Woot Performers

Disclaimer: I am not a woot advocate. It so happen that I’m captivated with the woot’s performance

One night I was busy finding good locations for my Shadow Chaser Scribbles. I accidentally bump into a group of dancers lined up with the same headgear. My initial impression is they are woots! With their gestures and movements it can’t be denied that they are woots.

Player Feedback

I think I was able to promote my legitimate site in-game with ease now. There are more fansite viewers entering my pub now compared to scam-site haters. I'm very happy that my site helped you my readers in any way with your Ragnarok experience.

Also, my usual spot in Alberta has been taken over by vendors. Now Alberta is slowly being converted into a market and that is so sad for us. I have decided to promote my site on our tambayan at "Alberta Hagdan". It is still visible for players doing the Daily Quests. I've been working hard and utilize most of my characters in promoting my site but I rarely used my genetic name Rich Kid Herbert because he has AFM and job manual ON for the daily quest. So you'll probably see me using my Soul Linker named Soul Kid Herbert and my other genetic named Cool Kid Herbert.

Selected player feed back posted after the break. Thanks to all who dropped by on my pub!

Skill Reset with Neuralizer

Overview:
Allocation of skill points on Ragnarok Online is very strict. All job classes has a lot of available skills but we can only choose a few of them. A mistake in allocation of skill points might prevent your character from getting some of the essential skills for your job. However they have provided an item to reset your skills called Neuralizer

Resetting my Skills for Renewal!

Patch Notes: November 24, 2010

The patch notes are late this time but its ok because it contains a lot of juicy events lined up. The Friendship Cup 2010 is still on going and guild sieges are heating up. I had my first official renewal siege last saturday and I'm much surprised with the changes in WoE skirmishes and guild clashes. I must say that the event makes WoE more intense.

Midgard Crowd Control goes to Clock Towers for the second time. The target this time would be the High Orcs at the base level of Clock Towers. They had chosen another Old School Map which is very welcome for non-transcendent, transcendent and third job adventurers. We know that the experience points here is crap for 3rd jobs but the Mercenary Badges and Yggdrasil Berry rewards will surely attract a lot of adventurers to participate in controlling the population of High Orcs. This event "might" lower the current inflated price of Yggdrasil Berry on our server.

The last juicy stuff that I consider on this patch is the Crimson Dawn Event. It is similar to Crowd Control however the NPCs are located at the guild dungeons of WoE 1 agits. I think the event aims to make WoE 1 agits more desireable to conquer and a reason to join sieges. The event will surely encourage players to join competitive guilds in order to join this event. Plus you will have the chance to get the rare Bloody Headgears.

We are full of events now so lets enjoy the latest offerings in pRO. Full patch is posted after the break.

Midgard Crowd Control Quest – Clock Tower

Note: The quest has been implemented from July 28, 2010 to August 11, 2010

Overview:
Another Crowd Control event has been implemented in pRO! We’ve been through the freaky Glast Heim Prison, freezing Ice Dungeon, scary Sphinx Dungeon and now it’s time for the Clock Tower. The Clock Tower version is a big surprise to us because it has been directly implemented in the commercial servers. The quest will be the fourth comeback and the new location is new challenge for us. The crowd control quests provide siege headgears in which its attributes were reduction from demi human characters. For the complete details regarding this crowd control kindly visit the Ragnaboards site.

Midgard Crowd Control Quest – Sphinx

Note: The quest has been implemented from June 23, 2010 to July 7, 2010

The episodic crowd control has returned! We have been challenged with the Zombie Prisoners on the forsaken city of Glast Heim. We have also experience the mighty Ice Titans on the chilling cave of Ice Dungeon. Now we are going to explore the maze of Sphinx and exterminate the formidable Anubis. Each adventurer will be rewarded with Mercenary Badges for every set of Anubis killed. For the complete details regarding the event kindly visit the Ragnaboards site.

Midgard Crowd Control Quest – Ice Dungeon

Note: The quest has been implemented from May 19, 2010 to June 9, 2010

Overview:
The trend for Midgard Crowd Control Quest became popular for pRO. The quest is very interesting because it promotes party play regardless of level and job class. The quest is also rewarding because for every 150 kills on a specific monster you can redeem a Mercenary Badge. These Mercenary Badges can be earned and exchange with Siege Headgears. For more information regarding the quest please refer to the Ragnaboards site.

Midgard Crowd Control Quest - Glast Heim

Note: The quest has been implemented from March 17, 2010 to March 31, 2010

Overview:
Philippine Ragnarok Online has shown us a very brilliant quest named Midgard Crowd Control Quest. Basically the quest requires us to kill a certain number of monsters in exchange with a Badge. Then badges will be collected in exchange to a Siege Headgear. The event literally flooded the Glast Heim Prison Dungeon with people earning their own badges. For the complete announcement of the event kindly visit the Ragnaboards site.

