- As we get closer to reaching 10k likes on Facebook, we have a few events that will be going on.
- Thanks for everyone who shared ROSE with their friends to help us unlock the "Thumbs Up! T-Shirt".
- Players can obtain the T-Shirt by completing an event style quest from [Designer] Lisa in Junon Polis.
- Quest Level Restriction: 100
- No preview of the item will be given, you will have to find out in-game!
- Only one shirt can be obtained per character
- Added Ancient Headdress to the Item Mall 300 Pts
Ballroom Event
- Ballroom Event will continue again this weekend (Friday through Monday)
- Players no longer have to kill the Duke in order to continue with the quest, 5 Lacrima will allow you to obtain the Emblem of the True Hero.
- Players now need to be level 75 or higher to obtain the Felice Party Wear.
- Increased the number of Gate Crashers that spawn, and expanded their spawn range to prevent those nasty AOE spinners.
- Players can now escalate the event by purchasing items, no longer do you have to only exchange Lacrima to escalate, but the purchase of Dance Scrolls or Outfits will also increase the rate for which Duke and the Gate Crashers spawn.
- Felice will now give a holler when the Grand Duke spawns so players will no it's time to end his tyranny. We have also added a fail-safe for her to unlock the ballroom after a set amount of time in case the event "freezes" again.
- Groups are no longer merged together visually until both teams are complete, this will prevent players from jumping out of a group to try and get in the other group if they are not happy with their team makeup.
- Optimized the forming of groups to help balance the 2 groups for a match.
- Increased the threshold for earning points by healing, this will increase the challenge for Clerics to earn points.
- Increased the DEF and MDEF of the Sunset and Dusk Crystals.
- When a match completes the game arena groups were not always disbanding, this has been improved upon.
- Fixed a bug where when a player disconnects their spot on the team was not being held, players should be able to reconnect to the same match/team upon logging back in for most cases.
- Removed some deprecated Union War code from [Akram Minister] Aldaric's dialog and Valor Ticket quests.
- Equipment found in NPC Sell Shops had PvM Bonuses on them, this was removed as there is no intention for NPC Sold Equipment to carry any bonuses.
- Corrected the Disassemble of the following items
- Ice Spirit Backpack
- Curious Backpack
- Insane Shaman Backpack
- Mammy Queen Backpack
*Development Notes*
Here are some of the things being worked on over the next month.
- Friends List
- This sadly has been delayed, we have new staff and training them has slowed us down the last few weeks.
- We have also had to spend some time fixing some issues with the Game Arena that first week which delayed work on the Friends List as well.
- ETA is 15th
- Game Arena
- We are doing some smaller tweaks and updates while working on migrating the Cave of Ulverick over during this month.
- We will also be working to update and migrate the Oblivion Rooms over to the Game Arena as well (ETA isn't set)
- Stat/Skill Balance & Update
- The goal is to be testing the last half of the month and update when its ready.
- New Project
- We have a new project we are working on, something new for ROSE.
- With our hiring complete we are working towards an update Mid-Late June to expand the ROSE story!
- I will try and get some sneak peaks out during the month if I can get my hands on them.
