GM Meetup QnA Summary - May 16-17, 2017

Greetings, Saviors! As you may know, our GMs headed out to the servers on May 17-19, 2017, to meet players, answer questions and generally have fun with everyone. We’re immensely grateful to all the players who took the time to participate. Today, we are rounding up some of the questions players asked during this GM meetup to summarize a few of the topics discussed and provide some additional clarification on them. Here we go.   Combat System Changes Q. The last content update you did was considerably fast and had almost no differences from kTOS. Can we expect future content updates to happen at that pace now? A. The pace at which content is updated to iTOS will always differ according to the situation, but in cases such as big system reworks and the like, our goal is to bring them over to iTOS as fast as possible, like we did with the recent patch. Q. Saalus Convent missions feel harder than they were before the big changes. It’s only the bosses there that seem harder though; was this intentional? A. If you feel that Saalus Convent bosses became harder than before, you may want to check your defense and penetration numbers. A lot of combat-related values and calculations changed, so dealing with certain monsters is going to feel a little different. Q. How do you feel about the spike in players you saw after the combat changes, events and advertisement? A. We feel very grateful to the players who returned to TOS, those who just started playing, and of course all the others who continued to play, for the interest they have shown in our game. We certainly hope to continue providing more exciting events and working towards a fun TOS for everyone. Future Plans Q. Will you keep rebalancing other classes after the big changes? A. After the big combat changes and the character reset event, our goal is to keep improving on the specific problems of multiple classes. We briefly talked about this in our last Dossier post, so feel free to go over there to read about some of our plans for the future. Q. What plans do you have regarding GvG? When are the Regional Guild Battles coming back? If you’re thinking guild wars, we also mention a few changes we want to bring to guild contents in that last Dossier post we made, so you should definitely give it a read. As for Regional Guild Battles, they’ve been on standby for a while now, but our hope is to rearrange the format so we can bring them back for good. Please wait while the specifics are being sorted; we will announce more about the new format when it is ready. Q. What about Team Battle League? What can we expect for the future of TBL? A. It’s hard to be specific as of now, but we did discuss a few changes we’re thinking of implementing, again, in the fifth Dossier post. Please read that post for the full explanation, but in a nutshell, we want to revise both the format and the balance of Team Battle League matches. Q. When can we see Rank 9 and the new classes? A. Our goal is to release Rank 9 within this year; that’s what we’re working towards to at least. We can’t disclose any information about new classes yet, but we’ll make sure to lay out more details once we have something concrete. Q. Will the Adventure Journal be removed? A. The Adventure Journal will not be gone from the game; instead, we will be making some significant changes to how it works. We made an initial announcement about this some time ago in our official website, and we’ll continue to inform you via future announcements once more details about the Adventure Journal changes are out. Feedback Q. Do you see the feedback we leave on the forums about the latest issues? A. We always monitor the official forums and take note of the players’ feedback. We’re glad to see players discussing the issues there, and we hope you’ll continue to share with us your opinions and thoughts on the game. Q. I like Hunting Grounds, but the cube drop rates are too low. A. Item drop rates in Hunting Grounds are based on the same principles as those of other fields, so we haven’t felt like it was particularly difficult to obtain specific items in them. That said, we realize that the appeal of Hunting Grounds is largely due to unidentified items, so we won’t shy away from continuing to improve on them whenever we deem it necessary. Q. Clerics are too strong in this game, it seems like there’s nothing they can’t do. Is there a reason why only Cleric classes are like this? A. We understand why some players would feel this way, and considering that one of our goals for now is revising the balance of specific classes, the players’ feedback about them is definitely something we should keep in mind. We can’t say any changes will happen overnight, since these things take time, but do keep discussing the ways in which you would like to see each class improved. Q. Would you consider reducing the price for changing your team name? A. We may consider temporarily applying a discount for team name changes in the future during an event. However, we don’t currently have plans to permanently reduce the price. Q. We would like the option to change the name of a companion / not see the names of other players’ companions. A. We can see how those options would reduce two very real companion name-related frustrations. We do intend to improve some aspects of the game’s UI so we will take note of those ideas for the future. Bugs and Issues Q. After more people started playing in [SA] Silute, the lag became really bad, but it seems to have gotten better after the temporary maintenances. What changes did you make? A. We did notice quite an increase in the population of [SA] Silute after the big update, which caused a series of lag issues in the server. As explained in our announcement after the temporary maintenances of May 16 and 17, we added more machines to the server to expand its capacity and allow for a larger number of concurrent players. We’re continuing to monitor the situation in [SA] Silute both by checking the server ourselves and via player feedback. Q. If you write to a certain extent in the chat input window, the letters will become “hidden” in the UI and you can’t see what you’ve written. When is this bug being fixed? A. This is a bug we’re well aware of and working to fix. We don’t think it will take that much longer, and we’ll make sure to apply it to the game as soon as we have a solution. Cosmetic Q. The fashion sense of TOS costumes seems very Korean. A. As a game of Korean origin made by a Korean team, we believe it’s only natural that our costumes would be influenced by that, although we do tend to try on different concepts every time we release a new set of costumes. Feel free to leave your suggestions for new costumes in our official channels, too. It wouldn’t be the first time player feedback has inspired a new TOS outfit ;) Q. Would you consider introducing costume dyes? A. We like the idea of a costume dye that would allow you to change the color of your costume in the same way you do with hair dyes. Unfortunately this is an idea which has been postponed, as we found some unexpected obstacles inherent to how our system works when trying to develop a similar item. Q. How do you feel about a frying pan shield / candy cane rod? What about a bandana / leaf / giant bow hair accessory? [There were many more good suggestions; these are just a few examples.] A. The frying pan could very well work as a weapon, too, we think. A candy cane rod would look lovely paired with a Christmas costume or a candy hair accessory. We’re always surprised by the ideas players come up with for new items and we wish we could make them all a reality… We’ll make sure to continue creating more fun and quirky cosmetic items in the future.

