1._ Any plans to help Warriors and Knights to change his INT runes for STR/AGI runes for this new MAGIC AND MORE FUN REALITY you put they on? 

 

 

 

 

2._ There are plans to put a cap in stats?, this is really important to know right now, with the cap in Battle tactics you only need like 1k in INT, if Warrior wants to go full STR and Knights full AGI put a cap in this stats in future can make buy or make new runes TODAY a problem.  

 

 

 

 

3._ Want some statement over runes and costume with slots, I am warrior and i don't  want to make more runes or diamonds for costumes if this system is left in two or so months for something new. 

 

 

 

4._ A Mermaid Level 4 hit more than me who lost more than half damage (Thanks Obama i mean Njoror  ), ¿was this the super plan from the very beginning considering you tell us in another Hall Live the idea was no effect the work players put in his characters?.




Who need warriors with super Mermaids!?

Question: Is there any zeny-sink event coming soon? It would be nice if we had one before the expansion patch of Nippleheim is released.

Question:

 

1. Is there any plan to remove the CLS atack , Def on our custome ? ,This rune can take player OP or cant kill because of Too Much REDUCTION on their customes..

 

2. Is there any plan that normal custome can use +80 stat Rune so that this normal customes can be useful again, ,because nobody is going to buy a 3 slot costume atm because of the swag set.

Q1: Are there any new suffix titles coming this christmas patch or will some old titles come back (e.g, christmas rudolf title) be back like what happened to the holloween events and pirate event?

Q2: Would it be possible to make it snow in prontera/alberta? A christmas themed map would be nice. Cheers to holiday spirit!

Question: I wonder how do you feel about current RO2's game engine. Is there any plan to optimize it so we can get better FPS to play (or anything else to accomplish this)?

Q: Will the union system be revisited in the future? It's very out of date and nothing from them is worth getting (except the Iron Cane).

 

Q: Colosseum revival? Give us some really fantastic incentives to actually play colo, such as great prizes and fixing the ability to re-hide plaguing colo.

 

Q: Is the honing system being looked at very heavily? I get very frustrated that I have to spend 30-50 scrubs (or more) on one item to just get something that has the stats I want for my class. Scrubs from kafra NPCs would give us such a good zeny sink.

 

Q: Some RNG rates in the game need looking at, will we see these addressed soon? Seed roll rates, refinement before +10 still uses pre-AoV rates, and card refinement are the main culprits here.

 

Q: Making golden cards epic+ is a very big hassle to anyone who didn't stockpile anniversary cards, since only Anubis, Set and Osiris are farmable cards. Could we perhaps see some new gold cards be made for field bosses? (such as Merem, Vador, Vespa, Willow Worker, etc etc)

 

Q: What direction are you going to take with costumes with the advent of gradable swag costumes? The costume market is dead as swag allows +80 runes and CLS runes. I would really like us to be able to wear our normal costumes that we enjoy looking at and be on the same page as those with swag.

 

Got carried away a bit there, pick your poisons

Question regarding Daily Quest lockout times: Lockout from 00:00-6:00 made sense when this was a NA server, but now that this is an international server,  the lockout is unfair to some time-zones...

Can ALL Daily Quest lockout times be changed to 5:00-6:00? or 00:00-1:00? or otherwise reduced to no more than an hour or two? That would be more fair for players of varying schedules/time-zones.

Cheers!

 

I'll add more questions if I think of any not already asked...

What is your favorite type of bear and why is it Arby?
Will you name your children after me?

Question 1: Are you gonna lower the number of seals required to get CLS attack?

Question 2: Do you guys have a plan of making a complete and official database about monsters, items, quests? It will be good for newbies

Question 3: When will you lower monster damage in dwl, fp and jawaii maps?
Question 4: Gold cards aside from the ones in Osi and Jawaii are really hard to obtain. Can you please make more gold cards available for farming?

[9894131028182715847]

Q1: What are you gonna do about zenny inflation? You need 1M up to buy 3s costumes and 3M up for decorative accesories.
Q2: Will you compensate the people who need to change build with RR and scrubs such as warriors and k9s since there is a 1k int cap?

That was a full stream of "maybe".

[5318130516144610857]

Californians never say "no". They'll say "sure", "maybe", "i'll look into it", "i'll call you later", "i'll do it later" but then never do it/look into it/call you. #hashtag sterotypes

That only applies to those who have no idea what to do with themselves.

How would you know that?

[ZeroTigress]

How would you know that?

I live in California and most people are like that. Not to say all Californians are, but given the culture here, it's to be expected.

It was a #jokeforNjoror, I hope he likes it.

I actually spoke with someone before the stream about how a lot of our answers to questions like, "Can you make this in the game?" or "Can you update this?", are going to be non-committal. It's because we aren't in the habit of saying "no", unless some idea is so poor on it's face that we'd never do it, and we rarely do that because any idea can be fleshed out. It just depends on priority.

 

However, these ideas are usually put away in a Sandbox for us to re-visit at a later time. There is a lot of work on RO2 that needs to be done, plus other new content we're working on already. New ideas have made it from the players to the game in the past, and we value the feedback and ideas, it's just that not every idea is going to be as actionable as the person who presented it may want it to be. A marriage system wouldn't supercede updates to balance and PvP, for example.

 

So, yeah. I had mentioned that my answers are often "Sure, maybe, we'll look into it" because we're not closed off to these ideas, but once we say "Yeah that'll make it in", then there's a verbal commitment to see it through and an expectation from the community for it to be done.

 

Also, as far as it being a Californian thing, I don't know. To me, it's more about framing for players.

 

I'll try and work on my responses, so I know "Sure, maybe, we'll look into it" is pretty lame, but I wanted to add some context for people as to why we do that.

[9632130515120055620]

There were some interesting responses in there (man you picked a lot of my questions lol).

 

I'm still gonna keep hammering on about how irksome the honing scrub availability is outside of events. I can understand why you don't want them from kafra NPCs -- everyone gets great hones fast and honing in KP shop suffers. A better suggesiton I could make then is to have scrubs as uncommon drops from higher level enemies (like greenseeds from FP mobs). Dark whisper, FP and jawaii mobs could have an uncommon droprate of scrubs (~5%). This would prevent buying stacks and stacks of scrubs from NPCs and making the inflow of scrubs more steady and have people work for them.

 

Thoughts?
