Upcoming Server Changes – Share Your Feedback on Proposed Updates

[nikos32]

Let’s be clear:
We’re not expecting hundreds of new or returning players because of the proposed changes listed below.
However, if even 20 players return or join, and that makes the experience better for our current community, then it’s already worth it.

Implementation Timeline:
The following changes may be applied during the next server maintenance or the one after that.

Feedback Reminder:
If you disagree with any of the proposed changes, please quote them specifically and clearly explain your reasons.
We reserve the right to modify or remove any suggestions until a final decision is made.

Proposed Changes:

• An NPC available for 3 days where you can purchase:
  • Valkyrie Pauldrons/Pads (+1) for 225m coins.
  • Valkyrie Helmets/Boots/Gauntlets (+1) for 200m coins.
• A Ring of the Felankor Draw available for 3 days, where you can spend:
  • Game coins to gamble for a random Ring of the Felankor (+0) with a low chance.
• Unlocking of armor and weapon upgrades up to (+9).
• Unlocking of accessory upgrades up to (+2).
• Upgrade beginner armor from Chitin (+7) to Valkyrie (+6) and add Wings of God.
• Replace the personal reward in Capture the Enemy Flag from Dragon’s Egg to Yellow Treasure Chest.
  Replace the Chaotic OBL that spawns upon capture with a Mini Felankor.
• Add Vice-Commandant Guards to CZ and RL bowls.
• Add Bifrost monsters to CZ and RL bowls.
• Introduce rune items, obtainable from monster kills in FT, JM, RLB, and BF event zones.
  Combining runes with Valkyrie armors will allow upgrades to:
  • Dragon Flight
  • Mythril
  • Ron
  • Trial armors
• Remove Clan War, and replace it with more JM, CR, or BF events.
• Adjustments to the event schedule to add more events on less active days like Fridays and Saturdays.
• A new crafting quest will allow you to upgrade normal weapons (+8) into exceptional weapons (+8).
• Make Ring of the Felankor (+1) reforgeable.

I like the valk npc idea, would cater to the newer players alot better than farming blood shards, I think the the biggest update you could do is reset nps. Which would flood the CZ with more pk.

[ESN]

Don't

• Add Vice-Commandant Guards to CZ and RL bowls.
• Add Bifrost monsters to CZ and RL bowls.

Adding Vice-Commandant Guards and Bifrost monsters to the Colony Zone (CZ) and Ronark Land (RL) bowls would primarily benefit a small group of Battle Priests who could farm these mobs continuously, offering no significant advantage to the broader player base. Those will also kill the value of BF and JM events.

Have doubts for the following ones:

• Unlocking of armor and weapon upgrades up to (+9).
• Unlocking of accessory upgrades up to (+2).
   

Really good ones:

• An NPC available for 3 days where you can purchase:
  • Valkyrie Pauldrons/Pads (+1) for 225m coins.
  • Valkyrie Helmets/Boots/Gauntlets (+1) for 200m coins. ( Might be even 2 days every month )
• A Ring of the Felankor Draw available for 3 days, where you can spend:
  • Game coins to gamble for a random Ring of the Felankor (+0) with a low chance. ( Might be even 2 days every month )
     
• Remove Clan War, and replace it with more JM, CR, or BF events.
   
• Replace the personal reward in Capture the Enemy Flag from Dragon’s Egg to Yellow Treasure Chest.
  Replace the Chaotic OBL that spawns upon capture with a Mini Felankor.
   

• Upgrade beginner armor from Chitin (+7) to Valkyrie (+6) and add Wings of God. ( Not sure about Wings of God, might be weak. Will it be upgradeable & nontradeable? )
   
• Introduce rune items, obtainable from monster kills in FT, JM, RLB, and BF event zones.
  Combining runes with Valkyrie armors will allow upgrades to:
  • Dragon Flight
  • Mythril
  • Ron
  • Trial armors
     
• Adjustments to the event schedule to add more events on less active days like Fridays and Saturdays. ( Monday - Wednesday Lunar War can take place. Tuesday Thursday Juraid Mountain can be added for evening time. Friday, Saturday and Sundays already busy enough with a lot of events. )

Lastly, we need active GMs who can regularly check reports, address ongoing issues, and take appropriate action. Right now, the server feels unmoderated — players are doing whatever they want without consequences. It feels like there's no real authority, and it's affecting the quality of the experience for everyone.

best change out here, that might bring some people back to the game, not liking +9 and +2 stuff that much tho, thats buff to babashopers 

Btw, are those will be rare/old valks because imho wings should be able to be upgreadable since its hard to gather bravery awards for new players

Edited April 12 by d4rki

[Pwnd]

Will these be convertable like Valk is currently to the different classes?
 