Clarification on Survival and Victory Event Rewards

Greetings, Saviors. We would like to provide some clarification on the conditions required for receiving the Survival and Victory Event rewards. A. Weekly Challenge On our event announcement, we state that characters need to achieve 15 wins per week to qualify for the 300-point reward. We expect to give out the rewards to characters who achieved the required number of wins but still haven’t received their rewards as soon as possible. Note that this event’s point rewards are given on a per-character basis. Characters are eligible to receive the point rewards only if they achieved the total of 15 wins entirely through either 5v5 or 2v2 battles, i.e. 15 wins achieved through a mix of 5v5 and 2v2 battles will not be taken into consideration. B. Best Combatant Also, honorary titles obtained through this event will be exclusive to champions of 5v5, as those are the battles that count towards the weekly ranking. We apologize for the confusion our previous announcement may have caused and ask for your understanding. If you believe you are still eligible for a reward but haven’t received it, kindly send us a support ticket with your information so we may investigate your case. Thank you.

[VIDEO] Guild Territory Wars: How to Play

Greetings, Saviors!   We at the dev team have decided to put together a short post to refresh everyone on how to participate and enjoy our new GvG experience, the Guild Territory Wars.   If you are not sure what Guild Territory Wars is all about, you may wish to read up on it by taking a glance at our previous announcements.   - Popolion Post Page 24 [Link] - Announcement regarding the Beta Test [Link]   Please note that Guild Territory Wars is still in a [BETA] state and these rules are subject to change. We will announce any such changes via our Official Website!     [Before the War]   - Select whether to take part in the wars or not through an option in the Guild window.  - Please note that only the guild master will have the authority to opt in or out of Territory Wars.       [The War Begins!]   When the Territory Wars schedule starts, entering a Spot Area will require you to select one of two options at the green arrow in adjacent fields. Here you can jump right into the war zone, or skip the battle and enter the map as you normally would. After moving to the Spot Area, guild members can battle in true PvP style to either protect their seized Spot or seize the one held by the rival guild. Members of the guild that seized the Spot in the previous Territory Wars will be allowed to enter the Spot Area 5 minutes before the war begins to plan out their strategy.   Spot Areas   Spot Areas are maps where players can fight in Territory Wars, with Spots being the sections of land you can seize. According to the grade of the Spot Area, the rewards for seizing the corresponding Spot will be different. As of now, we have a total of three Spot Areas planned out (the ones in the table above), but we will consider adding more areas to the game depending on how they perform.   Seizing/Protecting a Spot   During the war, each Spot Area will contain a Territory Tower, with the land around it forming the Spot that can be seized by a guild. To gain hold of a Spot, guild members will need to earn points by advancing into the perimeter of the tower. The guild that currently holds the Spot, on the other hand, can fight back by reducing the points of the invaders. The final score will then determine which guild will hold that Spot during the next Territory Wars.   1) Earning Points (Invading Guild) The invading guild earns points every second according to the number of members within the perimeter of the Territory Tower. Below is a table that shows the amount of points earned by invading the Spot of the guild that