Eh, I think Rank 9 will be good if IMC kept true to their word of making the ranks scale up in a nice gradual slope. Right now it’s just a mess of either one circle wonders or abuseable combos or single class dominance. Anything is better than that.
The circling change is good. It used to be OP with unlimited AoE but it’s about the only thing Falcon can give. Right now that’s a significant nerf but if Falconeer can finally do other sensible things beside Circling then I’m all for it. Well, if you’re playing Falcon ONLY for circling (idk maybe you like it so much) then tough luck because Falconeer isn’t only about circling now (have you seen that pheasant though? Good God it’s become quite the beast).
Actually this seems to be a misconception, Fedimian must have gotten a huge increase in botters clogging up the adventurers journal rankings.
The reason is simple:
While my casual playing did land me easily on Rank 100-300 on September and October, for November I was always down at Rank 3000,although I didn’t drastically change my playing behaviour.
I even had more points at the end of November than in October.
And while there is the possibility of 3000 players suddenly joining the server (as there weren’t that many players in the rankings in October that high), my guess is that some MMORPG-goldseller company targeted Fedimian for November [as the number of gold spammers in town also drastically increased, they must’ve created all the silver somehow to sell it,right?], so the actual player numbers are way way lower than these Adventurers Journal numbers might suggest.
honestly the only real endgame is TBL, solmik is just so you can get better gear, but what can you do with that stronger gear? TBL.
But still, the dwindling population is a huge problem. I mean I already started playing lineage 2 revolution, and even though it’s a mobile MMORPG, it feels more complete than tree of savior already.
The future looks bleak for this game, with the dwindling populace, shitty servers,bugs and incompetence from imc. Its only a matter of time til ITOS closed.
if they cant handle the server crash with 1596 ppl, just think how they will handle it after r9 comes out. r9 will not be a game saver if they can’t make the server stable.
