Nope, it should run until April 30.

 

We decided to run it longer because it took longer for us to get it working.

YAY! SALE again! my hope is starting to vaporize. well, at least you are giving us exp boost until the "solo levelling quests for ML" arrives (maybe).
ah... maybe next week... maybe... someday... maybe...  :sob: 
can you tell us the progress? how many changes are you working on atm? is it worth the wait? you know, waiting for a long time just to get 3 bug fixes or minor changes in a month isn't worth it. at least tell us pls. ty  :hmm:

I'm guessing the "big update" will happen after server merge

If the next patch is really a game changing, I'm hoping for a Title Change too
Chapter 1 : Legend of The Second
Chapter 2 : Advent of Valkyrie
 
then maybe...
 
Chapter 3 : Dawn of Asgard ?

I honestly still think that AoV is a curse to the game. so, yea, i agree with you. real game change = title change. just like what AoV did. big changes, yea right, big "changes".

No items = Few people in jawaii = No raid 
 
Supposedly they are improving the method to level up, people are tired of not finding raid. I'm surprised the "big changes" they do.

Their answer has been "Soon" for over two months. Hopefully they'll come up with a better response.

I know, but I figure I have to keep digging them in the ribs to show them I / We haven't forgotten. I guess I'm just trying to keep it on their 'to do list' along with the other million things that the community at large wants :)

However long it takes for them to make changes to the game doesn't matter nearly as much as to WHAT changes they're going to make. Although if they leave us in the dark for a whole year, that's a different story.

Njoror has a lot on his plate right now. It's not that he doesn't want to read the things, or fix them, or know about them, it's that he can't take the time. KRO2's code is probably a big ball of... Well, bullshiz. Dissecting that is difficult if you can't even figure out where to start to even try fixing/changing the things people want fixed/changed. Nothing is impossible, but everything takes time.
 

Best thing he can do is have a member, or staff member, compile a list of the general things.. Or, ya know, discuss them during a live stream, which is already something he's allotting an hour of his time for to discuss things with the members. Asking users what they want isn't out of laziness; it's out of convenience.
 

Regarding Kafra Shop updates being a common thing, I'll paraphrase something the staff said three years ago: "It's a F2P game. Money has to be made to keep things running while keeping things Free-To-Play. To keep the paying players happy, new content to the shops must be added. It seems like there is nothing but Kafra Shop updates because we get so few major updates, such as WOE, and new map releases." That last part is because the KRO2 developers were just utterly slow with actual content updates. Again, probably because the code is a major cluster-[censored]...  That, and if they had just copied over the content that had existed elsewhere every two weeks (or every two months), they would be overwhelmed and you'd probably end up getting a lot of content at first, but a decline as time passes (which, by the way, we saw in the first year of the game, and the decline thereafter, when they were giving into player demands for content). Basically, asking for major releases even bi-monthly would be asking too much of them. They aren't a massive team of developers like you see in console games (according to the Wiki on them, there's assumed to be 20-50 employees at WarpPortal, compared to oh, 4,700 at Blizzard), either, so there's that...

Yes but alot of issues, fixes, changes and others still waiting in the "list" around 2 years and nothing... "Takes over" probably it's a tricky exit or excuse to evade all the time lost maybe it's too late right now. I don't think about fix all the list with 3 or 6 months with "hard work", it's better fix 1 by 1 but don't postpone and fix it later because right now it's a huge list (2 years list). Bad past work RO2 team. It's the truth. Bad merges, inflation, bugs everywhere without solution, stand by status, class balance, skills bugs and alot of other contents and still waiting but maybe game end first and more than 60% without solution...
Sad truth.
