This is somewhat a decent update but I worry about the 300k power lvl… Jesus man and I can’t even get 250K
Mine is 290k fml
300k power level… Been trying to tackle Elrianode for more than a year and still can’t wear it yet because of the RNG involved + NA’s crap market prices. I can see end of the road.
Filling 33 stone slots doesn’t sound fun tbh.
Especially since it’s RNG… With more RNG on top of it too.
KOG: so, we heard that you like RNG.
So we decided to put RNG, INSIDE yo RNG…..
But anyway…a new weapon? really KOG? KOG: WE EXPECT EVERYONE TO HAVE A TYPE-VOID WEAPON BY NOW! GET IT NOW OR NO 300K FOR YOU!!! NO NEW DUNGEONS FOR YOU! >:)
Even with void, you need more than +8 to reach 250k+.
Not sure if KOG is locking content behind a paywall. Or, if this new content is for kog to show it’s appreciation to the whales of the game.
Still, I guess I shouldn’t complain. Getting good gear is a lot easier now with all of these QoL updates we’re getting.
Combat Power was a mistake.
Indeed, however there’s some people who think otherwise…
Is good and bad, bad because you can not enter a lot of dungeons and now builds are useless (i mean, defense is now useles and i hate that,they just want you to top damage on all), good because you can’t find weak persons in hard dungeons making them more viable and less long, the only think i would love they could add is something like a summative combat power if you are in a pre done party.
Honestly the part where you say you can’t find weak people in strong dungeons is probably the reason the combat power system was implemented.
Me myself, i hated carrying or being held back in dungeons in the past due to weak party members.
The only bad thing is that it’s discriminatory towards weaker players, but at the same time, you can still enter the dungeons in solo mode, but you just need to get a hand-picked party to go with you.
Which is where having a guild comes in handy.

-1st and 2nd stages will require 250k power lvl
-300k power lvl for last stage
GEE, THANKS
Sounds like dungeons for paid players only :v
Well, MapleStory has Reboot now for people to invest time instead of money. So someone had to take up the mantle of story content being purely pay2win.
i guess they will add a “story mode” for all of those dungeons with 50k cp requirement and no-shiet-dropping just like 11-4 and 11-5 :v
they still need to squeeze out every possible thing from players to get some profits to be able to improve their games after all :v
End of the line for me it looks like
Too. My power level is less than 240k…
And think that we would never have a better weapon than the void.
There was an achievement where you needed to reach 300 Item level in order to get it.
That same achievement got changed to 250K combat level.
not sure how to conversion rate goes, but for 300K combat level, you need over 300 item level, which is hard for some players to get.
But then again….I’ve seen players that have over 600k combat level. *cough* a certain Rena main *cough*
Eh. If they did anything important, it would have gotten eclipsed anyway.
MapleStory’s finally adding the Black Mage as a boss this summer. The Black Mage has been built up for longer than Thanos~.
People care when you put forth actual effort into the story KOG.
Endgame you play Closers, right? Is it as p2w as Elsword?
Closers still better than elsword tho
Closers isn’t pay2win at all (Or at least the Korean version wasn’t. I heard Enmasse pulled some bullshit with VIP service and increased enhancement rates.), but I quit because after the first game director quit, things became a little too similar to Elsword.
Complete with the latest character being too samey with already existing characters (Not to mention completely bland design outside of her heterochromia.), and the final job advancement barely giving you anything. Newer stages are also steamroll because you’re geared or painful if you’re not.
One major difference is that at least Closers HAS actual endgame content, unlike Elsword. I did hate the current endgame area though. Upgrading the equipment is purely RNG and there’s cheap deaths and a bug that disconnects you if you revive between boss phases that’s existed for over a year…..
lol closers NA isnt pay to win at all. They give out free +12s for some events, and if you didn’t get one, you still have free +11s. And +11/12 is really all you need on a weapon, then get the gear sets from new content and such.
Then they’re not deviating from KR that much after all.
Well remember when people complained how dungeons were too easy? Well here ya go lmfao. I’m digging the new pve aspect of things though, just they need to either do something about that combat level or the enhancement system.
Easy doesnt mean need to get cash for clear the dunge
The problem is that if you don’t pay2win, the stages aren’t legitimately difficult. Just painful and tedious. But if you DO pay2win, the stages are too easy still.
There’s a balance. And KOG is bad at balance.
I agree.
My suggestion is upgrade the chance for enhancements. Stuff doesn’t break till +8, but you’ll be resetting your weapon like crazy without flourites.
Not by much, but just so getting +9 is easier. (Magic Amulets lvl.9 go for 2bil+ on the board still).
Also, maybe make it a little easier to complete Elrianode gear. Going through thousands of powders for effects that you can’t use is either an expensive process, or a really long one.
I mean, we don’t really need any of these things that I suggested, Things are actually going pretty good.
