      Another publisher bought the rights and is going to launch its own Global ToS server. Separate from the Steam one.
      So basically a fresh start with a different publisher.

          And nothing is really changing about the game? They are not reverting any of the terrible decisions they made to the level progression or the reverting the changes to the class progression that ruined all the uniqueness it had? Ok cool.

          Yeah it's not a redesign of the game or even an old build. Might be fun for a few weeks.

        i have about 1500 hours in this game SA server.
        but the whales(gms disguised) ruled the server.
        what fricked me more was the unbalanced of the classes.
        it started good, but they fricked up, with giving mount to unmounted classes fricking mounting classes advantage.
        in the end it all came to be the mage class, to latter it all came to be item RNG.
        it had VERY potential to be another ragnarok on SA. but it was very sad how things went.
        turned on to a cashgraber Black person server.
        it would´ve been better to put a monthly fee.

        i hope what you are saying it´s true, but they need to balance right, because centurion was almost never used because they fricked the classes purpose with unbalanced logic.

          Fresh launches can be successful for dead games but in this case seems like they failed to drum up any sort of hype. I'm assuming the monetization will be the worst kind of P2W shit. Picked the worst possible release date too overlapping with Diablo 4's launch.

          In some alternate universe they reworked ToS to be a great game and then relaunched it for massive success.

            they would have to fix all of that, plus terrible quests, horrible engine, terrible map design, and so many more like botting, economy, dupes, basically a brand new game

            I sold my 3090 ti because there isn't a single game that I wan to play, I just want something like ToS or RO but single player or coop, I really like the world, artstyle and combat

              Same, man, I love exploring and the simple skill based real time gameplay most MMOs have.
              The closest singleplayer experience I got to that was xenoblade chronicles.

        Soooo it still has the same shitty problems then. A fresh start is meaningless if the game is still filled with the shit that makes it suck like way to many worthless classes and all that P2W shit.

      It might work if they reworked the entire game around grinding and scrapped like all the quests it has. The combat was pretty fun.

          It was grind heavy because the game was unfinished and the devs lowered the XP rate to avoid people running out of content. But the game wasn't designed for grinding so there was pretty much nowhere to grind. There was that one non-instance dungeon at like ~75 and another at ~130 but everywhere else had like no spawns from what I remember.

          Instead of shitty linear quest focused zones they should've made them open with plenty of mobs providing players variety of camps for grinding. Questing for XP in MMORPGs was a mistake.

            You are straight up wrong, a lot of older maps have specialized mechanics for grinding that spawn monsters, but due to MMO laziness people just grinded the same maps (Demon Prison, BEES, Alamemth Forest, Abbey). But a lot of maps had weird gimmicks and heavy spawns most people didn't engage with.

              I guess people weren't aware of them at launch. I remember that people flooded into Demon Prison because there was nothing else and it seemed like you ran out of EXP cards if you kept using them instead of leveling at Demon Prison.

      The launch was a shitshow. The game was straight up broken and had a bunch of hacks and exploits because the devs apparently had no clue how to make an MMORPG. It was only second to New World in that sense but not as popular so the information about how terrible it was didn't spread that much. I wish I had saved/recorded some of the shit back then. There was shit like remotely completing quests all around the game from the starting zone to breaking the class restrictions and picking whatever classes you wanted to attacking everything on the screen disregarding any target limits or attack ranges.

      On top of all that the game was released heavily unfinished. The content kinda just ran out and they had set the xp multiplier such that you ran out of quests and had to grind to progress BUT the game wasn't designed around grinding so there were almost no good spots to grind in. If you kept questing through level ranges that had good grinding spots you could soft-brick your character by getting stuck in level ranges where there were nothing good to farm on so you'd take forever to level up. Them going for a questing focus in the first place was a mistake. The combat was fun and it really should've been a grinding based game like RO was. In that sense the devs didn't understand their audience despite pretending to be a spiritual successor to RO.

