New Idea About CrimsonWood and Pirate Patch

[jrvillarreal]

There is a patch scheduled on the 30th, and We know crimsonwood is coming in early august due to the data in my E3 thread. We have no idea when pirates could be coming, but other versions are set to recieve it simultaneously (except korea, who already have it) on the 30th. Could it be possible that the Crimsonwood keep and pirate job come in one, massive, over-24hour patch that starts on the 30th, extends THROUGH the entire July 31, and finishes sometime in August 1st? (early august) I thought this was an interesting, unmentioned, and very possible idea:glitter:
ZOMG!!!! HUGE THATNK YOU TO FIEL FOR ADDING SHINY EYES. :glitter::glitter::glitter::glitter::glitter::glit ter::glitter::glitter::glitter::glitter:

The only version getting pirates on the 30th is JMS. There's no massive releases coming up or anything like that. There's no way we'll get pirates and crimsonwood at the same time, it's just too much.

[Berzerk]

To much in one patch, they'd basically be giving away their biggest updates in one patch? Not going to happen, even though we all wish. They'd spread it out more.

[Corn]

Nah, this would be more like a New Year's thing. And even New Year's wouldn't even be that long.

[Bacon]

Two huge updates aren't going to be released on the same day. You'll have thousands of complains that there is going to be a 24 hour patch, and a thousand more when people find all the glitches.

I'll be happy with just Crimsonwood.

[Acim]

Personally, I hope for Crimsonwood, not Pirates. and maybe it won't be on the 30th, or then again, maybe Nexon was lying and it won't be in early August. We'll see.

[AlterWolfie]

My guess is that we're a couple patches away from Pirates, close, but not getting it quite yet.
-AlterWolfie, who also doesn't think that giving two updates would be very characteristic of their strategy. Just enough to keep us coming back for more. =P

[Loose]

I'm drooling for Pirates, but still, I think it's better to take it one step at a time. Crimsonwood July/August, Magatia (or Pirates) August/September, interesting Halloween patch NxProse mentioned on October, Thanksgiving patch on November (maybe Krakia?) and Pirates possibly while on Christmas break.

I'm wondering if it's possible to get Krakia on October, from what I've seen, it's a place inhabited by cyborgs and Dr. Krakia (which might be scary?). Also, the Commando Turkeys were from that place.

[Wani]

Am I the only one thinking that, since the MSEA exclusive area expansion gave scrolls for pirate gear, Crimsonwood Keep will start them dropping too?

[JezzaRules]

The only version getting pirates on the 30th is JMS. There's no massive releases coming up or anything like that. There's no way we'll get pirates and crimsonwood at the same time, it's just too much.

Thats true, otherwise a lot of players are gonna suffer from nearly 24 hours of downloading the patch =\

[Zim]

It would be nice though if Pirates were released after summer. There'll be less competition in the scroll prices in the beginning :f3:

(And of course, a good start in being the #1 Pirate...)

[Jirai]

I'm sure Nexon wants ALL focus on CK. I also doubt they'll release a new server this patch because of that.

[DrRusty]

Nexon america is in love with masteria. Theres no way they'd put pirates ahead of it.

[Devil]

Oh trust me, pirates = not this summer!

It's all Crimsonwood from now till September / October. Maybe pirates will come out in fall when they've been thouroughly tested in jMS first...

2 Mayor patches in 1 is too bug sensitive, and will take -way- too much time to implement correctly (2 days server check anyone? :P).

Besides that, more new (even also high lvl player area's) > Pirates. If they would release pirates now, maybe 20% of the players would be enthousiastic because of new content for them, now with new area's for all lvls => everyone gets new content!

So yea, next (big) patch = Crimsonwood, Pirates are for later this year!

[Hero]

No.

Just no.

[Afrobean]

Nexon america is in love with masteria. Theres no way they'd put pirates ahead of it.
Unless they had developed the new area with Pirates as a heavily important factor.

But I don't think that's the case at all, since with all the leaked and early release information, there seems to be absolutely nothing indicating Pirates even being hinted at there. The most obvious place to look for this would be the large map render of the front of the fortress, where one can PLAINLY see banners for each of the 4 currently available classes, and a 5th one in the center that is a combination. Were Pirates to be linked to this, I would guess they would have had a banner in place as well.

[Hazzy]

. If they would release pirates now, maybe 20% of the players would be enthousiastic because of new content for them, now with new area's for all lvls => everyone gets new content!

Every poll I've seen has around 85% of the votes going towards making a Pirate.

