So yea. I'm supporting this idea, meaning having mob skills and removing the possibility to easily kill MvP monsters would be pretty nifty (good for economy as well). So please decide~!
Admin
well I say no cause I wrote that NPC and I likes it >.>

and yes I'm being as serious as possible o.o I was the one who said someone should make a poll so people can decide, there is my opinion =P

The mvp arena was a nice idea. Fritz i do give you credit for it. However after a while people just abuse in there anyway. Without the mob skills, even with buffing the mvps, you can still take them 1 on 1.... I know I can, I tested it, I can just out tank it...... which is... kinda..... not challenging at all....

So i say we remove this system.

If they can 1 vs 1 them then maybe removing the arena isn't the best solution? Do you think that just because they're not in the arena that a player won't be able to take them on 1 vs 1?

Well my reason for wanting mob skills instead is the fact that the normal MvP monster have a spawnrate (usually one hour or so), thus it is harder to find all those rare items (which are really not rare anymore these days). Sure the MvP arena is a fun thing, but in my opinion a healthy economy has a higher priority at the moment. Rares should remain rares, it makes the game much more fun to play (since you actually can set youself more goals than now).

Plus...people would finally move out for hunting again, instead of staying in Prontera and doing everything there.

Oh and remember, there are still Dead Branches you can use, and that an MvP monster appears is no rarity really.

MVP arena becomes a problem when people pms you out of the blue and ask: "where can find doppel"... that's freaking pathetic... it's like when i do weddings and people asks me: "where is the church" i mean... places like the church and things where people go to job change, no one knows about them anymore? why? becaues of that stupid jobfra. whoo level your novice to 10/10 go clicky clicky... wha la, you now have your 1st job. kill some more, level X/50, clicky clicky, wha la, 2nd job, no skills what so ever... RO is enough of a braindead kill all you can game to begin with, the least we can do is at least make the players work forsome of those things... and not just give them every thing right there:

IMO: the jobfra should only have novice high, all advance 1st and 2nd jobs, and super novices job change, all the 1st and second job change they should do normally as per job quests: but yes.. that's a lot of scripting -_-' so i'll rest my case (another ideological idea that won't work)

and of course you are right when it comes to whether or not people can go 1 on 1 with the mvps, but the thing is even if they encounter mvp on the world maps, there are sure to be some agressive monsters lurking around them during the fight... thus making things a bit more interesting than just warping into the mvp arena... pummel the mvps until you get what you want.

-MPV Arena is a genius idea, but i think beside more buffs the mob, the mob MVP must have slave to make difficult player to kill MVP.
exp. Baphomet have 8 slave Bapho Jr.
Doppelganger have 8 slave Nightmare
-About Jobfra it would be disable, Ray is right its make people dumb, people must follow the job quest to change they job, advance class i totaly agree with Ray. smile
-In MPV Arena player have to pay to heal exp. 500z
-Kafra Warp must pay, at least people have to used kafra pass to get that service, npc kafra pass at aldebaren must be active each kafra pass have price 2000z or it can be add in tool shop to sell kafra pass.
-drop item to high make other people dont appreciate the item and make economy unstable, 400/400/5 it good i think smile

Thanks to all Devilish management

Why would you even have to vote about this... @__@;;

Note : you can't have both skills and the arena so your idea makes no sense Jackers

Even if it stays, remove that NPC inside the arena, that's the main reason that makes them 1v1 them... you can get as much heals for free whenever you need one... how stupid. When they're outside the arena fritz, not only the have skills to kick your ass, there will be no more healer there to save your ass so that's why it's a good idea.
(Still about the economy stuff, most of the MVP's 'rares' are uber useless items, so maybe some custom drops would help, and the MVP arena a genius idea? Lol like 99% of all servers have such NPC's nowaday's...)

Because everything free u underestimate the money, if the server rate drop item set to 5 u will never have 5m in normal play, and not all MPV drop item is junk, u feel like that because to much item mvp u have, do u think other people can beat mvp outside the arena ? u totaly wrong. i can beat mvp outside mvp arena without free npc healer, i just need to buy Yggdrasilberry or Seed of Yggdrasil to take out mvp, the point is people who play in this server have to work much hard to survive and to get the item and the money. NOT the easy way that u thinking!.

this. mob skills good.. removing the MVP arena is a good idea. xD

*edited* ( dont feel like making a new post. waste of time)

Hm. there should be an auto pick up if there was to be a removal of the MVP arena. That way, the one who does the most damage or kills it get the item automatically without people complaining this and that stole my items from the MVP i was attacking and trying to kill.

but i know this would bring up new problems. but its just another suggestions if devilish was to change. xD

my 2 cents. * more to come maybe?* xD

implement the mob skills and remove the mvp arena...the mvp bosses are too easy to beat when they don't have any skills and there's a healing npc nearby which makes it even easier...it gets boring with the mvp arena around and you can see all these merchants selling mvp items which makes them not rare anymore....

hmm... I'm not sure about this idea. But I think removing the mvp arena will bring new problems in.

Hunting mvps in the world map might be more fun and challenging but cases of Ks'ing and looting will increase by a lot. This can be very annoying especially when you spent a lot of time hunting for the mvp and suddenly a bunch of people came up from nowhere, Ks' the monster and loot the items. and There is only one mvp in each hour.

Hunting mvps in the arena, well, it could be boring but at least we get what we want. And even if other people Ks' the monster, it won't be that annoying becoz another mvp will be spawned.

Err... wtf? First of all I don't even play here (anymore) so I don't know what you're talking about lol...

Never get 5M with 5x rates? Damn you really suck @ RO then, because the items you find will be worth a lot more thanks to the low droprate you have 5 mil in no time... why the hell do you think some people in iRO can easily get like 200 mil? I have a friend, and his friend plays iRO, he found a GTB card there... people wanted to give him amounts between 200~400m for that so just think how easy just 5 mil is then.
'I can beat MVP outside arena with berries', yeah that's the same thing as a portable heal NPC, but just think, when they remove this thing and you will have to fight outside. Keep in mind that the rates and the level cap are lowered. No more easy acquiring ygg berries or seeds, not to mention insane cast time. With stuff like a 99 cap and 5x rates you NEED a party unless you go for the really really weak MVP's like phreeoni...

And easy way of thinking? What the hell , your post makes no sense at all but ah well... If you don't like low rates, where you have to work 'hard' (shit come on, even with those rates you could be like 99 in 1 month or something like that...) then you can just find another high rate server, nowadays you see nothing but high rate servers, I don't know why everyone is complaining when people try to make a server a bit more of a challenge, people like that I can understand, since nowadays it's almost impossible to find good low/mid rate server (with mid I mean stuff like 15~30) but high rate servers... you don't even have to look for them, you can like go to a private server forum, click on the first topic and 9 of 10 times you will have a high rated server...

'not all MVP drop item is junk'
...
That's exactly why I said MOST OFF, that means like A LOT BUT NOT EVERYTHING
=_= But it's damn true, most MVP drops are crappy, the only good things are like OVB's and OBB's, magestic goat, some slotted gear and GTB and mistress card, the other ones suck ass (especially doppelganger, that card is uber noobage, since DMG > ASPD ! )

But whatever your post didn't make sense anyway, I just needed to reply something, to show why that post of yours is bullshit lol
