Otherwise, I've gotten to look at some parties for OGH and am buffing a few maps respectively while nerfing/adjusting some strategies might tip the scales of these maps too hard in their favor. If these maps are still weak after the buffs, we will likely give them a 2nd round of buffs.
  
As some of you may have already realized, there's an animation advantage on the kRO/4th job, job rings for the reverberation skill which makes it more spammable than we originally thought possible. (our initial testing was done with base sprites for gypsy/clown.)
+
==Test Server Changes==
  
As such you'll see below adjustments for the skill's ratio. But also we have to come up with some kind of a solution for the animation conflict. We've tried many things but for some reason the animation seems forced in the client for us even after editing client side files, source, and more. The TLDR of this is that job rings are a big headache for us relating to this skill.  
+
1.) Can now @go 37 to warp to training dummies.
  
We really don't want the rings to be pay to win, and while we do have a solution that works server side, it would make the skill even less spammable than the gypsy/clown version of the skill that was already less popular with players.
+
2.) Can now @go 38 to warp to just outside the morocc inn.  
  
We'll be embracing the spammable version of the skill, and until we can find a suitable way to remove the animation or force a specific animation that we desire for all the rings to normalize everything across all of them (usually the rings do not have any effect on gameplay) we feel the only thing we can do is make sure everyone gets a job ring for free for clown/gypsy so they are not a pay to win feature.
+
==Skill Adjustments==
 
 
To be clear, we will continue to try to find a more permanent solution to the issue, but for now this is our way of ensuring that the rings are not pay to win for the sake of integrity with the cash shop.
 
  
You can claim them upstairs in the main office from the npc next to the plagiarism npc. Note that you can only have one per performer, and they are master account bound to prevent scam scenarios of people trying to pass them off as normal job rings. (they can only be worn by clown/gypsy).

Short maintenance while we continue to prepare for the transition to the latest rathena. Night Watch is underway soon and hopefully the next patch will be A3. For now, this one includes some adjustments to Reverberation to normalize the balance between all the job rings so theres no advantage by using the 3rd/4th costume rings.

Otherwise, I've gotten to look at some parties for OGH and am buffing a few maps respectively while nerfing/adjusting some strategies might tip the scales of these maps too hard in their favor. If these maps are still weak after the buffs, we will likely give them a 2nd round of buffs.
