GM QnA Session : April 7th, 2017

  Greetings, Saviors! We are sharing here a compilation of the questions answered at our latest GM meetup in a summarized Q&A format. Thank you to everyone who showed up!   Q : Do you have any plans to launch more gesture macros?      A : As you can see from our recent video, yes, we will launch more gestures in a future patch.   Q : Can I get detailed information regarding Rank 9?  A : I hope to know the exact date of arrival.    We are planning to release Rank 9 this year; you will be informed via an announcement on our website once it is ready.   Q : There aren't that many bugs on kTOS, why do we have them in iTOS?     A : That's not quite true. It has been our highest priority to continue to reduce the amount of bugs that may be found and we have made considerable progress in doing so.  If there are still bugs that remain they can be reported on the Forum so that we can address them and develop the game further.    Q : Getting disconnected in TBL (Team Battle League) is a big waste of time. I hope you can make a system to re-enter TBL.     A : Thank you so much for your nice suggestion, we will pass it on for the proper team to consider. However, we think creating stable connection conditions in TBL is more important than a re-entry system. We will keep trying to stabilize our servers and client.   Q : Client unexpectedly closing errors occur frequently after the migration to VS 2015. I'm wondering if you're fixing it.    A : Yes it's our top priority and it's not always caused by VGA related issues.    Q : I wonder if you a plan to punish people who leave the party after entering the Royal Mausoleum or Canyon missions in Saalus Convent.     A : We do not have plans for that yet, but we will inform our designers about this issue and try to find an improvement.   Q : We feel that we have a lack of end-game contents. Do you have any plans to make more end-game contents?     A : To be honest, we are not sure of what end-game contents are coming but we guess more plans will be released after the rebalance patch.    Q : We are facing the problem of 0% map exploration for 2 weeks now. When can we expect this issue to be resolved? A : Our dev team members are still finding out the reasons for the 0% map exploration problem. We will try to fix it as soon as possible.    Q : We are really curious about how IMC improved the DPK system in iTOS. Can you explain what things have been changed and improved?     A : As we have done with the Mystical Cube, we are planning to have an interview with the team to give you more detailed information through the dev blog.   Q : There is bug on the Cyclone skill that reduces it from level 15 to level 1 sometimes, which often causes less damage.     A : We have the same bug on kTOS too, we've already informed our QA team to test and we hope it is fixed soon.   Q : Do you plan to do anything about players who didn't get any Practonium from the Mystical Cube even after trying for 3 months?     A : We know many players have complaints about the RNG system of the Mystical Cube and we will forward them for possible improvements   Q : Many players don't know the Unstable Cube can expire. What are your plans to improve this?     A : The team has made a few UI adjustments that will display this information more easily to players. Please wait a little longer for the update.   Q : It's a shame that not many people play the field bosses, it feels like the content is being wasted. Any changes planned for field bosses?     A : That's a fair point. We will pass on this feedback to the designers and maybe request for more field boss events, for example with cubes.   Q : I like GM meetpus, but I wish there was a dev meetup too.     A : GMs do pass on all your feedback to the dev team, and we try to give you information back from the devs too. That's the reason we have the dev blog on our website.   Q : Any plans to add new level 270 and 315 items?     A : We're looking forward more 270/315 items too, but we can't be sure of when they will be released. They are still in development.   Q : Why are words like "hunt" censored in the chat window?     A : We agree, and we will try to improve this.   Q : I saw in your combat changes video preview that you're rebalancing a lot of aspects in the game, does that mean we're getting a class reset too?     A : Yes, we want to open a reset event when this rebalance update arrives. You can read more details about it on our dev blog.   Q : Do you know that some skills are causing fps drops?     A : Yes, we are aware that skills like Divine Might can cause fps drops especially in TBL. We are working to find the cause and will try to fix it.   Q : Are the new user event rewards tradable?     A : No, the event rewards are untradable.   Q : There's a problem where I can't see the quest NPC.     A : Please send in a ticket about your specific quest so we can try and help you.   Q : Will non-Token users be able to use Team Storage too?     A : Many players have made this request. Something is being worked on, but the final changes will be announced later when they are ready.   Q : I wish there were checkpoints in the Solmiki Area like we have in the Lolopanther Area.    ​ A : That's a good idea. It could help improve disconnection issues as well.   Q : Can you make the Kabbalist's Revenged Sevenfold be less powerful in PvP?     A : PvP balance is next on our list of improvements, but we can't be sure of which skills will be affected.   Q : What are you doing about the people who abused the Symbol of Wealth issue?     A : We did not ban anyone, but they are on our watchlist.   Q : Any results you can share from the South America ping test? A : Thank you for sharing your test results. We haven't decided anything yet, but we will let you know when we do.   Q : Will you be adding new monster cards or monster gems?     A : Not yet. We want to focus on stabilization and balance first.   Q : What about new social functions like a marriage system, fishing, etc.?     A : Again, stabilization and balance will come first.   Q : What was your favorite update in TOS?     A : Personally, the update on March 14, 2017 was my favorite.   Q : What will happen to the Agny Necklace? Are you going to make other items like it?     A : You can read about it on our recent Combat System Changes dev blog post.   Q : Will there be other ways for Swordsman classes to defend themselves against magic in PvP?     A : We're not aware of any plans yet. As a Swordsman class player myself, it does hurt to be hit with magic.   Q : How are you fighting against Hook64 and other unauthorized programs?     A : We keep taking new measures against it, but the details don't appear in the patch notes.   Q : Any chances you'll improve the Sadhu class?     A : There are no plans yet for specific classes, but it could be possible after the general balance update.   Q : Will you be using Steam wallpapers and badges?     A : That's something we have been wondering for some time now, but so far it's not one of the top priorities.   Q : Will you release the Chronomancer Master hair and other NPC hairs and costumes?     A : Those are good ideas, we're always open to suggestions for hairstyles and costumes.   Q : What are you doing about AFK and macro users?     A : We're reviewing a few measures and will relay your ideas as well.   Q : Why can't we exchange items we get from the Exchange shop for medals?     A : There are some improvements on the way. Please check our Future Improvements dev blog posts.   Q : What about a search function for the Exchange Shop?     A : That's a good idea. We still want to improve the Exchange Shop UI.   Q : Can you make skill effects flashier? Some skills don't look that powerful.     A : Not yet. We want to focus on stabilization and balance first.   Q : We need better functionality in guilds. There isn't much to do as it is.     A : There should be some guild improvement plans coming soon, maybe. Please wait a while.   Q : Will there be other ways to obtain hairstyles other than buying them at the TP Shop?     A : We're not sure, but getting hairstyles through other ways sounds like a good idea.   Q : Please get rid of guild neutrality. It's less fun when guilds can be neutral.     A : We don't think guild neutrality will be removed from the game.   Q : I wish there was a button to enter instanced dungeons and missions like the one we have for TBL.     A : There are no plans to develop one yet, but we agree it would be practical.   Q : Why do potions have a cooldown time? TOS is not even a MOBA.     A : I personally think it's maybe to prevent balancing issues and such since there are some examples of other famous MMORPGs also having cooldown periods for potions.  Q : Mouse mode is a little inconvenient. It's better than before, but some actions can still improve.     A : We apologize for the inconveniences of mouse mode, that's something that is being worked on. Please let us know exactly what aspects of mouse mode are inconvenient so we can work further to improve on it.   Q : Why don't you do events for returning users?     A : We want to make events specifically for returning users too, but unfortunately it's been impossible because of certain technical issues.   Q : I wish you could introduce more food buffs like the dumplings.     A : We'll take note of that, keep sending any ideas you have about items and other aspects of the game.   Q : I wish I could make my companion big forever like it was during the trickster event.     A : We noticed a good reaction from the players during that event, so we may consider ways to make it happen.   Q : Will you give us another Rank Reset Voucher when Rank 9 comes out?     A : Any updates about Rank 9 should be announced through the website when they're ready, but we're still considering what to do about the Rank Reset Voucher item.   Q : When will we get new companions and costumes?  A : We're always considering new ideas for new companions and costumes, and want to keep releasing more. We take suggestions from the players too, so feel free to keep them coming.   Q : I wish there were more food accessories like the sushi series, for example curry.     A : Curry sounds like a good idea for a hair accessory, too.   p.s During the GM-Meet Up, there was disconnection problem on Fedimian Server. We apologize to those users and we will also provide rewards to all users who have participated. "

