Maybe the potting system will be based on race while the pots themselves stay the same. That way Chinese characters will pot fast and Euro ones will pot slowly. Can someone who's played Chinese & European characters on kSRO answer this?

Im going to choose to be a european magister...i love european magic with a great passion.

So if its more work...ill be glad to take on the load.

Then the Euro would get owned in PvP with Chinese.. Why would anyone play Euro when they could solo all day with Chinese?

There is no way around this problem but to nurf pots game wide. I have always tried to figure out why SRO even had a healing class. Pots have been super over powered from the start. I think they were so worried about building a player base they made the game to easy. We all have been spoiled on part of the game that should of never been.

This also is a fast and easy/cheap way of fixing the bot problem.

I would like to hear what the Euro players think?

there is NO way you can survive in europe without a party.. unless you're leveling on blue / green mobs. i just started playing and everything is so much easier with a party. leveling is much easier, and you don't even have to worry about your health because there's some pereson tagging along, healing everyone and buffing them up.

chinese sro is a lot easier because you don't need other players to rely on when you want to level fast. it's just.. grind grind grind. ksro is much more different because they have party mobs.. which are hard to kill by yourself, if impossible.

european sro reminds me of flyff.. they're kinda similar because they're party based, and there are assists to heal and buff you too.

yes party based grind is more fun... but they should make euro mobs have higher hp..some what like giants, rather then have lots and lots of regular argressive mobs all over the place attacking and killing you cause of the pot delay.

- it would be kool to have a field fill of giants that have 100000 hp but does medium damage XD. Like like like....an area that spawns non stop uniques, one after the other.

so chinese for solo, euro for group, whats left for islam...

Protectors...

Edit: Joke! (a bad one)

if they do that... it will be pointless to be an int.... u cant tank long enough to get healed by anyone or to wait to be able to pot again....

if they do that, they destroy china :S

In KSRO the pots are still instant for the Chinese... lol That hasnt changed

Euro is a group activity. They arent gonna be able to fight 1 v 1 except against eachother. Maybe... They have some major power that the Chinese dont have. My heals are uber. Imagine a guild war with a high level Euro healer? WOW. I can heal everyone in the party instantly with a single skill. Wizards are the only class that is hard to keep alive. lol They die one shot with a crit. No defense at ALL.

OMG UBER HEALER I WANT!!

So far, I have found this...

In a perfect Euro party you need: 1 healer, 1 harpist, 1 tank and several support strs and ints. Any combination of axe/dagger/sword and wizard works. The biggest issue is too many wizards dont realize they cant fight up front. They gotta run more. lol They are so hard to heal cause they go from full to zip in a hit.

Oh and Euro mobs are heal aggro. SUXXORZZZZ

Sux cause you cant run and heal at the same time. Ima int char so running is necissary.

I will stay Chinese. I will also to create a Euro character to try out. Just trying only. It is not easy to retrain.

I think that its great you willl have the opportunity to CHOOSE one or the other. Two different styles of gameplay for different styles of ppl.

Thanks for answering the potting question nightbloom.

Also, what are the warlocks like? I was thinking of making a warlock if too many people go wizard.

Well when the time comes, you will see me in Euro, either with a double dagger rouge, or Sword-Shield Warrior. Might try to Axes to see how it goes... I dont mind Chinese SRO solo grinding. However i prefer the Euro group grinding.

I used to play RYL.II, with my friends (who left SRO because it was solo based), well RYL was much more Group orientated, although you would have litte problems Soloing. What you can expect to see, is (as mentioned before) is LFG! or Groups of people searching for specific chars, eg. "Looking for lvl XX Wizard" at times people will make money out of this.. So u could see a little change to the SRO economy.

Healers will turn out to be the most tempting and wanted class, as Euro develops.

O and as for "When does Euro come out" i got wind that we can expect to see it March 2007.

Hooray! Just in time for when uni starts again. Oh well, at least I should have my Chinese character leveled up by then.

i ll play euro because when it will be released my char will prolly be 90 maxed etc so i won t grind with it anymore... and i ll have fun in europe^^

Well yah, most likely we will be getting the Cap raise on around Christmas, as a sort of Christmas present. from SRO, Well thats what i got wind of....

none of the above i choose islam

i choose chinese ofcourse flarking tired of grinding

LOL they are really going all out to make this game more like Everquest. Well better looking then EQ!

So what happens when a euro character bumps into a chinese one in an opposite job suit? Gets nuked for 80% of their health, pots it off, nuked again and dies cuz they can't pot for another 30 seconds. So if that's true not only can't you grind alone but you can't job alone either and you need healers all the time, so really all you'd do is kill the healer first so the other person can't pot any hp back, sounds hilarious lol

thats why we always have 2 healers....