holds it.   2) Taking Points (Protecting Guild) The guild protecting their Spot can deduct points from the invading guild, also according to the number of guild members within the perimeter of the Territory Tower. Here, too, the amount of points taken from the invading guild every second increases proportionally to the number of members of the protecting guild inside the Spot.   3) Final Score The first guild to score exactly 1,000 points in the war seizes the Spot. In certain situations, however, the guild may not be able to gain any more points, like in the example below.   If, like in this example, two or more guilds have gathered all the conditions to reach 1,000 points, their score will no longer increase. Instead, those guilds will need to gather all of their members inside the Spot in order to win. We should note that there’s still room for improvement in the point system, but we will keep you notified of any changes.       [Additional Strategies]   1) Protector Buff Guilds that succeed in seizing a Spot will receive a special Protector Buff that boosts their members’ combat abilities. Not only that, the more wars a guild manages to keep hold of a Spot, the more intense the effects of the buff will be.   2) Strategic Elements - Boss Monsters During the war, a powerful boss monster will appear, which guild members can defeat in order to receive temporary beneficial effects. These boss monsters can make a big difference in the amount of points you earn or take, becoming an important part of your guild’s strategy. We do, on the other hand, understand that there could be aspects about this feature we haven’t fully predicted, so we’re open to adjusting any rules necessary to make the system as fair as possible.   - Spot Amplifier The Spot Amplifier is a structure that extends the seizable Spot beyond the perimeter of the Tower, decentralizing the dispute and allowing guilds to stack up their points through different strategies. The Amplifier can be destroyed, and the guild of the player who deals the last blow to it receives additional points as reward.   - Safe Zone  The delimited area around the green arrow in the Spot Area is designated as a Safe Zone, where attacks are nullified. This zone can be used for guild members to restore their stats or for other tactical purposes.

[UPDATE] Known Issues: October 24, 2017

Greetings, Saviors.   We are currently aware of the following issues. We will keep you updated on further procedures. 1) Disconnect in Halloween Event Dungeon  Players have reported that they are facing random disconnects from the server while in the Halloween Event Dungeon, "Creepy Klaipeda." We are currently investigating the matter.    This issue has now been resolved. 2) Lag Related Movement Issue  We are checking reports of players facing lag while moving around the map. This has also been occurring in the Halloween Event Dungeon causing other players to appear to be invisible or to appear as though they are teleporting.    3) The Ultimate Monster Tamer Rewards  After the maintenance on October 24, 2017, there was an issue of the number of Blue Orb pieces that needed to be traded not matching with the number of pieces written in the official event announcement. This issue has been resolved. However if you happened to spend more than the correct number of Blue Orb pieces to obtain your rewards, please contact us via Support Ticket detailing the reward and how many pieces you spent. We will then verify the amount and return the excess pieces to you.    let us know via Support Ticket if you are experiencing other problems. When reporting issues, please be as detailed as possible. Screenshots, character/team/server/class details and timestamps would be greatly appreciated. The more information we have on a specific issue, the quicker it will be resolved.
