Nexon America releases new MapleStory update featuring new character class set, the Cygnus Knights

The Cygnus Knights update allows players to take on new roles and experience a slew of new adventures with new skills and abilities in Maple World

Nexon America has released a new major content update for MapleStory, its epic massively multiplayer online role-playing game with more than six million registered users in North America, which adds an entirely new set of classes called the Cygnus Knights and brings a whole new storyline for Maple World inhabitants.

The Cygnus Knights characters are available for players at level 20 or up. Once enlisted as a Cygnus Knight, players start at level one, but after training and a few adventures, they will quickly be able to reach level 10 and select between a set of five new jobs: Dawn Warrior, Blaze Wizard, Wind Archer, Night Walker or Thunder Breaker.

 

Perfect World has sent out a great description and some screens of the in-game combat-enabled flying mounts. Find out all there is to know about this unique feature below:

Less than a year out from its initial launch, Perfect World has already seen two expansions and an exponential growth of players.

One of the systems that makes Perfect World International stand apart from most MMORPGs is its mounts system. Similar to other MMOs, there are both ground and flying mounts.

However, Perfect World is unique in that flying mounts are combat enabled. This unlocks an entirely new style of combat and adds a new dimension to PvP.

Characters first gain access to flight at level 30, with the exception of the Winged Elf race. Winged Elves are able to fly at level 1, however, their wings will consume mana until they reach level 30.

To unlock flight, characters must undertake their race’s flying mount quest. After a character has obtained their flying mount, they can fly anywhere and everywhere, with no penalty to their mana pool.

Each race has their own unique mode of air transportation:
Humans (Blademasters and Wizards) use Flying Swords. Their starting mount is a magical sword called Celestial Fly.
Untamed (Barbarians and Venomancers) ride Flying Beasts. Their starting mount is a giant stingray called Wave Pacer.

EVE Online developers were faced with the herculean task of cleaning up factional warfare. Huh? If you’re not sure what that means, keep reading and find out!

Control bunkers on steroids

First of all, a small but necessary change; we noticed that System Control bunkers are quite fragile next to Starbase Control Towers since they lack any kind of armor or shield resistances while having far less hit points. This often leads attackers to capture a system before a proper defense force can be gathered, thus defeating the whole purpose of having them in the first place since they are supposed to promote PvP interactions.

 

We are also aware that increasing their durability too much will only mimic starbase siege situations and encourage blobbing, which are points we absolutely would like to avoid in such scenarios. As such, control bunker shield and armor hit points are going to be increased by 50%, which should hopefully give a bit more flexibility for any defence force to mount up a fleet before the system is taken. Of course, we will monitor the situation and possibly adjust hitpoints again in the future if the need arises.

The summer events scheduled for MapleStory players have been detailed in the latest press release from Nexon. Find out what’s in store and see a couple of screens below:

Big summer announced at MapleStory Europe: New maps, new monster and striking special events released

July 1, 2009 – MapleStory, the popular free-to-play online MMORPG, promises a great summer season for its 1 million+ players with today’s patch.

Starting off with a significant update of its present game system, players can now make use of even more convenient and handy interface features, including jump-downward function, various functional upgrades and hotkey add-ons.

EVE Online devs have announced that the next large expansion isn’t due until winter and, as a result, they are planning an Apocrypha ‘mini expansion’, AKA Apocrypha 1.5, in August. Find out what’s in store below:

Things have been silent on the dev front since the release of Apocrypha this March. Apocrypha was a major success for EVE Online. We rose to new heights in terms of concurrent players and subscribers, and more importantly, we are very proud of the new features and functionality it provided.

 

Now we are working hard on our winter expansion. Winter is quite far away, and we felt because Apocrypha was really early for a summer expansion, we should put out a mini-expansion, rather than wait until winter to release all the stuff we are working on. It should come out mid-August if all goes well. We refer to it as Apocrypha 1.5.
