That was insane…

July 6, 2012 Leave a comment

With recent information shedding new light on the so-called “criminal” Jett and wild rumors abounding in the streets, the citizens of Maple World wonder – what’s really true?  Who can you actually trust these days?  Well, who besides the hardworking staff at the Maple Times, Maple World’s most trustworthy news source, of course!

That was insanely fast. Patch notes please?

There isn’t really anything of interest here. Everything was already in the extractions by Fiel…

Oh hey.

But the return of Phantom is not the only big news this week! The newly discovered world of Renegades will soon be open for exploring by adventurous Maplers. There will be an all day, every day 2x EXP & Drop Event running from 7/9 to 7/22 on this new world, as well as a special new world quest event running from 7/10 to 7/17!

I really wouldn’t make a Phantom here, despite the bandanna or whatever. No adventurers that have 4th job skills and such. I guess you could wait a year for it to get merged, but… nah.

In other news I AM SO EXCITED FOR PHANTOM! Yay for vaugely explicit dialogue.

Too bad I have work monday. Ah well, I really don’t want to see this rush…

MapleStory Renegades~ v.112, and Nexon attempts competency.

You know, a new job has this odd tenancy to play hell with a blag. Anyway, back from the dead (again) with details on Maplestory’s summer update, Renegades! 

I always picture Hime playing a female Jett. Dunno why.

Back from the Dead! This does look exciting though. For people complaining about the lack of a Pirate Hero, I’d guess that there are two things behind that. First, someone involved in the Pirate quest mentions that Pirates use newer technology, so I imagine that’s why there isn’t really a Pirate Hero. Second, there seems to be a rash of region exclusive Pirate jobs, so KMS might even get their own.

Also, M.A.P.L.E. was right after all. Huh.

Orange Mushroom's Blog

The newest patch in Tespia has released the final hero, Luminous! This is a mage class and has a new weapon called the Shining Rod! This patch changes certain things about MapleStory!

EDIT: Ahhhh, finally done the post!

Domain change.

To keep a long story short, the blog’s domain was doing some catching up with me from a previous project, so I have changed it to avoid arguments.

The blog can now be found at “roughdrafted.wordpress.com”

Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience.

A message from Hime regarding Miwok Boys!

Hi all,
Got news the event will be adjusted correctly to the worlds with under 13 channels. Whether these worlds will have more channels or the full 20 will be addressed another time. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks for the info Hime!

Miwok Boys: I guess I’ll cover it.

The most annoying part of this is actually that I had to get on my Battle Mage.

Anyways! The Miwok boys event is pretty simple. At :05 and :35 minutes of every hour, you’ll get an invitation floating above your head to The Royal Wedding of Shining Armor and Princess Mi Amore Cad- wait, wrong event. Anyways. Accept the invitation, and you’ll be taken to a map where you have to do the hardest thing ever.

Kill monsters.

Yep. Just kill them, and collect the little Indian Boys they drop. I’m sorry; Native American boys. Also, destroying the smaller cage will force around 3 boys to drop. Killing the larger Tiger and using the key on the larger cage will let 8~ish boys drop.

Rewards copypasta’d from Nexon’s site.

In a group of around 9 level 80 characters, we got 70-90 boys, so not bad. I still would really like them to fix it though.

Miwok Boys Event! Good show Nexon.

I was pretty excited about the Miwok Boys Event. I mean, a chair, and a title?! Best event ever.

And it’s even somewhat interactive! Go Nexon!

And then… my dreams. Dashed in an instant. “You must move to Channel 18 to participate.”

:/

…okay…

On the somewhat happier note, I got the dang Magic Book Chair. Stupid Pie Boss.

MapleStory Dev Blog – A new character?!

April 14, 2012 3 comments

Some of you have seen MapleStory’s new Developer Blog, which can be found here. Mostly it talked about stuff such as the recent downtime and the Alliance Eternal Patches, as written by GM Michael (No relation to me, though I’d love to work for them).

One little tiny tidbit did catch my eye though…

Quote:

Summer is almost here, and we have so much in store for new and long-time MapleStory fans. Early May brings our Seventh Anniversary celebration. We’ll be providing details soon, but we can say that this is one anniversary party you won’t want to miss. Later in the same month will be a special treat for players who are long-time fans. We’ll have more information on this soon.

As we move into June, we’ll be ramping up towards our big summer content release. Not just one but two new characters will soon be joining the MapleStory cast. While you may have heard about the Phantom hero if you follow the news of Korean MapleStory, we’re also preparing a brand new hero that will be exclusive to Global MapleStory. I’ll be bringing you more news on our big summer updates in the near future.

Thank you again for your dedication, Maplers. We promise to provide you with an unmatched experience and lots of good times.

End Quote.

This more or less confirms a few things I’ve been guessing at, some in my favor, some in, well, less so.

First of all, GMS broke the Alliance Patch Series differently than KMS. The last three patches we’ve had, Alliance Rising, Unbound, and Eternal, were the forerunners to the Beginning of the Counterattack patch in KMS, which in turn led to Phantom and Aswan. GMS is pitching them separately, with the Thief/Pirate revamps, Phantom, and Aswan, presumably, coming after.

Second, this will be in the Summer patch, not as part of the Anniversary patch. Oh well.

Third, and this is most interesting, “we’re also preparing a brand new hero that will be exclusive to Global MapleStory“. 

I have no clue what to say. Other than, thankyounexonohmygoshyaynessholypomegranitethisiswhativealwayswanted. 

Ahem. Anyway, this is very, very, odd. GMS rarely does exclusive content, and rarely is it anything as complex as a class. First of all, I’d guess that it will not be a class that fits in with the established classes, so probably not the Pirate Hero, or the Thief Resistance class. Also, it’s probably not Mikhail. I hope. Second, I’d guess that it will probably be released to KMS, at some point. Probably not immediately, but still.

Either way, we should also be looking forward to some new, exciting events for the anniversary! I’m looking forward to my “Special Treat”. Do I get a date with Hime?

Anyway, that’s all for now! Have a great time with Alliance Eternal and the EXP events!

~Mike

P.S. If you make an Eric class for real I will fly down to Cali and slap you.

P.P.S. Michael is hot. I find it amusing that we have the same name.
