New year stream!

I have an idea of having materials like TSP in future events and as well as the credit burner. Stop making the TSP's black marketable or tradeable so players don't exploit these materials with alternate accounts (includes lvl boost) - it's still possible to quickly get them to 30m, ask for a carry certain dungeons/raids and just reserve the stuff on BM, give to the original ACC, or sell to others. This same thing applies to any kind of material that you get - maybe not make it happen to the materials with flame king and the rest of the content now since it wouldn't be fair for those that didn't get to experience it but instead change it in the future content like gatewave v2 posted in off-topic to prevent all of this skipping - make players actually play the game.

I've made some suggestions about this in the past like creating dungeons that actually require you to have a certain amount of TCP. Let's say your character is 8m but you want to enter a 10m dungeon, you can't until you end up reaching 10 million combat power. Now... as much as I'd want this to come to life, it wouldn't work for many reasons. Due to the game already going so far without doing this, it would be unfair for those who are nowhere near 50m+ as anyone higher up wouldn't have to worry about those entries. I was hoping that maybe future dungeons instead should require you to have a certain amount if possible - that would require a lot of work though and would probably even break the game...

Another one I was thinking of is possibly creating custom dungeons that could change the game around for players across the server. I'm not exactly sure how this would be pulled off but it sounds good on paper.

If there were different alternatives, I'm pretty sure the time spent online for each person would obviously be longer since everyone has to do their part on the grind.

Here I explain the issues I have with the gearing process for Closers. I would post this in the fan-media section but I think this is something that can't just be ignored. Things has simply become too easy. Creating a character from scratch, you could get them to 40 - 50m within a span of 2 to 3 weeks - even the base end game equipment... It's great to get benefits but it becomes a point and time where it's too much. The new patch of Gatewave v2 posted in Off-topic doesn't make things any better, either. This means more black marketable materials.

Please keep in mind that I mention the word: Purchasing a lot. This is referring to every player in the server that can buy things off of the black market or discord. Players can simply grind their way to purchase the main source material: Elixirs. Those are what really makes us skip the gearing process.

Genuinely has to be my favorite hub so far

[Origin Wheel]

■ Operation: Flame Wave

The new content [Operation: Flame Wave] is content that allows you to proceed by selecting a mission with the desired reward!

This content is obtained from the NPC <Min Soo-hyeon> after completing the [And the Holy Spear] quest and from the <Origin Wheel Status Monitor> NPC in the 'Origin Wheel' town. You can enter through the <Origin Wheel Remote Monitor - Edgar EX> NPC in 'Noah's Museum' and 'Endgame: Burning World' town.

Basically like gatewave v2

Single-person missions can only be attempted by one person, and you can click the refresh button to reset the mission until you receive the desired reward.

However, you can refresh once a day for free, but please note that a certain amount of credits will be consumed depending on the number of additional refreshes!

The 3 bosses that rotate are:
<Singular Chaser: Advent>, <Mirror Paradise: Bihyeong>, and <Mirror Maze: Crossroads>, and the dungeons that appear each day of the week are different.

▶ 4-person mission dungeon information

▶ 4-person mission dungeon for each day of the week

When clearing the single-person mission dungeon, you will receive the <New Seoul Damage Analysis Report>, which is required for creating/upgrading new regional legendary equipment.
You can obtain items such as <Pet Core>, <T2 Color Chip Box (1 type)>, and <T1 Platinum Chip Box (1 type)>.
Even when clearing the 4-person mission dungeon, you will receive the <New Seoul disaster analysis file> and it is said that you can obtain <New Seoul Boss Box> and <Malek Diamond>!

One of the following monsters will appear: ‘Scavenger Squadron Red’, ‘Scavenger Squadron Blue’, ‘Scavenger Squadron Yellow’, ‘Scavenger Squadron Green’, and ‘Scavenger Squadron Pink’.

Each monster has different items that can be obtained when defeating them. You can obtain items such as <Malek Diamond>, <General D Component: Costume>, and <General Reinforcer Fuel>!

---

■ Gate Wave: Subjugation

As the [Operation: Gate Wave] content ends, the 4-person mission dungeon will be changed to the [Gate Wave: Subjugation] dungeon, allowing entry through the regular dungeon entry machine!

[Gate Wave: Subjugation] can be entered through the <New Seoul Branch Situation Monitor> NPC in the ‘New Seoul Branch Command and Control Room’ town. You can also enter ‘Noah’s Museum’ and ‘Dungeon Integrated Entry – Gaston in Endgame: Burning World’ town.

▶ Dungeon information

[Gate Wave: Subjugation] In the dungeon, one of the following monsters appears: Nitocris, Yod, or Kiten.

