What does everyone think so far?

Exathi · June 2017

Papya did a great job with launching the game I haven't lagged or disconnected. Though it's kinda weird without ladeck.

Aegelweard · June 2017

Okay, here are my thoughts after playing for a couple of hours.

Pros:
a) Very good and stable connection. I have not experienced any lags, delays and spikes.
b) Lots and lots of events. Free level 200 for your alt is something.
c) Server is full of people and feels really alive. Not like OGP with 70 people online of which 40 were merchants and/or AFK.

Cons:
1) Many fashion sets are absent in FS. Namely Rogue master and Milky way sets, which saddens me the most.
2) Current pet choice is very limited. Expansion required unless they will be rotating.
3) Fashion shop is really expensive. Local prices are noticeably higher than OGP.

Side notes:
I. Had to change my password because the game (unlike the forum) does not support special characters.
II. Legacy rewards I received do not correspond to the level of my old OGP character.

It might have to do with the nature of the server, or perhaps it's because I'm a Cali player, but I did disconnect once last night. I was able to get back on, though. The game somewhat lags, but I'm chalking that off to all the channels having been populated to the highest I've seen in years. Last time I saw all the channels as Normal density was when Infinity was released. Yes, I agree with @Aegelweard, the prices are quite high and the shop has a LOT less pets. About the legacy rewards, they're trying to fix it, there's a thread about it on the Announcements forum, you might want to check that out.

GloomySunday · June 2017

I can't even get on and create a character let alone play,so I have no idea how the new game is whatsoever.

JimboyCJ455 · June 2017

@GloomySunday Have you send a help desk ticket?

GloomySunday · June 2017

How do I do that ?

Umbrello · June 2017

I'm happy because the 900 LTP from the rewards got me the things I needed to look like I'm supposed to. And is it me or are the maps a little different? I like it better than the changes that were made in Season 2 OGP (unless I didn't notice changes made in Season 3?) The translation on the story seems better too.

Darumy · June 2017

i'm having fun & that's all that matters is what I'd say if they hadnt decided to cut out a ton of fashion from the fs for whatever reason

KWolfe · June 2017

I'm definitely enjoying myself. Its nice not to be playing on a dead game again.

Drakwindee · June 2017

I had a mega-fun day. I actually cracked up laughing at how some areas became congested, such as Ant Cave and the Godforsaken Mermaid Room, which were packed with 6 or 7 people trying to get a slice of the terrible mob spawns. Unfortunately I did only find out that the 'Quest Reward+100%' thing was even a thing at Level 102: oops.

Best of all, I ran into a great old friend of mine and we had some great banter and questing. I'll be right back on for some more tomorrow.

In terms of server quality I did get frequent, pretty bad lagspikes. However it's difficult for me to say for sure that that was on Papaya's end as the British weather was (and this is saying something) some of the most atrocious I've seen this year, heavy and unrelenting downpour the entire morning, day and night. Overall they held water pretty well although some people have been getting some errors and glitches for sure.

Edit - @Umbrello: You must not have noticed them from Season 3 I'm afraid. :) The questing maps almost all got greatly simplified (and some areas like Whitechapel were actually re-designed in terms of the actual combat layout) with Infinity. And yes, although the translation can still demand you be a bit interpretive at times (especially if you look at the quest logs but tbf who the Hell reads those), it was again S3 which made the translations much more legible.

@GloomySunday

Find 'Support' button on the upper bar. It will take you to support page. In the right top corner there is 'Submit a request' written in fine print.

taoscribble · June 2017

I'm getting a lot of inventory expansions via quests. I don't remember getting those before, and for a hoarder like me, I'm thrilled at that part.

The points they gave me was enough to expand my bank a bit, too (I'm used to only having four slots in there), as well as get my eyes back (which I'd had for so long I didn't realize they were a Cash Shop feature). Overall, I'm pleased.

Just two nitpicks, though:
I miss my Brownie. : /

The Heavy Attack for Templars isn't an attack, and it's throwing me off something fierce. It's a shield bash-like attack as a Knight and as a Savior; why is the Templar so weird?! I've never tried so hard to get to the next class upgrade in my life! Bleh!

Wait...It won't still be the same stupid 'guard' when I become a Holy Order, will it? If so, then...bleh!

PoFolks · June 2017

@tacoscribble yes 1H has shield guard while club has a shield bash attack. I like the guard tho used to be the only survivor in ifrit back when classes where squishy lol

taoscribble · June 2017

@PoFolks Huh. It's weird that club has the guard during the Templar phase, then switches back to the bash as a Holy Order. Oh well.

