Aloha everyone! This is the place to ask questions for Campitor and I to answer during our Tiki Tuesday live show taking place at 3pm on Tuesdays. Please check out previous threads to make sure that you aren’t asking a question that we’ve already covered.

For example: Level cap raise, gunslinger or other upcoming updates are not yet on the radar for iRO just yet. We’ll have news up as soon as we receive more data from kRO’s development team.

Otherwise ask away, if you want to know how we started in the games industry, what kind of things we do on an everyday basis or even ask what kind of things we’re looking forward to seeing at E3, we’ll do our best to answer ‘em.

Tiki soundtrack of the week: The Savage and Sensual Bongos

Tiki recipe of the week:

Planter’s Punch (Don the Beachcomber)
This is one of the great recipes re-discovered by Beachbum berry for his book Intoxica. The only ingredient’s you’ll really need to hunt around for are the falernum, but you can pick some up at Amazon.

1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz sugar syrup (or swap out agave syrup)
1/2 oz gold rum (Jamaican)
1/2 oz Dark Jamaican Rum
1 oz gold virgin islands rum
1/2 teaspoon grenadine
1/2 teaspoon falernum
2 dashes angostura bitters
3/4 cup crushed ice

blend for 5 seconds on high and pour into a tall glass. Fill with more ice to fill.

The inability for Janeway to raise a novice level beyond 10/10 and not giving Eden Gears to expanded (or maybe only TK class?) class, is it intended?

 

Extended classes are not the most friendly to new players, the kickstart event is intended to guide players towards the more traditional classes. 

Also, are you guys going to add more monsters to the bounty board? Kinda excited because it seems nice to solo once in a while.

 

We are definitely considering expanding the system.

can we get the Shiba inu hat and fidelity necklace together in a single box in the kafra shop for like 1500-2000kp? if we are getting the effects added to these headgears it would be nice to have the headgears available... you said when you originally released them they would be added seperatly to the kafra shop http://www.playragna...aspx?id=282&p=1

 

We are definitely going to be adding them back to the kafra shop in the near future.

1. Why is there a need to help people level from 70-99 on Renewal? The EXP requirements on Renewal are linear, not exponetial like it is on Classic. The Eden Group quests and non-Eden Group quests as well as the natural maps of the in-game world do more than enough to help players get from 1-99 on Renewal. I just can't understand why a low TI for Gramps even exists when the leveling problem on Renewal mainly exists for Level 100+. We all know Level 100+ has bad leveling options, but that is certainly not the case for 1-99. I managed to get my shotgun Gunslinger from 1-86 pretty easily on Renewal and I'm probably one of the worst, most inefficient players in RO. So why?

 

The original goal was to get people up to that 100+ hump to encourage more party play. 

2. When are we getting the rest of the cards on this list?

We have asked kRO about getting more of these and are hoping to get more news on these cards ASAP.

Can you guys disable transform scroll aesthetic effects in woe? I think it's causing lag like costumes did s:

 

We can think about it since costumes are also , it would remove a considerable amount of the usefulness of the items. 

 

Also, can you guys make elven ears [1] tradeable on Renewal? Then implement making Stunning Star Eyepatches tradeable s:

 

We'll talk with the rest of the team about it.

Few questions.

 

Possible to request the shiba inu hat to work the same as it originally does in jRO? that's the first server who implemented it.

 

This is something that the new client we have for WoE TE allows now, so it will be receiving that effect very soon. 

 

Is it correct that gothic heartwing hairband takes both upper and middle slots, when the real hat, the heartwing hairband only takes upper?

 

We'll take a look at the kRO effects to see if this is the case over there as well. 

 

Why can't you use thorn trap or extreme vacuum in bio4 when there are no mvp in that floor? can you change that?

 

We'll look at that as well, but it's likely that that is how it was delivered to us. 

 

Lastly, any chance we can ever make KVM gears not account bound? it takes so long to get the weapons, and you can't even switch them freely between your characters.

 

At this time, it is not likely to be made more freely tradable.

so TE was scheduled for end may but it looks like that's not going to happen. will it be early june? it's just that there's nothing to look forward in ro anymore and TE will hopefully spice up the server a lil'

Vacuum only works on mvp maps.

Are items made by third classes such as +20 foods, celermine, etc. allowed in WoE TE? 

 

We can check that, but many items/buffs from 3rd class characters are not supposed to be in play. 

[Kieri]

Are items made by third classes such as +20 foods, celermine, etc. allowed in WoE TE? 

Nope.

 

 

 

Is it possible to get the elemental tunes soundtrack on iRO? and that hats you get for buying them? 

 

Can you link me to that merch?

Not a direct translation but still accurate:

- +20 stats foods will now be disabled in WoE:TE. If the foods are already in effect, the buffs will be removed from the player upon entering these maps.

 

For things like celermine and HP enlarge those should still work. Haven't seen any patch notes saying they were disabled so :v Though us having +20 foods disabled depends on if kRO sent us that patch as well.

SUGGESTION:

 

Put BattleGrounds Npc inside Prontera Pvp (beside the PVP narrator guy/ Gate Keeper guy)

This should increase level of Battlegrounds activity

 

We do have the battleground queue system...

 

And is it ok that you can mention the proc rates for vanrgand helm?

it feels like it was a wast buying.. and it was good going back to RWH...

(if it cant be mentioned here then a pm would be nice) :/

 

We can't reveal the exact proc rates unfortunately.

Celermine is not disabled.. awesome. Thanks!

Fire Sale npc is on (Prontera's fountain), she is selling the boxes for 400 KP each

It's usually announced when it's put in. The NPC only stays for like 24 hours.

Are we getting both updates (GH and WoE TE) in the same maintenance, or are you going to implement them separately?

 

It will be coming with the same maintenance, shooting for June 4th for implementation on the main servers, with testing starting this week. 

[Facekiller]

id hope they would give us both updates at once since not everybody cares about both pvp and pvm aspects of this game...

[Myzery]

Can you give us a small teaser of what you have planned for our 11th anniversary?

 

Campitor says it is similar to the plot of Antz?

 

kRO allows users to purchase custome fonts packs, is that something we could eventually get as well?

 

Could be something we would be getting in the future. 

[meditation]

Will firesale last until maintenance ?

[Ramen]

For WoE TE, will Ninja's Shadow Leap still be disabled?

[Hissis]

is possible to add new quests on Kick starter event to get level 99?

How come when i wear both the noah hat and 1 eyed glass, the exp, +20% exp bonus on spotlight monsters, they does not stack.  I'm only getting +20% exp when i wear both costume hats.  Is this a bug because both hats says increase +20% from spotlight monsters.

 

We'll look at how the hats are scripted.

There is only one Guild on the server that brings lag problems inside forts and it's only in 2.0. Funnily enough when large battles happen and said guild isent there then no problems are experienced. Lag in 2.0 has always been due to said guild abusing packets. The removal of costume headgears in woe did not stop said lag. Because the problem is something else which the GM's do not give a damn to try to police. We would start seeing results if gm's actually started attending and policing woe. They might find alot of things and reasons why it lags up, pretty sure I can point them in the right direction, especially when it comes to detection.

 

Are you also aware that transformation scrolls are used in woe not to change the appearance but the scrolls give buffs, that effect stats and damage. It's primary use is for use in woe. You should really update all the scrolls descriptions because most of the server have no idea that these exist.
