[1.2.303] New jobs confirmed

[Fiel]

While looking in the quest data for this patch, there were new required job IDs added for some quests. The exciting part was that there wasn't just one new job added, there were three! I found this in the quest data:



3121.0.job.44 3211
3121.0.job.45 3212
3121.0.job.46 3311
3121.0.job.47 3312
3121.0.job.48 3511
3121.0.job.49 3512


There have never been new jobs added above 3000 before, so I can only guess that these are the Black Magician jobs that they've been referring to.

200 = Magician
300 = Archer
500 = Pirate

And those must be the third and fourth job.

For the quest it was added to, I believe it was in regards to Shammos.

[Saar331]

so there will never be an endgame boss..
unless,its like boss for each race lol!

cygnus knight's boss is cygnus
adventurer's boss is the goddess of time in time temple..
aran's boss is rien
evan's boss is onyx dragon..
etc etc and black magician is the boss?
all races vs black wings race... uh i see

[TheThunderBandit]

HHHHMMMMMM.... So a Black wings pirate, Archer, and Mage huh? Thank god there are no theifs!

[MasPan]

Inb4 backflipping archer.

[Lost my Mind.]

I'm so over new classes I'd actually prefer another butchered, horribly remade area like Neo City instead..

On the plus side at least the new classes free up my training maps and lets me boss in relative peace and quiet for a few weeks.

[Eos]

so there will never be an endgame boss..

In order for their to be an end-game boss there would have to be an end to the game.
Online games are not supposed to have ends - they're an unlimited supply of possibility for the publisher to milk money out of people by perpetually releasing content.

[shroum]

Hmm If they launch 5 new jobs for the "evil" side I will be pissed off.
Just combine all them into one or something :f7:

[Solarboy]

Hmm, so we get another mage? COOL :D

I´m more itnerested in the backstory of these jobs

[shroum]

maybe the pirate ledgen will be the black mage class?

[Wiire]

Wonder if it will be just classes for the bad guys or actually some other game changes. Can't imagine a Black Magician's worker to happily PQ together with one of the Heroes. o.O

[Hotshot]

I wonder what they're thinking. Well whatever, if the classes have their own balanced yet meaningful roles, it's always nice to have more options of characters. I wonder if these will be capped at 120 too.

[Slaking]

I guess we're never gonna see the Dark Magician version of Warriors and Thiefs now, and neither the Legends for the Archer, Thief or Pirate.
On the other side, these three are my favourite classes, it's something to look forward to for me.

[Worthyness]

Perhaps the pirate, archer, and theif legends are part of the black wings?

knowing KMS, it'll be something like- start off evil, then see the error of their ways and turn good again.

OR

stuck in Ice, forgetted everything, recruited by Evil people, learn evil ways, see error of their ways, turn good by 3rd/4th job.

[Eos]

I wonder if these will be capped at 120 too.

I'm wondering how long before they start releasing classes with more than 200 levels in an attempt to obsolete Adventurers and make everyone feel the need to scramble to catch up to the newer bigger thing.

You know they won't up the cap on the adventurers themselves, but making new ones that can go above and beyond - Total Nexon.

Not in this lifetime.

But they couldn't really do that without increasing the variables that store experience because of their current limitations. I don't think they'd mess with things like that, would they? Besides who would even want to train past 200, seriously. I think they'd be better served by having a job that reaches level 200 getting 6-7ap per point instead, and maybe halv exp gain?

[Eos]

But they couldn't really do that without increasing the variables that store experience because of their current limitations.

It takes less effort to do this than it did to add Vicious' Hammer.
They have to compensate for scope creep by creating something bigger than the current world can take on, and then they either have rebalance everyone to make it work or make new classes that can.
Constant advancement is their only option for sustainability and classes that exceed level 200 are both doable, and the most obvious way of introducing a completely new paradigm that obsoletes everyone without actually taking away the accomplishments of the other classes or forcing them to suddenly be 1/2 way to max level instead of already there.

[KhainiWest]

Inb4HoardeVsAllianceripoff.

Definately adds a new aspect to the game, and possible future PVP? Lol Henesys, the Iraq of the maple world.

[SwordStaker]

Great just what we need more ksers more little brats in GMS screaming I WANT THIS NOW NOW NOW NOW, I KILL YOU ALL IF I DON'T GET IT NOW!. On the brighter note it gives my guide on basil something new to write about.

[Alex123123]

Hmm... who knows, maybe those are not separated jobs but are new ramifications to the adventurer classes after reaching the third job advancement. Sort of like the bladers... sort of...

Join the dark side, they have cookies. And are overpowered.

[Locked]

Quest gives 44k EXP and you have to either finish the PQ or talk to the NPC who starts the PQ.

[Takebacker]

Only excited because there is the word "pirate" in this thread.

[Locked]

Only excited because there is the word "pirate" in this thread.

With only two advancements? Isn't that sort of strange? It seems that it can either be A) Incomplete or B) A branch for the other classes or C) A completely new type of job with strange job advancements.

