Guys, you all know that a group of players can queue right? -.-
4BAs can actually form a group, queue in Crystal Defenders and poof! Unlimited sleep time. You can't do anything about it. Not unless you want to remove the "queue as group" feature.

This 1 hour timer SUCKS
There is nothing much to do except doin Crystal Defenders and you will make non premium users to wait 1 hour so they can join again. This is really annoying. Now you have to pay to play.
Starting to look like paid game... or like the Union War ,1 hour between it zzz

Not to mention doing that to premium is going to FURTHER screw up the economy. Honor gear is already way too expensive---sorry new players you don't get to gear up anytime soon.
Edit: Everything else for the premium account seems like a good idea--The PVP cooldown is just stupid.

And I'm not the only one who said that.
Altough all the new itemmall stuff if cool, but spending your time on demolish people their builds, gameplay, techniques, etc is not fun however free stat & skill reset isn't going to fix anything. I mean c'mon no stuns on raiders.. I tought somewhere on www.playroseonline.com it stated that raiders are there to do high critical damage, and as I'm correct a critical hit will make a player do a certain animation which will delay the user to move to somewhere. so you could see the critical hits as stuns..
But yeah I can keep going on like this for hours, but yet I'm going to quit the game and play another game until the skill have been 'Rebalanced' in the way 90% of the community agrees with

Basically:
1. You queued/confirmed for 3 hours.
2. Had AFKs in your team.
3. Aside from your team is outnumbered or in terms of active players and participants, you have a sucky team due to badly balanced game.
4. You lost the game but you lost nothing.
5. Wait for 1 hour cooldown.
6. Queue for another 3 hours.
7. Quit ROSE.
8. ???
9. No profit.
Balancing is not just about "if one has this, other must have this" No. Balancing is like if a team has scout, the other queuing scout will be on the enemy team, and not stacking into just one team.If we overly balance Crystal Defenders base on the class e.g. a scout for this team and should have another scout for the opposite team, it will take forever to start a CD instance. And for the "balance the numbers of the group" part, it is already optimized and the results are obvious and working. It's just that, sometimes, nobody is queuing.
They can categorize balancing like "if attacking team has scout, a queuing battle artisan will be on the defender's team" which is range class-based.
We don't always look at how class balancing is like when cleric is being balanced (which mandates both team to have clerics).
Group queuing is buggy. It usually is the cause of queue stuck. Basically it happens when a team is missing something and it is from a group.Guys, you all know that a group of players can queue right? -.-
4BAs can actually form a group, queue in Crystal Defenders and poof! Unlimited sleep time. You can't do anything about it. Not unless you want to remove the "queue as group" feature.
For example, a team with 8 champs need one cleric. And a cleric that can be added into the team is in a group of 2 more champs. It will be like 10 champs and 1 cleric in one team that will stuck queuing and the game will never start unless the queuing group disbands.

The way I understand it, the system was utilizing a class balancing feature. It was balancing the teams similar to the way you are describe it. But the problem was, due to variety of players queuing and so as the composition of group that queued, It makes the GA stuck all day.
That is why, what I'm really saying is, be happy that the algorithm was changed and Game Arena is playable as it is right now. Even if it is not as "balanced" as what you guys want, at least it is running.
when will you be satisfied?

as for Pvm 1 hour cooldown is okay~
if you implement the 1 hour cooldown why not make it 4 hours just like UW

me along with about 10-15 other clerics are the only active clerics i feel on leonis and if we arent online and in the que it just wont go. these is just making it even harder for a game to start, if for example you regularly had 100 players in the que then thats fair enough but through the day (my time) the games manage to keep going but later on in the day alot of the time we are all waiting hours. the timer will just destroy it even more. maybe the staff who suggested this timer doesnt realise the amount of inactivity already for crystal defenders at certain times. rarely do i ever see 2 games active anymore. and thats only 40 players MAX out of the whole game

