Just like LaTale

[quote=ox0Shad0w0xo]What's wrong with having more than one bossing skill? Plenty of other MMO's do it. I think maple is one of the only games where we use just one skill for a boss. If you think of it in a general MMO sense, then there's a lot they can do. More varied attacks, debuffs, and party buffs and skills to make each class unique like they used to be at first. There's so much to play off of if you think of it in terms of versatility rather than damage increases. Make it go back to needing different classes because they each bring their own specialties into the mix. Of course that may be giving Nexon too much credit, but point is, there's still a lot they can expand upon.[/quote]

[quote=Momijii]And that's not my point. Fourth job does [i]a lot[/i]. What can a fifth job contribute? Another bossing skill? Most ranged classes already have a Hurricane. Expert mastery? Aside from three or four classes, all expert mastery is given in fourth. More flat and percent damage increases? Well, there's one thing.

Fifth job at this point is almost redundant without shifting around skills.[/quote]

whats the point of level 250 period

[quote=squire7766]Well we're all assuming they'd keep Hyper skills starting at lv 140.

They could push them down and extend job levels to accommodate new skills per job. Though that would kind of defeat the purpose of lowering the job level req.[/quote]

@AugPirate i know they made a bad decision but that's how they do it

o and 2 hours ago on orangemushroom's blog said that theres an expansion to gate of the future like stronghold,future evree

twilight of perion has been released its like future henesys

but monsters exp is really bad they only give out 11k exp each
the boss stumpy in future perion gives 148k exp

nexon needs to make future perion a party play/increase monster exp
everyone wouldn't go there because of the low exp and no party play

[quote=Momijii]It would be silly to add another job after fourth job would be a better rationale. Fourth job already does so much for characters, so what can fifth job honestly bring?[/quote]

[quote=SpyShroom0]It would be pretty stupid to add a 5th job after Hyper Skills. Would every attack hit the whole map, every buff boost stats to their max?[/quote]

its possible but unconfirmed

in KMS they say after 200 you wont get any AP or SP
not sure about 5th jobs though

because hyper skills is enough already probably they'll make more skills for it