PLEASE atleast fix the stupid broken CP system, Extract sockets, indirect Stats/Boosts, in-Dungeon buffs, there’s so much garbage that the retarded CP won’t recognize, and its possibly to force people to overpower themselves without needing to limit them to raw stats and brute gear, my 5/5 Ancient Accesory set should make me by itself statistically superior to any Solace or Ignia set butt ofc its not accounted for because its a broken untested mess.
“Broken untested mess” sums it up pretty well.
Hell, the Enhanced Concentration passive of Flame Lord’s job path (+20% crit rate and +10% crit damage to magical attacks) doesn’t even get counted towards it, and that’s a passive stat boost.
I feel like it’s weirder than that, though. They made Elrianode dungeons to be challenging, or at the very least, to have tankier and more punishing mobs than previous dungeons. Power creep and being smart about what you do fulfills that challenge, so maybe KOG thought that it wasn’t enough.
So then they make the enemies in the Demon World dungeons even more tanky and punishing mobs, but they hike up this new CP requirement so that you end up back where you started on this treadmill? Like “here, challenging and frustrating dungeons” but also “here, we’ll make you have to get absurd gear to make them NOT challenging and frustrating”???
I don’t think I can adequately sum up this bizarreness.
tbh, there’s no real need to go into demon world unless you really want to be more broken for…what exactly? elrianode still gives away “decent” exp and there’s no much endgame aside from that
Story, my friend. Maybe people will mock me for it, but I’ll forever remain interested in it as long as it remains interesting to me.
yo they shouldnt make passives and skills(that give buffs) effect combat power, only gear, titles etc, cause we dont want classes to have an edge on this.
So are all 3 of the stages coming in 1 huge update? And please don’t tell me that thing at the end of the video is Stirbargen
it’s Sousei No Elsword
this game needs a system similar to DFO, where you do not need a Combat power or a team level to enter a dungeon, you simply enter and, if you lose , will not have the necessary gear maybe but they will not block you from entering any dungeon with stupid systems like this Combat Power
Even Closers still lets you enter the stages with iLvl bullshit if you run solo or in a pre-made party.
Elsword blocking you from entering the stages altogether is just asinine.
But it doesn’t..?
You can enter with a pre-made party all you want.
Not for Drabaki. Or the newest 3-stage raid.
What the heck is power lvl? XD
Buff Aisha
Combat power is a mistake. It’s not like it’s not better than the old system, it just the way they count the number make it total bullshit.
And to make the things worse, it will be difficult to find random groups, since the strong people will go in a closed group of 8 always.
that was my biggest worry :(
i have the combat power, but i only talk to 2 maybe 3 people in this game
needs 250k combat for the first 2 stages and I got only 212k…. WITH A FREAKING +11
screw you KOG…
I watched on clip on yt, with void 11 and ely eq 3/4 +11 and one +10 he had 310k only XD
So Rose’s canon Job is the Pidgeon
Job change ticket? Does that mean there’s another job changing event? And does it have 3rd job change ticket?
Honestly, seems like a good patch coming.
New weapon…well, I wont spend a lot of money upgrading my void if that’s the case. (unless i have to).
Free mod skill after doing a quest? nice.
Job change tickets in ED shop? KOG deserves praise for this one guys. +1
So many good things here.
I mean, yeah…300K combat power seems like a lot, but I’ve seen some players with 600k+ combat level. I’m sure kog will come up with an easier way to access the later dungeons.
hey, things are getting better. slowly…..but surely.
how in the actual fu*k does someone get 600k combat power?
is it factoring in El Resonance or something cause if it does, they probably gotten res lv 300+….
A lot of crit/skill damage (for example 40% crit damage and 40% skill damage)
Void +11
A lot of crit/maximize (for example 90% each)
Mp cost/cd reduction
Top damage Attack/Attacked
Had 250k with only +9 is possible
Not 40% skill damage but 90% skill damage with new gloves
It’s also possible to had 300k with +9
So rose cannon job is minerva huh
-Stirbargan will appear around the end of summer update
What is this?
So I’m confused. Are these 3 dungeons coming out on the same update?
How to reach 300K CP..
1. Waste money
2. Waste money
3. Waste money
4. Waste more money.
(This is basically true on NA and INT server)
KOG is just a money grabber now..
And to all those who think that anyone can reach 300K CP by just grinding.. (Like that stupid Rai)
they are optimistic people with dumb brains :D
this is a statement for all of the idiots like Rai Siegfried.. (both NA and INT server)
so uhh.. have you considered about everyone’s luck?
some people are busy with their life like school and work, not because they’re lazy..
how much time will you waste to get that 300K CP?
Can you reach it without a +10/11 void weap?
even if i did manage to reach 300K CP without wasting a single coin, i wouldn’t go so far as to say “just grind” to reach that high power..
Rai Siegfried – Stupidity at it’s finest..
>putting the “pay your way past doing the promote quests” things in a non-cash shop
I smell panic. who did they piss off at nexon.kr?
