How hard could the Black Mage be?
When you think about it... it only took 5 level 200 characters to beat him the first time (at their own expense). So if we ever even get to fight him again he really couldent be that hard since an expedition could have so many more people than 5
(EDIT: Forgot about Demon Slayer! so i guess that makes a full party of 6 even though the 5 hero's didint realize what DS did...)
Yet i am sure Nexon will give some bad reason that makes him even stronger than he was in his past even though all the heros went back to level 1.
How hard do you guys think he will be (saying that if he ever becomes a boss)

I thought that they didnt really beat him, just stopped him. Luminous was only able to seal the black mage.
They should make it like CWKPQ except this it what happens:
There will be 3 groups: Cygnus knights Explorers and Heroes. The Demon slayer will go with the Cygnus Knights since they might need it.
Heroes: The heroes main goal is to defeat the Black Mage with even of the cost of their lives. Once he is defeated he must be sealed with the Black Gem failure to do so will result in him reviving with 25% hp.
Explorers : The explorers are the ones who will take out Black Mage's Commanders. Upon defeating the commanders you acquire Peace of The Lost Gem. Gather all and u get the black Gem which you then must give to the heroes
Cygnus Knights: (Since they only have a cap of 120 when entering the pq they will become really strong). These are the ones who will take out all the minions and protect the heroes. It might not be enough so a Demon Slayer may accompany them. Cygnus must stay good until the Black Mage is sealed she is the one who will keep the Black Gem safe
There would be 2-3 actions for each group depending on each groups role.
1. Surviving and or Protecting
2. Jump Quest
3. Summoning
Losing for heroes will result in a cut scene where you all fly of in your own iceberg at lvl 1 for 5minutes. Upon revival you WILL be LEVEL 200
Losing for explorers will result in the commanders trapping you in cage where you must break out. The mininum time you must wait before you break out should be 5minutes.
Losing for cygnus knights result in the Empress going evil (again). When this happens she must be defeated before you can enter the previous map.
I know it seems like the expedition might be hard to form especially in un populated servers but the Black mage was hard to fight and not everyday someone was challenging him.
As for what the black mage does its this :
"50 Billion HP
Seduce, Seal, Darkness, Constant Damaging, Stun, Weaken and Zombie debuffs.
One half of the time using cancel weapon attacks, the other half using cancel magic attacks.
Uses damage reflect around every 10% hp decrease.
Once he has only 20% Hp decrease he regenerates 5% back.
Has a skill that pushes everyone to the edge of the screen
Spams 1/1
Massive touch damage
-Starts out with a barrier around him that has max hp. After you "kill" the barrier, it develops a few cracks and changes color to show it's weaker.
-After killing the barrier 3 times then you can start dealing damage to him.
-He does different dark magic that hits multiple times.
-Can inflict DoT's
-When he gets to 20% hp he starts casting a spell while teleporting around the map, if you don't deal enough damage to him in time he will finish his spell and recover all of his hp.
-When he gets to 5% hp he will cast a powerful aoe attack that deals 999k damage(can be avoided with smokescreen, holy magic shell, etc.)
Sorry if i didnt quote :O
As for what he drops is listed below
Heroes: Darkness Tier Equipment Lvl 200 ONLY HEROES CAN EQUIP THIS
Explorers: Royal Comanders Equipment. ONLY EXPLORERS CAN EQUIP THIS.
Cygnus Knights: A cutscene will be shown where someone talks about how they raided the armory and found some Royal Knight Tier Equipemnts. ONLY CYGNUS KNIGHTS CAN USE THIS
they should put cut scenes during the fight or atleast mini clips. the fight should be cinematic and you have to have atleast 1 of each hero to fight along with you.
The expedition should be 190+ or higher if they raise the level cap.
Yes.
@Koncept: hey that sounds kinda nice really. Could make for a fun experience...

