Philippine Ragnarok Online Weekly Update (1/30/08)

So what’s up for this week? Well, a lot. Since this weekend, the programmers have been working on optimizing the Valkyrie servers. Based on the feedback, there was little improvement and they’re actually scheduled to fly back to Korea again on Thursday. In the words of our Chief Operating Office - “That’s not acceptable.” It looks like we will be keeping them hostage here until they fix it, LOL. Anyway, we have several new additions in the item mall for both F2P and P2P servers.

New Loading Screen to Promote Bapho Horns and Randgris Helm

NEW HEADGEAR - GENTLEMAN’S PIPE & DIADEM
The Gentlemen’s Pipe will be available across all servers after the regular scheduled maintenance. After hearing your feedback about the item, we’ve decided to price it at 200 PHP (4,000 Rok Points). That’s actually a very good price seeing as it has functional benefits and it’s animated as well. Please also note that we will be adding the Diadem in the HyperMart of the other servers as well. Here are the item stats:

Gentleman’s Pipe
- A long, smoking pipe used by gentlemen and nobility.
- Reduce damage from Demi-human monsters by 2%.
- Lower Slot
- Available to all Job Classes
- Animated

DIADEM
- +1 INT, +3% MATK, Reduce Casting Time 3%
- Upper and Middle Headgear Slot
- SLOTTED
- Available to all Job Classes
- 2 Defense Rating

TOP-UP PROMO EXTENDED
I’m also happy to announce that the top-up promo is extended until February 6, 2008! You can get free items by converting 350 MY LU Credits into Game Time or Rok Points. Here’s a link to the official announcement on the Ragnarok Website.

NEW BOSS CARD IN VALKYRIE/VALHALLA
The Baphomet Card gets phased out and we’re now including a new boss card. I can’t give out any details yet since the Ragnarok Team is still confirming this with Gravity. I can give a clue though - it would be nice to put in the Diadem. Once we confirm and post it on the Ragnarok site, I’ll edit this post accordingly.

FIRECRACKERS
We’re also adding Fire Crackers in the item mall but I don’t have screenshots or descriptions yet so I won’t be able to post it here. I’ll get confirmation first with the Ragnarok Team and I’ll just edit this post afterwards. From what I heard though, they will just cost 1 Rok Point each and they are like premium emoticons. It’s ideal for people who just want to impress their guildmates and friends in-game.

COMMUNITY CONCERNS
(From Last Week)

Valkyrie Connectivity - Gravity Engineers are currently in Manila working on the problem.
Valhalla Rachel Sanctuary - Escalated already to Gravity, hopefully to be fixed within 2 weeks. Classified as a bug.
Dupe Bug - Selective Wipes on-going, primarily targeting Baldur, Tyr, and Freya

UPDATE
Here’s the link to the post on the Dark Illusion Card and Firecrackers.

  6. Good call on the Diadem being available for other servers. I’ve been wanting one <3

    Any news on the name change issue wauks?


  7. ouch..still no exp mod..it’s been more than a month na..i was planning to load up this week sana..tgal n dn kc d ngamit mga char q..hehe..nwei nice price on the gentelman’s pipe..though i doubt i’ll be buying one of those soon..magload nga ng 100 hirap n ..mag item mall pa..hehe..


  8. WHAT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM?????

    Titan / Minorus Card Problem:
    http://ragnaboards.levelupgames.ph/index.php?showtopic=75914

    still no replies from the tickets filed, and we havent heard anything from anyone since last week. arent u even gonna address this or unluckily u werent still informed?.. one RB mod told us that she’s gonna inform you and the “others” about this bug.. so.. any news? update? fix? or even a simple “i dont know”??

    “Hello guys. Thanks for the screenies. Ill forward it to my LU managers once I get the other reports from the other mods.
    File a CS ticket as well. Im sure Waukeen and GM Cassiel are also informed”
    - quoted from Nirvelli Sakray in RB


  9. sir dont forget during siege time

    1. lag issue
    2. disconnection
    3. guild bug

    thnx and good day


  10. Sounds like a mistress card to me. >_<


  11. Some comments:

    - Wow. If the Jjampong people can’t fix the charcoal-powered Bugkyrie server, who can?