      Then there was the whole token shit. If you didn't have a token you were a second class citizen in the game. Sure you could buy tokens with ingame money from other players but good luck earning that much without a token since it limited you so heavily.

        No, the class system and its variety is actually one of the big advantages of the game.

        The issue is the insane gear grind and new gear types being added pretty much every month with RNG layers upon RNG layers to enhance them.

        So I’m getting that the main problem is that the end game sucks balls due to too much RNG shit?
        Is the basic loop before that at least entertaining? If a drag a friend into it could we have some fun before end game or is it a headache all the way through

            They changed the system at some point and removed circles. Now you can only pick two (or three?) advancing classes as whole with all circles. No more rainbow characters made of 7 circle 1 classes.

                I haven't played it with the changes so I don't know how it is but it seems like overall a good change. You still get your starting class + 3 classes. A lot of the old builds were absolutely moronic due to how you had to pick a bunch of random circles just to get where you wanted to be. The original skill balance was also terrible but I don't know how it is now. Originally anything that multihitted was OP because of how things scaled.

                I hate that they fricked with the mainhand/offhand items. Hackapell was supposed to be a sword+gun class but then it turned into a sword+1hcrossbow class and eventually became a Swordsman class with no ranged at all. Makes me fricking mad as a Finn.

                The Scout class sounds supremely moronic. So they basically ripped all the classes that would drastically change gear setups out of the main 4 and made it into a specialist class?

                Kinda so you can fully commit to dagger/pistol as main weapon. Classes like e.g. Cannoneer are still part of their respective tree. Scout also covers utility/farming classes like Corsair, Linker and Thauma for some odd reason. I can understand this change though. Many dagger or pistol based classes didn't work with others of the same tree so they were far more restrictive or you had to pick something you'd never use. However this also removed some fun combinations like Bullet Marker and Quarrel Shooter doing run and dual gun.

                I think a lot of that was due to how they kept changing what could be used in MH and OH. If swords, daggers, pistols and 1h crossbows were all both MH and OH it would've made it way more functional. They kept making some really weird choices and had to change the classes as a result. I think it ultimately let to the creation of the Scout class because they couldn't make them make sense. Though still there was a lot of weirdness in there. IIRC Rogue was the first Archer class you could get that had anything to do with melee and a lot of the choices leading up to it didn't make much sense. And then the melee portions of Rogue were garbage. Well the whole class was terrible when I played it.

                Obviously there were meta builds but technically everything was possible as long as your combination had aoe clear, the weapon restrictions on the skills overlapped and most importantly you had the gear for it. Only my first character had a meta build but I rerolled it to something more fun and I still managed cause of my gear.
                >going full on Ranger was pretty much the only option for Archer at launch
                Archer 3 was very mandatory duo to the self buff skills and the attributes on C3 but not Ranger cause of the bow weapon requirement. Sure Ranger was super strong early but If you wanted Musketeer or Schwarzer Reiter it didn't add anything to your build.

                >Sure Ranger was super strong early but If you wanted Musketeer or Schwarzer Reiter it didn't add anything to your build.
                Yeah I suppose it only mattered early on with how the balance was but it made your leveling journey so much smoother. I only got to like level 150 before I quit because of all the problems the game had back then.

                Pistols were originally intended to be a MH weapon. Schwarzer Reiter used to be a Pistol/Shield class till they eventually made Pistol OH. Bullet Marker then came with a skill that replicates your Pistol to be both MH and OH which was also pretty weird but hey dual wielding looked cool.

                My favorite part about Hunter was how, if I ran into an enemy guild player, I could just order the pet to bite and he would be entirely defenseless while slowly being mauled to death without even the chance of fighting back.

                I had an Archer3/Hunter3/Appraiser/Musketeer3 I think at the end for pvp. I used Rush Dog and then looped my single target CC skills forever. The only problem was that all Clerics had infinite amounts of block so not a single attack went through. Archers were all in all pretty mediocre outside of some falconer builds for the AoE in pve. Clerics were beyond busted on the other hand.

