Community Concerns Update (PW & Ragnarok)

First, let me apologize for taking a long time to come up with the update to the original Community Concerns post that I did last week. I had to go through all of the comments and I needed to verify and raise valid concerns to the respective teams. Please note that I wasn’t able to get answers to all of the questions but I’ll try to do a follow-up update for the concerns I wasn’t able to address in this post. Let’s get down to business!

RAGNAROK ONLINE - RPC 2008
A few of you asked if there will be RPC 2008? The answer is YES. We’re currently finalizing the mechanics and it will be announced within the next 2 weeks. We have a huge surprise for you guys so better hold on to your seats. Babawi ang Pilipinas this year (if you get what I mean).

RAGNAROK ONLINE - REWARDS SYSTEM
We scrapped the auction system because of several bugs and it really didn’t work out for the benefit of the majority of the community. We’re currently finalizing a rewards system and it will be announced and implemented sometime Q2. This will involve all of the games being published by Level Up Games.

RAGNAROK ONLINE - HEADGEAR DESCRIPTIONS
GM Team will slowly change descriptions every week to reflect the tradbility of the items. This has already started last week and we will constantly update every maintenance until all headgears are properly described to avoid further confusion.

RAGNAROK ONLINE - SELECTIVE DUPE WIPES
This has been on-going and since we recognize that our efforts aren’t enough, we recently hired a dedicated person that will do nothing everyday but ban and wipe accounts that are guilty of exploiting the bug. I’ll talk to the team if we can come up with a hall of shame but no promises yet.

RAGNAROK ONLINE - CHARACTER DELETE
It will be removed for the duration of the RPC 2008. It will be returned after the Agit Lords.

RAGNAROK ONLINE - OCTOBER FEST CAP
Effects will be removed from the special headgear in next week’s maintenance.

RAGNAROK ONLINE - GTB CARD DISABLED
This will be enabled soon for a limited time. However, note that it will be turned off again once RPC Agit Scoring resumes.

PERFECT WORLD DELAYED PATCH
I talked with the Perfect World team about this and the main problem with the patch is the localization and the resolution of several critical bugs that were found in the testing. The good news is that most of the bugs are fixed and that the localization is going very well. I will not promise a date but I can assure everyone that the patch is coming and that a lot of new features will be activated with it. I’ll see if I can get a tentative feature list of what the update will contain and share it with everyone on a separate post.

BLOG CONTEST WINNERS
I’ll e-mail you guys my YM ID. Let’s talk offline since I don’t understand why you haven’t gotten the prizes yet. It’s been over 3 months already since I had the logistics team send the prizes via fedex.

If I missed anything, I’ll cover it in my follow-up post sometime this week. Guys, please note that I am just serving as a bridge to you and the Level Up management teams. I’ll continue to keep doing this on a regular basis as much as I can for Ragnarok and Perfect World.

For Perfect World, don’t you guys have any other concerns besides the patch? I read through the comments of the concerns post more than three times and all I found were about the delayed patch. If you have any other problems, now is a good time to raise them while I can still interface with the Perfect World team. Lastly, to all Ragna players, watch out for the announcement on RPC. It’s definitely going to good thing for the everyone.

  1. Thanks for the uber huge update list O_O


  2. ok ayus to lahat n b ng server kasali? yun mga F2P? my RWC b ulit? sana naman gawin server vs server sa PASAY kaso malabu ata wala na ata budget eh ^_^ pero mas maganda talaga pag Ganun


  3. Sir wauks can I add one more concern from Valhalla Server:

    Siege condition in Valhalla at the moment is very very bad. Last Saturday was the worst siege I have ever participated in, the lag and delay was terrible. I got disconnected 10 times as well as many of my fellow guildmates and players. We (Valhallians) also experience delay of more than 15 seconds at a time occurring throughout siege hours. Sir wauks, I hope you would also forward this concern of mine to your team. WOE is one of the reasons why we (me and my guildmates) keep playing Ragnarok. I just hope that our problem can be remedied soon. I’ve played in sieges in Odin where there were many players online but the lag and delay wasn’t that bad. I’m wondering why the lag and delay is the worst I’ve experienced when the population of Valhalla is at most approxately around 1.2-1.3k every siege.

