And my last post before 30 minute nap shower and back to office.
Title item: will get a level restriction of 40. The title itself will keep stats you all saw in the window. So consume the title item NOW to avoid the lvl restriction.
The costumes, will remain as is permanently.
In the end we made a mistake in oversight weeks ago, and we are doing all we can now to make it right.
Please give me some time before stringing me up by my toes, we are working with dev team on better alternatives. This seriously is broadsiding us right now so we are having to work quickly to fix it and I can't keep up answers to you and get answers from and to them. I absolutely want this to be a positive update and will do all we can to make it so.
We wanted to provide a unique title to Ragnarok 2 players who joined us for our first month and played a character past level 30.
We understand the community’s concern. The intent was never to mislead you. The title distribution just happened to occur the day before we planned to change the title to what we had planned.
Heimdallr: Upon further investigation I have found some distressing news... We never meant to misrepresent the title nor the costumes. We honestly always intended these changes, and never should the title even been viewable before distribution, when I checked prior it wasn't showing up in the list. We never wanted the stats of the title to be a "bait" for participation, rather it was meant to be a something special for the thousands of players that took up that moderate challenge of getting to 30 in our opening month. So I am eating words, we never did post it, but it was displayed in-game where it shouldn't have been, and those stats showing, I have no idea WHY those stats were ever there, it was never part of our request to development or ever suggested either, infact the current stats were the suggestion given to us rather than our higher proposal.
It was not meant to turn, what a joyous distribution of these titles being, into a community mess because information that wasn't meant to exist yet was shared unwittingly with you. But I do accept responsibility as it is our job to do the final check and make sure you are not unwittingly harmed, and to do right by you.
We will be keeping the stats on the Tux, Wedding dress and recruit outfit for now. And the next set will have the stats more clearly labeled to expire at specific time.
The Title will get upgraded a bit, but cannot be the 30 to all, that would wrap all the gameplay around that title invalidating any other title forever, and be unattainable for future players. I am requesting +12 to all with +16 to Vit for the Founder title.
Still discussing with dev team to continue to improve the situation, this particular set of circumstances, especially the title, caught us flat footed because it was supposed to ever be known what the stats were and certainly shouldn't have displayed huge numbers like that. But it did, and now we are in fix it mode rather than sleep and prepare for a busy patch mode.
It is obvious that we couldn't just leave it like it was, unless we truly just didn't care, which we've put far to much of ourselves in this and spent to much time with the community and games in general to stop caring when we have some sort of option to fight for.
So please give us a little patience, let us try to stave off this change a bit and let us move forward positively.
Ok, so I do have a little bit of new good news.
The Tux, wedding dress and Recruits outfit will permanently have their current stats. We will have to do some backend updates to be sure those items can't be created via the costume fusion system that is coming in with this update so if you have em now, you have one of the best costumes ever.
For the title we are investigating leaving stats as is, but adding a lvl req on it. Complication is normally the lvl req is set by 'how to acquire' not on whether you can equip. If we can't get it set with a level requirement we are going to have to go back to drawing board.