[Rain]

It will probably go like
"July: Crimsonwood"
'August: Nothing -or- Yellonde'
September: Yellonde if it is not released in august -or- Pirates
October, Novemeber: Events.
December: Worldmap + Event.

[IsaacGS]

"July: Crimsonwood"
'August: Nothing -or- Yellonde'
September: Yellonde if it is not released in august -or- Pirates

Saying "nothing" is silly. We haven't gotten a Nothing patch since last November (and every November patch for Global's entire life span has added nothing.)

Anyway, if we're actually going to talk about what's left to add and what's left in the year, we have few decent choices. Magatia is great, but for whatever reason it's almost always held at bay. Elin Forest has crept into our data, and with the recent changes to it Pirates are no longer a prerequisite. then again, there's also no quests in Elin at all so all it really is are a few new 4x and 5x monsters. Iron Mutae and Roids in Magatia are probably way better for this training period anyway. Time Temple's still too new to really be on the table.

No need to even really talk about pirates in detail since everyone thinks they know all about them.

And then, we're left with world tour areas, which I have come to despise for their overall uselessness. Thailand's Floating Market, a veritable junk-filled swamp, Taiwan's Formosa, which has its' only real saving grace in the form of a "Maybe, one day..." town, and China's Shanghai which is probably the single worst town ever invented.

So, what's really left, then?

Magatia - Finish up Ossyria/Nihal, Get the Black Magician storyline rolling
Elin Forest - The second step of Black magician storyline, references pirates however they're not required
Nautilus Port - Pirate Job, more Black Magician Storyline. Generally considered a huge update. Can come before or after Magatia
Shanghai - excuse me while I vomit. >_>
Formosa - After you beat Snack Bar, you probably won't come back. I hear the quests are frustratingly difficult as well.
Floating Market - lol only good training spot is for 1x.

So there you have it. 6 areas: 3 good, 3 bad. from now to the end of the year, we've got probably 5 content patches left. We all also know how much Nexon likes storylines and getting Magatia out there definitely sets the base for further additions to both Masteria and Ossyria. We also know they've got something special planned for this halloween, which we can only hope will equal or surpass last year's amazing event (though how they might do this I have no idea.)

So, personally, I think it'll be something more like this:

Late August - Magatia, no PQ (who expected Mu Lung/Herb Town/Pine Forest after NLC?)
Mid September - Area Bosses + Magatia PQ
Early October - Whatever amazing Halloween event they have planned
Early November - Probably just dumb turkeys as usual. Maybe a crappy world tour area, who cares which one...
Early Decemeber - Maplemas vs. Versalmas again, probably with some new twists. our happyville was changed from the CMS version to the KMS version, no way to know if this will stick. Perhaps more Area Bosses will be released.

[Rain]

They will probably release Magatia PQ and Magatia together.
What about yellonde?

[LlghtHero]

As already said, A lot of people want pirates already. I doubt only 20% of the maplestory population would make them. The desire to be the # 1 viper/captain in gms is visible throughout the posts. For me, I'd rather see crimsonwood first and pirates shortly after. I still need equips to gather for mine:f3:

[revansithasasin]

i pretty much fall in line with isaac's thinking, adding my opinion that adding pirates and ck at the same time with no testing would probly be an incredibly terrible idea. i would however like to see those area bosses a bit sooner then that. *wants to finish those stinking quests.....and turn into a red snail, booyah for snails*

[Worthyness]

I still stick to my Holiday patch=pirates theory. We tend to have big things happen In the December patch...

They need to revamp all the old events... Make something new...

We'll probably get some random useless nooby cities in those patches... they'll turn to Ghost towns like Omega Sector (except for the fact that Nautilus can link back to there i believe).

I think this is pretty feasible but i'm thinking krakadia for oct/nov (awesomeness) but no mention of singapore awww but yeah highly doubt we'll have pirates this year (maybe as a big thing for jan like we got 4th jobs this past one) though i'd like to see magatia and the pq in one patch just cause i want the eye of horus for my priest so badly.... what about the glove from the other pq? any thoughts on when we get those additions?

I'm not going to even try to guess at minor things because that's completely unpredictable. The reason I split Magatia and Magatia PQ up is because CMS just did that. Basically my prediction is a similar pattern to what happened last year: after a summer of great, huge updates, we get one last nice update to seal the deal as people return to school, then smaller updates until it reaches holiday time. Not only does this give Nexon time to take a breather but lets some people focus a bit more on their schoolwork (lolyeahright)

Monster Book, Maker Skill (once Magatia is out), PQ upgrades, etc. are all smaller things that could come at any time (however I'm inclined to believe Monster Book will be released with Area Bosses on my schedule. That would mean most of the monsters in the book at its' first release in KMS are present.)

