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.
KMS ver. 1.2.356 – Wanna Be Maple Idol!

This patch includes the Foggy Forest Training Centre, a new feature in Mu Lung Dojo that lets you customize monsters and test your damage, as well as a couple events: Wanna Be Maple Idol and I Haven’t Done Anything. These events end on December 8 so we should be getting a test server patch on December 1, which could be the first part of the winter update (although it will probably just be a small pre-update patch).
KMST ver. 1.2.131 – Foggy Forest Training Centre & Other Improvements

A new test server patch has been released. This one is pretty small, there’s a new feature available in Mu Lung Dojo that makes it a lot easier to test your damage and a bunch of improvements/bug fixes. There’s also the event we’ll have for the next month and the return of the I Didn’t Do Anything event.
KMS ver. 1.2.349 – Maple LIVE!

The first patch of the summer update, Maple LIVE, features a bunch of improvements to things like the guild system, daily quests, and Reboot world.
As mentioned in the video released last week, for this summer’s event, they focused on lowering the necessity of coin capping by moving a lot of the high value rewards to being given out freely and allowing you to cap coins in a variety of different methods, as well as giving valuable experience rewards from events.
Inside MAPLE: 2021 SUMMER UPDATE & KMST ver. 1.2.122 – Lots of Improvements
They finally released the teaser video for the Summer update! Although it’s less of a teaser and more of a showcase of a bunch of QoL features and requested changes. Almost everything mentioned in the video was added to the KMST patch that came out today, so I’ll be covering them below. There’s a couple things that will be in later patches so I’ll mention them as well.
