I’m personally hoping they’d actually refrain from giving us another rank reset event until rank 9 comes out, so not to make it too common and keep the fun of it. All these changes are relatively minor when compared to the addition of a whole new rank IMO.

I think they have to do reset. They’re completely changing cards system, some builds that use werewolf cards will be obsolete after change.

I’d be down for rank resets anytime they make a major change to a class, but only for people who have that class in their build.
Free resets is doing way more harm than good.

To be honest, we should have a monthly Rank reset event. This game has more than 60 classes and you tell me that you can’t have the freedom to test them or experiment builds without needing to reroll everytime? Please.

Yes, because the leveling game is short, and allows you to learn how to play the class.

Short when you use vouchers and other stuff. Just the fact that you need to create and have space in your lodge or delete characters is already a annoyance. This game should have already flexibility for switching classes, like FF14 and others games. There’s no reason why you wouldn’t implement this,
unless you want to profit with it.

Leveling really isnt that short if you dont use any vouchers or tokens or anything (which new players dont have access to anyways unless they pay) so it allows people to understand the game better and their class.
but yea it seems fine to get a free reset every month. it allows you to experiment wihout having to create a new character. and because of the character+pet limit its a burden to create classes like falconer, hunter, cataphract, ect. even if leveling is fast theres still the charcter limit

It doesn’t allow you to learn anything. You just clear through everything. Nobody actually learns to really play their classes until they reach max levels. Anyways what does it matter about learning to play through leveling it’s not like it makes any difference for any content at all you’re not gonna just go do solmiki with a random people and nothing else really requires you to learn anything.
The main point of rank resets is not the hassle of leveling, it’s leaving behind your character that you put all your attributes, cosmetics and time into. It does no harm to anyone or anything in game, you’re just sour.
Still takes days. If you were here early on, it generally took people weeks/months to hit 280.
Why would I be sour about a rank reset, if that’s all it did? What you ‘leave behind’ is the mistake of a character you made and want to get rid of with no accountability. I’m not saying resets should not be given to classes who undergo major changes, I’m saying that people who want free resets 24/7 will never learn how classes function and synergize, and will only continue to cry for more resets. Which is what’s been happening every week since the first one was given out.
It’s not about Solmiki or end game content, it’s that I firmly believe that people should actually attempt to understand the one thing that makes this game stand out from others: the class mechanics.

Been here since launch, took me months to reach 280, not the case anymore though.
Wanting to change characters doesn’t mean it’s a mistake. People like to main a character and people get tired of their builds. Say I invested all my money on attributes, which I did before all this trans 10 sht came out, and I don’t want to leave that character behind. Now I have to reroll that same character for say 1 or 2 circle changes. It’s stupid, not to mention this game forces you to main a character through trans. You wanna give up on a trans 10 orange weapon to changes a few circles?
You learn class mechanics at end game not through leveling. Nobody cares about any early content you’re not going to learn anything and it’ll matter even less when you hit rank 8. Nobody is asking for resets 24/7, people are asking for resets when big changes come to everyone equally.

This is not even a big update though.

Unrestricted Rank Reset like previously can cause players leave the game soon, because there is no proper end game content at the behind.
I think it still good given 2-3 rank resets to specific few characters at the moment, until bigger patch and changes.

But just think about rogue’s builds, in his build the dmg is done by attacking for behind and for this reason you put around 6~10 werewolf card for get % to attack for behind. Now this build isn’t optimal because it hard stay behind a a monster when u are alone.
Sorry for my bad english.
Sadly only rogues have this problem as only the rogue uses the “from behind” mechanic. Rogues are already unpopular so there is very little reason to be “considerate” to rogue players.
Now think about people who have x10 glassmole card, they will lose a considerate amount of dmg and maybe they want a reset for a get another class for get more dmg than before or they want more utility.
The change to card System is a big update, i dont want 1 month of reset but 1 day or 2 could be good for the changes.
GM is a straight up damage mod that doesn’t make or break a build, WW does. Not being able to use the last 5 GM cards doesn’t break any build). All the people who have x8 GM cards will not be needing a rank reset as cards can be removed “for free” over 5 days (if you still need to use the 3 GM cards).
I’m in favor of any excuse to rank reset. It gives me a chance to play around with possibilities. This just isn’t.
TBH classes that rely on Mole Card/Chapparition Card for burst damage is bad design, i feel bad for those using it but at the same yes this must be changed for a healthier ecosystem.
But then I think is better to finish off the remaining balance until announce of R9 for full rank reset event like previous.

Now I feel sorry for rogues that relies in werewolf cards. They arent dps already ant IMC decides to cripple them further.
I also feel sorry for wizards that uses full chappa cards. Doppel is indeed the undefeated dps and bossing toon for now even without full glass moles.
Rank reset is useful but since you cant reset to another class like the mighty swordsman then it is pretty much useless. Archer is a dead rank and used only for sr3 dungeon farming or falconer 3 support. Wizard is stuck again to cryo 3 chrono 3 supporting because of the chappa nerf.
Good job imc. You never fail me. I’m not disappointed. This is obviously sarcasm. Sigh.
Rerolls to doppel before the nerf hammer

Its too early to asume only bad things, they might rework cards eficency as well so maybe 3 chapparitions/glass moles will do just fine if the formula its updated, if not we dont even know wich new cards we might get. To be honest this new card system looks familiar, kinda like the D.N. one, maybe its just the interface.
Well well staying O.T, I agree that when major patches are released rank resets are needed, on the other hand they need to use rank reset events smartly since the last one was a HUGE success to bring people to play the game again. Sadly even the “new stuff” we are getting its not enough to keep players around, maybe when the PVP rebalance/arrmor def buff comes to iTOS, that would be a good moment to strike.
