And now we know for sure...

See, this is why [sarcasm] tags are a good idea ;)

With another new class coming I hope they raise the max number of character slots from 15 to 18 in this update...

We're gonna need more than 18 with all the new classes they're creating.

Maybe Nexon America will follow Nexon JP's lead and expand the character cap to 24, if they haven't already.

Why is it people hate this class again?

Because it's a clone of two already existing classes, serves no point to the story and is completely dull and pointless.


Oh, and lasers.

Yet no one hated dawn warriors who are basically a clone or any of the other cyguns knights oh wait, I mean clones of their respective classes. It's the story of how one of the chief knights got to his position they should finish it out but that would seem relevant to the story. Lasers so I take it you hate the new buccs and any other class with em

[icephoenix21]

Couldn't they spare us this travesty of a class?

The link skill is somewhat useful to classes that have no stance or avoid, though.

It'll make my solo times for certain bosses better, that's for sure..damn that right horntail head :(

Okay guys, the caps lock was in place for sarcasm purposes. Mikhail was assumed to be KMS exclusive because of silly assumptions. So I was jokingly indicating that JMS may not be exclusive and will see it soon. We know this isn't a possibility unless KMS adopts it at one point (read: my assumption).

Now continue with your shenanigans

I thought people knew everything from kMS will get transferred to the other versions. :/

[byakugan]

Threatened? I hope you're kidding. Anyone maining an Adventurer these days knows their class will never be "strongest" again.
And yes, I do dislike Mikhail, intensely, for being based on a ludicrous premise. I don't care about yet another overpowered class, but it does bother me when they take an NPC and turn it into a class, especially when that class doesn't even fit the NPC's part in the game.
They should have just gone and discovered another continent, or planet, and put this brilliant new idea for a warrior there.

The way I see it, Mikhail was just the pilot in a project of revamping the Cygnus Knights. They probably were testing how changing it from recruits to the actual captains as the center of the Cygnus branch would adapt to the game and if it could work. If they never continue with this project I consider there is no one to blame for it other than the players which jumped out instantly to scream it sucks without giving it some thought.

That was because they came out when people were not fed up with new classes and because at that time, Cygnus Knights fulfilled a purpose. It is the same thing with the Resistance, other than Demon Slayer they fullfill no purpose in game, not even storywise but at the time they came out, people were still not fed up with new classes so they wouldn't complain. Heck, some of them share a lot of elements with other jobs or stole concepts that could have made the other jobs great and yet no one gave a pineapple. If they came out today, people would sh1t all over them.

Nexon JP increased it to 24? Had not heard that, nice. Yes it would be great if NexonAm did that too.

[Kuraitou]

I'm fairly indifferent to Mihile, but more link skills are always nice. I'll probably replace my Dawn Warrior with one since I don't know anyone who wants to help me kill CK Arkarium.

Maybe Nexon America will follow Nexon JP's lead and expand the character cap to 24, if they haven't already.

That would be nice. I didn't know other versions already expanded the cap; that's an encouraging sign as I'll soon fill in the last 2 slots on my account.

Yay lasers! (for the record I hate having to use lasers on all my pirates now. It's so un pirate-y (Mechanic, cannoneer, buccaneer, thunder breaker) D:)

in addition to the good point that was argued in another poster who quoted you, Mihile really isn't necessary at all. It gives EVERYTHING a cygnus knight does PLUS it can get to 200. So why would anyone in their right mind make a cygnus knight for? Variety? We have that already. The plan for me is to now make a mihile in a different character slot, train it to level 100-120, then completely delete my thunder breaker because this character gives my other characters cygnus blessing, a link skill, cygnus echo, ability to create a UA, and a significantly better character card that isn't limited to A rank.

And if I recall, people did go "OMGwtp IS THIS" when Cygnus knights were released in KMST. I believe a lot of people thought that cygnus knights were a blatant ripoff of all the other classes, but that was mainly because there were only those adventurer classes in game. People over-looked it because the knights served the purpose of giving a separate buff to their main character.

blergh, i don't want to go through that whole thing again, i'm strongly debating whether i want stance or not.

Just going to point out that the Cygnus Knights were hyped up as Maple Story's "easy mode" classes, not as original and innovative classes. They were released back when getting to level 120 was a huge deal that took at least a year or two for casual players. People liked the idea of being stronger and getting skills early along with getting more AP upon level up.

[Zerard]

One after another. I'm calling October for Warrior reorganization.

[Takebacker]

Why is it people hate this class again?

People who don't have a warrior already hate the class just because it represents the butchering of a storyline or some s'hit. Just because it's a class of an NPC/boss, which creates inconsistencies for when you for example...try and kill empress.

For me, i just don't care about it because it creates buffer between now and the cannoneer revamp.

[Arrol]

Don't your Stance gets upgraded to 100% the next buff after Mihile?

[ShinkuDragon]

Don't your Stance gets upgraded to 100% the next buff after Mihile?

yea, but i mean for every other class, one of my main gripes on my other chars is the horrible lack of stance.

[Icho]

At least this also proves that Tempest is December / Janurary ...Gonna go on hiatus until then like every other year

[PeePeeAyeDeeKay]

Does anyone happen to know if Mikhail's Stance link is dispellable? Didn't make one in KMS back when you still could =/


Doesn't seem that great IMO. It's mostly a Hero + DS with lasers to me. I don't hate it, I just think it's not a well designed class.

[Moonlapse]

I'm not expecting any new content that I would be interested in for at least 6 months (that includes Tempest as well). Just an onslaught of low level areas and new pineappleing classes.

i don't like mikhail because he's a pineappleing instructor.

Spoiler

it's not really inconsistent, just confusing until you get the quest done. it just proves further what Shinsoo says to you

i GUESS i'll get it for BM stance

[Ouchiess]

Their facebook post said the same thing but included this image:

OMG WHO COULD IT POSSIBLY BE?


They even used the same image kNexon did like 6 months ago.
