Hello. We are "Tree of Savior" development team.
We have received so many questions from the fans from all around the world.
So to give you better answers for your questions, we invited Director syKim.
Q) First of all, why is the game called “Tree of Savior” and what is the story of the game?
A) The story starts with a huge tree. After this tree had appeared on the Earth, the Goddesses who had been protecting the humans suddenly disappeared from the Earth. Under the attacks from the monsters, humans struggle to live on day by day. After some time, the warriors who were selected by the Goddess Laima, who controls destiny, save the Goddesses and they start to reveal the hidden stories about the tree and the monsters.
Q) How many characters can I create per account? I mean how many character slots are available?
A) It depends on the size of barrack. The first barrack that is given to players when they start the game will have four character slots. However, as you move into bigger barracks, you will be able to create more characters and you will also be able to decorate your barrack.
Q) Is server wide chatting available? We received a request from a fan that this feature should be in the game.
A) Yes. There is server wide chatting available in the game and you can do it using a mic. All the messages that are sent to the server will be displayed on the upper side of the screen and they can be scrolled down as in Granado Espada.
Q) When we engage in trades, do we have to set up individual stalls or is there a market where players can register their items?
A) Instead of using individual stalls, we are planning to have a market where all the players can register their items. However interpersonal trades are also possible. If we add a feature which allows individual stalls in the game, it will be focused more on purchase requests rather than selling the items. There is also a feature in the game which GM can submit items to be listed on auction at the fixed times and it will have all the same features that are available in the real auctions.
Q) Is there a level cap? If there is, which level will be the level cap?
A) We are expecting level 100 will be the level cap for the CBT version of the game. We are talking about the basic level of the characters and there are different levels for each class.
Q) I heard there are 80 types of classes. Can we choose among 80 classes from the start of the game?
A) No. There are four classes to choose from at the start of the game. After that, with each character’s advancement as you play the game, there will be total of 80 classes in the game. We will have 80 classes for the official launch version of the game and the numbers can increase after that.
Q) Instead of advancing your character class, I heard you can also train your existing class. What are the benefits for doing so?
A) When you train your existing class of the character, you can level up the existing skills and you can also learn new skills and attributes for the class. For example, a player who started the game with Wizard may decide not to advance to Creomancer and instead level up the Wizard to 2nd layer of circle. The skills of the Wizard will be stronger after that.
Q) Are there any specific jobs for crafting the items or to collect the items in the game? I like crafting stuffs more than hunting.
All classes will be able to collect the items in the game.
Q) How hard are the bosses? Do we need to control the game like action genre games?
A) It depends on each player’s controllability, but we think that it will not be hard if you understand the patterns of the bosses’ movements. The bosses that will appear on the raids and the fields may be little more difficult.
Q) We don’t use mouse to play the game? Only keyboard?
What happens when I click on the monsters or the ground?
A) When you move or control your character, only keyboard is used, but when you click on UIs, you can use mouse. We had a version of the game which you can move your character using mouse, but it was rather hard to play the game using mouse so we gave up on using mouse. Nothing happens even if you click on the ground.
Okay. So that’s it for Questions and Answers for TOS #2 and we will answer more of your questions in the future. Thank you so much.
