Iām also pretty much done with the game.
I had convinced my best friend to get into the early access but he quit a few days ago because he got really bored of questing.
I used all of my EXP cards in a desesperate and futile attempt to reach rank 6, fully knowing I didnāt have enough of them but I simply didnāt care anymore. I got stuck at level 172/13.
Iāve done all of the quests I could (Iāll talk more about questing later on), explored as many maps as possible too but that wasnāt enough to reach level 175 and unlock the newest dungeon. So Iām stuck doing the following: doing my daily missions and quests (the level 160 dungeon isnāt even worth the effort) or killing monsters for the Wings of Viboraās cards which are painfully hard to obtain because of the absurdly long respawn times and the extremely low mob density.
Nonetheless, I religiously did my daily missions runs for the past few days and it hit me how anti-social the community is: you can forget about making a pre-made party with strangers, itās gonna take you hours if you can even manage to do it. Therefore, I was stuck using the party finder and I must say, people are really rude: I always say hello but most of the time, nobody replies back, it was as if I was playing with bots.
It was also at that moment that Iāve noticed the lack of idle chatter in towns: except for goldspammers, nobody talks in that game or rather they probably do but on discord/TS/mumble/whatever which make cities a pretty sad sight to behold.
I said earlier I was going to talk about quests, I really think this is ToSā Achillesā heel: I wanted to make tons of alts (Iām playing a sapper and I wanted to try out the cataphract, alchemist and druid classes) but whatās the point?
The main way to progress in this game doesnāt come from partying and using all the cool spells you get along the way but from mindless questing. And I really donāt want to fetch herbs, sow seeds, put up advertisement boards/scarecrows, harvest crops, fix fences, retrieve wood logs or whatever asinine stuff the game wants me to do for EXP cards.
I really want Tree of Savior to succeed, Iāve been waiting since late 2011 for this game to release after all and the classes system is pretty awesome. Unfortunately, I donāt think they will ever turn what is currently a linear theme park MMO into a open world, sandbox one.
Farewell guys, even if I no longer do, I hope you have fun with the game.
