What are the small graphic issues, UI problems, and other things that bother you while playing the game? Maybe they don't ruin it but if they weren't there you'd have a better experience.

 

Please go into as much detail as you can. I will be sharing this information with my studio contact and the studio director.

I am copying some posts over from another thread that was on a similar topic.

- Stormgust animation is way too thick. Reducing Wizard AOE so they're more transparent would improve gameplay greatly.

- Magnetic earth is way too shiny and bright and obnoxious. It would be better as a single blocky colour imo. It makes it too hard to see songs, etc.

- AoE of skills isn't entirely clear. Example - pneuma being able to see the 9 tiles it affects instead of this random green blob would help.

- bowling bash gridlines. They can be the difference between life and death knowing where they are.

 

 

related - position bugging. Being able to "reload" all the sprites on screen so we know where they "really" are would be huge.

Is that a general question because....
 
I wanna see BB lines without RCX
Mini effect is terrible and should be more mini
 
There should be a texture free client that retains elevations

 
 

I'm answering as someone who don't use edits because I'm too lazy to read what is allowed or not, and to look for 3rd party programs, but I think there are a lot of things that disturb the visual experience of the game. I understand that these will probably take a long time to take effect if at all, but since I know you take the communities feedback to the dev teams, so I'll name a few of what I think could be better on the game as a whole:
 
- Cursor don't stand out as much as it should;
- VFXs block the vision of whatever is behind them, specially if there are many VFXs piling up. This makes the cursor problem even worse;
- The cast circle doesn't display the correct AoE of skills;
- There's no Hierarchy in loot display/grab. For example, it should be something like this: Cards should be large and always be displayed first, instance/quest items second, then gears, then rare items, then other stuff.
- (I think this is not client-side, but) Loots become FFA too quickly. They shouldn't become FFA at all, or only in the last 3 seconds or something.
- Structures block the vision of whoever is behind them. I know this is related to old 3D tech, but it could have been fixed a long time ago, since the technology to make structures see-through whenever there's a player behind them is quite old.

The fact that iRO is the only one that limits how far your camera can go no matter how big your monitors are.

 

Please change how much zeny each character can hold, I don't want to make anymore accounts and I am definitely not paying VIP just to make 9 on them. 

 

Magics and shaking everywhere during PvP/WoE is really annoying.

 

No proper timer for any converters or anything like that. You just guess when you are running out or damage the mob to see the difference.

 

Important items should be larger not just random things like armor. I have to look really carefully during ET to find crimson gears like katar, violins etc.

 

Something that lets you destroy your items more easily, I can't put this rune plate anywhere.

 

AoE of skills like SG going out of the circle is something that's there but you pretty much just learn that.

 

You can never tell whether or not you are stone cursed or wtv when you are in THQ or Spear Quicken. 

 

 

 

[Myzery]

Changing the cursor color is nice. I have mine as a wild color, but it would really help people in WoE.

[Xellie]

Stuff like dispell could be clearer too. I quite like the ones that look like this

 

 

And uh, icons on the side for statuses would be HUGE too. If they could be applied to party window even better.

[KriticalAssassin]

Certain buffs that get removed when changing map servers, like transformation candies and windwalk(there are also some others) and as stated earlier, location lag.

[vanillacoke]

Graphics issues when playing with nvidia graphics cards from 7xx series up to the newest ones.

 

definitely made my gameplay worse.

 

p.s. bowling bash grid lines without using 3rd party program.

The following sequence of actions produces an error handler:

 

1) with antonio armor equipped

2) click to feed your homunculus

3) while the okay/cancel dialogue is open, before you have a chance to click, a monster suddenly spawns and starts attacking you

4) antonio card teleports you

5) feed your homunculus

6) clicking okay or cancel crashes the client, char selecting crashes the client, bunches of other things crash the client

 

this is a pretty small bug, but also pretty obnoxious. (and I still get hit with it, despite knowing about it for 10 years)

 

I also get an error handler and char-stuck-in-instance if i have alt+u open while reserving+entering hazy forest. (this might be because i run RO under WINE though)

Not the thread for this.

mmm, the thing that ever rlly bugs me (classic btw) is when i accidentally grab my chat window and move it off screen. its a small gripe, but if we had an option to lock its position perhaps?  and autofollow bugs out a lot. i stoped doing certin in game stuff solo because its always such a pain to bring a bard or priest or both with me. again verry small gripe. lastly, i do wish i could get just a little more zoom out.... like vertically 5-8 more cells. to kind of fix this i play with more of a tilt on my cam, and walk as if the top right corner of my screen is forward. but this can bring up other small lil issues outside of pvm.

