June 29, a change of pace.

Posted June 29th, 2009 by Skotlex

Today's update has a few mechanic game changes, inspired in part by RO's renewal system and in part to fix the huge min~max damage range that everyone has been victim of as of late.

General

  • Added party leader aura bonuses. Now players in sight of the party leader will receive a small bonus based off the leader's base class:
    • Acolyte: +5% MDEF2
    • Archer: +5% HIT
    • Mage: +5% Max SP
    • Merchant: +5% DEF2
    • Novice: +3% BATK
    • Taekwon: +3% MATK
    • Thief: +5% FLEE
    • Swordman: +5% Max HP
  • Updated the antique reseller so that items are only removed from the shop if they have been up for sale 8+ hours.
  • Added Magmaring to Poring Box list.
  • Pets picking an attack target right after their current target dies is now based on chance based on life remaining.

Game Mechanics

  • Guild Tax is now applied after player penalties, this enables pet to bypass it.
  • Changed the equation for flee/hit/def2/mdef2 to take into account additional stats, and giving a bit more of weight to base rather than job level:
    • Flee: Agi + Dex/2 + Lv/2 + JobLv/4
    • Hit: Dex + Int/2 + Lv/2 + JobLv/4
    • Def2: Vit + Agi/2 + Lv/2 + JobLv/4
    • MDef2: Int + Vit/2 + Lv/2 + JobLv/4
  • Changed the min damage equation to be (bAtk + Masteries) increased by (Weapon Attack + Hit)/2%
  • Changed Flee Defence to be a fixed Flee/2 reduction on bAtk (modified by angle of attack, of course).
  • Changed the Flee bonus of equipment to be a percent of Flee rather than a fixed flee value. Bonus values are no longer modified by refine rate. Target boost values are:
    • Armor: +2%
    • Shield: +3%
    • Shoes/Weapons: +4%
    • Garment: +5%

Bug Fixes

  • Corrected the selling price of multiple items that had an unusual default selling price of 1z or 2z (eg: refined weapons)
  • Fixed bomb poring not appearing out of poring boxes.
  • Monster summon count will now be based on number of players in sight, rather than number of players in map (the latter is fixed after engaging in combat).
  • Fixed the Kafra Voting NPC sometimes telling you to wait before voting despite being offline for long periods of time.
  • Fixed the selling price of some items being set based on their default (before MouRO adjustments) properties.