[Berzerk]

I have a Feeling we might get Krakia for November. I mean, we got hints of it last year during the events. It's been a year, they should release something related to it. Also, I always think we could get Coke Town for December, seems like a perfect addition for that time. Anyways, we're still due something for this month. We got a patch the 8th, but that wasn't content. They fixed something from the last patch. So, lets hope we get Crimsonwood Keep, I don't feel like waiting until August.

I'd like to think that Krakia might be out, but for some reason I don't really think so. Krakia seems like a very technological place and it looks like right now we're exploring the past of Masteria. I guess we can't judge this for sure until Crimsonwood's out. Though, the Taru in TCG set 3 are a good sign if you hope for Krakia, since Crimsonwood was the main focus of Set 2 and one of several focal points at set 1. Krakia is also referenced to in a few set 2 items. Also keep in mind we have no idea what their plan for Halloween is, and if there's any other place which says "Halloween" besides a Haunted House, it's a Mad Scientist's lab.


According to the FTP data and the event endings, Crimsonwood was at least initially scheduled for July. It may be delayed but the plan was for it to come out at the end of this month.

Coke Town is never coming

lol waiting till august is 6 more days... i figure it'll be on either 30/31(most likely imo)/1 and at the latest 5/6 so yeah not long plus if they wait till the 5th then they'll prob do another patch late in august with new content (assuming they work out the bugs with cimsonwood by then) cause of the offset of patches

[Berzerk]

Coke Town is never coming

Why do you think that? I guess I'm just open minded. To me, it doesn't seem like striking a deal with Coca Cola isn't that hard. :3 And plus, don't we already have some data otherwise? Just a thought, but couldn't it be illegal to add the data if something already wasn't planned? O.o

[Rayquaza2233]

Coke Town is never coming[/SIZE]
^

Okay, now that that's out of the way. Couldn't it be possible the Taru dudes moved to another city because they got driven out of Krakia?

Every version has the data, and they've always had the data. It comes and goes. JMS got a more advanced version of Coke Town than KMS, but they removed it after only 1 month.

Why on earth would it be illegal to have the data passively sitting there? For one, we're not really supposed to be able to see it. It's kinda like free advertising just for us knowing it exists.

For that matter why would anyone even care if coke town came out? It sucks for training, almost all the quests require you to actually buy coke to complete them... It looks ok, but honestly you might go there once or twice but in the end it's about as useful as Florina Beach. People forget it exists.

Well, uh, I guess that's sort of what happened. The Taru were pretty much all killed off by the Krakians, whatever they are. The few survivors apparently went to Victoria Island, and of them, the only one left (that we know of) a thousand years later is Corine.

[Rayquaza2233]

But what evidence do we have ruling out the idea they fled and founded their own city? Maybe Vineland, it sounds like it's high up, so they could stay out of reach of Krakians there.

You have to admit there are some really freaking weird laws out there. I'm not sure, but like I said I'm extremely open minded for anything to happen. I mean, it may suck but it would still be a pretty cool town to have, no?

[Rayquaza2233]

I don't see what the draw is to Coke Town besides the BGM, personally.

[IsaacGS]

Just... take it from someone who's been there, it's not as exciting as it might seem. I guess I wouldn't get upset if they added it but it's by far the lowest on my desirability list.

The continent was under water for 1,000 years? XD I'm pretty sure that both John Barricade and corine specifically say they all died out.

[Rayquaza2233]

...Goddammit, thwarted again. Then who's in Krakia? If the city was underwater... o_o

Krakians are some sort of nonhuman things, and we also know that they're cyborgs from the Thanskgiving event, however that probably happened after the continent came up. I don't know, we can sit here and think up crazy reasons how they survived all day. We don't really know when Masteria arose once again, so like if it came out of the water a long time before NLC was opened then that would have given monsters time to migrate there before people.

Isaac, i think that Foxwit said Krakians were humans who modified their bodies with technology...

[IsaacGS]

Isaac, i think that Foxwit said Krakians were humans who modified their bodies with technology...
Corine said they were some type of beast. I'll go look at both people's panels.

Ok, Corine says:
"All I know is that Masterian history says that it was the Krakians that drove them from the Jungle and perhaps wiped them out, but this makes no sense as the Krakians were peaceful, gentle creatures."

Foxwit says:
"Dr. Krakia has found the former city of the Krakians, the Polis of Krakia itself."

