Tiki Tuesday Question Lounge for 2/18

We won't be in the office to film a Monday This Week in Ragnarok, so we'll be filming that on Tuesday instead. We'll still be doing our weekly livestream this Tuesday. 

If you guys have any affection for 1950s tropical ephemera, I highly recommend this blue ray/DVD

It's sort of a precursor to IMAX, a documentary about the South Seas narrated by Orson Welles!

Some relaxing lounge tunes by Neo-Exotica band The Tikiyaki Orchestra

Man, I'd love to do slickly edited cocktail videos like this one: 

The Test Pilot

I know, some of the ingredients are a little more tricky to obtain, but I guarantee that if you buy one bottle of Pernod liquoriche liqueur that's the only one you'll ever need to buy. 

One of the reasons why tiki drinks went out of favor is because they were more difficult to mix up than just pointing a rum+coke button on a robot bar hose, so it's fun to go and have to do a little scavenger hunt to get the ingredients together. There are quite a few drinks that share these rarer ingredients so it's well worth it for the aspiring home bar baron. 

1. Will we have spotlight on higher tier map such as Scaraba, or Bifrost?

2. How is Mild Wind proc rate thing going on with Zodiac Diadem/Crowns?

3. Is there any progression report. or some sort of information for users to chew on about Glast Heim Instance?

4. Are there any plan on bringing in original option for Vagabond Wolf Hat from its mother server instead of costume?

Can we have Bloody Branches summon Bio 3 MvPs?

is it possible to stop Dead Branched monsters from using teleport? sometimes when a player is using Dead Branches responsibly the monsters will teleport away and start killing unsuspecting players before the player is able to track it down and kill it...

Are we going to have Fire Sales again? It seems that it has been long since the last one...I'm also asking this because the game just had a large influx of new players and a lot of items haven't been re-released from a long while and are really hard to obtain in the market, yet are still recommended for certain builds.

Or is it that I've just been unlucky and missing Fire Sales since September-October? 

Any new stuff for the Kafra Shop? The Rideword Hats and Immune Shields were a cool addition and also they are very useful.  Some players have requested Vanargand Helms in Boxes/Packs while others have said that this item hasn't been available in a Box, ever , but has been sold directly at the Item Mall...so can we have it in the Kafra Shop again, even if it is for a little while?

Also...can you move the Water Manager from the Valentine's quest out of the dead zone in Morroc?

Can the random corner teleportation be disabled when Nidhoggur is killed? =( Would that be possible?

Any news on the exp/intimacy manual boost from kRO ? ( I think I read that you guys requested it) Hopefully they would be in Kafra Shop in the future.

Can we also have some garment costumes like Archangel Wing? or dye FAW to white? (I really want a white one but Archangel effects are not as good as FAW)

Thanks in advance Oda. Hope you'll answer my questions to you.

kRO have two of those costume garments. One is wanderer's something. and the other one is Golden Angel Wing. You might want to ask for these two so that they could ask kRO specifically for these set.

^ This Oda, are we getting these in the future or anytime soon?

I posted last week on hocus pocus. Sadly i couldn't finish my scholar this week to test since job levels take forever, but its looking good for next week. I posted last tuesday on how power cord does not remove the gem consumption for hocus pocus, Can it be fixed this week? I just tested and it still consumes 1 gem per cast and I really don't want to spend mountains of zeny on gems...

This is regarding to Eden;

To be clear, this is different from the chat-room issue, which has been handled well with the new Shift + F11 function, well done!

I am sure if we were to take a survey, 99% of the people would vote for Eden to be cleared of chat rooms. This is to turn Eden back to a socializing area, which will benefit the game a lot as players will know each other more, get more deeply rooted into the community, stay longer etc.  In fact, this has been long supported by players ever since merge (I haven't seen a single person on the other side of the argument yet; I could pull up multiple old threads to show this). 

What has prevented the team from doing so? Is it the difficulty of implementing a spare area for chat room trading/ turn in recruiting? Or has the team misinterpreted that the only problem was the chat rooms were blocking mobility so they only focused on that?

Although this isn't exactly a "problem" that needs to be fixed, it's a huuuuge boost that the game should need, where the process should be fast and absolutely no one sees the cons of it.

I wouldn't say 99%. You'd still need a solution for a good effective way to sell things over 99M in a location people would actually pass by. Then you'd also need a place for people to recruit for high TI. There are definitely cons to disabling chats altogether.

I'm just basing it on the fact that all of the people who put their input in had a neutral/agree statement, according to the multiple threads created throughout the past year; (I'm actually trying to find them to post here but the search function is really boogy =()

The generally agreed solution to that is to simply create a warp to a new area, designated for those trade chat-rooms and turn ins. Another way would be doubling the size of 1st floor, and cutting the line in the middle, having chat-rooms enabled on one side and none on the other. Moving a trade post isn't hard as sellers will always find a way to sell their things; the purpose of this is to turn Eden into a socializing sanctuary where it would make the game just that much more fun. 

Classic : Can we have ice dungeon turn in for the rest of the spotlight? 

Well more like "Will you please add" rather than Can We.

Will Classic also get a Boxter visit this week ?

Please read my question with the same degree of enthusiasm as the emoticon gives it.

Can we have old payon as a pvp map on Classic? Everything else is too big and izlude is still bugged for some users. Thanks!

Do you know I've missed the exp event due to gear being trapped on a dead account?

many years ago the woe:se guardians on Chaos were nerfed to about 30% of their atk, will we ever see this change on classic?

Edited by Xellie, 18 February 2014 - 02:43 PM.

Could we get some kind of information as to how to begin the v-day quests on Classic? The "Anxious Man" does not exist.

Unfortunately due to the scripting not working on Classic we were not able to add the kRO Valentines day quest to classic.

Edited by Oda, 21 February 2014 - 01:47 PM.

can we get a Geffen+geffenia+orcs spotlight soon? its great for levels up to like 120

Oh yeah I wonder if you're aware that some ninja skill animations on classic are still wrong.

Could you turn the VIP West Orc Village into something a little more viable? Short of getting OAB's, it's unusable to actually level there, so many archers.

Don't forget missies!
 

So.. All these questions are not going to be answered for this week? I'm just wondering.

They were answered in the livestream: http://www.twitch.tv...tal/b/504522857

Don't know when Oda will post the answers here.

Oh.. Didn;t know.. Thank you.

@Oda: Thanks!  I appreciate it.