• Dragon Flight
• Mythril
• Ron
• Trial armors

+9 and +2s I think should be limited to high class items and non bdw and rof kind of rings. I'm guessing the rates will be low, but things may get to be a bit too much with things like Valk +9 and BDW/RoF +2

People will be trying to farm, +2 and +9, also removing the mini felankor egg would make a lot of sense because we've seen players get banned for getting the egg, now it'll just be down to the person who does the KS, it's in the nature of the game. Farm is the best thing that revived this server, I think this could be one of the best updates it will make

I think this will actually increase the gap between beginners and geared players.

It's also not the kind of stuff I would personally like to see on ProfessionalKO..

[Michin]

I think people need something to work for, a goal to achieve. At the same time beginners do need items to help them get going. There needs to be a balance between beginners gear and top gear. Gear to get started while items to work for. New players will want to play while current players want the top items.

 

[Timur]

No normal items should be given except for rare items. No +9 weapons and +2 accessories. Other than these, all of the suggestions are good.

[nikos32]

Added one more to the list;

• A new crafting quest will allow you to upgrade normal weapons (+8) into exceptional weapons (+8).

[krestan]

• Add Bifrost monsters to CZ and RL bowls.

• no. I would rather imagine respawning somewhere in the Colony Zone and not just in Bowl. Maybe 3-4 spots and random respawn. It would force players to move around CZ more and not just in Bowl
  I'm quite scared of the idea of deleting NP by players, but this idea has something to it.

  I suggest canceling the LP amount for the FT event. New players have no chance of getting there.. maybe, allow the minimum amount to be purchased like NP but for a value of at least 2GB.

  I suggest canceling the anti macro captcha for the Abys, Hellabyss and Eslant regions.

  This anti macro system is completely useless. Team players can get, for example, medals to improve phoenix wings in Eslant without the system throwing them out and without the risk of being killed like in CZ. 2000 medals is a fucking lot
  beginner players have no chance in CZ.

[krestan]

One more thing, and it's essential... create a system for exchanging reward merchant tokens in increments of 10 or 50.

No issues w/ the 3 day vendor for draw of ROFs 

Barely anyone has +8 Valkyrie - disagree with unlocking +9s. (coming from the only person with +8 valkyrie set) - Not opposed to this change once the initial changes go through and more +8 Valkyrie is in circulation.

Same goes for +9 weapons - barely anyone has +8 legendary weapons still. Maybe lower cost of legendary weapon tokens to 3 tokens opposed to 5 to increase amount of people trying for +8 legendary weapons first before unlocking +9s

Accessory upgrades - I like this one except for ROFs +2. BDW and below should be unlocked to +2. The gap between +1 ROF and +1 BDW is pretty wide imo. 

Replace the personal reward in Capture the Enemy Flag from Dragon’s Egg to Yellow Treasure Chest.
If I understand this correctly, no dragon eggs would be given at all? Only yellow treasure chest? I disagree if thats the case. 

I really like the idea with Rune items and its uses. (Would this allow Valkyre +8 to be transitioned into one of those armors +8? or just +1 to +1?) 

Really like the crafting quest idea to allow the transition of normal weapons into exceptional weapons +8.

I like all of the suggestions, but please add one more. Please make Runes Of Ultima tradeable between different accounts. Even if its not able to be added to merchant is fine, but at least switchable to different accounts.

Also, maybe lower the kill count for legendary weapons from 75 to 50  OR instead of 5 tokens you only need 3 tokens to craft. Same goes for Garges weapons. Instead of requiring 75. It could be lowered to 50? 

Please don't add Juraid mobs or Bifrost mobs to bowl. This will make the events not as valuable. Instead remove clan war, GM kill event etc and add more Juraid/Bifrost/BDW/FT events.

I'm unsure how I feel about adding +9/+2 weapons/access. I don't think its the right time, but maybe in the future its possible. 