    - 300 Topup? Parang alaganin ata yung number. You must mean 350 Topup.

    - Good pricing for the pipe. Not too expensive, but not too cheap.

    . - Seeing that Dark Snake Lord card was already released, yeah I feel it’s the MIssy Card too. I know I wouldn’t slot Orc Hero Card in a Diadem for sure. Too bad no one can access the server though to actually buy it, much less use it.


  12. Nice. Gentleman’s Pipe, oh yeah! Can’t wait for the New Boss Card. I’m guessing it’s either Mistress or Orc Hero. Yummy! Hehe.

    Thanks sa updates sir wauks.


  13. Good morning . .

    Ang mura . .


  14. Yung bot problem sa Valhalla? Ano na balita doon? Hmm…


  15. thats got to be the mistress card for xure..if its not then i HAVE NO IDEA hahahaaha :p

    hmmm, dont forget the other problems/bugs/issues in the commercial realm (most esp. baldur which i’ve been hearing nasty bugs and major-big-time glitches X_X)

    hmm, maybe we can hold the engineers from korea for ….ahm…….1 month??? hahahahhahahaha! :))

    bdw, one tip: u can ask the engineers if they can test-run all the servers before bringing them up later on to ensure that servers will be 130% perfect for service. and oh yeah: compensation afterwards pls!! hahahhah :p (desperate)

    ahm last thing: change name? any news? :)


  16. Yung matinding lag at DC pag siege time sa Valhalla, sana maayos din.

    As for the Koreans, wag nyo papayagang umalis hangga’t di naayos mga servers, ikulong na (wahahahaha!!!)


  17. hmmmm…. tradable po ba ung gentleman’s pipe?


  18. wow cool ang mura nung gentlemans pipe mmya pa lang bibili na ako eheheh


  19. hula ko phreeoni card yan wooooooooootttt!!!

    I got an idea what mvp card would be best to add to the Diadem

    This are the options of the possible MVP they will add.
    1)Bringing back Dark Snake Lord Card since someone wants it back for the Diadem[1]
    2)Mistress Card
    3)Archangeling Card

    99% sure that it won’t be added
    4)Orc Hero Card is most unlikely to be added…. if it happens midgard economy will be in Jeopardy.


  32. Tao Gunka sana boss card gg


  33. ask lang pano po yung Moonlight Ring bug po ata 3% nakalagay pero 1 lang dagdag sa aspd


  34. off topic post sir wauks… kelan po kaya maiimplement ang GTB? kasi tagal pa nman ang Agit Lords.. tpos d pa siya implemented… wla lang.. nkatunganga lng kasi sya sa kafra… kwawa nman hehe…


  35. ako hula ako, Dark Illusion Card ang ilalabas na bagong (mini) boss card :D


  36. Like what Kiri said…grabe ang lag, disconnection problems, guild lag as in ung guild chat tagal pumasok, then pag EC nagkakatamaan kami ng SG and we are in the same guild, whats happening sa commercial servers? bigyan rin sana kami ng attention sa commercial servers. WOE n lang kami nagkakasayahan ganun pa nanyayari… Buti p ung valkyrie gamit ung server n pang RO2.


  37. dapat natratrade lhat ng galing sa hyperamrt like buff foods ETC!


  38. di kaya dark illusion card yan ilalagay sa diadem??


  39. Namamahalan ako sa Gentleman’s Pipe. T.T Sorry kuripot. LOL.
    Oh, and yes, the bugs in Baldur. Two consecutive sieges nang nawawala yung guild, PM and guild chat delay. Nakakatamad tuloy mag-siege. o.O Fix the probs please. Sana ‘di na ganun bukas.


  40. Nice nice. Daming bago sa RO.


  41. Wauks, wala ka bang search dito sa website mo?


  42. amf yan, 190PHP lang ngayon ang nasa MyLU ko. ang hirap mag hanap ng 10PHP load wah


  43. waaaaaaaaaa….. mahal pero ok lang :D

    ano card kaya un??? /hmm


  44. I don’t think it will be the mistress card…

    Grabe ang seiges pag nagkagnun kasi yung mga sanc priest magiging mga trigger happy… Ang hirap basagin ng mga emp nun if ever…


  45. Sir wauks, ung moonlight ring’s aspd bonus issue po? And x2 p rn po b sa valkyrie? Lastly, my defense rate po b ang gentleman’s pipe or effect lng tlg cya?

