Are we getting a class called "Zen"? http://maplestory.wikia.com/wiki/Zen

Well this is a surprise to me at least. Though I was hoping for the Aran / Evan revamp...

Well who's going to make one? Are they going to suck eggs?

@hyperactivity: You were talking about the patch being "GMS exclusive" as claims by the CM, in which it really isnt.

@soundfix: Zen=Dragon Warrior but yeah it was the class introduced into CMS

Correct me if I am wrong but is Zen not the Dragon Warrior class originally introduced/exclusive to CMS?

@hyperactivity: Lot of grammatical errors and certain changes to skills were not mentioned or if they were it was REAL vague. In the case of Heroes' Shout, doesn't mention how it works entirely and doesn't event mention its cooldown.

@carbyken: Oh lol I didn't read the eleven patch notes. What was wrong with it?

@star909: EMS/JMS don't have it either if you are referring to Zen. I didn't say specifically about zen in my post but something exclusive in general to GMS. I am not sure what he was referring to since it was super vague. Maybe CWKPQ re-opening?

@hyperactivity: It's exclusive in the sense that KMS doesnt have it yet all the other regions do, if you consider that exclusive then go ahead.

@sirkibble & @star909: We did get their initial revamp at first, but CMS actually gave another update to Zen that tweaked around some of their skills.

@hyperactivity: He also said that they proof read Maple's Eleven patch notes, and guess how that turned out! And apparently this wasn't the only time the patch notes weren't proof read, so yea not believing anything from them anymore!

Michael did say on stream that this upcoming patch is GMS exclusive in some way. Not sure what exactly till patch notes come out.

@sirkibble: Before the revamp they were more like sair reskins but Zen had more originality to it, then Zen got revamped, we took it, gave the skills a space theme, called it a Jett revamp and never touched it again.

These filler patches though ;_; It's like filler episodes in Anime. T^T

Incredibly unlikely that we'll get Zen as a real class because Jett is essentially a re-skin of Zen. It's probably just a theme dungeon thing like the Princess No stuff with Ayame.

Jett and Zen are one in the same, besides the different thematics. Still they both have their to each his/her own feel to it I feel.

I like Zen better than Jett though (at least in terms of the skill skins)

TMS got a theme dungeon where Zen meets Jett and you get a beginner skill that allows you to change between the two, because tey're the same class (Jett stole the Zen revamp).

Well, Zen is literally just Jett with an eastern theme. The only thing that is different between them are their character cards, I think.

I'm really hoping for a new class, 3 other versions of MS have it, so why not another?

Considering they don't mention the class anywhere else, I'm guessing it's like loraket said, just a theme dungeon thing. They do call it a "newcomer" though so I don't know.

I think i's just going to be like Ayame, you play the character in the theme dungeon and it's not an actual class for the server.
