Ares

This is not the help desk. Work is being done by GMs and players regarding these jobs. You are in Suggestions forum and you completely did not follow the forum rules.

I'm not so sure about this.

I'm requesting any good souls to summarize what has been discussed on this topic. I'd hope the topic starter will do that. Thanks.

This topic has a lot of poor comments. Let me just tell everyone that if you keep posting unnecessary comments, it only makes things worse for us; making it less productive. If you guys read the guidelines I made when making a suggestion, that will be better. Let me also point out that you do not assume and spread what's going to happen to these jobs without OUR FINAL PATCH NOTES.

My Halloween Costume Start date: November 22, 2016 End date: November 30, 2016 Read the MECHANICS carefully and post your screenshots here! What's your best Halloween costume for this? Show off your creative and resourcefulness now!

Thank you for those who participated. I'll post the list of winners soon!

I have new effects for this and will test soon. Hopefully, it should be good enough and not so OP. Watch out for the next patch.

I want to avoid it being the same as linker.

There is a thread regarding Ninja suggestion and please don't make duplicates. There's no need to reiterate this.

Ninja's should have increase weight limit.

We have a tickets system. There you should report this.

Nari's Hellbringer now has "Allow use of lvl 10 Enlarge Weight Limit"

Enlarge weight limit SHOULD BE INCLUDED. If it is not, then sorry for the inconvenience.

It's good to see that people are now trying to other Guardians. Yes, I did try my best to make all types (blessed, cursed, and guardian) to differ from each other. Blessed : single target Cursed : multi target Guardian : single / multi target So how does Guardian ring differ from the old ones? Cursed is multi target but can be countered by Land Protection while Guardian still works on Land Protection.

I would agree to this as well.

That is not us because the name is very obvious that it's not a [GM].

If I remember correctly, I have new good stuff for this one but it is currently pending. It isn't our top priority as of the moment.

