There is nothing wrong with rank resets. It promotes exactly what you said - class diversity.
The people who have a problem with this are the people who use meta builds with meta gear that farm and do the meta things in the game. They don’t want competition so they are being selfish and standoffish. They’d rather the newbies not be able to rank reset to the meta build and just quit instead.
Aukuras keeps the same HP regen though, doesn’t it ? I believe the added fire damages was stated to be an attribute (probably replacing the one we currently have, which increases the fire resistance).

They most likely better give rank resets to everybody.
Major is completely easy to determine: if you revamp your whole game - first how the fights/stats work/scale and now literally the effects of the skills - you have to give rank resets. It’s as simple as that.
But the ninja nerfs/modifications are indeed a real bother. They also happen constantly and IMC NEVER addresses them. It’s completely unfair that some classes suffer them (some have before FF) and it’s just completely ignored. “Oh, we changed how your skill(s) work(s). Big deal. Get over it.” 8D
ITOS:
Rank Reset = letitia cube.
Case closed.
There is only one change in Krivis, that is the skill Daino.
Everything else is just additional features to the already existing features, e.g. Divine Stigma got lower CD time and DOT effect + more damage against devil type monsters via attribute. It will still boost your STR and INT, so there is no major change here.
Aukuras also got the change via an attribute that grants you fire attribute damage and a reduced CD time at the cost of 1/5 uptime. However, as long as you have level 5+ Aukuras, you’ll have 100% uptime even with the attribute active.
I don’t think Rank resets with these changes are justified.
The Classes didn’t change so much that they became unplayable or have a completely different playstyle (except Paladin).
In fact,some of them became qualitatively better than before (except Oracle)…
So noone would want to change out of them if they were already fine with them before. And people who want to change into them now are most likely only meta-rangers following the trend of powerful/useful Classes (or going for utility: I’m changing to Krivis because I’m disappointed with Sadhu C2 and because Diev is no longer needed for C3 Kabbalist to be good enough; it’s just utility because Krivis will be able to give damage/attack power that Sadhu also had, + I’m planning to go Taoist on that char after Kabbalist C3 that synergizes better with Krivis than Sadhu).
The affected Classes get their skillpoints returned so they can change the skillsets they use and accomodate to the new setting, which is the best thing that could happen to them.
I don’t think so, even if ninja patchs are weird asf, as long as it is just little changes it’s ok. The ninja patch we had just after the reset event was not that bad, people over reacted because it was a sneaky move.
Devs and some players were against this idea, because you know, “it’s not that kind of game”. Reset rank is bad in few aspects, like if you are free to reset, so just go for a full DPS build, rush the game to 330, then reset to another build. It means people who did a hard build to level due to their final goal (like PvP) did it for nothing. This point is not really valid now we all have skills based on % and buffs from Pardoner.
Yes it’s my bad, I thought Aukuras effect was changed, I didn’t read it carefuly. But now I will have offensive skills based on INT, I doubt it’s a good thing for my character. I think I really need to see the changes in action.
You’re juste saying new Krivis has not a complete different playstyle ? Really ? I mean, even for people who were playing Krivis with INT and Zaibas, it’s still a major change in the way to play this class. Some people actually took Krivis for Daino only, what do you say for that ? It’s not a major change that buffs are no longer limited ? Plus the major change is not only in Class mechanics but in all aspects of the game, like the new system of Character Rank. How people could know that ?
The best thing that could happen to them and to this game is a rank reset event, or something similar. Do you really think reset skills points for Krivis is the best thing that could happen ? You’re mixing what is good or bad with what is obviously needed. When your class is reworked like that it’s the minimum you can wait from the devs, not the best to happen lol.
Are not everything being discussed here almost coming with rank9? We know that it’s highly probable that there will be resets with such release.
It wouldn’t be weird if we had another reset week festival.
well it may be that these problems will sort of dissipate during that event, but as long as their style of management continues, I think the availability of rank resets should be questioned. soldatazur thinks this need for rank reset wont be relevant enough to bring as an issue.
that’s another point too, there are opinions saying rank 8 alone didn’t bring the reset week as well, they were saying the changes to the damage calculations brought it. and this has some weight, because ktos only got their reset week recently; they didn’t get a rank reset week during rank 8 release, from what I remember.
we’ll have to see how they bring changes to their systems to really say anything for sure. they never fail to disappoint, so I’m just voicing my opinions well before they bring the updates with the tiny hopes someone in the company might hear.
It’s what we can expect, I guess. I’m not sure but I think devs said we could have more rank reset events when they release a major patch.
Well, Krivis C1 didn’t get any benefits, so maybe you’re a little right on that behalf.
Only C2 and C3 are really useful now, C1 is pretty much useless with the effects of Daino changed (unless you will get a huge boost so you can actually autoattack now, thanks to the Blessing hitcount removal).
Maybe there might be a way to redress them, e.g. like the Templar Guildlears that recieved a free Rank Reset item, but only limited to the Krivis C1 people that now don’t really have any use for their Krivis anymnore (or want to advance into Krivis more now that it became a really good Class).

Seems like there will be an event on KTOS where you can get a 60 days Rank- & Stat reset. You have to register for it somehow,though, no idea why.
