I am here since 3 years so it is not possible or you refer to something happened before. It is an event built inside the game. If the old team didn't know about it and just runned a similiar event without using the scripted event of the game, then i don't know 
The event assign the drop to your character ID, so you don't even need to pick it up.
They work exactly as last year and as the years before. Infact they never worked differently.
If the animations are broken, they are broken since the day one of this game, such as the holy sword that gets smaller when you cast aphotic shield. There is nothing much to do other than changing the animation or the 3d model of the item, which cost a lot of time and money for... nothing.
As for the skill, no we did not lower it or altered it in any way.
I can't say much on the NW / SW because Teirusu handle it, but as we don't think you guys are stupid (even less we have no favoritism over a nation instead of another), you guys should not think we are stupid either.
When there is a NW and some players rather than joining goes on v2 or other exp maps to occupy the room/spot, what better punishment than not giving any exp?
We stated many times that we dislike the greedness, we hate greedy people, we don't think a game should be played like a little shark trying to get advantages of every situation, and there are a lot of players like this. A game should be played for fun only, yes you can be competitive, but for god's sake there are limits.
So no, you should join NW to do some pvp and not for a reward. The reward is for our amusement watching you guys fighting as payment to spend hours of our Sunday helding the event. If there is no fun, then there is no reward. If the next time you decide to not join on purpose, there is a punishment.
To answer the "what do we do wrong", you should see the chats of some players against some others, during raid and national wars. That's what some of you guys do wrong.
Welcome
Since you are new you might be interested on this
All you need to do is following the instruction and respecting the terms written.
Yellows were more, it is just logical to move the less populated Kingdom.
It is not a bug that we can fix, certain poly marbles are simply not meant to be marbles, but they were implemented by the previous team for the sake of showing off "new things".
Just use the normal ones, the purple icon ones and you won't have this problem.
You have quite messed things up, thats not Teirusu, isn't too hard to read a name or is it? And warriors does not do 0 damage, even because the minimal damage in game is 1, but they still won't do 1, even when removed.
They will do lower damage, but this is normal, everybody have warrior or sura gears equipped during raids, because they are the most used class,
Pierce formula is just messed up since the game was born and of course it does not ignore the resistance but just the AC. However instead ignoring AC, it also add a damage depending by how much AC your character has.
To be clear if you have 1000 AC, you will suffer 1000+ the damage that you get if your AC is equal to 0.
You guys asked a natural physic motion for metin2, and you were granted, despite metin2 and law of physic does not go along too much. But as i feared it is not about physic, it is about the fact that now you lose instead of win. And it is sad. Archers and Heal mage have two skills that raise the movement speed, by stucking them like you did in the past, these skills are useless. And no the solution is not to give them new skills, is to not let them stuck lol.
Also bare in mind that all classes had unfair power up to compensate the brain damage idea of adding 700 AC and 300 AP with bio quests, so even if now you may think some class are stronger than others, it is because the balance is not done yet.
We are removing the auto attack, but just for pvp. On pvm it will work.
I never called anybody fool. I suggest you to read my replies properly before adressing meanings that are not there. When i used the term fool, i was speaking about myself just to be clear lol.
The balance is not over. You already expressed your feedback regarding this, even resorting to insult those who does not agree with you, I believe it is enough. You don't like this particular change. Noted. Move on now
No nobody who suggest things sucks lol, I may disagree with some suggestions but i keep them in mind. Sometimes a suggestion has bad points and good points, and i take the part that i like. Sometimes i think a suggestion is bad, but then i analize the game and I change idea. Again, only a fool does not change mind.
If you take zero resistance case, then ghost attack in 3 times stronger than shaoling stance and at least 2 times stronger than whirlwind. We are speaking about top pvp or at least normal pvp. I doubt that a player who has p skills has also zero resistance.
Why all hates the 6 skill? Poison cloud is the weakest in term of damage, it may deal more damage cause it deals magic attack, but the 6th skill is stronger than rapid attack, with the exception that rapid attack get a boost from stealth.
And again you are talking about now. How many times I have to say that the balance has just begun? Why can't i get a little trust instead of these silly complains? It is really so frustrating.