So they were not human. It also sounds like a drastic change in behavior, which might lead one to believe they were being controlled or manipulated. Since Foxwit's from the future, it's no stretch to assume his archenemy also has time traveling powers. In this case, it explains why he shares a name with these creatures and the jungle: They're named after him, for presumably manipulating them as he went back in time. Crazy time travel causality.

However, they're not just modified monsters either. To build a city they must have been intelligent.

[Alloy]

I'm loving the time travel references...

But as long as I can do a time paradox, I'll be happier than anyone.

[Pengysecks]

Heh, time paradoxing maplestory would be pretty awesome. <_<

[NightLuk]

Crimsonwood + Pirates in one patch sounds so unreal, I can't never see patches like that coming from GMS... I could see those kind of patches coming with tons of stuff from KMS or JMS. If Nexon America really does that is because there's terrorists in their building xD

I just think like that because imagine a Pirates + Crimsonwood with billions of bugs and errors... and also bringing 2 great additions it would make gamers get bored again. Nexon purpose is to make good patches each time, because they know people will want more and more. And Also, Magatia should come before pirates or in the same day as pirates (it's an essential place to train for them) and they can't just do Crimsonwood + Magatia + Pirates... that's would be more broken than that boss party quest at kms that gave godly exp...

My patches/expansion schedule

Late August - Magatia (if pirates comes before, this town is very important for that class at Lv 4x-6x). Infighters might have more advantages because there's more platforms that can be used for infighters they're very close to the monsters, while gunslingers might have some problems cause the platforms are close enough that their will be stabbing with the gun unless you jump, only place I think it's great for gunslingers are those are Lv 4x bong eye monsters :P

Mid-late September - Area Bosses, World Tours (Maybe some Singapore? :D)

Mid-late October - Magatia romeo and juliet pq (doesn't that match the halloween theme? xD) and Halloween Haunted House event

mid November - a NLC expansion, since we discovering NLC history, why don't get to visit some Yeti Sphynx with Bigger Ben expansions? more Turkeys and why not a turkey boss? >_> because every(or almost every of them) event has a boss why not this one?
Mid Decemeber - Maybe we get to know even more about what happened with Versal, how to access it, what happened between Amoria/Versal (since Amoria is affecting somehow the way to travel back and forth from the real world to versal world) and more detailed info about Mushmom boss in versal, HappyVille with another of those bosses snowmens :S

youre leaving out singapore(which has some REALY good traing spots）, mount song town, probably after *hates to mention name*shanghai. other than that, there realy is no content besides from the exclusive world tour areas, which realy arent exclusive anymore.krexel plox :)

[Jirai]

You don't need Magatia to get Pirates. A few versions have gotten Pirates without it.

It's not that we need Magatia in order to get pirates, its that Magatia is very important for pirate training, I can't live without it on my kms gunslinger ^^

Singapore has one monster good in Ulu City, and all the rest are for lower levels. Mount Song Town apparently requires a bitch amount of accuracy, and besides CMS, only JMS has it, so we're a ways off from it.

[Beserker101]

Krakens (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=kraken&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi)? lol

I'd love to try to fight a zakum sized octopus, it would be great :f2:.

[tzk221]

CWK + Pirates would be too huge for Nexon to handle.

.59 - Early Aug - Crimsonwood Keep
.60 - Mid Aug - Bug fixes
.61 - Early Sept - Not sure, but thinking it's a World Tour like Ximending + Night Market
.62 - Early Oct - Magatia + Halloween event + Prendergast Mansion event
.63 - Early Nov - Thanksgiving event (+ very low chance with Krakia)
.64 - Mid Dec - Pirates (our Christmas present) + Area bosses + Christmas event + Happyville
.65 - Between Dec 27 and Dec 30 - Bug fixes

For some reason I don't think they're going to repeat the mansion event. I mean, they're not going to close the town off again. plus it sounds like they've got something unique and interesting in store this year too, though I don't know how they'll top last year.

[Hazzy]

I don't know how they'll top last year.

All they have to do is make it free. ._.

I'm not talking about the event from last year. I'm talking about the KMS event or a new event altogether, one that will further the storyline.

[IsaacGS]

All they have to do is make it free. ._.
See, the problem with that is the same as repeating all events: For people who already did it, they aren't getting anything new at all. They can just make new quests. I would hate to see that event repeated because that was the epic part of it: Unlike anything else (YAY YOU SAVED LUDI FROM PAPULATUS! *Next Day* OMFG HE'S BACK AGAIN) it actually ended. You put all the character's souls to rest, tied up their storyline in a nice neat little bow, and then they actually went away. There's only one loose string in the mansion right now, and that's the little boy ghost. The little boy is an NPC in the KMS mansion, so maybe they can just move him over and set off another short storyline or something.

