Event Period: May 1 - May 31, 2016

As you have probably all heard we are celebrating the 3rd Year Anniversary of Ragnarok Online 2 and we are hard at work trying to make sure the next year is better than ever.  

 

In the spirit of the things to come we are having a month long EXP Event.  That's right, some of you may have already noticed the massive boost to EXP, but just in case you missed it. 

 

May Scavenger Hunt

Event Period: May 1 - May 28, 2016

Each week, a theme will be revealed. You will need to search for things in the game that follow this theme, take a screenshot of it, and submit a forum PM to Vmod Salsa.

Once judging is done, all screenshots will be posted along with their scores!

 

Rewards
"This sounds like a lot of work! What's in it for me?"

  • 4 people: 2 points each
  • 5 people: 1 points each

Rune-Midgarts Tourism Guidebook

Event Period: May 6 - May 31, 2016

Do you have a location in Ragnarok 2 that you absolutely love? Or maybe you have a type of location that you love, which are in different actual locations. Either way, the Prontera Travel Agency is looking for volunteers to write guides for their new Tourism Guidebook. They will, of course, reward those who provide usable guides. But more about that later.


What we need is a guide for a specific location that you really enjoy visiting. We need you to show us (with screenshots) and tell us (in writing) why you love it so much. If you have several locations you like that follow a theme (forests, rivers, towns, so on), you can write a guide like that instead.

The Prontera Travel Agency has prepared some examples for you to view, so you can see what we're looking for.


Mt Mjolnir Academy Guide

 

Skies of Rune-Midgarts

 

Rewards

  • There will be 4 Grand Prize winners. From each category, there will be one (1) each: "Best Guide" and "Staff Favorite". We will pick "Best Guide" based on presentation of screenshots and writing. "Staff Favorite" will be the guide we like best out of the remaining entries.
  • Grand Prize winners will get a Permanent Mount of your choice
  • All quality entries will receive Cheny's Sunshine Box

Check out the event topic for more details!

When WP got the source from the devs, did they also get any work in progress (class balance, standby character fix, etc.)?

Or is WP starting over from scratch?

I believe the biggest work in progress content they got from the Gravity devs was Niflheim, which will be the next map presumably for ML 45.

Knight is a natural tank in first place, not the main dps. Compare knight with other tank like beastmaster and monk. Does that other two have imba dps like knight now? Bet you that even without bt knight will still be superior than other two.

I main a knight since 2013.. I have tanked all raids dungeons pre ML .. BMs have huge HP buffer and self heals .. Monks have crazy def and can 1 shot mobs as well. Warriors.. wars have everything good going for them. For knights, to be a decent knight IMO you have to be a well-geared one.

 

I know how hard it is to tank when the DPS in your raid party will out aggro you because you cant do decent damage.. even now, rangers, sins, sorc and wiz and even priest will out aggro you when you tank raids. The chance crit spike is just something that we look forward to. Not that people raid here anymore anyways. Most players understand raids now as 1 high ML character soloing PVE arena for FF title while everybody waits on the side.

 

Other classes like sins and sorcs can 1 shot people, ranger DOTs are op too... Priest and Wiz DOTs are more scary than BT were swordie class miss more and crit is like a lottery .. IMO .. SMs can one shot as well ...

So you tanked since 2013 huh, haven't you heard the Provoke skill and mass provoke of knights? You can steal the aggro with that. And OMG Capt Murica I love it   :V  :p_laugh:  :p_laugh:

You cannot spam provoke and mass provoke on a constant basis.. and even with provoke a ranger will steal aggro within a few seconds and that chance crit heal from priest and while provoke and mass provoke on CD. Having that constant  crit spike especially with shield boomerang actually contains mobs to me along with GC .. and these skills don't do much damage or really be effective in CC without BT in place.

i always lol so hard on those people butthurt saying to nerf about BT. is not BT the problem here please.

i play swordman > war since OBT at SEA. it was never BT make us become imba(or used to) is the update that make BT become unstoppable

eg; +80 rune, cls rune, card and so on, normal decent war/knight now have atleast 2.5k int so yeah it was and never BT will be problem

i remember back than is fun to play anyway class w/o those rune.

 

and what? what r u saying? nerf BT on war/knight? if u want to nerf BT, nerf all those DoT class as well.

just look at any raid now JDQ/WL H, most of the 3/4th threat holder is either crec or priest. if u never BT what we gonna use to tank? keep on provoke?

just a sec of threat change will screw the whole raid and prov hv cd, and yet other keep yelling "prov" "prov" while you all over threat us LOL

 

or yeah i play both war and knight

for the one who say if take away BT, knight leave with nothing and war still have alot of dps? what?

tell me what r u talking about? with the new gear since eddga both war and knight lost tons of agi from gear. if u dont put agi rune or hone a normal serenia war/knight only have less then 1k agi.

 

so yeah if u all plan on nerf BT, you should not have implement those +80 rune and cls at the first place

hahaha u want to get 1 hit from a swordie? u better pray, with the lack of agi in gear dont hope u can crit all the time.

but well if u r rich enough to keep on honing and scrub till a prefect hone and keep 2 set of gear, yes dont hope u can get crit in war/knight

and kinda biased on the war thing.. hahahaha .. but yeah .. we actually do need to invest on runes and stuff to be decent at higher levels. Stat wise and gear wise I always saw Wars have better things than knight, I just came back here and I still have to try out the newer gears in game. Then maybe my opinion will change.

 

reason I stick to my hybrid build.. I actually have agi and int and not go full int or full vit like everybody suggested

 

ML gear actually messed it mostly.. since pre ML BT actually is fairly decent

eum, but isn't both bm and monk got low dps comparing to swordies atm? and monks got only one "oneshotting" skill with -_- long cd and can miss. bm got bit better dps than monk but no high def and dmg reduc like monk or knight (well they got one, but can't do anything while using this skill)

 

and yep, on dps test with knight, warrior, monk and beastmaster swordies still got higher dps even without BT (or test version of bt which makes next three attacks (hits) 100% crit). difference between knight and warrior dps is very slight

 

tests were made with clean eddga set just with self buffs on fp mobs or boss (i dont remember)

 

just let game be fair for everyone, not only for your main class

 

and if want to have higher dps go main your warrior lol dun qq here bout bt

Well a point to remember is that they are trying to figure out if the skill its self needs to be balanced in regards to both PvP and PvE. While it does need to remain a viable method of keeping agro while tanking it becomes a problem for PvP. Changing the skill for one use in an easy manner could completely destroy any use in the other area.

 

If the skill its self is left alone then it would require creating specialized gear specifically for PvP; this then would require coding that prevents certain gears in the Colosseum in the first place, and the view of readjusting runes have come multiple times.
