Reuniones y entrevistas en el desarrollo del sistema Renewal.

Esta todo en inglés, si alguien tiene tiempo de traducir y quiere hacerlo que lo haga, que yo esta semana estoy algo ocupado...

Renewal/3rd Job Online Gathering #4 - 09/02/26 (Thursday)

Q. Are there any plans to allow novice players to go to level 150?

A. It would be possible, however as soon as a level 99 novice was able to level past 99, they would be unable to change to any other occupations. I'm not sure if this is acceptable to those players but we'll consider it.

-------------------------

Q. There are many carded gears in old items which are no longer very useful. Is it impossible to remove the cards from the item?

A. Presently we're looking at either adjusting existing items value, their stats, allowing card removal or perhaps some other measures. We're currently discussing it and will likely be surveying our users to determine whats the best way to approach. If we did add in a method to remove cards, it would be just temporary. You would have to pick another target for that card, you wouldn't be able to apply that card to the new system items.

-------------------------

Q. For Crusaders and Paladins, they've got many skills that don't apply weapon and elemental attack power, which hurts their leveling speed. I'm interested as to what extent Royal Guard skills will reflect this nature.

A. Royal guard will have many spear exclusive skills. There are some that will and some that won't take the weapon attribute, but we'll be trying to make the skills effective regardless of which it is.

-------------------------

Q. When renewal is added to main servers, will there be an improved tutorial like system that can easily allow new players to get into Ragnarok?

A. We are producing a series of tutorial and beginner quests based off of the renewal monster relocation and level bands. We are planning to improve the novice training grounds, and additionally add a system that indicates NPCs for quests. Because part of episode 13 is arrangement for content up to level 150, we understand that players are saying there's an insufficient ammount of low level content. Outside of the game, we intend to improve on the information provided on our web page and make it easier for new players to get involved.

-------------------------

Q. When renewal is applied, will methods for leveling low level characters such as using the mimic mercenary be impossible?

A. Even if you use a high level mercenary you'll still need to kill monsters roughly in your level range. Killing a high level monster this way won't get you much experience. This is mainly because for a low level character to kill a very high level monster using a mercenary, it doesn't make much sense for the player to get exp for that.

-------------------------

Q. Will it be possible to add the buff timer system to the main servers?

A. The system is currently tied into the renewal server. Because its specific to renewal, its impossible to apply it to main servers at this time. Because of the aim of the renewal and the limits of the existing system, we are not developing it for the existing servers.

-------------------------

Q. Its said experience rate changes with the difference between the player and monster level, but does the drop rate not change?

A. Presently on renewal the drop rates of monsters is adjusted based on the ratio of the level difference.

-------------------------

Q. This way its harder for bots to hunt specific items but gives an opportunity for new players to provide some of the demand right?

A. Originally our plan was as you say, however we've seen some issues with this. For instance, an issue that occurs is that some classes that require items for forging or manufacturing might have problems and there's no way to guarantee the stability of low-level players. This is an issue we're looking at intently, and will be included on our survey in the future.

La entrevista del dia 8 en si no la he encontrado, solo lo mas destacable:

- The intent of renewal is one of problem solving. It is directed at addressing accessability to new users and balancing of existing classes and skills.

- Because so many players are already at the existing level cap, the level cap is being extended (to 150).

- Change in attack formula that values stronger/newer weapons over low level weapons with many slots.

- Currently instant casting is destructive to game balance, which resulted in the addition of fixed casting. With equipment/items/skills, it can be possible to reduce the fixed cast portion of skills to 0.3~0.5 seconds, but there is no more instant casting.

- When partying you should always be able to get experience with those +/- 10 levels from you.

- Because of the problems with the attack speed formula, its going to be re-done. Level 99 and below characters have an aspd cap of 190, but it may be possible for level 100 and on characters to achieve up to 193 aspd.

- Sakray R's harsh experience table for 3rd jobs is just for testing, it will be changed.

- Rune Knights and Rogues will have attack speed improved.

- Monster and Level difference tables will be changed (in terms of exp/drops). Boss monsters will have their own experience and drop table based on difference in level.

- As for WoE system, they're still looking at balancing options.

- Monster AI will be updated to make monsters smarter and more interesting. Monsters will be more reactive to players, and some monsters will have unique behavior. For example, sohee is not bothered by the presence of female characters, but male characters that come too close may provoke an attack. Additionally, monsters may be able to patrol an area (or be fixed to a region), and return to their region if they wander too far.

- For ranking points, they plan on making it possible to lose (or use) ranking points, making it easier to complete for a rank.

- They are developing a system to improve questing in RO. NPCs involved in quests will appear on the minimap, and appear on screen with a green '?' or '!' mark.

Aqui una imagen del nuevo sistema de npc quest: http://forums.irowiki.org/showpost.php?p=388305&postcount=161

Y aqui 2 videos mostrando la nueva IA de los monstruos:

1º http://rojournal.doddlercon.com/mediafiles/aichange1.html

Monster patrol AI. You can see it patrols across a set path, if it leaves the path it breaks and returns.

2º http://rojournal.doddlercon.com/mediafiles/aichange2.html

This video is longer, and features a variety of features.

Part 1) Ranged monster AI. The monsters try to keep an optimal distance from the player, and at times circle around the target.

Part 2) Bomb porings are hopping down steps, and exploding at the bottom. You can climb the stairs, but don't get too close to the porings or they'll chase you down.

Part 3) Sohee patrol AI.