I read it Skyquake but again, making your character fall and get buggy again just for doing a skill that it was never meant to do 3x damage, is not ok imho.
Display Moreyou even said yourself when i was writing my post. That you wanted to change this way body/mirage being good in everything or im blind?
-i get this complain too, using auto attack, but 90% of the time is not even choosed on my left click. i just use it for metins. and i dont care what they say. the only thing matters, i win or i lose
-is not like who finishes combo first, wins. So how i win vs body wars as a mirage sura when remove doesnt work? i you didnt know, you can dodge your enemy with skills. if you use skills with good timing then you wont see the sky only
-i agree, normal hits are just OP, and thats why u gonna nerf the pierce too, if is still not enough, i said better solutions needed. Why are you so closed to advices?
-again its not like im mirage and i wanna rape more with sword hits. But like i dont like seeing two warriors dueling in same coordinate
No i said that is stupid that some class are good at everything and some are bad at everything, and that i wanted to balance. Not that i somehow have a thing against suras lol.
Because as i already said, the auto attack does not cause any effect, it just make it all easier.
Who stun lock the opponent first always win. Also few players miss the skills but the najority don't, expecialy melee character, because once they stun lock all they need to do is pressing the skill button and they will hit.
I am opened to advices, but remember that this server was closing before my arrival because it was based on player's suggestions and many of them were just crazy. You can't relay on what the players tells you to do all the times, because they usually suggest stuff that power up their character ignoring the rest.
What you can do about people who claims i mod items and love a particular nation? Nothing, but don't add to the list that i love a class
The assassin, at least the dagger, is far better on pvm than a mage or a black magic sura. By far. On pvp, in raids, is deadly. Many players can die from 1 backstab, Ghost attack, due to the skill formula, stealth skill and back damage bonus is the strongest skill on the entire game.
This is not a translation done with our ass, is taken directly from the korean. "Whirl around enemies with daggers", this is a clear description of what this skill does. It doesn't say 3x damage on enemy, nope, it says exactly what it is supposed to do, to hit enemies lined up that are coming to you.
Also read the yellow description, Splash attack. Splash attack is a description that some skill has, like Dragon Roar, it is used when a skill hits AOE, or multiple target but in a specific zone.
That skill is not meant to do what it did on these years, even the Shaoline Stance cleary states that they are 3 hits, but the damage is split by 1/3.
So the spinning daggers combo makes the game realistic? Ok 
What tactics? Do you really think that us GMs do not watch you guys playing in the Shadows? You know how many times two warriors duel "hey no auto bro, is for nabs"
There is no tactic, the first who finish the combo wins and the other can't even enjoy a duel but enjoy the sky because he is flying in mid air. Tactics and strategy are for games which have rollings, parry with shields, teleport and many other things. Metin2 is just about items and pressing 6 hotkeys for skills. At least, in duel. In raid, there might be more strategy because you need to coordinate with others.
Whats the point on raising the skill damage of those class, if the stun lock prevents them from casting skill? It doesn't just prevent you to move, it prevents you to skill too. I can give you a nuke, but if you can't press the button to use it, is useless.
Last but not least, I am sick and tired of these silly accusations regarding:
- Players
- Nations
- Classes
I don't care if you are blue red or pink, i don't care whats your nick in game and i don't care what class you use. I have no prejudices or preference for any of you. I may like some of you and dislike some others, as every human being in this world, but i treat all of you in the same way. I don't place any like or dislike on the forum for this precise reason.
From time to time i get accused of something just because SOME of you players disagree with certain changes. I got accused of modding items, which is a double insult cause you either think i am dirty or an idiot. Only an idiot with limited access would mod items, they can be tracked, i would add a hidden bonus on the character itself and none of you would notice.
Then i got accused of prefering a nation because of the national bonus exp, even if it is clear that i don't held the event.
Now you claim i did this change because i somehow dislike the sura being the best on pvm and pvp? I am a weapon sura ingame, I test the updates using a weapon sura, and my favorite class is the weapon sura.
All I care is making the server better. You don't agree with the choices? Ok good, but don't search silly conspiracy theories.
