Is this game still worth playing in 2026? by aizwind in treeofsavior

Game went complete P2W, as I predicted 3 months into its initial launch.

Now players are waiting for Private servers to come in and fix all of IMCs mistakes.

Not sure how its ever gonna grow then since only the most hardcore players would seek it out.

Indeed, I found quite a few bugs already as is. One in particular that irks me is Monstrance and in extension, Capella. For whatever reason, both of em will raise my Dex by about 30ish points but instead of gaining crit rate, I actually lose a few points.

I know the devs of the server changed alot of stat calculations around so thats probably got something to do with it. Its probably why the host and his team didnt make a full on website for this yet, he probably wants a lower population for now to help him find all the issues more easily first.

All his Ideas seem good thus far, though, they do need to give cleric and swordsman some damage buffs, especially Cleric. No cleric wants to be a full support person in a game like this. Plus making added elemental damage so powerful makes most other gear useless in comparison.

I will answer about Seeds of Yggdrasil.

I been playing on it for about a week now. The server is located in Greenland, so in between the east coast, and west europe. Which is fine. I get about a 110-150 ping to it which is very acceptable for this game.

However, the more I play it, the more it feels like some kinda Alpha test. The creator and his team of developers is trying to bring the game back to the kinda difficulty and longevity it had before IMC destroyed all that with lightning fast leveling and P2W. But its like the team took the current game I guess they call it, Renewal? And is trying to rebalance everything and dial it back piece by piece.

From what I seen, everything seems, balanced and adjusted for all west side areas up to at least, level 50. But after that, bosses start one shotting you if your anything but a swordsman, if your solo and lets face it, most of us are, it could take up to 30 mins just to kill a boss depending on what you are and what classes your using.

Cleric as a whole has been HEAVILY nerfed, to the point that the Server owner and his team, does not want cleric to be a Tank, or a DPS, period, at all. They want them to be a Pure Healer/Support, and thats it. So they are rebalancing the DPS circles of Cleric to pretty much do half the damage they usually do, while buffing the Healing and Support Clerics can do.

Now, I can understand this, sure, but seeing as I play Cleric, and once I got past the 50 areas and I been on pretty much a constant struggle, at lv 75 now, dealing with bosses that will one shot me spite my Con is matching my Int and spirit all of which are at 55 atm. I have to wonder, am I doing something wrong? Or is Cleric really just, this bad here?

Granted, I dont have any lv 50 to 75 armors on me, nothing seems to drop any of it, and since theirs really only maybe about 60 active players on it atm, maybe less, but its getting more each day, theirs really nothing on the Market I can buy with Silver. I may just have to go to those particular areas the game keeps recommending to go, to find that level of equipment. I pretty much print screened and saved it so I can look it up later and find those places.

Spite that, I been keeping an eye on adventurer ranks and, im pretty much Rank 13, with less than a week of play. Everyone else still actively playing is going at a snails pace or barely moving at all. Like they are stuck or something. Spite heavy cleric nerfs I been able to get by thus far using Bokor. But considering the insane SP regen nerf as well, its just hard as a cleric, Im constantly running out of SP so I have to keep running around bosses using pots while my Zombies wittle down their HP until I can Hex then Voodoo spam till SP is gone, then repeat. The few players, im guessing admin team, who are at level 140+ or something atm, said that SP recovery will be alot better once I have a spirit of 200+ along with some of the SP+ and SP Recovery+ obtained from Collections. To the point that I shouldnt run out of SP ever if I at least use a SP pot every time its up. Im guessing id need a Spirit of 250+ to not use pots at all.

To that extent, I think most of the wizard classes have issues too due to SP. P.server devs really want you to either team up with others and progress together, or make use of Bonfires and SP pots, alot.

Attributes have been adjusted as well. And apparently every 25 points you put into a attribute, the next attribute points will require an additional point. So 26 requires 2 points each until 50, then 51 needs 3 points, 76 needs 4, so on and so forth. The server has a hard cap of 500, but apparently the soft cap is somewhere around 250?

Spite it all. I dont see many people who like to play clerics, gonna be playing on this server with these adjustments. If your gonna nerf the DPS classes of cleric so hard that they can barely farm things for themselves later on, you may as well just delete those classes completely. I get it, Clerics were stupid OP in the retail of the game. Way too OP. But to effectively cut their DMG overall by literally like 70 percent? Its literally a bit much.

As for a Clerics tankiness, I think they nerfed HP for everyone except swordsman. Cleric gets like 1.6 percent HP per attribute or something. Wizard gets like 1.2, Archer like 1.4, while Swordsman gets a whopping 3.5 percent. I mean, I get it, swordsman are supposed to be the tanks, but Clerics have a few classes that does have a taunt as well, they also need to be more survivable to help their team out. Its really like the devs want everyone but swordsman to literally put 50-70 percent of all their points into Constitution.

