the background looks lke a run-off from the haunted mansion.

[Loose]

All the guys on the left are Bowmen, except the one without a weapon.

Good find.

That would be be cause CK is in the Phantom Forest, where the mansion is :P

[Tamekii]

ysopro@phutoshup

So, it looks like we have to walk there. o_o

[Worthyness]

WOOT !! bowmens!!! =P

But why not any crossbows? Why leave out them again? =O

Kinda reminds me of that ominous castle in the zombies map...

[Cardboardsnail]

I like the scenery :)

Fat naruto guy is :f6: though

[DarkGenzo]

That background... is... dead sexy.

Me too man, me too. :f4:

[Rayquaza2233]

Archer NPC. Does it hold importance?

[Slip]

Hm... I'm beginning to think that one has to walk to the keep through the only Phantom Forest map in the Haunted House... That would make sense though, if the boss doesn't spawn there.

Nice find!

[whybanme]

This is one of the backgrounds I released before nexon contacted me, except the image I had was much larger and the lightning flashes and fog moving on the ground.

Do you know the names of the two NPCs we haven't seen before? I don't remember if you said how many names were in the folder.

No offense to Nexon's work, but I think the one you made looks more Maple-y to me.

Incidentally, did anyone else notice that little guy with the weird thing on his head? It looks like his head is an apple and that's the stem.

[whybanme]

No, but if I remember correctly, the female raven ninja is a potion seller. The name of the knight with the spear is Lukan Van Nrisan or something like that. Not sure of any others.

[Valarius]

Did you happen to save any of the files you got? If so, PM me.

[Rayquaza2233]

No, he deleted them, and he's not allowed to share them.

[whybanme]

Did you happen to save any of the files you got? If so, PM me.

Haha I did, but got rid of them all after nexon's general counsel told me that leaking their intellectual items was illegal.

[Retalion]

Why are there only archers? xD

Im probably being overly optimistic, but hopefully archers get something good D:

[»-Chris->]

Lol, downloaded. Can't wait to see the real thing soon! ;D

[Cyadd]

Sweet, it looks awesome. Too bad I'm not that into Maple, GW for the win!

[VictorGS]

Also, this NPC, i think he's the Storage?

..Notice at the mesos that are in his head =o

Sack+Mesos=Storage =D

[Loose]

Lidium Arrows, or whatever strange material makes the sword and spear glow blue. : /

Bowmen deserve something good, though.

[Sn1perJohnE]

Did you happen to save any of the files you got? If so, PM me.

they had sent a message to remove all files, and its smart to remove em.

[Corn]

Wow, sweet. Nice find =).

Edit: Probably only archers since they're part of the Windreavers or something. That doesn't really explain why there's no sins, though.

[jrvillarreal]

I already posted this thread on the nexon forums this morning. 3 hours later, every ms forum has a thread eerily similar to mine

[Afrobean]

Theoretically, there should also be gunmen among their ranks as well.

:wink:

I think it's a bit of a coincidence. Notice they're all NPCs on the right, but all player characters on the left. I don't think it's inherently related to it. Maybe it's more of a "hey look, there are archers, we haven't forgotten archers again!"

Either way, like I said, I would expect there to be gunmen among the ranks of the ranged group. Fisticuffers among the melee group as well. Maybe they'll only be coyly mentioned in quests in this patch, and appear later when Pirates actually come out. But you have to realize, this is coming out now, they knew of Pirates while working on this, the Grandmasters were representative of all classes. I'm sure Pirates will be involved in some way, if not when it comes, then later. That's a cool thing to think of, I think.

[DumbApples]

It's a hint that they'll fix the Archer glitch!

[Tamekii]

NO!Its an apologize from Nexon because of the DC glitch D:!
Nexon does not hate archers D:!

Well...this means there will be no more hints on the NxProse Post (http://forum.nexon.net/MAPLESTORY/forums/thread/1321952.aspx)?

Awww :D

[Jirai]

I don't see why they would stop doing the teasers, I mean, we had already seen the fat ninja in an ad, and they still did a teaser involving him.

[Beaner]

they hate archers, that says look at the background, your maple future is that grim

nexon: LULZ archers ~takes a shit on them~

That wallpaper is awesome.
I can't wait to explore when it comes out.
:heart:

[Milelke]

Lol, the place is going to be lag town becuase there are so many people there.

Im still wondering what monsters there are gonna be...

[Katie]

Wow... that's pretty nice looking. Also, there is a pirates one :f6:

[IsaacGS]

Wow... that's pretty nice looking. Also, there is a pirates one :f6:
Herb Town pirates...




well, the best thing about this is that we can now ask NxProse about the leaked picture via this background. (I wouldn't be surprised if the leaked pic influenced the desktop wallpaper's creation.)

[pootato]

Aww, why are there only bowmans? =(

[Beaner]

Herb Town pirates...


Ah. Show's how much I have been to Herb Town to even pay attention =)

[Germ]

Looks cool. That NPC with the sword is so kewl. :o

[JoeTang]

I am going to be pissed if there are any more new arrows.

[Worthyness]

You're not gonna be the only one... i bet you a lot more of the archer community will outrage as well...

[Loose]

And a Chief Bandit. I hope that Archers get something that's really useful, that's not arrows.

I hope I get a Bosshunter Gi or Ancient Gi...

[Dyxanije]

Cool background and this at least proves one thing, Nexon does not hate Bowmen, they hate Crossbowmen. Just kidding xD.

Carlos, I think that's just saying you're way too strong D;

[Beaner]

they did something, there is a new cap. check the archer section if you interested in my findings jackk and you all.

[Afrobean]

I am going to be pissed if there are any more new arrows. Hey now!

New arrows are a good thing. They just should be paired with something more substantive than that alone. Oh, and they should be readily available to anyone who would want them. An easy instantly repeatable quest, or simply being able to buy them. Maybe being able to buy them after having completed a quest, sort of like potions from Alcaster in El Nath.

You might rely on Soul Arrow, but using special arrows can augment your damage rather well. How much would you spend to gain 4 weapon attack on your glove or bow? All it'd cost you is to switch to Saphire Arrows from Showa (or Diamond from NLC... DOT DOT DOT FROWN), and allocate some inventory room for arrows.

[Worthyness]

the fact that arrows don't work with soul arrows is what makes people not happy. When a skill allows you to use less arrows=less money... Therefore, soul arrows kinda saves many archers money that they can use to upgrade other things....

Arrows are great for those lower leveled, but after soul arrows appears, they're not worth buying anymore unless you have an expanded inventory.

Expanded inventory? How do you think Nightlords get by with their massive stars required? How do Magicians get by with their required large sets of pots needed.

Without inventory expansion, they can't get by very well. Just consider this: at least you have a choice. I, as a Bishop, must increase my inventory to hold pots, or deal with having to recharge constantly, potentially multiple times per session. If I could choose to do a few thousand less damage to be able to not use up so much pots, I would, just because it's such a pain to get more.

And please, do not cite Warriors and Bandits as a counter point. Just because some classes have it easy in a certain department does not mean it's unfair if you're one of the classes that does not.

['Lexy]

Ugh, is anybody else getting this problem?
I keep trying to download it, but mine looks different somehow. I'm not too sure where, though.

[JezzaRules]

The NPC 5th from the right looks like John Barricade in the Bigger Ben Lobby, perhaps that's his twin brother?

[EndlessAxis]

Ohhh. I see a vine whip O_O
