Just wanted to say, I’m really enjoying this game, it’s very fun and there are heaps of class combinations, which is the game’s selling point and what distinguishes it from similar mmos. Here are a few positive things I like, and that the dev team should promote even further.
-
I just love class variety and all the class costumes. So many to choose from! FOMO. Spending hours trying to find the right class combination.
-
Re:build really did this game favor, it seems too complicated before r:b. You made the right choice.
-
Class quests would have been nice as well (I know they were removed, but perhaps we could still run some quests for our class masters, they feel a bit void at present). I want to engage more with my class masters though it’s nice how we can advance quickly to a class without prerequisites. Maybe add the initial class advancement quests as side quests after you’ve advanced to a class?

It’s also great how you can customize your build with different combinations and make thematic builds. Looking at the top 100 builds, you can see there are thematic builds like spear user, elemental wizard, cannon user, shield user, summoner, etc. Class combination and meta is ok, but it’s more about thematic builds for me, even if they don’t synergize perfectly.
-
I love shop/crafting classes, great idea! Player shops are useful and cheap. Definitely how crafting should be handled, it’s so boring in other mmos.
-
I like how Scouts, Swordsmen and Archers have a wide variety of weapons to choose from, allowing different builds.
-
However, scouts do feel like a mess, since they stole classes from other trees, so they end up a conglomeration of classes that don’t fit well with each other thematically (e.g. thaumaturge and pirates). Give back the classes you stole, scouts!
-
It’s great how wizards can choose all the different elements to use, with at least one class per element, and spice it up with summons etc. Chronomancer? Wow. Not that useful in combat imo, but still the concept is great.
-
My favorite class tree is the clerics I just love the religion theme. I love how only these classes can self-heal, and also how we are the only legit hybrid class, can either go physical or magical. Even our maces, our signature weapons, reflect this trait. Great that 2h maces are available for all clerics. Maces are interestingly our unique weapon.
-
It’s great how mounts are optional, and the core focus of some classes, reflected even in their skills. I also like that not everyone can mount. Since clerics are the only class without a mount, may I ask to bring back the scrapped Shepherd class? They should be a riding class. This will also give clerics the option to mount, if they so desire.

I was positively surprised to see player suggestions implemented a couple of patches later. Thanks for taking player feedback into account, this really makes forums worth existing!
-
Last but jot least, my favorite part of this game is its cultural diversity. Unlike every other mmo I know, TOS represents a variety of cultures and traditions. I had to look up many of the classes to understand where their theme is coming from, and I learned a lot! Dievdirbys? That’s amazing, I had a blast reading about traditions like this, thanks for having a more culturally representative and diverse game! That’s my main reason to keep playing the game.

PS: I am Greek so I was really surprised to see Greek-inspired classes and skills in the game (Peltasta, Hoplite, Exorcist, Druid). I even chose exorcist bc of that (and the dps nuke, I guess).
Please pass this along to the Korean team too!
