Royal Guard??? I though it will be Sorcerer this Month? o.O

OOHHHH YEAH§!!

Heheh, I knew Royal Guard was goina end up being released next. Perty strange that the news was posted so early. The patch notes are usually posted on the kRO website around 4 AM and Doddler translates and posts it on the iRO wiki forums at around 10 to 12, but he posted it between 5:30 and 6 today. A first I think.

Anyway, Royal Guards are goina be a intresting job I think. The said so called 2-handed shields is what im intrested in seeing. Those shields must be huge to require holding with 2 hands.....how would someone go fighting welding a huge shield??? Also looking at this note about a anger guage, which is used to dish out strong attacks.

FUCK YEAHHH

WAITING ON MY TOES FOR SPRITES BABY

Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit.

I'M SO EXCITED!!!!

They better not fuck these sprites up.

BEST.... CLASS... EVER....

HOLY ***** THAT IS SOME HOT SPRITES.

Gravity didnt fail on this one.

So.. they merged an RK, a GX, and Mechanic together to create a female RG. awesome. </sarcasm sort of I mean she'd look better if she wasn't wearing an iron thong>

Otherwise, male RG looks pretty fucking sweet except DAT LEG ARMOUR looks kind of gay.

I don't have any other qualms. The griffons are pretty badass.

Excelent Sprite..

i pooped a little from excess joy...

Sprites aren't terrible. Anyone can see the whole "steel bikini" thing from a mile away, and the male RG looks a little skinny in some frames, but it isn't god-awful. The gryphon looks nice, and, even better, doesn't have golfball eyes.



I severely doubt that Gravity ever went forward with the whole 2-handed shields idea. The whole concept seems a little hard to pull off anyways.

Woah 100% verynice sprite of Gravity Nice Job

Also, something I noticed, unrelated to RG:

Gravity has done something right
Im gonna wet my panties -drools-

Gryphons fly right? Would ground skills affect them?

Wings flap only when walking...

@_@

THEY GET A F--KIN' GRIFFON!!!!


where can I get that sprite?!?!?!

Sprites came from this patch file on the kRO Official Patch Server

2009-08-26rdata_k.gpf

ftp://ragnarok1-gravity.ktics.co.kr/Patch

for Username and Password, the Search Button will be of service...

Here's a video someone made.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHpM25jl5_Y

asdoausfo! COOOOOOOOOL! I want that sprite! I hope rms character simulator will update it soon.. XD

I ran some of the Korean through a translator. Maybe this helps if you can't wait...



ps- Why does the female RG have high heels? >_<

Updated the skill translations in my last post with the latest from Doddler.

Sprites looks great, but still - skill icons rotation...little disappoionting, but good job anyway, better than Brasilis mobs (lame, boring, copied-i can't believe they get paid for that).
Looking forward for Sorcerer who imo will be released as the last one.

BEST.... CLASS... EVER....

Wondering why gryphon looks so small on RG... The wild gryphon was much bigger I guess...

how to get mount on gryphon??
npc or skill??

Royal Guard Skill Tree:

NPC atm..

OH SNAP !!

The most awesome class ever.... it's even more cool than... well it's more cool than anything.

Cool, awesome sprites. Does RMS have 3rd jobs yet?

And my patcher failed to update to this version today, it keeps crashing during repack.

Finally Gravity did once a good job on the sprites, except for some little things, like the chain mail bikini and the High Heels o.o
But besides that I like the new sprites very much

. Edited

Another video, quite a weird one too. Crank up your speakers when you watch this one. xD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy9KmGLCPWs...re=channel_page

I just tried updating my kRO again. But it still keeps crashing. I wonder why.

Updated my grf with the latest Royal Guard sprites

http://www.eathena.ws/board/index.php?showtopic=221902

i like all the work gravity produces its always consistenly good. they are jsut making the classes look better, half naked girls = :]
they havent failed with any of the new job sprites, they are all jsut breath taking.

Wow gravity fantastic sprites!!!

I love them!!! Realy great work I think on them works new Gravity peoples

Anyone else feel that their skills are insanely over powered?
i mean come on...
Reflect, Hit any users in 11 cells in a line in front of u, Disable traps.

I mean sure it sounds great but how over powered do you think some users will make these?
Even more so for those private servers trying to add 3rd classes to current eA (not going to name any names >.> you know who you are though).

very, very, very nice!

Nice work gravity ^^

I Should agree, those Royal Guard's skill are too strong in my opnion too, I Think Gravity need to check it again.

Beautilful sprites and gryphon.

Very nice.

I still doubt any offensive value to paladins have been added and it's further placed in a defensive role (not that that is a bad thing)

I find them to be less boring
since episode 12 any offensive oriented paladin was rather made redundant, this gives a new breath to those paladins
paladins generally don't have huge sp pools so it isn't really spammable

I find their skills to be relativly balanced

You don't think that Arch Bishop and Shura are both too strong?

With a party of 3 Arch Bishop & 6 Shura, even if you had 5 extra lifes & 10 comrades helping you that are not Arch Bishop or Shura, you can't win.

I swear dogmatic pronouncements such as this make RO incredibly fun
