[GM]Relinquish

Hello everyone, we are looking to hire new Game Masters. For more information and how to apply, please refer to the Rolling Applications topic. We encourage everyone to send in their applications again, even if you have applied recently. We are working on revising the way applications are reviewed. There will be a follow up announcement about this in the future. For now though, make sure to send your application in if you would like to become a GM on ForsakenRO!

Also, right now the headgears do not have any effects. We wanted to let the community decide on them instead. Please make a topic in suggestions if you have any ideas for the Usakoring and Cowring hats, as well as the Feather Berets!

It is a 1.4% drop rate.

During the floating rate weekends, the rate increases to 1.4%! 2 new quests have been added in game! Word in Forsaken City is that Kelly has a new Usakoring headgear she'd like to make especially for you this month. If that doesn't suit your fancy, why not try helping Henry?

We removed the place holder for the Black Emperium, should be replaced now!

Any colors that were not added to the ladder are going to be released in the future. We didn't want to add everything at once.

Presents... Introducing 3 brand new exclusive PvP ladder sets to match our custom palettes! These new RAWs and Sacred wings are available in Maroon, Azure, and Majestic Purple. They correspond to palette numbers 309 (Maroon), 304 (Azure), and 314 (Majestic). More palettes for these colors will be available soon. The rest of the sets will be released soon too, as prizes for some of our weekly events. Along with these 3 new PvP ladder wing sets, we are making PvP ladder 1 week again by popular demand!

The topic was closed because people would act immaturely in the topic. Also, players would post proof of others cheating in the topic. Thus, removing the anonymity of reporting another player. If players can post a reasonable reason as to why they would need to post something on the topic, I suppose we could reopen it.

Hi Guys, I'd like to inform you that all pending donations have been completed, I am able to login from my home normally now. I've given the people that were waiting an extra bonus because of the delay, there shouldn't be any more delays from now on. Enjoy! :cap:

It's just a rumor, it's untrue.

a. "fo sho. AD doesn't even break as fast anymore. you want class balance, gms? then stop nerfing out several classes." To me, that sounded as if it was directed at the staff. "nerfing" classes, I don't really see any other way for us ( GMs ) to do such a thing if it were not intentional. If I misunderstood what you were referring to then I apologize. b. I did a search, I didn't find any other topics about coma/break/acid bomb damage. c. Genesis no longer handles updates. if a suggestion is accepted/denied or even implemented depends on the community, and the only way to get a verdict on that is if the community voices it's opinion. ( in this case, with a suggestion topic ) d. The point of a suggestion forum is for the community to voice their own views on the subject. If a certain change cannot be made then perhaps an alternative modification/addition will suffice. A perfect example would be what Sensation suggested, I had not thought of taking that route, but due to an alternative approach to the problem we might very well have something there. e. How else are we to know what the general population wants if they do not tell us. What I might think is a good addition might not comply with what the rest of the community believes to be, which is why we encourage the suggestion forum and posting in it. f. I don't really see your posts pointing to anything in specific ( I find some of your posts rather hard to fully comprehend sometimes, mainly due to the internet abbreviations and substitutions for words ) [ these, thankfully were not ], let me break them all down and see if I can figure out what you mean: Inquiry: fo sho. AD doesn't even break as fast anymore. you want class balance, gms? then stop nerfing out several classes. Answer: Yes, we do want what is best for the community and the general gameplay ( balance ). Regarding AD, skill based chances of breaking items were modified and increased Sunday morning. Inquiry: nothx, that was a fixed bug. Answer: If you were referring to AD missing due to the target wearing specific equipments then no, that protection of an exploitation of the skill should not be removed unless, of course, the community dubs it needed. I hope this answers all your questions, and hopefully this will set an example for suggestions in regards to the type of mindset that will get modifications out there. :biggrin:

How exactly do you jump to the conclusion that we ( intentionally ) are modifying classes ( or 'nerfing' as you put it ) to further diminish class balance. Perhaps instead of going around assuming and claiming fiction to be fact, you should enlighten us with some valid suggestions*. Constructive criticism is always welcome, but what you are doing is far from that. *much like the ones you had done with the Elite Weapons, which I personally added.

If it was possible and the community wanted it and she wasn't willing to do it ( for whatever reason ) we would be forced to find someone else who would. Changing the color/effect of an item that has already been released for a while has always caused problems ( see Emperium Auroras recolors ). This is the community's decision, not the spriter/person that recolor's.