                Cause of the crappy stat system. All stats beside Con used to be shit as all damage you did came from the weapon and Con gives you both HP and higher block with shield. Since magic cannot miss all you needed on your cleric was a +12 weapon. Pump everything into Con to run around with 40k hp, infinite block, sustain thanks to heals and damage straight out of hell. They eventually reworked the stat system but it's still bad.

                Whatever it was the way they had set it up fricked so many builds with those weapon restrictions. Really poor design. From what I remember each change that was intended to fix something also fricked over some other build. Most of it wouldn't have been an issue if they weren't MH/OH specific.

                I personally didn't mind it except for the very few cases when the class circles overlapped and you wanted both. In this case you had to come up with a compromise. Falc 3 and Musketeer 2 or Fence 3 and Matador 2 was one of those cases back in the day I think. Those restrictions however also encouraged creativity. I ended up picking Ninja on my Fencer as filler class and it became my favourite character. I laughed my ass off every time I played it. Naruto running around with a shadow clone army honhonhon'ing enemies with the rapier was pure kino. For min/maxing the new system is obviously better but it surely reduced the fun factor.

                I feel like previously you were limited by the system and encouraged to minmax by creating the few good combinations that were possible and this new system SEEMS to be better suited for picking what you want to play. Maybe they went a bit too far in the other direction. It's a bit weird if you can pick anything at low level.

                Like I remember how going full on Ranger was pretty much the only option for Archer at launch because it was so much stronger than all the other options. It sort of felt like you were gimping your character if you didn't go Ranger 3. Of course that probably changed many times before this new system even got in the game but anyway. Going off my memories from 7..? years ago so it's not very detailed.

My memories are pretty vague at this point but it was something like for the quests that didn't really have any conditions you could complete remotely by passing the right command to the server. So some anon did that and then picked whatever classes he wanted because he also found a way to do that.

          I have some random KR beta screenshots saved for some reason but couldn't find any of the massive exploits. It might sound ridiculous but the game was seriously broken. They gave the client far too much authority.

        The enemies are absolutely one of the reasons ToS sucks. Exploding entire screens worth of enemies feels like you just entered a cheat code that made you overpowered, the fun lasts maybe 30 minutes. You have all these class and skill combinations but in the end they only serve the purpose of making the screen explode.

        The way pet targetting worked was different from how the bow auto-attackeds did, which is why so many people go upset about the pets just going off and attack Crystals instead.

        In reality all you had to do was look into the general direction of what you wanted, "assign" it as a target with a few auto attacks and the pet would auto use skills on its own. There was no need to hit any buttons unless you wanted to change targets halfway.

    The most fun build was my first character, an Archer1>QuarrelShooter3>Rogue2>Cannoneer. I just held Running Shot the whole time while Rogue provided me with some backstab thing that worked on ranged attacks - when Running Shot ended I would break out the big dick cannon for 30 seconds until the RS cooldown was over. As far as I understand such a build is no longer possible.

      Rogue is now part of Scout but the rest still works. They added more weapon specific classes to the respective trees like Tiger Hunter for rifle or in your case Matross for Cannoneer so you have more Cannon skills at hand. Likewise you could pick now Scout with Rogue and e.g. Assassin if you want more dagger action.

        The problem with most MMORPGs is that devs try to cram in crap that is secondary to the core design of the game by publisher and player mandate to further milk idiots. So quests are redesigned, systems are added, classes are rebalanced, grind is increased, bugs that people accept that it's because 'its a beta' make their way into the finished product, and remain unfixed for literal years.

      The Steam version is 100% designed around late game whales and nothing else now. The new character experience isn't designed as if you are a new player, it's designed as if you are someone who already has maxed out characters making an alt.
      What this means is that the moment you start your new character you will be assaulted by about 10 different log in bonuses giving you late-game reward items that are for mechanics and items you have no idea even exist yet before you even take your first step. Then you will walk a few steps, swing at some level 1 enemies and then realize you are now level 21 in the tutorial. If you bother following the main story quest-line, you will quickly realize all bosses die in three hits.

