RF Philippines Episode 2 Features

August 1, 2007 · Filed Under Level Up, MMORPG News, RF Online 

Last Monday, July 30, Episode 2 for RF Online opened for the public as a beta in Omicron - RF’s test server. I already posted an article on how to download and install Episode 2 a while back.

This post is now about the many features of Episode 2 which you can experience in Omicron. I’m proud to finally say that after all the hard work with Keith and the RF team, we are finally seeing the fruits of our labor at long last!

Great job, guys!

Episode 2 features after the jump…

EPISODE 2 GAME FEATURES - NEW

The major attribute of Episode 2 is that it is that there’s an ITEM MALL (I’ll post more details about this soon). Here’s the other stuff

1. MAPS

A new continent has been discovered on the planet Novus. Scientists are currently referring to it as “Elf”. Scouts have been sent to find out more about this area, and the photographs they submitted reveal these furtive and intriguing sceneries.

Here’s a sample

2. ITEMS - the microsite has a disclaimer that these are still in the testing stage and subject to change

Same weapons as Normal, but has additional abilities.
• Type A : Additional Ability
• Type B : Standard Ability Increase
• Type C : Additional Ability + Standard Ability Increase + Level Limit adjustment
 
Ancient Item
Item used by Novusians against Ancient Herodians.
• Uniform : Only race leader/guild master can wear the uniform.
• Race Leader Uniform : Only Race Leader can wear this armor
• Guild Master Uniform : Only guild master can wear this armor.
• Leon’s Weapon
 
Relic Item
Most common soul weapon that was used in the past. (characteristic : activation)
• Special Weapon : Weapon made for Combat, Class Skill will be activated.
• Native Weapon : Strong Damage + Force will activate depending on the additional option and probability.
 
Majesty item
Ages ago, during the war with the Herodians, Taurus Shirine Union’s predictors gave this treasures to human beings because they wanted human beings to be their allies. (Not developed yet)

Ohter Item Changes

  1. [Expensive Race Armor/Weapon Vendor] Their item price has increased.
    • Armor/Weapon Crafting requires more components
    • Chance of crafting Intense Armor/Weapon has increased.
    • Loots have been removed from HQ Tool NPC’s selling list.
  2. Cure Grenade is added
    • Can be purchased from Platform Sundry Shop (Porty NPC) (to be verified. Elan or Ether)
    • 30 or higher level grenade launcher can use it.
  3. Excelsiar (not the piece) will not be dropped in Cauldron Volcano area anymore.
    • Excelsiar piece will be dropped as before.
    • Silver and Gold Catalyst price are greatly decreased.
  4. Ancient [Leon’s Weapon items] item now has higher attack point.
    • It is higher than intense weapons in the same level.
    • Min and Max damage has greater gap.
  5. Accretian’s elemental accessories no longer has detect ability
    • Normal accessories with detect option will remain the same.
  6. Level 50 Ancient [Leon’s Weapon item] item is added.
    • A piece will be given when completing level 50 raid battle dungeons.
    • Combining the pieces, you can get it in certain percentage.

Additional Items
Type C Armor and Shields

  • It is now possible to combine type C Armors and type C shields on Hero NPC.
  • Requirement Materials for Combination:
    • 1 pc of Type C Purple Excelsiar
    • 99 pcs. of Purple Excelsiars
    • 50 pcs. of Red Stones
    • Armor ability 50 for each option (actual ability list still needs to be verified)
    • +1 to +5 Favor Talic upgraded Class B Armor/Shield (The more favor the item has, the higher probability of success)
  • Armor Ability can randomly be acquired from the ability box. Ability box can be acquired from:
    • Can be acquired from Turncoats in the Sette Desert.
    • Can be acquired from monsters in Cauldron Volcano Area.
    • Can be acquired from monsters in Elan Area.
    • Can be acquired from pit bosses.
  • Red Stones can be acquired through ore processing (+3 ores)

3. NEW MONSTERS

The microsite says that “Scouts have reported sightings of a terrible new menace in Elan Plateau. No details have been released as of yet but we have intercepted a message with an image from an Accretian scout just before it was obliterated by the said monster.” Unfortunately, there are no stats yet about the new monsters. You’ll have to log in the game to find out. But don’t worry, as soon as gmtristan.com has more info, you’ll all know too!

What now?

Well… I can’t wait until I get my hands on the Catalog and Item List of stuff in the Item Mall. Hopefully, we will give test Galactic Credits (the game cash used to purchase stuff) to all players in Omicron VERY SOON. Once I get the final list of items and what they do, I’ll ask the RF team to update the site and I’ll also post it here.

I would love to hear your comments, thoughts or suggestions on how we can make Episode 2 better. Community feedback is essential. Especially in the area of pricing and rarity of the items. We would love to hear from you. Just comment below and I’ll make sure that the RF team hears about this.

Meanwhile, your best source of info would be the Episode 2 microsite, the RF Wiki and of course, the message boards.

Before I end this post, I’d like to congratulate and thank all those responsible for finally getting Episode 2 to the Philippines: BM Keith for leading the team and for being patient, CMs Gaia and new CM Cydie - for always being there and trying to stay firm and guiding our community, the RF Vanguards, Marc Reyes of course - for supporting us from the start, Game Manager Chino for being on top of things, Oliver T - for being our “secret weapon” when it comes to tech stuff, Pao and his ICT gang for keeping the game up and dealing with problems, the RF GM team, Quing and Product Dev for their valuable inputs and contributions, Project Management (Marissa and Alex) for keeping all in check, Andro and Custcare for their patience and understanding and of course our COO Pet, Marketing Director Jake and our CEO Jane for their guidance and words of wisdom. Lastly, I’d like to thank Apol and everyone at Sales for doing the “dirty job” and dealing with our players in the field (and doing the roll-out), and for Finance for giving me and the RF team much needed Moolah the run the entire operation.

Of course, we would also like to thank everyone at CCR for their patience and all the help!

 Thanks to all!!!

So, enjoy RF Episode 2!

Ciao,

GM T

    I will just suggest to have a site or a portion on the RF online ph site.. In which a Race Leader may give his plans for the chipwar.. what he wants his race to do and plan strategically how to win the chip war.. a site or a portion on RF online ph site.. that enables lvl 40 character to log in on it to know their plans to win the chip wars.. where the specific class should stay or guard and its all planned by the race leaders.. and only lvl 40 players are allowed to log in to avoid DDNM buggers to log in the site.. in this way race leaders will be more strategic and players will know wat the race leaders in mined in a chip war.. LETS MAKE RF ONLINE MORE STRATEGIC GAME!!

    can i ask a question?…..

    well pano ba makakapag upgrade ng weapon na hindi masisira ang weapon at magiging success ang weapon na inap-grade mo?……

  13. armoredcore002 on January 21st, 2008 8:13 pm

    gm tristan……

    badtrip naman bakit tinanggal sa npc yung mga basic loots na kailangan sa pag gawa ng ammo…..
    sana ibalik na lang lahat yun….
    kasi yung mga basic loots na yun mahirap makuha pag high level kana…..

    at sana itaas naman yung success rate na makakuha ka ng items pag nag fafarm ka…..
    mahirap magpapera eh….

    at saka sana may punishment ka pag pumatay ka ng ka race mo….
    kasi yung mga high level wala silang punishment kapag pumapatay sila ng mga same race nila kasi yung iba wala silang pakundangan kung pumatay eh….
    mahirap pa namang mag pa lvl up….

    at eto last na…..
    sana sa susunod na patch……..
    sana wala ng gaanong bug…..
    yun lang…..

    and more power…. ^^
