nothing's said, gravity leaves players behind without any word. what's next ? no more patch note ? We are players we deserve the right to be aware of what's happening.

After this patch all RO1 costumes are messed up in their name. Fix no bugs and more bugs come up, like what.

[crafter4epics]

people don't know that devs are balancing the game. PVP was fun before AOV but now you just need to play knights or any imbalance class & said runes that we can't get anymore in the game (a knight wearing 2 x power 40 the most imbalanced class & combo). Also give WP credit for getting feedback https://forums.warpp...um/375-classes/, I assume we are getting this one time class balance in the near future since game is being balanced now.

dont know about that, the devs once said that BT will get a nerf (in form of active buff) but until now it never get implemented, can't remember how many times class balancing/feedback/similar thread is made but the said balancing never get done in game, sure they fixed a couple of skills bug but thats about it. But i do hope this time is for real.

Perhaps Njoror can shed some light on the status of the green seed nerf and if there is any updates to removing the seed cap (i.e we can't roll high runes currently) if that will be coming soon as well.

Yeah, without the rates being brought back up to what it use to be not gonna fix the issue entirely.  Also, offhand gold slot >.>

offhand gold slots should have not been made available past eddga & what devs did was introduced them again & adding priest (eddga offhands include knights, rangers & sm's), so what about the other classes? gold seeds shouldn't have been included also at serenia but they included them at weapons, armors & pants. devs should have introduced other runes, i think they are planning to since when you datamine there are runes not yet in the game, perhaps penetration rune for weapons or a high constant physical attack that you can put in the next set of weapons so players will abandon their power runes or else sacrifice thus not wear new powerful ones. or they could bring back set effects for gears from LOTS & like completing 5 gears will increase penetration or defense %. we just w9 next content for the next set of gears

 

yes bring back those rates where we can actually get those max seeds since they were being nerfed but for a money point of view, selling them for KP for monetization - power 40 = 20% dmg increase is close to costume set effect 12.5% considering costume is in a monthly cycle that expires while power 40 or greenseeds are phasing out. Serenia below can still hold them though. this should be the last phase out for seeds. gold runes introduced for eddga & red seeds were abandoned, some still use blues for vit & stats. serenia have removed gold from hats, gloves & boots.

[donchan]

At this point it doesn't matter if Serenia offhands (or any future offhands) has a gold slot or not unless they remove ALL gold slots on offhands.  If Serenia offhands had no gold slot, but Eddga still did, then everybody would still just use Serenia weapon with Eddga offhand, cause the stats you lose is so miniscule.

yes introduce offhands to all class but might require a lot of work for devs as well as 2 said runeslot on a non-offhand class weapon(GS w/ 2 gold). though they could introduce effects at next set of gears like next greatsword w/ 50 penetration (non-offhand class weap) vs next sword w/ 25 penetration & shield w/ 25 pentration. just find the value of penetration in computation that will make players abandon their power seed

IMHO, it's ok to leave the green seed cap if anything above that cap also gets removed/reduced.....

Either way, it isn't fair to have both a cap and runes that exceed that cap; one or the other, not both.

And I also agree that all off-hands should have no rune options unless every class has an offhand.

Giving every class an offhand is silly, might as well just remove all runes from current/future offhands.

Lastly, I've seen some of those silly-high-statted capes running around. Really gotta make that fair too.

Give one to every player or remove the stats from the capes. C'mon devs, is fairness so hard to grasp?

we have a drop rate penalty system right? so why not make gear level penalty system as well, for example if the gear have a level difference more than 5, then the lower level gear will only do half of damage on the high level gear, if the difference is more than 10 levels then the damage will get reduced by 75% and so on (be it full set requirement/not) . So no matter what seed you have, with more than half damage reduction people will abandon the old gear, and go for the newest gear with reduced slot, though with this system ml1-30 will be useless against ml40 in woe/pvp.

3 Gms in prontera today and they respond this.......and only this;

 

-They don't know of new content coming.

 

- They are no working in Drop Rate. 

 

 

The rest was.......fooling around. 

[Sowlemia]

basically GM cannot be aware of new contents since they're GM they're here to check whether people respect laws or not or just to answer questions relating to the game itself not concerning the new contents xD

I do hope that some change happens with the drop rate. Too many I know have

gotten bored between waiting for WL to open, then going, then getting nothing.

 

It's a poor arrangement imho, tho I expect it was the Devs way of extending the

endgame and craft values. It really isn't an engaging or rewarding way to do it.

 

My thoughts on the matter of drop rates in Jawaii/WL~

Spoiler

 

My estimation of this process (which may have been ok when more did JDQ)~

 

1) Collect items that are difficult and time consuming to get and/or rarely drop.          RNG

2) Donate, and HOPE others donate too (instead of selling in AH) to open WL.      ~charity~

3) IF/when WL is open, run thru WL the few times you can because of lockouts.    ~lockout~

4) MAYBE get one item drop per run if you are lucky (I got 1 item in last 5 runs).        RNG

5) Breakdown any items you can't use and HOPE you get the mats you need.           RNG

6) Rinse & Repeat ad nauseum... Look; way too much RNG/ faith in charity.

 

Honestly, my time is too valuable to me to keep going thru WL for nothing.

I spend about 30-60 minutes per run, depending on if I harvest the nodes.

My last 5 WL hours resulted in nothing I can use. This drop rate has many

feeling that there is too low reward for the effort, and that their time will be

better spent doing other things, possibly in game, possibly another game,

possibly offline entirely. The drop rate must change to be compelling.

 

Addiction requires a periodic/regular sense of reward.

Not always/everytime, but enough to keep compelling.

Too long with no satisfaction will break the addiction.

 

To offer a solution, not just pointing at a problem, I suggest reevaluating

the requirements to open WL, adjusting for the active ML30+ population.

I also suggest considering that opening WL requires an act of charity...

Hence, those that don't need Serenia/WL, won't be compelled to donate.

I realize, it's not 'donating' if we get something for it, or if we are forced to,

but perhaps consider a reward for donating (some xp or a temporary-buff),

or making it impossible to sell the items in AH?  Inspire us to donate.

 

We have seen with the 'Santa Buff' that it was not easy to get donations

from the players when the items could be sold in AH for zenny instead.

And that item was available to every player at every level; unlike Jawaii.

 

Also, the drop rates within WL need adjusting. DON'T adjust it for a player

that has every possible drop rate buff on. It's not a drop rate BUFF if it's a

necessity for anything to drop. The buffs should make us feel BUFFED!!!

And some of the buffs are not easily available/affordable to every player.

Sure, we can all get the statue buff, but not everyone is using TP, VIP, etc.

It doesn't sell TP/VIP if they only make the drop rates barely rewarding...

What a barely rewarding drop rate does is keeps our attention abit longer.

There needs to be something worthwhile in every run. Reward our time.

 

If participation in Jawaii drops for some, WL availablity drops for us all.

Please do something to keep WL active for those who are not afk/offline.

 

 

TY for providing a space for my thoughts on the matter. Cheers & Best Luck!