    Good Luck po sir wauks and More power sa inyo.


  4. PATCH lang po talga ang problema sa Perfect World.. UN LANG NAMAN HINIHINGI NAMIN DI NYO PA MAIBIGAY… di naman kami nagrereklamo tunkol sa lag o kaya sa mga bugs.. un lang talga.. the patch na naipangako na darating sa december pero hanggang ngaun wala pa din.. malapit na april ohh.. malapit na rin ang cabal..


  5. wow x3 hehe. . .
    pa lvl aku ^^
    and sana pede i trade ung bapho horns and randgris helm ^^


  6. @Zai: Don’t worry man, I’ll really try my best to push for it so we can have it ASAP.
    @zelda: Thanks for the FYI. What’s your ISP?


  7. These two updates caught my eye.

    -BLOG CONTEST WINNERS
    -RAGNAROK ONLINE - REWARDS SYSTEM

    Sir Wauks, I’ll be waiting for an email from your.


  8. Sorry sa double post. Wrong spelling, nagmumukhang wrong grammar ang post ko.

    Sir Wauks, I’ll be waiting for an email from you*.


  9. sir wauks, concerns din po about pw. some players (including myself) cant connect to the game. may post din po sa perfect world forums (under imperial aid). zpdee and eastern telecom internet users are some of the isp that cant connect to perfect world. hope this can be fix as soon as possible. thanks


  10. sir wauks thanks for the updates!

    additional to zelda’s concern

    sat siege in Valhalla is very laggy (ecall, loading screen, * * * * , loading screen, save point) - dedz npo agad ung character nmin eh ndi pa nkakagalaw =’(

    ISP:GLOBE BROADBAND

    pero after nmn ng siege (after 15-20 mins) back to normal na po, kya I knew na ndi internet connection nmin ung my problem..

    so far un lang po ang problem sa valhalla server ung rest ok nmn po ^_^

    wait for your email with regards blog contest..

    tee wayyyy


  11. aasahan ko po ung new features list na yan..


  12. PLDT My DSL po ako Sir Wauks. I play at home pero yung mga tropa ko po sa shop ganoon din po ang na-experience nilang lag / delay at DC. Pati po guildmates namin sa CDO at pati narin mga taga-Manila po. Marami rin po sa mga rival guilds namin ang nagrereklamo regarding the lag. I think yung buong Valhalla naman po talaga ang nakaka-experience ng lag / delay / DC at hindi lang po kami.


  13. valkyrie update po syang pagod nmin khapon March 24, 2008 sa pagpapalevel..

    naroll back lang po dahil s problema kanina sa pront :(

    d sapat ang x3.. it should be x5.. :D

    thanks…..


  14. Patch lang talaga problema sa PW kasi sobrang delayed na. Andami ng nag quit na High level sana wag naman maubos ang pasensya ng mga natitira. Pag sa April hindi pa talaga magpatch, quit na kami ng mga tropa ko. Kung September yung launch ng PW, imagine 6 months wala pang bagong content. Buti sana kung kumpleto yung game kaso andaming untranslated quests and unimplemented quests.


  15. Thanks Wauks for the update on Community Concerns

    For the Sake of the PW Community

    Please Implement the Patch ASAP :(


  16. yea patch is the main concern for pw. There are also others who have delayed prizes from events but I think they are being processed by the gms as soon as they can. Too many events to compensate for the delayed patch results to overwhelmed gms that cannot process all of the prizes at the same time.


