Izlude Cave last boss is bugged, its not dropping Brygan Ore.

If I remember correctly, it's the same in SEARO2. Izlude Cave doesn't drop Brygan Ores too.

Wow, I was not expecting to get complaints for taking something out to avoid the pay to win label... Truly it is a no win scenario, don't worry the elixirs will end up in-game at some point in the near future, we just need to have another means of acquiring them than just Kafra shop at the very least.

Thank you,

And the Maintenance is complete.

People will complain about things no matter what is done xD

I am sure even I'll raise my eyebrow at some stuff along the way as well.

I don't think it was necessary to not release the elixirs, but on the other hand I am glad you guys are willing to hold off on adding them until you have another means for members to get the items.

3. Kafra Shop

A. Rune Enhancement Elixirs

- Rune Enhancement Elixir of Strength

- Rune Enhancement Elixir of Dexterity

- Rune Enhancement Elixir of Intelligence

- Rune Enhancement Elixir of Wisdom

- Rune Enhancement Elixir of Vitality

Removed these Elixirs from the patch as their usage is a bit too awkward balance wise.

After you guys put it in Patch Notes then you take it out last min? After I prepared for it , and I'm not the only one that prepared for it. Swifty and I put already 10,000 RO2 cash simply for this reason, now you're telling us you removed it due to balance? That doesn't even make sense - An extra +5 to your gear will not make a "awkward balance" if anything it'll make people waste even more money to your game, and I have already charged 100$ for item that is coming out. Once again I'm not the only one who feels like this, you guys are basically lying to the community, the Auction House for stuff to make runes went 3x as high because you announced this. Now what are you going to do just revert it? Why couldn't you just follow through with it and just release it, it's part of the game the players want it and it'll make the new Raid ( CoA ) a lot easier.

@Heim , If you wonder why people quit it's because you guys need to stick with the plan and not pull back last min. - ( There are also other reasons , but it seems this week it's this one. )

Why spend so much on a game at once? Do you have so much money laying around to just spend at once? Do you live in the US? For $100 you could have done so much more than this...... you need some help my friend.

I support games that I like , and it's probably cause I live in Canada.

KRO2 Calls the shots. Warpportal is the publisher feeding updates.
KRO2 Does what they want, with or without regards from players.
We're all the customers, we have no power.
Unless Warpportal gets a development kit so they can make their own changes.

The Publisher takes orders from the original, it's how things work.
The Developers have Creative control over money, and the game.
The Game is Governed By KRO2's development team.
Warpportal have no creative control. they govern the game in their language. NA.

Sorry, the only thing this translates to is this:

Baa-a-a-a-ah~

There have been two concerns on this forum that I would like to comment on.

First of all, there is an idea floating around that the players have no say in game balance at all. From my experience watching the forums (mainly during downtime), players expressing their anger, discontent, and frustration with changes (such as the tuxedo/wedding dress debacle), and now this play2win +10 rune deal, I have seen WarpPortal back down more than a couple times. They are listening to the players, and we do have power. This is very exciting, as I have not experienced this a lot in games. Do not forget, people through their representation in society do have power, and the idea that we do not is a lie that is not just impacting the balance of video games, but impacting the non-representation of citizens in democratic countries. You DO have power in this game, and you DO have power in the world whether it feels like it or not.

Secondly, please please PLEASE!!!! Stop w/ play2win ANYTHING. I happily pay for VIP for my two characters monthly. I am therefore handing warpportal $18 a month, because I greatly enjoy their game. However, adding pay2win stuff beyond VIP (rented costumes, these +10 runes) makes me feel like my character will eventually be worthless if I do not spend money. This only serves to demotivate me from playing this game, because I cannot afford to blow so much money just to keep my character from being at a disadvantage. I am a psychologist, and I can tell you that study after study shows that positive reinforcement is much more powerful than negative reinforcement. Buying VIP gives my character a boost, and it feels good to do. It feels fun. However, having looming statistic benefits that are so random, and so costly just makes me feel afraid about my character's viability. This is not a healthy direction for a game.

By allowing players to pay for statistic advantages, you conversely make every other player feel threatened. While the PVP
environment so far (limited to coli only) corrects basic stat differences (except VIP), I do not want my character to become so much weaker in comparison to other players (in PVE) who can afford to blow tons of money on video games. Stay away from pay2win, and please stay away from rental costumes that give stats. I will never purchase something that is random that potentially gives me extra stats that only last for a short period of time. Their existence caters to people who are simply irresponsible with money, or are rich (and more power to those players, this game needs support!) and therefore get free advantages in game.

I couldn't have agreed with you more. I also put in two VIP packs(actually paid with money, not zeny >_>) a month for my two chars and couldn't be happier supporting a game I love through VIP. However like you have stated, P2W features like adding those temp stats and runes is actually making me less inclined to play each and everyday. I'm not even lvl 50 on both chars and as of recently, started to lose motivation to play. This is my second time playing a game with a F2P model and 2 for 2, I think F2P games are horrible, and even more so that they take advantage of two of humanity's biggest vulnerabilities; Addiction and Jealousy. I haven't played WoW for years because I played it for so long, since vanilla actually. Playing F2P games like this makes me realize that I've taken a lot of features for granted, that cost a premium here and every other f2p game.

Tempted to even go play wow for a bit so I don't feel like I'm ripping myself off, getting 20 slot bags with ease, extended bank slots on the cheap, no rare monster Toxic behavior and best of all, I don't have to spend more than 15 bucks a month to have all of that.

[kiryuphoenix]

So im a bit confused on how one acquires the angel wings. Are they an actual equipment or a costume? Either is really cool so long as you can actually see them. Ive seen a lot of them obtained but none actually on anyone. Are they obtainable at any lvl or a certain lvl? Id love to get my own.

[HunkSurvivor]

they reverted the rune elixir change, good job WP

[Memitaru]

For the rune elixirs, you could allow them to be made by alchemists. You could even simply give them a lower chance to give max stats or a chance to fail if that makes you feel better.

Another option is to have them come out of OBBs and OPBs since it'll be mainly level 50s using them or have events like you do with the Karnium (but maybe a higher drop rate since they'll be used more often.)

If I remember correctly, it's the same in SEARO2. Izlude Cave doesn't drop Brygan Ores too.

It dropped for us, it's just not 100%

[Maias]

Major patch bringing new(yet obsolete) end game content...and we have a grand total of 6 pages of the same 15+ people "rabble 'Large Bag' rabble 'Pay2WinSometimes' rabble runes"...Then we have a dev/mod team who are the weakest characters(and most consistent screw ups) i have ever seen, has there even been a patch to date where some change was not halted or reverted due to "community" out cry or your general last minute indecisiveness on if it will "profit", far-less more a smooth transition after that said patch ...rip RO2 2013-2013

TL;DR Get your act together...because from the outside looking in this game looks like its dying and y'all just rushing it to the grave by excessive milking #Fact

-INB4 Deleted

that's what I've been saying, looks like 90% already quit (judging by the server pop.), my guild done disbanded, eventually its going to be another SEA RO. and the lower lvls that don't realize it because people are constantly joining, once you reach 50 you'll realize how barren this game is. oh and kudos on adding another junk item and not the large bag everyone has been asking about

What this game needs is to attract more female players.
