I hope these new Neburite have better chances of upgrading rank and are more easily tradeable between players, that way the power won't be concentrated on the hands of those who spend more NX. Also hoping it's not so hard to get good ranked ones from the monsters/PQ (because getting Epic/Unique potential from a clean item is nearly impossible =P).

The gfa quest hasn't been changed. It's still available.

thank you I'm glad it is still there... because I was feeling kinda lazy to do it... because you know it's the before patch effect
when it happens I lose all the motivation to play the game until the update itself

[Polantaris]

Potential 2.0(Insert Official name instead, if you so choose) and Potential Lock.

Two more reasons to avoid GMS.

The actual content doesn't look too bad though.

[Corazon]

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

It could also be a representation of America, and the fact that we're thinking of the end of days in 12/21/2012. By who? We don't know. Nexon seems to think that aliens'll do it.

I do know there's talk of rebel militias hustling around in the south - maybe a sign of America's eventual downfall? Not that that has anything to do with the subject at hand though.

[Kizo]

Great. They release positive chaos scrolls after I chaosed my shoulder which went down in att :S

Positive chaos scroll is untradeable & part of the stamp event; one per char. Unless there's a cashshop version.

Capture the Flag also went to the Chinese version of MapleStory - perhaps Taiwanese too.


The way MapleStory is nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised that any version with Masteria the way it is in GMS before this upcoming patch will eventually get this.

Did the players at CMS complain how CTF pineapple up the whole PvP system?

[Shinryuji]

Hey, just informing you all. I found extractions that looks like Soul Weapons in the patch.



Can't find more on the skill.wz

What's a Soul Weapon?

[danielcatu]

wait why is pico there?

[VerrKol]

Because he is adorable?

[danielcatu]

Because he is adorable?

What's a Soul Weapon?

Soul Weapons are the new special scroll that's currently JMS exclusive. It consists of two parts:
1) A Spirit Scroll
2) A Boss Spirit Orb

The first is a 10% chance, with no splatting if it fails. If it succeeds, your weapon then has the ability to drain souls from monsters when you kill them. Every 100 gives a small attack buff, to 1,000 souls. With 1,000 souls, you get 10% of your attack added on to your weapon (It's been broken since inception in JMS though, after a while the buff breaks and stops working, the only way to fix it is to induce a reduction in the souls then bring it back up).

The second is a 25% chance, fail = 100% chance your weapon is broken. It requires that your weapon has a succeeded spirit scroll already. When you have 1,000 souls on your weapon, you can activate the orb for the various effects (Somewhat readable in the screenshot Arrg posted). Basically every boss has an orb, with various effects.

I don't see the orbs nor the spirit scrolls in the Consume extraction data, so I assume it's not officially implemented yet. Familiars and Spirit Weapons were together in the same patch in JMS, though, so I'm kind of surprised they haven't implemented by now.

[ShinkuDragon]

i'm not, they can pass it as new content whenever their ideas run short (not saying that's bad btw)

I like how the Yeti-sphinx is just gone(from the world map), is it still in the city, or did the aliens abduct it for research?

[0^2]

The new music reminds me of Ratchet&Clank. Compare NLCtown to this...

Spoiler

The boss theme sounds like this...

mixed with this.

Don't forget the path to the right of the new Alien place.

Lmao, yeah.

[Avior]

Don't forget the path to the right of the new Alien place.



Lmao, yeah.

If that path went to underground, i think the other will go underwater.
that's only a guess.

[EternalRain]

well, that's what those innocence scrolls are for! nexon thought of everything here.

shield+chaos your stuff, it fails? innocence it!, once it's good, enhance it!

only thing they missed, was the dupers duping WS and protections up the wazoo.
<inb4 those get fixed this patch, and removed.>

No, I think Nexon released these new Cash items just BECAUSE there was this much duping. Shielding Ward sales and Protect Scroll sales are going to suck, obviously. What to do? Release a "PERFECT INNOCENCE SCROLL" (this is a better deal than buying 5 20% Innocences) and a "Guardian Scroll" <-This is useless.
And because, most likely, Shielding Ward sales are going to go down, they pulled a half-assed idea of a "Nebulite augument system" and tagged an "Alien invasion" as justification to implement the new Potential 2.0 system.

I highly doubt they'll remove WS and Protections. They've never wiped duped anything, besides equips. And even if they did, the damage was already done, so there's little point.

Actually they did remove some exploited Chaoses at some point.
But yeah, I doubt they'd remove anything now.

[Celan]

wait why is pico there?

Why are Amoria-NPCs kidnapped by NLC Aliens?
Same question.


Anyway, I belive Nexon thought "we might make them give a think about what that new weapon class is! They'll never find out it will be the canes from Phantom!"
Nexon, MONTHS before you, MONTHS.