Nobody said it, because "suck" is a bit too much and because i suppose players got so used to it that they consider it normal lol, but the truth is that an average dragon mage had about zero chances to beat an average warrior or sura. Only if the mage had far better items he/she would win. With the healer was different because one skill was modded in the past by the previous team, but without it, would be the same. Considering that these 2 classes are hard to raise and they get beated up badly in pvp by the second best class on pvm, i'd say things were not ok before and the warrior and sura were the overpowered one, being good in everthing.
Sorry but, if you need more time to level up and then you sucks at pvp, whats the point of picking up that class?
Also this egomaniac philosophy that apparently is only here, on Metin2, that you should pick the best pvp class, is a nonsense to me. In every game you take the race that you like, despite if it sucks in pvp or not. You want magic? Black magic sura. You want to be fast? Body warrior. You want big boobs? Mage.
Usually on a good MMO the tiers changes every year or so, so what was strong the past year, may not be so strong on the next. Does players behave like a kids and rant to quit all the times for this? No, they keep on playing. But here, everything becomes crap if is even a tiny bit weaker than before. It is a really bad way of see things imho.
Also is not a matter of begging. Only a fool does not change mind, I certanly am not one and I changed mine many times on things that i did not want to do here, see for example the shop box.
All I am saying is to wait until the balance is done.
You can't disagree with the fact that those classes are weaker on pvm. You just can't. Of course they can still kill mobs, the server is easy and the game does not require any skills but just items, but the amount of time to raise one to 105 is a lot lot more than raising a body warrior or a weapon sura.
And anyway in every mmo ranged class are the strongest on pvp.
You never complained about the stun lock because the average player accused the auto attack. They though that "thing" called External force, was caused by the auto attack. Is not, is what is called stun lock and it works with or without auto, auto attack just make it easier to happen.
You are barely 60, it is too early to speak about being on the TOP of pvp.
Budokan winners does not reflect the true nature or status of the pvp here. You may disagree with the choices, but you can't disagree with the fact that Budokan is played only by people who has a chance of winning. So yes it may happen that a black magic sura wins or an archer wins, but does this means that ALLLLLL of them will always win? No, it means that a particular player has stronger items. The same is for the healer class. The heal spell was altered by the previous team with a 120% boost, currently it heals 15-20k (because like every skill, it can crit)
If you noticed on this thread i wrote that it was nerfed. Unfortunately we forgot to move some files and is not, but it will, apologies for that, but pointing out the heal despite we already said many times that the skill is overpowered and is going to be nerfed, is pretty silly. The balance is not over, it just begun.
The message "if you don't like it, go elsewhere" is refered to those particular rude and unpolite players, that always think they can blackmail us with "if you don't change it, i quit". Is not with these kind of remarks that you give a feedback. That message is also refered to the players who does not want any changes. They want to log, stay on map1, win some pvp and log out. No new items, cause they don't want to farm again for the new items, no new system, because they don't want to deal with new stuff.
The current situation is not good and a change is needed. You spoke about time and money and what not, but if the server close, isn't it worse?
So for all the players who do not want anything new, this is not the place. For the players who think they have some kind of leverage or they think they can scare us like they did with the previous team, is not gonna work.
As for the classes, the ranged class are supposed to be better in pvp, because they are not the best on pvm. Have you ever exped a mage or a black magic sura? You can't say that they are easier than other classes like weapon sura or body warriors. So their advantage should be pvp. Back in the days, which was the strongest pvp class in duel? It was the black magic sura, by far. But after the adding of 66 armors, with magic resistance built on armour and the liquids, it changed everything.
I saw 2 warriors falling back on their ass in duel, AT THE SAME TIME, it was just too retarded to watch, it was like watching Anakin vs Obi using the force. I saw people trying to escape and getting dragged back like if they were stabbed with an harpoon. I saw players flying in mid air unable to move or perform skill but just ranting the "auh auh auh auh" moan, until they just die.
I am pretty sure that if you are the player who inflict this and win the duel, you would be super pissed if an update removes you this, but on the other hand, the player who suffered all this would be super happy.