So what happens if a level 90 chinese character comes along and drops a meteor? But being 90 they probably wouldn't even need that either, is it even possible to job on there yet with so many fully farmed chinese 90's?

If the exp needed is just the same as chinese it'll be at least 6 months before it even starts to become a fair fight.

Look at the game all together. There are some huge problems when it comes to the PvP part of the game. Euro vs China players with pots. All you have to do is kill the healer.

Every game I have ever played. I play a cleric or a healing class. Its a fun class to start with but after a short time it becomes a very thankless job. You don't have good attacks, your a buff that everyone want to be kept buffed all the time, also if things go bad its always your fault. I play because I like helping people and I like the test of my skills keeping people alive. But all games at the high end always are short on healers. It takes a diffrent type of person to play the support role and to be able to stick with it over month2 or yeas. ( I played a cleric on EQ for almost 6 years)

I do have a question about loot items for Euro. Are items marked for a Class? Say a item drops and only a Cleric can use it? Or is it open to pretty much all classes. You will not be doing damage so your not going to get the kill and be able to pick up that item. Also does Euro SRO let the group know what item was picked up?


*Edit* tried to remove the ASSUME.

Has anyone seen or experienced the pvp between the classes or is this all spectulation and assumption? Can the classes actually pvp each other?

Oh I voted my chinese character. I want to finish him off all the way to 90 before even thinking of starting another character. But, I will definitely mess around with an euro class. I like the idea of group based. Takes me back to the good old days of GW.

Negativity... it's a beautiful thing.

FIrst of all, with players. Do you have that same problem with job wars or trade runs? Always manage to find someone dontcha. Even in KSRO where 99% of the ppl speak Korean and there are like ten parties listed, you can always find enough ppl to grind. As a matter of fact, I think it builds closer relations with ppl.

Now the PVP.. LOL You think its gonna be that easy to take out the healer? I hve buffs and heals that are faster than any pot. I also have some major tankability. THe nukers are stronger, the tankers are stronger. No one is well rounded, everyone is individually overpowered for their purpose. I tink any well built group is gonna be able to take on a group of CHinese and prevail with the same amount of chance as any opposing groups of Chinese.

I think everyone is missing the point with this talk of CHinese vs. Euro, who is better. THe makers of the game obviously thought of these things. THere are advantages to both.

Agreed, a good healer is going to always be the first targeted but the hardest to take down...

I do look forward to the Euro version but I'm not in a hurry. We've got a long ways to go. I do appreciate all of you bringing your experience of the version here. I get excited reading about all of you and the things you have experienced there. Thank you for the information.

Y.Y thas not always true ya know...ive been able to kill mobs before they get to me with a flick of a light nuke and a earth nuke ^_~

ALSO: ICE ISNT USELESS ANYMORE IN EURO!!! LIGHTNING IS NOW THE WEAKEST MAGIC FOR A WIZARD ICE IS 3RD STRONGEST then its earth then fire k ^_~

Ok I will wait and see.. Thanks for the info and I do like hearing more about this.

Stick to the questions then.

Also, I think its the harp characters or maybe the clerics. One of them has a skill that can keep you from using skills. Sleep skills, posion skills, other damage over time skills. Some str characters have attacks that can knock you down, attack while you are knocked down, stun, etc. There is also a shield skill that knocks you back 100%(from what I've experienced) of the time and it hits 3 targets. The Europe character self buffs are great too.

At lvl 20 I have a buff that increases my damage by 18 but decrease my phy and mag def by 75%. The max book increases it by 88. I was easily going over 1.2k damage at lvl 20 on criticals with that buff and since I use daggers I critical often. And these are just lvl 20 skills. I still have 15 more books to get and upgrade current skills. I have skill that, "it puts the features of the object which oneself selects and to use the shadow it copies oneself exactly together with features of the object." I'm assuming that means I can transform into you and use your skills.

364~445 (+87%)
294~359 (+87%) Attack while you are knocked down and cast a bleed like skill.
364~445 (+173%) 30% chance of stun for 5 secs.
364~445 (+122%) 2 status effects I have not experienced yet.
316~386 (+390%) 2 status effects I have not experienced yet.
364~445 (+115%) I can attack you while you are knocked down, cast the bleed skill wound or whatever, and a status effects I have not seen.

All my dagger attacks are quick so when I train I must get up close to the mob but I can use 2 skills before the mob even hits me and thats all it takes to kill the mob. And don't forget my 88 damage increase buff and party buffs.

After experiencing the game more, I think Europe characters will do great against Chinese characters. Chinese characters will most likely need those archers and spear nukers.

You sure you want to try and kill the healer first?

Items are marked by class I think. I know that I can't wear Chinese gear.

When me and my friends party we set it so it distributes the gold to everyone and items go to random people.