    Hmm, about the boss card… I have a feeling that it’s gonna be mistress card. Hehe


  46. Sir Wauks, yung baphomet horns po ba, permanent na ba yun na 500 php? kasi di ba inannounce nyo dati na introductory price lang yung 500 php at for 2 weeks sya… So Permanent na ba sya na 500?


  47. Guys, wait lang I need to focus on one particular problem. According to the Gravity Programmers, okay na daw si Valkyrie in terms of connectivity and guild/party bug. Please monitor as you play in the coming days. If something goes wrong, you have the right to OT and post an update.


  48. @Patatas X :: hmmm, good point there..but what do you think the boss card is?

    @Salleh :: dark illusion card? hmmm, pwd rin unless it was specific na MVP boss ang lalabasin nla hehehehe :P


  49. sorry for the 2x post..bigla nag update ang msg whyl i was typing the first X_x chuuuri X_X

    @Wauks :: what exactly happnd to valkyrie? may screenies b nakuha habang der working on the prob.? hehehehe :p (sorry if this is asking a lil’ too much) :P


  50. same problem pa rin valky

    delayed guild, chat at party

    pag 3k lang ung tao walang problema pag umabot na 5k-6k nag kakaproblema na pansin ko lang….

    Pa O.T.

  51. delay p rin valkyrie… pero nka konek ako agad…. as usual lagi may isang sira.,. haha

    @Wauks the problem that I encountered before (October 22,2007-Ocober 31,2007 and you are to make a sorrtie about it and solve the problem at once though it took 8 days) have occured again. Whenever I connect my account in Valhalla up to character select screen only and always get disconnected before even proceeding with the game. Hope you can make a sortie out of it ASAP when you have a free time don’t tell me it would take another week again before the problem gets resolved. Then when I tried using my account even I have no gametime in some p2p server even I don’t have any characters there. This message poppes out “Your account is already connected to another account server”. Do I need to file another ticket again to solve this problem? Well I’ll start creating tickets again starting today. I’ll just send the details later.

    OT:
    In case you would ask my new filed ticket it’s QTU88.
    Hope I could play WoE this coming saturday since today it isn’t possible unless it would be resolved at once. Thank you Wauks.

    @Wauks

    Sorry for the OT but for some reason the problem gots resolved on it’s own. I apologize for my recent post about my account connectivity issue. I just got hyped and try fixing the problem on my own.


  56. firecrackers?? hmm


  57. Please, remove the bot programs on all servers before sending your Korean programmers back home. As much as I hate to admit it, even if you guys did manage to remove it ( or not which is a likely possibility ) the game itself is already unbalanced. Lets say people who want to bot their characters cannot do it anymore.
    (hooray !! for LU )…..BUT, the damage is already done. Botters now have strong characters, a large gain on guild EXPs (taxers as you would call them), a stock load of rare valuable items and an insanely large amount of zennies. Now maybe I’m being over sarcastic here, but ……where is the fairness in game play ??

    Oh that’s right, you’re working on it …..then my question and hopefully everyones question would be…..

    when can we expect results ?? ……… and not empty promises.


  58. waaaa!!! 350 lod lng ang my makukhang hedgir??? pano po yan 500 lod ang ittuf ko??? answer plz kht cno po! tnx


  59. sabi na dark illussion card kahit technically nde xa boss card, miniboss card pede pa cguro tawag..

    kasi Diadem is reduce casting na slotted ang yung DI card is reduce din…


  60. @alanski: load it in 350 then 50, then 100 for rok points, just break it down. Hehe. You’ll still get the same stuff, if it’s Rok Points.


  61. OT:

    Sir Wauks di parin dumadating samin ung jacket na napanalunan ko.


  62. OT… boring commercial servers… msya cguro if meron events na GM naghahandle.. meron sa private servers yung poring ball b un? prng soccer.. msya cguro if meron nun sa pRO..


