For good reason game is in bad shape.

The kind of fix we need is akin to ff14 -> ff14 realm reborn fix

"First, these are the main goals our dev team is working to implement in the near future:

  1. Improve the damage calculation system.
  2. Increase the efficiency and revise the effects of each stat.
  3. Create formulas to replace the currently fixed-number skill attack values and effects.
  4. Revise the basic stats of all equipment items.
  5. Readjust the efficiency and cost of enhancement/transcendence.
  6. Readjust the difficulty of all fields and dungeons.
  7. Overall improve the chat UI and develop new group chat functions.
  8. Standardize and simplify item trade policies."

Which from this sounds pretty close to what they have in mind. This basically says keep the graphics and classes and redo anything that effects combat as a whole.

I too would be sad if a project went out of my own control. We can only hope that he either overcomes his faults or passes the torch.

Or, you know, the third likely option: no more IToS.

Their ā€œshort termā€ goals sound absolutely on point, but this is still IMC weā€™re talking about. Iā€™ll believe it when I see it.

Yea they could absolutely still blow it. But its nice to see they arenā€™t blind to the fact the game needs such a extensive rebuild.

But it took what? 2 years of icbt2 people screaming it in their ear for them to finally admit (and communicate) these things. Day 1 of cbt2 people already KNEW the flat numbers would be a problem. Etc, etc, etc.

At this point I have to ask. Why are they even questioning the koreans? It was pretty clear back in icbt2, they donā€™t actually test. They ā€œplayā€. Hell, IMC could ask the japanese. We were pretty eye to eye with the knee jerk reaction on r8 being ā€œtoo hardā€.

#5017

You have a bad concept of time. it hasnā€™t even been 2 years since the first icbt beta thats still like ~ 7 months away.

And yes they have been failing pretty hard, people are just excited to see them admit it and are hoping they might start to turn things around. Its obvious people want them to fix things other wise no one would bother complaining.

Youā€™re right, but itā€™s gonna be 2 years ā€œsoonā€.

The 1st step to fixing a problem is ā€œadmitting there is oneā€.

Negativity aside, ToS is still the only game to give me ā€œthisā€. But then thereā€™s RO mobile in the near future so ā€¦

RO stopped being a viable option for me when they put in that dumb summoner race/class

R8 content is a direct result of adding in transcendence. Which till now they donā€™t admit that it is the root cause of causing power creep and huge wall in R8.

There are many other ways to give variance and reliance to itemisation which they can try but they chose to go ahead with transcendence sigh. Now even if they open up the possibility of trading transcended gears it makes not much difference at all, since in order to get enough transcended gear to make the player feel comfortable in R8 maps, the player will probably have pool in shards from all their alts, leaving their alts dry.

I hope the ā€œtradingā€ means account bound transcended gears, not fully trade-able. But shards are already fully tradeable so maybe thats not much of a difference.

#5023

The only difference it makes is older items can be sold, making players more prone to use transcendence at an earlier stage.

One thing they fail to consider is the mentality of players, when we have such a limited amount of shards, normally we wouldnā€™t use such limited commodity on an item which isnā€™t BiS. It just isnā€™t worth transcending a 170/220 weapon to stage4 and beyond when the player is aiming for a purple 315. More so when R9 and R10 hits.

Unless they plan to make blessed shards drop like talts, then thatā€™s a different story. It will cause another problem though.
