Xtopher

I agree that there will never be class balance in Ragnarok, but to tell people to quit just because they can't tank asura seems a bit ignorant. The "if you don't like it then quit" mentality will get a server no where. You must be open to new ideas and suggestions, even if they're completely illogical or not possible. Atleast the player cares enough to suggest it, but responses like just quit will never help the server grow. Anyhow, I don't see anything wrong with a small dmg boost to DS, or maybe a in change falcon assault/blitz beat to make it somewhat useful. Obviously not as strong as VA though because of the range snipers have.

Kinda reviving an older suggestion, I know... But has this been reviewed/accepted/rejected/even considered? I like all 4 suggestions.

I would like to join on my High Priest: Father Xtopher lvl 255 full FK set (3x kiel, maya purp, GR, Tao, 2x FBH) I'm working on the elite quest for HP, I just need the two mvp cards to finish it. Also, probably going to donate for slightly better equips later this month. Probably some int belts, maybe one of those zodiac things. Gots a Red ROP too, no RS yet though... I'd really like to woe and I love the Priest class :angel:

I like the M11x, its a tiny beast thats for sure... I just don't know how much fun it would be to game on a 11'' screen... Also: no disk drive.

I agree there should be more ways to donate. I wish paypal was working here (they'd be a few bucks richer, at least from me) Sending $$ from outside the states sucks... even in the states you have to get a money order (theres no way i'm putting cash in an envelope and mailing it), and WU charges a fee I'm not willing to pay. The only disadvantage to SMS I'm thinking about is... what about the parents who get the phonebill and are like "YOU BOUGHT WHAT?!?!" They may attempt some kind of refund/punishment of our users which could be a hassle... but this is implying they did it without permission... which kids tend to do...

This mans got it. I mean there's really not point in trying to inflate the price of zeny... Just think of zeny as your pennies/nickels/dimes/quarters and your DQ & EQ as your $10s and $20s.... (sorry if you don't use American currency, but you get the idea) And the last thing you want to do is depreciate the value of DONATION coupons

I really wish they could be made more prevalent in pvp. But, as long as most players use champ/sinx and don't want to diversify out to different classes they will not be happy with this or even agree with you.... they're "top dog" why would they want to risk that? There will never be a day where classes are balanced or even a day where all classes stand legitimate fighting chance in pvp. Thats just how RO is.

After getting re-adjusted to playing again I've found that this class has been crippled. Not only is the heal really low in comparison to int but they also have a very low amount of hp. I mean professors (a mage class) have more hp... what is with that? There's people who can put on reflect gear and if I'm linked I will die in 1 reflected holy light because the hp rate is so low... Also, why would you give every other class in the game a scarf but not acolytes? That seems kind of one sided... I understand not wanting to make champs any more powerful but that cripples priests by comparison even more... And as I mentioned in another thread Basilica is incredibly weak for a high rate server like this. Professors/Paladins/Clowns/Stalkers can all get through it. Not a very "perfect" defense to me. STALKERS CAN EVEN DIVEST YOU WHEN BASILICA IS UP.... WUT??? -end rant-

Well, I need it to be more mobile than a desktop but not necessarily portable...

Ok, I think you misunderstood my post... 1. I know you can buy a notebook mouse but I won't be be using the mouse the whole time and when I don't use it the track mouse is obnoxious. And if I did use a mouse 100% of the time do you know how much that would hinder portability? 2. Theres no reason to post what you posted, Of course 1 Euro is 1.2284 USD, but the converse is also true: 1 USD = .815 Euro.... http://de.finance.yahoo.com/waehrungen/wae...SD;to=EUR;amt=1 The Euro is worth more right now, and has been for a long time, I don't know about "will always be" though... seeing here as of lately the dollar has been appreciating in comparison... Just FYI I'm getting my BS in Finance/Econ next year so yea... I study this stuff a lot... Things cost different amounts in different locations around the world... There are a lot of variables that go into it (political stance, law, and culture just to name a few). 3. If you like it then purchase it, I don't want to talk you out of buying something you like. I don't think its possible to stop the clicking sound without manually going in and changing it physically (replacing the parts with different parts) which would void any warranty you have.

I'm sorry this is a bit offtopic but I hate when people do that. ^ It's just a word unless you provide some sort of reasoning. Did you flip a coin? Anyway, I don't know about the snap/backslide stuff because I feel that would upset a lot of pvpers. But I would like to see Snipers integrated into pvp somehow.

I'm sure you are. Never hurts to know more though. You should work on your addition and subtraction now too. :D

I suppose you didn't directly :laugh: But implication is pretty much the same thing... Glad you got the chance to educate yourself.