Update starter items, make auto master, auto level 72.

Edited April 13 by littlegenie

[Jogobogos]

Speaking of events timelines, I can play mostly 9 to 14 AM server time. On Monday and Friday, there's CTEF, and that's good, but when there's CR Farm at this point of server, no one does that besides bots like no one does Clan War. That makes the server stale these days.  I don't know what the options are, but just from my timeline of gameplay I rarely can join JM, so I would enjoy it the most. Of course, I know the world doesn't spin around me, but please take a consideration if CR Farm at its current form is adding anything to gameplay on such an advanced server.

I have always enjoyed going to BDW, but for two or three weeks, it didn't start at all due to a lack of people. Maybe with +2 accessories, people will start farming for +2 BDW rings. It should also increase reason to gather ROC/ROLS to try to upgrade it to +2 so less bosses in BOWL will feel useless. Maybe people will start killing TK's too instead of leaving them cluttering the towns?

This won't change anything.
New players will login use valkry armor +6 with a wing of god.
Have a raptor thats weaker then a normal +8 they see they hit 300 on a 255 mp mage with customised shields and customised poision ressistances and they will log off.

beginner mage players will nova 800 while other mages nova 1.4k damage and the beginner mages log off.


The new armor probably has higher health bonus & higher defense & more ressistance then valkry.
So mages got another buff right there.

This is why we don't specifically design the game for players who are only interested in PvP. Just as some players have spent over a year farming their gear up to +7 or +8, others will also need to put in that effort - but ideally through a more enjoyable and accessible system than what we currently have.

If a few players regret quitting when they thought the server would relaunch long ago, or if recent new players want to give it a try and possibly stay a little longer than would, there's no harm in that.

What I’m asking for here, is the opinion of our current player base. If the community doesn’t want newer players to have a slightly smoother experience - helping them stay on the server longer - then that’s something we need to acknowledge.

Keep in mind, these updates aren't necessary to start playing or connecting with others. You can still team up with veteran players and work on +8 gear together. The proposed changes are just intended to help with survivability as we might transition to the next armor set.

New players always have the monthly rankings and symbols to aim for. The user rankings are simply meant to honor our loyal community.

I don't quite understand the question, are you referring to the beginner gear? then yes. I don't know why you're asking for wings to be upgradeable though, that's obviously going to be abusable.

1. Consider as kill the deaths caused by reflective damage from the phoenix wings.

 

“Reflective damage” means the damage you take is actually caused by yourself -- so essentially, you’re killing yourself. For example, if it results in +50 NPs for the kill and -50 NPs for the death, it balances out. I just don’t see why the person carrying the item with the reflective damage ability should get credit for the kill. It just makes no sense.

13 hours ago, BB_Aczino said:

3. Is better that the weapon repair warning appears when the current durability is bellow to 1000 and not 4000 cuz the loss of magic hammer is too much.

 

There's a threshold for that. It doesn’t appear when the current durability is below 1000 for all items. For now, we're sticking with the official threshold.

Another suggestion could be to allow the Ring of Magics to add elemental damage, similar to how the Ring of Courage or Ring of Life have this feature.

ROMs already provide magic power, which increases a mage’s damage. I don't think mage damage needs any boosting at the moment?

Ring of Courage has already provide STR and also Elemental Damage, and Ring of Life has already provide DEX and also elemental damage. So why Ring of Magic shouldn't?
 

It would be great if Refined Brimstones, Ebony Ingots, Silver Ingots, and Gold Ingots could be exchanged with each other. Right now, we earn a lot of Refined Brimstones but get very few Ebony Ingots, and almost no Silver or Gold Ingots. Adding an exchange system—similar to the one we have for FT, BDW, and LNS Coupons—would make it easier for us to collect the materials needed for Valkyrie armors. This change would also make all these materials more useful overall.