  17. @wauks

    baka po napagtripan ng logistics team, baka wala silang mga poring doll at nilamig yung leader nila kaya kinuha ang jacket ni shagojyo,, /heh

    w8ing for your email…


  18. Question lang tungkol sa Valhalla, magkakaroon ba ng anti-bot system ang Valhalla?

    The Mp’s hardly make a dent in the bot population. Kasi kahit na maikulong nila ang 100 bots per day, the owners of these bots simply create 200 more.

    Sana ay huwag matulad ang Valhahalla sa Valkyrie where 99% of the population are bots or botters.


  19. sir wauks thx s pg aasikaso s commercial servers, add q lng po,ung about s AVG kelan maayos?or naayos n b? tska sna po ung Maya Purple Bug a.k.a HEX paki cure n po,un lng sir, thx!


  20. RAGNAROK ONLINE - SELECTIVE DUPE WIPES
    This has been on-going and since we recognize that our efforts aren’t enough, we recently hired a dedicated person that will do nothing everyday but ban and wipe accounts that are guilty of exploiting the bug. I’ll talk to the team if we can come up with a hall of shame but no promises yet.

    TY SIR


  21. “Babawi ang Pilipinas this year” = RWC 2008

    Salamat kay Carlo at na-address na rin sa wakas ang mga issue na bumabagabag sa pRO.


  22. Thank you wauks for addressing the rewards and rpc season issues.


  23. PW-Patch lang. And yung GM team, why are they deploying these so called IMMORTALS who have no real power in game except trade and organize events? Imagine yung IMMORTAL nag papaevent tapos may katabi syang KAPANGALAN nya at wala syang ginagawa about it. We all know that immortals are players na nag apply, pwedeng sila na rin mismo yung scammer na yun kaya wala silang ginagawang action about it. Random patrols etc. etc? Oh cmon, daming pinagagagawa you cant even update the game! Sir Wauks FYI lang ha, for comparison purposes

    PW-Ph - was released 3 months earlier than the CBT of PW MALAYSIA, and YET

    PW malaysia is Patch #12, just 2 (TWO, DALAWA) patches behind CHINA the HOST COUNTRY, the DEVELOPER, china is patch 14!

    PW-Ph? -> Patch #6. 8 patches behind? LOL

    tapos ito pa, whenever a player brings up a post in the official forums about a PATCH a moderator DELETES the thread and tries not to bring it up or reply to the thread about PATCH, or DEDMA lang, parang walang nangyari. Pag may gumawa ng thread na “Bakit dinilete ang patch thread ko” pati ito buburahin, ano ba yan ginagawa nyong COVER UP? Laki na ng gastos namin dito sa PW sana AYUSIN nyo baka pROSE nanaman to!


  24. xp mode nman kuya wauks


  25. Yung drop rate! binabaan nyo masyado paayos naman sa normal!!!

    “We have a huge surprise for you guys so better hold on to your seats. Babawi ang Pilipinas this year” Tayo kaya ang mag hohost ng RWC? ^_^


  27. paki check din po yung lag/delay problems sa ragnarok on other ISP besides PLDT kc d nman po lahat pldt ang ISP na ginagamit…

    server: baldur
    ISP: bayan/skydsl
    problem: lag/delay on pvp & woe maps


  28. Sir wauks, how about the character transfer for the split account? nahihirapan na po ako loadan yung dalawa kong account T__T


  29. Sir Wauks…. dadag ko lng po un tungkol sa STONE BUCKLER[1].. d po nagana un 5% reduction sa neutral property… meh bug po ata un STONE BUCKLER[1].. TYR server here..


  30. ^
    Even the effect of Valkyrie shield in valkyrie server, parang wala cyang effect, mas maganda pa ata mag guard
    pero yugn mdef+5 meron, yung reduction lang sa proprty attacks ang mukhang wala..


  31. Thanks Po for addressing our concerns…


  32. @batista

    hindi neutral property… 5% reduction from large monster po un Stone Buck

    mali lng un description dito sa pRO…

    gumagana naman un Valk Shield ah…


  33. sana binabaan yung price sa new headgear na Red Glasses.. ang mhal for a mdef+5..


