We basically have the Dragon Knight fame quest which add boosts to the already existing sets, it is just in the premature stage at this point. Once Genesis finishes them up, it will be the same thing as having a better set. New weapons would be weird, considering the valk weapons are already godly items in terms of RO mechanics. I see no point in having OP weapons when we already need to tone down a few weapons.

Exactly this. Why make the effort of making stuff like colored legendary lhz aura which will just make scammers happy.

1. MVP Hunters can still hunt and sell their cards in the price that the economy now dictates. This does not diminish their purpose. They just cannot abuse the economy anymore. 2. I never donated, everyone in this server knew that. If I do donate now, it will be to help the server, not to gear myself up as I pretty much done that already. MVP cards cost way less when I started and yet it enabled me to gear myself easily. 3. We have vote sets and now vote capes. I have a biochemist using Vote sets, now voting for the cape, using legendary weapon and legendary int gaunts. I can pvp well. The thing that enabled me to do so are MVP Cards. With the MVP cards being cheaper now, newbies can gear up and pvp much faster with less time to farm. What newbies need to do now is to gear up the minimum gear that I said, join a guild and do all guild activities. That should enable them to get their very first donation item that they would need, for Bios it would be Urds and Friggs, next would be the valk weapon and lastly the cape. Way before they can get the donation cape to make the ring, they can already hunt the items needed for it. It's just a matter of priority. 4. If it's the trollers fault that the economy went so bad in the first place, the MVP Hunters that sold cards at ridiculous prices made it much worse. If they suffer now due to the cheap card prices, they had it coming

With the introduction of vote capes, gearing an LK with cheap things shouldn't be too hard.

I'm pretty sure Shane is being sarcastic :p I know how he plays LK anyway.

I want to see who will argue against that video;

My biochem guide is not just for pvp, that would be the items you will use for everything. If it's just knight set and silver mvp cards, it would be hard as you would need a decent spam rate to mvp as a biochem. You need 3 kiels, not silvers. knight set would work but you can just vote for the fset and now you can also vote for the infernal cape(lower headgear) which helps a lot.

Because it's fun. And newbie or not, this question has been asked a lot and there are like countless threads about it if they searched at the very least.

They find it hard to believe that LK users will want to nerf LK. Some of them really just protect their own interests.

Oh yeah definitely, there was no point in OPing cards anyway, I never knew why people did it. I already expect a handful of MVP guilds trying to monopolize card supply to be super pissed right now.

I expect a lot of rage coming on all of us who will agree to this. I had already said that it astounded me when I came back a while ago that LK is allowed to parry with a one hand sword. It's not like they have the lack of defense anyway. With parry, they are on par with paladins in terms of tanking while still maintaining top tier damage which I find really odd. Agree on removing the skill to be used with the valk and legendary weapon for LK. Now we wait for some people who main LKs and abuse parry to create ridiculous statements on how easily Parry LK is to counter.

Awesome update! I did not expect you guys to make the capes available for voting, that changes a lot of things for the newbies and people who can't donate(at least they will have gear that is a bit on par while waiting to get their rings). The only thing I don't like much is the enabling of @commands(it includes @storage I assume) in pvp rooms. This would allow a party to camp the whole day in the room due to just getting seeds from storage. If @storage can be disabled, it would better.

Doesn't it dispell every buff except FCP already? We had a few months of having FCP dispelled from the room, a lot of people didn't like it and I kinda see the point. From those months, the number of people laddering on stalker reached sky high. I don't mind it dispelled or not, but that is because I main bio, so it doesn't matter, but the rest of the community will deem it unfair.

It is indeed hard work, I can't even do it in Java because I suck so badly on it. I am volunteering on just because I did plan on doing it for sometime, I just didn't have enough motivation to do it. Would actually help me learn a few things while doing it. The old app I made is a basic twitter clone. You add people, follow people and their "tweets" will be shown on your feed. Now, what I would add in it is a basic messenger at the very least, because making a live chat will eat a lot of bandwidth and I don't want Heroku to charge me for it. Also, I would optimize so it could work on smartphones, which is a bit easier to do nowadays. Again this may take some time, and you guys are indeed better off using messengers like Skype for instance.

Both of course. Not everything is about damage. I pity those who only use BB when they forgot how OP Vital Strike is.