I think were gonna get Crimsonwood and the next patch or two Pirates...why? because i'm to inpatient to wait that long for pirates..okok!

[Hazzy]

See, the problem with that is the same as repeating all events: For people who already did it, they aren't getting anything new at all. They can just make new quests. I would hate to see that event repeated because that was the epic part of it: Unlike anything else (YAY YOU SAVED LUDI FROM PAPULATUS! *Next Day* OMFG HE'S BACK AGAIN) it actually ended. You put all the character's souls to rest, tied up their storyline in a nice neat little bow, and then they actually went away. There's only one loose string in the mansion right now, and that's the little boy ghost.

What I meant was they could make a better event just by having it free. :/

But that would mean repeating it :/

How about repeating the old event for the ones that couldn't do it last year and adding new content for everyone? (The ones that did the quests last year cannot redo it.)

I hope that at least the chests of the pumpkin vault appear once more :redface:

that would mean all the NPCs come back and everything again. I hate events being repeated in general because the whole point of an event is to give you some item for that event that says "I did this see look!" If they turn around and give out the exact same item next year then that item's not going to be very rare anymore. who wasn't annoyed by them giving out Pumpkin Basket 2006 in the year 2007? If they made a 2007 basket, even if it looked exactly the same and gave the same stats, it would have been better. I don't want the same thing to happen to Toymaker outfits.

I second that at least. XD

[Cheesecake]

maybe we'll get pirates as part of the halloween event. i could see it fit in with the whole holiday, and dressing up as pirates. it'll probably be either halloween, or christmas.

[Mira]

If they could do the old even and the new one, that would be awesome. Some of us couldn't participate in last year's events, and I don't like missing so many quests. >_<

Okay, I get your point about the items, but still would like to experience the quests for myself. Seeing the event pass by last year means that I'm missing out on some of the most crucial parts of the story of Masteria.

Have the quest return, but nerf the rewards a bit? :/

I'm okay with that. :shine:

Do you guys think gummis and heart-stoppers should drop again, then?

[Rain]

Corine said they were some type of beast. I'll go look at both people's panels.

Ok, Corine says:
"All I know is that Masterian history says that it was the Krakians that drove them from the Jungle and perhaps wiped them out, but this makes no sense as the Krakians were peaceful, gentle creatures."

Foxwit says:
"Dr. Krakia has found the former city of the Krakians, the Polis of Krakia itself."

So they were not human. It also sounds like a drastic change in behavior, which might lead one to believe they were being controlled or manipulated. Since Foxwit's from the future, it's no stretch to assume his archenemy also has time traveling powers. In this case, it explains why he shares a name with these creatures and the jungle: They're named after him, for presumably manipulating them as he went back in time. Crazy time travel causality.

However, they're not just modified monsters either. To build a city they must have been intelligent. I want to say mermaids since the city has been underwater for some time.

[Hazzy]

I'm okay with that. :shine:

Don't they still drop? o.0

[tzk221]

Nope. They stopped dropping after the Thanksgiving patch.

Well, you need to keep in mind Corine is talking about what happened over 1,000 years ago, before the island sunk, and that Foxwit is talking about what's going on now, after the island's arisen. Whatever they are they must be capable of walking on land, and they live deep in the jungle, which is pretty far from water (aside from that river.)

Don't they still drop? o.0
The only use item from last halloween that still drops in the mansion is Smores, because they're needed for that quest. Gummy Slimes, Pumpkin Taffy, Heartstoppers and so on don't drop right now.

Duh?

[ItzTaylor]

Mabye they are just some half-fish half-monkey like creatures, that drove out all the Taru Tribe, then the land filled with water taking out the whole Krakian population too.

Then in the future when it arises again, Professor Foxwit finds out about it, goes back in time, helps the Krakians survive underwater, while giving them his knowledge of technology, allowing them to form cyborg turkeys, and give us a crappy thnxgiving event.

Theory, I don't know much, I've just read. :\

Singapore has one monster good in Ulu City, and all the rest are for lower levels. Mount Song Town apparently requires a bitch amount of accuracy, and besides CMS, only JMS has it, so we're a ways off from it.

well mount song is true, but singapore has 3 main training spots. 1.the one you mentioned.2 is suburban area 2, the truckers are realy good exp, 3. the mysterious path 3, its laways full in mapleSEA.
