Community IRO Improvement Central List

 With such a negative predisposition toward change you should probably go back to the Glast Heim update and then hide under a rock.

I only like the official changes not chinese pirate server changes if you dont like my opinion then dont ask me again.

yeah and also add aura mazda and angra to the kafra shop too !

The way Mother Gravity of the Great South Korean Nation intended RO to be played, all other attempts at RO are dangerously custom and are outright forgeries of the authentic Ragnarok Online experience.

Yes thanks for confirm that 

if by saying an authentic experience means we do what kRO does, i would expect our server to be up to date with them as well =P

also that's to assume kRO has got it perfect xD

Three things immediately come to mind:

* Rework, nerf, or disable in certain areas Arrow Shower and Arrow Storm. The sheer level of KSing and bad mannerism these skills enable does not make their practicality and usefulness worth it. Seriously. In particular, give Arrow Shower a cast time so that I have a chance to kill my mob before it's instantly stolen from halfway across the screen.

* Disable Fly Wings, Giant Fly Wings, and Teleport in certain areas such as TIs. They serve no practical purpose in those areas and enable KSing and bad mannerism, especially coupled with Arrow Shower/Storm above.

* Rework Gank. Like from the bottom up, from the drawing board, into something that retains similar usefulness but does not encourage its use in botting. The vast majority of bots are rogues or rogue-classes and it gives rogues as a class a terrible image.

• Quest overhaul. Update the old quests to make use of the recently expanded quest system UI, with regards to the clickable navi entries, npc sprites and minimap markers, and reevaluate the EXP reward for completed quests in contrast to the newly expanded cap. Quests are only worthwhile at extremely low levels, at times being lower than the practical requirement for completion. Possibility of quests providing percentages of a character's current level up to a cap? Limits and cooldowns based on account ID rather than quests tied to individual characters? There are also a small number of quests on Renewal that are bricked and unable to be completed due to bad quest variables and broken NPCs, such as Nid Dungeon and the New World access quest.

Limiting quest and their cooldowns based on the account IDs instead of characters would make having hundreds of accounts with only one character even more rewarding than just sticking with one account and 9 characters. I can't see at all why people with multiple accounts should have advantages over people using only one.

I agree with number 1. Just nerfing is fine, or more active monitoring in these areas. Reports do nothing, but I don't want to make rangers completely irrelevant. Do the same thing to RKs' dragon breathe.

No to number 2. TIs can get so mobby in no time flat, sometimes you need to bail. This would hurt soloers more than abusive parties.

3... How? I don't think Gank is the problem. We need more proactive GMs hunting bots. This airstrike thread is a good start, but it comes extremely late after Janeway. You'd think they go after low hanging fruit first such as spores or payon cave, then work their way up to player reports. There aren't just rogue bots these days, though there are heaps.

Auto sell in Classic? Im tired of getting dcc and losing vending time...

unless you have someone parked in payon caves or spores 24/7, the maps are not going to be clear 100% of the time. it's way too easy to get bots up and running on the low level maps (it's low hanging fruit, but it has an instant respawn). hitting the 3rd class bots on the other hand puts them out of commission for quite some time, and based on some user postings, it's been happening.

It's still important to sweep through the low-level maps every so often, if only to stem the flow of fresh bots and make their owners work harder. And obviously the money-making maps should be hit randomly multiple times a day, so botters can't just go "Oh, it's 6 o'clock, time to stop botting for an hour while the GMs do their sweeps."

Make VIP buffs permanent throughout the VIP duration without having to go to the buffer NPC in Eden.

NO!

There are a lot of time when I have to left the party spot to TI or buy gems or when I join to an ongoing party. I had to teleport to get to the party spot (or close to it), you can't expect an AB to go through all those mobs without dying. And Snap... We all hate it when we got Snapped.

agreed, but I wouldn't necessarily prioritize over taking out some of these third class offenders (and there are many).

I absolutely agree, but there are 3rd class bots in low level maps too. Specifically ABs and GXs, SCs and RKs

Mechanics still need to have some bugs fixed.

• Party bug with a Mechanic in a Mado Suit unless the Mechanic is at the bottom of the list. Especially with ongoing bio4 parties.
• Cannon Balls are called Arrows when you equip them, which is fine, but can we get the same weight?
• Almr mentioned this. Item to summon Mado Suit. Losing your suit sucks for soloing ET or Old GH.

It's fine that it's not pinned anymore. A good thread can live even without being pinned. If you'd like to give it a helping hand, you can paste a link to it in your signature.

why is this getting unpinned? the topic is relevant ... in the same way we have tiki for suggestions?
