It's already 2014 and it would be really nice if Gravity would update the weapon sprites when you're in battle. I mean, look at the following equips, they look so awesome when you check their description and inventory sprites but when in combat they pretty much look like generic weapons off an NPC shop. Nothing like what they actually look.




Yes, I know there are actual bugs and more serious problems in the game but let's face it; those problems aren't going to be fixed anytime soon. They'd sooner be able to finish this kind of patch before fixing those issues.

Gotta love that spiky wooden club that is godly Mjolnir.

This isn't a number tweak. It would require both effort and the attention of artistic talent.

 

Therefore, even though this would be absolutely amazing, it will never happen.

This? Yeah, sucks that it looks so awesome in the description but in battle it looks plain. ROFL!

It doesn't need to be top priority. They could develop one weapon sprite a day until they eventually get every single weapon in the game. It's possible that one of the reasons why they never bothered with it is because we, the players, never bothered pointing it out so much.

It's been pointed out A LOT. Furthest back I remember this particular issue being raised is early 2004 (and that's just when I started paying attention).

 

Consider how long RO has been in operation. If they haven't done it already, they're not going to do it now.

 

Hell there are still monsters in this game that have no associated cards.

 

Regardless, keep plugging for it. Maybe if we kick up enough of a stink, they'll postpone a few critical balance fixes and content expansions to make weapons look pretty.

[AhinaReyoh]

I'm pretty sure the game artists have little-to-nothing to do with bug fixing, just content expansion.

Sent an email to Gravity, LOL! At the very least, I'm hoping they'd at least "brew" over the idea.

this please , all the katars looks the same! i mean come on some variation is needed here

[KhelbenVasq]

The answer to this is easy

 

There are programs out there that convert sprites to Bitmaps, and back to sprites... so

1. convert to Bitmap

2. make the changes of all angles of the weapon,

3.convert back to sprite.

4. Send to who ever the test dev is, for them to test out on what ever passes for sakray here,

5.then if it flies it flies.

 

  From Experience though unless your updated sprite is really high quality and Fits the Style of the Game most MMOs rarely use user made submissions. 

 

Also you got to consider the state of the update contracts WP has, if it can use custom sprites or not.  Some agreements preclude changes that do not come down the official channels, and those changes can cause issues with an update pipeline.

I'ld like to see actual sprites for my guns. instead of either the generic shotgun or a gattling when I'm not even using a gattling.
