Greetings! We are looking feedback on the summer sports festa that is currently active on the Renewal servers

Did you like the event?
Are the rewards good enough?
Which mini games did you like?
Which mini games did you not like?
Would you like to see more events like this in the future?

[Joshiji]

The event is good and mini games creative. The only problem I have is with the upgrading system. I've used 5 wreath's and my wreath is still +1! At this rate I may not be able to get the Promethean crown. Could something be done about this? Like make the wreaths upgradable to +4 safely, allow them to be upgraded normally, or increase the chance of success?

[wasabee]

make the upgrading system just like dragon helm event

[kasshin]

Overall the event was quite good and I don't remember any large bugs or anything. But as mentioned, failure from 1 to 4 just didn't make much sense. Some exp bonuses might have been nice too on the repeatable quests. I actually kind of liked the fact they can't be upgraded with elus since I got my costume way before some friends who would probably has bought ores to upgrade with. Pay to play wins for once! Also it's good encouragement for making alts on the same account.

I liked how you considered the STR stat was involved in the punching machine. The running course was very confusing...and without a team, was almost impossible to pass some MVPs, especially when you not on your main characters. The rewards were pretty good, as exp is always wanted ^^ Also more fair than an OP equip or something.

I still cannot figure out how the first Fencing thing works even after reading guides and stuff, and I'm normally good with puzzles. D:

The strength test was pretty easy, of course... Lots of enter enter enter, this could have been improved by making random choices along the way ("Keep Punching", "Stop" that alternate position occasionally).

The obstacle course was bugged for me. I DCed on the first leg, and when I came back it warped me straight to the end of it. @@

Did you like the event?
I liked the last part it encouraged grouping up providing a nice challenge but not so much of a challenge that its impossible solo if your geared for it
and the fact that it didn't matter if you tagged the MVP allowing anyone to talk to the doppleganger allows people to help even if they're not part of a group and still get credit

Are the rewards good enough?
slightly disappointed with the reward. With the experience increase effects only being 10% its a shame the effect is not permanent

Which mini games did you like?
i liked the fencing one
it required thinking actually remembering which response goes with which attack


Which mini games did you not like?
the strength one was a bit tedius.. in all honesty they should have brought in the SUDRI NPC from the Mjolnir Seal Questline but have him start at 100HP instead of his usual insane 200HP

Would you like to see more events like this in the future?
absolutely its the reason people had such hopes for the Comodo Casino
in game mini games are a great distraction and passtime while waiting for a TI group or before or after WOE or between MVP kills

i think i can explain it

each Attack has a very specific Deffense
the NPC knows all the Attacks , and All the Deffenses

You can only use Attacks Defenses that the NPC has used against You
so at the very beginning you only know 1: the one he uses in the example [smelled / whiff]
you cannot use a Attack or Defense that the NPC has not displayed or you lose the round

example:
[potion / nose] is one of the Attack / Defense combinations
you cannot use either until you see the NPC use it

Round 1
NPC= Attack : potion
Player= Defense: nose
Response= defense fails because you have never seen the NPC use the defense [nose]
Arsenal= [smelled/whiff] [potion/ ? ]

Round 2
Player= Attack : potion
NPC= Defense: nose
response= the deffense: [nose] has been added to you arsenal
Arsenal= [smelled/whiff] [potion/nose]

Round 1
NPC= Attack : sharp
Player= Defense: I DONT KNOW OK!!!!!
Response= any defense fails because you have not seen the defense for sharp used yet
Arsenal= [smelled/whiff] [potion/nose] [sharp/ ? ]

Round 2
Player= Attack : sharp
NPC= Defense: tip
Response= you trick the NPC into teaching you the Defense for sharp and it is added to your arsenal
Arsenal= [smelled/whiff] [potion/nose] [sharp/tip]

you have to trick the NPC to teach you new attacks and defenses by repeating the new attacks he uses against you to discover their defense, and to increase your arsenal. Once you've tricked the NPC into showing each attack and defense you can use any attack when its your turn. in turn you can always successfully defend against any attack he throws at you.

Alright, I got it now... Just beat it. Thanks.

