What's your biggest concern?

[leperkhaun]

Things that I have seen people talk about, in no particular order:

1. Pet AI. This affects several classes to the point where people go, pets suck so dont play those classes without knowing you are going to be really underpowered.

2. Some classes/ranks are rarely used. Sometimes this is because the other choices at that rank are so strong or because the class/rank isnt very good. Some of the support classes are not really used since they dont provide enough of a boost to make up for not bringing in another non-support class.

3. it would be neat to give monks a weapon like brass knuckles that meshes with their unarmed fighting style.

End game PvP/GvG, it does not have to be implemented now, but maybe in the next 6 months, we need an end game MASSIVE war involving many guilds.

P2W content in the future.

Bots/gold selles.

And, of course, PING!

[rodrigo.batera]

We need:

1- For buffs and debuffs to tell us EXACTLY what they do in the tooltips.

2- Better feedback. I want to know how much XP everything gives. Output this in chat window.

3- Better flying text. I need something to show me when I’m silenced, when my attacks miss, etc. Maybe tint my character some color, I don’t know.

4- Better target selection, it’s random at best right now, even with Target Lock on. Annoying if you play with a controller.

For now, PvE in general. It’s all very simple and easy, something like join mobs and spending skills … miss strategies.
I worry the fact that there really not terrifying monsters … joining with WHAT I said above makes the most casual game possible and for little kids, really.

[valkyrie_regalia]

Thank you for asking. My biggest concern is actually how some skills are grossly under-powered. For example, Ice Blast and Flare are both still too weak to be considered sensible to invest in. Many of the rank 7 skills only do one hit with no attack scaling, making their damage output very low and disappointing. A good example of this is Sorc’s circle 3 skills such as Evocation and Desmodus.

[TreeSports] The PVP dream Free camera mode, shoutcasters, tournaments

I want to see the PVP in this game grow. Not just into a GVG scene, but with IMC hosted tournaments for prizes and titles. There would be shoutcasters commentating on every move, official twitch streams, and hundreds of spectators in-game with the floating nico comments. [image] The PVP in this game, despite being sorta unbalanced, is very enjoyable. There's a lot of odd interaction with skills that keep things interesting. Like a Cata impaling an aukuras on accident or a Druid telepathing…

probably my biggest concern is how PVP will grow in this game. If you can take a look at my thread

• There needs to be a “Free camera” mode for spectators. At the moment it’s locked to player POV.
• There’s no party or ranked queue. Battle League is random. We should be able to queue in as a party or custom lobby of some kind.
• Tournament brackets and such should be a thing

x3 + x3 + baseclass really.

My biggest concern is not having a friendly, approachable and active staff. I believe that in order for an MMO to strive on, there needs to be a positive relationship between the staffs/admins and the community. It should be a community where players can voice their concern and not worry about whether the staffs paid attention to their voices. I love the game, and i hope that i can love IMC staff too

I’m worried that not having trading between my own characters will limit my desire to keep playing the game over time. I want to feel like I still have my old progress when I make new characters (to some degree, anyways).

Plus, all of my characters share their team name! They are supposed to be a team! Why can’t I help the other characters in my team? It just seems weird.

[jinfin]

my concern is, why class is always not balance? swordman tree is an example. i am terrible disappointed when i played swordman at krToS. PvP? kill nothing, die mostly. skills are all related to close range, depending too much on dodge and DEF. if investing too much on evasion (DEX) and HP (CON), will lose efficiency of strength (STR). even, there is no special multiplier apply for swordman class like boost swordman DEF at attribute. like archer c3, they have swift steps (very a lot stats at dodge, moving speed, critical rate), like wizard c3 they have casting time reducing 50%, like cleric c3 they got steady safety zone. but swordman c3, nothing special? this is very disappointed. you guys still nerfed the highlander where the swordman kept all the hope? even before skyliner being nerfed, 80% swordman classes attack skills are considered lower DPS output comparing to cleric/archer/wizard.

is IMC telling us swordman should play at tanker path and not a DPS path?

[send2kennethlee]

• Lower cooldowns on skills. Even with the charge some are way too long
• Balance of stats, I don’t want dex all the way so boring

Levelling with friends:

The game is largely driven by questing and running dungeons, and there isn’t much open world grinding ( which is really confusing, because your CEO said that ToS is a grinding game, but where is the grinding? ).

Dungeons help somewhat, since within a certain level range you are able to level with any of your friends that are also in that range. However dungeons are also bad, because they remove people from the open world. Quests are really bad for this, because in order to pair up with a friend you have to be exactly in sync with them on a certain questline. I’ve had several session with people where we spend 1-2 hours redoing the other person’s questline just to get sync’d up, and then one of us has to leave and the problem starts all over again.

