wounder what storm gust simplifed looks like and how good the xp from those quest 1-12

[soldit]

You've been seeing SG simplified since last Saturday woe. all it is is less fog, less clouds, less snow, less demon!

[Realus]

Seal Status Bulletin Board is placed in NW Prontera

o.o Oh nifty

[Pa.rabola]

Age check?

[Resplendent]

i.e. level check so trial bots can't do it.

[Treken]

Double drop. Haven't had one of those in a while. :D

[Cherrie]

makes it more of a variable to do what you want now rather then just Number Guessing i guess. Good addition of 2x Drops with Exp

[Talin]

Seal Status Bulletin Board is placed in NW Prontera

Finally? Don't suppose I have to keep the Seals Status thread updated anymore. =P

[Lupus]

Honestly, keeping it updated is really nice so it'd be cool if you did, and if you didn't want to keel it updated anymore, I'm sure people will continue to update the thread anyways. :)

[Bluedreams]

Well you can use it to keep the thread even more up to date now. ;)

^ char specific seal status is an awesome idea... but i could swear that char has already done 1st and 3rd

edit: for char specific status, its giving all my chars the same thing, so i'll venture a guess that its broken

[Jayed]

I've only been asking for simplified SG for like two and a half years. But honestly, too little too late. I ended up getting a more powerful computer so SG wouldn't lag me in WoE. :(

[Nivawk]

Wow I thought they were actually going to fix the storm gust bug but they got lazy and just simplified the Storm Gust effect. /shy

[Batman]

I like the idea of the RPS. So now you dont have to win 4 out of 5. A win is 2 tickets, a tie is 1. You have a 1/3 shot of getting 2 tickets, 1/3 getting 1, and 1/3 getting 0. Decent.

but I am mad at myself for already turning in items, as I'm sure many are. I turned in like 500 harpy feathers the other day, missed out on 1/2 the shit.

[Talin]

Alright, I'll keep the Seals Status thread updated. In fact, just did a few minutes ago after I checked on the sign posts in Loki, Chaos, and Iris. Iris was the only one that was off.

[soldit]

Wow I thought they were actually going to fix the storm gust bug but they got lazy and just simplified the Storm Gust effect. /shy

What? The fix was for a minieffect for stormgust.. nothing lazy about it

[Nivawk]

What? The fix was for a minieffect for stormgust.. nothing lazy about itYeah I don't want a minieffect. The real deal was way better.

[Pa.rabola]

It's just for WoE. They're trying to be helpful, you know.

[Mint]

Being able to see stuff isn't a bad thing afaik.

[frapps]

those new quest npcs look exciting anyone checked them out? hoping theyre like repeatable grind quests

Not quite. There's still 5 games in a "set", it just compares how many wins you have in relation to him after all 5: for every win you have more than he does, you get 2 tickets; if there's a tie after all 5, you get 1.

[Biochemist-ness]

They're npcs that give exp/item reward in exchange for loot from the map they're on.

guide in progress here:

[Nibbles]

The quests, currently, are repeatable, meaning you can take a character up to about level 85 without hunting a thing with it.

How long this remains the case is anyone's guess. RO LOVES to F itself over by taking a good thing and pissing on it.

[Danny]

At least it's a start.

[Biochemist-ness]

Hunting the items in question usually involves hunting on that map. I dont actually see anything wrong with their being repeatable. (if they weren't, that kind of kills the point of getting these maps to be more used).

Perhaps a 20~30 min timer before repeating might prevent farming.

[Nivawk]

Being able to see stuff isn't a bad thing afaik.
I like seeing Storm Gusts, so I won't walk right into them. Now if it's like any other mini effect you'll barely be able to see a few snow flakes and some high wizard will ninja-SG your whole guild and they won't know what hit them, especially on a light-colored floor like Luina.

[Resplendent]

Confirmed by Heimdallr that each new quest is supposed to be repeatable. You can now "level" any character from Base Level 2-85 using only the quests.

[Gaby]

sign say that I've done seal 2 only but I've did all 4 something wrong :/

Not positive but hasn't /mineffect ALWAYS been on during WoE? Nothing has changed iirc there was just a bug with something that changed during the last maint that messed up the effect, so they had to cancel the WoE to fix it.

[Resplendent]

/mineffect is on by default in WoE. Always has been. ^ that's pretty much right.

[Nivawk]

Ok I misread it then, it sounded like they changed something in how SG looked in WoE from before.

[soldit]

... they did change how SG looks under /mineffect,

You've been seeing SG simplified since last Saturday woe. all it is is less fog, less clouds, less snow, less demon!

It's not a few snow flakes, and not as drastic as some of the other changes in effect, but it is noticablely different from regular SG without /mineffect on.

[Nibbles]

Now they just need to simplify LoV and MS.....

[Nivawk]

So when did they change it? I don't recall any maintenence on Friday. What time was it at?

[Biochemist-ness]

The SG issue was client side only, so they dont need a maintenance... They threw a patch up on the patch server sometime friday

[Nivawk]

Aight thanks.

[Bluedreams]

I rather like the new SG effect, and wish it was like that all the time...