For the Obstacle Course, higher HP loss from activating traps. I ran through on my RG and hit every trap with no problem... The goal is to avoid them, after all!

I like the ones that set you back, actually. Rather than HP loss, these could have been used the whole way through, except they might turn you back quite a ways rather than just a few cells.

Really wanted to do a Poring Soccer/Futbol/curling but maybe for a future event...

Poring baseball would be cool.

[Helios0]

yeah for the obstical course soo many fun status effects could have been used..
suggestion1: give their activating area an area of like 7x7 or 9x9
suggestion2: give them a patrol to move between 2 points on the map, a moving target to avoid
suggestion3: instead of flat HP loss
-%hp loss
-status effects like: Freeze, Chaos, Sleep, Curse, Orcish, Deviling/Poring/Golem(like the scrolls) critical wound, stone curse

maybe different poring bombs randomly appearing that can be used against the mobs nearby in a 9x9 radius give them 5hp plant 1dmg max
poring-aoe pulse strike
drops-aoe Sightthrasher
poporing-aoe venom splasher
marin-aoe frost driver
stapo-aoe earth drive
metaling-aoe gravitational field
magmaring-aoe Crimson Rock
jejeling-aoe Earth Strain

I don't believe people tried a obstacle race game without looking at Turbo Track.

http://irowiki.org/c...ran_Turbo_Track

[Facekiller]

all in all a pretty good event... after the timer got fixed that is.... the mini games were staggered in a way that there was games you could solo or games like the obstacle course were more of a challenge... maybe adding one other higher level event... the rewards were not terrible... the small amount of effort required was equal to the reward id say. too bad the champions wreath didnt just ad +2 str or something tho... nothing OP but something that will be useful later... final costume gear looks decent... wasnt super difficult to get... all in all its a success..

[Shadiah]

While I enjoyed the event (simple, easy to get items) I am a bit disappointed with the crown upgrading system. I burned about 14k medals and my crown is still +7 and yet some guildies got it to +8 with fails. I am sad face over this but that's just luck.

However my first few attempts at the obstacle course I was unprepared for an orc hero thunderstorm that would 1 shot me or an Osiris meteor strike that would also 1 shot my lower vit chars. Yeah I just skipped this quest because it's not worth losing so much exp over 1/3 of a crown that will probably fail.

[Helios0]

it would be nice if it could have been more like the Dragon helms where you could use the dragon upgrade NPC by itself, or elunium or even certs to upgrade the helm to +8
that way you consume some in game resources for those who can afford to

[kasshin]

Does dying at the instance actually make you lose exp? I tried looking for the usual -123000 exp message but didn't see one. I don't remember my exp percentages so I'm not sure if I just lost exp and it didn't tell me.

[michaeleeli]

yes u lose exp in it =x

[carbonrow]

used 9 wreaths to make a +8 with 1 extra ^^ WIN

[LangyLang]

Where do I turn in the +8 Wreath for the crown?

[Smolderbil]

^The same guy who upgrades the wreaths, Frank.

[Triki]

its a nice event, reward wise it would be nice to see the remaining stat food materials added (ice crystal, blood of wolf, etc) as well as increasing them a little maybe?, also when does this event run till (i hope it doesnt stop tomorrow)

edit,
if it does leave tomorrow will we will be able to redeem our medals?

[saviourimpulse]

The upgrading system... why does EVEN THIS have to be based on luck!? So even if one does participate in the event, one might not get the reward one probably deserves? This, for unlucky people like me, sends a message for future RO events that basically says "It's probably not worth the time."
To continuously fail at +1, +2, +3 is just ridiculous, major waste of time and medals. To top it off that 1hour timer bug is still haunting the server, so unless a 4 hour cooldown was the intention, it probably should be reduced to 2 hours (+1 hour from the bug).
Also EXP loss in the maze minigame is unexpected and annoying.

Other than the stuff pointed out in the rant above, the event itself was quite fun, especially enjoyed the fencing game.

[crustman]

i think the upgrading system is depend on ur char luck >.>
one account has 2 pom wreath
and the other accounts has only have 1 pom wreath

[PearI]

I wish the exp bonus on the crown will stay considering how time consuming and annoying it was to make it.
