KToS General Thread v5.0

this game is a P2W heaven for whale and rmter.

they just need to take out their credit card and bam, top wbr and they get everything they need.
but if you try to say something its because “they understand the game” and play it.
best part is seeing one specific guy selling 3 pages worth of stuffs from cubes every single times a new one comes out. :rofl:

IMC has made endgame equipment too vital in character capability and progression (probably as a broad, general band-aid fix for their inability to actually balance the game and its classes properly) instead of actual experience and hard-work, and such equipment are largely locked behind RNG or Silver if anyone is selling it on Market.

With all these content rankings encouraging competition and rewarding the ranked, along with IMC’s dumb balancing creating such a huge disparity between meta and non-meta builds, players will do anything possible to excel in endgame content that will only get harder, even if it means buying items and gear from such content to do said content if it’s for sale. For non-viable builds who can’t even do endgame content (lacking damage, party members, a higher minimum gear requirement), their choices are either to give up, farm loads of Silver to buy them (legit farming, not RMT/botting) or be blessed by RNG for progression. With that said, I literally saw “a well-known botter” in my server often get lucky in Goddess Grace, even getting 2 top rewards back-to-back in the same Goddess Grace last week. One can easily guess where the Silver required to do Goddess Grace comes from … :crazy_face:

What makes it worse is IMC balancing the game taking these endgame equipment into account. With how they keep going on with this (Vaivora literally making or breaking a class, Archstone RNG, IMC putting stacks into every class without thought, Goddess Armor making IMC change skill mechanics themselves into channeling just to conform to the Armor etc), IMC will never be able to keep the player-base from declining once they see the dumpster fire fueled by RNG, Silver and crap balancing at the end of the road, no matter how many Seasonal Servers they host.

Also, yes, Archstone is a dumb idea and should never have existed.

Thanks for sharing the info. :slight_smile:

I made a video of the latest balance patch to Ranger, Fletcher, and Mergen. For those who are interested, please take a look!

i heard fletcher new attribute make the game laggy
i want to see arrow sprinkle and downfall damage at WBR, sadly it blocked by mergen banner in your video, haha

anyone knows what attribute glacia legend is?
the unique boss is mutant/cloth/ice, is the legend the same?

ah im interested in priest chap crusader build mind if ask specifics? is it truly nonviable?

Not anymore if there was ever any chance of it left, I talked about that build due to the significance of Aspergillum in Cleric auto-attack, how Friedetti works and the creation of that Chaplain armor indicating IMC acknowledging such a playstyle, but IMC made that set into a generic healer set. In the end, the kToS player base (also iToS players) saw no value out of that playstyle and preferred something that is made FOR full supports.

With how IMC designed auto-attacks since the time (Saint Oasis affecting the first line of auto-attack which leans more on raw damage and not affecting additional damage lines including Aspergillum, the only viable auto-attack class SR became top-tier by abandoning Enchanter for Assassin, additional damage and Friedetti entirely, IMC planning to do Monk and Chaplain changes in kTest which is basically an auto-attack rebalance with no news since etc), one might as well take the meta route with either Magic DPS or full support Cleric. It all seems to suggest that IMC has no idea how to move auto-attacks and additional damage forward at all with all these conflicting ideas, and they are just throwing whatever is available to see what sticks.

Basically, IMC killed that route before it even took off from kTest.

wish they would just let sacrament work with chaplain :confused:
well if I took chap priest crus would it be a decent dps that can heal with austeja? using holy crusader skills and capella int focused aspergilium art?

Not really (with Crusader Vaivora though … kinda OK bossing damage I guess). Besides, people trust a full support more than a discount hybrid support, and one might as well get a proper DPS instead too.

Its hard to trust or get behind something IMC themselves won’t get behind nor facilitate either since IMC can flip on such things so easily, along with your investments in it.

I got 1 week ban on my 20 alt account =(

Tom please make more video

I don’t think this number affects player population much
bots are constantly creating new accounts and acumulating silver on multiple accounts
I don’t think they will ever have more than 50 accounts logged at the same time
Players alt accounts are probably much higher in population than actual bots.
