Njoror Njotes
January 11, 2017
Note: We realized that since our schedules are sometimes hectic, we occasionally have holidays on Monday or maintenance not on Monday, that we would do the Njoror Njotes on whatever the maintenance day is for that week.
What's Up
- Dapara EXP Week and sales
- This week will be another light maintenance as we do some backend updates as well.
- Card Reinforcement Update
- This has taken longer than we expected due to issues with the UI, plus us not having access to the prior developers.
- We believe it should be tested and ready by the January 18 maintenance, so that is our target right now.
- We will include a guide, similar to our Cosmetic Fusion guide, when this update goes live.
- Guild Skill: Siege Weaponry
- This is almost ready to deploy, we're aiming for January 18 maintenance
- Guilds will have a buff while in WoE that shows how many available siege weapons they have
- There will be a self-destruct to incomplete siege weaponry to alleviate the large number of incomplete siege weaponry places on the map, focusing on more player-versus-player and less player-versus-framerate
- There will be a hammer item, purchasable by zeny from one of the outside vendors, that will allow you to destroy your own guild siege weapons in case you want to re-assign them elsewhere
- The siege build radius is increased so siege stacking should be less
- Siege creation cooldown went from 3 seconds to 10 seconds
- Seedrune Update
- This will likely be late January, we wanted to focus on getting the two above updates out the door first since they were causing us the most trouble
What's Next
- Seedrune Update
- Better rates, more drops, possibly new boxes or methods of acquisition
- PvP updates
- Some of these will be incremental, some will be large updates to overhaul PvP zones. They'll likely focus on one PvP zone at a time, unless incremental (like siege weaponry guild skill)
- PvP sets and more items are aimed at end of Q1 2017. We need time for art and design to get together on this, plus want to get a balancing buff tested and ready for the zones, or else there wouldn't be an incentive over Serenia gear.
- PvE Leveling updates
- Working on a bigger update to resolve monster difficulty, leveling requirements, and other leveling concerns to make that road less painful.
- Q2 and Beyond
- Legacy Raid Dungeons, Update to Union, 4th Anniversary, Niflheim, Surt's Heart, and more RO1 throwback content in RO2.
