GM Papaya's Information

General Discussion
#1

After today’s maintenance GM Papaya was at the Event Board in Klaipeda on Orsha. For 40min or so he answered some questions, and although it wasn’t overly concrete I wanted to present some of the insights and information he shared. Keep in mind it is very broad, and non specific, but it helps us see where Tree of Savior is headed.

  • Current IMC strategy is still releasing large content updates, they don’t want to release it in small batches as they are more buggy than fleshed out updates.

  • IMC is still looking for a Community Manager

  • Community Manager will be managing suggestions, and will be improving the current system for it

  • IMC wants more direct communication

  • IMC does read through many of the posts here and on reddit

  • IMC has to filter a lot of the given suggestions due to bias and bad reasoning

  • IMC is continuing to look for Developers.

  • STR, INT, and SPR are all actively being discussed in regards to balance.

  • There is discussion about changing items

  • Practonium is being discussed

  • Presumably orange items are being discussed, I believe it has to do with the difficulty of obtaining them

  • New content and recently discussed rebalancing coming “soonish”

  • Hunting Grounds

  • Balance Talk

  • Major rebalancing is far away

  • Papaya is from the land of penguins

Thanks Papaya for answering questions and giving us buffs.

If I have anything wrong or you want to clarify a point I may have missed please do Staff/Papaya. :slight_smile:

“IMC has to filter a lot of the given suggestions due to bias and bad reasoning”

Well seems like the hues will need to be more formal if they want IMC to get stuff done e.e

Simple Talk:
You need to be more serious when you’re suggesting stuff e.e

It’s great that IMC takes ideas directly from addon developers. I hope they continue doing so.

I’m unsure how IMC controls their code version but this sounds very weird.
Releasing more code at once is more likely to have bugs in it :confused:

Why, Haukin’s favorite pet has arrived.

The idea is to have fully fleshed out major updates. If the game is updated in small weekly patches, things will fall through the cracks, examples including exploits, or crashes that can really cause a mess. Papaya specifically sourced the beginning of ITOS, and how the fast update structure didn’t work like they wanted it to.

I should have pursued further in asking about how KTOS was handling things because their updates are quicker, my guess could be Nexon helping with any QA and additional manpower shortages.

That does makes sense, since apparently IMC is gathering bits and pieces from kToS code and moving it to iToS, instead of following kToS patching history…

It’s interesting to see some of the differences between the versions. Things like the Serpentine debuff were never sent over here. Maybe they wanted multiple places to test balancing options. (Please IMC don’t ever send that nerf, it’s really, really not needed.)
