Concerning the Ghostring Card

[Jinya]

I've been meaning to ask this since I still fail to grasp this since the Anima days back in '05.

Why exactly is Ghostring nerfed here? It only works for PvP/WoE, but not in PvM...why is that? I'm gonna assume MVP abuse would be a factor...maybe, but I'd like to hear an answer from someone else, at least to quell my curiousity. Even with the card, you'd still get very much pwned by MVP elemental attacks and the like, even moreso if you're complacent and use Deviling with it.

I'm pretty sure GR is like this on iRO. .-.

Hmm, i dont think it is but im not 100% sure so i cant really say but i can say that this is the only server that i've played on that GR only works in pvp/WoE.

[bensei]

im pretty sure its nerfed on every server like that. Gr would basically make you a god in pvm <.<

Deviling already reduce 50% to neutral attack, which is basically all monsters attacks. If GR was to work in PvM, that would make monsters damage so damn low that you wouldn't need extra defense gears.

Indeed, in one of the private servers I played on after I got sick of iRO, they actually had Ghostring that works in PvM, wow shit.

The dealie with GR in iRO though, it works exactly like the aRO copy, but only like a few people has it, those that do pwned the early parts of woe, especially if they had GTB as well.  (Good times, good times)

GR on PvM is retarded. Seriously think about it.
50% Reduction from Devi
75% reduction from GR
25% Reduction form Tirifing

You'd be taking around 9% neutral damage from medium monsters, and this is before we apply DEF to that >_>
How about we put a champ with steel body tanking with those gears? That's a fixed 90 DEF. So the 9% would be reduced to under 1% of damage.

And yes GR on official servers does work in PvM.

I've been wondering on another server instead of doing reduction they decided to give ghostring card to enchant ghost property on armor. As in neutral attacks will always miss.

I have. Its why some MVPs have slight tricks up their sleeves. You're wearing GR/Devi and you get a magic attack/elemental attack to the face. With the constant spam that certain MVPs do, GR won't be THAT helpful. Wear GTB to counter, and you still have to worry about the elemental attacks they have and the fact that you can't defend THAT well, armor wise, against it, due to GTB. I just wanted a few answers from other people, is all. Seems it IS MVP related, since the card is so widespread and easy to attain here.

Ghostring Card work in ***Ro..It has the "REAL" effect..*ghost type armor = can't be hit by neutral dmg*
and it work on every players and monsters too..except for magic lol

But then again, you can still get own from monster even with ghostring card -_-;;

maybe anthem should change it? 

Edited by Astatine: Removed name of other server.

[Jinya]

You'd still be hit, anyway, if it had its real effect, since GR only turns players to Ghost 1, not like mobs that can have Ghost 2-4. Anthem can leave it as it is. I was just curious.

[Moon Drifter]

wouldnt all the monsters in niff hit u with 1 in niff if GR was activated in PvM just wonderin?

[Aozora]

Well as I said you'd be reducing medium sized damage to about 9% You'd take pathetic amounts of damage from almost anything

Ghostring only works in PVP and player damage only. In inRO an official server a GM summoned MVPs into a PVP room. GR did not work with them. Its programmed to work that way now there are some eA servers that modify it to work in PvM but thats like a cheating code- you dont get damaged - you 'd make Satan morroc look like a poring - Elemental attacks are rare - its easy to pot those out before the next one.
