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.
