MapleStory Destiny Live Talk!
Earlier today, the MapleStory team held the MapleStory Destiny Live Talk, a live Q&A with the general director Kang Won-ki and the planning team director Kim Chang-seop, to talk about things that they didn’t fully explain during the showcase as well as answer questions from players in real-time. I’ll summarize most of the main points that they mentioned, it might be a little vague in parts just because of the format of the event.
And of course, tonight, the Adventurer remaster will be released in the test world! The post will probably take a long time considering I’ll have to translate 14 jobs’ skills so expect delays. I might post early and constantly update until I’m done as well but I’m not sure yet.
MapleStory Destiny Showcase!
Earlier today, the MapleStory Destiny Showcase took place, where Nexon showed off all the things we’re getting in this winter update, which includes the Adventurer remaster, boss changes, Voice of Mapler improvements, and the 2021 winter events. The video is timestamped and you can watch through it yourself, but I’ll have a translated summary of sorts below.
In addition, the test server opened soon after with some of the things from the video. I’ll cover that in a separate post which should be up later tonight!
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.
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.
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.