If open world grinding were made viable, you could simply party up with a group of friends within a larger level range, and just grind together.

This also would help with the replayability value of the game:

Currently, the most efficient way to level is to do all the quests, because exp cards are so much better than the exp given by killing monsters. If you start a new character, you are going to do all the quests again, your path is already decided. Even the addition of Orsha didn’t help this, because exp cards are just too strong still. People now just do all the quests in both Klaipeda AND Orsha. This makes creating new characters fairly boring.

If instead there were many varied viable grinding maps, that allowed a choice for different characters ( based on how good their class was at efficiently killing these mobs ), you could play the game differently on each character. You could pick and choose which quests you wanted to do, grind when you felt like grinding, or if you wanted to go dungeoning for a bit. There would be more choice, and through that the game would be more interesting.

Well said, these are huge problems, the social aspect and progression

[lubi_avai]

1 - Optimization

2 - P2W content in the future.

3 - Classes Viability

4 - Worried about not having 1-1 trade and can’t share my own storage between my characters without pay

5 - BOTS

[Chihiro]

Actually even worse:

There should be a way to queue up for the random party finder with friends–or the bonus for pre-made parties should be the same as doing it randomly.

It makes me sad that a lot of people will refuse to play with their friends, because they will get less experience that way.

I have friends. Don’t penalize me for it, please!

Pw2 and restrict trade and restrict market @.@

@Staff_Julie

My biggest concern is the long term plan for ToS, I want the game to succeed and i want IMC as a company to succeed too.

My main questions revolve around the ability that you guys will be able to keep this game running for years to come. What is your long term plan? Will you be adding more content regularly?

Could you provide us with player stats like other game companies have done? How many people have bought the founders packs? 50, 30 and 10$ versions?

How is kToS doing at the moment? Are there still a healthy amount of players? if not, how will you be attempting to get new players to join or old players to come back?

Can you assure the players that IMC have a long term plan for the game? at the least 3-4 years?

Will you be selling ToS Merchandise? Such as shirts, water flasks, puzzles or Maggi’s art books? if so, where can we buy these?

If you could shed some light on the questions asked here i would very much appreciate that.

Thank you so much and hope to see you ingame somtime x3

[chronosanct]

There’s also the question of… if kToS tanks completely, would imc promise to continue developing for iToS? Many western releases of Asian mmos stop when the asian devs move onto another project. What assurances would the western community have that the same won’t happen here?

Without this information… iToS could just be a cash and dash… after all, their traditional main player base is in Korea anyways…

[christopherwolfe.91]

Class resets. This is going to be incredibly important and annoying in the future. In a perfect world, we could be any combination of classes and all be regarded as viable, but we all know this won’t be the case. At some point, skills will be nerfed or buffed and class combinations will no longer be viable or become incredibly over/underpowered. Expecting somebody to just reroll a character they’ve put thousands upon thousands of hours into is completely unreal and people are more likely to quit than bother with that.

[elfochka]

Class balance and inability to change circles after buffs and nerfs. I dont wanna people switch circles like gloves but how to deal with the issue then?

Impossible to play with friends if you want max exp per day after lvl 200. Impossible to queue with a friend in the dungeon finder.

Nothing to do afetr lvl 200, only 2-4 dungoun runs and missons per day, then what?

Outdoor maps are bad for grinding. No quests after 200+.

The market system restrictions may kill the ecpnomy.

Most low rank classes do not scale well into late game.

Pyro fireballs still get kicked by others.

I’m really concerned about the current state of necromancer. Why use those corpse potion if the whole gimmick is about necromancers farming corpses(rpg-gasm), i saw people last cbt who didnt take any points to gather corpse or disinter and just spam corpse potion all the way!!

Either remove the potion or remove the corpse system at all! I really like the idea of necromancer getting corpse of this and that but it doesnt feel satisfying because of that freakin potion.

Possible solutions (when corpse potion is removed // damn i use that word a lot):

1. Increase the cap of corpses you can hold (at least 1000 or no restriction at all) farm all you can!!
2. Or just make necromancer’s skills (e.g Flesh cannon) more satisfying to use (more damage) because you can only use it to a limited amount.

Random rants:
How is decay status useful as flesh cannon’s attribute?
Please at least give shoggoth (if shoggoth is still the tentacle thing) additional tentacles depending on the card equipped, by tentacle i mean modified looks! For example i equipped mineloader card, shoggoth will have an armored eye. Something similar to that haha.

Or just ignore this whole post. I’m playing necromancer anyways
