Last night, a new test world patch was released together with the Maple Vision Talk for the second half of the year. Director Wongki has become General Director Wongki and Planning Team lead Kim Changseop has become Director Changseop!

The second and main patch of the MapleStory New Age update, 6th job, has been released! Together with the new job advancement’s Hexa Skills and Stats come a new high-level area Arteria, and other game improvements. Also there was a minor patch today that made a really huge (temporary) change to grinding in Grandis!
In other news, I saw the post on Reddit about me and I just wanted to say that I’m so grateful to everyone for the support, I really do appreciate it!! It was very nice to read all the kind messages 🙂 But also, guys, I can afford a new keyboard, you don’t need to donate to me for that LOL. I just mentioned it in the last post because I knew there were gonna be a lot of mistakes/typos.
However, there were a lot of new Patreon subscribers which is amazing so I used the money to upgrade the site’s WordPress subscription to have more storage, which is why this post includes the 30MB movies for every class. (Note: I used APNG format since it looks a LOT better than GIFs, but they only work in browser when you click on them and open them in a new tab) We’ll see how long this lasts before I have to go back to Imgur…

One last test world patch before 6th job is released!! This patch contains the actual 6th job advancement quests, the actual Hexa Matrix system, and lots of 6th job skill changes (plus the Enhancement Cores) as well as the level 280 area Arteria and other improvements.
I was going to include a more in-depth guide to the 6th job advancement quests and how the Hexa Matrix system works but this post was already pretty late and there will probably be some changes by the time it releases in the live server, so I’ll add it in to the next one. The next post will probably require going through every single skill so it will definitely take some time! Also my keyboard is dying and the number keys don’t work half the time so it makes it 10x harder for me…
Read more…MapleStory Live (June 29) Summary
A week after the test world update, Director Kang Wongki and Planning Team Leader Kim Changseop did a livestream talking about the 6th job update, feedback they’ve received, and the things they’re working on. They apologized probably no less than 20 times (and Changseop even apologized for apologizing so much lol) but it did seem like a pretty sincere discussion about the shortcomings of the patch.
I expected this to be a short post of bullet points but I actually really enjoyed watching the stream so I ended up writing a lot more lol. Changseop in particular was very honest about the mistakes they made, their reasoning and intentions, their goals, and they are clearly taking into account the players’ point of view now. Obviously I can’t translate it 100% but I tried to include as much detail as possible for the most interesting notes.
