I only really started playing yesterday (nov 10th) and since this is a Beta I’ll start writing the issues that I found and the suggestions I have to make. I know I’ll probably say things that are already well known and suggest things that others have already suggested, but bear with me. I came here to play, not to read all the forum after whatever new stuff I found.
Errors ========================================
- “.ipf” (or whatever extension it is) login error
- several “ToS.exe stopped working” crashes
- Client coudn’t download whatever, “please run as admin” error
- SEVERAL disconnects and game freezes
Skills ========================================
- SUGGESTION: Please, make skills damage descriptions more clear (with formulas, if possible). After some research I’m pretty sure (not 100%) that skills damage scale with secondary stats like Phisical Attack, but when we read “Multi Shot - Lvl 5 - ‘Atack: 43’” (just like that) in a description, it gives us the idea that all my STR is just going to my basic attack damage, and that i should as well just go with full SPR and spam skills all the time.
- SUGGESTION: Add SP usage information
- SUGGESTION: Add Attribute benefits to ALL descriptions
- SUGGESTION: We only need “Next lvl info” in the skill screen, not on the action bar description.
Party mechanics ==============================
- The PartyQuest thingy sometimes gets stuck on some completed quest and only disappears when the quest is disbanded
- SUGGESTION: on party quests that create those phasings (for bosses and such), send other party members a confirmation message before just porting them somewhere and getting them to end the quest before they finished reading/exploring.
Resurrection: ======================================
- Last two times i died i got stuck with the “Ressurect here” for iCoins, even when my friend tried ressing me.
World Map: ======================================
- SUGGESTION: Get a designer to make a better map. The current one looks just lousy, especially when u still don’t have all checkpoints. Even RO1’s was better (and i hated that one too)
Mini maps: =======================================
- SUGGESTION: Zoom out the minimaps inside buildings. they seem a little too big on the minimap circle (Check BokorMaster house)
- I went back to a map i was previously and my minimap disappeared (as if it was my first time there), which was pretty annoying since i’m the kind of player who likes walking all over to see ALL the map.
- Some times i go all over the map and i still get like 95, 98% of “explored”… please fix that
NPCs: =======================================
- Please review ALL npcs texts. Some are just codes ("$NoData$QUEST_…")
Friends mechanics ===================================
- cant accept/send/cancel friend requests, which is very frustrating.
Controls: ========================================
- SUGGESTION: please give us the chance to edit keybidings.
- on MouseControl style, when i hit backspace i get the screen to choose which quest i want to deliver. The problem is that when i click on one of those, the click also makes my character walk, which cancels the teleportation. I also tried selecting it with [space] and [enter] but they dont work
Items: ========================================
- SUGGESTION: please give us a way to trade items between characters in the same account
Lore: ===========================================
- Paladin Master shows up with hurricanes and lightning, faces the Demon lady and survives, then he just goes like “This old body of mine doesn’t answer anymore, I have to trust my friend Algris” (or whatever his name is), who LOOKS OLDER THAN HIM!! What a …? Seriously, just find something else for him do say/do.
Quests: ========================================
- On the quest that takes us to the hidden room in that Chapel, when i found the Revelation and Goddess Lamia started talking, the game just closed her speech and concluded the quest, which made me REALLY pissed ¬.¬
Monsters: ===========================================
- SUGGESTION: please, add monster info under their health bar on top of the screen (size, elements, resistance, etc.). One of the most annoying things in RO1 was that we had to get out of the game and go to a database to look for that same map and the same monster in order to get any information.
Bosses: ========================================
- While killing the bee boss in Miner’sVillage, my camera got fixed in the boss and didnt go back to following me. I had to relog to get it fixed. (happened in other bosses)
- Several bosses just stopped attacking and sometimes moving altogether.
- Capria has a knockdown skill that’s working before he even moves.
Graphics: ========================================
- Check cart positioning; they arent running on the ropes right. (Srautas gorge)
Others: ========================================
- Collections: ARE WORKING, indeed (as @zhouyu47 mentioned), but I suggest that you guys DONT just leave an EMPTY SCREEN there (while no collections have been activated). Put at least some sort of information explaining why that’s not accessible yet.
- What’s wrong with this lack of information about the MaxLevel? How can we plan our characters without that information (especially on a game that requires iCoins for resets)
AWESOME MOMENTS in game (give us more of those): ================
- That moment when Paladin Master first shows up, all full of winds and lightning, then just vanish up like MegaMan… dayum, that was great. Even though it doesnt make any sense for a paladin to have control of the elements like a shaman
- I love cart traveling :3 they look so fast and dangerous
CONCLUSION ================================================
You know what? After so many crashing, disconnecting, and getting pissed for neither being able to neither play right nor read the lore right, and adding the fact that these are mostly wide known issues that have already been corrected in other versions - why release a beta in a version that u know is messed up anyway? -, and that I’m not even getting paid to be listing SO MANY obvious issues, this is what I concluded: you guys made a GRAVE MISTAKE at releasing such a flawed version of the game.
There are SOOOO MANY OBVIOUS BUGS and mistakes that could HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH INTERNALLY, BEFORE opening anything to the public, and in such, avoid creating the suspicion that ToS team may not be able to handle the project… the fact that you’re willing to risk having people give up on the game before even seeing a stable version - because this CBT is certainly NOT -, just because you guys are rushing into showing something other than videos to the community, is really disappointing.
That being said, I myself decided I’ll not even touch this game anymore until the official release, and that’s only because i like this game gender so much and I fear that if I see one more stupid bug I’ll not play ToS ever again. But again, that’s me trying to keep some sort of connection to the game, but I cannot imagine how many people don’t feel like me and will just give up on it.
So yeah, I hope you guys get your ■■■■ together. And if you want more constructive criticism or some more professional support in Project Managing and Costumer Service, well, you have my e-mail.
Good luck, guys. See you all later.