Good morning, I shall start answering these since I'm free at the moment. Let's see... 1. First and Foremost, which 3 words would you use to describe yourself? (Not physically speakin' of course) GOD, GAWD, GOSH 2. Can you tell us a little about yer favourite hobbies outside of Ragnarok? Well, there are two layers outside Ragnarok. One is what Genesis, Veracity, and I have been working on called SERVER WORKS, and the other is my PERSONAL LIFE. For SERVER WORKS, my hobby is to always check for my superiors' PM to me (whether here on forums or in Skype). It is obvious that we (including other GMs) work hard and try our best to make the server a better place. Let me list down the things I do in the SERVER WORKS: Check for the bugs found and test it Re-test the new items and also replicate how people use it until you see if there's need to balance it Design and test new items Design the monsters needed for the raids Test the raids Develop and test new GM events etc. Some of the things I do are confidential but there you have it. The list above are with the help of other GMs and is not meant to make myself a better GM. For my PERSONAL LIFE, I still do a ton of project works for my clients. Yeah, work is my hobby. I earn enough money to help myself and my family. I also love traveling, photography, looking on designs, playing music, etc. 3. A question that every interviewer would have to ask. When did you first play RO and what made you start? It was around 2004. It was introduced to me by my cousin. One of the reasons why I played also is that I was linked to a girl who plays RO as well. We didn't end up together but we're still close friends since our parents are childhood friends. (too much info right there) 4. What is it that drives you as a GM and keeps you doing the job you've all been doin' so well? Also, how did you become a GM in the first place. Because of the fans out there who love and hate me. LOL But really, I find the game really interesting and if only the game was developed well from its backbone, we could have done much better. I wanted to do more but there are limitations to this game and things can't be done. 5. Since music is obviously awesome, what do you enjoy listenin' to and is there a situation where you would listen to one sort o' music rather than other? I already answered this in the previous interview. I love guitar solos, jazz, and any symphonic pieces. Music is very powerful and it changes my mood when I listen to music. I know someone who listens to Dragon Ball Z whenever he plays FRO to keep his game on fire. But I normally listen depending on the mood of my projects. If my project is very technical, I'd listen to classical music. In game, Ragnarok bgm is fine already. 6. The most important question of 'em all. What's yer favourite type of alcohol, and if ye don't drink alcohol *cough, shame, cough* what is yer favourite beverage? I'd go for beer. Beer because I always have a good time with friends with beer. 7. If ye could be an animal (in this life or the next) which animal would that be? Bishop please don't be sayin' cat or kitten I'm just not buyin' it! I'd rather become a dog. I love dogs and beautiful ladies do so too. (oh yeah) 8. D'ye happen to have a pet (not in RO of course)? If you do, what is it and how did you name it? (If I had a cat I'd surely call him Sir Fancy Pants the First) I had a kitten. I named it Dog, Dog the cat.... You'll see an NPC in some events that I designed. 9. What are yer favourite movies and/or TV shows. Yes.. yes.. Animes do freakin' count /pif Well for the recent ones, I'd say Hunter x Hunter, Shingeki no Kyojin, and Naruto. I just don't have that time to watch ALL the animes online. Now for the juicy Questions 10. For the sake o' gossip, are ye a single? I am not. But if I'm outside the country, I can be single right? 11. That's a tough one, have ye ever broken the law!? Don't be worryin' matey I'm not one to judge, breakin' the law is part of a pirate's daily routine anyway. Well, Marijuana is legal in some places now. But I tried puffing 3-5 hits for the sake of knowing how it is like to do it. So like if I have kids, I know that it's something you MAY try but I discourage it if it's politically incorrect. I kinda liked it because I was with my good friends but I'm not planning to do it again. We did that when we were in my friend's wedding. 12. What kind o' student were ye in school? Were ye the good & quiet type, the rebel, the geek... C'mon just tell us. I'm the neutral one. I'm not the coolest and not the loser. I know how to choose the right friends. Now, we are still good friends and hang out sometimes. We are cooler now than those cool kids before. 13. Have ye ever been so drunk/wasted that ye've done something embarrassing? If yes, what is it ye've done? I did. Well, a girl-friend of mine wanted to have a photo with me at the party and as soon as my friend takes the photo (no selfie camera yet that time), it was me puking. I mean, it's like half of my soul coming out of my mouth. 14. Do you have one dark secret that you wouldn't mind sharin'? If not... Boooooring. In any case ye can always pass on that one. Hmm... Everyone knows how I deal with players who do not follow the server rules. Not as dark as you would expect. 15. Who's the GM ye believe would be lookin' the best wearin' a bathing suit? Yup, ye read right. Well, I only close with Veracity so.. I'd go for Genesis.... LOL No Veracity is the sweetest ever. Veracity. :) 16. And finally!! The last question that I've been burnin' to ask. Would ye dare date a pirate (lad or lass)? Because that's obviously somethin' we've all been askin' ourselves right? Not sure. Thank you all for yer precious time and let's try to keep the GM Ares's abs talk to a minimum. Sorry for the long post here's a p... Bah screw that! What the hell is this about? lol P.S The first GM to answer will be rewarded with a bottle o' rum from my personal stash. Nah I'm lyin' I don't freely share my rum with the authorities, though I'm open to bribery or any other illegal activities that may result in an increase of my current wealth.

I know you didn't intend to advertise but I'm just saying that as much as possible, let's avoid it. :D

Hi everyone, I personally would like to thank some people that I've known in FRO. FRO is one of the greatest games I've ever played in my entire life because of how well the server was built and the people inside it. Even people whom have quit before still comes back to the game. First and foremost, I'd like to thank Genesis for giving me his 100% trust with the server including very confidential GM works that only the two of us should know. We talk almost 24/7 to finish all the developed and under development stuff for the server; all the improvements, fixes, balancing, complaints, etc. You guys just don't know how great Genesis is in real life. He's just as busy as me and some other GMs because we also have work and LIFE outside the game. Veracity is the sweetest GMs ever. Like Genesis, we talk most of the time catching up with things in life, career, and of course, our work as GMs. Dream, Bishop, Shino, and Capuccino for teaching me everything that I need to know when I was new to the GM team. I wouldn't be what I am today without your help. To my lovers out there, keep loving! To my haters, keep hating! Don't get fooled by fools who were banned because they did something stupid! Good bye for now guys. I'll just sleep and see you all again tomorrow, and the next coming days. It will be another day so I'll continue hosting events and my work with Genesis. Good night!

If I am not mistaken, it's after 2.0. WoE, BR, GvG, and other automated events are scheduled the same way but players outside the server time needs to adjust their time. Since you're GMT+8, your American WoE which used to be 08:00 in your country will be 09:00 now. I hope that clears everything.

Balancing is a different story from a broken 3rd jobs in high rate servers like FRO. We won't be doing that because it will be a big mess to the game.
