Ragnarok Developer Q&A Thread - April

Adding more god items is not going to spice up anything. It'll just give the guilds who already make items uncontested more of an advantage.

Like what? Everything is going to be available through caches?

 

I'm talking like, enhanced sleipnir, or a god shield or something. I mean I'm sitting on 10+ sets of god items atm and I actually make mine, so god only knows how many other sets and pieces are out there.... Lets have a new toy to aim for, something exciting and strong... because 14 megs isn't doing it for me. I don't want more megs. I have 7 sleipnir sets sitting pretty for denials... complete hammer sets, complete bris sets, meg sets, what's the point of WoE even? 100+ Asprikas made so we do okolnir for fun (because 18 mins wasn't fast enough) Similar deal with bryns. Server is saturated with all this stuff not only what we have but through inheritance or "inheritance" so we need something new to spice the server up. 

 

edit : this isn't the place for this discussion anyway

 

tldr; GM give us something to do in woe

 

Whoa Whoa Whoa, hold off on the I dont want more megs crap.  I need more items to afk with please and thank you.

 

Though a new god item you can yell at me for not signing out does sound exciting .

 

 

I really just think that reducing the number of castles, adding more items into GSBs even (seeds etc.) for us smaller player base folk should be looked at to increase the overall QoL and excitement factor.  As it stands the only thing that makes woe fun is all the constant UFC pregame trash talk that makes both sides want to e-punch the other and poor Astra is left deleting more status's and posts (and giving forum timeouts) than there are minutes in a day.  That or watching the entire server merge into one guild because thats the only thing that stops A&O from taking 400 castles while the rest of us fight to the death.

 

Also, buff mastersmiths and or buff/nerf other classes please.  New meta 2017 for christs sake.

 

This game would thrive with a little community dev support.  Go hire a community coder, pay them in WP, and let your player base grow in the process.

Adding more god items is not going to spice up anything. It'll just give the guilds who already make items uncontested more of an advantage.

 

Sorry but what? Did you consider just contesting?

We do not need more God items added to the server. No one cares enough to contest. Adding more items isn't going to make those players that don't care suddenly feel compelled to contest. As I said earlier it just gives the uncontested faction a bigger advantage than they already have.

There should be an overhaul to god creation (not the items themselves).

Since they weren't all answered previously:
 

1. When is iRO getting the guild warehouse and the rest of the Clan updates?

2. Will the auction house ever make a return to RO or is that for sure a permanent removal? If permanent removal, why?

4. Since Dorams are a 1st Class that has been allowed to get to the max level, why not allow the other 1st Classes, 2nd Classes, and Rebirth Classes to get to the max level as well? Are there any plans to make them viable outside of WoE:TE or are they going to be removed out of obsolescence in a future update?

5. Players have expressed interest in playing on a kRO server. Would you be willing to open an English server on kRO for those players or allow players to play on a copy of kRO here on iRO? If not, why do you wish to deny those players a kRO experience, which pushes them to play on private servers?

6. We noticed kRO has an official market browser on their site.

https://forums.warpp...checker-on-kro/

Are there any plans to make this available to iRO for their website?

The official answer about new Prontera from dev team.

 

1. Will Gravity continue the partnership with Mr. Lee Myung Jin and continue the Heroes Trail story arc after where it stopped in the manhwa? (The continuation story where Loki encounter mysterious assassin in Alfheim/ancient Geffenia)

2. With the coming of new gears, some old MVP cards and some Godly Equipment is overshadowed and lost it usefulness, or become obsolete. Are there any plans to re-evaluate old MVP cards effects (e.g. Moonlight, Doppelganger, Phreeoni) and Godly (eg. Asprika, Sleipneir, Jormungandr, Ganbantein) so they become useful?

(Please don't answer you covered them with new cards from Wave Mode and illusion dungeons)

3. There are cards that increase Fire Bolt and Cold Bolt damage, but why Gravity doesn't implement card that increasing Lightning Bolt damage?

This was a feature a long time ago in Ragnarok Mobile, "As players earn zeny (the in-game currency) they are able to send the zeny to their real accounts". I was wondering if upcoming games, such as, Ragnarok Journey will have a similar mechanic to transfer zeny to their RO account?

There use to be a lot of mini games like Izlude Arean and Al De Baran Turbo Track. Are these mini-games going to be re-purpose or improved upon for a future release? I know Kunlun arena and bingo are under-utilized mini-games which have not seen much use since pre-renewal.

Are there any plans to expand Homunculus/Mercenary system?

Any future plans to improve the leveling mechanics of Homunculus?

Can kRO allow iRO to change skill formulas/effects? 

 

Can we get final confirmation as to whether or not a Mechanic who job changed after reaching 99/70 as a mastersmith retains the job bonus to upgrade weapon? 

Please, need confirmation on this.

 

 

 

 

Quoting myself from January thread

Would it be possible to get the position bug fix from kRO expedited? 15 year old bug still not fix...

01/18
- 캐릭터가 이동 중 피격을 당할 시, 위치 오류가 발생하던 현상이 개선됩니다

(Position bug problem that occured when character being hit while moving has been fixed.)

That was answered in the February Q&A. Basically "yeah sure, one day".

Is it possible for kRO developers to remove the bowling bash cool down hard coded in iRO?

1. Can you give more details about the Soul Reaper job class?

2. Is there a plan to develop and implement a better "day and night cycle" feature?

Will Dorams get their own Battleground accessory and KVM weapon in the future for the sake of hoomanity?

3. Is there a plan on making a "running sprite" for classes? It's kind of funny that you only see characters "walking" even though their movement speed is up [ and when Taekwon classes "Sprint" they look like they're only walking fast. 

Q1: There are 1 or 2 English private servers that have lasted several years and have playerbases that are marginally just as large as our international server. These servers retain such playerbases cause their payment model moves away from pay to win and make many cash shop items the prizes of several quests after farming for a few days or weeks.

Are there any plans to renovate the structure of ROs gameplay and payment systems to pull players away from private servers and back to the legitimate servers?



Q2: Are there any plans to send us a larger variety of leveling areas for 150+ characters? We currently have two viable options and they're very boring/monotonous as well as rather difficult to get parties for.

Q3: Are there any plans to give Maestro/Wanderer equipment that buffs the effectiveness of their support skills? In parties they're only really used for 2nd job, pre-trans skills. The class would feel more productive if our myriad of buffs were more potent and desired.

Why is the character series "est z" censored?

 

inb4: you and your immobilization skills....oh and we'll forward this to the related department. Just kidding, thanks for inlcluding my question on the list CM Astra!

Hi Astra, when will these questions get some anawers? Just curious because I dont see any posts about the devs replies(or maybe I missed it)

Thanks

Edit: Just saw it one the boxing the compass ep.
