Changes to Mu Lung Dojo next update?

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_U0gUnXJZM]We're now aware that Nexon will be introducing changes to Mu Lung Dojo.[/url] [i]Skip to 0:30.[/i]

Will we receive all KMS updates at once or bring in the updates one at a time? Let's take a look at http://orangemushroom.net
But first, here's the current Dojo in KMS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr40TLHpCbs

Mu Lung Dojo's ranking system now has job rankings. The job rankings will show the top 9 players of your job. There are no rankings for Beginners, Warriors, Archers, Magicians, Rogues, Pirates, Noblesses, or Citizens. The 1st place user of the 'total rankings' will receive Hero's Gloves, while the 1st place user of each job ranking will receive Mu Gong's Gloves, and the 2nd and 3rd place users of each job ranking will receive So Gong's Gloves. All other users will no longer receive prizes. Mu Lung gloves now expire at midnight on Mondays.[/quote]

Next up, Mu Lung Dojo has been reorganized!
[*]When you defeat a boss inside Mu Lung Dojo, the timer will pause for 10 seconds. The timer will resume in 10 seconds or when you move to the next floor.
[*]Mu Lung Dojo's ranking mode has been reorganized.
[*]Shelter rooms have been removed. You now go through 40 floors of bosses consecutively.
[*]Rankings will now reset every week instead of every day.
[*]Rankings will begin to reset on Sunday at 11PM. Due to this, ranking mode will be unavailable from 11PM-12AM on Sundays.[/quote]

[*]Enter the Dragon: Mu Lung Dojo is available starting at level 105. You can enter the same way as right now, through Mu Lung or each town's Quick Move or Dimensional Mirror.
[*]The existing Mu Lung Dojo's Normal/Hard/Ranking Modes have been deleted. Enter the Dragon: Mu Lung Dojo has one new Ranking Mode.
[*]Enter the Dragon: Mu Lung Dojo can be entered 3 times per day.
[*]Enter the Dragon: Mu Lung Dojo consists of a total of 41 floors, after defeating every monster on each floor you can move to the next. In addition, after defeating every monster, you'll receive points which can be used in the Enter the Dragon: Mu Lung Dojo shop.
[*]The rankings are split into three groups: Novice, Skilled, and Master. The Master group has both 'overall rankings' and 'job rankings'.
[*]Every Monday at midnight, the rankings are reset. Based on the rankings, users will be given gloves and titles. You can also buy these gloves/titles in the shop using points.
(and a lot more)[/quote]

[quote=orangemushroom]kMSt ver. 1.2.017
Enter the Dragon: Mu Lung Dojo Damage Compensation
[*]Damage compensation will now be applied inside Mu Lung Dojo.
[*]After entering Mu Lung Dojo, your damage will be reduced to 1/10 of its regular amount.
[*]While your damage is reduced, the maximum damage limit remains unchanged.
[*]To match the damage compensation reduction, bosses' HP have been lowered.
Enter the Dragon: Mu Lung Dojo Stage Configuration Changes
[*]The order in which bosses appear on the 31st~39th floors has been changed.
[*]Just like the existing system, 2 of the boss will appear on floors 33 and 36, and 3 of the boss will appear on floor 39. By defeating all of the bosses, you can move on to the next floor.[/quote]

[quote=jaredragonx9]how will this affect the meta?[/quote]

To those who already have their Tyrant gloves, or who can confidently call themselves the fastest of their class, there won't be any differences.

To those playing extremely slow/unpopular classes, there's now a good chance for getting a glove.

To those who play in large worlds with popular/fast classes with high funding caps, this change means Dojo gloves become impossible.

Tyrant glove price will likely skyrocket, since what's holding their price down now is how easy free dojo gloves are to get. Many people prefer simply to use Dojo gloves instead of making the jump to Tyrant. Same story for DIPQ, HDIPQ, WGs, and 100% tier up gloves. Eventually the market will resaturate, with everyone who used to rely on dojo switching to new gloves.

Doing a fast Dojo run when you don't need the gloves will be considered impolite. Even now, with daily resets, people who pointlessly take rank 1 tend to be met with disapproval. Imagine how much worse it'll be when resets become weekly and restricted to the top 3. Purposely kicking one person off Dojo rankings will now actually be possible, assuming you have a funded character of their class.

Ironically, the very people who have the power to acquire/deny Dojo gloves are those who don't need them, AKA the ones who already cap damage and have tyrants.

uh..job ranking as in your specific job only or the entire class? (like just 4th job as opposed to 2nd~4th job)

[quote=turtlebear]Unless you're dropping $2000+ on this game, you ain't those gloves.

"You'll receive 10 points for every floor that you clear, and an extra 100 points when you clear the 10th/20th/30th/40th floors."
40 floors x 10 points = 400 points
100 extra points at 10,20,30,40th floor = 400points
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
total = 800 points per run x 3 runs limit per day.

Grand total points possibly earned in 1 day: 2400 points.

So Gong gloves costs 75,000 points

75,000 / 2400 = 31.25 Days to buy 1 So Gong glove.

Conclusion:
You need to do Dojo 3 times per day for 32 days to earn yourself 1 So Gong glove.[/quote]

But there are [url=https://orangemushroom.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/mu-lung-dojo-points-shop.png?w=595]other rewards[/url] you can get with those points too... Eyeing the chairs, trait boost potions, medals of honor... +__+

@fairystories: Yep, it's very interesting indeed. I wonder how Marksman preform. The changes are in KMS now though, you can see with the video link provided!

At least for dojo, distance from Nexon's (terrible) servers won't matter as much.

The Tespia 1.2.017 patch for dojo seems quite interesting... reducing your damage to 1/10th of what it normally is but keeping the cap as is... Lol

[quote=stevenman76]Welp only 1 person will get #1 gloves per week.
Only 1 person per class will get top 10 gloves per week.
Only 2 people per class will get top 50 gloves per week.
Basically, only capping people with good internet(or that play underplayed classes) will get dojo gloves.
Tyrant gloves will probably skyrocket, and HQ DIPQ gloves might go up too.[/quote]

Better start working on your tyrant gloves

I'm both for and against the notion of having the timer stop after each kill... the once a week reset is a bit much... once a day at least.

Dojo gloves will be nigh impossible to get since the distribution is only once a week and the entire server has the whole week to get on the board.
Compared to now where we have 21 chances to get the Dojo gloves a week, we now only have 1 chance
