[KMST] KMST 1.2.425 - Mikhail

[Worthyness]

anyone know if they can level up the empress blessing too? Cause the only reason a person would make a cygnus knight now is if they want easy mode or if they want maxed empress blessing. but if these new knights can do everything that a cygnus can do, then there's no actual point in them staying in the game besides riding on a mini shinsoo and the half echo of the hero.

That black screen is the proof it's an april fool joke...

want to continue this new class? BUY NX TODAY!

[ScottPilgrim]

I'm looking forward to it still, I think we need more classes.

[Razmos]

Well if they are rushing this one out so fast, maybe the next 4 cygnus instructors will come by the end of April.

~One can hope~

I mean it's not like this thing is the pinnacle of originality. right.

There's over 22 classes in this game, counting Explorer castes. I'm amazed there are people who still isn't satisfied.

I won't be happy unless there is a character select screen like this:

I might have missed some, but we have....27 classes? Not including Mikhail. That's not enough? What would be sufficient for you then? 40? 50? 100? When do you draw the line? I say 5 classes ago.

You're the kind of person I hate, the kind that always peaches that old maple is better, I like new content and changes, if you don't like what Nexon is doing, quit and get off of a MAPLESTORY fan forum.

I never said Old Maple was better. Don't talk about what you don't know. In fact, I'm one of the first people to say that outside of Potential, MapleStory is significantly better than it used to be.

Stop making wild accusations based on unrelated commentary. There are too many classes. That has nothing to do with "Old Maple is Better" talk.

As someone said earlier, we're not stopping until we're like LoL!

[Dark Link]

Nevermind...


MP 40 소비, 180초간 방어력 100%, 상태이상 내성 60%, 모든 속성 내성 60% 증가
100% Def + 60% Status resistance. And something else.

영구적으로 20.0% 피해 감소
20% Less damage taken.

I'm quitting my Paladin once this class is here. I'm sorry to whine so much about it.
I dont like it that much that there's another holy class.. but I dont mind it that much really.
but they seem to have almost the same defensive capabilities of a Paladin. + Better attacks + Faster + More exp.
+ 10% exp increase + A Lv 120 blessing + a lot more.

-sob-
;_;

Mikhail has the "Defensive" status of a Demon Slayer and does a gazillion more DPM than all other warriors.
I'm starting to think Nexon is turning Paladins into "Tanky Supports".

New classes are nice, but we've been getting more classes than we do anything else. What's the point of enjoying the class if you're just going to play the same way you did with your other characters?

We can rather use more areas and dunegons instead of new classes, which a lot of people preach. If you want more classes, go find another MMO that fits your fancy.

Depends Flip. The KoC quest line could contribute things to the story and we still have a summer patch ahead of us. These classes seem to be just a way to put more input about the empress and her knights since KoC do a pretty cheesy job at it and Cygnus is an important figure.

This pretty much. There are many people here saying this class doesn't make sense at all. Well let me say, Empress Cygnus is the ruler of the whole MapleWorld and the pillar of the resistance against the Black Mage, where the heck is the sense of an army composed of chickens and people that's half as weak as a bunch of nobodies from a tiny island?. Just get over it, this change was pretty expected. I even agree this class isn't very original and that MS has way too many classes, but that should have been said when the resistance branch was added, which is completely unecessary.

Now all this job needs is to replace Dawn Warriors, reduce their damage a bit and take the 10% exp bonus out, and it will SET. Then hopefully people can stop crying.

[Yorckie]

As many stated; be welcomed this randomness if its replacing the generic knights.

Kind of actually like Mikhail, even with the lazor and weengs, but he's kicking up Pallies and Bishes sorta-pseudo-holy-uniqueness, he looks even more saintish than us... D:, which makes me think another revamp for adventurers is coming. Like we didn't expect it.

[kimicatdemon]

So this will be hitting the real servers on Thursday apparently.....

[shouri]

So... I'm doubting this will be a replacement for DWs.... seeing as how he has NO COMBO ATTACK or advanced combo attacked.

Try and remember how stupidly weak your DW is without combo/adv combo attack, then maybe a BIT of the peaching will stop.


Or am i THAT blind that I missed those two skills?

Edit: ((Argument applicable only up to a certain level of course due to the level cap difference. Furthermore, this is mainly to point out a power discrepancy between the classes DW & Mikhail and how a direct comparison of "it's like DW but with better skills" is just a weee bit off~))

I agree with this wholly. At first I was a little confused about another class, but then I kind of thought of it as more of a story extender, and not just another class. If it's just a way to open up the story more and expand on it, then to be honest I'm looking forward to seeing the other instructors as well.

I like the new classes they keep adding. I picture it all as one big story, and making each character just teaches you how that person fits into the story. n____n

[Moonlapse]

Worst idea ever.

[Endgame]

So..... Lil' Cygnus' plan to defeat the Black Mage is to recruit farm boys to be her lead knights?

.....

See, this is why little girls should not be given positions of power. Royal bloodline or not.

Plus, after beating Eleanor, who turned the instructors to stone, while my now obsolete Dawn Warrior had to save the day, isn't my now obsolete Dawn Warrior supposed to have the same rank as Mihile? I mean, he got turned to stone, I didn't and saved the day. And now it turns out he's more powerful than my Dawn Warrior.

This is the problem with making NPCs into playable characters.

And I was skeptical on the whole "Speigelmann is the Black Mage" theory, I was pretty sure that the Black Mage would turn out to be a bunny, given all the bunnies in the Black Wings. But after seeing that mirror..... I'm a believer.

[ChosenFruit]

One thing I don't mind about there being "new classes all the time" is that they've been making em all limited time.
So it's not like the character creation screen's gonna be cluttered with characters all the time.
Even if Mikhail doesn't end up replacing DWs, they'll only be creatable for a short time, I'm sure (being that all previous link skill classes have been like that).
Plus, you never know what class could turn out to feel perfect for you, even if they reuse things here and there, the combination of skills together could be juuuuust right for somebody~

The only problem I see with having so many classes is that whenever a new class with a link skill comes out, it seem too good to pass on. That could be bothersome for people who don't like owning a bunch of characters, but also feel that if they don't make all of em, they'll be "left behind" by not attaching their link skills to their main.

(=S Plus, I'm running out of character space here! They need to increase the max character slot past 15 =[ I don't have room for another branch of classes T^T)

@HelloTony That too! Every new class adds to the full story of the game. There's still plenty I'd love to know about~