The GM team(i believe) do not have a dedicated web developer for them. If they decide to do this, they would have to hire one. Seeing as this site is done with PHP, they would need to hire a PHP developer. The cost of hiring one will depend on the developer's skill set. I will say it now, it is expensive to get one. Unless someone actually volunteers to do it, I don't see this happening. Now, for an alternative: I have a web application that I made like a year ago that sits around in my Github account. It is made using Ruby on Rails and not PHP and in no way can I integrate it into the forums. The web app is basically a clone of Twitter. If I have the spare time, I can use that web app as a basis for a twitter like messaging/social network site for this server. But, as I am volunteering on this, and I do not really have much spare time, please do not expect from it. Also, I will host it(either on Heroku as that is free but a bit slow, or AWS), I can't setup my own server and domain for it, so once I post the URL please save it into your bookmarks as the URL is not easy to remember(generated one by the hosting). If that is ok with you, then I'll check if I can update and start working on the app on the weekends. I will also change that app so that it could work even on iPhones/Android so that anyone can communicate using their phones. Sound fair enough?

The reason ROP is not allowed for champs is not because of the effect, it is because of ROP's animation. When a champ spams his skills very fast(zen-fury-asura) there seems to be a missing frame or something in the ROP that errors everyone out of the game, hence as a fix, ROP is not allowed to be worn by champs. I think there is an alternative aura that has the same effect as ROP in the token shop, although I am not sure.

Oh damn, you guys remind me of our clients at work, when they think a function such us this is easy to code. First of all, facebook chat is not really a chat function, it is more like an instant messenger(skype, yahoo messenger, msn). That is harder to code into a simple website. But I believe this forum is made with IP Board(says so in the lower right). And I think IP Board has a chat feature, but not like the one in facebook. The chat feature of IP Board is a chat room feature. Now, if that is the only one available on IP Board, we already have the shoutbox which practically does the same thing(everyone can talk and read what you type) so not needed. Although having private chat rooms might be nice, but it shouldn't be a priority. Best solution: Add them on skype.

I would love this. Would make it so that my valk set see some light out of storage.

You just ignored what we say about dealing decent damage with stave and claims that magic users can't do anything when people use GTB when there are a lot of things they can do. I can kill any class with 250k hp within a few casts of firebolt on my prof, and that takes like 2 seconds. The reason why GTB is not changed is because of those scenarios, magic classes, with our customs, will own any class and have no weakness(they are ranged and have a lot of defensive skills) at all. Now if you argue with that maya card is there, I would like to see you tank heavens drive on just that card.

This is coming from a player who mainly plays magic classes. No, GTB does not need rebalancing, what needs to be done are few tweaks on the magic classes(mostly on their HP). Your suggestion completely ignores the fact that RO is primarily a team game, and mostly does team pvps rather than 1v1. No one will use a card that just gives mdef, as getting matk is easier than stacking mdef, so having it is pointless altogether. If your stave crasher does 5k at most, against players who are using gtb, you are doing something wrong or your gear is not on par with them. You should be doing at least 16k on incantation alone. Changing GTB will make magic classes OP in highrates. We tried it once in this server, giving 50% effect on gtb, it didn't work well.

Well, I do think that it is one of the reasons why he wanted this suggestion, because warping in fild is not allowed. Think about it, @go 15 is a small map and unlike fild01, it doesn't have the entrance back to fcity. I just think it is implied that he wants warping enabled considering his previous reply to it: I knew a lot of the so called pvpers in fild are technically gone the moment warping isn't allowed in the map anymore(especially the ones who put their buffers in fild as well). I believe he made this suggestion thinking warping should be allowed in the map.

Players who never played bio are the only ones who can say that it is a 2 button class. Of all the classes I used(prof, stalker, sinx, bio) on pvp, bio probably is the 2nd class where I have a full bm setup and still needs to double click stuff in inventory(the first is prof). You don't play bio, you have no basis in saying it is a 2 button class. You already claimed not playing bio, so where do you base your assumptions regarding the class then? If you do not have experience with it, you shouldn't have used it for an example explaining why ninjas need delay on their defensive skills, you should have used a different class that ninjas render useless(sniper is one). 30k each hit of kunai(which hits 3x) or 30k damage overall? Kinda confused here.