World Map Reorganization

Greetings, Saviors. This is Tree of Savior Developer Team.  We would like to introduce the upcoming new World Map! The major changes in the world map are introduced in the video, and more features will be introduced below!     World Map Guide after the Renewal         1. Bookmark   Register the area of choice in the Bookmark and look them up easily from the Category. You can register up to 5 maps in the Bookmark. Include your most-visited maps in the Bookmark.   Bookmark can be used by searching in the category of the World Map as well as in the warp map. If token benefits are applied, you can easily move around the areas you wish by connecting your free warp with the bookmarks.       2. Changes in Functions Connected to the World Map   The World Maps (Shortcut: N) and the functions connected to the World Map before will be changed. The functions are as follows and the renewed world map is available when used.       3. Check Guild Territory Information   You can check the guild territory areas, occupying guild, and the tax rate of the area set by the occupying guild from the world map.   Prepare for battle and collect information before the Guild Territory War. The location of the guild tower of your guild can be checked from the category as well.        4. Check Spawn Location of Field Boss When Field Boss spawns, prepare for battle by checking the location and the name of the field boss from the World Map.   The information of the Field Boss appears 10 minutes before the spawn of the monster and disappears along with the corresponding field boss.        5. Token Travel You can move to any location you wish at once if you have the token effect applied. When you move by using Token Travel, you will automatically move to the starting location of the area without any cost. (※ Starting location is equal to the location moved when using ‘Warpstone’) By using Token Travel, you can also move to an un-encountered location which makes it possible to move to the destination with speed when proceeding quests or contents. Use the Token Travel from the minimap in the world map.       6. Changes in Cost of Warping from Goddess Statue  Travel costs of Goddess Statue set in proportion to the existing distance will be changed to (map level x 10 silver). Areas with low level will be available at low cost regardless of the distance.   Silver is not consumed when moving to cities, and if token benefits are in effect, the cost of traveling by the Statue of Goddess will be exempted.   As the World Map is reorganized, an additional section about what the World Map consists of and how to use them will be added in the Help. This can be found from the [Help] in the System Menu and [Help] on the top of the World Map after the World Map reorganization update.
