‘Big Bang’ update coming to GMS soon
September 14, 2010 170 Comments
It is the biggest event in the history of MapleStory. It is the event that will rock Maple World to its very foundations. Worlds will collide, continents will quake, dogs and cats will live together, and the very foundations of reality will quake.
The problem is, we don’t know what to call it.
In Korea they called it the “Big Bang.” It was the most important update in MapleStory history and it’s coming to Global MapleStory soon. We want to know what you think we should call the event.
Here’s how it work:
- Submit your idea for this event’s name through our Web submission page between
September 14 and 20, 2010.
- Maplers will vote on the five top submissions through a poll on the official MapleStory website between September 23 and 29, 2010.Good luck, Maplers! And get ready!
GMS is really catching up with the Korean version. I don’t know why GMS wants to rename the Big Bang to something else. Big Bang made sense to me.
I wonder if GMS can release the updates without critical bugs. Because KMS released a lot of minor patches to fix a lot of bugs.
Congratulations Global MapleStory players~
Click here to see the Korean trailer for MapleStory: Big Bang.
I’ve seen that TaiwanMS is getting a big patch tomorrow: Hob King PQ, Chaos Zakum and Horntail and the potential/enhancement system!!
GMS is catching up… KMS is updating a lot more often than before…
Totally unexpected. The server is down now because of the patch from 4 till 9 AM KST.
I expected Lionheart to be released next week. But I’m not complaining hehe.
Tomorrow I’ll have a busy day, but hopefully I have free time to complete the Lionheart quests.
I’m almost Lv. 139 and not 140. -_-; My plan was to get to 140 before Lionheart comes out…
Hah. Now the next step is when does it come to eMs?
And im assuming that gms will get it later this year? Perhaps early next year? :O
GMS is possibly getting Big Bang in 2 weeks, as they have usually made known the next patch about two weeks before the patch is actually up. Now, as for EMS, I doubt it’ll come very soon.
1 week to start voting for the rename of big bang.
1-2 weeks voting.
1 month to release (?).
just my guesses
6-7 weeks =/= Soon
Although I do agree with Toadus, since the visitor’s event ends at that time too. I except either JMS or MSEA to be the next to get the Big Bang, or what would MSEA probably call it, Episode 3.
6-7 Weeks is actually not that long.
6-7 weeks is VERY soon indeed, kid.
it cause school past a big load of our time so ya
Hob The King PQ has yet to be released in GMS, so I expect that to be September’s patch, and BigBang in October.
Mechanic should come out Oct.21 or 20 and Battle Mage and Wild hunter on like, the 12 or 13 or maybe 14
Sorry to say, but ur wrong…GMS has just started a Poll to ask what we want in the big bang update, and it lasts till 20th october, so i guess it takes a few weeks longer…
Seriously? ITS ALMOST DECEMBER AND IT HASNT EVEN CAME OUT YET
Yea thats wat im sayin but i think itll come out any day this week
2 weeks is like tomorrow for GMS, so im assuming it will be around a month and a half. honestly i cant believe how fast we’re catching up.
i jazzed on myself reading this
The LionHeart “Dungeon” is gonna be BEAST in GMS.
I think the lionheart Castle was be not in the same patch as Big Bang because in the KMS Big Bang update they didnt have it yet so i think the patch is separate.
Who knows, maybe we might get that coming late October/November if Nexon America is serious about catching up to KMS.
Just that u guys still have the damage cap
I just hope they fix the potential bug….hate how my DB lvl 156 was getting ownd by a lvl 110 cb with a potential bugged item…
a DB crying over a cb? come on your class is like a cb on crack dont go crying now
-not flame, just a simple true comment.
They know people are waiting so just make a contest for something coming out in 2 or so patches.
I guess they did that to stall for more time
“Since GMS is catching up, KMS decides to update more often…”
You made it sound like a competition o.o’
I thought we were gonna be hand on hand with kMS before 2010 ends.
That makes me think in kMS running while yelling “can’t catch me kekeke”, while gMS running really close to it. xD
kind of like why tom cruise runs in all his movies
lol familyguy
In GMS Big Bang is a skill. Im expecting they dont want anyone getting the skill and the update mixed up
In KMS Big Bang is a skill. They still named it the Big Bang
We will call it “The Bang That Is Big” or the “The Really Big Bang” Pretty original right?
