Well? What went wrong?

Renewal

Bots and terrible drop rates.

Why is every private server 20x EXP with like 3x drop?

>>322331761

0.0001% of drop rate

it's fun i swear...if you're korean

>>322331989
Because private servers tend to want to eliminate the need to grind so much. Why keep players busy if they're not handing over money constantly?

>>322332083
But the exp grind was the fun part. Grinding drops was the shit part. They're doing it backwards.

But I guess it doesn't bring in the donation money if they can't sell rare drops in the cash shop.

>>322331761
Biggest problem is that it's a single player game for the majority of people who don't do WoE

What was your first card anon?

>>322332160
>But the exp grind was the fun part.
Fun part was going into dungeons and seeing how many times you want to throttle one of the idiots in your party. There was always someone who didn't want to keep up with the slow pace of the bard and so would run off, get slaughtered and then blame the party.

Too many fucking Brazilians, DUH!

Nothing went wrong.
At the time, it was all so perfect.

Penomena card. I made a decent amount of zeny off of it.

Unfortunately, that was the only card I found during the year I played the game. I'm not even sure how that's possible.

What people don't seem to understand is cards weren't supposed to be something you grind for.
It was supposed to be a bonus thing that you could get from killing monsters and trade with

What gravity fucked up though is that most cards are objectively shit, and aren't worth a thing
So if you want to trade you're forced to grind the same goddamn monsters to get a worthwihle card that every class needs

tl;dr Gravity are retards

How would you have done 3rd classes differently?

Should they have been implemented at all?

>>322332912
I wouldn't have implemented 2nd or 3rd jobs at all.

Seems like it'd be far more beneficial to focus on trying to balance out the classes and add more items with interesting effects.

>>322332912
The only reason they added further progression was to sell more exp packs, not because the game needed it. Rebirth was enough.

>>322333050
>I wouldn't have implemented 2nd jobs
Whoa now, I'd agree with 3rd Jobs but 2nd Jobs are fun.

>>322333307
I'd be fine either way if there was better balance around the classes.

Some classes in Pre-Trans were just outright useless. They managed to make all classes at least somewhat useful with Rebirth, but Creator shits on all of them so who cares.

>>322333556
>Some classes in Pre-Trans were just outright useless
it's a MMO, not a fighting game
bard was completely useless by itself, but in a party he was as useful as a priest
the higher challenge for the higher reward is why we didn't get parties with 5 priests and 5 wizards and we got some variety, different challenges for different people

You probably noticed that priests were usually nice people and bards and dancers were huge attention whores

>>322333528
It's very hard, I'm compelled to level up.

>>322331989
> terrible drop rates

grinding for 0.01% drops was the most retarded thing a game ever got me to do.

But 2nd and 3rd jobs existed for a long, long, long time anon.

>>322332541
and how the fuck were you supposed to kill stuff without proper weapons? I can see myself getting around without green boots or immune/mocking manteau, but without damage cards? gravity can't be serious.

jesus, I'm now reminded you had to kill 10000 monsters before you got one, and monsters had a spawn rate

I didn't have any other characters to collect materials so every time some fucking bot came by and killed my geographers it really hurt me deep in my heart. I just wanted to hang out and heal people while naked little girls aggroed monsters over to our group.

>>322334251
You think this is bad? My Ranger hits 1m+ damage with Aimed Bolt, and that is without Lex and barely good gear.

I really want to play iRO again, but I don't know if I should do it.

I was playing a 150/50 Archbishop before I stopped, full support obviously.

Is there any /v/ RO guild around on iRO Chaos?
