[Kisumizi]

permanant exp changes thats pretty cool, exp on valk =D

[Samias]

Best update ever.

[crash]

Holy shit yes.

[John]

Thought I was reading the pRO update thread for a moment there...

[Feint]

It doesn't say anything about MVP cards being discounted o_o


I hope the 1x EXP/drop rates will attract more players for Valkyrie. It would be amazing to see an official, high population server starting from zero. That hasn't happened for years so it's something RO really needed imo.

[plasticxtape]

lmao @ at the times spent trying to find an emp only to find out NOW it drops. /wrists

[Grimnoir]

Awesome, that'll improve the droprates on some of those unreasonably low rate items.

And so long exp events forever? o.o

[Blind Blade Master?]

isnt that what they said when the battle manuels came to Iro as well?

[Mallia F'tero]

I think that this is a better option then lowering Valkyrie. I think now a lot of people will be joining that server and, hopefully, breathe some new life back into iRO.

[Resplendent]

Update: Kafra shop prices lowered on premium servers. See first post for details.

I think the picture provides a nice summary of my opinion on this matter.

Also: 100KP Tokens? FUCK YES.

[uome]

its makes those .05% drop rates into .06% drop rates. however, if and when we have 2x events, these bonuses will stack nicely.

[Jayed]

No.. since the 1.25 would be replaced with 2.0, not multiplied into it.

Seconded/thirded/whatever.

that all depends in how it is coded/implemented. we wont know for sure until it happens

[Steax]

In my server at least, despite being permanently 2x, when we get a "3x" event, the 3x overrides the 2x (not 6x). So maybe it'll be the same on iRO.

Anyways - I am seriously thinking of joining your valk server!

[Rei Windrift]

Well, it seems...

Since iRO main servers are now 1.25x, it should also mean that from now on, it'll be consider as 1x since this is PERMANENT. Correct?

It also means that until sites like iWiki, Amesani, Doddler's database are updated, you'll have to manually add in the .25x yourself (Unless they've updated already, and if not, how soon.).

Otherwise, sweet.

[hyori]

are those prices on kafra shop permanent?

[Bluedreams]

Seems so.

[Nhoj]

why not stat foods?

[not fat bard]

I agree stat food boxes should be reduced to 75 points.

[v1souP0w3r^ultraX]

why not stat foods?

they are greedy

[Shadow]

Stat foods are already stupid to have in the kafra shop, +10 to any stat, for 5 hours (or 10 deaths) for only $1.00? It was an awful idea from the start.

I'm not saying I don't use them or wouldn't mind the price being lowered, but it'd be a stupid idea if they're trying to re-balance RO.

This is correct, if there's an exp event, the 1x or 1.25x is replaced by 2x or 1.5x, not stacked onto it.

[fenryl]

2 files just got added.. any idea wuts in there?

[Resplendent]

Loading screens.

[Norb]

still feels like 0.75x on valkyrie, porings don't give any job exp.
or is it just me?

[Yugioh]

porings never gave job exp for like over 4 updates ago

[Bato]

Actually it gives 1 job exp.

[Samias]

Porings actually give 0 job exp no matter which iRO server you play. I think this was to slow botters down from classing up, but it didn't really work.

But didnt they change the values in the database (monster exp), and not the actual server exp rate? (which could be a configuration file, or another value in the db). If so, then the 125% WILL stack with the exp rate announced for whatever celebration.

Pretty sure they changed the exp rate and not the database. The former is far easier then the latter.

I know changing the exp rate is far easier, which is why them changing the DB stuck out in my head. Paging Locke, I think Heim was the one that said it, right?

[Cute Wittle Corgi]

nevermind I'm gay

Hiemdallr said that they were updating the exp database to reflect the 1.25 values but he would check to make sure so then that would mean Bm's and bubble gum wouldn't take over the 1.25 rates and would stack

[Batman]

ahh, I gathered different when you told me. Looking at the convo, Heim said that "the actual exp is going to be updated", so probably in the near future
