What's Up

• Card Reinforcement Update
  • We intended to patch this in today but experienced some bad crash issues with the new items, so we're re-scheduling to next Monday for this. A crashing update does not one any good.

 

What's Next

• PvP Updates
  • Working on a rare issue that caused the channel crash this morning in WoE, should be a fix coming soon. The issue requires a super rare set of things to happen, and only during WoE, so we're not predicting another issue but we're going to be watching Saturday.
  • Working on new textures and other art for a new set of PvP equipment we want to come out in the first half of this year.
  • Working on a balance buff for PvP zones to force PvP items and help balance it separate from PvE
  • Looking at certain exploits (coughJehoonGatecough) and other bugs we need to tackle, plus where we can update/add to current maps (example: bases in WoE)
• PvE updates
  • Working with staff and volunteers on new quests, adjusting experience to key zones that need it, and overhauling leveling for sometime in the first half of the year
  • We have an idea of what we're going to do for our 4th anniversary in May, working on how we can get it implemented now
  • Wanting to shift development focus on bringing in new content for players to tackle, even if just new questlines or something to continue the story, since we know Niflheim is going to take a long of artist/programmer/designer time since it was not nearly fleshed out.
• System Updates
  • Seedrune update is partially completed,  but we have focused on some backend bugs plus card reinforcement update. Delays in card update have caused issues. We don't have much documentation from the prior team(s), so it's not a simple look-up when something crashes or doesn't operate like it should, and can take days to resolve.
  • We're still looking at item pricing for changes, expect those to still continue to roll out as we deem stuff necessary to change
• Holidays Events
  • Testing Valentine Event on our test servers now, aiming for Feb 13 launch. CMs are planning new events for this, as well.
  • March has the Mimic treasure event
  • April is Spring Festival
  • May will  have new 4th anniversary event
  • Looking for June/July/August events to do now. We had a proposal from years ago for a Midsummer Festival, but never developed.

Are the servers still down? It's 8:00 // 20:00 Central Standard time and I'm getting "Can't Log into Server: Please Try Again Later".

What's Up

- waiting for ingame funny updates

We intended to stay playing and having fun with guild mates and friends but experienced some bad issues with the last patches, so we're re-scheduling to any other online game for this. A lack of update does not one any good.

[cacamarisa]

kRO2 must have given iRO2 what they managed for Niflheim and iRO2 mistakenly thought it was a full update and hyped it up before they got a good look at it. Then once they realized it wasn't as fleshed out as it should've been, they couldn't really unhype it. I thought iRO2 would learn from their previous mistakes not to hype stuff up unless they know for sure, but I guess not. Oh well.

Is this the new Patch Notes?

Is HHB up this week? Or.....

Anything notable patched?

...    ...    ...   ...

[Marky523]

This is very sad   I was actually expecting something good on this patch because of the rescheduling last month but it turned out to be the worst patch note ever...   All hopes are gone.

[Memeqq]

RIP. So boring at all.
Think about what your customers want.
We all ve been waiting since december. Omg. And all updates still the same. Not good for grinding players(x1), for pvp players and etc
Remember. TO LOSE A CUSTOMER IS EASIER THAN TO FIND A CUSTOMER.
its time to quit
Goodbye ro2

Since there is no HHB this week, nor is it Dapara's week,

but a handful of new players looking for something to do,

and finding no grind parties nor any sense of community;

perhaps you can make this week an xp event just to tide

them over and bring some grinders together for awhile?

 

Personally, I won't be grinding, so I don't ask for myself.

I simply ask because I interact with many new players...

and lately they are having trouble figuring out what to do

once they are ML. They get lonely and bored quickly if

there is no event going on. They quit before they hit Osi.

 

If the Morroc dailies gave more XP for ML1-20, they might

be inclined to atleast do those... but as-is, it's not enticing.

Leveling alone isn't either. GIve new players something to

work together on for now. Please. Keep them interested...

 

I once feared that the xp events were likely to result in this sort of thing,

leaving people disinclined to level up without one. I always thought that

reducing the xp requirements to the original values, & increasing daily

quest xp rewards might be a better way to keep newer players steadily

invested in the leveling process. It's sad to see new & old players quit.

 

Thank you for any consideration of this request.

Our future population depends on how you hold   

the new players, as much as the old, if not more.

Serious question: how many developers are working on this game and can you not hire more/drag some from other areas of WP? We haven't had any new content since jawaii in august 2015 - there's just nothing to do at all, no reason to log in. Even PvP content that is supposed to keep people playing MMOs between updates like colo and the insanely boring WoE are dead. Stuff like seedrune changes and balance is fine and all but we were promised this stuff 2 months ago - I actually think there's one single dev for this game right now, you can't take 2 months to just change numerical droprate values on the backend. Like I really can't see an excuse for that one. We're angry at the game because it was something that we used to enjoy and in 18 months nothing interesting has happened at all.

I think that's a pretty big stretch....

 

http://www.playragna...ews/article/407

 

Does this not count? 

 

 

Seriously though, lately all I see on the forum every patch are people threatening to quit if the game doesn't magically get updates in the next week because XYZ...

 

Remember when WP never told us anything? And we would only get "salestenances" for weeks in-between repeated events? Atleast now they are making an effort to keep the community informed. I think having an outline for future changes is 1000 times better than not having any information at all. Yes, things have been delayed, repeatedly. But they are WORKING on changes ACTIVELY. Versus the 3+ years of lingering bugs and issues that just got swept under the rug, how do you guys not realize how much improvement is going on and has already happened?

 

I feel pretty bad for the game development/management team. They're only human guys! Give them a chance! 

[akemarufin]

Card Reinforcement & Seed Rune update how many "next week" you guys gonna take? 

been hearing this word "next week" like few MT agooooooooooOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[Ayornman]

hmmm... those updates? yeah next week! opps maybe another week or a week after or gazillion week waiting... nevermind... im wasting dollar in this game! duh

[Maxscha]

The forums seem to be missing stuff this week.

As per the game announcements directing us

to,  "Visit our FORUMS for more information."

Please direct me to the information/link? TY~

[Draobyek]

Looks like someone got excited, and put notices up early.
