Additional comments: 

 

We understand that there are still many issues the community is concerned about. Below is a list of issues we consider as top priorities, and will be working with the studio closely in regards to changing, fixing, or improving them.

 

1. Primary and Secondary stats may not be working as intended

  -This is likely causing several classes (especially Magic classes) to feel imbalanced compared to others as well as contributing to problems with weapons and gear. 

2. Master Level System

  -We are aware that it is difficult to acquire Mastery Points, thus raising concerns in Mastery Points Loss and the Cost of MP Items. 

3. Refinement Cost, Benefit, and Disassemble Drop Rate

4. Drop Rates being low for certain items dropping from monsters/bosses

5. Quests that are blank or giving errors

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[zJuliusx]

So ALL Explorer Elixr Packs are Fixed right? I have like 3 packs unopened.

Edited by zJuliusx, 07 January 2014 - 01:52 PM.

[DcenCy]

mmmmmm im w8 good pach  

 

[jdmtouch]

So nerfing dot's, mastery point system still screwed up, dungeons from previous raids still obselete, and end game still being grinding to mastery level 20 and Osiris gears is pretty much what I got out of it from these patch notes or did I misread something?

endgame always has been grinding and getting gears though.

[Ishvarna]

I'm confused a bit about the nature of the DoT and HoT table? Why is there such a disparity in the %s on magic classes and physical classes? Is the current formula using the physical attack power of the equipped weapon to calculate magic damage?

[Lecksy]

Will skill resets still be around? And what about Falcon Assault missing 100% of the time? (Is that technically a DoT?) MATK? Rawr?

 

[TatsuyaKeith]

I'm confused a bit about the nature of the DoT and HoT table? Why is there such a disparity in the %s on magic classes and physical classes? Is the current formula using the physical attack power of the equipped weapon to calculate magic damage?

 

Probably they are using the Magical Skill Damage effect thing, that is Magic Power*0.12 for the DoT and HoT modifiers, while the other classes are using their raw Attack Power, hence the disparity in the %s.

[SonicTMP]

Well they got a day to add to it, but probably going to have another drop in player base with ignoing of the big issues. And another anime mmorpg just went into open beta i beleive.....

[jdmtouch]

endgame always has been grinding and getting gears though.

 

 

i don't recall the endgame making all previous content obsolete and pointless to get, ever heard of gear progression? apparently you haven't

Rogue and ganster paradise maybe

[Lukiner]

xD oh man this was so obvious that won't be serious patch that people awaited

 

 

4. Quests 

 

A. Several quests have been removed to streamline the Questing Experience (any experience the removed quests used to give have been distributed to the remaining quests)

B. The following quests have been removed

so why you just don't remove also all side monster that were related to those quests you just removed? there is no point of the to be there if you don't need to kill them for specific quest? cards/dna? LMAO you can grind/farm cards/dna of those monsters at lv 50 not during levelling when you need lots of different quests. When I was leveling my first character I (and I bet there are plenty of others) enjoyed all those side quests and now you removed?

and there goes all the hope that January 8 patch will fix this stupid Master Level system that requires grinding on most broken nonhuman level ever. Wp&Gravity shows their disrespect to people who were pointing whole time how bad, broken and not-fun/not-friendly is this "Master System" (grinding mastery points 24/7 with perm cash shop items unless you want to grind for years to get master ranks or even all skill points, stupid new master level skill point system that require buying them with mp instead of getting them per master level, death penalty, etc...)

 

not to mention also dat broken stat system aka "PUT EVERYTHING INTO AGI", new disassemble rates or even not balanced pre-AoV gear that don't makes sense on certain classes (example monk and his bonus dodge from AGI when he get almost no AGI from his pre-AoV gear - LOGIC = DEAD)

 

"and will be working with the studio closely in regards to changing, fixing, or improving them."

