Shino

TG is one of the easiest MVP to camp because he spawn at the exact same place. Other MVPs do not. If pvp in that map is disabled, it is for a good reason.

One of the best updates I've seen so far :)

I actually do not know how you would know that we are not trying to catch cheaters when I mostly spend my time online hunting bots(Which is why I don't do events as much as I should be). Just because you don't see us online that it means we are off. But sure, I take everyone's comments and I will be more active for the PvP ladder. Although I got to tell you that whenever I am online, I rarely see people ladder. The only time I have monitored the ladder last week is when some players reported about a certain sinx. But sure, I will dedicate some more time on monitoring the ladder. I am mostly always online in the forums. if you cannot catch me in game, message me here and I will go online just for you. I am not sure if I have mentioned it, but I cannot always be in a windows machine, as I hated coding in it. So if I am off, I might be using my other PC. so please message me here in the forums. As for the program users/sprite edits and other stuff. I cannot monitor for_fild for hours just to wait for them to show up when I could be using that time to hunt bots. We have different timezones, please take that into consideration. If you suspect a player using any of those things, make a ticket. As I said, we have different timezones and I may not be online when you see him. So making a ticket would be better(include the server time you witnessed it) and that would make it easier for us to monitor certain people. And I gotta be frank here, you imply that you see tons of people using them, and yet I haven't received ANY report from you Zergling about it. @Cherry Kiss I edited the topic title, sorry :3

Please create a ticket for this so we could help you further.

if you have some screenshots of it, feel free to create a ticket and I will personally check it. If not, and you do remember the player's name, create a ticket and I will warn the player in game. Please do not post the information here. :D

The increased HP should not apply now considering they will be one handed(probably). Around 10-20% increase might be plausible. And I do like the idea of having a rifle for gunslinger. :)

Regarding the money sent, sadly, we cannot do anything for it. I suggest you go to the place where you transferred the money and tell them what happened. They might be able to help you.

How can two bows be slower? It is easy to switch bows with battlemode. I said that getting 300 base dex makes you lack in somewhere (less seeds carry due to low str, lower vit) I assume that one point at around 290 needs 20+ stat points which is too high. aspd isnt an issue since even if you put some agi, it will still be less usage of the stat points compared to maxing dex. My calculations just showed that it is indeed true, putting high dex means getting higher strip chance. But it still depends against the person you are fighting. I believe the highest you can attain is 85% chance, but that means the enemy has virtually no dex. Putting high dex, and your chance is about 65% against people with total 150 dex, you still get around 1/2 chance to strip, the same if you had 50% strip chance which can be gained with lower dex. Getting 300 dex for a matyr built stalker is not a good idea. you are focusing too much on the fact that you can strip. What if you cant? your hp can't be that high with that stat build, you cannot carry more than 250 seeds with that str. That is what I am pointing out. getting around 270-280 base dex wont give much difference compared to you using 300. I will test later, but as I remember correctly, I can hit the minimum of 15k against people using matyr without even needing to strip.

Strip chance depends on your dex. taken from iRO Wiki: "DEX difference between the caster and the target affects on the success chance. If the success rate drops below your base success chance, the base success chance will be used instead. The success rate is believed to be: Success Rate = 5 + 2 * Skill Level + (Your DEX - Enemy DEX) / 5 Duration = 135 seconds +/- 1 second per 2 difference in DEX between caster and target" So, let us say that your dex is 300+100, and your enemy dex is 150 total. Success rate= 5+2* skill level which is the base strip chance(15%)+(400-150)/5 Success rate= 15%+ 50%= 65% chance of strip. Now, getting a base dex of 300 costs too much stat points that most of the other stuff is lacking. I make it a point on dex that i could strip 150 total dex characters with at least a 50% chance. no need to go overboard on the dex part, even if you are fighting high dex characters, your success rate cannot go down below 15%. So, with that said, you will always have the 15% Base chance of lvl 5 full strip, no matter what your dex is. Which makes super high dex inferior for matyr type Stalkers. Even with incantation samurai/thana, you will still miss on safety wall. And the better alternative is have a 2nd bow. one bow for matyr, the other for double strafe. That way your matyr damage won't be sacrificed. I used matyr type stalker as a main before. I was using it with the elite stalker dagger and Mix A belts. I haven't fought anyone that was able to live from matyr after I stripped them. If i am able to hit 50k+ with matyr, i hit 250k for 5 hits, and almost no class has that much hp after getting stripped. And then again, I am pretty sure I hit more than that.

