Beery Christmas !!!

ok.
let's say you want to watch a movie. bought beer and nuts / fish. This film is very well advertised. you have opened a beer, nuts / cut fish, begin to view and ... after 5 minutes you want to shut it down, but you can not, because you really like this movie ...
did you turn off and see later when it will end or you will look and swearing?
same here, only you can't turn off, you don't want it
play and swearing, play and swearing, play and swearing, play and swearing

we will improve the log to have similar functionality as the previous log

I figured it might be something like that. Still, the update shouldn't have gone live in this state, even if the issues are rather small. Yeah, you wanted to finish it before Christmas, I know
But that many if not all players want the log to be visible together with the chat is quite predictable, you should have known beforehand. :P

Allow us to modify the GUI by ourselves, hint hint :P

Oh, and reading these forums at Christmas is NOT a good idea! Stop it! Have a pony instead.

Suggestion: :P

Add a line in the game.cfg:

snd_sound_volume = 128
snd_swap_stereo = 0


[ui]

ui_active_quest_enabled = 1
ui_bar_caption_enabled = 1
ui_close_spellbook_when_cast = 0
ui_enable_old = 0


[video_graphics]

vg_animated_textures = 1

I mean - Players should be able to choose between the two UIs by the game.cfg:
New players will see & use the new UI and the few old players who hate the new one can pick the old one :-D

I guess it's possible, and furthermore everybody will be happy.

Just a suggestion.

greez, and excuse my english.

You need the game to be playable. And it isn't, atm.



You couldn't find a better solution ? Is this a joke ?
And who cares "other" games, if us, players, start to bother other games, i guess you'll lose many of us.
RO should remain UNIQUE, if you try to do like others, RO is dead.
I see only one thing you should try to copy from others: bug fixes rate.


So, basically, you will not fix those 2 major issues... great news.


You should learn to NOT release unfinished stuff on Friday before holidays, you should read what we wrote during testing phase (sorry, but we took time for tests, in the hope it will make the release much better it is), and you should listen your old players better.

Also, do you think offering Xims bonus would make people happy when they are in-game dying from stupid fall damages without any reason ??

I don't even write about TONS of unfixed bugs.

Seriously what is your problem, it's christmas no freakin' sh** it takes time for them to fix it. Are you working right now? Guess not, you're prolly sitting on your lazy fat ass while gaming.. Just leave the game if you're so unhappy, every post of yours just makes me hate you more and more..

And please, update your changelog to reflect changes you do.

Sorry i'm very unhappy.

Please do so.. Leave and never come back.
Kthxbye!

Agreed, but isn`t it a bad timing to release an update (while you can be sure that there are bugs, it has EVER been so) so close to the days where the whole company is on holiday? This is extremely frustrating for the gamers AND for NGD.

It seems i have much less problems than you.
At least, i realised how much this release was unprofessional, unfinished, forced out before Christmas because they can't split event and new UI code, etc... Also, it seems a serious issue (unexpected fall damages randomly killing characters), is creating a lot of frustration among players atm.


If you feel it is normal, great for you, but F2P or Christmas are very bad excuses, players are playing to have fun, not to suffer from bugs and bad design.

I'm actively supporting NGD and RO since a long time now, and, as such, i'm very disappointed about choices NGD made for this release (dates, features, (lack of) tests, (lack of) communication, etc...).

As said, i'm not leaving the game, but i will not/can't play until the main issues are fixed.

Note:
i told a friend of mine to test RO during his Christmas's holidays, because i think RO is a great game and i'm used to tell it around me, but in the current state, what do you think he will think of it ??
You can explain an old player reading forums about new changes, patience, and future fixes, but not to a new player, used to others mmorpgs, knowing nothing about RO, he will just left after the 3rd bug...

To Archonaut: since you know nothing about me, better for you to stay away from any speculation, and instead take time to read forum's regulations part 1 again.

If I would give my opinion about this, once again, useless post of yours I would probably get banned for insulting and being to aggresive.. So being the bigger one, probably literally and figurally, I won't. Just let me say one thing, the day you quit RO is the day RO will be at it's peak.

if you play with a good resolution, buffs/debuffs are MILES away from the right point. even if RO has class imbalance, many bugs, lack of comunication by staff snd lag problems, we still play here. not in another mmorpg. here.
do you wanna add something nice from other games? i'm ok with it, you should take everithing enjoyful that you see arout, but copying something that make the game worse is really the worst choice you could make.

we have the internet full of games with amazing graphic, others with an amazing questing system, others with perfect pvp balance, others with a good crafting system, but the MAIN RO feature is your rvr. the medium/great scale battles and the immediacy of the fights. you log in and you can instantly go to kick someone else's ass

you should surely add the parts of the game that lack compared to other games, but at the same time your first goal should be to improve your main features: gameplay balance and immediacy of the fights.

the second spell bark kicks asses in this view, but new microscopic mana/hp bar and the buffs moved on the right corner surely didn't improve the game at all

aye, what he said

I think you should put in News panel (the one that opens on log in) changelog or highlights of it. For example, I didnt know that arrows are converted into init (found out by accident when I went to repair after a couple of fights). It could be useful for players who are not into recent changes (not following forums or website), but they only want to jump in the game and play.

Spell book could use resize option on its borders, default size looks too small (at least for me).
I also think you should've kept button that opens same as ESC key.
And I think that you should distance camera a bit from character. By default, its too close (yeah I know for editing config file, just they should consider "enhancing" default distance).

Two spellbars is a big thumb up.

What I would like is that we can change position of buff, quests and party widgets. Drag them to the part of the screen we want. For example, I didnt notice buff icons on top right at first (probably due to bigger resolution and that I used to look left).

Also, font used on names when you mouse over player doesnt look too good (subjective opinion).

For the rest, I didnt stumble on anything problematic or annoying so far, though I didnt play long. One feature that might be useful is right click on name in the chat, with option like "Ignore", "Add to buddy list" etc.

Probably most of it is already addressed by players in other threads (I didnt check) so if this doesnt fit here, please move to the proper thread.
