Are we getting fewer players?

General Discussion
#1

So I have turned out to be a “casual” tos player as of lately. By casual means just doing a few dailies and then logging out (sometimes I even feel lazy doing 3 saalus for the shard bonus chest).

I feel like ToS is not yet dead but it is slowly becoming unappealing not just to new players but mostly to old players (which I assume is almost everyone still playing the game). Challenges are the same, everything is basically just a dps race, gearing stresses the f out of everybody, pvp system is unbalanced and something to laugh at if you actually compare it to other mmorpgs…

I love this game, made me busy and preoccupied for a very long time and was fun to play… But have we reached what ToS has to offer…? I used to support the game buying TP, never RMT’d and just played hardcore until I achieved everything I had on my list…

Point is, I reckon if IMC wants to keep the game a live for couple more years to come, they have to keep it interesting to keep players spending money on it and to keeo them… I recently have been playing another famous fps game and in just a week I atleast spent $250 aud primarily for a good gaming surround headset… And here I am can’t even open mt wallet for 100 TP for ToS because I ask myself “for what?”

Nowadays, create and design an awesome game and people will throw money at it… Make good game and keep your players hanging and waiting all the time for better gaming experience and you will lose them gradually

Have a nice day everyone

I bought 100TP exactly once. The choice on how to spend it was really easy: 3 character slots. Because if you don’t know what to do at one point, you still can try different builds. New classes come out at a regular pace (Onmyoji and Retiari couple months ago, now Exorcist and Pied Piper, probably more to come), and looking at the world map, there’s still 20-25% more maps to unveil. I just hope to see the “finished product” in a matter of months instead of years, because the player base won’t wait forever for that… You can get Giltine wings from gatcha cubes, but I’m not interested in that. What I want… is to get her wings from her dead corpse :smiling_imp:

I’m giving me another break. Not sure if will ever come back at this point. Spent way too much time and some money in a game that is still “in development”.

From day one I knew optimization would be a problem, as well as pvp. Like seriously I feel genuinely lol by people that organize guilds entirely for “pvp content”.
Also, game updates are way too few and rare. We’ve been waiting for the Archer rework for years. Hunter is unplayable, scout, rogue… They changed falconer (which was their fault at first place. The expand attribute crashing the entire server), mergen and ranger… That’s it. None of the critical changes we wanted.
During the “big wizard rework” alchemist was left behind in a corner. And until this moment nothing was done to fix the homunculus amazing idea, but ■■■■ execution.
Last time silute (always silute) had freezes every 5 minutes. Server side freezes and everybody knew.
So, I don’t wanna wait for more years, months or whatever to be able to play the game I wished it was. Also, adding more and more daily content and more endgame weapons isnt actually end game. You’re going to break the weapons when refining anyway, and you gonna see ppl linking +30 in chát.no big deal.

Don’t get me wrong, they may actually like it due to the game’s cartoonish style and such but still… They will just end up like us soon, feeling the nothingness of the game…

#6

Yeah I agree, the game patches up like we are still in open beta and this literally f*ks builds people choose maybe because “hey this is cool i want this” or “seems good I promise to invest my time on this path”. Then next thing you know your build is worthless

I think maybe they are stretching it too much. When will they release good, quality content/updates? When player count is a few hundred?

Yeah, I personally came from a heavy pvp mmorpg for years before and it shut down… And when I look at this game’s pvp mechanics, it’s child’s play… All you need is a build and right class and you are “good in pvp”. srysly

yes, gearing system in this game is absolute madness.
they keep adding more and more RNG layer and don’t know when to stop.
it’s a shame really. another beautiful game ruined by bad decisions.

Yes, extremely cute chars with high end gear for afk lol jk :smiley:

#12

Coz that is the only way they think will “challenge” players to make them farm better gear, only to end up in the same cycle

Personally I am not against RNG but atleast give us a real reason to work hard for it

#13

YES, after bloody investment on attribute, they nerf it, i remember my SR3 died at ET beacuse imc change meltis mech, and it end up become dungeon 145 farmer.

imo this game its to grate for the own developers,
i mean, they launch this game with some bait concepts like “a mmorpg with over 50 class and hundred of builds” but since the beggining it was only a few usefull (like 3 class and only 10 build ) and untill now tis the same im proportion.
thats about the game concept and plus that we have all those problems due the server lag their own errors and glitchs and the RTM

#15

SR kept being useful in ET and many places. It just stopped being op with people abusing mechanics and without ever learning to play the class.

My main complaint about SR is how it went from “AoE god” to “your generic auto-attack class” >.>

#16

AOE god reserved for wizards only :haha:

I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but I play to mess with all the different circles.

(Rank reset when)

#17

For end game players there’s only 2 things to do
Farm velcoffer for gear
Farm silver for re-rolls, anvils, powders, ichors etc

It’s pretty boring and repetitive even by mmorpg standards
So until we get new content expect those numbers to keep dropping

#18

This is what I am literally always saying…

And yeah by mmorpg standards it is pretty boring…

“massively multiplayer online rpg” but we are restricted doing basically every content by party of 5’s…? Solmiki, CM, Velcoffer? They did introduce GvG but is it working? I once joined my guild gvg and I spent an hour standing at an entrance and did nothing!

/20 sad emotes

#19

that was i get after that, back then scout was 145 dungeon farmer and it dead alont that big patch, and ton of scout3 reroll to SR as dun 145 clear, im often joined publc parties. what i got is bad mouth and they just look down about my class eventough im aredy try hard to did the best for parties, i tried to ignore it but well im human, my patience lost haha. i play at sea server, you know lah how sea server condition.

i still play my sr till now but not as main and sometimes when i joined party a random ppl said “wow ppl still play sr ye this time?” hu3.
