2024 MapleStory Summer Showcase- Milestone Update Summary!
Last night, the 2024 MapleStory summer showcase took place, where they detailed the things that will be added in the Milestone update over the next few months as well as talked a little bit about other content up until November of this year!
The in-game map you could go to was also pretty nice as it gave experience passively as you were inside (I got 2% in total at level 286!) and there were various quiz events that each rewarded 5 VIP Boosters and 5 Sol Erda Fragments if you got the answer right.
After the showcase, the test server went up with the first iteration of the (spoilers) Aran and Eunwol remaster. The next test patch is going to be on the 13th so they will probably make more changes and add the corresponding events in that one. I wanted to get this one out as soon as possible so expect another post for KMST in a day or two!
Read more…KMST ver. 1.2.167 – 2nd Mastery Core Changes
A test world patch containing changes to the 2nd Mastery Core skills as well as other overall skill changes, the return of Elite Monsters and Bosses in Grandis, a full update to Heroes of Maple’s story, and the new Outfit Preset system!
This patch does NOT contain the previously mentioned changes to Cubes and mesos. That should be in a separate patch that will happen after next week’s live server patch on January 18 (where the 2nd Mastery Cores will be released).
Read more…KMS ver. 1.2.379 – MapleStory New Age: 6th Job!
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…
Read more…KMST ver. 1.2.156 – 6th Job Begins
Finally, the 6th job skills have been added to the test world! This patch actually came out on Thursday so its been a few days, I was busy with some other stuff and it did take a while to write everything out. Also, the effects for the 6th job Origin Skills were way too big (like each one would be 20MB+ gifs and some have multiple versions for different genders) so I decided not to include those, especially since I don’t have that much storage space left on WordPress lol. Instead, I’ll include 맑음’s videos that you can follow along with, which show off every 6th job skill and also show the difference between the base skills and the enhanced versions! I’ll maybe add them in for the final post but they’ll probably have to be hosted somewhere else.
Read more…MapleStory New Age Showcase!
The 2023 MapleStory Summer Showcase – New Age took place earlier today, where they showed off all of the things coming this summer, including the long-awaited 6th job!!
If you guys watched Steve’s stream or looked at my Twitter, you would know that Steve, Neo, and I were invited to the showcase as well! It was an amazing experience being in the crowd when such a huge announcement was made! We also got to briefly meet Director Kang Wongki (again) and Planning Team Leader Kim Changseop before they went on stage! I won’t be making a separate post about the day but I’ll include some photos in this one just to show what it looked like live.
I translated the showcase itself but I won’t be adding images because the pictures I took were not as good as the ones directly from the stream and I’m too lazy lol. However, it’s in the same order as the stream so you can follow along in another tab.
Also, the test world opened today with the game improvements and other changes (not 6th job, that will be on June 22). I’ll work on that later, maybe Monday!
