights, including Mikhail, an updated look and various improvements. This patch also contains various quality of life changes, Hyper Burning up to level 250, and the Ignition Fireworks Festival event!
In terms of the remaster, there were basically zero changes from the last test world patch until now (really disappointing tbh). I decided to just do a full skill translation so it won’t show the differences from before and after the remaster, but you can check the two KMST posts for those. There was one additional developer notes section for Wind Breaker which I’ll include here.
KMS ver. 1.2.365 – 7000 Days of MapleStory!

This patch contains the expansions to Mu Lung Dojo and Union, as well as various QoL improvements and changes. There’s also new events, including one celebrating 7000 days of MapleStory and one to prepare for the summer update Ignition!
Discussion Board Developer Comments (May 4, 2022)

The discussion board topic of “opinions about reorganizing the official homepage guides for new and returning players” has ended and the developers have shared their thoughts.
Just a quick note because I think it might be a bit unclear and people have misunderstood before: only the blurb at the beginning is written by the developers. All of the top 10 opinions, supporting comments, and opposing comments are summarized from all of the things that players have posted.