            Endgame is always focused around raids and lockouts and mandatory daily/weekly chores. That's very different from leveling when you have the time or when you feel like it. If the goal is some level cap that takes forever to reach then there's no need to rush. You can just enjoy the journey which is how it should be.

              That's more of an issue with timegated content and releasing content with a limited shelf life, rather than a leveling vs endgame thing. Personally the best MMO experience I've had was with guild wars 1 where you reached max level very quickly and all content was balanced around max level. There were timegates or anything and you could just take your time to do all content you wanted at your own pace. The expansions didn't increase the level cap either, which meant that all old content was relevant as well.

            If you play Tree of Savior right now you'll realize why it's such a huge difference.
            The leveling process in an MMORPG is something that is always designed to take place across the vast majority of the game world, and MMORPGs at their core are about having a huge game world. Tree of Savior has tons of different maps, areas and enemies.
            In the CBT where you leveled up slowly, you would go through each of these areas slowly, get used to each map, the enemies you're fighting, the music in the background, etc. However in the current iteration, you will kill a single digit number of enemies and then the map will be useless to you, meaning you're spending 95% of your time just running through maps quickly and then 5% actually doing something interesting. You won't remember anything enjoyable like the great music, the environments or the actual combat.
            End game grinding is where game compacts as much grind into as small of a piece of content as possible, like grinding the same map, boss or dungeon hundreds of times. It might be neat at first and you'll remember how it goes, but inevitably it'll get boring and stale.

            This is why more and more people are realizing that the leveling process is generally the best part of the game, because leveling up is where you access 99% of the content the game has to offer. If players are expected to spend 99% of their time on 1% of content at end game, then you have a problem.

              Thank you anon for putting it to words.

              There should be a focus on keeping the world relevant. Ragnarok originally did it really well with how a large variety of monsters of different levels had valuable drops. You could usually find something that gave you decent xp and had the chance of dropping something nice but you also had the option of disregarding xp and going for the super valuable drops or seeking out those maximum xp spots that might have not had much in the way of drops. The sort of openness it had is rarely seen in the genre. It was also brutal in how little guidance it gave to the players. Of course wikis trivialized a lot of that but even then I welcome it when an MMORPG just drops me in the world and leaves me to figure it out instead of making me follow a bunch of exclamation marks and waypoint markers.

              Not only does the modern MMORPG scene have an obsession with rushing to the endgame, they also tend to ruin and invalidate all previous content with each update. On top of that they destroy the leveling experience like in ToS. Even if it was once decent it will inevitably get corrupted for the sake of getting people to endgame faster. It almost makes me believe that an MMORPG cannot survive the passage of time as enough updates to one will inevitably ruin it.

      They did the same thing to TERA. They realized that no one wants to play their grindy themepark because the themepark sucks and the only balancing and bugfixing they have done is at the very end game where only 10% of the playerbase currently is. So they give everyone the option to just skip there or make everything so trivial that even the most casual player makes it there in a few minutes.

      TERA's entire allure for non-weebs was the giant world bosses roaming the map that you could solo if you're good enough, now die in literally one or two hits from the weakest classes. Which seems to be what ToS did as well.

