Is there a way we can possibly have a good community discussion on ways to save ToS? I feel like this needs to be brought up, and having only spent three days in this game currently I can see some major problems! I want this game to be better and bigger than ever because it deserves it, but it needs help!
BUGS (There’s more than what is listed here, but you get the idea!)
- Map Exploration Bug (Resets back to 0%)
- Pet’s that get stuck while unmounting
- Cryomancer’s skills causing major FPS drops
- Crafting stopped because of latency
- Loading times can suddenly freeze, causing you to have to restart client
- Party members joining sometimes causes really bad FPS drops
And many more! It needs a lot of work, and this needs to be done in order to make people less frustrated. Moving on to other issues.
BOTS
This is a big problem I’ve seen in maps, even in the lower ones I’ve been in, and I’ve only just reached in the 100’s! There needs to be some format or quiz that you can do, to test if you’re a bot. Maybe sending the right answer for a little ingame thing will give you something that’s good? It shouldn’t however affect gameplay while in a dungeon or something, so maybe just for free farming? Or allow it to be answered within a good time frame, and put it at the side of the screen.
This is a good issue to be addressed because it raises the market prices exponentially and makes it really hard for a newbie to even join or even get on the same page. It also promotes silver sellers. Which I’ve heard in the forums that RMT is currently a big problem. Addressing the bot issue will help with this, but not entirely.
TOKEN (Or at least the benefits)
I feel like the token actually limits this game’s playerbase and sets it back. Yes, I know there is a need for profit, but limiting people is not the right way to go about it. Instead, maybe offer an exclusive outfit, emotes, a special badge to show that you support the game, or other stuff that doesn’t effect the actual gameplay! It’s a dated item, but there’s many other ways you can add stuff.
- Outfits (More!!) I hardly see a selection compared to many other games!
- Hairstyles
- Skin tones
- Accessories
- Weapon skins
- Glowing/Sparkles particles
- Pets
- Character Slots
- Megaphones
And many more ideas! Yes, I know that some of these are implemented right now, but there is so much potential for more! Especially rare ones.
Now that the hard and technical stuff is out of the way, there’s some ways to improve the playerbase and get more people rallying! The wait times right now are ridiculous for some things (I’ve been sitting in queue as I type this for a Level 100 Siaulai Mission for 38minutes! That’s nuts especially when I can’t solo it!)
Why don’t you re-release this game with Steam with a new launch? To hopefully get better reviews now that you are improving and adding content? I see that people are happy with the Hunting Grounds (Somewhat) and the big bug patch notes and the events! You might be able to get some more players that way.
Making a Facebook/Twitter or any social media for that matter event in which you have to post a screenie and tag your post or something? Or like a page and invite friends for some TP or a rare item or even just some common/mid tier items? This would drag more attention back. Even getting some more ads out there might help as well!
I’m basically done with my rant. Open to debate since clearly I have not been here as long as any of you, but I feel like these problems are really glaring and could definitely be solved with some work! It would also be nice for this to be brought to attention!
And yes there’s so much more to be added, so feel free to add below too! Maybe some insight from the @staff would be nice?