Part 4) Sohee aggro'ing on male characters.

esto es pro, ahora los monstruos son inteligentes, realmente destacable en el renewal xD, a pesar de que los skeleton archer se vean menos dañinos, pero actuan mas como debiese ser un archer class (o como los jinetes partos xD).

XD ke tal la sohhe tiene agro contra los hombres

entonses ahora hay mobs ke solo atackan hombres entonses el mobster ahora solo atacka mujeres D=

Por fin los archers jugaran como archers, porque se quedaban parados viendo como un LK en frenzy venia corriendo como loco... xD

Creo que porque ya todos saben que Gravity mando a la basura a las Expanded.

The first to be mplemented I think are Shadow Chaser and Wanderer & Minstrel. The developers seem to be a fan of Shadow Chaser...

Nice, justamente los que mas me interesan, Shadow Chaser y Minstrel XD

Y un escaloncito mas abajo el Sorcerer, a ver si ahora que dice que les agregan hechizos nuevos dejan de existir las builds bolter (vamos, que hacerte profe para usar skills de mage powereadas suena medio triste, hacen falta skills exclusivas de Sorcerer asi). Y que no olviden la rama battle, que es bastante interesante.

Esto es lo que puso Temo pero completo:

Q. Can you tell us a little about the 3-2 job concepts?

A. Well first off, the 3-2 jobs are Royal Guard, Shura, Sorcerer, Wanderer & Minstrel, Shadow Chaser, and Genetic.

The first to be mplemented I think are Shadow Chaser and Wanderer & Minstrel. The developers seem to be a fan of Shadow Chaser...

Royal guard has an increased defensive role. As they take damage, their anger gauge increases, which can be used in strong attacks. They'll be able to destroy traps by stepping on them so rangers should watch out. We're planning on giving the royal guard a Griphon mount.

The shadow chaser has improved graffiti skills. For example they can draw a manhole which causes other players to get stuck and unable to move. They can use a skill called Maelstrom which absorbs area of effect magic while draining SP. Its bad for warlocks, they'll need to use single target skills to counter it.

Additionally they also can use facepaint. The paint changes the ability of the player.

I'll say one thing about Shura... they'll have more spirit spheres and improved fury. They will have one skill that deals more damage based on the weight of the target. So players carrying a lot of weight should be careful ...

Wanderer's and Minstrel's songs and dances improve in ability as more people are effected. They also have skills that reduce fixed casting time.

Sorcerer as the name suggests is literally a summoner. Unlike warlock, they practice magic of 5 elements. Because sage and professor don't have much in the way of combat magic, there'll be lots of spells added. Some of these skills should still be useful compared to warlock magic.

Lastly is the Genetic, who will be able to use a new type of homunculus. Of course you can't use two at the same time. It will be similar to the falcon or wolf. There'll be new skills concerning summoning of plants. Also, Genetic will be able to create special food items, and throw items to deal damage.

We'll discuss the backstories of these classes later. .

Traduccion en curso.... Lista 

Q. Pueden decirnos un poco sobre los conceptos de los trabajos 3-2?

A. Bueno primero, los trabajos 3-2 son Royal Guard, Shura, Sorcerer, Wanderer & Ministrel, Shadow Chaser, y Genetic.

El primero en ser implementado creo que será el Shadow Chaser y Wanderer & Ministrel. Los desarrolladores parecen ser fans del Shadow Chaser...

El Royal Guard tiene un rol defensivo incrementado. Mientras reciben daño, su medidor de ira aumenta, el cual puede ser usado en ataques fuertes. Ellos podrán destruir trampas caminando sobre ellas así que los Rangers deberían cuidarse. Estamos planeando en dar al Royal Guard una montura de Grifo.

El Shadow Chaser tiene habilidades de Graffiti mejoradas. Por ejemplo ellos pueden dibujar un Manhole el cual causa a otros jugadores atorarse y que no se puedan mover. Ellos pueden usar una habilidad llamada Maelstorm la cual absorbe magia de área mientras drena SP. Es malo para los Warlocks, ellos necesitan usar habilidades de un solo objetivo para contrarrestarla.

Adicionalmente ellos pueden usar Facepaint (dibujos en la cara?). La pintura cambia la habilidad del jugador.

Diré una cosa sobre el Shura... Ellos tendrán más Spirit Spheres y una Furia mejorada. Ellos tendrán una habilidad que hace mas daño basándose en el peso del objetivo. Así que los jugadores cargando mucho peso deberán cuidarse...

Las canciones y Bailes de los Wanderer & Ministrel mejoran en habilidad mientras mas gente es afectada. Ellos también tienen habilidades que reducen el Fixed Cast Time.

Sorcerer como el nombre sugiere es literalmente un Convocador. A diferencia del Warlock, ellos practican magia de 5 elementos. Porque el Sage y Professor no tienen mucho en el camino de la magia de combate, habrá muchas magias agregadas. Algunas de esas habilidades aun serán útiles comparadas con la magia del Warlock.

Por ultimo el Genetic, quien podrá usar un nuevo tipo de Homúnculo. Por supuesto no puedes usar 2 al mismo tiempo. Será similar al Falcón o Lobo. Habrá nuevas habilidades acerca de la convocación de Plantas. También, los Genetic podrán crear Comidas especiales, y arrojar items para hacer daño.

Discutiremos las historias de esas clases mas tarde.

darki tu pocicion de battle sage desaparesera pero igual podre invocar bichejos
