Restricted Skills on ROMSP

Overview:
ROMSP has created a new architecture of Ragnarok online which they called Classic-Revo. They also put in place restrictions on couple of skills which they thought  was imbalanced or game breaking. I may not agree with some of their perspective but we will respect their decisions.

Restricted / Unimplemented Skill on ROMSP

Guild - Emergency Call/Urgent Call
Description: A guild skill that a Guild Master can only use to summon all online members on his side. It has a fixed 5 minute cool down before it can be used again
Comments:

• this restriction heavily changed how guilds play the war of emperium which guilds prefer a regroup then face to face battle rather than bringing your whole guild into the action at once
• the restriction removes the ability of the attacking guild to penetrate heavily portal defended agit with a surprise attack from behind
• calling back up from members and allies are also slow and encourages a regroup then big push to overwhelm the defenders of the agit
• sometimes this skill can be a comeback mechanic for defending guild who can no longer go back to portal defend in the emperium room once the attacking guild secured the flag warp spawn of the agit

Blacksmith - Greed
Description: Blacksmith quest skill that picks up loots around a 5x5 area but still covered by loot priority mechanic
Comments:

• The restriction on this skill might be intended for bots but I don't think it is effective since bot can auto loot all drops even if the drop is yet to reach the ground
• The skill could help normal players sweep loots from events maps where loots are not really being picked up for additional zeny
• Maybe it's a way of ROMSP to slow down the zeny accumulation

Update:

• Skill is released as a Scroll but can only be obtained by gambling on specific Lucky Scrolls like Outward Scroll
• Skill is released as an Equipment Skill from the Lighthalzen Craft Headgears for Merchant class called Flaward's Hat

Bard/Dancer - Loki's Veil/Classical Punk
Description: A war of emperium leaning skill that blocks all skills from being casted on a 9x9 area
Comments:

• The restriction is understandable since this is the most defensive skill used for portal defense
• The restriction gives attacking guilds a chance to use protective skills during a portal siege like casting Land Protect/Magnetic Earth or debuff skills like Frost Joke and Scream

Sage - Deluge
Description: A land enchantment with water element on a 7x7 area which amplifies water based attacks and increasing max HP of characters
Comments: 

• The restriction is for WOE only but can be used outside WOE agits
• I don't understand the logic behind the restriction since Land Protect/Magnetic Earth will always be the superior land enchantment
• It can help in portal defense by amplifying water skill damages and adds a slight HP but this is far from game breaking
• The bonus is instantly removed once you go out of the Deluge area

Rouge - Remover and Piece
Description: Piece places a graffiti on other guilds emblem while Remover removes the graffiti
Comments:

• This skill is unimplemented since launched of the rouge class and was never reviewed
• Not sure why this is still in the game if it cannot be used at all
• Unfortunately these skills are pre-requisite skills for all ground paint skills of the 3rd job Shadow Chaser

Alchemist - Bioethics
Description: Alchemist quest skill that will unlock all the Homunculus based skills
Comments:

• It is not yet implemented until now with the whole Homunculus Tree
• Maybe the restriction is bot related due to the ability of Homunculus to auto attack using the Homunculus AI which may be viewed as bot
•  I'm biased here to defend that the Homunculus Feature is one of the core patch for Alchemist and will not cause imbalance just because it can auto attack
• restricting this skill will also deny us of the Homunculus S patch in the Future
• I'm still hopeful that ROMSP will implement this patch

Update:

• Skill is released via Bioethics Device which can be bought at Eden at 1,000,000z with free 1 embryo

Biochemist - Cultivate Plant
Description: Summons a Mushroom or Plant on the selected cell
Comments:

• I understand the restriction since there is an abuse that can be used on these plants that I cannot provide details.
