do not want. so they gave the shoulder pads fish fins. also they highlighted the lumps with mustard yellow color. and then they tore up the hem of the cape and made it shorter. but other then that, in what ways is this any different from the lord knight? am i the only person in the world who doesn't like the sprite changes to the rune knight itself?

do we have to adopt the new rune knight sprites, or can we keep the old one? because while the new dragon mount looks waaaay, waaaaaay better, i would think that something like this:



^do not like this red color, but yeah.

is way cooler then just reimplementing the lord knight sprite with a few fish fins here and there to change the look. at least with the current rune knight, it looks like something fresh and new and cool. what are your thoughts on the sprite change?

I miss the green.

From what I understand, you'll be able to choose if you want to change to the new sprite or keep the old one.

I've heard the new sprite will be a cash shop item, similar to the secondary dyes. But others have said they'll be implemented in game somehow and not via cash shop. In my opinion, cash shop seems a lot more likely.

For the record, I think the current sprite is ugly as hell. The new one is gorgeous.

Fire Emblem much?

[Pravin]

The earlier sprites looked like pornstars according to a lot of people. The new ones are better I think, although not perfect.

[Sera]

I approve of the new sprite.

[morphine]

It took me a while to see "fish fins" XD. I think alternate third sprites would be a good choice for a cash item when so many third classes are ugly as sin. I just wish they'd have similar new sprites for all classes. I'd love to look more like an upgraded sinx... or for that matter, a maestro to look more like a cute bard again.

[dragoonlordz]

I prefer the new sprite but thats just personal preference. I do however agree with Kitten that it would certainly be a better implementation via cash shop if so desire to change. Mainly for the fact it is always better to have freedom of choice in games especially ones that lack customisation such as iRO (with exception of headgears and a choice of two colour schemes can use on your characters). Has anyone noticed however that the loose bit of cloth has got smaller on the front, one ponders to what else has shrunk in order to not need so much coverage.

Dude, you read my mind!
I've always wanted a Nidhoggur mount!
I mean THAT IS A REAL DRAGON, and to see it in sprite OMG it looks so bad ass!!!
I want one!
Make this the new RK sprite.
And yeah I think the new RK sprite looks like a LK remake :/

I think the Rk sprite we have now with that Nidhoggur mount would look AWESOME!
Heck I'd pay to have that mount, and I bet many others would too.

nidhoggr dragon's wings would take up far too much space though. The ferus is at least kind of compact.

[Rutana]

Based on the Fauna of RO, the current dragon (Ferus) is much more possible than the Nidhogger version. I mean... Nidhogger is something like the queen of all dragons. One of a kind.... or at least it should be...
While Deleters, Petits, Ferus and Acidus are the common dragon that are common enough for Rune Knights to catch one and tame it...

To the old/new versions...
I kinda like the actual versions. So I would appreciate a cash shop item to change the sprite !

[ItsMoonie]

Wow if RK's get that dragon I'm so making an RK

[dragoonlordz]

Unfortuantly it won't happen like the one showed if one simular is implemented due to the size and amount of cells it would take up. Imagine half a dozen RK's in Pront sitting near each other.. Everything else would be hidden.
If it did get implemented such a design the wings would be folded in much like the RG gryphon and shortened when outstretched quite a bit but the design/concept itself I too really like the idea of.

[HRdevil]

I want that sexy dragon, better than a walking lizard.

[iiNote]

Well RG's Gryphon takes ALOT of space.. Why can't we have a Nidhoggur!!
It's no excuse...
and Gryphon used to be a pretty rare creature, and one of a kind... So we totally deserve a Nidhoggur mount ¬¬.

[TheBestPlayer]

Keep the personal insults and trolling off the forums.

Uhh.. Yes sir.

[Akin]

Am i the only person in the world who doesn't like the sprite changes to the rune knight itself?

I don't like the new one either, it's just a very lazy remake of the LK sprite.

As for the mount, in addition to giving us different colored dragons, they should let us choose between the green ferus, red ferus, blus acidus, and gold acidus designs. That would be something like 20+ different mounts to choose from.

[Tigra]

I like the new sprite... But I don't like most the 3rd job sprites in general because they're so over-done.

[Castella]

Personally I'd much rather look like a remake of a trans sprite than the ugly sprites we have now.

(I'm a genetic. I wish I could go back to the biochemist sprite. It's so much cuter)

[Haldor]

I like the new sprite better for sure. But what I really think needs changed is the dragon sprite, looks dumb. As of now I want my peco peco back. Peco breath!

[AtlasThunderbeef]

Those lumps are awesome spikes. How can you make out that they look like fish skins?

They are awesome. Looks really majestic in a way.



They will most probably be implemented as a cash item, so you pay to get it. I only hope you have to do a small quest to get it so you don't only buy it and it has no connection ingame.

[Kitten]

There's a blog that tracks kRO development stuff, not Doddler's but another, that was saying there are plans to make completely new alt sprites for all classes eventually. I can't remember the site name off the top of my head but it seemed legit. Just tracking and translating kRO statements for the most part.

I lost the bookmark when I was cleaning up my favorites.
