A sneak peak of the next update posted by MysteryMask on the MapleStory forums. If you play the Boss Arena 10 times, you can get the Boss Arena Emblem. You can set Bonus Stats on the Boss Arena Emblem and the Bonus Stats' ranks will change based on the Boss Arena rank. You can change the Bonus Stats with Fierce Rebirth Flame that you can get every 3 wins.

[quote=NaakteShadow]So.. The classes who doesn't have emblems are getting lower tier emblems then other, new or revamped classes. It isn't even tradeable! They want to keep Resistance and other classes weak for ever huh?[/quote]

Dude, as a Zero, I dun have an emblem either. So now that I'm getting one, I can finally COMPLETELY outclass those filthy adventurer COMMONERS. Mwahahahahaha

Important information coming in 3... 2... 1...:
Cheer up! In GMS, the Boss Arena Emblem will be the only equip IN THE GAME with additional options! Even in kms, Emblems couldn't ordinarily HAVE options, so the Boss Arena Emblem could make up for the, err... weaker potential lines with the capabilities of additional options. I was upset about the lack of options in GMS because there would be nothing to make up for the lower potential tiers on the Boss Arena Emblem, and was even MORE dismayed when I learned that they were adding a 4th tier of potential for level 160 gears, but luckily, them stuck up bit- I mean, adventurers were brought down a few pegs, because Nexon had the forethought to reduce the Maple Crystal Emblem's level from 160 to 140, and they brought options JUST for the arena emblem, I mean, in kms, the only EMBLEM with additional options was the Arena Emblem, but in GMS, as far as anyone who doesn't work for nexon can tell, the Arena emblem will be the only EQUIP in the game with options!

Those adventurers have got a rude awakening coming. Maplestory is a story, and every story has protagonists known as the Heroes of that story, and the Heroes of Maplestory, the MAIN protagonists, are Aran, Luminous, Mercedes, Phantom, Eunwol, and Evan! All you Cygnus, Resistance, and ESPECIALLY you Adventurer characters are merely SUPPORTING protagonists! Except perhaps Demon Slayer, Demon Avenger, the Nova, and/or Zero. So stop acting so entitled you SIDEKICKS!

TLDR: Basically, don't worry about the low potential tier of the Emblem. If what we hear about additional options in kms is true, the Boss Arena Emblem's ability to get additional options will EASILY bridge the gap, ESPECIALLY if you can raise its rank!

[quote=nitsua2789]Perhaps for an Adventurer or any class that already has an emblem. As a Phantom I'm thankful that we're finally getting access to one, regardless of tier. It's not like the Emblems already in existence are tradeable anyways.[/quote]

Nova emblems are tradeable.

Honestly, they are being like Facebook by changing their UI's when everyone is already content with what it is.

[quote=sparkshooter]Isn't that the same map that they use for Xerxes' castle in that questline?[/quote]

Yes. They don't have enough time to add new maps, and better design to something they copy and pasted.

Don't play anymore but this new UI looks way better than the current one. The current one is sloppy (words go into other boxes), there is no set place for the text (some are centered, others left justified and others seem to be free floating in the vertical and horizontal center), the inventory HAS to be open with the equip panel, it takes up too much space from the looks of it, the character name text is touching/coming off the box itself, the spacing between the boxes is inadequate considering they are basically flat and the character box with your avatar should be free floating rather than bordered off considering most of the space around isn't used.

Used this as a reference: http://nxcache.nexon.net/maplestory/microsite/unleashed/img/carousel/revampedUI/3.jpg

[quote=infinteZero]wasnt the boss arena the thing like the ice knight pvp? one player controls a boss were a team of players try to beat the boss
funded or non-funded the old pvp system was decent all tho mages tended to be overpowered mainly bishops[/quote]

Its kinda it, but its a 1v1 deal. And not only that, the bosses are practically around their actual strength. Only a select few funded players can solo the endgame bosses in this game. If the bosses strengths were to be scaled somehow based on the player's levels then maybe just maybe it would be a good idea, but honestly it isn't.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but considering you said "changes bonus stats" with the flame whatever, does this mean we're not able to cube it

We need this UI with the character model, what if you were in a crowded map and trying to change something from your look? Or if you want to see what NX you are wearing and change it, I mean, you won't be able to anymore.

The UI is nice, but w/o the character model it's too simple

I like the current UI with the char preview. This is sort of a downgrade and doesn't look compatible with how the equip/stat/item inventories all fit together on full screen.