Endless Tower with Friends

Overview:

Endless tower is the latest hype for power levelling in our server. As we all know, renewal has different mechanics with regards to player versus monster levelling. For normal monsters, players must target monsters with 10 levels higher or the same as the players level in order to maximize experience points. But for MVP monsters there are no penalty restrictions so any level are eligible to receive the chunk experience from these monsters. That’s how Endless Tower fit into the picture. Endless tower contains MVP monsters every 5 levels oozing with bulk experience. That is why we, adventurers are targeting this instance dungeon for rewarding experience.

Now, you can carry more items because of the permanent weight limit increase granted by this item. It is displayed as an additional passive skill which grants a maximum of 2000 weight limit.

Patch Notes: November 17, 2010

Patch notes are early today again. There is a big event coming for War of the Emperium enthusiasts. We have a siege event called Friendship Cup 2010. Basically guilds will have to conquer agits to gain points and guilds who earns the highest point wins.

Philharmonic Orchestra at LU! Live 2010

I've been hunting this videos for days and luckily someone had uploaded the videos already. I'm talking about the performance of Philharmonic Orchestra at LU live. I personally didn't watch their performance because it was scheduled on a Saturday morning during the opening ceremonies. We attended LU live in the afternoon so we missed this beautiful number. Their performance gave me goosebumps and memories flashed on my head. Indeed its a great performance. Now, I'll be sharing to you their performances. Credits goes to the people who uploaded the video and the performers on the video.

Player Feedback

I've been working hard promoting my site both in-game and forums. You might see me AFK in Alberta with a pub "richkidherbert.blogspot.com << akin". The pub is open to all who wants to drop by say something. Because of this I've been receiving various feedback regarding the site, random questions and players needing zeny or items. Some even leave trash talk on my pub assuming that it's a fishing or a hack site. I don't blame them from doing that on my pub because there are a lot of hack sites being promoted on our server. It's really hard to promote a legitimate site when most of the site being promoted are hack sites. I have also read some negative feedback from players but I won't mind getting those. But even so I'm still happy because It just proves that my site is getting the attention that it needs. Well let's be positive and here are some of the feedback that I got.

Halloween 2010 Summons

On the 31st of October, I was parking my Genetic on our "tambayan" at Alberta Hagdan. Suddenly GM Aeon announced that they have a Halloween treat for players that night. They summoned boss monsters in town that wrecks the town in chaos. I'm shocked to see an event monster named Poring the Conqueror spawned near me. I'm familiar with the monster because I've seen him spawn at Prontera Market once. And I can say he has something to brag.

Fresh Poring the Conqueror spawn for the Halloween Event

Endless Tower Random Party

Our server is currently on leveling hype because of Renewal. A lot of players reached the maximum 150/50 level but majority of the population is still at the average level. One of the emerging popular dungeon for leveling is the Endless Tower. It is an Instance Dungeon where in there are 100 floors with increasing difficulty. Every 5 floors the team will battle MVP monsters in order to move on. Because MVP monsters are not affected with experience penalty, the Endless Tower became a target for leveling. A lot of players in our server are now organizing parties to conquer the tower to gain experience and to get rare drops from MVPs.

Waiting for the whole party to arrive at Misty Island

Convert and Receive Claiming

Last week early evening, the prizes for the Convert and Received Promo has been delayed. A lot of players were upset and its evident through Ragnaboards and shouts in-game. During that time I'm busy doing daily quests. It's not my habit to read shouts but sometimes repetitive shouts with the same topic catches my attention. The topic that night is about the delayed awarding of CnR prizes. Suddenly GM Aeon made an announcement that all prizes could now be claimed with Torsen.

GM Aeon thanking players who availed the CnR promo

I was about to finish my daily quest on my Genetic Vendor when suddenly Alberta experienced lag. I pass on the area of Torsen and found out that a large mob of players were waiting for their prizes. I'm surprised to see a lot of players availed the CnR promo even if the conversion is 500php. The picture of the people in Alberta tells us that a lot of Valkyrie players are patronizing the one day CnR event.

A snapshot of players claiming their rewards on Torsen

As for me, I didn't avail the promo because I have no plan on purchasing any hypermart item that time and I still have a premium. So I just changed character, waited for the lag to subside and continued my daily quest on my other characters.

If you can't see Torsen to claim your rewards please visit my Torsen post for the exact location.

Patch Notes: November 3, 2010

Patch Notes were up early this morning. It's a nice move to post the patch earlier rather than posting it early in the afternoon.

Nothing special for this week. I guess it's expected after the a modified experience. Players had heavy grind for their levels and needs some rest. Also LU live is coming this weekend so that explains why there are no special events for this week. Siege this Saturday is canceled to give way for the LU live event held at the World Trade Center so come and join the fun.

There are 2 interesting patches added to Sakray. One of which is a Crowd Control Event which I look forward to. Crowd Control is a nice event to let players interact with each other, acts on a common goal and importantly shares kill counts. The other one is an Invasion Event in which I have no I idea how it works. Let's just see the mechanics when it hits our main servers. For the complete patch notes read them after the break.
