ANNOUNCEMENT ON OPTIMIZATION OF 4TH JOB CLASSES

We would like to share with you the feedback we have received, along with the plans for adjustments in the future updates. A version adjustment is expected to roll out around mid-to-late October. Some adjustments require longer testing and will be updated at a later time.

➤ Rune Knight

We have noticed many adventurers have reported that Rune Knight's melee performance is not ideal, and its damage in PVE is poor. This is due to the large movements and animation of some skills (such as Dragon's Breath, Rapid Stab, etc.) This affects the performance of the damage.

We expect to adjust the capabilities of some of these skills in late October, and we hope this will help Rune Knight perform better.

➤ Ranger

Many adventurers reported that the Ranger's damage was significantly higher than other jobs, affecting the performance and popularity of other jobs. We will evaluate it, along with the adjustment plans of other professions, and adjust skills keeping balance in mind.

➤ Mechanic

We noticed that the cooldown time of some of the Mechanic's skills is too long, such as the CD skill for turret upgrade, which affects their performance. We will continue to optimize and adjust skills while ensuring job balance.

➤ Warlock

Adventurers have reported that the Warlock in the current version needs optimization and adjustments. Due to their more complex gameplay, performance in PVP scenarios is adversely affected. In PVE, the casting of continuous combination skills has a small window for errors and is easy to fail. The long casting time of skills also affects the experience of adventurers.

The overall optimization plan for Warlocks is still being tested. We hope to greatly optimize the user experience and continue to update the skills of the Warlock to make it easier for adventurers to operate.

➤ Guillotine Cross

Adventurers have reported that the current version fails to highlight the characteristics of the Guillotine Cross' basic attack and critical strike, and the skills do not feel smooth. We look to strengthening the Venom and Violent Poison styles of combat for them.

We will adjust the Guillotine Cross' output performance to make it more in line with the Assassin's positioning.

➤ Arch Bishop

Adventurers reported high overall satisfaction with the Arch Bishop, but there is still room for optimization. For example, connection skills are often interrupted unexpectedly, connection patterns are not obvious, as well as other user experience issues. Therefore, we will continue to adjust the Arch Bishop's user experience, correct unbalanced skills, and hope these will provide adventurers with a better experience.

The content mentioned above does not represent the final adjustment plan. We will adjust based on multiple testing conditions and will also consider the feedback and suggestions of adventurers to more rigorously test and adjust the content of the 4th job classes. We are currently still testing and adjusting, hoping to bring a more interesting and fun experience to adventurers.

RUNE KNIGHT BALANCE UPDATES

The following adjustments were not listed in the previous patch notes for the maintenance on Sep.25th yet have already been implemented in-game. We apologize for the omission.

➤ Skill Adjustment

Gale Blade: Converts magic power, dealing 250% + 40 Neutral Physical Damage to targets within the range. (Originally 500%)

IMPORTANT NOTICE Regarding Ragnarok Origin NA

Greetings Midgardians,

We are pleased to announce important changes regarding Ragnarok Origin NA (ROONA). We have always strived to deliver the best player experience possible, with a variety of new events, constant updates, implementing player feedback and more.

The Ragnarok Origin franchise currently serves players across various regions, including the United States and Canada, and is being played all across the world. However, we’d like Ragnarok Origin to be enjoyed and experienced by even more players.

As such, we plan to launch Ragnarok Origin as a new and expanded service, including not only North America, but also Latin America. The new-look Ragnarok Origin, ROO:Ragnarok Origin, will be redesigned to provide even-greater reliability and will also launch with a dedicated PC client featuring cross-play functionality. Players will be able to enjoy larger communities and expanded content with a larger playerbase from this expanded region. ROO:Ragnarok Origin will be launched as a completely new game and will run separately from the current ROONA. The new ROO:Ragnarok Origin will begin pre-registration in December, with it launching in January 2024.

To make way for the all-new ROO:Ragnarok Origin, ROONA will cease to be offered on the mobile app stores, due to the policies of the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. ROONA will be taken off the mobile app stores in early December.; we will update again when the exact date is confirmed. What’s important to remember is that players will still be able to play and download ROONA via our website after ROONA is no longer available on the mobile app stores. Also, events and services for ROONA will continue even after the new ROO: Ragnarok Origin is released.

Unfortunately, due to the technical limitations, we are unable to carry over any data or progress from ROONA to the upcoming ROO:Ragnarok Origin service. In light of this, ROO:Ragnarok Origin will have a special incentive program for ROONA players who opt to transition to ROO:Ragnarok Origin. More details about this incentive program will be provided in the future.

Our goal is to bring an improved Ragnarok Origin experience to more players across the world while providing more choices for existing players. We look forward to moving towards the next chapter of our Ragnarok Origin journey with all of our dedicated fans and players, and we always appreciate your support.
