Looking at suggestions for improving high level party play in new areas as well as creating a "through line" quest to take people from novice to Asgard and beyond in a more organic way than Janeway's quests.

 

Did you know: We have a Juperos Dungeon turn in! Mechanic Mike in jupe_cave (49, 53) will give you quests to hunt the mechanical monsters within. The spawns have been boosted and Dimiks removed in Juperos 1 and 2. 

 

 

Events

 

One more week for the Summer Sports Festa!

 

One more week for the Anniversary Quest

 

Next week we are bringing back the Talk Like a Pirate Day quest

 

Camp wasn't able to pull the db list of names for the level 99 trans event but we are doing that distribution this week during maintenance. 

 

We are searching for unused headgear sprites that we can re-purpose for Classic events. Campitor is doing an inventory on possible headgears that can be redone. First headgear will be to make the New Savage Bebe hat from the last WP newsletter available on Classic so players can request an exchange. 

 

Lucky Box/Groove Pack

The Groove Pack from July is leaving this week and we are introducing a new Lucky Box! If there are items you want to see in the box, please make sure that you've posted in our suggestion thread! 

 

Common

40x Level 10 Fencer Merc Scroll

10x HE Bubble Gum

Uncommon

350x Greed Scroll

Imp Hat

Gryphon Hat

Sleeper Hat

Fishhead Hat

Rare

Piggybank Hat

Very Rare

Black Frame Glasses[1]

 

 

Spotlight: Rachel

Warper NPC added to Asgard Village (97, 120) that will take you to Rachel for free

 

Spawns increased on: 

Rachel Field Maps

Rachel Sanctuary Dungeon Maps

Ice Dungeon Maps

 

We have reports of problems with the ice dungeon spawns so we are checking that out this week.

Oda, reduce the numbers of Gazetti. Is impossibel pull with so many.

 

About high level party and others places too:

 

 - Nameless Island

 - Thor Volcano

 

I think we need more mix places to hunt for low lvl. Turn In like:

 

 - Orc Dungeon (50 Orc Skeleton and 50 Zenorcs)

 - Geffen Dungeon (30 Poison Spore, 60 Jakk, 70 Nightmare and 70 Deviruchi).

 - Toy Factory (40 Myst Case and 30 Cruiser) - Is a good place to make some money because the Pearl, Cake and 2carat Diamond.

 

Just some new example to hunt, mainly for the new, force players lvl new fields and taking advantage, droping new stuffs.

 

A NPC showing the way will the great.

Really u did very rare last time for black frame glasses came in. I'd prefer rare or common to actually keep with the average amount the other slotted mids got. And how much are u even charging for this

Slotted mids are essential to competitive play. Stop making them pay 2 win. Thank you.

I'd rather slotted mids with useful effects like BFG being available in-game through questing or counts (TI rewards other than EXP for capped out players anyone?) instead of forcing people to spend money and gamble with rng just to be on the same footing as big spenders competitively.

 

We can only dream though.

Why does anyone care about endow hats when endow scrolls and sages exist. They're literally only good for autoattacking bots. Real players have absolutely no need for them, not even for convenience.

if the endow hats are gonna be common from the box whilst people are rolling for stuff that they need to compete since there's no alternative way to earn them (BFG, piggie bank) DON'T  FORGET TO BOXTER THIS CRAP.

It's not about "need" really. I wanted one because they're cute.

Greed scroll? you're already putting an item that has greed as an active, maybe assump/bless/agi scrolls instead?

if I may ask something, these hats came in with previous kafra box. They're quite rare and unique. I don't know where your logic is really and how would you suggest the GM to change its effect just because you "think" that it would benefit gold farmers.

P.S. If you don't like the hats, you don't have to buy it. Warpportal isn't forcing you to spend money.

Maybe you shoud just put cute, worthless hats in Kafra Shop then the useful hats in events / turn ins / quests that will require gameplay.

Should note tho that they must be in a well-thought of reward system.

I don't want to be like Agido and say it won't happen, I wanna keep asking for it so it will eventually happen. Maybe. Possibly. Hopefully. :p_hi:

 

Stuff that does stuff should require players to do stuff to get stuff that does stuff. Because I play RO to do stuff in RO, if I wanted to spend money to collect stuff that does stuff, I'd play a TCG or warhammer or something.

 

edit: options are a fine thing. I'd have no issue with kp related stuff (for the most part) if there were ingame alternatives.

Some of us are peasants irl you know and have to stream for donations to afford RO.

They just need to make something similar to the Prize Medals. They can customise the system and rewards however they want, but I'm all for rewarding people for actually playing the game. The Spooky Machine is an interesting way to get people to log on every day, but not a very good way to get them to actually play.

 

There's really not much you guys are going to be able to do about high end party play, the best system you have is turnins. You could create moderate sized weekly quests that require players to kill things on multiple levels of these dungeons. This would discourage the stationary mobbing parties that make somewhere like Ice Dungeon unfun for solo players. Honestly the best example of high level party play I can think of is the Bio3 groups that happened on other servers. We never saw much of it here for various reasons, we asked for proper Bio3 spawns for a long time and you denied us over and over.
