Next Summer? What do they mean, Summer of 2014?

[Razmos]

Satellite what have you done. People on Basil think this is real.

[Coveral]

Such a coincidence those things always come out on April Fools day

It has been elevated to a thing of beauty then.

[Arrol]

Insoya did this, didn't they?

Now, now. It's not nice of you to spoil corporate jokes this early in the day.

[Arrol]

Well, this is why I shouldn't be on during April Fools.

Still, when's the DW test patch gonna come?

[SaptaZapta]

We used to think (or hope) that Mihile itself was an April 1st joke

How ironic that it's the Dawn Warrior, of all Cygnus classes, that gets the highlight now. I'm betting it'll be done at the same time as well.

I still like to think that it was.

Inkwells Diary Entry #56:

Maple Story Summer Content Spoilers!



Translation:

Spoiler

This Summer!

'Maple Story' will receive some game-changing updates during the spring and everything will conclude to a huge update next summer! I'll give you a few spoilers in this post!

Many players are enjoying revamped Striker and Wind Archer. Next up is Soul Warrior which we truly think you will love. Many players have been wondering what will happen to Mikhail. Mikhail class is going to get a revamp soon as well. It will also be the first SUPER-TIER Class and get legendary 5th job skills. Stay tuned for Blaze Wizard and Night Walker revamping as well! It's gonna be great!

Fifth job skills will also reach other classes next summer! But not more about that until later.

Thank you for playing maple story and stay tuned for something big coming soon!

I'd be actually okay with first 5th Job skills.

I've always wondered why people pick on Mihile so much. Is it simply because he is a job instructor? People always say "lazers" but most of his skill set is more original than most other classes. Plus, he also has a decent storyline which I enjoyed. Overall he is a light, fast and fun class to play. Not every class is meant to be mained and funded to insane levels.


Personally, I wish they would go on and release the other 4 Cygnus instructor simply because I would love to play their storylines.

It is simply because the class fills no need, bring nothing new to the table and feels like a carbon copy of Dawn Warrior. And the whole idea of a class master NPC being playable is just stupid. It s more true than ever with the KoC:s finally becoming something more than mules.

[Spadow]

I read it the letter but I knew it was fake. And, ''잉크 병'' lol.
Good job though.

Except that it does bring something new to the table. It brings an interesting storyline and a new type of playstyle.


Dawn Warriors and Mihiles share a few skills, but other than that Mihile is nothing like Dawn Warriors.

You can read Korean so you don't count

I was planning on just making a spoiler saying april fools but decided to go further than that.

A story can be told in different ways, we do not need to have 40960596049 or so classes to tell everything if the story is properly integrated into lore or otherwise officially published. Though Mihile is nothing like a Dawn Warrior he operates on the same basics as the other Warriors and is basically redundant in terms of bringing in new skills/functionality since what he can do is something most other warriors can do, and his lasers are of course already the domain of another.

Incidentally:

Not every class is meant to be mained and funded to insane levels.

Is not applicable to Mihile, at least not at SEA currently. My world's top Dark Knight has a Mihile with about 80k range and he says his Mihile performs a lot better than his Dark Knight. It's just that most people don't bother funding Mihile since you can't use his Crash to stack with another Magic Crash and Rage becomes a party buff one patch after.

we've been over this f3

[Curtiss]

we've been over this f3

Yup, but Meta was arguing that Mihile is fun to play, is fast and not every class needs to be funded to enjoy it to which my counter-argument is that the factors behind Mihile's unpopularity have nothing to do with him being weak.

Incidentally, I do like the story quite a bit but let's not say that Nexon would dedicate entire classes to storylines without milking opportunities. That's silly so I'd prefer if they wove the individual stories into one grand tale.