  34. [...] I already did the Community Concerns update post yesterday, I’ll just focus on the game-related updates that we have for Philippine [...]


  35. Sir Wauks,
    I just want to comment on Fuyutsuki’s reply on the patch thread. He/She mentioned that if we do want them to see them posting updates in the thread they’ll be happy to do so and we should voice out our comments in a “nice way”. 1st of all we do ask for it in a nice way BUT no GMs, MODs or Admin didn’t give any exact answers to our questions and that’s why we are pissed off! I do remember one GM even said that (maybe not exact word) “Sa China nyo kunin ang patch nde sa amin kasi publisher lang kami at kami din nghihintay” was that what you call a high quality post coming from a GM? Yes, they maybe Humans but hey, isn’t that the nature of their Job? to stand and represent LUG? We maybe too rude but let me tell you something.. this won’t happen if there’s is a regular and acceptable update regarding the Patch. If you guys give a specific date then pls. follow on your own deadline and if not please post an apology letter for letting your players hope for nothing plus as a compensation give an event that doesn’t require us to spend more and very feasible at the current situation and levels of the players. We don’t want to abandon PW or even LUG but you guys keep pushing us. Kasabay ba ng new server ang new patch? pls answer honestly sir.


  36. Hiya Chief,

    Please note the character locked headgears: deviling hat, mini propeller (hypermart), and black bunny band. This will pose as a problem for those who plan on using a neutralizer or to transcend. >.<;;; Thanks :)


  37. sir wauks ano mgging effect ng oct fest cap wawa naman mga meron nun ang mahal pa naman nun!! gaya ko meron ako nun ang mahal ng buy ko dun tapos mawawala effect… T_T


  38. BOT concern:

    sir wauks pwede po bng perma ban na dun sa mga “napatunayang” bot n nhuli ndi lng basta jail. kc nkakawala din po cla, use lng cla ng EDP and kung my guild ung bot, wait lng nla WOE tas ecall.. intant laya n cla sa jail (source:ragnaboards)

    pls invistigate this matter sir


  39. [...] I already did the Community Concerns update post yesterday, I’ll just focus on the game-related updates that we have for Philippine Ragnarok [...]


  40. [...] I already did the Community Concerns update post yesterday, I’ll just focus on the game-related updates that we have for Philippine Ragnarok [...]


  41. Sir wauks update lang po regarding the siege situation ng Valhalla last night:

    Lag and delay was still very evident throughout siege hours. Players still got disconnected. Delay was also terrible. Sometimes we couldn’t move for almost 20 seconds and at the same time hindi po pumapasok ang napipindot mong recovery potions while you are experiencing this sort of lag / delay. The next thing you’ll see is the loading screen and you’re back to your save point. I hope the siege situation will be fixed soon. Hoping to have a better siege come Saturday.


  42. Server: Valkyrie

    WoE maps always crashes during siege time. This has started happening 3 - 4 weeks ago and still there is no update on this. Plus it’s very hard to connect to the server these days, I thought you fixed this already!?

    Please fix this ASAP!


  43. Please do not activate gtb ever again.. T_T

    Poor high wizards. Poor vanilmirth dependent bio’s. Poor professors. Poor sg stalkers.

    Not to mention “kalat na kalat” ang mga GTB cards and gears..


  44. [...] Belated April Fool’s everyone! Don’t worry, I don’t have any pranks up my sleeve for this week’s update. We have some minor changes for Philippine Ragnarok Online tomorrow so this will probably be one of the quickest weekly update posts I’ve ever done. Since that’s the case, I’ll just use this post again to get your feedback on issues and concerns that you want addressed that weren’t talked about in my previous Community Concerns Update. [...]


  45. RAGNAROK ONLINE - OCTOBER FEST CAP
    Effects will be removed from the special headgear in next week’s maintenance.

    when will this be?


  46. thanks for the updates wauks… i would really appreciate it if you can email me your ym id as well thanks .
