Silkroad Online Forums

I'd say the same reasons you had when you quit 8 years ago are still valid, and unless there will be some serious policy changes this will not change. If you truly wish to play an MMORPG again, I'd suggest finding a better one than SRO. There's plenty of them out there.

Unfortunately, I died twice after this by encountering 2 Elite Rocky's that someone misplaced. They deal 5-6K damage per hit on me...

Seems like there are a few relatively low populated times on Flora, so I managed to actually grind a bit of xp again. It's a slow process though, but who knows: I might actually reach level 90 one day, and finally use that mana orbit skill.

Has anyone ever tried/seen the higher level bard spells? I wonder what bard is like at the 140 cap; how it compares to other classes.

I'm still here as well. Tried the Chinese only JC Planet Xian server a few days ago; it's not that bad. I still consider it impossible to hit a 140 cap without using a bot though, so I won't bother truly playing the game again. Proud to say I've still never used a bot. It was fun shooting a SUN+5 b...

I do recall how much fun it was to play a battle bard; I do miss those days at times. I just can't see myself putting that much time into a game anymore. I think a lot feel the same way. Silkroad really took up a lot of time! Only at the higher levels though. For fun I’ve shot and nuked my way to l...

I disagree... - Damage of s/s and bow are about the same; spear is about 10% higher. - Protection of s/s is better, with shield block, extra defence and an extra item to put int/str/etc. on. - Skills of s/s are very nice, with great status effects. Unfortunately, if you're facing a cleric, none of t...

Does anyone still play on Troy?

Well, I created Vivace on Thebes too. I doubt I'll play as often as I used to, but I may drop by from time to time. SRO-R sounds slightly more promising than trying to get anywhere near the cap in iSRO.

Considering how Joymax farked up iSRO with its bot and grinding, how many people are actually planning on playing SRO 2? I certainly don't plan on playing.

What about Cold/Force/Weapon? Do debuffs get the Cold nukes to hit harder than Light or Fire? Weapon skills with debuffs would still own in PvP though. Ice nukes only give decent damage against 5 enemies; below that lightning deals more. Fire always deals quite a bit more. Using force debuffs on mu...

Seems to me like force is only viable for a STR based character then. An INT based character needs at least two energy trees already, so an INT force build would not have access to a weapon tree. Force isn't very useful in PvE, and without a weapon tree 1vs1 PvP is also problematic, which would leav...

That's odd; I used one last night, and it worked perfectly for me.

I've been playing a Force character since I started playing Silkroad, and until the Euro characters hit it did come in handy. Lately though I've come to doubt my decision for the following reasons: 1. For single play, it really doesn't add much. The vital spots sound good in theory, but more often t...

Please read the post and the poll.
I've been hybrid; just turned pure INT, and I already have my bicheon nuker (Sybian).

I love playing nukers, I don't like heuksal skills, and I already have my bicheon nuker Sybian, so with the free respec I'm wondering about what to do with my Pinokkio. I'm trying to decide between three builds, and would love some input on which one and why.

I'm rather fond of my bard/cleric actually; I decided to switch my nukers to full INT.
What I haven't decided yet is on the possible skill reset.

It's rather pricey too: 299 or 499 silk depending on your level. Still, I might be tempted to use it on one of my hybrids.

I think that if they'd implement bot banning based on a warning system: 1st offense: 1 day suspension 2nd offense: 1 week suspension 3rd offense: 1 month suspension etc. a lot of the player bots would switch to legit play before the 3rd offense. Combine that with a change in the amount of xp/sp need...

IntWarrior wrote:Which are you playing??? Light,Ice,Force or Fire,Ice,Force?

I thought that was pretty obvious from my sig. Light/Ice/Force, though I'm strongly considering keeping my current setup of light/force with subs ice/fire. A bit of natural immunity comes in handy while grinding.

omier44 wrote:Not only that. This solution got also suggested here to prevent goldbotting.

Good point, but in that case they could have put a level cap on the problem so people near the cap (certainly not gold botters) don't get bitten by it.

Everyone suggested this solution before. The community of SRO is kinda funny. Who is everyone? The legit community of SRO has asked for only one bot solution: ban them! Be online, undercover if needs be, find those botters, and ban them. 1st offense: 1 week, 2nd offense: 1 month, 3rd offense: bye b...

Accusations are only valid when they are true. If they aint true like in this case, it is pure slander. I see no reason to accuse firefinal1 of botting without any kind of proof other than expression an opinion in this thread. Certainly, this change will hit botters harder than legits, but that doe...

I'm actually playing one of these builds; it works out quite well for me. As you said: don't expect too much in pvp, but other than that it works fine.

That's provided you can keep them away, and don't spend your PvP time looking up at the sky after the 10th knockdown.

The main reason? PvP of course. Against mobs it really doesn't matter that much, but in PvP that extra HP really comes in handy. If you can deal 70% of the damage, and have 5 times the HP, you can imagine that this is not a bad deal when it comes to PvP.

But when you crit, does the dmg only consist of your phy dmg or does the mag dmg add to the already calculated crit dmg or something? If I remember correctly, the damage will be 2xphy + mag. Since mag damage for a full INT is so high, it still outweighs the 2xphy damage of a full STR. As said befor...

less? how is it less if crits are based off of skills and weapon but stats dont give a chance for crits anyways? wouldnt the only thing the extra int increase in damage is your imbue? how would it affect crits :O Crit's are based off of your physical attack damage (pretty much your regular physical...
