A huge patch was released to Tespia including the things for the November update (Demon Slayer and Cannon Shooter reorganization, Resistance and Cannon Shooter Hyper Skills, the new theme dungeon, Monster Park Extreme) as well as some Tempest class nerfs AND the data for the new thief Resistance class, Automata! It looks it will be coming out on December 6! (thanks to Yoon for finding this picture~)
The maximum number of character slots has been increased from 18 to 19. Ok… why not just to 24 or something…?
Party quest entrances have been consolidated to one map for the lower levels and one for the higher. You can now use your arrow keys to control the Dimensional Portal. In addition, some party quest rewards will give set bonuses if worn together~
The new Monster Park Extreme has been added, for characters level 40 to 100. You can participate by entering the new portal in the Monster Park map. It does require separate tickets which you can get through daily quests. The new NPC Spiegella has been added to oversee Monster Park Extreme.
After entering, you’ll fight monsters more powerful than the existing Monster Park and you can gain experience as well as special prizes if you satisfy certain conditions while fighting the boss monsters.
The new theme dungeon Paradise On Earth, Gold Beach has been added~! Characters level 40 and above can go there by talking to Irvine in Lith Harbor. It’s a beach resort owned by Gold Richie, and there you can see his son, Gold Richie Junior!
The monsters are pretty cute, they’re like those slime monsters from Singapore all dressed up as different beach or aquatic animal related things~
The theme dungeon Kerning Square has been reorganized. This includes new NPCs, quests, and a revised storyline!
There’s a couple map changes, such as the lobby which has been completely revamped, as well as some of the monster maps. For example, the floor with CDs now have them spawn on both the bottom and top platform! Even better grinding, hahaha. There’s also an elevator that will take you to whatever floor you want now, instead of you having to walk to each one~
Let’s talk about the skill changes first!

Thief Resistance: Automata
The Resistance’s thief has been (slightly) revealed, the Automata! It could also be Automaton I guess, but the Korean ends in 타 which is a ‘ta’ sound. No images or skill effects or even skill data have been released, but we do know the skill strings, which I have translated below.
Automata’s weapon is the Energy Sword, and I believe its secondary weapon is the Energy Collector. He seems to be some sort of Android or robot…
The Automata seems to use a few different systems. The first is the Power Storage, which is a beginner skill. It looks like its just another sort of MP, but it’s only used for three skills I believe (Agility Tuning, Reflection Sensor Link, Critical Point). It also increases your dodge rate based on how many Power Storage you have.
Dodge rate is also important to Automata. Many of its skills increase its dodge rate or give extra effects based on whether or not you dodge an attack. It’s sort of similar to Angelic Burster’s Affinity skills and Recharging, I guess (like not the ‘need to Recharge to use skills’ part).
Finally, there’s the Tactic Selector system. This is sort of new to MapleStory! It lets you switch the effects of some of your skills based on your situation. These skills are Sword Flexible, Combat Mode Switching, Pulseforming Network, and Energy Field Unfold. There are three different ‘modes’ for each of these skills, and they all slightly different effects. For example, Pulseforming Network can either be a strong single target skill, a linear mobbing skill, or an AoE explosion around you! It will be interesting to see how they’ll make each ‘mode’ desirable~
