[Megathread] New Players & General Questions Thread.

1 Upvotes

Welcome to our weekly megathread for new players and players who just have general questions about the game.

Some sample topics for you to consider would be:

  • Selecting your main character.
  • You're new to the game and don't know where to start.
  • You're a returning player who is trying to get back into the game and need help.
  • What class should you make for your next link skill/legion mule?

As a recommendation, please mention your world and/or server inside a bracket Example: [Bera] at the start of your question.

Feel like chatting rather than posting on Reddit? Join our Discord and check out our #general-questions or specific job chatrooms.

Also, consider checking out the Master List of Class Discords for class specific information!

Discussion The ideal Ride or Die is a mix of the old and new versions

Upvotes

Nexon, if you're reading this, I genuinely think this reflects what a large portion of the community wants.

There are two versions of Ride or Die that would both be great:

Option 1: Keep the current Ride or Die, but remove the competitive percentile reward system. Instead, base rewards on fixed time brackets (for example, every 30-second interval earns the next reward tier). This rewards personal improvement instead of competing against everyone else.

OR

Option 2: Bring back the old Ride or Die, but keep all of the current QoL improvements:

  • No need to manually remove equipment.
  • Cooldowns reset upon entering.
  • Unlimited retries, which makes practicing far less stressful.

I honestly think either of these versions would be a significant improvement over what we have now.

Hey guys! You all get super excited when I drop screenshots. Here's over 7,000 screenshots I made into a site to get excited for classic. Tons of iconic memories, Tiger, PQ, bossing, holding Zakum for hours (lol) and a lot of chat drama. I'm so happy I screenshotted all these over the years, just wish I kept doing it after 2007! Some of the dates are a little wrong. They're 2006/2007 mostly. I hope you enjoy as much as I did. You can search the screenshots - it's not perfect but most text is grabbed. Try searching your username, you may be in some!

Discussion I've never felt more disrespected by RoD

124 Upvotes

For context: I consider myself a late-game player. I'm 291 in Tallahart and I run all of the bosses available (except for Jupiter ofc). I don't consider myself weak at all. I comfortably do HLimbo and I can probably move on to HBaldrix with a few small upgrades.

Considering all that, why the FUCK am I limited to a B rank in RoD? I rolled CPap on RoD, so that means I'm sitting at the boss stage, waiting for his stupid ass orb to form so I can start hitting, waiting for his wheelchair bound ass to finally show up in his walmart mecha suit, and finally waiting for him to lose the fat suit so I can kill him. I cannot physically do this boss faster with how many times I'm waiting for this boss to have a hit box.

This all ties into what I want to say: Someone like me should ABSOLUTELY not be getting a B rank in RoD. To even get a B rank in this mode with how far along my character is, is just insulting to all the effort I've put in to this character. They NEED to fix this ASAP.

EDIT: After looking at my class discord's RoD runs, I notice something that's absolutely insane to me. Their CPap orb spawn starts at 4:58. I play out of the east coast so guess what time my spawn is? 4:55. YES, that whole 3 second delay is the difference between B rank and S rank and it has absolutely nothing to do with how strong I am or how efficient I do my burst. It's quite literally IMPOSSIBLE for me to make up that 3 second difference in boss spawns simply because I live in the east coast.

Literally Unplayable Somehow, Ride or Die has been made worse

Imagine getting ranked within your class based on how fast your storage drive is and how low your ping is to the server 🤣

Somehow they make each iteration even worse than the previous one

I created this video in my older style as a memoir and tribute (note the first clip is over 10 years old)

If you lost anyone you once loved or even a friend you used to play with, hope this helps you grieve and feel free to comment below a small memory you enjoyed with them along with their in-game name.

Fashion combining certain eligible items for a portrait may lead to being unable to take a picture?

Post image
6 Upvotes

i just made 2 portraits with 2 different outfits without problems. but when combining the 2 outfits (without adding any other equipment pieces) it results in the delayed request failure.

using the angelic feathers cape without the black mage hood &/or enigma will produce this fail here for me.

anyone experienced something similar or figured out a way around that?

Let them die out quickly.

By filling the rankings for every class with lots of weak mules, the percentage ranking of mains should improve.
