It has been ten years since the closed beta test. Yes, that one, with the vocaroo exchanges here on /v/.After all that time waiting, private server tools have finally progressed to the point where the game is playable and we have the first actual private server that isn't reverse engineered from leaked executables.It's very rough still but, in the future, we'll be able to customize and play ToS the same way we can with other MMOs like Ragnarok Online.
>>736332036what version of the game is it based on?
>>736332446Making it 100% like the old system would require using the old client, which is not something anybody wants to do because the game was not optimized and ran at 5 FPS when more than 5 players were on screen.So it uses a mixture of old and new systems. You don't have class circles and only choose two classes, like in the modern version of ToS. But the max level is only 99, a lot of skills have their old effects, there's no exp quests and the main progression is grinding, and a lot of the mechanics are entirely custom because vanilla tos was poop in that regard as well.tl;dr it's as vanilla as the modern client allows + custom rebalance
>>736332446It has less classes per base branch than the closed beta test from 10 years ago but it does have the Scout base class.
The admin is going to have a meltdown over nothing and put a keylogger in it
>>736332036I played the korean beta with 4chinsit was a good time until it became slop and proved to run like shit
Is there a general somewhere with more information?
I remember trying to play this game on two different occasions and both times I would join a party for a dungeon and some guy would be rolling around on a giant snowball shitting out particle effects and damage numbers all over the screen while my dude was doing jack shit damage while constantly being out of mana.
>>736336003the dungeon instances were cool as heck early on but there werent enough of them to pad the path to higher levels
>>736332641>>736332720this sounds interesting enoughwhere do I keep an eye on this project?>>736335712>I played the korean beta with 4chinsmy nigga I was one of the few anons playing there
>>736335712There must have been like 150+ of us back then, enough to fill multiple guilds.>>736335817There is a tos general on /vm/ but it's been dead for years.>>736336003It's an action game so it can get like that when people play DPS wizards.>>736336167https://laimawiki.servegame.com/index.php/Main_Page
>>736332036grown men moment
Bees are fucking stupid gimmick not playing. Not playing your shit game faggot, hope your soul gets confined to its own separate cell
>>736336251>no jincan gu on wugushisadness
>>736336251it was just annoying that my character seemed so weak, and when I would ask how to get stronger I would get told to farm some timegated dungeon for drops to farm some other timegated dungeon which would eventually let me get a good weapon like 8 months later.
>>736336251>There must have been like 150+ of us back then, enough to fill multiple guilds.only a couple of us played the korean beta
>>736336251>https://laimawiki.servegame.com/index.php/Main_PageI don't see any registration or download links so I'm going to assume that this is still in development.
>>736332036As a dev for another dead MMO's private server, I wish you luck from the DDON recreation team. Best of luck, TOS people.
is it true that the soundtrack of this game is basically dark trance? do you hear trance during bossfights or all the time?
>>736336531Yeah that's just MMOs in a nutshell, it really leaned into instanced dungeon content even early on.>>736336545Oh that one. I though you meant the close international ones. I was on the kOBT too.>>736336656It's inside their discord.
>>736336771>It's inside their discord.hard pass then, im not against using discord but keeping shit in there is a trash practice
>>736336531Build mattered a lot in tos, there was a very long leveling grind and you couldn’t respec. They also ruined lots of builds all the time with new patches. Vgs guild was called future proof, because it got so annoying having to reroll. I liked the patch that had that little daily dungeon quest where you could see your damage meter, to size yourself up against the competition. Different classes were good at different things right. Although farming currency was mostly what I did in that game, it felt pretty comfy. I almost never saw anyone with my build or farming lol, I think everyone would either pay for p2w or just give up competing. Arena was very bad because of the p2w.
>>736336769https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqSOPhNzotAYeah, most of the dungeon music is trance. The OST is absolutely fire.
>>736336832i want more trance OST in vidya...
>>736336819I was playing during some jump start event so there were exp boosters and shit to get your level up fast. the people I was getting dpsmogged by though were same level characters though. I think the first time I was playing black rider and the second time was bullet marker.
>>736336771>It's inside their discord.hard pass then, im against using discord and keeping shit in there is a nigger practice
>>736332720So they just dropped the only cool idea the game had?
Is attack speed still reliant on your ping?. Hated how just because I had more than 100 ping my attack speed was just reduced in half.
>>736336997That was like after tos already died lol. I think it stopped being good when chronomancer got nerfed. You were definitely playing with people who traded over like huge valued items to alts.
>>736337232The modern client doesn't support the old circle system, you have to fully commit to the entirety of a class now.It's either this or use the old pre-ReBuild patch clients that will play at a constant 2~5 FPS.>>736337114>>736336806The project is open source so more pservers will pop up, no big deal if you miss this one.>>736336819>Vgs guild was called future proof, because it got so annoying having to rerollHard to believe it was a decade ago.>>736337310I believe that's no longer a thing.>>736336997See >>736337312You had to have played the beta test or steam early access. Once the game released it went to shit very fast.
>>736337414The game got better for awhile. Its original release was very bare bones and didn’t include most types of mmo content. There wasn’t really any group activities. Pvp was coded terribly plus very unbalanced but was still pretty fucking funny. Yeah I don’t know what you liked about the original release so much.
>>736332036the game is too flawed and ultimately dogshit. it can not be fixed.
>>736337624the number bloat killed it
You know remember the danmaku attacks that bosses had during closed/open beta tests that they then removed from the release version because it was broken as fuck.
>>736337624I liked that you needed to grind to progress, even if the bulk was still quest hubbing.And I liked the pvp, it was a griefer's wet dream.>>736337804A lot of the game was designed around korean internet speeds but didn't work when ping was higher than 20.
>>736337641Fixing the monster Ai will be the hardest part.
why play this when you can play gta 6 online?
>>736336819it was insane how bad the balance was at launchanything that multi-hit was so much better than anything that didn't and if you picked a bunch of circles without multi-hits you were pretty much fuckedalso fucking attack speed being ping reliant which ultimately led me to quit
>>736337850>A lot of the game was designed around korean internet speeds but didn't work when ping was higher than 20.like so many other korean games
>>736332720>Keeps Scout>Still keeps Linker on itLinker is the one thing i thought was cool when i first played and it never got any justice and then they threw it on Scout and to my knowledge nobody even uses it. Why can't they just throw it on the Cleric line.
>>736332036Those graphics are soo good. Looks like vanillaware games
chat is this real??
>>736340889linker on scout sounds pretty weird wasn't it originally a wizard class?sad to see no hakkapeliitta on the private serverI never got to play it as I quit far before it showed up but it also bummed me out when I heard that they changed the weapon slots around so it was something like guns becoming main hand only which kind of killed the whole sword+gun idea of the hackapell and at some point they reworked it to only be melee?
>>736341192Linker was originally on Wizard until Scout was added and then Linker was thrown in the Scout classes instead.
>>736341082hmmmm
>>736341715no not quite
>>736342535real
>>736342689no u
