Have you ever thought that adventuring would be so much easier if there were two of you? MapleStory players in Europe will have the chance for just that experience if they choose the newest character -- Mihile, The Knight of Light. As a special ability, this knight can duplicate himself, essentially creating a shield to protect against enemies. At level 70, Mihile can also transfer this same skill onto other players.

Along with the knight, Nexon Europe is adding three new dungeons to MapleStory. Players will soon get to dive into four dungeons based on the seasons through Spiegelmann's Strange Gallery, take a cable car to the quests in Fatansy Theme Park, and discover the secrets of of the beautiful Sakura Castle. The first two will be accessible starting at level 50, but the final dungeon is only for players over level 70.

I was confused at first and then just massively displeased.

......Can we just get hyper skills already please? Spiegelmann's Strange Gallery has been here since the first Tempest patch, Fantasy Theme Park... I honestly see no reason t add it, we can do lots at that level already. Sakura Castle has already been revamped too, and it's not exactly anything good for higher levels so again, I don't care.
We do NOT need more content for 10-110, we need content for 110-220. (No, not a typo, because of even more pomegranaty exclusive content we can go to 220 now IF you get a supreme character to 200 which is fairly impossible). Pretty much your only good EXP at 90-135 is Romeo and Juliet grinding, which becomes really slow after 110.
You can go to Monster Park after 135 which is somewhat decent but still far worse than, say, LHC and only really good if you solo.
After 165 you can go to Drill Hall 2 until 220...where you solo again. The party play bonus there has been changed from 50% per party member to 20% per party member so soloing or duoing is better than a full party.
For the few that don't know: We also don't have Haunted House or Aliens, so everyone's pretty much at Ludibrium and Monster Park.

Summary: Leveling in EMS is pretty pomegranaty, and we do not need more content that's for the few levels where it is easy.

Yay, welcome to the story of MapleSEA except we're NOT even at the update before Tempest yet!

... a duplicate of himself to protect against enemies? What? You mean the Stance skill animation?

And yeah, these new dungeons... "the final dungeon is only for players over level 70". Oh wow. How many months do you figure I have to train before I can get in there?

Wow, they tried really hard to make Mikhail appear interesting.

Does the link skill still give stance? If not, that duplicate better be god dam amazing.

I thought this would be exclusive content.

>Nexon Europe adds new character.
Me: "Oh pomegranate, really?!"
>Sees picture...reads subtitle...confused....sees Mikhail in the middle.
Me: "Oh. God damnit Nexon Europe."

*Press release*

Seriously NEXON?
Seriously??
You tell the press that you release Mihile and NEW* dungeons.
*New as in; we already got them for MONTHS, you could walk through everything, just the quest were not in place and that STILL is not the case for some of them.

How could they fail to mention that they reset every quest? Every medal?
That everytime I log on all of my quest are reset again?
I can not even do bosses. I need to do the entire zakum quest for zakum every time I want to go there.

Ah well, this is normal for EMS so let me end my rant.
This is actually a fairly stable day at EMS =)

Leveling is not slow, especially not romeo and juliet pq, you are just doing it wrong. Do you grind with a hs mule? 2x exp card? Do you solo magatia pq or party? This is what separate a casual gamer to a person who dedicates time, you get nothing in return unless you work for it.

And since it doesnt seem like you have a level 200 yet, I'll give you some info about level 200-220 exp curve.

Level 200 - 1,169 Billion Exp.
Level 201 - 1,204 Billion Exp.
Level 202 - 1,240 Billion Exp.
Level 203 - 1,278 Billion Exp.
Level 204 - 1,341 Billion Exp.
Level 205 - 1,381 Billion Exp.
Level 206 - 1,423 Billion Exp.
Level 207 - 1,438 Billion Exp.
Level 208 - 1,481 Billion Exp.
Level 209 - 1,526 Billion Exp.
Level 210 - 1,572 Billion Exp.
Level 211 - 1,619 Billion Exp.
Level 212 - 1,699 Billion Exp.
Level 213 - 1,751 Billion Exp.
Level 214 - 1,803 Billion Exp.
Level 215 - 1,857 Billion Exp.
Level 216 - 1,913 Billion Exp.
Level 217 - 1,971 Billion Exp.
Level 218 - 2,030 Billion Exp.
Level 219 - 2,091 Billion Exp.
Level 220 - 2,154 Billion Exp.

As you can see, it doesnt get harder, it just gets easier. Level 200-220 uses the same exp curve as level 180-200.

Edit:it seem to use the old lvl 190-200 exp curve past lvl 200 (pre big bang), still doesnt make it harder, 2,1b from lvl 219 to 220 is nothing compared to what kms exp curve is like.

A press release for "new" characters and "new" content, why? I was expecting an actually new dungeon because Nexon Europe and Nexon Japan are pretty cool about releasing exclusive stuff.

Welcome to the MapleStory world where World Tour areas will get replaced with "Theme Dungeon" no matter what you think. Sooner or later, nobody will have Kaede Castle or Future Tokyo/Neo Tokyo.

That is a hard truth to accept, but we all gotta move on.

maybe they're not that great like the original zones but I like them.... reward and exp wise
