Facebook 10k Likes Event

• As we get closer to reaching 10k likes on Facebook, we have a few events that will be going on.

• 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

Item Mall Update

• 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.

Game Arena

• 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.

Bug Fixes

• 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.

That one sentence is the best thing I have ever read about future things so far. About time there's a bigger team, this will surely improve the speed of development.
Really interested in the new project you'll be working on, and the game arena getting more games is very good too.



Also, good job on the ballroom event adjustments, and bug fixes are always welcome!

Nice update, great to hear that the new things will be coming soon, 3rd class? 220 gears? 5th planet? Open up level to 250?

So.. Basically---You're encouraging me to form the op groups I've been avoiding doing because I thought it would be really unfair--Because there are some times I'll try to jump teams to play with a friend..not necessarily because I think the group sucks..and you're forcing me to play with people I may not want to play with--I see how this really enhances our game play.


A few of the bug fixes were good, so good job on that one.. It will be good to log back in when I'm trosed to the same team and not the opposite side---Will it still reset our points? It seems like it does that.


Also..is there any ETA on when you might deal with the whole spawn camping thing--Or are you going to totally pin this on players and ignore the fact that it is a problem.

That's for them to know, and us to find out when they come with this so called 'new project' in late june!

[CoolCat420]

Not a bad patch. Iäm glad to see the Ballroom event extended. I am looking forward to seeing how the new hired people help make ROSE a better game.

• New Project

I am 100% looking forward to seeing how this goes. If this means New Planet, New Lvl cap, then I am a little excited

[Rooster]

So Cave of Ulverick and Oblivion Raid Rooms are goint to be the maps for the Dungeon (PvM) part of the Game Arena?

[Howie]

[*]I will try and get some sneak peaks out during the month if I can get my hands on them.

Get your hands on them! All up on them!

[jerremy]

I remember a post of genesis acknowledging it is partly a development problem, so i guess they won't leave it totally on the side and pin it on the players.

Found it

The spawn killing issue is not just a deficiency with the design of the map, it's also a mentality that you (the players) have created and become used to participating in when you decide to leave the vicinity of the crystal you are supposed to be defending specifically to prevent the attackers from being able to move from their respawn area. The other aspect of that mentality is when the players who are being spawn camped don't even attempt (some do, the majority don't) to run or move out of the way of the players who are attacking the general vicinity, even when the respawn area has no bottlenecks to prevent them from running away.

We can try to alleviate some of the issues which contribute to spawn killing, but you as a community must get into the right mindset and define what is acceptable or unacceptable behavior - we as a development team can never fix that aspect.

It means those two will be part of the things to be done in the Dungeon part, but there's likely more of them to come.

Remember the plan.

Also not documented in today's patch notes are the Game Arena's queue status updates which are displayed in the GA status icon located on the minimap while queued for games.

Queued for a game:

I hope this shirt looks neat and somewhat meaty (like the soccer uniforms).

Actually, right now the amount of rounds starting is low like always, BUT I have noticed an incredible amount of new players running around, so maybe it'll start more often in the future!
Wouldn't mind a server merge though, it doesn't really matter to me if it happens or not.
