Would you guys please stop revamping bounty boards until you can come up with a plan to implement them logically. You are putting the 100-120 board in Verus, an area you do a quest to get into at 140+.

Updates

• Rune Knight/Mado Gear Revitalization update arrives
  • Here is whats going on with the update. Currently there is a configuration file that is causing really annoying error messages during testing. The studio sent a fix on monday but that didn't work. Were supposed to receive another fix tonight. If it comes in by tomorrow morning and resolves the errors we will push this update forward tomorrow. If not it may need to be delayed by a week. We want this update to go in cleanly without known errors.

 

 

OHHH NO!!

Question for the maintenance:

Should we receive a daily login reward system what do you think the end of month big prizes should be?

For the daily login prize is a big yes, and the big prize can be a number of VIP days or an OCP item that changes every month.

And about the mado/rune patch I really hope the patch comes in time, waiting another week will be hard.

and verus BBs should go up to lvl 175 and not just up to 170

[Campitor]

Fixed an issue where Bounty Boards were not always awarding EMBs after every 4th turn in.

[Kuurus]

While I know it gets kinda slow at higher levels why is the Juno Bounty Board on harpy only going to level 90 for? I believe the harpy bounty bard is still viable to at least 99

I like it a lot that you're asking a question on the patch notes, Camp. It engages more players to participate in the discussion, I think it's healthy. You should do this more often, even with some silly questions ´ v`

 

But about that daily login reward, I think it's pretty neat. I think buff scrolls like agi/bless/aspersio would work out really nice for daily/weekly prizes. As for a monthly big prize, an exclusive costume would be super neat! It's not something game-changing, but c'mon, everyone loves costumes.

[yamasakai90]

Mainly consummables buff scrolls, battle manuals, gums, embs?

 

For the grand prize I do agree with costumes. 

 

PS: For daily login, is it just login or like 1-2 hour plays before the daily login is done. 

 

I believe this is to encourage more people to login and play and not just login X amount of characters just to get the count and then log off.

It would be whatever system kRO is currently using. I believe it is account based, everything would be account bound due to that concern.

Hi Campitor

Quick feedback!

1. Juno Boards, at least allow them to be up to level 100, it is a very decent leveling spot for new players as well.

 

2. Make Juno Boards be located in their current spot and keep Verus Boards at the City of Verus. That makes more sense than having them both in a place inaccessible to the lower level classes that cannot access Verus because the pre-requisite is level 140 to start the access quest to Verus.

 

3. Make the Verus City Bounty Boards go up to level 175, I have seen many players say it is a viable leveling spot to 175. This will allow a slight diversification of the leveling areas for different players. NCT/Verus/Bio4 being great locations to level up a character from 140 or 150 all the way to 175 deserve their Bounty Boards going to 175. It fits the leveling scheme and sequence. Bounty Boards are praised highly by individuals outside of iRO, Please consider this. 

 

 

[coolvampire]

Board Level Range: 150 - 170 

 

now this is great! 

i have been leveling on NCT forever, i hope this new addition is as good as NCT's reward tho

[MythicalFox]

By the way, about the Verus BB for lvl 100-120, I think it's kinda unreasonable to have that BB in Verus, since the Access Quest is only accessible at lvl 140+ (or unless you have an acolyte class in another account that can warp you there). I say this BB should stay at Juno.

[Campitor]

The issue with the Madogear/Rune Knight update is resolved. We will be moving forward with the update tomorrow.

Thanks for adding Blood in Skull in the exchange, Bulk OPB exchange, and Bounty EMB fix.
 
As for the new and updated bounties, I agree to most of the replies here that the the Bounty level ranged should be 70-95/100 for Harpy's board instead. Also, I think the Juperos monsters should stay in Juno but with higher level range (either 105-125, 110-130, or 100-130). Also if possible, can the non-Turbo versions of the "Turbo" mobs be included in the TI and also make it to have until 175 (150-175)? So that there can be any other alternatives for maxing a character aside from Bio 4 and NCT. Only until 170 is a little bit depressing to look at, specially when there are only 5 levels away to max level. 
 
As for the maintenance question, I agree to have login rewards system to have like buff items, EMBs, manuals, gums, and similar items as daily rewards. As for the Grand Prize for the end of the month, here are my suggestions:

• Like everyone suggested, Costumes or even Costume Box
• Bulk Ore Boxes (Enriched, HD, BSB) (I prefer this one)
• A single OCP Box or Yggdrasil Ticket (not recommended lol )

Edited, wrong quote.

[Boyeteers]

I hope login rewards need to have ppls login for at least 1-2 hours. Good end of the month reward would be like 5-10 account bound ticket to gain access to instance with mvps or some missing update enchant stones kro have like random enchant stone box that has fct stones garment/dd stone garment etc.

Edited by Boyeteers, 25 September 2019 - 07:45 PM.

[MrNaise]

Buff consumables or Stones like Coags/CF for daily reward and as for the big prize costumes or refine stones would be a good end of a month reward. Also for the rewards system not to be abuse can you make it only available to players who have at least one 175 char or only a max char can claim the reward from the npc since many players have lots of alt accounts.
