[iztupido]

Sorry if it's been asked and answered already but, are you guys starting at cap 60?

[fckerr]

Yes.

[iztupido]

I'll be around then. cap 60~70 ftw

[Jaapii]

[Atibu]

rawr, last time I check almost all item mall items worked. All areas do work except the caves ATM. Capture the flag, arena, etc... aren't really important for beta so we won't add them now.

[Jaapii]

The reasons so many pics are in Jangan is because we're all started out at level 1, if we go anywhere else we will die, obviously. We can also test everything there trading, exchanging, item mall, PvP, murder, ect, just about everything.
PM me on SRF/eSRO forums what/where you want a picture of and I'll go and take one.
Remember I have reverse return scrolls that I can use to go to main parts all over the map.
So far I will be taking my next set of pics in Roc Mountain and Alexandria, since I haven't witnessed Alexandria myself either, if it is currently unlocked for us.
I will avoid Jangan pictures as much as I can.

@Jaapii
"Almost everything"
Euro will be implemented before the 60 cap is raised as their skills are 50-60% complete according to npcdoom.
The skills were one of the first things finished in eSRO for Chinese as I believe they are easy for him to work on. Euro takes a little bit longer because of buffs and layering of buffs, and all their statuses from warlock and such.
npcdoom will be a Euro GM when the server is up too.
As soon as I am able to test on one I will take many pics. as my current PC cannot handle fraps or anything well.

okay, good to hear

[Rawr~]

@Atibu
Yeah but I was too lazy to list them.

[Atibu]

@rawr, you cannot be lazier than me!

[snigglez]

=/ i wanna play but last time i tried to regiester on the beta site i didnt get a email vertifcation and when i tried to pm the gm i didnt get a msg back =(

[Atibu]

'the gm'?

We have dosens of staff members who could help you, the best method would be to contact us in irc since most staff members are on vacation, and I'm currently unable to help you. If there is a ~ or ^ in your forumname it could be that it isn't registered. try again without it then

[Dancin]

When will ESRO be released?

[CeLL]

i dont think that people who dont read deserve adequate answers to questions.

[Alkali]

When will ESRO be released?

Yes.

[Dancin]

don't be so rude pls I read the last 2 sites I haven't found out the answer

[majincooler]

don't be so rude pls I read the last 2 sites I haven't found out the answer

Probably a few months ( 3 or 4 ), they are approaching closed beta and then open beta will soon be available.

[Rawr~]

Release time is unknown.
CB time is guessed to be 1-2 weeks from now but exact date is unknown.
OB time will probably be a couple of weeks after some CB testing and fixing bugs that can crash the server.
I haven't seen npcdoom for a few days so he could be busy with something or his PC blew up so I can't really give anybody updates.
I'm just as impatient as you guys, waiting sucks.

[TheDrop]

When will ESRO be released?

I so wanna play euro in eSRO

[Atibu]

rawr, npcdoom has just found a big pot of weed, that's why he's inactive... sorry...

[Dancin]

I don't like the double sp rates. If you don't want to play with gap then simply level only 1 or 2 masteries and/or use a 9 gap when you already reached maxed level.

[SamTheNayru]

Wow Dancin, you're seriously the ONLY one that doesn't like the double SP rates.
You're weird.

[Alkali]

I don't like the double sp rates. If you don't want to play with gap then simply level only 1 or 2 masteries and/or use a 9 gap when you already reached maxed level.

Lol, seems like you haven't tryed getting FF in a higher level, you'd know how much of a pain in the ass farming is. And the insane sp requirement was/is/will be the main reason why more and more people quit sro.

[Rawr~]

Dancin, you are the first person I have ever heard they like farming. I've capped 4 characters and I must say, I NEVER want to gap again due to me farming all 4. I have yet to cap a FF'd character due to me be lazy and getting bored of the character before I can finish farming it. Becoming FF to 90 from 68 (skill update in ECSRO) was crap.

@Alkali, yeah becoming FF at 90+ just sucks, in eSRO I don't think you would have to farm, ever.

@Atibu, nais.

[Reapka]

I'm not sure if this was answered in 14 pages,but I'll give it a try:
Do Force debuffs and Bicheon chain statuses work as they're supposed to? Does Snow Shield take MP away?

[Atibu]

sure they work, since we're using an emulator, which can be updated since we have the source of it, it should be obvious.

That means at maxed lvl your strengh is based only on your equipment.

With farming your srengh would not only be based on equipment, but also whether you are farmed or not. Someone with bad equpment could compensate it with being farmed. If you don't need to farm, your strengh is only based on euipment which is boring in my eyes

[CeLL]

then dont play it.

[Rawr~]

Farming does make a difference, but not as much as many think.
I have killed many people who were FF'd in ECSRO when I had a 22 gap, yes I really did have a 22 gap. 90 cap skills were released and mine were only @ lv. 68 as I was lv. 90.
I was able to easily kill nukers with my glaive @lv. 68, when I had gotten enough SP to bring my glaive skills to 80 just for SSE I was able to kill other glaivers and archers much easier.

As long as your weapon is maxed as a pure STR and your imbue is maxed as an INT farming the rest won't make too much of a difference in damage, with the exception of adding new skills/books.
My set was FB +5 with SoS +5 84/85 pants and chest with a +5 glaive, phys. bal. was @ 108%, just pointing out I didn't have super gear. Exact same story with my 88 pure INT s/s but with fire @ around 83 with a 114% mag. balance.
In my case gear/blues compensated for my horrible farming.

Personally I do agree with you a bit Dancin as the outcome of a PvP will be based purely on build, skill, and gear.