[Takebacker]

Don't care. It's a pirate.

[Combattente]

Really, really interesting. If these jobs are actually related to the Black Magician, then there will probably be a great contribute to the storyline.

Yup, and that's the most saddening part. Why making an online game have a final boss in the storyline if you will never actually release it in the game? I'm starting to think that this "Black Magician" guy will never show up. EVER.

Never-ending storyline?

[Sarah]

Stories can end, but that doesn't mean the game does. Where one story ends, a new one begins. Hence the release of these billion new jobs.

I always thought of "MapleStory" as.. "My Character's Story."

All these jobs are nice and everything, but I think it's too much of an overload in terms of releasing. We just got Dual Bladers on the 25th of February. Evan we got sometime in December, and now we're getting these new jobs soon.

I agree but in the long run, it's easier to create a huge new story based around new characters than adding one to the already existing characters. That might seem like a strange concept but think of it like this...

You add a new story to the adventurers line. There are already hundreds of level 200's and thousands of people 150+. That means they will finish up a large portion of the story in no time flat, making it sort of a futile effort for enjoyability.

If you add a new story and start from scratch with new characters, people have to adapt to these changes. They don't know what's coming and they're not going to be immediately strong enough to just rush through it all. You can use all of these new formulas and changes to make it more fun or strategic. Overall, this will last much longer for the player, and that's the goal.

Unfortunately for adventurers, that is very grim. But if this is their plan, I'm sure they'll continue adding other things for adventurers. I'm not totally opposed to new classes. I worked really hard on my I/L, but new classes add diversity and if they have their own stories, then new excitement. It's a little depressing to put my I/L on a shelf, but I know that's never going to be the end for it.

[Chameleonic]

It is all about making money.

If Nexon keeps making new classes with sepreate Cash Shops then you will have to keep buying the same things over and over again as you start again from scrath.

[Corn]

Hurray for the Dark Element finally coming out?

[cronnoponno]

Why don't they do what filler anime's do? Complete the story, to heart of the people who actually care about the storyline(I'm not trying to insult, as I care about it to), then release a bunch of sagas or seasons of completely pointless but prolonging story bosses and storylines? Or they can just go all out, and make new islands with new stories with new villains completely different to the ''black magician'', and the black magician can just be a chapter of the many stories throughout the ever expanding maple universe, new continents, new towns, ect. That'd be something cool, wouldn't it? Hell, we already have a temple of time and void dimensions and all that, who's to say there isn't another spot in the maple universe far on the otherside where completely different adventurers are fighting against their greatest enemies? As far as I remember, Osyria and Ludi are in the sky, so you don't really have to go ''around the world'' to see that, I don't know about most other places, Korean Folk town is in a book(but that doesn't really explain the aqua road entrance I guess. Ect, there could be so much to do.


Pirate= heart, YES FINALLY PIRATEPIRATEPIRATEPIRATE DO WANT DO WANT (referring that one guy) I WANT IT NOW OR I'LL KILL YOU NOW!

[Solarboy]

Hurray for the Dark Element finally coming out?

Evan has it allready

Dark fog
Killing wing

[Corn]

Evan has it allready

Dark fog
Killing wing

I mean like, as a main element.

[Rayquaza2233]

Unless they're either like an Evan in that they have a summon or are some kind of mutant, the magical laws of MapleStory say a human can't use dark magic without severe consequences.

[cronnoponno]

Didn't Grendel use dark magic in his youth? Not to mention the dark lord obviously has some form of darkness in him.

[Alloy]

Ok, I had a vision.

Dark Magician VS Godess.

Adventurers VS Black Wings.

All on the same map at the same time. EPIC BATTLE, PLEASE.

[Solarboy]

Didn't Grendel use dark magic in his youth? Not to mention the dark lord obviously has some form of darkness in him.

Grendel did use dark magic, but it caused him to lose some of his power.

The dark lord has dakrness not dark magic

[Erich]

maybe the pirate ledgen will be the black mage class?

You don't get it, jobs 2xxx are legends. 3xxx =/= legend.

[LunaKios]

since were talking about darkness your forgot about the cygnus thief (Icarut/Eckhart) uses the element darkness :f3:

[Alloy]

Demanding a translation for that quest line.

[2147483647]

Shammos, before he turned into a goblin.

Edit: Damn ninja. ^That wasn't a reply to you, but nvrm.

Quest translation by Google and editing out grammar:

Bad omen

Reward Summary: 44,000 EXP, check that the seal of the 'ongoing quest' is NOT STARTED
Category: hobeujewang Lex's resurrection - Howie, Party Quest
Type: Prerequisite Quest
NPC says: Remember, since Game fowl discovered Fax's paranoia, it seems to be evolving more and more.
STARTED: Once I go, I'll see Game fowl, Fax.
COMPLETED: Wizard, I called the former officer Roberto to make sure the seal is in place. Try to ask. We're asking ...