so... he's a chaos pink bean, but with less hp then?
[quote=Playmatey]Maybe, when you defeat the black mage you can rebirth into a different hero class starting at level 1 with like a few skills from your old class jaja[/quote]
that already exsist in a PS
ok..if black mage can get empress that strong..he can just.. a flick of a finger to destroy empress.
[quote=LazerDragonz]It'd be cool if they implemented a bonus in attack if you fought him with only the original 5 heroes.[/quote]
Or if we have 5 heroes who hit damage cap and just have them go at it.
24/7 reflect 2.1b hp revive every 10 secounds, potential killer every 2 secounds for 1 minute, 4th job skills doesnt work
@superomosh: that would be nice if they raised it... but the highest they could raise it to would be like 2.3B somthing
The black mage should be something like:
-Starts out with a barrier around him that has max hp. After you "kill" the barrier, it develops a few cracks and changes color to show it's weaker.
-After killing the barrier 3 times then you can start dealing damage to him.
-He does different dark magic that hits multiple times.
-Can inflict DoT's
-Single's out players that are a "threat" and deals single target attacks that deal massive damage(will show sign's that it's about to happen)
-When he gets to 20% hp he starts casting a spell while teleporting around the map, if you don't deal enough damage to him in time he will finish his spell and recover all of his hp.
-When he gets to 5% hp he will cast a powerful aoe attack that deals 999k damage(can be avoided with smokescreen, holy magic shell, etc.)
-Drops 10% legendary potential scrolls(instant legendary pot if it passes) and other godly items that don't exist yet.

In tutorials/cutscenes that make you enter the past and stuff, Demon Slayer and I think some of the Heroes use Empress weapons (which doesn't really make sense but okay)

the 5 heroes are more oriented towards the story rather than actually 5 level 200s beating him...
[quote=ProBlades]Max mob hp is equal to max meso, 2.1b(slightly over, but you get my point).
OT:He needs to be like a pq all his own, where different groups(classes) fight different versions of him, and if all are defeated the entire expedition can face the final form.[/quote]
Kind of like the Guild Pq? That's what i was thinking when i was reading your comment.
He had 100-200 years to recover, while some of them have only had 3 days to recover, with aran having like a year, i guarantee hes goint to have over 20 forms with 2bil hp each.
@RandomDudeGuy: Rofl oops. I'll edit that scumbag into my post right now
Now that I think about it. The Heros never Actually (Defeated) the black mage. They simply sealed him when he was weakened.
So maybe if he comes out as a boss you would actaully have to Kill him which word be a completely different rating of Difficulty...
I guess only time will tell

instead of 50billion HP how bout you fight him 2-4 times and each having 2.1billion HP and each time you kill him he gets stonger ?
I actually don't think the Black Mage is coming. Knowing Nexon, they'd probably add another 5 heroes and change the story completely.
I personally think it's going to be like Cygnus runs except harder.
First you'll be fighting the 8 commanders one by one:
-Orca, Lutus, Magnus, Guwaru, VL (Yes again), Hilla (Yes again), Arkarium (Yes, again)
Then you'll fight all 8 at once
Then you can Fight Black Mage
There should be some modes:
-Hero mode: Only the 5 heroes can fight BM in this mode. DS can also be part of the group seeing he was some sort of 'hero' too
-Free mode: All classes can fight BM. No limits.
psh give him a few days and he'll be solo'd in less than 5 minutes

I laughed way harder than I should have.
[quote=Devastation]If we lose we all go back to level 1 :x[/quote]
And banned for a hundred years.
uh , the black mage defeated 4 heros and a DS , only luminous was able to seal him. and lets assume they all have max funding.
well 1) demon slayer guy weakened him
2) aran, ds, and presumably the rest had max ranges (since in the tutorial you hit max with your reg attack)
3) they didn't beat him
but then again they didn't have a bishop o3o
He's gonna be so brutal, he would pick up one your party members and beat the rest of the team with him/her
Account gets banned after you get hit
Stronger then chaos empress.
le black mage upgrades to 64 bit. GG.

@tkirsch: then they better raise that dmg cap cuz i kno ppl who would be hittin 9,999,999 per hit. sadly...LOL
All those characters: Mercedes, Aran, Phantom, Luminous, and Evan. They're all gonna be nerfed (besides aran and evan). They weren't nerfed at that time, but they will be now.
The five heroes could only seal him
and he should be stronger than chaos pb at least
chaos pb has like 60b hp
if black mage ever comes out, def. needs pot cooldown, attacks hitting much more than that of other bosses, be annoying as hell, DR, and ofc, amazing drops in which will deflate after a while of hackers constantly taking him down
@ProBlades: Oh, didn't know. =P

@MagiBombchu: Fun?
In maplestory?
I'm sorry I don't think I understand what you are saying.
@superomosh: knowing nexon since they hinted on raising the level cap... then it should be easy since in like 7months we might potentialy be able to go past 200...

or probably harder...
He is black

It'd be cool if they implemented a bonus in attack if you fought him with only the original 5 heroes.
