KMS ver. 1.2.357 – Special Lessons with the Toben Hair Hero!
This patch is basically the same as the last KMST, with the changes to Noblesse SP acquisition and the Special Lessons with the Toben Hair Hero event.
MapleStory Destiny: Winter Showcase Announced
The 2021 winter update showcase has been announced! This winter will be the MapleStory Destiny update, and the showcase will take place on December 23. This pretty much confirms that the next KMST patch will be on that same day, but I doubt it will include the Adventurer remasters since that would leave only one week of testing.
KMST ver. 1.2.132 – Guild Skill Point Changes
A small test server patch was released last night for the stuff we’ll be getting next week, which includes changes to getting guild skill points and the return of the Toben Hair Hero event who is now aiming for the Dark Boss set! You can even get the new Fantasy Item Damage Skin, since Dark Boss drops are a fantasy.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t contain any information about the winter update, which confirms that the first patch will be on December 30 (for the official server). This means that the next KMST update we can look forward to should be around either December 16 if they have stuff that needs two weeks of testing or December 23 if it’s going to be a smaller patch.
Discussion Topic Selection & Background Information (12/1 ~ 1/31)
After about a month break, the MapleStory team has chosen the next discussion board topic! For the next two months, the discussion topic will be Overall convenience improvements.
MapleStory Winter Update Interviews
Today a few different Korean news sites released interviews with MapleStory’s director Kang Won-ki and the planning team director Kim Chang-seop, where they talked about the direction the winter update will be taking and what things we can expect. They also confirmed that the Winter update will take place at the end of December, and they are currently working on the Winter update showcase.
This includes the now titled Adventurer Remaster, where all the Adventurer classes will be updated with new skill effects and improvements to their skill mechanics. Only three jobs have been previewed (Dark Knight, Marksman, Captain) but I’m not sure if they will wait to show off the other jobs until the showcase comes out.
