Judging by the general murmur in the official forums, the new Chaos Raids added to MapleStory 2 are perhaps a bit too challenging. With that in mind, there is word that raid progression adjustments are in the works and we’ll all see word about them soon.
Word of these tweaks comes from Nexon America general manager Jungsoo Lee, who addressed the matter on their Twitter. “As you can expect, we are working with the dev studios reviewing everyone’s feedback after the Chaos Rising update,” writes Lee. “Please expect to see an update Wed PST for the announcement.”
It’s not immediately clear what these changes will involve, of course, but according to one of Lee’s replies a downgrade in challenge for Chaos Raids is not one of them. “We are not planning to nerf current Chaos Raids,” Lee wrote. “We are reviewing overall progression speed and progression design vs. re-balancing the Chaos Raid.”
A timeline was not given for when word of this new update will go live, but players can likely expect to see a new dev blog about what these progression changes will look like on the game’s website.
Our Thoughts
We have to applaud the fact that raid progression is the first thing being looked at over simply bonking the Chaos Raids with a nerf bat. Perhaps this will mean that the particularly gnarly sander of this game’s end game gear grind will become a little less gnarly. Hopefully.
