Tree of Savior Forum

[Spoiler Alert!] Advertisement phrase?

Keep in mind that my feedback is newbie feedback, but…

They wouldn’t really have caught me much. The first looks the best and most appealing, the other two look like evony ads - pretty art, but that might be stolen.

I suggest to add actual ingame graphics to ad2 and 3. Major game changes? Have a Tier8 character use a cool skill and the text over it. If it doesn’t show ingame graphics, most people will just scroll over it. Just one more ad trying to appeal with pretty anime art, yawn.

Second, the content. “Major game changes” says nothing. I’d suggest to at least phrase it as a “renewal”. “Full renewal!”, “Complete rebalance”, something that sounds more exciting and at least a bit more meaningful.

Sorry for the not as positive feedback, but hey :slight_smile:

How about [sarcasm on]:

"Play Tree of Savior, the game where the Sadhu(man) isn’t sad anymore :slight_smile: "

Well, I guess it’s time to start making “Orsha is best server” topics. Most new players go to klaip cuz of that.

So, May 16th is the make-or-break day. GL!

Re:ads -

1 - Meh. Don’t use this. Too simple, too vague. If you had to use 3, make a new one.

2 - “Free DLC pack” slightly rings a bell, but a little more info goes a long way. Perhaps print the core inclusions of such pack or rename it to something more enticing like “powerlevel with your free DLC boost pack - come get it!”.

3 - The layout is nice, but the message is vague. Try stronger words like MASSIVE [revamp, overhaul, re-release, rework, renewal], TOS 2.0, etc. Print a small, short detail like “Combat system rework, better leveling experience, amazing new content, etc.” - whichever is the case.

BONUS TIP: Have clear CTA (Call-To-Actions) on all your ads. Having a conspicuous button displayed on each helps a lot. I know for some, maybe for a lot, of us here considers seeing a button within an image weird, but it really works. It plays well with the human instinct to interact, and there are still a lot out there who don’t know that you can click on image ads (when there’s no clear CTA shown).

This time thought, the rank resets will provide class exp even when not max class level. They were able to fix the problem with that so there will be no loss for using a rank reset at class level 9 for example.

I kinda get your point but this art that is displayed can be found in-game when talking with NPC’s. If they were large enough including both would be great but I don’t see a problem using those pictures since they’re a valuable asset for the game.

Old players will get Free DLC pack?

I rush made a thing. If anyone is interested, a compendium of 150+ of the ingame NPC art is available here: https://imgur.com/a/Ksfm7/all

I don’t like my button. Some things are off centre. I didn’t bother fixing the cutout edges of the logo.

I think the update should be named. I went with savior because it’s game brand relevant annnnd plays on what people pretty much all want to see the update do. I can see the potential for it to be an admission that the game needs saving though, which I expect some in management might dislike a lot. Square did exactly that with FF however and it paid off big time for them with Rebirth, but of course they followed-through in a big way without disappointing.

Call to actions should also be buttons in my opinion.

I don’t see why there’s a need to say “coming May 16th 2017”. The year is obvious. The “coming” is unnecessary and a waste of valuable space to throw other things up there, it’s implied by the date anyway.

People complaining about use of the art - It’s an anime game. It’s key selling point is “Cute anime characters on an adventure”. The anime art communicates that, and the fact that Maggi’s art is unique and eye-catching is a plus. I would agree if Maggi’s art were incredibly generic standard anime art where every character looks like every other anime character ever made but with different hair/outfits, but it’s not at all.

Definitely could make use of ingame characters like the first image, I strongly dislike the font choice in the example though.

Strongly like the colour choices on the second image, and the gradient. Did somebody forget to remove a dropshadow though? There’s a single colour huge shadow over the very centre of the image that doesn’t match any existing shapes. If it’s supposed to be a hint to what the DLC is, it doesn’t communicate it very well.

Looking forwards to the update.

EDIT: I’m also realllly not a fan of covering the logo in text, even the small amount at the bottom. It’s really bad brand management practice, I was just being very lazy.

The pictures themselves are great!
But the lack of ingame graphics, actual GAMEPLAY related graphics, severly undermines the ad and makes one think it’s not an actual game.

TOS has actual gameplay, and the ads need to show this to actually get interest.

@STAFF_Yuri When will be delivered the green penguin? ty

Thank you sir, 20 characters are required

You guys should make an official Reddit account already! That way you can advertise much easier.

Wow. IMC is doing work.

I feel like IMC is trying to tell us something idk

I would change the text of the first picture (the one with the monk) to something more like
THE TIME HAS COME TO START ADVENTURING!

This is because with the balance changes it is now safer for people to go into higher level zones and such without dying too easily. Thus the whole “START ADVENTURING” part coming into play.

Lets be honest, not many people do 300+ content unless they have pract weapons and high defence gear.

The problem with these ads is that they don’t show what the game is actually like. There’s also no indicator that tree of savior is actually an MMO unless people are already familiar with its existence, and these are designed just to try and bring people that quit back. Of course this kind of issue also depends on the location of the advertisements.

IMC…
You must change your Official Trailer on the Main page since the posted there is R8 content you should try to update that video.

"Video" with good Rock sound track showcasing the new skills of classes that have change from current to rebalancing.

It will pull players interest if they see those in action.
remember the first time you introduce TOS?
we are all hyped because of those video’s you presented.
now add a little bit of rock-metal music, your good to go.
