Looks like WP never learn from their past mistakes. Full pay-to-win activated!

 

What a classic bait-and-switch.

At no point does any user have to pay to have protection from breaking with refining. It is an option we are making available through multiple means so that all can take advantage of the system.

Yeah but does it start at +7 like the renewal one tho?

[Campitor]

2 questions. How long the HD ori and elu event will be up for?

 

And enchanting amistr bag will be gone next maint? Because if thats so, amistr bag from raffle is useless till february.

[Campitor]

welp lol

To be honest, these are better than the studio suggestions of sealed cards we got back in November. I would rather we work with updating game systems to be a lot less painful than that.

You guys never listen. More than 15+ years opening bunch of RO servers and you didn't learn anything?

I have no words. I'm done with this server.

you deserve the following:

Strong and Mighty Hammer are a content update and permanently in.

 

Players will still be able to enchant Amistr Bags, just they will not be available for questing or purchase.

wat is this safe refine private server garbage

 

 

at least there's path of exile to fall back on for when only bots log in after next maint 

[DarkangelUK]

Ohh hey guys we all know you hated the refine event not so long ago so we are going to make up for it by taking this large jar of salt over here and stuffing your wounds full of it to help the healing process! This update looks nothing other than milking your player base through desperation because ALL of your focuses have been on the complete wrong things and you know the server is dying...

It's a renewal server, I have nothing but cash shop expectations from it. On the otherhand, the item breaking cushion between 4 and 7 provided an out for gear so that it didn't just build up in the database.

I've easily spent an average of 6 hours a day MVPing over the last month and cannot make the rideword hat using MVP quest items, just because I did not camp one specific and very difficult MVP (LotD). There's probably very few people on the server who will not need to use the SV option. 

Please allow the Piece of Shield and Tablet requirements be interchanged with other MVP items.

please don't bring sealed cards. I already left bRO because of that. I don't want this on here too D:

[Ascar91]

Why???? Safe refine is stupid! I can get around the "you need one item of the same kind" for safe refine. No problem, but HD to get the one EBW you have laying around in your storage because you might upgrade it to +10 someday is now a +10 EBW because mum left her credit card on the kitchen table. Im sad.

[Recaa]

how else are WP gonna pay for Christmas bonuses? MIGHTY HAMMER!

[Aruteeru]

Strong and Mighty Hammer are a content update and permanently in.

 

Players will still be able to enchant Amistr Bags, just they will not be available for questing or purchase.

 

I think he was asking about the need of HD Ori and HD Elu, which isn't possible to get atm? Are you gonna sell it in the shop again?

[Campitor]

It's a renewal server, I have nothing but cash shop expectations from it. On the otherhand, the item breaking cushion between 4 and 7 provided an out for gear so that it didn't just build up in the database. 

That is the goal of having the Strong Hammer. Should any piece of gear ever become silly cheap than we will see users burn gear instead of the HD ores. We believe will act to keep gear prices more stable than would otherwise be possible in a renewal setting. Since we have some very smart people that will figure out if it's cheaper to use HDs or Gear at any particular point in time and then use that to turn a profit.

You're making people's hard work worthless, which only shows the players that put time and effort into the game you don't actually care about them. It's only tells the players you only care about the players with deep pockets.

If you do decide to put this patch forward with its current form you will find your real player numbers will drop by about 50%.
You can't say the community didn't warn you.

[Recaa]

please god camp. listen to the people when they say NOBODY wants the safe refines

[HueHueQQ]

The only thing you'd want to decard is Raydric anyways. The decarder being put in for a week at this time is not gonna have any effect on the server.

 

Refiner is stupid. Chill with elus/oris events already.
