Update: This is now done.

I find this VERY hard to believe unless the elite weapon is giving something it shouldn't. The weapon attack and stats for the new Valkyrie weapon are much better than the elite. there is no comparison. If this is the case, then submit a suggestion with screenshots and suggested changes. I will look at it personally. Fixed for all weapons. It's meant for PvP purposes and will continue to serve that purpose. Fixed for all weapons. File a suggestion with screenshots and I will look at it today. We had it pretty clear that the Black Oriental Sword was temporary for Creator/Whitesmith. We also made it clear that we would implement items that were specifically catered towards that class. So this "piece of crap" as you so eloquently put it, was a predecessor to this new Valkyrie Weapon which is specifically created for that class. if there is a problem with it being too weak, then file a suggestion. Our main focus was to make sure they weren't overpowered. I named it Odin's Hammer because I felt like it and liked the name. I also like the sprite modification so I put that on there as well. Odin's Hammer was mallet-looking anyways.

I released the final patch. All sprites show up now. There is only a very small issue with the female professor, not exceptionally bad. Everything else works perfectly fine and will show up. i will be updating the installers later today. =]

There is a small issue with the professor staff that we are going to be patching tomorrow. Due to this, donations will be processed tomorrow morning and not tonight. Sorry guys.

The LK Weapon is my personal favorite, I love how it looks.

Honestly, I can't understand why I need to repeat myself so many times. Where have you tested Level 5 SC and verified that it is overpowered? Nowhere, at least, not on ForsakenRO. Therefore, how can you say it is overpowered (without testing it our yourself) when we say it is not (we have tested it). Here is what the skill does: "You do an attack that calculates damage using your MATK instead of ATK but is decreased using enemy's DEF, not MDEF. This skills overall damage is affected by cards you have in your weapon, weapon element, size and element of the target and it might miss depending on your DEX." The skill itself DOES NOT increase damage based on level. Instead, it is a function. It serves a purpose, its purpose is not to increase damage based on level. Because it doesn't do that, there was no need to make it above level 1. The purpose, the ONLY purpose of increasing the level was for the damage increase (caused by another code in the script) to be in multiples of 5 instead of 1s. To satisfy my obsession with neatness. We could have added it, made it level 5 and put level 1 in the description and no one would know the difference (there is none). There is no damage difference determined by level. It does not affect damage, it does not change its purpose. Now please, if you have any presumptions above the weapons, test them, then post a topic in the suggestion forum. As lolensue has pointed out, we did read and listen to your comments. Anyways, thank you all for your positive feedback, it is helpful and encourages us to continue to provide updates in a swift manner (an update a week for 3 weeks now xP).

1. My exact words were "over 4 hours". I stayed there for 4 hours, left, and when I came back they were still testing every skill combination. This has been in the works for weeks. However, a handful of people can't possibly account for a server that has over 400 people on. Changes might be done, although its unlikely. Like i said, these have been in the works for weeks. 2. Do you really expect a Priest to be overpowered? They are the definition of a support class. xP 3. Everything stacks with percentages. The damage output is just increased by that much. It wasn't problematic in our tests. *Edit* @xXxJCxXx guide yourself by the Token Shop description, those are the finalized effects. Isn't it a good thing that we listened to you and the community? =]

Since a billion people are trying to look at the topic I can't quote so I'll just indicate who I am speaking to. @CrimToo Whitesmiths are exceptionally onverpowered here. Pnuema isn't going to change much. NO one has these weapons ingame, don't diss them before you actually get a chance to try them. All of these were tested by 3 people for over 4 hours. Once you try them, if you think something should be changed then try the suggestion forum. That's what it is for. @lolensue It offers SC I believe

Probably. This is mainly so we can continue to run our daily backups without shutting down the server every time (50 + GBs!) Also, its so we can continue to expand since our population is growing rather quickly.

We are staying with the same host, just increasing the cap on the network and adding more ram/better processor. It needs to be moved to a new box with those specs.

Hello ForsakenRO, I just wanted to inform you guys that today (7/5/2011) we will be having a 20~50 minute downtime as we upgrade our hardware. Our population has been growing pretty steadily and we are in dire need of an upgrade. I will update this post when the upgrade is complete. There will be no rollback or wipe! Status: Transfer complete. Setting up server now.

If we get enough people that are actually willing to go on it and stay on it. We can renenable it. =]

We can make it so a quest gives you certain skills outside your job.

Good to see new guilds being created. Best of luck to you!

Remember to follow us on twitter! We'll be responding to questions and asking opinions! http://twitter.com/#!/forsakenro

Wasn't this nerfed a while back?

Thank you Seraphine. If anyone else has any changes for that, please continue doing it in that fashion, it really helps!

What about not only changing the skill but also increasing the damage of Acid Demo (by alot). What would you suggest for a creator weapon (even if it means a new one entirely)?

Would it be possible for you guys to post a finalized version of the effect you are suggesting? (the complete effect for the sword with everything included)

Could you get this person to PM it to me?

There, to my knowledge, wouldn't be a way to stop coma if done in that way. We will have to allow GTB inside the event. We can revisit this issue later, I think the most important thing is setting up rules and problems you guys think might arise.

That might work, Are there any items currently that do that?

We will be adding Kafra NPCs in Every town. Thank you. -Accepted-
