Correct. Balancing is different from nerfing.

I believe one of the reasons why Genesis don't use those is that it's buggy and has several issues.

Why don't you accept the fact that we did not "nerf" it (based on how you describe nerf) because we only made the spam equal to a legitimate spam of a normal player without 3rd party program like break neck at that time.

Let me just add since I was part of nerfing the Kitty Claws. It was too OP that time especially when you do more SBs in a single second which me and the GMs thought it should be nerfed. If you ask me, I still see SinX who used SB and still kills people. Again, the nerf that we did is just matching the spam of legit vs with break neck / other 3rd party programs.

These suggestions look fine to me. :)

Have you tried it again?

Glad to see you back. I will do my best to include the Sniper trapper build in the next patch. I won't give more info about this because it will be a 50-50 issue again (some will like it, some will not) Yeah. I'm sure you guys will like it. :)

That should not happen on the updated Sinx Dex Sword. Let me know if ever.

Correct. Legendary weapons are not yet updated and ready for these yet. Not sure what you mean by that. SinX Dex should not stack on another Sinx Dex.

New events were buggy when we first tested. Hopefully there will be no more problems when we host it later.

Part of hunting for you to find out. :)

As of today, here are the list of weapons we've improved for this patch. SinX Oriental Dex Sword STR +25, AGI +20, DEX +20, Max HP +15%, Aspd +5, Increase damage on medium size monsters by 10%, Atk +10%, Crit -50, Hit +30. You gain 70% of the damage inflicted on an enemy as HP with each attack. Unbreakable. Loki's Cursed Blade STR +25, AGI +15, VIT +10, INT +40, Aspd +5, Increase damage with Soul Destroyer by 50%. Unbreakable. Cursed Assassin Rune: Increase 100% damage with Soul Destroyer and Meteor Assault. Loki's Infernal Dagger STR +15, AGI +15, VIT +10, INT +15, ATK +5. Unbreakable. [+ SinX Oriental Dex Sword] STR +10, VIT +20, Max HP +10%, Increase damage to demihuman by 10%. [+ Loki's Cursed Blade] Max HP +10%, Increase damage of Soul Destroyer and Meteor Assault by 50% High Priest Eagle Strike STR +25, INT +25, DEX +20, Max HP +25%, Aspd +5 Increase damage on medium size monsters by 30%. Unbreakable. 5% chance to cast Lex Aeterna, 3% chance to cast Sonic Blow, 2% chance to cast Asura Strike when doing Physical Attack. Paladin Black Halberd Increase damage on demihumans by 17%, STR +20, DEX +10, Max HP +20%, MATK +10%, Increase damage of Grand Cross by 15%. Unbreakable

it's a work in progress everyone. Fixes and improvements will be done whenever needed. :)

Glad to know some of you are looking forward to Trapper type Snipers. Though it's not yet ready. I hope we can rest the case of Sniper Blessed and Cursed rings.

I hope that a DS type Sniper will be out there to play "the game". Again, if your argument is Cursed Ring being more expensive, it's because the market prefers this. I need to be frank but I don't see the logic of adding the 30% DS increase.

But it's not included for this next patch. You will have to wait because we are following a queue for improvements and new stuff for fRO. :)

Let me copy and paste here what I wrote in your ticket so that everyone will also see it. Hi, thanks for your suggestions. I will have to disagree with the +30% to DS because that will be too OP. Other GMs don't also approve the reduction on FAS because it will also cause a lot of commotion in game. GM Bishop said that you should never compare Gunslingers to Snipers because these two jobs have different roles in the game. GS Full Buster's damage and spam rate is fine because of the following reasons: they have no utilities no disarm or anything no traps no stun lock no ranged push back The one you see in game is an out-dated description (but effects below are working in the server since Dragon patch) and will be updated next patch. But let me share with you what's coded in the database right now. Sniper Blessed Ring Dex +35, ATK +7%, HP +10%, SP +10%, Hit +100 Walking speed +15% Reduce Damage taken from Demihumans by 5% Reduce Vit def by 10%, Increase damage done with Double Strafe by 10% Sniper Cursed Ring Dex +45, HP +20%, SP +10, Hit +100 Walking speed +15% Reduce Damage taken from Demihumans by 5% Reduce Vit def by 10%, Increase damage done with Focused Arrow Strike by 20% Just to add... Of course Cursed Ring will become more expensive because people only know how to play FAS type. But did you remember how Blessed Rings were so expensive before? It's a matter of how you will use it. One example is a Sniper vs Sniper. You will surely dominate if a Sniper goes full (2 Pouring cards) and DS him with a Thana or Inca. What I'm trying to say is that the argument of Cursed ring being more expensive is not a good thing to make Blessed ring too OP to give 30% DS. Again, don't compare it with a Gunslinger For the other build like Falcon and Traps, it's still a work in progress and it won't be added to the rings.

The next update is not as big as the Dragon Quest. But it's a new game changer if you ask me.

I think it's fair enough than not having you and your friends' accounts unbanned. We've talked about this so many times a long time ago.

We try our best to fix everything before we launch our new patch. But we are not perfect and sometimes Bugs still happen when we launch our new updates and we expect our players to be honest and report to us as soon as possible. It's even written in the server rules. Bug abuse (To use a flaw of the game for your benefit): Bugs must be reported as soon as possible via @request. If a Game Master is not online to respond said request, the player must file a bug report in our Ticket System. Spoiler First offense:-Account ban -IP/Universal account ban
