most common class will prob be those following a Swordsman build.
swordsman seem to be pretty tanky and strong so they're going to be a major point in parties
also Cleric since Heals will be also important.

That's good. I have bad memories pvping against Knights in RO.
Never liked playing one as much as priest or rogue or... Any other choice xD

crusaders, assasins, rogues and monks were the most annoying in woe

Incorrect actually, the CBT was at a 300% rate. They made new zones to compensate but expect it to be a bit slower.

Also it was reported that mobs will rarely drop exp cards as well.

They did say the rates were going to be the same as KR, so he was correct in that.
but even so, there are still people getting into the lvl 200 range within 2 weeks of play time i believe on KR version so it's still pretty decent. (though they're players that know the best practices in achieving it, while nolifing prob)
though KR did also have quite a few EXP events so maybe that is partly the reason for the quick speed, not sure.



The addition of Orsha's starting zone and questlines in combo with Klaipeda's make things easier, plus you mentioned mobs dropping EXP cards even if rare also you can get them from completing achievements now too. (so lots of exp to get in the beginning)
though i hear after lvl 200 is when things start to get harder and more grindy.
prob because you're nearing the lvl 280 level cap.

I'm hearing that you can no longer trade? Can only have 1 character? Is this correct, I played first and second beta tests, level 75+ in first and level 200 in second. Dunno what they changed if anyone can fill me in

Believe trading is limited.
i think you can trade if you are a premium user (token user) to a certain degree. (think that's how it works in kTOS)

forget how many characters you can make but it depends how big your barracks is, which you can upgrade to hold more (companions take up a slot as well i believe)

Think I just read that you only put items up for auction. No more player to player trading. Also auctioning requires tokens and it scales with the amount of hours you would like to auction. I really hope they revert that cause it sounds absolutely terrible.

Do you know if you can trade these tokens somehow in game? Can I buy them from other players with silver or will I have to do some shady deals and pay silver and have them paypal me cash or some shit.

Auction house uses TP, which is the Cash Shop currency. (untradeable obviously like all cash shop currency's)
Though you also have a small bank of "FREE TP" that regens over time to a limit of 5 (think it regens at a rate of 1 per 4 hours)

you can list items for 3, 24, 72, 120 hours i believe, and the prices are 2, 4, 6, 8 TP
so as a free user you can list items for a max of 24hours in combination to the max amount of market listings for a free user which i believe was like 2-3 or something.

there's a possibility these might differ on release or change with time when they get enough negative feedback.
but i think it's a decent way to combat the negative effects of goldsellers, RMT and even bots that are a part of these practices.


it hurts a bit when you can't trade but you get used to it and realize it's no different than a standard RPG.
where you fight for your gear, buy it from a shop, craft it or even get it from a quest.

this of course pretty much means that ToS won't really be a game that will utilize JSP's community trading.
outside maybe powerleveling or something.

To make things clear.

Auction house do not uses TP, instead they decided to limit what you can post there (1 at a time for free user, 5 for premium user), they did intend to make it purely TP based back then but decided not to. Theres a 30% tax for free user and 10% for premium.
Face to face trade is a thing, but only for premium users, but (i think) you have a limit of face to face trade you can do per month.
Also there is <<sell shop>> just like in RO, so theres always that to sell your stuff past the AH limits. There is no Buy shop like there was in CBT tho.

I MIGHT be wrong on some point, but at least scrolling through ToS forum, post, reddit etc, this is how it should be, guess we will know on release.

And also, can this game come out already? I cant stand the hype anymore, i just wanna play lol