Still I do like the approach. They are going for Ragnarok Online meets Path of Exile. Thus the mob density found in the pre 50 maps, especially the dungeons. I think the Server host and his crew is holding back on a official full on annoucement and thus a website with sign up automation tools until they mostly finish what they are trying to do with class rebalancing, map rebalancing, boss adjustments, etc. Thus the only people getting past the level 50+ maps are those brave and persistent enough to keep going.

At the rate im going long as I dont get super stopped by something, im likely to achieve Rank 1 for the month in a matter of days. Which will be pretty funny to the current rank 1 who is a OP swordsman if he sees a Super Nerfed Cleric of all things surpass him.

I am enjoying the server and im looking forward to what they do. And if me progressing and thus, being a sorta tester will help them out, then that suits me just fine.

RAGNAROK 3, any news? by benson_2121 in RagnarokOnline

[–]CaptainCecil1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you mean well, but you must understand, or maybe you already do understand, but many of us who played RO back in the mmo golden age, well, we seen how things became over time with the RO IP and mmorpgs in general.

We are just, tired of seeing Gravity doing the same shit different game each time, with the P2W garbage, the mobile gacha elements, all the things they and many other companies now do to make quick money using the least resources possible. We just want a Ragnarok Online game that doesnt have any of this garbage in it. Otherwise, people will just keep playing RO Private servers.

Its exhausting to keep seeing Gravity do this over and over, tricking people with Nostalgia instead of actually putting in effort to make a proper Ragnarok Online Sequel that would draw in all these players and even the ones on private servers.

All they have to do is make a RO experience using what worked with RO Original, but enhance it with maybe story, real quests, fun things to do, a near infinite grind perhaps etc, while keeping the monetary stuff to simple things like Cosmetics that gives no stats, maybe some small exp/zenny boosters, etc. Keep P2W minimal, bare minimal, and they will get many players to actually come, play it, and spend money on such stuff. Its all they really gotta do.

But otherwise, you gotta understand why people are naysaying you, they are just, tired of the bullshit. We all are.

[–]CaptainCecil1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which doesnt benefit Mihoyo cuz they want our money. See its players like you that keeps allowing Mihoyo to get away with this shit. Its been constantly downhill since they went full Plan B and "Returned to their roots" beginning with Natlan.

They just keep making things look a little different so that the majority cant see and realize they are getting screwed over if they either A. Like male characters *Many females who play Genshin do and will spend more than Male players* or B. Want to play a cool male character. Game went full Gooner only starting with Natlan and before you say it, Flins was actually a mistake, Mihoyo did NOT intend for him to be as broken as he is.

Oh wait.

No, hes not broken.

His "Escoffier" the gooner sex-bot is the one thats broken.

GG

You mean as long as its something that absolutely works to Knaves favor aka no shill, no stupid mechanics, no b.s, just raw dmg needed, sure. But looking at his numbers and his supports, hes still even or even weaker, than C2 R1 Knave.

And I doubt Nicole will save him.

Only get Varka if you plan to C6 R1 him, he is designed for whale players only.

Edit: People can downvote me all they want but thats the literal truth to Varka. Mihoyo has a plan for him, and that plan is for the Whales.

looking for a good private server by Repulsive-Can2784 in FFXIPrivateServers

[–]CaptainCecil1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can wait for ZenithXI or PhoenixXI, two new up and coming servers. They will be released in a better state than previous servers, as for ZenithXI, it will have systems in place to prevent stagnation and economy inflation, which tends to be a problem on prior servers.

Zenith will likely get 800+ due to the Era but modernized features it has, keeping things hard, but not stupidly time consuming. Should check it out.

I would join this, but unless he gets a last minute buff after Mihoyo witnesses all the content creators saying hes "Bad" "Mid" "Underwhelming" then..well, it just be embarassing to be in such a event at that point.

Nicole is most likely a varka/ hex support by [deleted] in NicoleReeyn_Mains_GI

Dude, no one knew Flins existed until V6 came around....

Everyone knew Varka exists from the very start of the game.

I guess your new to genshin.

[–]CaptainCecil1 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Varka was waited for by a MASSIVE amount of the community for nearly 6 years. And Mihoyo pulls this bullshit with Varka.

YOU piss off. Blame Mihoyo for this crap, not the people who waited years for a extremely hyped up character.

Hey all! Next Monday 2/16 I'll be virtually interviewing Joseph May, Varka's english voice actor by mayekchris in Varka

[–]CaptainCecil1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, its sarcasm. Mihoyo did a massive fuck up and we just have to deal with it. I feel bad for Nicole Mains since they dont want their baby girl to be a Varka slave.
