*Silvervine System
 

Spoiler

What is the silvervine system?

• The silvervine system is a way for players to gain access to item mall items and unique quest items through in game play or trade with other players.

How do I earn silvervine?

• The silvervine cats will offer a serious of tasks that can be completed for a silvervine. In V2 Silvervine can also be purchased with zeny (limitations apply).
• Silvervine Boxes can be purchased from other players that have purchased them in the item mall.

Wait what were those limitations?

• Characters will be limited to the amount of silvervine that can be earn during the month. Currently the plan is that each character can earn about 100 silvervine per month. Silvervine will be account bound so characters on accounts can pool their silvervine earnings. We will be evaluating how silvervine is earned and used to see if we need to change the system.

What can I use the silvervine for?

• Enriched/HD Ore and almost everything that is currently in the item mall.

What will you change in the future?

• Silvervine will be used to complete headgear event quests and some interesting cosmetic option quests we have planned for the future the future.

Aren't you worried about bots?

• We will be monitoring the bot situation for silvervine and adjust the system as needed to meet the needs of the server.

BUG Super Novice Chant (FURY) - Its still not working if you reach level 99 Super Novice with 100% exp!

 

Is it possible to implement a customization item that provides the same as the unavailable skill (CRIT + 50) only for Super Novice with level 99 until the BUG is repaired?

I understand the guy.

I refuse to do a creator or champion, even though MVP was the only thing left of "fun" on the server, simply not to subject myself to the metagame

 

So I think the server should simply go forward in time and launch the third classes, when everyone can do all the content and as a last attempt to repopulate the server.

Let's tone it down please, a user may play whatever class they enjoy the most so let's respect their choice!

Thank you for the report.

This is an ongoing issue and Renewal servers suffer from the same as far as I can tell.

Hey i atleast replied to the guy about it which is more than he has received prior and i explained the answer.  I was legit curious what would be so fun about super novice.

I am all for 3rd classes as long as they are not accompanied by the trash exp system that renewal uses.  That system IMO is what actually chases people away from renewal.  You can't level where you want, the game chooses for you and you are forced into bad areas you may not have gear to support and so on.

A.K.A. "nothing will be done, as always"
 

I complained about this knight's sprite bug for a long time, and even I could solve that problem on a private server, imagine what professional programmers can not do if they have a little interest.

 

This server could be a great success and it was a great success for a while (and would continue to be if it had not been filled with bad business decisions), in respect to this story, I say, if you do not want to continue giving support to the game, close it, it's more dignified than leave it delivered to moths like this.

[Litao]

I am not into 3rd classes because it brings with it OP builds and makes the game feel too easy.

Having said that, im not into classic either. I like the way restart has implemented some renewal mechanics while keeping some classic elements. To me, restart's current system is sort of a middle ground between classic and renewal.

My own opinion of course, but what exactly is the purpose of the restart server, seems a bit redundant. Its eventually going to become renewal, what then? Merge?

I feel that having a middle ground server between classic and restart is a better idea, but thats just me

I fully agree
advance in time (giving us content) and make the necessary adaptations, creating a hybrid with the positive side of all ragnarok moments, this, which was even one of the proposals in the RE: Start

What OP builds exactly?  Most people just run a biochem n spam 100k+ bombs on bosses n spam tokens to trivialize any sort of difficulty as it is.  I don't think giving other classes a way to do similar and not forcing everyone on biochems to get the same result is such a bad thing.  I personally play a bunch of classes and i don't see a downside to having more options.

[Litao]

Having options is great, just like if there was a middle ground server that uses renewal mechanics without being renewal.

Just pointing out that the long term plan of restart server doesnt make sense. Its just another renewal.

Yeah it would be nice to see 3rd jobs and none of the nonsense that came with them.  People always pin the problems on 3rd job which i found to be stupid.  When i played renewal it was awesome having another evolution to my character and getting all new skills which generally filled parts that were originally missing from the classes.  Example of this is i main a champ, it has 0 AOE abilities and lvling them is quite awful since their only reasonable killing power is in gfist.  As a sura, they all of a sudden have actual AOE spells that allow them to lvl and be more than a one trick pony.

 

What wasn't remotely good about renewal is gear requiring +12 or higher upgrades to be useful, all the extra nonsense for upgrading.  The exp penalty forcing you into crappy maps instead of allowing you to AOE farm what's reasonable to kill.  Gramps being the only real way to lvl for many many levels.

[Litao]

Hmm, i think people that are playing restart likes the idea that its not classic and is enjoying the current middle ground. Or else theyd be playing renewal for all the updates and 3rd classes.

I understand your point and I agree with it, make the restart just one more renewal like everyone else is also far from ideal, at the same time, leave it as it is now ... well, I do not even need to comment.

Well ofc add new updates to the highest available content befire renewal over time would be nice, but im starting to think that the real appeal of restart seems to be that, a new beginning, but based on what everyone is saying, perhaps that can be had with a new renewal server

[Litao]

They could also make updates unique this middle ground server, giving classes the skills they need to succeed such as a aoe skill for sura or whatever have you.

This should bring new life to the game other than just pushing for 3rd class

Edit: Champion

Edited by Litao, 23 January 2019 - 04:21 PM.

[kuryeh]

restart was supposed to be progressive, but what's the point of being a progressive server for 100 ~ 200 players?

Edit: Champion

 

we can have the features of the live server (dungeons, skills, classes, equips ..), with buffed mvps (with low vit ratios),with new mechanics, certain banned cards, different exp table, changing areas (as Wynd presented).

there is a lot that could be done to make this server "not just another renewal", but I do not think even the company cares about this server anymore

I guess lets face it, this is a dying game and the real question that most people would ask is how do we revive the game to become at least a little more popular than it is now and bring some players that have gone to private servers or etc back.

 

The short answer is you don't.  You don't waste any money or effort doing that, that is a waste of time.  It makes more sense to make a new game.RO2, but an actual successor, not a WoW clone wannabe fail.

 

However, if there was something we could do to revive the game, maybe:

 

1.Continue with updates that bring new features classes/new skills for current classes, quests that give players a reason to do them other than just being a dungeon unlocker.

 

2. Reduce p2w to a minimum or just implement subscription and remove all p2w ( probably a very bad idea since the population that plays this game is too small and that would reduce it further by limiting players who cannot or will not spend real money ).

 

3.Create new unique servers, a sort of twist such as what i suggested with a middle ground server with updates and features / skills.

 

Im sure there are many other ideas that are not mentioned here.

 

I dunno, but all this is just what im thinking because straight up restart makes no sense.  its like watching a movie over again after you've already seen it many times but lets just go ahead and play it again.

 

 

[de1ls0n]

can coming soon costume: googles (+30% exp when kill any monster) ?

Nevermind, let's just play ragnarok mobile.

Fixing an issue with the event headgear that caused characters to walk in bullet time. Unfortunately the rest of the game world used normal time.

Move woe to a more suitable times for the current player timezones who are still playing. In WoE there is like 40~ ppl playing, yet, they decide everyone has to play either at 3am-7am (asia / australia) - or (10am-2pm) which is working time / too early / breakfast / lunch / family time for most of the people in USA/LATAM.
