this is worse than only having account bound. don't do this.
 

 

you guys need to let go and just unbind everything, what is stopping you from doing this? there is not a single person that supports the bound gear, it is simply mindboggling that you guys just don't give in to something 100% of people disagree with. you put in mega resist pots at the demand of 1 player but you won't listen to hundreds of players. bound gear is not "classic", real classic ro everything is tradable.

Please talk to the community before releasing the 'stronger but account bound' versions of the gear, they need to be balanced.

 

Preferably just don't give any bonus' but keep the ability to make them account bound..

Ya we made some pretty good cases for this with some options in the thread it was first mentioned. Is there any chance you could start to give us some previews of what you'd like to do with the 'beefier' versions? This has huge negative implications and could break the game in many ways, we dont know what you're thinking and this makes us a little nervous.

 

Also, next week is much earlier than I expected the unbinding to happen, this is awesome thanks!

[Ramen19]

Thors implemented?

[ChivHunter]

Can someone please tell me exactly how many hours until maint?

Any chance of un-nerfing element sword combo to proc off a manual cold bolt cast?

 

Currently the combo only works when normal attacks.

[Victoryblood]

will kasa be tkm friendly?

[cybernetic]

Currently kasa's turn on reflect when they have <30% hp remaining, Oda said they weren't going to modify them then how they act already.

[ChivHunter]

Will spotlight be on Kasa's then?

[zerowon]

Updated oca list yes no maybe. I give praise for yes. Don't ask what you got for a no answer but It involves burning a tiki room at a theme park

[Themes]

It was listed in the original notes and then removed, I dont think they want us arguing about it any more.

@ElenaGilbert

 

Can you tell me what is Bio3 area spam please?

 

thanks.

By default some monsters spawn in certain areas, this keeps the map from getting too mobby. Because they spawn quickly in the same areas you can set up a group that just kills the same one over and over. It's good exp that you can do in a group. But it's somewhat easy to grief so the GMs are not interested in dealing with any drama started by letting us have those spawns.

[Leu0238]

will nameless island required quests?

[Wingz89]

Are we having anything for Fourth of July? Like an event or something?

 

Its been some time since we got the 2x Battleground's reward, can we have that implemented as an Independence Day event?

 

A WarpPortal Energy or Kafra Points sales event is also welcomed.

If Nameless Dungeon is going to require the normal quests please remember that the trigger NPC for the Curse of Gae Bolg quest is not in-game right now.

 

Also, the Veins Sibling Quest requires an extremely large amount of green herbs. This was fine on the old servers because the servers were 6-7 years old and most people had a large collection lying around, and goats was a very popular map with the turn-in npc so green herbs were easily available.

 

This server is less than a year old with a much smaller population. Expecting each player wanting to go to Nameless to have to get 1k+ green herbs potentially is just going to lead to bots hunting the herbs and people buying it because it's such a waste of time. You should just remove the green herb portion for the Camels or reduce the amount needed to 10% of the normal amount. Thanks.