Maple Story’s “Really Big Thing”
mines ” The Black Magician Strikes Back”
i bet , millions of people already said it XD
anyway i wonder why there doing this now? we dont even have hob king
Hob King + Dual Race + Lionheart Castle = One really good post-BB patch?
i named mine Apocalypse because the old map will die and the new one will rise from the future :D
yeah mine’s really close to that it’s “The Black Mage’s Revenge”
i named it “maplestory kamehameha!”hehe
i named mine ‘The black magician’s rage’ , ‘The black magician’s awakening ‘ and the arrival of the resistance’
I think it should stay Big bang…
YES!
ohmaigod, I wonder how fast we’ll get it!
1 month? 2 weeks? a week? tomorrow!?
Taking in cosideration that they say “Maplers will vote on the five top submissions through a poll on the official MapleStory website between September 23 and 29, 2010.” and that the whole visitor event ends on the 29, I guess will get it between the 29 and October 6 unless they release something else (which is what I think they will since having just 1 day to make the ads with the new name doesn’t seem likely).
It’s pretty difficult to imagine GMS to go even a week w/o an event, since the all current events end on the 28/29th
wow. i better get as much summoining rock as possible for my chief bandit since big bang is coming in a very few weeks!
Hmm. Lionheart castle mosters give 200,000 exp. They have A LOT of HP but that can be solved with posion mist. And so why not leech a level 30 there XD. And with the new big bang exp an 2x card and HS…
30-120 in under an hour XD
i think its level restricted to 120+
Isn’t post big bang poison mist based on dmg rather than enemy health? Correct me if I’m wrong
Yes, it’s based on your damage range instead of the enemy’s total health now.
Classes with rapid hit/instant kill skills such as Archers (Mortal Blow/Snipe) will find easier training here than most other classes. I mention rapid hit because of the Crit/Cruel rings with 1% instant kill rate.
I like the direction Maple is going.

They cannot be frozen, stunned, or instantly killed. I highly doubt that they forgot about poisoned.
I don’t know man, if you look at Spadows video of the Lionhart Castle, you will notice right at the end when he started attacking the monster he stunned it. Notice @ 5:38 on the video when he used Atomic Hammer, the rock monster is stunned. It might be just because of Test Server.

They removed the status effects in V.341, you have a video from V.340
just saying there aren’t 2x cards in cash shop in KMS ( i could be wrong ) and family exp changed to 1.2x
Can I get a “Hell yeah!” anybody?
Hell Yah!
Just wondering Spadow, would you say the monsters are good EXP, if not solo then in a group, and is the overall area sort of fun?
thank you for congratulating us :D
anyway i saw somewhere on basil that nexon america wanted gms to catch up to kms by end of year witch is why gms is realeasing stuff faster but i really want bigbang cause my brawler (BRAWLERS FOR THE WIN) is stuck in 50-60 limbo T_T
DARN U WINDOWS 7
why be mean to w7
i have it it and can play
I had no problems with Win7 as well, with the most recent patches that changed and i started to DC at boss runs and cc’ing.
My question for everyone who’s aknowledged in KMS BB. did the Windows 7 problems stopped after BB patch, or did KMS had to release a special fix / an special plus, to fix the Win7 problem?
I’ve got Windows 7 as well. Despite that it says that there are issues, I have yet to come across anything, and I’ve been playing on Windows 7 since July!
my only problem are i cant boss run or do a alien mother ship pq thing
i thinks its windows 7 cause on my windows vista laptop it is better but i have tons of lag on that
not win7
its cause of STUPID (UNNECCESARY) visitors patch
Windows 7 has issues with some of the PQs, like the Balrog PQ.
Epic face, Epic Face, Epic Face, Jizz in my pants
Didnt KMS jus get big bang a month ago? lol GMS is soo close
big bang in KMs was a couple months back
I just cant wait for Wild Hunter, Sure i played it in KMS, but i want to use all my godly stuff and be able to play where i can know what everything is saying :(
YO! How’s the new leveling curve? I’ve the less than 80% exp rate drop! How is it? How long would you estimate someone getting to 4th job starting at lvl 1?
well i played about 2 hrs a day(im 14) (battle mage)
and i am lvl 95 right now
so i got there is about 1 month
im not the best lvler but yah
no mean comments now
HOW COME EVERY ONE LEVELS FASTER THAN ME
(cry) :(
how come everybody lvl faster than me???
whats the trick?
whoops sorry i thought i didnt send it
um well
it depends on the job
battle mages from day 1 can hit 6 monsters at the same time
while wild hunters hit only one at a time till 2nd job
ME-
Battle mage lvl 1 – 30-3 days(i played maybe 1-2 hrs a day
wild hunter lvl 1-30- im still at lvl 24 and its been 7 days…….
