So.... I quit the game almost a year ago, due to... u know, bots/lag/bad community & management, etc.

Recently I heard Joymax added Europe, so here i am, asking for your opinions in these questions:

1. Is the game still laggy & crash happy?

2. Hows joymax doing with all the botting?

3. Back then when i was playing, i noticed more immature players in SRO than any other MMO, is it still the case now?


Thanks for reading this; any opinions are appreciated

Not as many but yes

Nice, so Europe is the way to go now

Im planning on starting a Crossbow Rogue, how is it compared to Chinese Archers?

I know this isnt the best place to ask, but i dont feel like making mutiple threads.

xbow rogue is strong and most of the time you dont need xbow extreme

xbow extreme = 75% phy atk inc, 75% phy and mag def decrease, 50% hp decrease, and phy atk power increase by a certain amout (it varies with the lvl of xbow extreme)

dagger rogues have a similar technique called = dagger desperate
dagger desperate = 75% phy atk increase, 75% phy and mag def decrease, and phy atk power increase by a certain amount ( it varies with the lvl of dagger desperate)

to answer your question

well... europeans have a 15 second potion delay, and are ment for parties.

and the xbow rogue is the nuker of pure str ( yes thier dmg is that high )
but they sacrafice serious def and hp to release that power.

so 15 sec pot delay + def/hp loss + MASSIVE dmg = chinese pot spamming bower who is worthless without imbue

THIER EQUAL, ITS ALL ABOUT PREFERENCE

hope that helped

lol i totaly forgot about those 2 skills

DUDE @topic starter
the KD and KB ARE LIFE SAVERS!!!

I CAN SOLO GIANTS WITH XBOW EXTREME OFF!!

mmm sweet. THanks for the help KD and KB sounds pretty sweet at range

Do European chars need extensive sp farming like chinese chars? or i can just lvl up with 1 or 0 gap and have just enough sp for one tree?

Actually I have no problem with that. The only thing that I suffer the most is capacity of each server, doubt of premium ticket users. I suggest that they increase every single server's capacity.

if you get only the xbow skills/skills with rogue passives/skills

you only need max like about a 2 gap
you can 0 gap with an sp ticket and premium

I see

Well, startin the game now hope its not too dissapointing

I came back and tried making a euro char. This is what I saw. :p NOONE will party you....everyone tries to solo. Seems like there are more non english speaking players. The game has constant lag like the server are overseas or something. I click the ground and theres a little delay there. It's annoying. O_o

-edit- Oh and bots are still EVERYWHERE.

1. still laggy


2. well after the euro update for a few days(2-3) there were very VERY few bots. and servers populate

3. yea immature players i found out a 7 yeard old playing so i murdered him cause of the dumb things he said.

Doing so will make the serves more laggy. Back in the day the serves didnt have a server cap, so anyone could get in at anytime. But the lagg was terrible. If you think you lag now, you have nothing on what use to happen. I dont lag now, back in the day i was pulling off 15 second lag bursts after nearly every kill.

By increasing the cap, it will mean the serves will lag more and everyone will start complaining again. Besides, most of those new spots would be taken up by bots anyway.

oh yea, xbow has a max of 35m range
(the longest range in the game btw )

just play csro, less crowded, no bots and great community
