i dunno what to say about this. other than its highly misinformed. woe didnt come until a year after the release. cards where slow as well.
kinda seems your going to be disappointed no matter what
How does the timing of the release of features have to do with being misinformed?
These are things that werenât on release but thatâs because RO implemented them. And they worked. If IMC doesnât realize these are the things that made the game great and didnât implement them on day 1 then they are already slow on the draw.
Itâs like saying that the best part of WoW were battlegrounds, and then making another âWoWKillerâ without any PvP at all. You take the best things from the previous rendition and improve upon them. Thatâs the Blizzard formula and thatâs what makes them the best gaming company. Thatâs literally what they do. Every game they have ever made was copying another game and learning their lessons and doing it better. And thatâs also a reason there is no âWoWKillerâ because no game has ever been able to learn and adapt the way Blizzard has and improve upon their game.
IMC totally missed out on learning the lessons of RO. Again, different developers but the main developer is there. They have a great idea for a game, and itâs fun to a degree. But itâs missing out on the elements that made RO great. Thatâs their target market⌠the âRO crowdâ. And if they donât deliver on all the aspects they come to expect, (ie. Cards, Social aspects, WoE) then itâs going to be a disappointment. When TOS was first announced one of the big things everyone was asking was âare there going to be cards?â They didnât mean cards like⌠LITERAL cards. And thatâs what IMC apparently thinks what we want. But we donât want a card game. We want what the old cards represented. % damage that added a reason to grind and added depth to gameplay.
the game has been out for only a week. things are going to be released in phases
this team made RO1 they know more about the game then you do. you cant have a woe feature unless you have seen how people use the characters. once some more balancing is done, there will be something like WOE.
you want it ALL out the gate. you set yourself up for disappointment.
We are talking about the state of the game now. Not the future. Do we know these things will EVER come out? Donât know, which is why I posted it in the first place because i hope to god they do. The way itâs designed it sure as hell doesnât look like it.
For WoE, yes, it clearly looks like they intended for that at some point. But the other features clearly donât look they ever intended to implement. Cards, Chat rooms, Maps, etc⌠Too late at this point. The maps are âin stoneâ. They would have to redo the entire game if they wanted to make it open world. The mechanics are set at this point. Chat rooms would have to require a rework of the UI. Trade and marketplace⌠thatâs EASILY fixable but they havenât done it yet but Iâll give them credit since they are taking steps against gold sellers (which CLEARLY isnât working at all btw).
All in all, What does this game offer that other games donât? RO does have things that other games donât. I canât think of 1 single thing that TOS has that GW2, WoW, Tera, BnS, or some other game doesnât do better. Itâs just like every other isometric game out there. D3 and POE are clearly more in depth mechanics but still lack the social aspect that RO had. Which is the only thing TOS could have had going for it.
Ultimately, I ask the question⌠is the game fun? Iâve played 3 classes so far and the fun value drops dramatically after level 40. Thereâs no sitting in Prontera, wearing hats, making chat rooms, and vending. That was a truly fun AFK part of the system. Now you literally sit in town, asking for âlikesâ. Thatâs the socialization aspect of this game. Trade is a joke. Auction house canât be played at all with time limitations.
The only thing to do is grind, or do quests. Which is what every, single, game already offers with better mechanics. And the things it could have done are lackluster or non-existent. Even the cashshop is â â â â . Yes, the cashshop offers nothing to whales like me.
Am I critical? Yes. But TBH, if things donât change fast, people will be bored fast. People get into RO because itâs a cutesy isometric game. But people STAY for the reasons I mentioned. And without those things to keep them hooked they are going to leave in droves. Because thereâs nothing else to do. The music and graphics only go so far.
ok, i honestly didnt read your entire post. too long and ranty
listen dude. Im just saying that theres a constructive way to make things happen. your post was just listing all the things you wanted to see that IMC didnt deliver. all that does it make people not want to play. you are being negative and youâre not helping anyone or enticing change to so that you will see in game sometime.
go post in the suggestion category or something.
Guild wars is already in BETA on the korean servers and its more indepth than you would think.
They have plans.
The best thing we could do is support them and wait patiently for patches.
The problem with this entire community is that they have so much salt in their mouths and just spit it on every thread they can get their hands on.
Im playing both kToS and iToS, and many of the bugs that exist here arenât as prevalent over there.
The game will get better, it just takes time my friend ;3