so se how thats changes things
but still lv 1-30 in 3 days thats impossible ! ( well for me at least for me )
I always set my goal for 5 days for lv 30. Usually, I beat it in 2 or 3, if it’s hard or I’m not motivated, probably 5+ days, maybe even a month if I’m that lazy XD
I took me 1 day to lvl 30…
becuz hes a noob =P
During his recent posts, you commented about how he’s noob and this site sucks? Why do YOU come here in the first place. F#$k off
wow, i think to call that The Transformation
Sorry people, who are going to kill the monsters in lioncastle with instant kills. It’s blocked now o,o
interesting , i tought this was a KMS only blog =D
im just joking spadow i don’t mind ….
now i gotta think up a name
its mostly kms but if its big enough then he will put it up lol
I don’t think that GMS will ever “completely catch up to KMS due to the fact that most, if not all the content for Maple originate’s there. Even Masteria in GMS, though it’s not in KMS it was designed by a KMS team.
It’d be cool if GMS get’s stuff even a month after KMS though, that’d be awesome…..
I like the name Big Bang, though. D:
The Real Question Is When The Hell Is Gms Geting BB + Like Spadow Said gms Has a Lot Of Bugs which I think there 2 lazy 2 fix for example Dual Blade Release -/-” geting band then da sever maintness….& This Aline Pq ish every time I cc I dc bak 2 destop what’s with that o-o Point Is Gms is Geting Slooopy!
We can get the BB even if it’s filled with glitches, just expect lots of maintenance on it
yah pretty much 1 week of maintanincing
whats a BB ?
plz dont call me a noob because i know i am one
big bang…
thanks
Congratulations..i’ll be waitting
Wow this is great cant wait to see how this turns out. so overwhelming though.
OHHHHHHHH YEAHHH, Big bang in GMS :D
thanks spadow for uploading this :) always appreciated xD
@ihatebleach well spoken!!!
Ugh, why do they have to change the name?..Because of one of the mage’s skills? (someone suggested this)
..Anyways, it’s gonna take a while..MapleStory is just gonna go boom and everythings gonna be fucked (..which makes the event cooler i guess) and imma get lost everytime i get on. <3 o well..is this event gonna kick ass or what?
It’s not even a Event .
…. yah were have you been for the last 4 months…..
its not an event
its an updtae
I quit maplestory this will make me come back. I dont have enough time to spend on leveling with the exp even now, hopefully gms isnt like ya your not getting the exp reduction.
As for the Name hmm FINAL SHINE!
isnt [FINAL SHINE!]from dragon ball?
Is it tough leveling after big bang?
WAYYY EASIEr 80 % exp cut off
I out “Awake of the comatose”i was listening 2 skillet at the time lol

Thanks Spadow ur the best!!! Hey just thought i’d mention NZ and Australia are geting NX card to buy from store! This is extremely big for me and I know other feel the same way.
Hey, its unfair. Gms get to catch up with kms while ems and msea dont get to!
i thought since the korean invented maplestory first. they got the right to decide when to release their
new things. so gms should not be able to get big bang or even dual blade so fast!
GMS gives nexon big money. Besides just play gms instead of msea
looks like somebody is mad :P just play in GMS.
But I heard theres IP block D:
but no ip block for north america to play in sea?…..
thats messed
cause im in canada and i can play sea
Which world do you play in Msea?if aquila add vakariye
eMS is meant to be catching up.
http://en.maplestory.nexoneu.com/article.aspx?idx=11002068
We are getting less patches, but each patch is bigger…
Mines called Maplestory Unleashed cuz they pull out all the stops on this event!!!!
sounds just like sonic unleashed
NOT A FRKING EVENT………….
can believe how many people on this blog think its an event…..
its a fricking update…
Im pretty exited for Big Bang GMS, because i like to play GMS but i like to go outside alot more so this will give me the oppertunity to have a high lv and a social life :)
Big Bang will come to gMS on September 29, 2010.
Just wait to this day and see that I’m right.
i would probably die from shock of earlyness :P
no more like October 10, cuz that’s when the “visitors” event ends
the alien event in Msea will end in sept 29 watta coincidence btw im in sg!
u mean release? we will c WE WILL SEEEEE
Rofl. I waited, it didn’t come. You sir, have failed. Wait until October, I’m going to say the Wednesday AFTER Thanksgiving. (Maybe before, Idk.) Nice try.
Looks like you’re wrong:(
hey does anyone know when the big bang comes to maplesea? a rough estimate please :/
Probably 2011 Late or Middle of the year. If you guys are lucky, you might get it in December or Early 2011… Good luck Maplesea.
