Why Cygnus Is Full of "Deceit and Lies"

disclaimer: i.. don't know if anyone has made an official thread declaring the reason but if there is or something stating why or goes way more into depth, please do delete this sherries

ANYWAY! if you've been wondering why cygnus goes bad or trying to find some sort of solace or the purge of reason for them... or just plain lazy, I read walls of text and went through numerous blogs just to find an excerpt:

"In the future, Empress Cygnus became interested in the World Tree, so eventually she went to search for this phenomenon.

The Empress and her knights succeeded in searching for the World Tree, but... they fell into a trap by the Black Magician. He took the soul of Empress Cygnus and her knights and made them into his puppets.

Because of this curse by the Black Magician, the island of Ereb?(the cygnus floating island) lost its holy power and descended to earth. There, Empress Cygnus and her knights started to attack Maple World..." - Spadow

wish i just looked on spadow's blog first haha..anyway. >n>

[quote=GreenKilla]Maybe the lvl 120 knights are captured and are rebirthed into a UA turning them good?
But not a true rebirth since you will still have your cygnus char intactt,

Who knows Nexon will surely come up with some bullcrap story explanation[/quote]

well also if you get your ck to lv 120 blessing of fairy will become 24 instead of getting an explorer to 200 for a 20 blessing

anyways im not sure if ua's will really have any significance to any storyline, i think its more like "congrats, you fully played the demo...so full char + bonus content " lol

[quote=crappyme]Out of curiosity, how do you think they'd link UA's with KoC's going evil? Since UA's are linked to an evil KoC but the UA itself is good?[/quote] an adventurer traveled to the future and found a crappy world, and when they came back warned everybody, so some existant CKs didn't want that destiny for them and quit the CK path.
idk? ._.

[quote=blaze1928]hmm, evil characters, i wonder how that would work. it would be pretty sick if other adventurers could challenge us or dual us, or something along those lines, cuz KoC or evil and everyone else is good. thats probably the one thing maplestory is missing, some sort of pvp. i know its not gonna happen, but still, its a pretty sick thought [/quote]
well maple is adding a pvp feature.. except noone but db wins since it's all about points and hits

anway cygnuses i think are still awesome soul taken or not.
but i think this only applies to the chief knights and the empress + shinsoo.. so i'm not sure about player cygs

[quote=MidnightDark]Guys, get your facts in order, Ultimate adventurers will be released with the Van Leon Castle, and then, when Maple Chaos comes, the Cygnus Knights will become evil.[/quote]
The actual Cygnus classes are not becoming 'evil', this is just a new expansion set in the future.

probably UAs are kocs that felt they could no longer follow or pledge allegiance to her?

@osiel66: woo do you know how sweet that would sound? "it took over a year...but we did it...the empress is dead." lol except i wouldn't like they would have to have absolutely no life to be hacking away at a boss's hp for a year lol

[quote=Liam]i think so... but uhm. yes that's the future lol
Empress Cygnus in the future is referred as "Cygnus". She is Lv. 190 and has a HP value of 1,000,000,000 and gives 204,000,000 EXP.
Once you enter the boss map, there will be a cooldown on every consumable item you use. lol[/quote]

Colldown? Theyre making new challenges seeing as how GMS already used its exploits and hacked 1000 attack weapons to turn pink bean into a casual boss. The same one that took other versions of ms without these exploits over a year to kill.
