Being rather lazy nowadays with the Round-up, so I’m keeping it as minimal as possible unless something big happens I guess. Looks like my hopes and dreams for ToS Magazine will never come … heck where did all the Assassin memes come from.

[May Week 3, May 11 - May 17, 2021]

eh fak

Once again, another lazy week with nothing much to talk about though I’m being early with the Round-Up for once … but yeah.

With that said, IMC has finally updated their plans for the upcoming months (May - June) to make up for the roadmap plans that they have cancelled weeks ago, and will start implementing them on the dates 20/5 and 1/6. With how the current state of the iToS community is depending on whichever server, hopefully this can bring new life into the game that the previous roadmap plans have snuffed out after being cancelled.

… or so I thought, seems like those 20/5 and 1/6 dates refer to kToS dates as IMC released kTest notes for changes that were scheduled for 20/5, such as Scout/Support classes re-adjustments for affected classes, Res Sacrae Gem and Vaivora Synthesis, Housing workshop and more!

alex_rivera_a · May 25, 2021, 5:42am

did they buff p clerics? did they nerf magical fairy clerics? what is going on ?

trueffej · May 25, 2021, 10:19am

I’m thinking it’s the kriv vaivora at work here. High stat phys clerics are pretty good right now( well, namely inqui/zeal/kriv) with the current kriv, kriv doing roughly 60% of the work and i can imagine what if that kriv is juiced like Mayweather. Also with the new “balancing”, Cloth-types used to have a really big advantage againsts magic and really big disadvantage againsts slash, right now they’re almost even.

4lkruzeth · May 25, 2021, 1:24pm

Oops, let me get this out of the way first … I copied the kToS WBR boss type wrongly, its Leather-Plant, not Cloth-Insect .

With that said, if I were to make an extremely wild (and probably incorrect) guess, I simply think the convergence of three factors: the existence of Res Sacrae (especially invested ones) allowing players to gain significant enough damage to overcome type advantages, the aftermath of kToS’s situation leading up to that notorious livestream causing players (whales and veterans included) to leave, and the fact that Scouts/Clerics aren’t that popular (not top Swordsman/Wizard/Archer DPS meta hurr durr) to begin with caused such a steep slope in WBR scores from 1st to 5th, thus causing such a weird table where Physical Clerics can be so far apart in scores, taking 1st and 4th/5th in rankings with such a huge gap in-between them … or maybe, some Inquisitors used Inquisitor Vaivora while other Inquisitors used Krivis Vaivora, or they simply played better .

(Incoming somwhat-irrelevant rant, not for the easily-triggered)

(Server drama trigger warning: a rant I want to get out while I’m on this topic, to anyone triggered by this, I apologize but just treat it as a misapprehension of mine)

On a side note, ever since a few weeks after Res Sacrae’s introduction, I’ve been seeing a weird trend where WBR scores are becoming increasingly influenced based on the capacity of its server’s whales/veterans (the trend has become significant in recent weeks). While its normal for every WBR rankings across all class trees and servers to have a slope in damage from 1st to 5th depending on a player’s investment and experience, the introduction of Res Sacrae has really amplified the significance of player investment in the slope of WBR scores.

In Fedimian, WBR scores across the board are generally lower than other servers due to various factors (lower player base, less competition, less drops on market, higher prices, player investment becomes more difficult etc), but of course, there will always be that one or two players here and there that can overcome such factors resulting in such a huge jump over 2nd-3rd rank. Klaipeda and Silute have it better with such factors and have a healthy population for competition, so scores are generally higher, but one can still see the few players in these servers that have a significant increase from 1st-3rd to 2nd-5th (though the slope is less steep) … and then there’s Telsiai where I see builds like Fencer | Matador | Doppelsoeldner come out, the competition between 1st-5th place (especially on Swordsman/Wizard/Archer) can be so competitive and close at times despite how peaceful it is and a whole 1st-5th place can out-DPS another server’s 1st-2nd place. I also heard that Telsiai’s TP-to-IRL-Cash rate is better than other servers, but I didn’t confirm this though if its true then player investment is easier as well. A player’s investment, experience, class build and other factors usually determines the WBR score, but I’m rather annoyed that Res Sacrae has such huge implications on the total WBR score and that I feel IMC really did not think this through when making Res Sacrae to the point of them capping its max level at some point to prevent players from progressing it further.

Its just a minor gripe of mine, but the fact that a single equipment tipped the balance that much over proper class balancing this much irritates me a little whenever I write the Round-Up as a reference to inform players of the state of class balancing, like that feeling watching Pyromancer-Taoist take Bokor over Elementalist despite the efforts IMC did to split elemental wizards apart and create synergies within their categories… JK its rather hard to describe this triggering.

Csiko · May 26, 2021, 11:05am

Not really a drama-inducing sentiment, Klai sort of has the inverse problem where no one wants to run res and hard res is just so late because of the time zone spread of the server pop that only a small handful of people even run it. Looking forward to those changes more than anything, and there’s no guarantee they’re coming anytime soon to itos.

As for class balance, it feels like wizards (and DPS clerics) are really in the “right” kind of place, comparatively, since there’s more than 1 (or 2) successful builds in the damn tree. The damage differences between builds aren’t orders of magnitude apart, which phys DPS base classes are currently suffering from. I agree that it’s unfortunate that they sort of over-buffed bokor but ele was dominant for 3 years, almost half the game’s life. That isn’t to say that I don’t think ele should be buffed or comparable, but I think IMC realizes that they are slow to make class changes (see recent Q&As) and they do sometimes fear over-buffing something and throwing the PVE meta into disarray until they can come up with a way to buff something else “enough” rather than pull the rug out from under a class they buffed.

Telsiai’s economy is totally different than Klai’s, they are very different culturally and I don’t think it’s just the TP cost. Server pop is one thing, but I would say the biggest difference in our economies is that Telsiai has a much higher % of actual “hardcore/end-game” PVE players, where Klai has a lot more casual/“cosmetics” players (I would say that Klai and Silute have more PVP-interested players though). Someone posted a screenshot recently of like 30 base camps outside Giltine on Telsiai, whereas the 4th/5th/6th 5 man Giltine groups only cleared in the last couple weeks on Klai and there are like 5 repair shops at Predzia on a good day. On the other hand though, there are like 20 base camps at a big GTW map entrance every Sunday on Klai, so I would argue that Tels’ priorities and Klai’s are just very different.

Don_Falce · May 26, 2021, 12:58pm

As far as Fedimian goes, i stopped caring about WSR since a while.
I’m not having much luck with enhancing so far, and there are people doing it in the middle of the night of the last day so that you can’t even try contesting them, so why should i even spend time and effort trying?
I just try to do a good try at the start of the week (unless there are attack bonuses on the weekend), take the total damage reward and leave it as that, avoiding any waste of time.

alex_rivera_a · May 26, 2021, 8:46pm

i think its time to move on from tos xd as much as i like the game it just feel like a chore for me now maybe things will change in the future but who knows maybe someday they ll stop making paladin a fuc king healer but who knows
