MapleStory - Mark Of Honour and some stuff about DFO




So the Mark of Honour patch was released in Global MapleStory 2 days ago and it's the patch where we get one of the 2 Japanese exclusive classes: Kanna. I still gotta play it but it looks really cool just by looking at it :D Not only does this patch include Kanna, but it also includes new level 150 Root Abyss equips. Since we got Kanna, there's a good chance that the nezt patch will include the 2nd Japanese exclusive class: Hayato.

Ever since I saw these 2 classes released in Japan MapleStory, I always wanted to play them, but I never thought I would be able to because they're supposed to be Japanese Exclusive. Now I have a chance to play them ^^

I'm gonna play Kanna tomorrow after posting about my DN Swordmaster and I'll give my thoughts on it. Until then I'll just skim over the update notes.

Some quick info on Kanna: She's a mage and used INT, and she also uses a new weapon called Fans. The Fans are classified as 2Handed weapons so have fun scrolling them XD You can also make either a male or female Kanna which is nice and she doesn't run on MP. The patch notes also has her backstory which is cool since it's based on Japanese history.

Here it is:
June 21, 1582
Honnou-ji in Kyoto

Japan
After years of turmoil, Oda Nobunaga finally seized control of Japan, but his desire for power only grew. He sought immortality, and the temple of Honnou-ji would bring it to him. He prepared an ancient ritual of reincarnation that would see him reborn as The Sixth Sky Demon King, but word of the ritual got out, and the feudal lords stormed Honnou-ji to stop Nobunaga while it was still possible. In the end, a young onmyouji named Kanna disrupted the ritual, and the would-be dark lord’s plans crumbled around him.

But victory came at a cost. Just as the ritual was disrupted, a great pillar of light lurched forth from the temple and transported everyone to a strange world. Now, Kanna must conquer this strange place and regain lost strength and allies in order to stop the dark ambitions of Nobunaga's followers.


You can also see all of Kanna's skills but I'll go over those when I start playing her. The level 150 equips are posted as well and their set bonuses. The set consists of only 4 items so it will be relatively easy to get the full bonus (assuming you can kill the bosses of course). The sets consist of a hat, body armor, bottom, and weapon. This means bowmen and mages can finally get a top and bottom, allowing them to get more potential bonuses :D There's no pictures of the sets but I'll post them when I find them ^^

There's nothing else to special other than log-in and level up events. But there's one thing to note: Kanna is a limited time class. You can only create her until April 2. Evan and Aran are also up for creation until the same day.
If you want more in depth info on the patch you can check out the link I posted :)

Now before I go I want to point out a rather annoying thing that Nexon has been doing. Some of you might of heard of Nexon's other game called Dungeon Fighter Online. Now if you have been checking out the Dungeon Fighter site you may have noticed something odd: There hasn't been any new patches, events, and the last post was on the 13th of DECEMBER. There has been no word of any updates. This has given people the idea that DFO is going to be shut down soon. But if you lurk on the forums (like me) you will find out that a Nexon employee (Sageon) is posting. He has been saying that the reason Nexon hasn't been updating DFO is because they never received any updates or update schedules from the DFO developers, Neople. So the reason DFO is being ignored isn't because of Nexon themselves, it's because of Neople (although I'm pretty sure Neople is a subsidiary of Nexon). So unless Nexon explicitly says "DFO is being shut down", then there's no chance of it being closed. That is of course, unless Neople decides they want to stop developing DFO. If that does happen, then DFO will either be handed to another developer, or Nexon will host it as it is for a month or 2 before shutting it down. I don't think DFO is ending anytime soon since there's still 2 Thief subclasses that have to be released. So until that happens, don't expect DFO to go anywhere.

That's enough of me talking for now. To end of this post, here's a picture of The Black Swordsman of SAO, Kirito <3
