Hello!

I asked this last year August 2016, and people were so negative, I decided not to come back, I heard some really good things have happened, and alot of new features, I always loved ToS, I just couldn’t handle the exploits and bugs… and bots… Have they been addressed yet?

What new features should be looking at? Any guide sites? build sites I should be looking at? I stopped a 102 linker, I heard linker is now trash, so I can do a Rank reset… but I need to know the best way to level now, is it still just quests + instances?

Thank you for answering all these questions…

no matter what opinions people have about the game, i would take anything comming from the forum with a few barrels of salt.
Hueknights and Doomsayers haunt this place.
Download it, try it, if it doesnt suit your fancy, find something that does, its free, so doesnt hurt to try.

The game has had its ups and downs for sure, the last few months have been very promising though, wouldnt hurt to get the same updates as kToS abit faster though.

As for linker, it all deppends what build you’re using, the most common one now days with linker would be Wizard c2-Linker c2-Thauma c2-Featherfoot c2, good for farming, and as far as i can tell doesnt need too much gear to do so fairly effectively.

Well…

  • Bots are still lurking around (probably even worst than before).

  • There are a few bugs that has been going for weeks or months and still haven’t got fixed (like Krivis’ Zaibas or PD’s BDS not working as intended).

  • Some months ago there was an exploit where people were getting an obnoxious amount of gear from Hunted Grounds or other mobs because the drop rate of those were for some reason dropping pretty consistently and even every single mob were dropping them, they got banned and then unbanned, got to keep some of the things they got out of it and besides got compensation for the time they were banned, that compensation being enough to lvl up like 1-2 chars up to max lvl (like 60 exp tomes, 10 dun reset vouchers, etc…).

  • PvP is currently unavailable (will return someday in a 3v3 mode… cough).

  • There is fishing now, if you’re into that.

  • If you don’t queue up for duns at peak hours prepare to be in queue for 1h+ because there is not enough people playing at all times to queue efficiently (currently it’s about 2k-2.5k people playing this game, taking into consideration there’s 6 servers, Fedimian being mostly dead).

  • We’re expecting Rank 9 by the end of this year, according to the GM’s.

  • The end-game it’s pretty much still the same ET (Lolo and Solmiki).

  • Adventure Journal is getting reworked soon.

  • Map Exploration and cards from Vaivora (from Exploration) are now shared between all chars.

That’s all I can think about right now…

As far as Linker goes, pretty much as stated before, WizC2-LinkC2-ThaumC2-FF2, beware tho this build is ONLY for farming, it’s very bad at grouping/ET/Dungeons with people so it’s only purpose is farming mats and stuff (also very bad at a few high lvl maps because of mobs inmune to link).

You’ve missed such events for new players wherein you would have a chance to lvl up to max cap within a day. Lols. Anyways, you would still enjoy this game tru questing and not by rushing to max cap. :slight_smile:

The game is free and you got a brain of your own…

Play it and decide if it worth keeping installed yourself…

unless you are a small child, then I would love to take you under my wings :angel: :family_man_girl: :hugs:

I’m from Varena.
For me the worst problem is Bot.
Staff not interest & investigate to ban them.
Only a fewww(2-5) bots got ban in a month.
But u can see bots in every single high lv map & impossible to ban them.

Just do it but take it slow, play 2 hours per day or less, do not play more than that or you are gonna hate the game.

If you seriously can’t handle the bugs, you probably shouldn’t play TOS.
Bugs regularly come back, and some might be fixed in a few days, but a lot of them haven’t been fixed yet even though they’ve been around for months. In terms of bugs, TOS is pretty bad. Of course all games have them, but IMC takes a long time to fix them, and the worst is that some of them regularly come back. It’s pretty tiring after a while.
Exploits can still happen, it’s the same in any game. But there aren’t as many exploits as before, it’s way rarer. Still happens though.
The game is still full of bots and RMTers. Some maps are literally full of bots 24/7. But tbh it isn’t that terrible. I find the AFK Necromancers way more annoying since some of them prevent people from questing…

Biggest issue about the game though would be the end-game content. At the moment there aren’t even any GvG or TBL because they deactivated them while they’re working on them.

I’d advise you to try it out without spending anything, and see how you enjoy the game once you’ve reached 300+. Your Linker is fine as long as you don’t go circle 3.
Maybe you should also wait for them to bring back “players return” or “new player” events before playing again, as it would make it easier/faster for you to level (you’d get exp items, and during this kind of events there are more players around, so it’s easier to find people to do low dungeons with)

There are so many new things since last year that honestly it’s half a new game. You should probably check all the forum posts since the last combat patch to see all the differences. Stats, combat, skills, field bosses, items have been changed. And there are more changes coming.

bots

woah them bugs

most of the people abusing that ■■■■ got permabanned, and it was for one single day.
the rewards where for you know, being unable to play for a week since IMC blocked your account for checks.

pop under 2.5k

average population online is 3k split in 6 servers, but thats the average and normal players only play 2-3 hours max a day and different servers have different timezones.

That said, they’ve implemented an option to enter a dungeon with the same bonuses as a 5 man premade but with less than 5 members after 1 minute of waiting, and you can queue with your prearranged party of any amount of people.
Also, you can simply shout in all chat at almost any hour or you know, get friends.
In any case, excluding the level 290 dungeon, a person with decent gear does the same exp he gets in a 5man dungeon on fields, completely alone.
After they’ve nerfed/equalized monsters hp some maps became really good for soloing, like, i got 70-80m exp/h without boosts at Sekta Forest on my Quarrel Shooter.

BTW: just a stupid example to understand the population, dota 2 has an amount of monthly unique players that is 10 times the monthly login peak of the game.

Leveling up to 102 is extremely easy now, i don’t sugest using your money on a rank reset for that.

They changes all skills into % ATK/MATK so the game now offers more build variety and the field monsters have been tweeked so solo play on any build is really possible unlike before.

Drop rate has been improved and actually there have been so many changes i wouldn’t know where to start, but I would say it has improved.

Politically correct advice : Try it, see for yourself, problems are as listed above, if still not to your liking, move on.

Advice that will save your time, life and soul : Don’t try.

#12

Imo don’t listen to any of the negative opinions for now and just try it. Like what everybody else said you have your brain and you are your own person and there is a serious problem if somebody tells you something and you go off and just believe them.

If I listened to people say that this game is bad, I wouldn’t be playing it right now. I personally enjoy it cause the game hits my sweet spots cause I find this game to be very chill and I did meet a good community of people that I enjoy hanging around and doing end game content with.
