Hi everyone!
I have not been playing the game for months, but noted the recent combat upgrade and the events keep coming. The developers seem to be trying hard to get the game running, or so it seems to me.
How is the game and population now? Thanks!
The game is pretty dead at the moment. A lot of people have quit or are on hiatus right now.
The combat update made people come back but it was just a combat update, there was no new contents or more substantial changes with it. So even more people left after it.
BUT there are several updates that should come in the next few months (or weeks ? Hope doesn’t kill) : rank 9, rework on ET, Saalus, HG, more levels, 2H mace, etc…
Here you can read some of the things the developers are working on, and some of them should come before the end of the year.
… There are still quite a lot of bugs though.
But yeah, as of right now there isn’t that much to do. There are some events to take part in, soon there’ll be the Halloween event, but except for that and the combat update, there isn’t any new content.
It might be a bit too desert - depending on your server - to have fun. In this case it’s probably wiser to wait a few weeks/months for the patches to come on iTOS.
I made a break for 1-2 month and start again to play 2 weeks ago.
Que out of peaktime is hopeless.
I wait sometimes over 1 h and im still alone.
All good grinding spots are taken by afk necros.
last no gatcha patch was like 2-3 months ago 
when ktos has nice patch every 2-3 weeks 
IMC sux very much its a sad but true story 
Cool fact is: the event that is running atm is meant to increase the game population. In theory it should be great to new players, good for players that stopped playing for some reason and ok for active players.
But the population is still dropping. Actually faster than last month.
So, we can conclude that those events are not working as intend because: yeah, theyre bad.
New players dont exist, but there is new necro farmers.
Old inactive players don’t want to return to a game that there’s nothing to do beside boring saalus everyday, followed up by boring ET runs, crystal mines, etc.
Active players I can’t even say, lol. Troll event. They just wanted to throw anything to them.
Also, Im waiting for a big change to return. Even the current ktos changes don’t solve necros, trans 10 giving 99% of builds damage and leading to con/dex builds. In silute token is 5m already because there is too much money coming from necros right now.
Cyro3>sorc2>necro3 is the 4th most common build now thas the state of the game xD
Im sure it will get higher after the event^^
Cool fact (2) : game is a mess with items. Hunting Grounds items are cheaper in the market vs non-HG counterparts (encouraging players to rush many maps). Quests’ bosses drop white and weak weapons (even high leveled ones).
no GvG and PvP. Mercenary post is useless and the rewards are not appealing at all (crystal mines are just run to obtain portium from mobs, not the cube at the end)
AFK Fishing isn’t that rewarding because necros provide tons of silver
Then other games inform the playerbase with what was nerfed and what was buffed. The lack of communication behind ninja nerf is somehow disappointing.
It happened in the past and it is still happening. Cool class, cool build and BOOM your main source of damage is no more, without any announcement or developer’s note (see Krivis, PD, Cataphract)
I really want this game to be alive and fun. It has potential and many good things but it’s not enough. The lack of content is leaving me hopeless
Game is no fun. It just nerfs your build that you spent months theorycrafting out of the blue and attempts to convince you it’s okay because you can reset for free.
Can always try grinding at hunting grounds
this pissed me off greatly. They just declared the black death stream bug as “intended” even though KTOS JTOS still has the old rapid poison spread, and they have the vastly more up to date version then us.
take note potential new and returning players: IMC doesn’t care about steam TOS
Conclusion:
Well, it’s not all bad, but it sure is looking pretty bad atm. Low population (I feel you guy who waited an hour in queue), bugs, AFK necros, lacking PVP (unless you go around randomly duel requesting lol), etc.
In my opinion, one of the biggest problem really is the end game content. There isn’t really anything big to aim for. Yeah there’s high tier equips, levels and classes, but nothing to really give you a sense of achievement towards the end.
Wait…so they did not even get the patch making the summons last “only” around 10 mins or so yet?
Wow…did not know i missed R9! 
True. You need a personal goal to keep yourself going, otherwise you are lost. At least PvP was a something for “endgamers” to distract them a little at least
Meh, I quit the game specifically because there’s no rank 9 on the horizon. At all. If anything, the announcement of an increase in level cap WITHOUT any rank increase kinda solidified that rank 9 isn’t coming any time soon.
All good grinding spots are taken by afk necros. this is truly the bane of the game , allowing people to afk with minions , encountered one of “those guys” at a mainquest checkpoint and took me 15minutes to lasthit 20 mobs while painfully foaming from the mouth screaching “■■■■■■■NECROS IMC SHOULDVE NEVER CREATED YOU”
