Any news about 3rd classes? :devil: *mwahaha*

But seriously, yea, i'm interested what changes the monsters get, were they too strong or too weak?

[lcronovt]

I want to know what update they made to Thanatos Tower quest. This update is the one that expanded clases 95+, can do thanatos tower quest? or I'm confusing iRO and kRO updates? o.O

kRO Patch notice is released nearly 24h in advance of the actual maintenance so players have time to prepare. As such, you got a while to wait to determine exactly how things change!

[TJM]

No RO2 patch in over 3 months(and even then last one was crappy)

:yawn:ing RO patches.Gravity is slacking.I wonder if they'll even bother showing RO2 at this year's gravity fest.

[Pa.rabola]

Keep whining and RO2 things out of this section, sir. You should be well aware of this by now.

I'd lol so bad if that was the new orc dungeon boss.

[Leviant]

that's one very HOT orc for an orc lady /sexy

[Doddler]

I did some Krieger von Midgard on kRO baphomet earlier this morning. While it looked like it was well designed, the match-making portion really needs to be updated. Pre-built teams might work well for the 20v20 battlegrounds, but I don't think it works for KVM. Basically there's two sides, red and blue. When you enter on that particular side you go to a waiting room with an NPC that has a chat up that fits 5 players. When both sides have the required number of players, they get warped to the arena to duke it out. Maybe its a bit different with the higher level ones, but already on the first day, I joined the under 60 KVM arena and one team of players were filling the opposing team with their vend merchant alts to give them free wins.

The under 60 category gave 2 points for a win, 0 points for a loss. I think this actually goes up with the higher brackets. The accessories that people were complaining about being brokenly powerful cost 3200 krieger points... most of the stuff costs 800~1600 points for the really good stuff, 200~600 for the crappy stuff, and 20~30 for the consumables.

[crash]

So are they both Demi-Human now or was the before? :? translation plz

[Ahina Reyoh]

It looks like elements got changed too. The top Naga is water, the bottom is Earth, and same for the other critter.

[kgirluvr]

she HULK!!!!!!!!!

[Doddler]

Krieger... note that there's no impressive PVP battle here, because these are the guys farming points.

[Soukosa]

So are they both Demi-Human now or was the before? :? translation plzTop roughly says "Before" and bottom roughly says "After." (Been too lazy to learn hangul so that's why I say roughly :P)

Basicly left one went Demi-human Water 1 to Brute Earth 1. Right one went Demi-human Water 2 to Brute Earth 1.

seems to be awesome

[Atum]

I guess they changed it since a)they look more like animals than demihuman and b)so you dont have to wear ~4 shields to level there.

Question:
I see a lot of water on the green maps of the new world (spl_fild02, spl_fild03)
http://ro.doddlercon.com/wiki/index.php?title=The_New_World
Are you actually able to walk on these water cells and use waterball as wizard?
I hope so :) (would be nice to have new maps with huge waterball areas)

[Soukosa]

See all of the lighter blue on the Splendide maps? That's water you can walk in. So yeah there is alot of water there for Water Balling.

Unfortunately i think those are all just hot female versions of monsters, mainly boss monsters with a few non boss as well. (judging by how all the dates have a similar page with a new monster)

you gotta change the numbers in the url... basically pick a date in the drop down menu, then change the page in the url.... or it might just be one of the links under the "rag fun" thing

edit: ya look for the link with a heart at the end

[Pa.rabola]

The drop down menu on the top of the page lets you choose what issue you want.

[bardsftw]

Oh, I see now, thanks alot!