If you think that most of player base who left this game after introducing AoV will return to it because you ONLY fixed few bugs and changed DoT/HoT system then you are wrong... R.I.P. RO2

NO PROBLEM GUYS ALL PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED ON PATCH AT JANUARY 8

 

<week later>

 

herp derp NOPE, enjoy broken boring game

Rogue and ganster paradise maybe

*points to the gangster's paradise thread*

Gangster's Paradise is fixed in this upcoming patch. We are releasing the notes here soon, just finishing some wording on them.

[KnightQuestions]

So, not even gonna bring up the whole large bag thing zanbee?

 

Removing 30 quests which apparently caused people to be underleveled which you said in the post streamlines the quest line? What?

 

What about the issue of people on the forum and in game having problems with magic and such using too much SP?

 

 

[hanoboy]

assassin's Shadow Explosion is bugged also its not doing the amount of damage it should. pls check it out its showing the damage from 1st strike and 2nd strike animation but if u check the monsters HP its only recieving the 1st strike damage and the 2nd strike is just like a decoration numjber damage without any damage at all please fix it thank you.

[raela]

Hey, it's not like getting Master Levels actually benefits you right now.. I'm not that upset by that not being changed with this particular patch. DoT fix will hopefully even up PvP so it's not all rangers all the time, and hopefully matk will also function better off of this. Look at it this was - Kafra Shop updates are minimal and there are quite a few changes.

 

Looking at the SM in the table.. Cure only goes to 5? I wonder if that means their skill table got changed, or just an oversight.. Please tell me reset scrolls are left in for this!

[Splendens]

Regarding the removed quests, are the zeny rewards also being pushed over to remaining quests?  Cause that's a fair chunk of change lost if not.

[DarkKurayami]

What about stat issues?

[Reyaje]

1. Some people cannot select characters. It puts them in character creation screen instead.

      -If you are experiencing this issue, please be patient while the devs fix this.

 

- What about this? This bug is also considered as top priority fix right? 

[Sestuplo]

i don't recall the endgame making all previous content obselete and to only embrace the new content, ever heard of gear progression? apparently you haven't

 

Bapho and PvE were obsolete when CoA came around, and the only reason why CoA was relevant was because it was needed for the other raids.

 

 

and yes, I have heard of gear progression.

 

it went something like RHD>Colo Gear>oh wait that's the entire gear progression

[U2v85]

hmm if both reduce damage from dots farming master points will be much more difficult and take a long time to kill the mobs.
Another thing points to buy skill points to master level will continue costing 35 million each?

[Haboob]

Agreed.

 

It's a huge punch in the gut exp issue is just mentioned in this patch yet ive been vocal about it for 3 weeks.

3. Refinement Cost, Benefit, and Disassemble Drop Rate

 

 

Thanks for the update. I'm glad WP/Gravity are making a serious effort to address these issues. I'm a bit disappointed that some big issues like the MP rate and disassemble drop aren't being addressed this patch. These are pretty big issues that make the current gameplay pretty tedious. But I am glad they are at least acknowledged as problems, hopefully they'll be fixed soon.

 

I'm finding the dot damage table a little confusing. For the rows that indicate damage + dot, the percentage listed is supposed to be the total damage received from the attack and the dot? or just the dot? The damage + dot part suggests its both, but some skills list the same percentage for every column suggesting otherwise. For example Lightning Bolt lists 10% damage + dot for every skill rank 1-10. The skill will have to increase somehow with extra skill points so what does that mean? Does the dot aspect of the skill stay at 10% and the damage increases (and is unlisted?). If it does refer to both types of damage how much damage does the initial attack and dot do individually? Can we get some clarification on this? Also I'm assuming all of the skills listed now have dots (since several did not before), is this true?

 

Will skill/stat resets still be around? With the major changes coming they're really still necessary.

[IamLt]

So with the removal of 160 quests...Do we see the rise of the new Grind 2 Level Ro2? In which case may I humbly suggest that when you party with your fellow players you don't lose a percentage of your exp per mob kill but rather GAIN that percent.. As to you know...ENCOURAGE PEOPLE to actually PARTY with one ANOTHER? Thus making leveling fun and something you actually want to DO? Just a wild and crazy idea.
