heRO SvN Update

[GM-Pandora]

Everyone screams "svn plz" and then we always get a lot of complaint due to what svn change brings XD Gotta take the good with the bad remember. And we're doing what we think is best for the server, thanks for the suggestions nonetheless, the "waterlogged card album" is actually quite interesting and I'll consider it.

In regards to battleground, I'm not opposed to having it after some change, I think if implemented right it could greatly improve the pvp which is lacking on hero, I was also enthousiastic when you Nidsrule offered to make your own version of it for heRO specifically. But "as is" is not an option we want to go with. Therefor, in order to actually release the svn there are features we had to cut because we don't feel they are adequate as they are and if we wait to have modified everything we'll never release the update at all. The same with woe2 and some other features, we're interested in eventually doing something with them so they become good assets of heRO.

As for the battleground rewards, since the website Ardney pointed to doesn't have the actual stat bonus you can check this one if you're curious:

I've taken a look at it, and in addition to believing some of those to be overpowered, there are parts of them that simply cannot be scripted currently on eAthena, some of the items cast skills that don't exist yet in the svn, or give an effect when casting another skill which is also unlikely to be coded already, I think other things arent possible yet, such as bypass of magic defense on demi-human only, etc. This doesn't mean we're not getting Battlegrounds ever, but we'll take the time to adjust how it works and what it gives.

tldr: hang in there, we're trying to come up with the best for heRO ^_^

Jugger: yes you're right, we used it in an arc event, cool looking map.