Matyr's Reckoning ignores defense. So Incantation samurai/thanatos card is a wasted card slot. I believe the dex is too high. Str too low in my opinion. Normally, after you strip people, it doesn't really matter how high your HP is, a stripped person dies if hit with matyr anyway.

I was the one who banned him so don't worry. As Veracity said, our names will appear on the list of players inside the public chat, doesn't matter if we are Game Masters.

I don't know how it would work really, but what will be the weapon's classification then, considering some skills only work with certain type of weapon equipped(throw kunai, bow skills etc). I see so many things that could be a problem here.

Regarding the homunculus. So far right now they don't completely work(Like Vanilmirth), I believe Bishop is looking for a fix. Aid potion had some use before when we had annihilation event. But, it is the same with priest's heal where it only has use during WoE. A high rate server cannot really do justice much to healing skills. This server has been ygg dependent from the start. It is our equivalent of mastela fruit from low rates. If you don't use yggs, there is no way in hell you would survive for more than 5 seconds. I do agree on some that some skills were forgotten, and we are constantly working on that(like letting stalkers use trans skills). If you had some suggestion, please make a thread for it so the community can pitch in ideas and makes it easier for us to see and implement it if possible.

Moved the topic to the Suggestions sub-forum as it belongs there. :)

The legendary weapons and valkyrie weapons for this classes(gunslingers, snipers, bow stalkers) are all one handed. That is why they can wear shield and weapon at the same time.

Goodluck to all those who will apply :D

I am neutral about this honestly. This quest was supposed to be hard and takes time. I see the point of having difficulty in getting the items, but that was intended for this quest. And for the other suggestion by Precious Bio, it was different. She was suggesting the lowering of spawn time of the MVP. I know that Valk Randgris spawn slaves still drop Spiritual Whispers and that was the reason why people want to make valk randgris spawn faster. However, Valk Randgris spawns at an abnormally long time(around 2-3 hours) So I see the point on making it just one hour. The other needed items weren't really that hard to get, it just takes time. For me, I have no problem either way, increasing the spawn on one map, or just decreasing the spawn time. If people reject this, I am ok with it as well.

If I remember correctly. The suggestion actually for legendary dagger is it would use Fdagger as a catalyst(kinda like capes on the ring quest). Now I myself do not know when we will implement this though.

I believe the Legendary Dagger quest suggestion has been accepted already. :3

Wow this is really nice :3 I wish I had the patience to actually do stuff like those :(

Wouldn't it be easier to just go Full Throw Type and never worry about GTB?

People who do not donate think that Donators just go the easy way, by donating and getting stronger faster than anyone else. Just don't mind them really. What they don't realize is that Donators use their own money irl to get geared because some of them just do not have the free time most non-donators do. Technically, Donating is the real-life counterpart of Farming, you farm real money and get items through that :p

I'm sorry but I do take offense to what you are implying that we are not hunting bots. I do bot hunting on every map that were used for quests(the christmas quest, ring quest, gaunts quest etc) first thing whenever I go online. I do it so much that i rarely do events as most people have noticed. As some people have already mentioned, the best way to report is through the ticket system, so any GM can actually see and act on it. I am not defending whoever GM you talked to, but we all have commitments and he/she might have to do something else and wasn't able to check whatever you reported(seeing as thana spawns within 2 hours)

Guys, we didn't say we removed the skill for good. We said we removed it temporarily while we are addressing the issues with it so it wouldn't be abused while we are looking for a fix. Trust me, it would lead to more problems if we enable it now and some people know the exploit within that skill.
