Hello everyone! 

 

We are going to start a brand new weekend event called the Weekend Challenge

 

The event goes like this. We give you players a challenge to do, and you players will have to try and complete it (in the most creative way possible). Each weekend, we will give a different challenge. 

 

For this week, the challenge is this:

 

Try and find what you think is the tallest point, mountain, or building in the Ragnarok 2 world. Take a screenshot of your character at that tallest point and try to include the view you see. 

 

Be sure to post your screenshots in this thread, and also include your character name and a short description of the image. 

 

 

Everyone who posts here will be entered for a chance to win Spinels as a prize!

Since this isn't a contest, and more or less a raffle (at least, it seems that way, considering the description), I figured I'd explore a little, because I've never made it to the top of the tallest mountain in East Mt. Mjolnir (because I was afraid of falling off of the edge of the map), but today; I'm going to try as hard as I can to do so.

 

Take note of my position on my map with every screen-shot.

Tried to get to the tallest spot in East Mt. Mjolnir by using a mountain I'd climbed before,  only to find I was unable too climb that mountain, and it happens to be the easiest route to get to the tallest one. I used to be able to climb this mountain, but since they fixed the bug where people were falling through dungeons, a lot of textures seem to have been fixed to the point where you can't climb them anymore, and there even seems to be a lot of invisible barriers in places, now. Some of these barriers can be bypassed easily by jumping, or by using a mount and jumping, but not all of them can be bypassed that way.

On another note, while climbing that mountain, I found the Sun, which doesn't seem to exist anywhere else in East Mt. Mjolnir, and it also wasn't there the last time I climbed this successfully(which was sometime before they fixed the falling through the dungeon floors bug caused by the WoE Patch), nor was it there when I climbed it a month ago on my Ranger and failed, and fell into a tree, and got trapped in the branch and leaf textures (yay for Butterfly Wings).


Purple Sun:

Spoiler




That being said, after failing to climb that mountain, I found another one that was taller (still not the tallest, though, sadly), and climbed it instead. Culvert looks so tiny! :p_laugh:

Using a single white pixel (arrow pointing to it) to represent what would most likely be a height of a person, were they actually rendered at that distance. I almost fell off the edge of the map on this mountain, by the way.

Now, the time is going to vary on these because I forgot to save a few of these screen-shots.

 

 

On top of the third-tallest mountain, looking in the direction of the second-tallest mountain (yes, it's actually taller than the one I'm on), and the tallest.

Now, I passed between West Mt. Mjolnir and East Mt. Mjolnir many times on this adventure, but I started in East Mt. Mjolnir. I've known the maps were connected, even without the portals, but I didn't think that you could just walk between them. Last time I was over here, there were breaks between the textures, so I didn't risk going further, but had assumed there was a way to just bypass using the portals. Makes me wonder what the point of the portals is, now.

Entered from the NW-most part of Sograt Desert to get to this mountain (in the Road of Bless map) but to get there, you had to start SW in the south city (forgot its name) on the Sograt Desert map and wander NW (using a mount) all while looking for the least steep part of the moutain range to be able to climb higher. Had there been a portal between Sograt Desert and Road of Bless, I believe I'd have by-passed it into the next map.

Edit: Had to upload the image to another site because I wasn't allowed to use the image exstension on the forums for some reason.

SoraOfKHK : I know this place aswell and I have fund one place where you are able to switch through 3 maps with 2 steps without loading the map. I guess the warps still exist cause of the RO1 feeling..

Can't help but expect different people posting similar screenshots, so here's a really old one--

To all those experiencing purple textures and skies:

Please set your System's Regional Setting System Locale for non-unicode programs to default English or use AppLocale to fix the issue. Don't want you guys to go all Barbie-eyed on me.

That was one of the very few purple texture pieces I've seen. Hm, now that I think of it, maybe I've seen a purple sky at times too.

Those bits on that bridge are purple even if your regional settings are correct; or at least when I asked my friends who had no graphical problem they said it was purple as well. My screenshot was from kRO2 and defaulting it to Japanese or Korean didn't seem to help :heh:

The purple Sun was most likely intended, especially since it doesn't appear to be the transparent texture color (FF00FF or this ||||||||||||||||||), and considering the area I was in (next to Haven of Valkyrie), it makes sense.
