My personal opinion: I hated Boruta the moment I datamined it and read the KR patch notes that it was going to be added. It doesn’t matter if you’re winning or losing, the content has a terrible design and is not fun to play.
I don’t care about winning or losing as I can get the rewards one way or another. There is no anger at the content because of that. I have everything I need from Boruta. There is no loot I desire from him. It has been this way for weeks. I was waiting until they fixed seal upgrading and got my +3 seal the first day it was fixed. I would gladly give it all up if Boruta was removed from the game. Even if I start winning, my opinion on Boruta won’t change. There are so many aspects of it that were a failure from the start. It is unhealthy for the game in many ways.
Boruta is unfun and brings out all the worst things in the game.
- It leads players to break the game to try to deal more damage to him because of his absurd HP pool, even if it’s within the game rules. The game starts to crack once you push it to its limit, both technically speaking and game balance wise. The limit on players within the channel, the server crashes, the lag… ToS is not capable of handling this.
- It brings out anger and hatred in the community.
- It limits rewards to a very small portion of the community.
…and more
It’s not like KR thinks any differently. They hate Boruta even more than we do and voice it nonstop on inven and the official website.
The changes IMC does only make KTOS complain even more, and that’s ignoring the bugs that are occurring when IMC tries to do changes. I don’t cover it in my posts, but did you know that when they changed the contribution rules for Boruta, it bugged out and no guild was able to gain more than 1~3 contribution? There had to be compensation and a post from the developers apologizing.
IMC on KTOS does monthly replies to the top player suggestions/concerns they want changes on (you may have seen me translate these). Well, the current top 2 player requests for March are both the same: delete Boruta. Not only that, but they have more votes than any other suggestion ever has. The next two after that aren’t much different.
#1: [Long Post] Boruta is failed content. Delete Boruta.
#2: Please remove Boruta from the Ausrine server.
#3: Please remove suggestion board because you ignore any requests unless you already have it scheduled/planned (such as to delete Boruta)
#4: Change Boruta contribution calculations
It’s clear by future changes that they want Boruta to remain relevant, as Dragon Strength continues to be a key component of item sets, but IMC should seriously reconsider how Dragon Strength is obtained and the rest of the Boruta rewards. Boruta is not good for the game or the players.
