Exactly what Kittie said. It's enough advantage to spend some extra coupons on. If you're hardcore PvP-ers these buffs would make you... really really tough to kill.

"Super buffs" aka class-specific buffs should be removed completely as they're not meant for that class, and the class who wants to use it can... cast their own "super" buffs.

Even amongst themselves, it's just too much, better just make it realistic than worthless cause they can't take it out of the room. Give them as much as they paid for, but within fair grounds.

Let's just be realistic. In my opinion, buffs should be limited to: 1) Friendly buffs. (No Mind Breaker and Provoke.) 2) Party buffs. (Anything that if cast, goes to the whole party.) 3) Buffs that can be cast onto other players. (No player/class-specific buffs such as EDP, Maximum Overthrust, True Sight, Energy Coat, etc.) 4) No +status food buffs. In short, only general buffs that anyone can do by themselves should be cast by the NPC on you. These include: Acolyte buffs: Blessing Increase Agility Angelus (could be left out, or added in as a "risk" about using the full buffer) Priest buffs: Impositio Manus Suffragium Kyrie Eleison (or skipped in favor of Assumptio) Magnificat Gloria High Priest buffs: Assumptio (rather than Kyrie Eleison, since only either one can be cast on a player) Crusader buffs: Providence / Resistant Souls Blacksmith buffs: Adrenaline Rush (only applies for Maces/Axes) Weapon Perfection Over Thrust / Power-Thrust (For the sake of completion, but shouldn't be added is the Spirit Skill:) Full Adrenaline Rush / Advanced Adrenaline Rush Soul Linker buffs: Kaizel Kaahi Kaupe Kaite (may be skipped in favor of Assumptio, Kaite cancels Assumptio upon cast) Sniper buffs: Wind Walk Alchemist/Creator buffs: (Chemical Protection should be left out.) Input/comments are appreciated. But these are the only realistic buffs you can give yourself in normal circumstances. These buffs already give a huge advantage in PvP separately, combined together it should be enough for a "Full Buff" so to speak. We don't need every class having buffs that are class-specific.

Mastela Fruit script: { itemheal rand(400,600),0; } White Potion script: { itemheal rand(325,405),0; } That's not even a % and it's not so far from White Potion. I agree with this suggestion.

And Kittie made her point. The items that are harder to get should be better. From WoE where the % drop rate is low, from GvG where only the most populated and best guilds win, wasting a week of your life to camp PvP & WoE for ladder wings. While some of those are only better in looks, some deserve not to be outshone by something you can just get in a blink of an eye, but with a small cost. It amazes me how they release stuff that seems better but is only a level or so below the effects. It's all quite nice.

Limited time offer items DO become collectors items. RoP's price has doubled from when it was introduced. But it's not just that, also consumer demand. Like some select rucksacks. RoP never changed, what's the problem with it? Lighthalzen Aurora isn't even released, there's no reason that it's supposed to be +25 stats. And IMO it's better that a a server is open to change, even minor details, about items that will keep rewards that you earn (and not just buy off the easy way) of more value. I gotta agree with Kittie as well. EDIT: People still don't know how better Emperium Aurora is. If you're talking about looks... well it still is? Just less available colors. People complained about this as well during the time RoP was released. Time and time again Emp just is better in most cases.

If automatic decarding or the unusable item after x hours cannot be implemented, the NPC should have a warning. So no one is liable but the buyer.

forsakenserver.net is our game server. forsaken-ro.net is our forums.

Or guilds should be more diplomatic with recruitment and alliances, or just really step up their game.

^ Exactly. Plus, with how things are now... no guild ever defends their castle for a full WoE. ;)

There are some ways... 1) Move somewhere closer to the server (not very feasible for most people, I know, not for me either I get 300 ping as well.) If you're really far from the server no matter how fast your net is (refer to #2) you'll get some lag. 2) Get a higher speed internet connection, which sometimes wouldn't really help, on the fastest connection I've had it only went down from 300 to about 220 ping which is barely enough. 3) Don't hope for speed Asura / TSS spam anymore, which is what I'm doing right now. Lol. Not really the best, but nothing you can do.

Ping refers to the network latency between a player's computer and the game server. To check, go on the command prompt and type "ping forsakenserver.net". It will ping the server 4 times, and you'll get an average. The number is in milliseconds. If you have like high ping (200+) it'll be harder to spam Asura, lower ping the better. Hotkeys barely have anything to do about it, I have X = Zen, Z = Fury, X = Zen, C = Asura, V = Berry, so it's like XZXCVXZXCVXZXCVXZXCV. Good rhythm, good timing, you're fine.

What's your ping? That's the primary problem some have.

MVPs are immune to status effects, and while I'm not sure if Coma is one (sure sounds like one) MVPs and the Emperium are not in anyway affected by it.

Yeah they do... a good one out of range can just lay waste to anyone who can't reach them. cough*longrangestrip*cough pls. :( Or at least the way it was before if it ever works at a low low chance. Still don't think it does.

Sprite editing (which is illegal) is changing their sprite to one without cast delay so they can spam indefinitely. Spamming DS doesn't need it, it's fast on its own. While Clowns & Gypsies don't have obvious weaknesses you can force them to take their anti-whatever gear and make them have no choice. It is a must though, that you pay attention to your shield and have FCP. There's still a lot of ways to "counter" them, not just as easy as most other classes.

They're not fine, but a simple "give them 999% more damage" isn't the best way, and as Adum* said, a lot more of the older players want something rather than a brute force buff.

Doing a hybrid build, you shouldn't really have much HP. Use proper belts. Full Final Strike builds have decent enough HP, and you can do good damage on it. Hybrids aren't meant to have 2 good things at full power. Beelzebub only would work if you do indeed have cast time. 150 is still required whatever cast delay reductions you put, unless it totals to 100%, in which you don't have to put DEX and would have 0 cast time. Do remember that a Ninja has very good evasion techniques and at their full builds they're already pretty good. The only good suggestion that should be done is like, one handed elite weapon so they can also utilize STR builds. They're a first job which explains the low HP but with a proper item set for FS it adds up quite enough.

Thanatos has a different effect with a Monk class. Hence, being compared to a Goldenring. It's only better than it by 3%. But, I still disagree, or just even it up to 30%. Back when it said it was 28% but was really 35% it did hell alot more damage even when stacked with an FBH, even with another Thanatos card. That was too much. Now it's really 28%, it gives like 10k more damage if you're on Superiors, and only about 2-3k more if you're on full Asura gear (1 FBH). Stacking 2 Thanatos cards with an FBH card, I actually had less damage compared to only one Thanatos card slotted in. But yeah... it's a big power boost for your "normal" Asura as it is.

What Kittie said.

so ss smoker come and smokes the tainted fish tacos and it become smoked fish tacos!!!