• The client still uses DX7, and kRO never finished the DX9 client.
• Effects and their radius are horribly displayed in game. (Storm Gust being blinding, Pneuma not even covering it's radius properly, Volcanic Ash not covering it's radius properly, etc).
• /mineffect is basically useless. Only having 9? effects that actually use it, and the difference between it being on and off is barely noticeable.
• Gear and item description UI is archaic. (kRO slightly improved it with a comparison window, but it still reeks of old. Especially when items now have so many effects and stat boosts to them).
• Most status effects are impossible to see when there is a large group of players, due to how small they are represented (Curse, Stone Curse, and Frozen are displayed nicely, but things like Stun, Sleep, Burning, Crystallize, Slow downs not being displayed at all aside from walk speeds, etc are badly shown).
• The passive stat buffs from guilds are worthless. Both in the stat bonus they give, and the radius they apply in.
• Bowling Bash grid lines are the most confusing thing for most players trying to play a knight.
• Instances starting cooldowns by talking to an npc outside of the instance.

So should I include small annoyances in our server, but have been fixed on kRO years ago? Because that's pretty much what majority of my issues are.

• Many status effects and buffs do not have status icons here, like they do on kRO.
• Our UI buff duration timers are literally useless.
• Our UI cooldown timers are literally useless.
• Pets hunger bars.
• Hallucination is a mess.
• kRO made a invite command for guild, so it can be as convenient as inviting players to party.
• Screen shaking effects can't be turned off here, while they now can be on kRO.
• Moving things from inventory/cart/storage with shift/ctrl clicking the items.
• All daily quests were switched to end cooldown at 6am (I could be off on the time, but it is early morning) rather than last 23 hours after doing the quest.

I could go on about the things that have been fixed on kRO 3-4 years ago, but still haven't reached us but I think I would hit a text limit.

The max level aura. Can we have it revert to the original compact blue instead of the current blaring eyesore?

/aura fixes everything.

What bothers me is the past updates in kaddies thread is still very long and it's taking to long to catch up to 6 months to 1 year behind kro

[DarkGazer]

Position bugging is probably the most obnoxious graphical issue that needs fixing. Getting hit, getting knocked back, using certain skills and using certain items while moving just screws up the sync between the position of the player's sprite and the player's real position.

[KamiKali]

1. Aura

2. Storm Gust, Lord of Vermillion, Meteor Storm

3. AoE buff Skills

4. No timers for buffs such as Converters, proof potions, Pneuma, Safety Wall, etc

5. No timers for debuffs such as Stasis, Howl, etc

6. Having ability to snap target on Allies in WoE

7. No @Refresh

8. Screen shaking

9. An updated Kaleidoscope would fix some of of this.

10. RCX would fix all of this. :/ cept @refresh and stasis/howl timers.

Nothing makes me rage more than DC'ing because you clicked on a cell to walk after talking to an NPC. Happened to me twice in geffen magic tourney in this past week and i almost took a swing at my monitor.

[Pixvoly]

Organizing Bounty Board tracking in both active and inactive tabs, there needs to be a column with a drop down list for each level ranged picked up and their counts. Example:

 

Jueno 70 - 110

Spoiler

Goat

Harpy

Sleeper

Grand Peco

 

Juno 101 - 150

Spoiler

Deleter (ground)

Deleter (sky)

Nightmare Terror

Venatu (purple)

Venatu (green)

Venatu (oranage)

Venatu (blue)

Apocalipse

Position bug:

      from my experience: GX - sometimes you cannot move even if you spam click everywhere, have to use backslide to be able to move again

                                        others - 1 second lag before you can move again

 

Vending:

      cannot right-click items while preparing the vend. This makes it hard to distinguish similar gears with different enchants, for example, and cause some mispricing, mistakes and ragequitting XD

 

Instances:

      DC from instances, either server or user side. Can suck it up for the daily instances but for the week-long cooldown ones... cri

      *Is it just me or does Nidhoggur Quest bug out on Guardian counts? It happens fairly regularly in my experience

 

Kaleidoscope:

      ETA please. Heavy precasts on WoE beats a New Year's firework show in China. /effect solves this somehow but doing so can be of a disadvantage as well (pnuema, aoe range etc)

• pet sprites/animations, a lot of pets have glitched animations etc (Evil Nymph, Green Maiden and more)
• pet talk tables, we are missing a lot of these :X
• pet illustrations, some are not using the correct ones (like White Lady)
• pet hunger bars, so we don't have to re-open the pet window or leave it open period
• being unable to rename pets, even though you have an NPC which can mimic this

:Y

They bug out often if you kill more than 1 Guardians at the same time. Killing them one at a time reduces the bug occurrence.

can we rename homuns as well please? :3

 

@Fier

oh wow TIL, ill change my ways thanks
