Omg all I'm seeing is "Everybody wants to make it easier", READ WHAT WE ARE SAYING! We just want it to be POSSIBLE. It is 100% impossible to ever obtain those books. Make them hard to get (No Gach/buying) just make them available!
So ask that they fix HT, not that they make it easier for you. It's not 100% impossible to EVER obtain the books, once HT is fixed it's entirely on the players to get them. And don't cry about HT not working either, because there's no way you guys can kill it right now. Once you get a realistic party that can kill HT, come and whine if it's still bugged, but until then stop complaining.
You still need something to look up to. and Annie told me last month, that HT is definitely possible in the up and coming months.
I like the idea of 30 books dropping from the other bosses at a low rate. I think that is a good start since ht is glitched and cant be beaten . BPQ is a lot of fun and i hope it gets coded in.
Even for non bishops if you put in the effort. >_> I wouldn't say that for just one class. Just take a look at the experience table and the exp curve at higher levels. http://www.scribd.com/doc/20577159/MapleStory-Experience-Tables
You can't say that it's the same for any job when you have a skill that gives you more exp. It's harder for some other classes due to the difference in the skills, so if you're a Corsair (I'm giving Cosrairs as an example because we currently have 4 bugged skills, and it also the only job that I've been experienced on in Royals.), it will be slower for you even if you put the same effort in it.
In the up and coming months. And that is provided that you maintain the current players who are able to kill HT and get a pretty good supply of new ones, and then you manage to coordinate something where you can get enough of these people who live in different time zones all across the world online at once. There's still A LOT of work to be done before you can HT. Like I said, once you have a realistic party in place, if HT is still bugged come whine then but until then you have no way to justify asking for another way to obtain books.
But how are we suppose to practice HT and teach those new players how to run if it doesn't even work in the first place. I'm pretty sure even now we can get 2 decent parties. Party 1: Marksman Dick Laszlo Illuminate Zoink Momorii Party 2: Mighty Prideful Zycrophynt Pact Gordon Updawg/Lullatone (not in any order, just listing 2 parties)
I never said it was the same for any class, I admit it's easier for bishops at least at first, but each class has it's advantages. The best forms of exp at high levels is bossing, which bishops are horrendous at. You'll get more exp soloing bf or aneago than you will grinding at skeles. So sure, it's easy for bishops, but that doesn't mean it's so much harder for other classes, which was my point.
Have any of you tried actually doing Horntail on your own? I would not like to see another word about how it's bugged if nobody's tried it yet, thanks. I've been actively trying to coordinate a few people to attempt to see how far we can get with Horntail, and find any bugs that it may have. We (as players) cannot sit here and expect things to get fixed when we don't even know if bugs still exist. And furthermore, this thread has gone way off topic. To address the initial point of the OP; these books will not be accessible in any manner outside of Horntail runs simply because, as you put it, they are the last few books we need . If and when the time comes that staff decides there is a bug too severe to fix for Horntail, then we may reconsider this decision. Thanks for your feedback.
http://royals.ms/forum/showthread.php?t=2082&highlight=horntail There you go. The main points are: 1) Seduce is random and we have yet to see a party seduce. Which is a main point of Horntail. 2) Graphics are buggy, sometimes left/right pre-heads spawn on each other & most people DC in 5 minutes of being in horntail. 3) Wyverns spawn on the initial stages of horntail (when they are not suppose to) 4) GM Christine mentioned that after being dispelled at horntail wyverns (while holding down MG) she was immediately killed. According to other people, you are actually given like a 1 second invincibility after being dispelled? If this is so, then Mages are going to die instantly at horntail and without RES and wheels, horntail would be close to impossible. 5) Still haven't tested Heroes Will To be honest, since horntail hasn't been tested for 2 months, I recommend a group of beta testers to test horntail with normal level 180 characters on the test server since HTPQ is a bother, aswell. (The group of people should range from all operating systems to check if any of them are not compatible). If you agree with this decision then I would be delight to come, just to test Horntail. Even if these bugs haven't be tested in 2 months, they definitely would not have fixed themselves, so it's safe to assume they still exist. Thank you for reading.
3) Can confirm Wyverns do spawn here. 4) When Mark, Amy and I went into HT for shits I remember having time to buff after getting dispelled. But I do have this problem getting dispelled at Manon.
That image taken from this link. My responses in bold. I'm sorry if I came off as rude, but you can't use information that you don't know is true. PS: If you're going to test out HT, I'd suggest finding people who don't use Macs, because I just know someone's going to say that HT is glitched because people get MAC DCs. We are trying our best to fix that Mac DC, so unless you know how to fix it, please be patient, because we're doing our best.