  63. OT:
    1. ako din la pa price(poring doll) ko,, tan***ang fedex yan
    2. font size po nakalimutan na
    3. pano maglagay ng emotions?_? /?


  64. sir wauks kya ba nilagay yung firecrackers pra maubos yung mga baryang rok points…
    maganda “yung i love you” na firecracker
    sna yung microphone implement nyo na


  65. Ugh, Moonlight ring still gives +1 to aspd

    At least, valkyrie looks like it’s fixed, all hail the koreans!


  66. BRING UP KO LANG.. BAKIT HINDI PWEDE I TRADE OR I VEND YUNG GENTLEMAN’S PIPE “BOX” WALA NAMANG SINABI NA DI PWEDE I TRADE YUN AH! IS THAT A BUG ON THE BOX..? oo nabasa ko na kapag binuksan mo na yung box hindi na siya pwede i trade or i vend.. sa kafra lang… (aka account lock) edi kapag nasa box pa siya pwede mo pa siya i trade… bakit ngayon di ko siya pwede i trade kung nasa box pa siya? yung diadem na trade ko naman.. bakit ito hinde.. di hamak naman na mas mahal yung diadem dito… swt paki linaw naman po anyone.. may announcement ba na BAWAL I-TRADE ANG GENTLEMAN’S PIPE “BOX”?? thanks!


  67. @Doppelganger: asa pa tau dyan! di naman nila talaga kaya ayusin yan.. ayaw lang nila sabihin na di nila kaya!


  68. yeheyy 200 ang sigarilyo… yep wauks irght price na…. 2% of 30k EF wohooo 600…. pag ma popoo at gr ka… ok na…. pls post po ano itsura ng bubbles? thanks

  69. i mean ano itsura ng bubbles habang nagalaw?


  70. aayusin nyo pa ba siege sa baldur? ng maintenance na sira parin


  71. sir wauks, magulo pa rin po siege sa baldur. may bugs pa rin po ung guilds.


  72. mr waukster, hindi ko po alam kung bakit selective din po yung mga reklamo na nirereplyan nyo.

    particularly yung sa siege bug sa baldur. nawawala yung guild, delayed PMs, nawawalang friend’s list, delayed mail.

    tuwing siege na lang. utang na loob. replyan nyo sana yung post ko na ito kasi napapansin ko lang, maraming reklamo dito sa bug pero kahit saan kami pumunta walang response kahit isa man lang.
    walang response from cust service
    walang response from RB
    walang response from you

    parang awa nyo na po.


  73. pansin ko lng.. bkt wala pa rin ung EMBLEMS sa mga FLAGS… 2yrs n ata un a?


  74. sira nananamn valkyrie.. nag babayad kami.. wag naman kayo ganyan grabe na gastos ko d2 sa valk..


  75. OT bulok siege na nmn sa baldur kagabi,i think sa ibang commercial servers din.. before siege, ok ok pa nakakapagusap pa sa pm ang guild cht nang maayos, nung nag start na, ayun! boom! delay na.. saka ung guild bug pa rin, biglang mawawalan ka nng guild, ano ba yan? nilipat ba ung mga problem na yan from valkyrie server papunta samin.. /swt

    Comment/Reply nmn po about dito, ang dami nang nag popost, para nmn indi nmin isipin na ini ignore nio ung problem namin.. salamat


  76. BALDUR BUGGED SIEGE:

    E-Call Then Lands on Geff or Pront(Not in Save Point)
    E-Call Then No Guild, Able to Attack Guildmates
    Super Lag
    Recon then shows no guild


  77. In fairness, since nung isang araw pa ay bumilis ang pag log-in ko sa Valkyrie server. Unlike dati na ten years bago maka OL, napudpod na daliri ko kakatype ng password… Tuloy lang ang magandang serbisyo pls. para maligayahan ang lahat! lol

    ^__^


  78. HOW ABOUT URDR??? puro na lang Valkyrie ….. panu naman ang server namin? Sabi samin by Feb daw me ggwin na ang LU bout this …. baka Feb 2009 pa ata yun
