Gaming: Ragnarok Weekly Bug Update (7.8.07)
As promised, I’ll be doing a weekly bug update. This is in order to promote some more transparency, as well as to let you guys know that we’re doing something about them. One of the misconceptions is that we ignore and shrug off minor bugs but the truth is we really try everything humanly possible to speed up the fix. Anyway, the bugs I list down here are sent to me by the Ragnarok Game Management team, which is headed by GM Homura along with GM Rafael, Anael, and Jibrielle. If there are any bugs that you know that are not listed here, kindly leave a comment with the bug details.
Before I list the bugs, I just want to share with everyone the process for bug fixing. First, let me clarify the roles of Level-up Games and Gravity. Level-up is the game publisher which means that Level-up handles marketing, distribution, and localization of the product. Gravity, on the other hand, is the developer. As the developer, Gravity is the only one who can apply changes to the actual client - this includes in-game features and bug/exploit fixes. Upon discovery of in-game related problems like bugs and exploits, Level-up needs to escalate them to Gravity for them to fix the issue.
Dupe Bug
Description: Players can duplicate items when the servers go down.
Status: Escalated to Gravity. Implemented security measures which will prevent duping if the server down is scheduled. We already have the dupe wipe script and we will use it as much as we can until Gravity gives us the final patch fix. GM/CS Team currently compensating players who were affected by the wipe with the zenny/item that they used to trade for the wiped dupe item.
* In relation to the dupe bug, we removed the Hugel Monster Race to prevent abuse of the medal system.
Rebirth Bug
Description: High 1st Job Class characters cannot change into Transcendent jobs. The Book of Ymir does not teleport them to Valkyrie Hall. The bug has only affected several players from servers that experienced major rollbacks.
Status: Bug confirmed and tested. Escalated already to Gravity and waiting for patch fix.
Note: As a temporary solution, players can file a ticket and the GMs can manually transcend their characters via the GM Tool. The problem is that this may take some time to resolve due to the ticket backlog created by the dupe wipe compensation.
Gunslinger Bullet Bug
Description: Gunslinger bullets are sometimes replaced randomly while changing maps.
Status: Escalated already to Gravity. We advise Gunslingers to check their bullets each time they change maps until this is fixed.
Neuralizer Bug
Description: When double clicked, the item does not reset the skill points of the player.
Status: Escalated already to Gravity. Removed from the Item Mall until it’s fixed.
Mail System Bug
Description: There are some instances when the items/zenny being sent in the mail are lost.
Status: Escalated to Gravity - removed from in-game to prevent further occurances of lost items. Fixed in other countries through the Rachel patch. We’ve already asked Gravity to implement the fix as early as now.
There are some more bugs listed that were sent to me but I still have to confirm their status so I’m not posting them here yet. I’ll try to get some more information Monday and I’ll just post another update. This includes the Watery Evasion Bug, Ninja Shadow Leap Bug, and the First Wind Skill Bug.

Just wanted to ask…
Does Gravity have full control of the game content? Does this mean also, that Level Up can’t request customized items/ patches specific only to pRO? Or is it a case of LUG requesting to Gravity, and Gravity implementing them? Does Gravity have a say if this item would be implemented, or not?
:)
July 8th, 2007 at 3:07 am
@Vanilla Sky
Level-up can request for in-game content but ultimately it’s up to Gravity. Good examples of LU approved events and items would be:
Pagdayaw In-game Event (w/Headgear)
People Power In-game Event (Yellow Bandana)
The Infamous Donita and Ligaya (Wala pa ako niyan ha XD)
We have two in-game events coming up that were requested by Level-up, so watch out for those.

How about the bug of deal hack? I’ve heard of this many times already wherein certain players deal another character and the trade cannot be canceled. I encountered this the other day, but the good thing was I did not deal anything, still I could not remove the trade window until I reconnected. If this does not get resolved soon, this will be another bug that certain players can exploit and take advantage of.
July 8th, 2007 at 9:40 pm
@joel cnasbi ko lng kc nde ako bobo at tanga n hindi alam kung paano mag no cast! ahahhahaha d 2lad ng iba jan /e10
July 8th, 2007 at 10:25 pm
is it safe to buy items now? o hindi pa din ba? any advise from the higher management?
July 8th, 2007 at 10:38 pm
@wauks
mejo maiiwasan/mababawasan ata ang chance ng pagdupe kapag kinikick muna lahat ng player bago i-down ang server. /ok
July 8th, 2007 at 11:41 pm
homunculus bug
- kapag nakatapak yung homunculus sa water evasion ng ninja, nagiging perma ung effect.
- meron din reports na nag-iiba yung sprite ng homunculus like red mushrooms.
guild bug
- meron kami naranasan dati, pinagki-kick nya mga members namin sa guild at tinanggal pa yung alliance… samantalang wala naman expeller yung guild position na yun, at biglang nagkaroon.
amistr castling bug
- nagha-hide yung owner + castling = sprite bug and no delay AB(parang nakabragis)
minor bugs:
- kapagkina-usap mo yung NPC sabay naglakad ka = DC.
- deal hack bug(check na lang yung info sa RB)
- ma-LAG kapag katabi mo yung GM mo na merong guild skills na great leadership, wounds of glory, etc., especilly kung nagka-kafra ka.

Is there any news or fix for the current force deal bug? Just want to add it to the list. Thanks
July 9th, 2007 at 12:33 am
alam kaya nila ang ibig sabihin ng “escalate”?
curious lang ako… kasi feel ko parati na lang LUG ang inaaway eh… eh kasalanan naman talaga ng Gravity.. /gg
July 9th, 2007 at 12:56 am
There are other bugs too. In addition to what rico posted, there’s the Chase Walk uninterruptible Ecall Bug.
July 9th, 2007 at 2:10 am

July 9th, 2007 at 6:42 am
@dave

ive got it. ULTIMATE def na to =) pero ako so far. SEMI no cast. my SG10 is clocked at .45 seconds *official* kulang na lang bragi. delikado pa rin ako sa pvp kasi tagal ng AFTERdelay =(
hahhaa oo pag nasa emp yung character ko at katabi ko gm may effect sakin, kaso STR skill ang nilagyan niya eh ~ hindi prioritized mashado ang magic T_T

July 9th, 2007 at 5:11 pm
WELL ACTUALLY PDENG LUMAGPAS ng 152 yan eh..
OOPS! TOO MUCH INFORMATION. DELETE DELETE! hehehehehe =P
July 9th, 2007 at 10:50 pm
“guild bug - meron kami naranasan dati, pinagki-kick nya mga members namin sa guild at tinanggal pa yung alliance… samantalang wala naman expeller yung guild position na yun, at biglang nagkaroon.”
>>>From what I’ve heard, 3rd party program daw yan. A guildmember can get guildmaster access (expel members, set alliances, etc.). Buti na lang disable break guild. Baka pwede rin sana yun. Kaya ingat lang kayo sa pag-invite ng members.
July 9th, 2007 at 11:09 pm
@hennie, oo totoo ung guild bug na un. nangyari na sa amin un dati. nibreak guild bigla =(
its good na ngayong during rpc suspended ang breakguild function =)
