TOS is good for me especially after rebalancing. Hope you enjoy your next game as much as ragnarok, bye bye 
Why should anyone even debate with someone like you whoās saying such nonsense.
Guess what, a game is not only based on the gameplay. Character design ? Skill design ? Monsters ? Songs
Itās damn DESIGN you are talking about. If you put Ragnarok characters, monsters, skill NAMES and soundtrack in full-fledge soccer game, you will still be saying that its more similar to Ragnarok than to FIFA ?
What arguments do you even need, jeez. Gameplay and mechanics - hackānāslash action RPG. Diablo3 and ToS are the same damn hackānāslash action RPG. The fact that ToS has anime-style graphics, fineart, somehow similar soundtrack and similar skills names only affects its overall look, but its the gameplay that defines the⦠duh⦠game. Stop being a potato plz.
Why compare TOS with Diablo? Gear variety in TOS is nonexistent. No random gear stats feature, every gear you pick up is the same copy.
Ever heard about HG items?
I never said ToS is absolutely similar to D3. But the game mechanics (hackānāslash action RPG) is very, very close. And the whole game process build around gearing up.
HG what? still the same stats except sockets. There is no hack and slash in TOS unless you have a very good weapon.
TOS is unique. Case closed.
i played on international Ragnarok Online for 2 years and this is my opinions:
-
This is your opinion so i cant argue much about it. But for RO, people rarely do storyline quest. If they are not forced to do it (for example, biolab entrance quest for grind spot after lvl150), people wont be bother to do any storyline quest. Because of that, i really appreciate the fact that there is a clear storyline quest in tos.

It is atleast better in tos than in RO. In iRO, the only legit (or fastest way) to level up after lvl70 is in grampTi. It basically a dungeon where you complete a kill count, then turn it in for large chump of exp. Then wait another day. Some people wont even bother to do any grind outside of TI. If it isnt Ti, then it will be bountyboard, a mini version of Ti that dont have limit. Plus quest barely give any reward in RO.

Pve is reaaaaalllly easy in Ragnarok. I am not sure where you get the mob difficulty from RO, but it mainly pressing down 1 button in pve for RO (db for Rk, AS for ranger, RC for gx, OB for Rg, pw for sorc, CC for gen, TC for sura, SR for maestro). Heck, for boss fight, you mainly facetank a boss then spam your potions. That all you do. Even for biolab party (leveling past 150 to max level), it is a braindead 1 button smashing.
Moving from iRO to ToS is the best thing ever for me.
also, for people who complain about bots, ToS is a heavenly place for me, and you guys really should see iRO and its bots. LOL.
Unique in numerous bugs and general mismanagement? i agree. Never seen such a high potential mmo being run to ground like this before. Their handling of DPK bugs and severe lag right after combat update permanently killed the game for many old players still on the fence. Step out of the bubble here and see what people are saying about TOS in gaming forums. IMC cannot be trusted in the long run, donāt go hardcore in this game.

You clearly never played a kMMORPG nor a game published by Aeria games before then.

Do you have any example? Iād like to see :o
I wonder if the people who blindly defend the game ever realize itās not helping
Thatā because you played that renewal garbage. In pre-re there was no easy way to lvl 99. Renewal is easy and Boeing as fk.
Edit: sorry this was for @fapalicious2u
āblindly defendā lol anyone who donāt have opinion same as your must be blind
The game have its flaws (a lot) but it keep getting better no matter what you say, IMC already fulfilled a lot of things that most people asked (rank reset, moving while queueing, made cash costumes tradable, balance useless classes, they punished cheaters, giving free stuffs like candies to newbie and freebie,ā¦) but people still whining.
People are good at point out what is wrong, but most are really bad at solve the problem.
I think the main problem with the game at least for me, is that compared to other games like ragnarok or Wow, you have no real iconic bosses or characters in the story/mythos, the story should be more about the mythos,heroes/archenemies than us revelators to be interesting.
That is the problem with this forums, having more problem against the person calling out the misinformation then the misinfomation itself.
Its as simple as āshow me you can reach 1-330 in 24 minsā, I donāt know why you are bringing the earth into this lol.
It was called Thor Leeching.
Thor zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
then maybe you should play renewal before jumping to tos? Classic is infested with drama 24/7 and apparently, based from xellie constant ranting in forum, it is a dead server. (also noted that xellie also jump to renewal server and she said she had more fun in renewal)
I dont want tos to become similar to a dead server if that is what you want.
This game will always be compared to RO because hkkim is behind both.
Game design. And whatās wrong with it ?
ToS is a soccer game ? Nice to know. Have you any other examples like that ? Just to know if I can reopen this page next time without having a heart attack.
Your conception of what is a game is just different from mine in this case, and different from almost all developers, testers and so on. Or give me a link where you see a test that only talks about the gameplay aspect and putting all other aspects in the trash can. The reason why you are playing ToS =/= what the game is.
Are you insulting yourself by saying that ?
Many things on Iro are iro only.
And iro is even more p2w then other servers out there ā¦
Well i play ro since 2004 but never hear from grampTi.
With rw you can solo lvl a char from 1 non rebi to 99 rebi in a few hoursā¦
With partys even faster.
You play only rw garbage ro.
Before Rw you need specific eq for a good grind in a area like weapons/armors.
It was a pain to lvl some woe builds like 1 int prof/100 vit sin-x ect.
Classic dont get new content thats the problem.
You never play the old ro thats the thing.
Rw is ro in kirito mode you can solo the most mvpsā¦
And the servers are full of mvpcards now what destroy the bad balance with rw even more.