[elProfessor]

- Yes on the ROF and Valkyrie NPC'S I would personally add more days maybe like 5 or a week just to give it some time with the new commers

-I totally like the +9 armor and weapon but I also honestly believe that its maybe early for this as very few players even go +8's
-No mobs in bowl its obviously gonna kill the events and gonna get abused by bps
-I am ok with the Begginer Gear I think its good enough 
-replace clan war and deathmatch and maybe add something new or maybe BDW's ...SUGGESTION: Win 50 Border Defence Wars for a BDW ring ? quest only availble for two times 
-I would like to see more skills maybe unlock more master skills or 75 ones without having to change the level cap or make an event with unlocked skills maybe every Ronark Land ?
-Lower all crafting requirements at this point of the server people need to get on the pk as quick as possible thats what keeps the server alive anyway make it a bit easier for example , You need so many gbs and materials to craft phoenix wings 3 I think a bit lower would be fine for everyone or you could also introduce new wings 
-Introduce Undying Scrolls and Ibex Potions on Power Up Store thats for your benefit also 
-Add Wings of butterfly on PUS and delete Rainbow Goblin no point anymore a butterfly wing costs around 10gbs or so now so just add it on PUS with a fair amount of KC also gonna help new commers as you need a butterfly wing to craft the other ones above 
-We need active GM's I understand its hard we all got jobs and stuff but I bet you can find at least one guy that is hella active and responsible for this position to help the server around with events , help , guidance and any problem occured.

[Rejkz]

In my opinion game already has many weaknesses which in fact are not addressed in roots but new bright ideas are comming which most of them looks like prosthesis not a solution. I heared this server is not pure PK server so I was wondering why is so low valuable content to farm? But on other hand we trying to help beginers to gear up?

KO in roots had few different aspects like farming for exp, farming for items, farming for money, PK, events. But now lvl doesnt matter, farming for items mostly doesnt matter, farming for money  - only  exists with macro or/and with multiple accounts run on macro. PK and event (mostly PK) is releated with gear - so do not expect new playes to come if there is no way to compete with others. Many content of game is dead or/and obsolete. Eslant/EMC/Luff is dead, bosses in those regions drops questionable stuff. If everything is around CZ and specificly bowl - problems just arise. If the only way to gear up is by competing in bowl. So moving on my 2 cents

• Unlocking of armor and weapon upgrades up to (+9). Unlocking of accessory upgrades up to (+2). - Good direction, this will make a bit more valuable obsolete items
• Replace the personal reward in Capture the Enemy Flag from Dragon’s Egs to Yellow Treasure Chest. Replace the Chaotic OBL that spawns upon capture with a Mini  Felankor. - that ok, but it should spawn more in town center
• Add Vice-Commandant Guards to CZ and RL bowls. Add Bifrost monsters to CZ and RL bowls. - Yes, but OUTSIDE of bowl with random location to allow low geared ppl scout for them.
• An NPC available for 3 days where you can purchase Valkyrie -   can you describe it a bit more? 3days in month? 3 days after account creation? I dont get it. Just smell like smth to abuse..., not sure here

 

•  Ring of the Felankor Draw available for 3 days, where you can spend: Game coins to gamble for a random Ring of the Felankor (+0) with a low chance. - I dont like any gambling option especially with coins because it benefits macrores and those who buy gbs for $.
• Upgrade beginner armor from Chitin (+7) to Valkyrie (+6) and add Wings of God. - OK but it must be rare not upgradable, wings cannot be used to crtaft next one
• Introduce rune items, obtainable from monster kills in FT, JM, RLB, and BF event zones. - No, this means harder to farm for beginners, they need to compete with high geared players. You may tune this up to get higher drop rate in events and lower to some mobs in dead areas  like Esl/EMC/Luff.
• Remove Clan War, and replace it with more JM, CR, or BF events. - OK
• Adjustments to the event schedule to add more events on less active days like Fridays and Saturdays. - OK
• A new crafting quest will allow you to upgrade normal weapons (+8) into exceptional weapons (+8). - only for +8 or lower also?
• Make Ring of the Felankor (+1) reforgeable. - OK

Consider my suggestion

• add/update content into dead areas - it can be new ones or existing ones like blood shard, blue shards, oils
• give better conversion ration to melt down shells for silver oil, add some option to do something valubale for high level items like elixirs, impacts, etc.
• bosses outside CZ/RLB should drop silver bars (20%) and goldbars (5%), deathmare can drop GB as well with low rate
• weak bosses in CZ/RLB should drop trina, blue trina, silver bar with low rate
• ban macrorers, ban babashopers as those ruin the game - players feel cheated if there is no action towards them, players leaves, new dont come.

 

[Cene]

Yes i like this. More people will come back or at least newbies will stay
