Is Tree Of Savior only for hardcore players?

Hello, everyone.

I want to discuss something that is on my mind for a while. The thing is, I’m at med school and I don’t have much time to spend in the game. Usually the time I have available to play is 1 hour, 1h30min during the week and a little more during the weekends, where if I don’t go out with my friends, I spend the whole night playing.

My point is: I don’t feel I’m getting anywhere playing this amount of time since the max level is so far away and the game requires too much of my time in grinding to proceed. Was Tree Of Savior designed to really be like this? So that only harcore players can achieve things?

Besides that, there’s the connection issues at SA Silute, where I’m playing, and that impossible queue that kills my entire available time for that night. I am not very pleased with my Tree Of Savior experience, especially after the free to play change.

Although I love the game mechanics, the graphics and the music, I don’t feel like playing it for now. And I think all the niche of players who work/study hard is going to waste with the actual situation of the servers. Actually, I don’t think this specific niche is priority for the developers of the game and that makes me really really sad.

Thank you for reading, let me read your toughts about this!

I don’t think so, no.

You can get to cap slow and steady playing a few hours a day or week, or no life it and get there fairly quickly. There’s more than one way to do it, I don’t think the design of the game shows preference to one group over another.

At the end of the day, they’re out to make money. So they’re going to make the play style appealing to as many people as possible.

Have you ever played an mmo which you can be great with 1h/day?
I mean, thats the point of an mmo… You rly need to invest your time on it to go anywhere.

Keep in mind that if you take this route there is little to no end game content as the game is still under development.

I would suggest the casual pace.

yea queue are realy time consuming actually. for lvling we can just do mission then dungeon. i do that and now i reach lvl 160 in about 30 day.
but now its realy crowded, sometime i give up and just go to sleep because of the queue. 30mnt failed too search party because we cant enter the DG / mission

First and foremost point, this is a Korean game and it is grind hell, any KR game is like that, second, there are leveling guides out there you can make use of to help on your leveling, you might be missing something on a part of the game that could give you a small burst of EXP.

I have some friends that can’t play much and are leveling at a reasonable speed by using the guides.

The connections issues are really a sad thing. Maybe you’ll want to come back in a month later or so. I don’t see this getting fixed anytime soon.

About the difficult… I think is actually pretty easy to level up (even Ragnarok was a lot tougher back in the old days). What actually is asian-level are the achievements because, holy mother, I don’t see myself overkilling 100k monsters or killing 10k bosses in the next two months or so.

I’m not even at my 100th boss or 1000th overkill. So, yeah…

I usually go to sleep too, or play one or two League of Legends matches. It’s frustrating…

I only play about 2 hours on most days, but more on weekends. Have 2 lvl 110s and 1 lvl 135. doesnt seem to bad to me considering the game hasnt been out long.

I was able buy 8 tokens in this time too so you can get by in this game without playing much.

The only hardcore aspect is that some drops you really need to grind for and there are no class resets so you need to plan your build out carefully.

I think a good way to show concern about the players who have not much time to waste in the game would be to expand the times you can go to a dungeon. Maybe 5 times?

I’m really considering to stop playing for a while and to come back in a month or later. I’m feeling extremely frustrated with the connection issues… Also, I have one more month until my vacations, my grades will thank me hahaha

I will try to look for these guides, maybe it’ll help. But the thing is: i have to go through the queue to play :frowning:

If you mean login queue then yeah, it is a pain in the ass to wait for it.

I would say this game is more suited to casual players. Once you hit 100 which is super easy, you can just run missions and dungeons to level for the most part, which only takes 1-2 hours a day.

Gameplay wise it is easy to play, even at high level content. The game is pretty relaxing and fun to just chill and play.

3 dungeons + 3 missions a day is plennnnnnnnnnnnnnty

#14

I have around an hour and half a day to play ToS.

What I normally do is lv90 dungeon on my 226 cannoneer and Siauliai Mercenary post mission on my lv110 rodelero…then I go straight to bed.

Just keep in mind that Tree of savior is not a game of race, you shall take as long as you want to reach the 200+, dailies provide you decent exp.

Well, tree of savior is not really for Hardcore players,
you just need to follow it’s pace.

I said this on another post, this game is a “Casual Grinder” game, not hardcore at all, grinding and copying builds from websites aint hardcore.