When clearing a dungeon, you can obtain <Sleep Induction Ticket>, <Union Tactical Analysis File>, and <Union Battle Analysis Report>. Depending on the probability, you can obtain <Program Biometric Authentication Key> as a dungeon clear reward!

---

■ Other:

1. Gear level information for entering the Season 4 Omen Dungeon has been changed.
- (Before change) Gear level 210 → (After change) No gear level limit

2. The HP of monsters that appear in the Season 4 Omen Dungeon will be adjusted downward.

3. The World Peace Gate dungeon clear mission will be added to the circle weekly missions and daily missions.

4. The ‘Gate of World Peace’ area will be added to your circle reputation.
- The ‘Origin Wheel’ area is also included in the reputation buff for the ‘Gate of World Peace’ area.

5. SEASON 4 channels are added.

6. Obtainable costume information has been added to the farming guide.

7. ‘Operation: Flame Wave’ has been added to the farming guide.

8. Operation: Flame Wave Clear mission is added to the Union Watch dungeon mission.

9. The name of ‘Gate Wave’ in the guide will be changed to ‘Operation: Mission’ and some contents will be modified.

10. The difficulty of the Flame Re-Performance dungeon has been eased.

I'm happy and unhappy - Happy about the new content, unhappy about what it was like and hoping things become more rewarding than given.

To be completely real here - benefits are nice and all but there's a point and time where it's too much. Just like Gitae said - and even GMs on KR stated that it's more like a hand me game - literally an auto mode cause of the way one shots happen with every dungeon. I stated this constantly before in my videos and streams and heavily touched the subject when the skill point changes came around. After everything, people are able to get to 50m like nothing now and it's kind of beginning to feel like things are just too easy. This causes things to feel less rewarding. Thankfully, Flame King came around and it's really starting to test things out for everyone as a player and showing what it's really like to drop something that's legendary or rare. I'm hoping things will start to take a turn later on. Making mats black marketable like the Gatewave stuff was surprising - a bad kind of surprising. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. I want to actually earn things.

■ New Town: Noah’s Museum

A treasure trove of <human memory> finally opened to Closer.

There was no way to know how it got here. 

I didn't even know what I came here for.

However, when he came to his senses, Closer's consciousness was already in that mysterious space.

A girl in mourning clothes standing alone in the center of the space introduced herself as ‘Noah’.

And he says that the place he is in is a 'museum' that stores all of humanity's memories...

 

<Noah’s Museum>

What will closers see in that secret space?

And the museum director, dressed in mourning clothes and with sad eyes,

What is Noah's identity?

 

Now, another old secret is revealed to the Closers!

 

You can enter without level or required quest restrictions, including the Conquest program, which can only be entered in the New Seoul Branch Command and Control Room area.
This means that it is a comprehensive town with an entrance machine that allows you to enter all dungeons in one area, <Noah's Museum>!

All the entrance machines are in one town... Just thinking about it makes me think it would be super convenient!
And in <Noah's Museum> town, you can watch a comprehensive video of Closers' stories from past seasons.

This is Noah, the manager of the secret museum that contains all humanity memories.

After completing [Another Lucifer] quest, you'll be able to start [Truth in the Light] to enter this area.

---

■ Season 4 foreshadowing update

A moment of rest was given in the midst of a busy mission.

“Closers go to different places for different reasons.

There they reminisce about the past and talk about the present.”

Until I discovered an omen of an ominous future...

The precursor to Season 4 is after completing the [Dream Labyrinth] quest in the 'New Seoul Branch Command and Control Room' town. You can proceed by accepting the [Sudden Rest] quest from NPC <Caroliel> in the ‘New Seoul Branch Command and Control Room’ town. You can enter the quest dungeon through <Operation Controller – Edgar EX> in the ‘New Seoul Branch Command and Control Room’ town!

▶ Operation area information

[Developer Stepping Down - Lee Seung-heon]

Greetings from Closers PD. I love Closers and I receive your support and feedback. It was a time when we were working hard to create a better New Seoul. We wanted to do our best to develop and show only the best results. When you look back, a bit was lacking so it left a lot of shame. Unfortunately, I was no longer able to be together in this due to health reasons. I would like to greet you with a heavy heart through this position. My empty seat will be filled by PD Hyunjun Kang. We are on schedule to prepare you for better updates in the future. I would like to ask for a lot of attention and expectations for Closers in the future, and I will also be one Closer. 

It was an honor to be with you Closers
Thank you sincerely.

[Developer Letter - Hyunjun Kang]
Based on your feedback, we have been listening for a long time. I have a deeper concern about the nature and identity of Closers.
Future videos regarding direction and updates I want to share with you will be out sooner or later. This game is loved by many, I will do my best. We're working on this together.

Thank you,
Hyunjun Kang