          Endgame pvp was completely dominated by spellcasters duo to the decision that magic cannot miss or be blocked. This made Wizards but especially Clerics completely busted, latter cause they also had tools to get around CCs which where pretty broken as well. Swordie was still acceptable if you invested hard into gear but archer was borderline useless. The average match was Clerics outtanking each other while everything else died within a few seconds. There was only one dude with the best gear on the entire EU server who assraped all those spellcasters with a Cata but those frickers eventually banned him for RMT or notting or some shit.

      dont know past the class remake but all you want in the endgame is AoE clear and Musketeer felt in this department kinda short having one AoE spread shot, one line shot with push back and the rest was pretty much single target with ricochet or buffs for auto attacks that stacked well with e.g. Quarrel Shooters Running Shot. Tiger Hunter would be the obvious choice as additional class and as third at least back in the day Falconer was popular for the AoE Boost, Quarrel Shooter cause of the running shot buff (but might require a crossbow as secondary to ge tthe most out of it) and obviously all classes that didn't have weapon restrictions on the skills like Appraiser/Pied/Hunter/Sapper/Wugushi.

          Endgame used to be that they throw assloads of hp sponge monsters at you. Boss damage was kinda secondary. I had a Musketeer cause I also like rifles but it was my least useful character sadly till I eventually rerolled it using event stuff. But take this information with a grain of salt. The class rework was like 3 or 4 years ago but going through the Tiger Hunter skills rifles still seem to be a more Boss/PvP focues weapon. Respec was possible but only with cash outside of events and they used to have Class reset events here and there, at least with every new batch of class releases or if a class was reworked but this also might have changed. Archer was the weakest class tree all in all sadly.

      We got a crew from /vm/ playing Ragnarok Online on a server called DeviruchiClub but the server is quickly going defunct. Some of us are hype for moving to this ToS server which will conveniently come next week. We know it's going to be awful most likely but should tide us over for a few weeks.

    I forgot how buggy this game was. Did you beat this before they nerfed it? Before R9 came out.

      I never made it past F5 cause all my classes where either fun and thus off meta or didn't have the gear requirement. Shit was moronic anyway. With token you had to grind daily 2h for 6 months to get the entire set.

        Yes, it was moronic, but I still did the whole thing and grinded for the whole set before there were floor skips for solmiki, it took 45 minutes to do a single 35F run and you had to do 2 per day, and then the silver cost to get the gear in a reasonable amount of time was really expensive too, it was terrible endgame content, but I still did it...

          Respect that you actually went through all the progress. The most moronic thing I did was farming for a whole week 10h a day the Manahas Pants I didnt get them. I eventually had enough after the weapon I worked one month for ended up with +6 being worse than my current one.

              If you played on EU yea most likely. I channel hopped and I remember some Oracle dude but I usually skipped this instance then so the guy can keep on resetting.

                Nah I played on US. It drove me insane because some fricker is trying to farm the set 25x slower. I had the set when it was bugged and didn’t even work right.

                I mean I tried it the same way but eventually gave up. For farming you needed an Oracle for the rare shit and Thauma/linker for more common crap. Thinking back I cant believe I managed nearly 3k hours without losing it.

    Who is the new publisher?

    • 10 months ago

      what happened

      See

      The original Dev of the game is IMC games. They self publish the game on Steam for global release and had Nexon do the Asian version.
      Nexon tapped out and gave the servers back to IMC in Asia, and they merged them all into one.
      This is one thing, not what we're talking here.

      Papaya Play bought the rights and is making their own Global server, not based on Steam. This is going to be in English and hosted in Canada.

      NO! Don't you understand! Wizard NEEDED another summoning class, especially after giving so many classes that don't make sense to scout!

        Wizard players whined about having to take non summoner classes and Bokor barely worked as anything but “lol hexing and Mackangdal” so I see why they changed it. Like I had a “Bokor” character but it was solely to use Mackangdal and the speed buff.

        Bokor actually had its shit together for a while just before imc decided to ruin the entire fricking class system for no reason.
        Hell, even before then, I managed to hold the top spot in arena for a while.

          PvP was always niché in this game and got only added after they got flooded with requests. You could straight up tell given the balance.

            Miko was oracle 1 before Miko existed. I used to also have priest 1 in there at some point too, but being able to revive party members became less and less useful.

              I loved how helpless psychokinos became if you had the audacity to shut them down with an oracle. Like, they had literally no idea what to do after you give em the ol yellow ball treatment.