Sigh~ so long? I can’t wait for it….Wish Dec will come lol
and, we are just goin to recieve Dual Blade, so you can see we are much slower than other Maple, just think about that Europe Maple is slower than us……
I think nexon is changing it because its the name of the skill, a TV show “The Big Bang Theory” and it could mean something else which a guy does to a girl :P (if you dont know what i mean by that dont comment :)
the ‘visitors’ event was just to stall us!! bring on the main event!!!
i think the same thing!!!
visitors was DeFeNateLeY a staller
I started playing yesterday, i think i will stop and wait for the big bang. Theres no reason to grind now when i know this is coming in maybe 3 weeks.
same..
Yeah I Knoe,But This IS Gonna Screw with Us Permaginners D: I Think We Walnt Be Able To Be begginer Anymore,It’ll Be To Tough….I Am Also Stoping Training My Cygnus And Aran And DualbladeAND BEGGINER lol
Im very late to repy on this subject but…
This is kind of old news to me I even posted a blog and video about this subject
I can’t wait to kill like that lv163 bishop
Hey Spadow, Im wondering about the big bang patch, if you were 40% before the big bang, would you still be 40% after or will it change?
it changes
itll accompansate this exp
you will still be at the same 40% your exp doesnt change the curve does
problably when bigbang comes 60% of exp will be cut off example of if you need 1m exp to lvl after bigbang it’ll be 600k exp to lvl or something
its 80% less now…..
well, really gms is trying to catch up with kms. the problem is when they rush things like this they end up with alot of bugs ad false launch dates. I expect they will launch it october 9th, the same time I guessed about 3 months ago. Though I don’t think it will actually be released and playable until October 15th.
lol wow i sai the same thing…
Yeah i cannot wait :F
Wow. if it’s september 29nth, then i got to get as mush summoning rock as possible then for my chief bandit!!!!
The poll is now on if you dont know…
lol finally the big bang update comming to GMS after w8ing for 4 months D:<
when is the vistors thing gonna end cuz there alot of ppl sayin diffrent dates
at the end of september
october when alien event ends
well right now nexon just addad hob king pq and ninja castle so maybe in v.91?
it must be in october
they jus made a new poll today about what we think should be changed n it ends on the 20th of this month. i think it will come out in early november or wit the halloween patch. =D ITS SO XCITING!!! BATTLE MAGE FTW!
Jizzzz!!!!
im so excited, i cant w8 to get BB, coz then i can get my aran way over lvl 120, im 100 now:$
Thanks for keeping us up to date Spadow(Y)
When is big bang coming to gms??
Btw Guys Big Bang PActh is Hittin GMS in November-November 26 :D Get Ready For Mechanic!
Are you SUre?
one we acctually named it big bang and gms confirmed its coming this winter ppl stop guessing when its coming…. oh ya in november we get ulu city cuz this update we got JUST the ulu city cards so i guess gms couldnt fit it in
all i know is that it comes out before the end of the year…
well lets just hope that GMS will recieve the BB patch before the end of the year because my Aran is a total noob…its only lvl 18…..*sigh* i wish i were strong….in GMS
omg why is ems so fkin slow, evan is coming december 2010
IF they were to rename it ide suggest the Reberth of Maplestory 2010 or whenever it comes out…
oh and btw ide rather make a mechanic or wild hunter than battle mage + ide make mechanic OR wild hunter rather make both cuz the wild hunter gets to catch monster sand make it a taming mob just like a snail wowowowow that would be slow xD and mechancis get to go on these robot or tank thingies seems so awesome XD GMS FTW :D
I cant wait for the BB, think it getting out before the christmas patch is coming, should be less server checks and stuff if they just fix it before christmas, and idk why :S
is it true that the Magic attack becomes like 1 Warrior attack?
1 mg att = 1 att? O.o
Well if thats true, ill hit like 200k+ with my Chain lightning and crit hit like 300k :D
i got 1692 magic, its regular at my lvl ro hav at least 1.1k, and im lvl 140
Guys it’s been confirmed to come in winter before 2011.
Dear Fans of BB,Nexon or should I say GMS should be releasing Big Bang the same time around of JMS since jms is releasing around Nov.24 The full set big bang 1 is out for jms big bang 2 not done big bang 3 not done yet GMS bigbang 1 progressing bigbang 2 not attempted bigbang 3 december bichs :p
Wait, we’re getting new skills?

No when the update happens all new skills will automatically change the old skills
So who will get the Big Bang after Japan? Is it GMS? I hope so! =D