The Daily Gift Box.
We've heard a good amount of feedback, hate and griping about how some items are not very useful or even exciting to get. So, we've finally gotten around to modifying the contents. You now have the ability to receive, once a day, one of the following items listed below from the Daily Gift Box for Premium Accounts.
- Jewel Chest (1 ~ 5)
- Box of Chemicals
- Box of Catalysts
- x2 EXP Medal
- x2 Drop Medal
- HP&MP Booster (Party)
- Defense Booster (Party)
- Speed Booster (Party)
- Critical Booster (Party)
- Agility Booster (Party)
- Damage Booster (Party)
- Life Insurance
- ROSE Teleportation Ticket
- Soul Crystal
- Re-Roll Hammer
- Premium Coin (25 Premium Points)
- Lucky Spin Coin
- Nepturune
- Arua's Blessing
- Gold Bar
- Plain White T
Leonis,
Are the items in the boxes character or account bound? Or they free and clear of all restrictions?
Also, I look forward to the new map, it looked great, you all did a great job on it from the old Clan Wars map.

Not only that, but being able to go only once a day means you could out level a dungeon and the items inside might not be so great anymore
how does that pertain to implementing cooldown to PVP GA? You think you can just make a smooth transition with words hoping people won't make this connection? Sure this change great for people who do dungeons but you're gimping people's ability to play CD whenever they want.
So with that said, you're basically forcing people to purchase premium just so that they can play CD as frequently as they used to? Think about it. The players now have to PAY MONEY to enjoy CD the same way as before that they could do for FREE. Warpportal will be losing a lot of players as a result.

As you've said, Bendersmom, we are ok with changes. That is the nature of the beast with development. If it turns out a change is not successful or causes more harm than good, change will follow.Can't wait to see Draconis Peaks. Premium is actually worthwhile for me to get again. The 1 hour timer actually gives more chances for Dungeons and as far as the PVP maps, we will have to see. The Devs are ok with changes if given enough valid reasons. If the PVP maps are not going often enough all we have to do is explain to them what is going on and they might change it. Best to just try it out.
The 1 hour timer, was to increase the accessibility to the dungeons. However, we also took it as an opportunity to bottleneck the PvP as well. I know you all hate to hear this, but even being a free to play game, efforts will always be needed to keeping some sort of value to paying at some point or another. Up until now, PvP has been totally open. We haven't removed your ability to participate in PvP, this is only going to reduce the frequency and convenience of how soon you can get in to it. There are going to be items we will be offering that will remove the timers from the Game Arena modes, so you may immediately re-queue, if you so choose to, but this is going to be a paying service. Premium users will now have the advantage of not needing to be concerned with the timers, in addition to the existing benefits.
This is still a free to play game. Many of the game's features are still accessible. We are still continuing to work on new content and features that will help add to game play and allow players to have more and more to do, as time goes on.
Pegasus skill changes will not be in this patch. That is intended to be around Summer's beginning. From here on till then, we will be working on the skill updates, balances and testing on Pegasus once we have things ready for testing. Then we will begin the balancing, that is expected to take up more time than the actual development time to implement the new mechanics.I think we should wait how the patch will change ROSE gameplay and complain AFTER it not even flooding before - maybe their ideas are good maybe not we will see.
I like the daily gift boxes change - makes it a bit more worth buying premium!
will this patch also include the skillchanges from pegasus?
New costumes are next week, for the new month.i actuly dont care abaut CD or UW becose am not a pvp man,but like it the new content anyway btw will there be any new costumes out also ? in lucky spin and so on ?
The items are however they are upon purchase through the Item Mall or obtained otherwise. The only true unique items would be the x2 Exp & Drop items, which are still character bound.Leonis,
Are the items in the boxes character or account bound? Or they free and clear of all restrictions?
Also, I look forward to the new map, it looked great, you all did a great job on it from the old Clan Wars map.
This bug has been addressed several times, why it keeps occurring I do not know and it will have to be looked at again to see why it is happening still. If a fix can be found before maintenance, it will be implemented, otherwise look for it in a future patch note.Is their no plan to fix the bug related to the spawning of the npc outside the gates in Orlo in this maintenance?

Isn't this just a sugar coated expression for "GIVE ME MORE MONEY" ?

either remove it or give specific times for ga to happen with an unlimited ammount of participans, basicly bring uw back.
for being a free to play server u need to spend a load of money to enjoy.
