I was planning on waiting for Rank 9 reset, but i wanted to reset a weird build i end up keeping after the Reset event. This seems quite an affordable price, i was expecting way more.
Well, thatâs surprisingly fair.
As I thought:
From the DLC page:
As you may know, it is our goal to develop each class to stand out on its own so that no matter the choice in build or advancement, players can feel a sense of satisfaction in their decision. By improving each class through its own unique strengths, traits, and values, we hope that, even when given the chance to reset, players will no longer find it necessary.
However, we understand that this goal has yet to be realized and we understand the very difficulty behind this
- Release an unfinished patch
- Wait the free reset event to end
- Do not release the promised list of changes
- Apply a ninja patch
- Sell rank reset
- Profit
When reseted do you still have to do the tedious quests? For example warlock 1 has a super cancerous and time consuming quest.
You wonât have to re-do the unlocking quests for certain classes, but advancement quests will still be in place.
iâm against the idea of having rank resets as it removes the repercussions of making bad decisions or not researching before hand. people blame bad translations and tool tips etc. but with how leveling up is so easy these days, you can just make a new character. itâs like when you do science experiments, you have a hypothesis and the results are not what you expected. you just learn from that and start anew. thatâs part of what makes me stay in this game.
another point about rank resetting is the case of some builds being obsolete with future updates. players should understand the risks of making meta builds and not blame imc for making their characters obsolete in the future. there is a reason why they are META and the idea of them being strong is volatile. instead of making meta builds, people should seek to find flexible builds that are not dependent on whatâs effective to date or at least have a plan for your future ranks. i am not against meta builds but i must stress out that every build has their strengths and weaknesses. take note of them and be prepared for what it entails.
i canât blame imc for giving it out though as most of the players want to have this available. good thing is that itâs a dlc and not tradable. at least there is still a limit to resetting and itâs not something that you can do on a whim.
oh sorry why it âNOT BE TRADABLEâ
why have to impress who will not buy it anyways?
make it tradable and make the market flow it own ways / who want to sell got to sell, who didnât want to paid in real money can offer this reset with silver.
PS. this isnât interesting anymore.
Nice. Even indie mmos offer free resets whenever major balance changes are made. Here you have to pay 10 dollars if you want your character to be playable after a patch. And thatâs per character. And thatâs also considering how unpredictable the so-called âbalanceâ patches can be. Kind of like what happened during the first reset event and the following stealth patches right after the event ended.
@STAFF_Ethan Will the Rank Reset Voucher allow us to take hidden class quests such as Appraiser, Shinobi, etc. assuming we donât have a Class Unlock Vouchers?
While I understand the idea and gesture behind it, that feels scam-ish.
Why ? Because you guys are regularly changing the classes and their skills. Right after the reset event ended you ninja-patched a few skills (and I donât mean skills that were bugged and you fixed, but you literally changed how some skills worked).
And from kTOS we know there are more changes coming.
Most people want to change their builds because of those patches, not because they arenât satisfied with what they decided to pick. But you guys never did events or gave away any few free rank/stat/skill reset vouchers after all those ninja patches, and instead you decide to first release a DLC even though the culprit for most of the messed up builds is IMC, not the players. This is seriously a mess. The skills are regularly getting changed (nobodyâs warned too), but itâs the clientâs responsibility to buy a pack to fix their build, even though the devs are the ones who âmessedâ with it.
For example, you could have put one free rank reset in the current guessing event rewards just as a gesture for all the ninja patches while introducing the new way to get them or the DLC. But nope, you decided to do the paying method only first.
(And seeing how slowly weâre getting the real, important, useful updates, weâll wait forever to get those free rank resets from the adventure journal)
they flee from your server because this. in new patch KTos will change status skill why you don;t give us with free re-rank and re-skill. look at your server , now have only buff and repair shop in town , player bored your marketing. do this without âmarketingâ please. it must be free item if skill statusâs change .
thanks.
It´s gonna be the same as if you kept one reset from the reset event. Need tor un advancement, don´t need to run hidden unlock. Your answer then is no, you cannot get hidden class without doing the quest or unlocker.
@Topic. It´s a nice thing for ppl, its profit for devs, price is fair (less than a wow char transferâŚ). People will complain whatever because they feel oh so cheated anyway.
Why is it limited to 1 character only!? This is dumb you canât buy more than ONE?
Staff Ethan already answered that: Steam guidelines for DLC.
Itâs not free, canât buy with silver and is a paid âDLCâ with something that was/can be implemented on the game.
Iâm from SA, but Iâm playing on NA server. The price will be too much for me to pay.
I was thinking that this could be like the âfree DLC goddess Ladaâ.
You should stop playing if you canât afford to play on a cash grab mmo
Reset is optional. They give reset vouchers for free this year every day on the event time. And now they are selling.
Is that hard to understand?
Looking forward to the vouchers being added to the core game. Still annoyed about the ninja patch after the reset event thoughâŚ
Were you expecting a full and complete rebalance in the first iteration?
The biggest irony is that theyâre releasing it day 25 which is the maintenance day. My intuition tells me that theyâre finally merging a big load of kToS patches into iToS and knowing that many people would get upset with new skill changes they decided to profit off a rank reset DLC.
They should at very least provide one free rank reset and an additional one through the paid DLC.
