Nexon KR has a maw of confirmation bias right under it, as inherited from Nexon NA, huh? =/ How unfair. We’ll see how crazy they truly are in OBT, if they make no revisions.

Still waiting for that obligatory Sorc, Schwarzer Reiter, Falconer, Pardoner (and Squire but I’m somehow disinterested [and Rogue with how they are mystifying the Burrow skill]) to try and hurry along the skill demonstrations~

There is still some interesting news to be heard, before we’re left with this potential market disaster on our hands.

But take your time, kToS testers o/

Alternatively some guy found an exploit, and they preemptively disable trading to avoid another exploit spree as demonstrated by NA.
Thanks Obama.

Frankly I’m ok with the TP for listing items, you generate them over time and this is similar to “free account can only list X amount of items” limitation in other F2P games.

The 2 hour delay is questionable tho, in all likelihood a measure against gold seller using it as means to transfer money (even with 10% cut) but 2 hours is a bit too long. (Even the trade disabling is possibly for this)
@Riunia that’s most likely a bug (item returned as untradeable part)

Just give them time people, this is like that one guy who found there’s a hair color/style changing window for 100 TP via exploit and scream PAY2WIN…

Never said it wasn’t a bug.

That being said, some discussions are starting over at the kToS Tester Forums now, mostly expressing their displeasure. GM’s are off since it’s the weekend so we’re probably not going to get an actual response until Monday. We’ll wait and see.

If I wanted people to extensively test the market while I was away then I would have done the same thing they did with the kcbt over the weekend.

I’d temporarily disable all forms of item trading so that the market would get some focused testing. And then I’d revert it back after I got back to work. Win-win; market receives focus testing, I get to hear how many are dissatisfied with it (or maybe how many surprisingly accept it and turn it into a $$$ making possibility for my company), and I get to analyze how it impacts the in-game economy.

Sneaky, but, informative. Although this is with the impression they would be changing it back once the weekend is over. I mean… they pretty much have to… right? Right…? lol :cry:

While I don’t mind the items on the Market having a duration now, I don’t like how it costs TP. It seems they’re trying to carry over Granado Espada’s Market system though, so perhaps it will cost silver instead in the live server.

Sorry if I’m being annoying, but how the market system in Granado Espada work? Cuz to me the tax of (I believe) 10% silver was enough to make players think about which method to use to make money.

It’s now exactly the same as the one in the kToS Test Server, except that it costs silver to sell your items and silver to extend the time it’s on the Market.

Mmm, does the listing fee scale with how much you’re pricing the item, or is it set for everything in GE?

Cause the latter sure does make people think twice about listing small mats like Crystal Spider Feelers or Drake Horns.

i saw this somewhere on reddit and being creditted to steparu

hopefuly they changed the market system since i dont like the idea to stay logged on to the game 24/7. god bless the green mother earth and preserve our climate pls

I can’t remember, but it might be the former.

wow them market changes…
welp, here hoping that they don’t come through into kOBT

gold selling will surely be rare if this system is kept. but they have to remember powerleveling is also a thing, the gold botters will just sell levels and maxed out characters instead, the game is probably gonna be grindy and it has 600 of them…

honestly i just want to play the game and give money without feeling like im being forced into it.

Hmmm. unless they make some changes to the system, I don’t think “powerleveling” will be an efficient way to level up in ToS.

It is much easier to buy buff and potion and solo yourself. Furthermore, if you party with people who are higher level than you, you will receive lower exp in the field and in dungeons.

As for iCBT goes, the easiest way to level up so far is to spam dungeons in a group during beginning of exp curve, then save up all your exp card and use them at the end of the set exp curve to quickly jump over the hurdle. At level 100, dungeons gets better with the 100 missionary set that gives decent exp each. The best part of the missionary dungeons is that it scales with your level, so the exp increases as you go too.

OBT is release since everyone can enter and most of the time, there will be no wipe.

Did IMC officially announce that they will also be the publisher for the international version? I haven’t seen this anywhere.

On one hand, I think it would be good if this is true since we will cut the middle man out. IMC will also make more money too since Dollar and Euro has higher yields. But on the other hand, I feel IMC lack the resources to handle international version because most international version games will come with more players. There won’t be 24/7 GM or reps to help you. I’m afraid they might get overwhelmed.

idk where u got ur source from, but from i experienced in asian culture, the gold selling is serious bussiness, and i know some of korean game streamer who even actually support / vouching for certain RMT site by giving discount with their codes

@fitzfeliz
i dont know about you, but if you’ve been around for a long time you start losing faith in humanity, they may have worked hard which also gives them incentive to milk the ■■■■ out of their audience, seeing that the hype for this game is incredibly high, maybe they want to make a quick buck and just run off with the loot, forgive me for my cynicism.

i know its just one of those “what if?” scenarios, seriously though im not expecting the korean and western variations to be the same, and i did say im “hoping” that this thing doesn’t come out, my response about powerleveling would only count if they do stick with this thing, even though powerleveling is pretty much unmitigatable even when gold sellers aren’t around.

@yggtreeberry
lol do you even know how power leveling works?

you give them your account then multiple people play it for a set period of time to give you a set number of levels, probably though botting or other ways like hacking or something.

they also sell pre-made accounts that are already X levels.

very hard to just stop this kinda thing. if bots and hacks dont work then they can just level “legit”, most powerlevelrs do this thing as a full time job, and the account is likely shared so your character or their pre-made ones are always getting levels 24/7

Keep in mind that DiscKZee’s last thread was closed due to a number of flags. Please lets try to avoid getting this thread flagged and deleted. Avoid stirring up drama amongst users. We haven’t heard anything from IMC regarding these new features, who knows the true intent of the changes. Don’t be so quick to judge.

Be grateful DiscKZee is keeping us up-to-date and answering questions almost every single day. Do not cause this thread to get closed, keep discussions fair and don’t jump to conclusions.

I hope people actually remember WHY that thread was flagged ¬__¬

I mean all the meme-filled, and aesthetics-arguing posts were deleted, even if you skimmed through the closed thread, but I highly doubt we’ll have that problem again. It seems like civil talk for now.

Speaking of which, on another thread solely about criticising this new market change, someone mentioned that Maple had undergone this change of disabling player-to-player trade too? That is daunting if it is an initiative of Nexon… Of course that doesn’t 100% affect the international servers, and not 100% going to be in KToS’ OBT but… yeah, I do wanna hear more about what happened in MS.

Thank you sir.

As for a mini-update, the discussions are starting to pick up as the day goes on now. Both approvals and disapprovals starting to come in, so this may be a bit interesting.
