I firmly believe that the problem that has dragged on ragnarok has always been the same mechanics and content available in the old times, so I understand that rebalancing the characters skills and making them more useful can make the game have a greater diversity of constructions. One example is the wise and wise gameplay of wizards that usually does not vary much, and it is always worth remembering that there are many skills that usually for low damage are never interesting, an example was to make a wizard specialized in killing undead, but the skills focused on that they are ridiculously weak, I firmly believe that in the old times always needed to have increased damage from the classes, the wise needed an improvement in arcane desire, the archer an improvement in hawk and traps to make them more useful than simply using one and redo the cards and equipment, I believe putting a few bonus attributes on weapons won't help much, and it's always good to have a race damage and etc... I found the proposal that I played on a private server with Zero mechanic implemented there super cool.

 

I am very happy that the team is striving and bringing the best possible to bring a new experience with the game.

Skill balancing is the game changer of RO. I hope the staff start to work on it in early stages of the server. Or at least make a TODO list of changes and schedule each one.

I believe a redone old team can be a lot of fun and balanced to play, if people can balance skills and make them playable there can be many different types of buildings, a battle sage for example could have a skill leveling improvement that They are executed during attacks, it has always been quite low and so has never been so viable, most people did it for fun, the soul strike skill is not as valuable as many other wizard skills (sightrasher, water ball which is only used on special ground...) . Alchemist also needed a much better skill calculation to make the game play more fun and not just cart revolution, auto attack and humunculus.

hows the BB skill? has need a gutter lines or fix aoe ? im still level 41/38 kinda hard level grinding to job level 50

[xSwain]

Yeah, but they're still a small development team, skill balance is not so easy as it looks like. If you change some skill, some builds can become obsolete or overpower, and since this isn't a MOBA where you can start over and over again, people would rage if their build become obsolete.

 

I like the idea of focus in contexts, not in some skill. It's like : "Gutter lines makes bowling bash useless, so how can we make Knight's AoE skills viable ?" and "Hunters can't use shields for most of his skills and has less damage that someone that can use race reduction cards, how can we improve it ?"

Hunters do less dmg then others? What did you do make an agi hunter and not a trap one?

Server is open.

You guys talk like WP can make some change in the game without first asking permission for gravity.

Remember WP is a distributor, Camptor has already said that he has to ask for content to gravity and is not always serviced positively.

Still not fixed. You have to find the proper cells to make the most out of it like always...

[senpa1]

I don't trust warpportal for 1 second to make custom skill balance changes. I don't think anyone at warpportal even plays the game lol.

homunculus cant be put on agressive mode, this is normal?

[ShoLin]

the AI is dead

[orokamono]

Maybe because of this? https://forums.warpp...ect-homunculus/

It's still just as buggy as it's always been. Once we get the skill balances for Swordsmen though, it'll become a normal AoE skill and the gutterlines will finally be history.

 

Wait and Hope etc.

[AaronP2W]

Currently Asura has a 10 second cooldown, like it did on Restart. Please remove this so pre-trans woe is playable. Thank you.

[ImATomato]

What is the Novice option for on the Job Change NPC? It doesn't seem to do anything.

[rockmanpiya]

MVP cards for testing please

[TwilightsCall]

Crimson weapons are definitely still dropping but, uhh....they look a little different now...

 

 

 

Can't say I don't like it.

 

[VModCinnamon]

They will be removed.

[Boyeteers]

crimson weapons with 1 random stats interesting

the AI is dead

EAC don't let azzy/drizyAI run soo your homunculo will not have a custom AI, you can try configurate it manualy but i wish you luck with that.
