@Deadly1337: Fool? What is it that I wrote that makes me a fool?
Is it because I went against what you said that makes me a fool?
Thumbs up for you, sir!
"a boss that cant be defeated until all 5 heros are brought together is literally what legends and story or lore dream of you fool."
So basically you're agreeing with me?
Nexon wouldn't need to release a boss to get people excited for a new class, even if that new class was needed in order for that boss to be defeated.
Honestly, do you see what you're writing?
Tespia was made so players could test things out before they were released into the actual server.
Do you mean to tell me that you think Nexon will add an unbeatable boss to the real server, just so people can test it out?
Logic, it's everywhere.

Looked at Magnus and saw Kid Icarus all over it.
I mean he even has a club.

sfisngidfghdsfh Confusing story. LOL[/quote]

Well you see, the other 4 heros never really liked the Pirate hero for being so late and rude most of the time. But they kept him around because he would always bring the Keg to the party, and often drove a car-boat that could seat all 5 members comfortably. After he heard that this 4 friends had fallen to the black mage again, he decided to have a house warming party with Kyrin and the Cannon Shooter.

It would be stupid of Nexon to release the Strongest, most notorious boss in the game before they released the fifth and final hero.
If anything, maybe it's the past-version of the Black Mage, and they'll release another form of him later on, which could be equivalent to a Chaos form. o:[/quote]

I've played Beta KMS, heres the story.

The 5 heros were good friends, but the Pirate Hero always came late to parties, gatherings, get togethers, etc. So now, after 4/5 of the heros revived, they figured that the Pirate hero would be late. So they then decided to take on the black mage without the pirate hero. Unfortunately, they werent strong enough, and got sealed again. Now, the pirate hero awakens, and has to wait for all his fallen comrades to reawaken. Maple story 2!

The second coming of jesus

@Deadly1337: If the Black Mage was defeated by all five heroes, then how does it make "perfect sense" for Nexon to add him as a boss before the fifth hero is released? Also, how does allowing players to "twist and alter the storyline" make sense [b]at all[/b]? All that would do is contradict the storyline. Therefore, that would make absolutely no sense. Also, you're making it sound as if Nexon is going to make the Black Mage boss exclusively for Hero classes. Although Nexon has its stupid moments, I doubt they would be stupid enough to do that. It sounds like you expect Nexon to release the Black Mage for however long, and have it be an unbeatable boss. Then, after a month or so of the Black Mage already being released, they'll add the Pirate Hero. That would mean that the Black Mage is available to fight, but impossible to beat. [b]Why would any gaming company release a boss that's impossible to beat?[/b] Sure, they can make it a challenge, but impossible =/= challenge

and why not? makes perfect sense to release a boss that cant be defeated without all 5 heros, it'l allow you to twist and alter the storyline to allow you to make some dramatic entrance for he final hero, it'l give players a sense of just how strong the black mage is and the posiibilities of the fight

Eeeeeeeeeeek! *faints*

Seriously, so glad to see the Black Mage. I bet people are going to be hack-hack-hackin' to get those new gears.

Another note, I'm calling it now. The commander of destruction is Demon Slayer's bro.

Where the hell is Aran?

He's a hero, right?
Demon Slayer is taking his swagg

seems legit.

wouldnt say the end of ms all together ....
nexon would just think of something new to add like another 50 classes and 1 new boss

Better come with some sandwiches.
(Like this if you're hungry!)

could this new "commander" of the black mage be DS dad? he has the wings.

After the Black Mages defeat you will have to kill his/hers father/mother, after that you will have to kill his father/mother..
.. and after THAT you will have to kill his/hers lover.

[i]Never ending story[/i]

@NevaScarem Not if she turns back into normal.

Originally. Zakum was the ultimatum boss (look at pap pixies hat and you see a zak symbol). There will be a new boss and storyline that occurs after. Would totally love to see more challenging but not impossible bosses. I love empress and do minion runs. (Since mages can't solo empress with the recoveries and all) but it would be nice if they made training harder again and made more 16x bosses that aren't soloable but don't require thousands of dollars for equips or hacks to defeat them.

[quote=BstarXD]My idea for a Black Mage PQ is that since there are 5 hero's and 1 Demonslayer it forms a party of 6,when the PQ starts every one goes in to watch the Demonslayer fight the black mage first.Then after his hp has been taken down a little the 5 hero's come in to fight him.

PS:Honestly i do not think that this is the black mage boss because nexon can make many ways to prolong the story from this and they havent even released some of the main parts of the fight against the black mage[/quote]

too limited. would not fit well with the whole maple alliance thing. Making ALL of maple classes come together just so that they can sit and watch the actual heroes fight in an exclusive pq that will give exclusive items when completed would be unfair. it'll probably be a continuation of silent crusade or something

There are plenty of games that continue after the main boss is killed. Remember at one time HORNTAIL was the last boss LMAO IN MY OPINION HE WAS!

After the black mage is killed maybe they will create a new world? Just like Phantasy Star [b]you have the ability to travel to other lands.[/b] Thus making more content and new stories for each planet/eposoide/saga.

Anyone else more interested in the fan art of "Magnus"? Man, he looks bad-ass.

@PraisedAura At least DS still has Mastema.

Nah this isn't the end of maplestory. After the black mage a new saga will open.

Maplestory : Episode 2 (Not maplestory 2, Same game just diffrent saga)

After the blackmage is dead we will have another mission maybe a [b]episode of chaos and new bosses? with a new island?[/b]

3 years later: 'Hey man, I'm gonna solo black mage, brb few min '
It would be cool though....

[quote=Akuma5892]If the black mage arrives, won't that be the end of everything? o.o[/quote]

that would be funny if the second the first black mage is killed, nexon credits roll, and thats the end of ms

Mercedes and Evan look like a cute couple.
Ds looks like a boss.
Now wheres Waldo?

If the black mage arrives, won't that be the end of everything? o.o

We should all listen to Makoto.

I always wondered why he would never show up. I mean, if he would notice his followers getting murdered and the enemy keep getting stronger... why wouldn't he throw himself in the battle
If we look at the picture we can see Frued on the ground next to the black mage. Since Frued was defeated by the Black Mage, this proves that this is in the past, because it would be weird for his body to still be there after decades. I think that we go back in time to fight the black mage. We "re-do" the fight that the heroes had with the black mage.. It might be some kind of PQ, where you fight the black mage, but instead of getting to kill him, he "freezes" you and then the PQ ends... Like the Hero Battle that was once fought decades ago... I don't think they would make it "Heroes" only because that would make a lot of maplers pissed off because they can't do it with their characters ..

I honestly can't see this being the [b]real[/b] Black Mage boss, seeing how the pirate hero hasn't been released yet.

wonder how long it will take for it to be killed.. btw anyone know how long it took until the first pink bean was slain?
