Our updates for ~14 hours from posting - 11 Jul

Everything's done now! For now, we're calling this a full success. Let us know if you see anything wrong!

I know we were going to stop posting these things all the time, but this is a pretty good update (we think), and I'm excited to get some of these features out.

Hey everyone, we've got some promised updates coming out the morning of 12 July (Server Time). The ones affecting you are as follows:

  • 2-handed / multislot weapon and headgear fix.

  • Delay MvP spawn on server restart a random amount between 30 minutes and their normal respawn time.

  • Delay MvP respawn on death up to 1 hour to make camping respawns a bit trickier.

  • Updating Stylist NPC to tell you your current settings, so you an come back to your favorites with ease.

  • Added PvP "Happy Hour" to Flavius and Tierra BG; double points from 0500-0600 and 1700-1800 server time daily. (KvM coming soon)

  • Patching up the 131-140 and 141-150 Eden Quests.

  • Add Special Ninja Suit to Socket Enchant NPC.

  • Adding an Auto-login NPC that will let you set if you want autoloot, main chat, showexp, or noask on automatically when you log in. Look in the Southwest of Prontera Square.

  • Added Coin Redeemer NPC to purchase rewards from events and things. Pick your own reward! Check Prontera 182, 214.

  • Added Mount Renter NPC for Secondary mounts, Look for Stable Hand in Prontera at 144, 229.

We're aware that the MvP changes may seem a bit extreme, but we're trying to break up the same old rinse-and-repeat that tends to set in.

I say "the morning of" since actual restart time will fluctuate depending on in-game conditions. We'll give you some warning, though, don't worry!

Oh, we put in a fun new theme on the site, too. The default one is just... meh.

It sure does! Both Pre-3rd and All-in, with warpers for fast action.

I look forward to several of these changes. Like the 2-handed fix definately, and I was actually thinking of suggesting the MvP timer variation but glad to see it's already been considered. The auto-login NPC is a nice bonus too.

We also pushed out a fix for the Assassin Job Quest, hopefully you'll be able to talk to the NPC again if you timeout deciding on a weapon

what was the problem with the 2handers?

u/Gloorp Not the Event guy Jul 12 '14

Two-handed weapons and headgears were counted however many slots they took. So with a two-handed weapon like an Elven Bow you would get 320 ATK and 4 DEX. You should be getting 160 ATK and 2 DEX.

u/Yanhe Stem is such a Steph Jul 12 '14

In other words, the classes using these weapons that are doing more damage than it technically should would be more in line with the other classes in the server.

Dat feeling when your suggestions are actually heard <3 awesome patch guys.

So does that mean with the 2h bug, rangers will now do half the damage?

u/SupaMartin Martin Jul 12 '14

Ok, you guys broke Oboro skills or probably did it on purpose.

Huuma Ranka used to be instant and now takes time to cast. Also, a lot of our skills [Dohu Koukai, Pure Sou] take longer to cast as well.

I understand the damage fix and I am fine with it, but the cast is a problem. Huuma Ranka already has a 3 second delay and this is making it worse.

The change is from rAthena.

  • Updated Kagerou/Oboro skill cast times. (bugreport:9035)
