MapleStory 5th Job

Well with the lack of classes coming out, I assume 5th job should be announced/released sometime at the end of this year. It's literally the only thing that can bring people back at this point. Thoughts?

[quote=Exodus203]p2w has never been a problem with this game, its simply an excuse created by the lazy to explain why they are that way.
5th job has also been spectated as a possibility for new content since 2 months after 4th job came out.
Yes its possible we may get 5th job , but unless there has been new patch notes or a nexon staff member going public on the matter I would rather waste my time thinking about something else.

And for anyone who thinks maple is dying, Look at 2x events and miracle time. every half second there was someone getting the blessing from mirc. On average, at least for myself, I get a legendary 1 time per 10 cubes. That means all those people have spent ~10$ so multiply 7200 by 10$. Thats how much maple makes off scania in 1 hour of miracle time.[/quote]

KMS has officially anounced that they plan on releasing a 5th job in the future. But they haven't given a timetable for it, so we know its coming, just not when. And the game has had a P2W problem for a very long time. Ever since cubes came out we have had a P2W problem, and Unleashed made it 50 times worse

I kind of thought 5th job had already been announced but judging by everyone else's replies maybe I'm making that up.

don't jinx it.
The only thing that can revive people is fixing the glitches and lag. Nexon fixed quite a bit of stuffs with Black Heaven patch, and the game isn't as laggy as before either.

[quote=NaakteShadow]Ehh I doubt it.
If they are smart they add some good content before everyone quits..
Or make the game less p2w [/quote]

[quote=Lamato]While the idea of a 5th job coming out would be great news, the real problem is the lack of end-game content. What good is having a 5th job when we can already breeze through all of the content as of right now? There should be more things to do for end-game besides 2m2m Dorothy solos or else 5th job won't have as much meaning.[/quote]

I think that will come with time, they first raised the cap to 250 so people who used to enjoy the slow grind could do it, and gave them plenty of time to enjoy it, the next steps will probably be first 5th job to make 200-250 somewhat meaningful for normal players and then expect them to lower the exp curve for 200-250 after 5th job, along with new 200+ content.

They won't add 200-250 content when only a few are willing to put up with the grind, not until most of the playerbase can get there.

So raise cap (already happened) > 5th job > low exp curve > new 200-250 content is what I'm expecting.

5th job would probably be lame and disappointing so I hope we never get it.

I don't think 5th job will necessarily tempt people to come back. People just aren't as interested in MMORPGs as much as MOBAs.

I don't think the lack of new classes means fifth job is coming. I think that's just Nexon realizing that people aren't as willing to buy into new classes anymore. Not to mention there's very little room left for classes.

It wont come at the end of the year, prob 2 months with Creation 12.
