There's a post on the official forums that says they're just doing testing with the steam servers or something

Okay, here's what I've got for the new OP: http://pastebin.com/uwwUCAXN
If anyone has anything to add, like a tip or webm, feel free to post it.

Any ideas for thread titles? The best idea I've come up with so far is "Tree of Savior OBT: Save the Rainforest, Fight LumBRjacks", but I'm not really in love with it.

I skipped out on closed beta for this but as a hopeless addict of Ragnarok I am very intent on spending a lot of time in this game as soon as it is out.

I wonder if we're talking character wipes or not during Open Beta. Seems to vary based on the game. Soon as I hear 'no more wipes' I'll probably be there Cartar Stroke things to death.

Well korean open beta didn't wipe into release, but I'd say it is safe to assume they'd keep the option open just in case something crazy were to happen.

So we beat on, subs against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
So I keep hearing this game is on steam, but I can't find it. Have I been duped? If so, how completely?

It's not on Steam yet. The devs are trying to Green Light it in time for the open beta launch which hasn't started yet.

The game was greenlit ages ago, the first two betas were on steam. It just isn't a public game so there isn't any listing for it. The entry for the beta was actually removed from peoples libraries around the time open beta was announced, it'll probably pop back up soon

Don't have time to check the forums right now, but lol. I've already enjoyed the like 200~ hours I've played so I'm in. Anyone else?

At least you get the full value of your purchase in currency...

Eh, $50 is a little too steep for me I think. I'll look forward to F2P, but the whole April -> June timeframe is just completely saturated with releases as it is.

I'll let the suckers get through the issues and figure out if the game is actually good or not. People are a lot more honest when they have to pay money for something, so nothing up until this point has been worth paying attention to. The game will be in a better state by June and those of us who are smart won't have to pay anything for the privilege. Win/Win every single time to just wait it out.

The only thing on IMC's end that worries me is the 4 hours per 1 TP timer, because in the Korean version the timer is 2 hours. It's not really a big deal though cause I'm sure you can get more than enough warp scrolls and res stones anyway. On the player's side, this will almost definitely hurt population, and that sucks.

Did they change the exp rates or anything? Or does it still take 5 days of nonstop grinding to get through prison.

Its basically B2P for the first 3 months if anything, its not like a super limited headstart pre-order thing.

But the $50 pricepoint is quite steep, it'll hard getting people to rope their buddies into the game like that. 30/20/10 would probably get more impulse nuys and stuff.

Their $50 reward is super lackluster for that kinda money

The way I understand it is getting to 200 should be pretty smooth, you get crazy bonuses from using the dungeon finder thing, but after that it can get pretty grindy

Yeah I'm not at all interested in either paying $50 for a probably bug-filled sparsely populated beta or being three months behind everyone.

Oh well, cbt was kinda fun.

I was somewhere around the middle of page 86 in the Cognitive Dissonance thread when the drugs began to take hold.

only only only only only only
$50 for headstart is pretty steep and 3 months is an insanely long period for a headstart, though it does come with the pay currency for the game too so if you were planning on being a Real Subscriber of the game anyways it's just asking for 3 months upfront.

The upside to this is that if you read the official forums or reddit you can find a lot of people being enraged at the concept of a video game costing money. Not that $50 is too much for the game, or that the headstart system is going to hurt the player base, but that the devs have the audacity to charge money at all. They've also been pretty pissed at the idea of the premium subscription since that was revealed and I think you can even buy that with ingame currency. People getting real upset about free to play is amusing to me for some reason.

I could imagine myself putting $50 into this game, if I got to experience OBT and liked it and then made that decision. CBT wasn't exactly a great selling point, what with the horrendous lag and no trading. Either they're trying to sell a turd for a lot of money, or hopefully they've improved the game experience a lot but are asking players to pay a lot of money blind.

People complaining about it costing anything at all are a bit dumb, sure. I'd probably pay $20 for early access.

am I understanding it right, that people who do this will be on a server that only they can get on? So F2P people will be on a different server?

if that's true then they've really hosed up. if it's not true, im likely to drop 50 cause i had an amazing time during the beta. b2p for this makes way more sense than chinagame2.exe imo

so when the game goes f2p, all the new players are going to join the servers that aren't filled with max level poopsockers. unless imc opens only the minimum to contain all players on f2p launch, founder servers are gonna be wastelands lol
