Hi Guys! Just wanna say to you all my experience and thoughts on the game coming from 175 cataphract. This is not a rant and i may come back in certain period to try it out but it seems like i came to a certain point of not liking the game for now.
Here goes! First we all think that this game is similar to ragnarok and yes it’s graphically look like ragnarok but but it’s just physically look like it but on the essence it’s far away from it. Here are the things to break it down :
-
Grind Experience (The journey) : We all love it on ragnarok! Hell i remember that i’m not even grinding but hunting and realize that i reached level 90 on my sin. In TOS, we all think that this game is all grind but in how it was designed it is not! This game force you to do quest from lvl 1 - 140 and we have no idea that it is neccessary to be done it’s like you live freely but then the maps hinders you to grind because of the mob density. Well this game sucks as you progress the more you notice that the mob density is growing lesser it’s like the mob has gone extinction! it sucks and the maps are smaller than ragnarok. Thats one thing and another major problem is it’s not rewarding! What i mean is there’s no reward for you to grind because the’re no diversity on exploring and getting items. Do you remember RO days where you select a map and choose a monster to hunt for that card? That’s what made ragnarok fun it’s because you hunt and you have freedom to choose to be gear oriented or fast leveller. In TOS it’s just bland and colorless and the mobs here are forgetful unlike the whispering, poring, abysmal knight from RO where are those kind of art style? Heck i could’nt even resist my cataphract sitting on a frog!

Build Diversity and Gears - I like the classses in TOS but as a cataphract there’s nothing to make me diverse from it except from picking on my class route. It’s a good thing but on my experience once i became a cataphract C2 i suddenly ask myself “Now what?” because there’s nothing else for me to build up on my character there’s like no juice left for me to get excited from progressing it’s like earth wave all day all night again. Gears sucks and gems are not the worthy solution to get me back because i still like the cards from RO it’s changes your character dramatically and makes you become unique character.

Foundation of the game - Seriously the only fun part from my level 1 - 175 progression is when i grind on demon prison and going from level 1 - 40. Don’t expect too much from the game after that because the content will be the same. The game is rushed and not carefully thought about and wtf i keep seeing recycled mobs from 100 zones! Even bosses are recycled wtf is wrong with the lazyness here. Ill be frank, i will be happier if the cap is 100 and requires alot of grinding if there are more diversity for me to do ingame like hunting, dungeon and consistent grinding with better mob density than grinding over a template of mobs from 1 - 280 it’s utter bullshit people expect alot from you guys and paid money to support your game and you’ll ripping us off with template maps and mobs.
Conclusion - PVP won’t save this game because there’s no reward eitherway from playing pvp coming from KTOS. Most of you may love pvp but wont be that long enough to sustain your reasons to keep playing. Guild war is not as astonishing as Ragnarok because of the class roles. War will be filled with mages and cleric because of the class routes it’s enough for the mages to fill the slot for other classes because they have CC, DPS and can sustain life from cleric. I really hope this game survive but i dont wanna play because of the nostalgia and i wanna play this game as a better version of ragnarok because as of now, if ragnarok never existed this game will never survive on open beta because of the Ragnarok fans.
