Please report if there are any issues with booking instances this weekend. We may have found the source of the issue on the Chaos server and are fixing it tonight.

Ask the iRO team, they're the ones stalling.

well which boards were you planning on putting in next?

People are going to be upset regardless of what I say. I'm harassed enough about this, I have no desire to increase the frequency.

[Kadelia]

I am indifferent to all bounty boards except the BIo3 ones, just saying.

[Talvis]

Shouldn't these boards be used to make bad areas good and not good areas better?

 

Can't they do both?  I would like to see the bounty boards expanded to more high end areas and nightmare dungeons and Gramps removed all together.  Get people back to primarily leveling in the main world.

[sv003]

Dont forget to update the server announcement please, so people wont be confused what the current spotlight and box are

 

Or the update client, mine is still showing Juno Spotlight and May Boxes.
 

[Kadelia]

Can't they do both?

 

No that puts you back at square one.

 

logic with me please talvis

 

0 <-- won't do

1 <-- will do

 

0+1 = 1 <-- will do

1 <-- will do

 

0+1=1 <-- won't do

1+1 = 2 <-- will do

=.= Thanks for the lesson in logic, I will contemplate it through the night.

Let me attempt to restate my point. Can't the boards be used to both encourage use of less popular areas and give a boost to popular areas?

Will MRS Hammer be gone for both servers?

[Trance3D2Y]

Update: The billing maintenance will actually be happening on the 21st of July, not next week. We will be doing our regular maintenance on Wednesday. We are working to get the maintenance contents set early so we can get more done before the maintenance begins which should translate to fewer maintenances running long. 

 

Event:

Anniversary Event leaves

MRS Hammer leaves

Anniversary exp and drops bonuses depart

 

Boxter updated with groove pack items!

 

Rachel Spotlight comes to an end

 

New spotlight! Amatsu/Louyang/Kunlun monsters will have increased exp, drops and spawns!

 

Update:

14.3 will be put up on Sakray for testing, and we will be setting up localization error and bug reporting threads

Would be nice if you can also include SEDORA HAT and ANCIENT ADMIRAL HELM from the May/June box. Those two are so hard to sell. Putting it on the Boxter list would boost it price (currently it's 4M-5M which is kinda sad for a 300KP box).

What Jaye is trying to say is that buffing all areas across the board doesn't change the status quo. Buffing unpopular areas to be up to par with popular areas is how you balance things. What you're suggesting is a very kRO thing to do, making the strong stronger and keeping the weak weaker.

Incarnation Doll and Deviling Hat would be great too..

Literally they could but it'd defeat the purpose of the system

I agree with Jaye on this one. While there would be merits to having BBs in certain areas, it is to encourage exploration into the less popular ones. Bio4 BBs was a genius idea at first because I doubt it was anywhere near as popular as it is now, but it only became popular because it was the only decent area to level in.

 

Technically Bio Labs has become an "out of scope" situation for the boards, but if the boards were removed there then it would reduce right down again. Nightmare Clock Tower is popular already even without the boards in play. It would be very weird if a board was placed there.

please remove Board at scaraba, nogg, and grove since they are already super popular even before the boards are in. to make it consistent to the purpose of the board.
oops, it cant coz the damage has been done? well, typical WP service

They could remove those boards if need be. Up to Tigress really.

[Kadelia]

Bio4 boards seem necessary to me, nobody would do the dungeon otherwise /swt

[Talvis]

the funny thing is, if the bio boards and a couple other boards didn't have their level caps removed, prior to nightmare ct, there would have been no rational places to level much beyond level 160 because of the level caps.  Giving Nightmare CT and the other nightmare dungeons bounty boards would give classes that have a hard time getting into bio a place to level of similar caliber to bio.

I'll admit that Nightmare ct is good exp on its own, but for most people I doubt they could pull the same exp as people who can get into bio parties, considering how long it can take to kill the monsters there and the low monster density.

Okay.

You are the best, Jaye!

hi guys

 

anyone else got dced and could no longer reconnect?

[TacosNachos]

same here

[Squatter]

Dc for a while now. Not even a warning. I hope this gets fixed even if its a sat.

[DeadIntern]

A dc with warning is called maintenance. We have that every wednesday.

[Squatter]

A dc with warning is called maintenance. We have that every wednesday.

 

So a dc without a warning is not called maintenance, which I never even mentioned. And its not even a wednesday, therefore you make no sense.

 

So, still hoping that they can fix it even on a sat means there`s something wrong, right?

 

Update: server now fixed, thanks gms...