It's just creatine really. Which is something you already have naturally. It's not like im injecting unnatural stuff lmao. I do all of the work by myself, the suppliment doesn't give me muscle... it gives me more energy and a better focus on my workout. If I drank it and did nothing it would be horrible for my health & there would be NO benefit, the work is all me. Where a lot of ppl are like wondering around between sets... sitting around zoning out or drinking water to procrastinate I'm going from set to set quickly and more focused getting a better workout. What your saying is like saying you shouldn't drink powerade. Kind of ignorant. What you're looking for is Anabolic Steroids, I direct you to Wikipedia so that you can educate yourself before making remarks liket his: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anabolic_steroid Jack3d is a Pre-exercise ATP Augmentor.... Thanks for your comment though?

So what does Xtopher do when hes not at work/class/gaming? Well as of lately I've gotten big into working out/body sculpting. Anyhow, I've tried a few suppliments which are supposed to make your workout more efficent/beneficial and out of all the things I've tried this is the best: The first day of use I had the best back/shoulder and cardio workout I've ever had. So, I'm just throwing it out here for anyone else who likes to spend time at the gym and is interested. To relate to my fellow RO players: This is IRL Yggdrasil Berry if you drink if you drink it after you work out... but it's suppose to be before you do.

Glad it's relevant to someone else's interest! Well I REALLY DO NOT LIKE the mouse buttons on Vaios... they're so freaking loud and obnoxious. I'm going to be using the computer primarily for gaming and using a mouse but during the times I'm just browsing the web I don't want to deal with that annoying sound.... HOWEVER... I could do some research and see if they're changing it or if there is a Vaio that would fall in this category. Thanks for the suggestion. ~~~~EDIT~~~ VAIO ADDED About the prices between US& Europe... Well I've heard mixed things. Some computers are much more expensive in Europe for some reason... like the parts (graphics cards/memory) are more expensive... There's also the fact that the USD has been appreciating in comparison to the Euro over the last few months... so 1USD is worth more than it was before... so the price may seem less but the exchange rate may have something to do with it.... I mean 1usd is still like .811 euros but thats better than like 5 months ago in January 1USD was only worth like .695 Euros.... Theres a lot of variables that go into international pricing strategies...

Inb4 "use coma cards". I agree, snipers suck. Long range strip and a little bit stronger DS would be nice... Maybe Tripple Strafe as opposed to Double?

Because I will have to move it around some. I guess I didn't clarify that... Being physically portable helps in school/meetings. A lot of these are heavy but I can deal with that. And I don't want to leave it at school when I come home for a few days... @bankai' It has some good specs, but it's kind of ugly... and I'm a strong believer in that you get what you pay for... if it has the same specs as a computer a couple hundred bucks more than it and its not custom built there has to be a catch somewhere...

Well, I'm hoping that if this was taken seriously as a suggestion then they would fix it to where your vit wouldn't matter/reduce anything.

Man, I'm jealous. The new M17x is sexyyyy but its def out of my price range for now... Battery life isn't much of a deal breaker for me because I'll most likely be plugged in all the time. I have a Dell now and the support has always been good for me. I had repairmen come to my dorm room on my campus and replace a motherboard & screen... That doesn't say much for Dells build quality though... I guess everyone has different experiences.

I know right.... Its a hard decision to make...

I'm all for beefing up Mages/Priests. I like it, but I doubt the rest of the server will go for it.

^ You didn't even mention the fact that they could use sonic blow and stun you as well. Some status ailments would be cool... but its very important to pick ones that won't completely mess everything up. One that you didn't mention that I would like to see would be Silence through Lex Divina. I'm not 100% disagreeing with the suggestion, but I'm betting most players are not going to like this... ppl are adverse to change. Could you imagine if champs found a way to stun you then just asura back and forth? To hell with that.

That can be a pro or con I suppose, depending on how you look at it. I don't hate Mac, I hate Mac fans....

So, I'm looking to buy a new laptop this summer. The make or break with me is performance... I want this thing to be a beast, but under $2,000... because I am working off of a college student's summer budget... I'm also making this topic to give myself a better comparison of my options..

Somewhat cheaper for the specs. 16.4'' display. Cons: It's kind of ugly in my opinion.. especially compared to the competition... I did some research and the track-pad mouse still has the really loud annoying clicking buttons... This is a big turnoff for me because I don't want everyone in the room staring at me whenever I'm clicking things... This model is also out of stock on the Sony website... They didn't allow me to customize it, this may be because its out of stock. Feel free to give me your opinions/input! Keep in mind the computer I want will be used for gaming.
