2: How did the lags affect your game play?

A: Not being able to tell if you picked up items, or if you were able to talk to an NPC due to server stress was the most frustrating.

4: Did you use Real Time Translation to modify the texts in the game?

A: I tried to, but it seems that the key combination to activate it wasn’t working.

5: What do think about the current version of Tree of Savior which emphasizes on normal attacks?

A: I’m not too sure how to answer this question. When I played the Wizard tree I only used auto attacks when my skills were on cooldown, when I played the Swordsman tree I never used auto attacks. The balance for auto attacks vs skills on Wizard seem to be correct, you use them to give you additional DPS while you skills are on cooldown, whereas on Swordsman, for the most part, you never need to use auto attacks.

6: How would you rate the overall combat difficulty?

A: A lot of areas didn’t feel very challenging. In the various dungeons there was always action and it always felt like you were on the verge of being killed by a pack of dangerous monsters (assuming the single channel wasn’t full) but in fields it was as if nothing was going on. Luckily this is going to be fixed in the OBT where ★★★ field areas have aggressive mobs.

At the same time a lot of the classes need work. Pyromancer C1 is very balanced, but Psychokino C1 and Elementalist C1 are very unbalanced. Pretty much all of the offensive Swordsman tree needs to be looked at and adjusted. I didn’t play Archer but heard they weren’t too balanced. Going back and looking at the balance of each class in their specific level range needs to be done.

11: What do you think about mouse controls?

A: It’s really awkward to talk to NPCs with mouse controls, and some wouldn’t even talk to you at all. Other than that they were great.

12: How would you rate the Market System?

A: “There are too many results so we can’t show you the item(s) that you’re searching for” or something like that was an error I ran into a lot. Giving an option to search exact terms vs containing terms would be nice. It always took forever to search through all the various Spontoon items. Also making another button to scroll through each individual page or to scroll to the next set of pages would be nice. A lot of times I’d use the arrows to just go through the pages when there were a short list of pages, but when that list of pages hit 46+ the arrow then skipped to that 46th page instead of going to the next page. Having a button for single page scrolling and for mass page scrolling would benefit the market greatly. Other than those it was pleasant to use.

15: Have you enhanced a Gem that can be inserted on an item’s sockets? How were the enhanced Gems?

A: Because of the way the damage formulas work this doesn’t really seem viable in the endgame. Either Gems need to give more per level up, or they need to give stats based on the level of equipment they are attached to.

16: Have you used a Monster Gem that can be inserted on an item’s sockets? How were the Monster Gems?

A: I received a few Monster Gems, but none that were useful for the class tree that I had selected. I kinda wish these were tradeable because of that.

26: What did you like the most about Tree of Savior?

A: The music is amazing, the graphics are really well done, I love the concept of the class system, the quests were interesting in most cases, the combat is a little dry for some trees. Overall I really love the game and can’t choose just one.

I also pretty much agree with most of what Tor_Heyerdal said.