I'm assuming hobeujewang Lex is Shammos?
Roberto could be Robiera?

[Alloy]

Shammos, before he turned into a goblin.

Damn, that was fast.

[Lozmaster]

Hopefully they push these all out at once rather than one at a time...

[Infection]

lol'd @ new series of jobs before the existing series is even finished.
Keep digging that hole, Nexon KR!

[seal133]

so there will never be an endgame boss..
unless,its like boss for each race lol!

cygnus knight's boss is cygnus
adventurer's boss is the goddess of time in time temple..
aran's boss is rien
evan's boss is onyx dragon..
etc etc and black magician is the boss?
all races vs black wings race... uh i see

you want a final boss? then create your own game.

[Sn1perJohnE]

Going off what we already have and what (i think) was said on spadows blog before; The mage will be apart of the black wings/black magicians army because we already had a new mage class (and it would be stupid to have yet another of the easiest class to make). The archer and pirate will most likely be apart of the "new" and "hero" classes, as i think it said there would be one legend, one non-legend, and one black magician follower.


Heres the piece in question;


Q: How many characters can we expect?
A: Two characters are already prepared. One character is a Hero and the other character is related to the Black Magician.
Currently they haven’t decided a launch date for these two new jobs.

[Takebacker]

All of them are part of the black wings. The data confirms it, because the job IDs all start with 3.

[RIPGobies]

lol'd @ new series of jobs before the existing series is even finished.
Keep digging that hole, Nexon KR!

You mean the hole you guys have been claiming they've been digging since 2005? You haven't even given it a chance and you're here complaining about it.

[finalbragade]

I guess we're never gonna see the Dark Magician version of Warriors and Thiefs now, and neither the Legends for the Archer, Thief or Pirate.
On the other side, these three are my favourite classes, it's something to look forward to for me.

I think KMs made a statement about new classes besides Legends like DBs.

[randompeep]

Seriously, all these classes are really becoming overkill. Cygnus and Aran were enough, but another 5 on top of that? Meanwhile no new high level content except Dragon Rider and Shammos PQs has emerged since TT, and those barely qualify...

[MeteorSummoner]

Everytime I decide that it's time to move on from MapleStory, they do the one thing that would most definately keep me playing... .o. If this really is jobs that support the the Black Magician, I'm up for it. This can always bring the possibility of putting in some form of PvP between them and the Heroes (too bad there will be an overabundance of high-leveled heroes) >] I'm mostly looking forward to interacting with the known members of the Black Wings... .__.

I think they should just have one job instead of having dark versions of the existing jobs but that's just me.

[kremechoko]

They should just add several jobs in one time. It's kind of annoying to have ONE JOB come out
Aran comes out, 40 million arans are running around
Same for Evan
Same for DualBlader

I liked it when Cygnus came out. You had a handful of variety to pick from and not everyone would have the same job as you.

[Locked]

Quest gives 44k EXP and you have to either finish the PQ and talk to the NPC who starts the PQ.


Demanding a translation for that quest line.

Mine's a summary.

[Satellite]

So this is the big patch kms was talking about?

L> new place like leafre and TT, PvP, 120+ PQ etc...

I bet its just that new jobs means better and easier profit than new high level area...

[Coogi]

But they couldn't really do that without increasing the variables that store experience because of their current limitations. I don't think they'd mess with things like that, would they? Besides who would even want to train past 200, seriously. I think they'd be better served by having a job that reaches level 200 getting 6-7ap per point instead, and maybe halv exp gain?

Just so you know the Experience table is already in the database if they wanted to make the level cap to 250, they could do it at as easy flicking a light switch.

I find it quite obvious the cap level will be rised for normal adventure classes in the MapleStyory future. Also a Nexon worked on MapleSEA forums did say "Level cap for Cygnus characters are level 120, for now".

Just sayin'

[Coogi]

lol'd @ new series of jobs before the existing series is even finished.
Keep digging that hole, Nexon KR!

There not digging a hole if there making that money!

Also why do people assume the jobs are coming out so soon? No one know's how long they'll be in that database.

[ZottenKerel]

Could open up possibilities, such as a PQ where Groups of each wing have to kill the other Boss, before the other team does. (Black Mage vs. Pink Bean). 'Cus we all know that's probably the closest Nexon will take us to PvP. :3

oh god, PVP would kill the game even more Douwe ><

[xMurtaghx]

The future of MS is exciting!
I wonder how fast these jobs will come out to KMST.

[Nightclaw]

give us classes that have different builds for different purposes.

[Raph589]

Holy shit! I don't want a new alliance/horde system. Not in maple.

[fiftyschmooo]

I dunno this could be fun, even if it was a 3way fued, Adventurers VS Legends VS the black wings peeps, could make for some interesting PQ's

(p.s. read my sig since aparentally u cant post those kinda threads now)

[Coogi]

Can't wait to see some info on these jobs.
