Fiel Wrote:Yes, Afrobean, but did they use Leafre or Showa or English Town like... five times in a row? This isn't the first time we've seen pirate graphics on an ad like this.

Sn1perJohnE Wrote:Yea, theres been a lot of use of pirates items, more than any other area for an unrelated thing, my guess is still in august for the release, if not september, I cant really think of a major holiday in those two months that would have an event, so they seem logical to me if they release them this year. Who knows, maybe theyll give us a X-mas present ala Pirates

Afrobean Wrote:Holiday you say? Like Talk like a Pirate day?

September 19th.

Afrobean Wrote:I agree, but this one has nothing to do with anything.

The other graphics they've used can be explained away. They used the NPC with the telescope because it was about spotting bugs. They used the octopus in the water because it's summer. They used the dock graphic because it's summer.

But why did they use the two Pirates in the ship? Because TCG? Because a winner was chosen? It doesn't make a lick of sense.

ZartMorder Wrote:Don't count on it. Showa monsters were probably modified because they depicted modern weapons while the pirate class uses old fashioned guns. Which is a child more likely to come across these days? (Hopefully neither. >_<)

Yet have we got singapore?No(although the NPC's an mobs being in data blew out my therory >.>)

Afrobean Wrote:Well, they did also remove other weapons, weapons that Maplers themselves can actually use (such as the Brick or the sword). This means the defining factor is the enemies using these weapons against the players, not the weapons themselves.

Another change they made is that the enemies aren't actually human. The enemies are monsters in disguise. In jMS, they're literally murdering human gangsters, but in gMS, we're defeating monsters who are masquerading as humans.

So therefore, the problem is that they
#1: don't like the enemies using as menacing weapons as that, even ones Maplers can use themselves.
#2: don't want Maplers killing humans.

The gunner Pirate subclass doesn't suffer from either of these things. Obviously.

ps as Berserk said via proxy of Loose's post, it's not needed. In fact, Berserk's own post quoted a thorough explanation by Isaac that pointed out that the quests relating to the connection would be played first through Nautilus before reaching the higher level quests at Magatia.