Rhonder · June 2017

So far so good! I haven't really played consistently since 2013 or so, so a lot of the new optimizations are kind of crazy/overwhelming lol. I've played about a week per year the last 4 but mostly on new chars/just enough to get 4th job on my Minstrel xD Like S2 updated how fast you could quest/level up a LOT from S1, but S3 is like a whole new level. Simply couldn't believe there were people hitting 190/200 in a single day when my highest character ever that I started in '09 was only 182 xD Given that I had such a noob low level char before though, I didn't really do any endgame stuff at all in LT (because I simply wasn't there ever, haven't ever even run Degos or anything (I remember that was a big new boss like a LOOOOOONG time ago), so I'm looking very forward to trying some of that out :D

Moonternity · June 2017

Honestly? I think there's a lot Papaya should improve on. I'm not terribly upset, given their inexperience with the game, but things have got to change.

1. Cash Shop

We should have had a full cash shop from the very beginning. A lot of fashion is missing, there's barely any pets, and most of our items come from lolboxes.

2. Runes

This is the first example of why blind adherence to kLT's system is not necessarily a good thing - the Moon Runeglyphs suck. There's no other way to put it. They're absolutely awful, and not at all worth the price tag.

3. IDR?

Another example of why kLT's system is bad for a fresh new server. We basically don't have any IDR, while kLT has had years to build theirs up. There seriously should be 500% IDR Potions.

4. why in god's green earth is Sky Coli armor back up to 3m per upgrade attempt

5. There's very little in the way of enchant boosters, and there's basically no craft rate boosters.

6. 10th Anniv. events would certainly be nice, as would some +15 Mutation coupons that aren't limited to a singular event a month down the line

7. 500% Exp Potions should seriously not be behind the cash wall of the Seres boxes. Core progression should not be behind a cash wall. Period.

I sincerely hope Papaya's in a position to reevaluate their entrance strategy to stick "as close to kLT as possible," because it just doesn't work when 1. we only have a fraction of what they have right now anyway, and 2. we're all starting over from scratch. It's a serious motivation killer, honestly.

The launch events are pretty nice, though, for what it's worth.

BigAsh · June 2017

My main issue? My top is absent T.T

trixx23 · June 2017

I think it's a very rough start. It's fun because I get to play with old friends, meet new people and the game is a hell of a lot more active. but that has little to do with papaya,

I think currently the game is rough, it's so rough that it's going to take players even longer to progres. Some classe are unplayable under the current context imo

Events are okay but prizes mainly involve top "whatever" of a particular category. I mean the level 200 pot is cool though.. But yeah between no idr, pets, runes and the fact that prices are higher idk man.. Also no dark skin.

I think the economy eventually will mimic ogp eventually.

merelypringles · June 2017

It would still be premature for us to comment on many aspects of the game (i.e. population size/economy).

With that said, the absence of any form of lag is always something to be grateful for.

I'm not a fan of them withholding EXP/IDR primes though. The actual game begins at 220, so prolonging the prerequisite 1-220 is completely pointless. I am also not certain that making IDR a luxury is wise, given our server population.

But eh, the dark skin gaffe is hilarious lmao.

taoscribble · June 2017

@BigAsh Forget the shirt; what's up with that hat? Is it incorporeal, or is there a hole to allow for the ponytail? XD

ultimapi · June 2017

It sounds like "same s***, different host" to me.

Where are the genuinely new people?

xUnity · June 2017

Can Papaya ask Actoz to bring back PI runes and artifacts we had at OGP? It would be so lovely.

Oh and the fashion! I was so sad when I looked through the fashion sets and didn't find my favorite :((

Many pets are missing too! How can they say "we are closely following KLT" if nearly a half of the pets is simply not there!

Fashion Shop prices are also way too high. These "sales" must be the basic price you then put discount on. It's good I was given some free LTC as a part of Legacy reward but when these are gone I'll have to dig deep into my wallet.

So many things must be fixed. I just hope Eris is reading our posts and takes them seriously.

cornhub35 · July 2017

Everything seems fine so far, my biggest beef is that dark olive skin isn't an option in character creation.

yokare · July 2017

i'm having a fun time, definitely a lot nicer than OGP ended up. LaTale is so social it's sad when the game is kinda dead :(

my peeves are mainly the Fashion Shop things, and the dark skin stuff. leave the suntan coupons for the odd/nonhuman skin colours/patterns, not a skintone that people actually have!

but yeah. more fashion please, i mostly buy LTC for fashion so itd be great to have the shop filled again <3

Claves · July 2017

Hmmm lets see:

Pros:

my ping is gucci still
semi decent legacy rewards for my nolife self

cons:

i have to pay to be black............................................................................ o k
Primes are behind a payment wall. Note: with an leveling event so you have to cash or go home due to low supply of primes
game is lacking alot of stuff FS wise-

and to mention why is everyone saying poopaya is expensive, the prices are the same with SMALL MARGINAL decreases and increases, so i.e: they're on par with OGP

please no more qq'ing give the server time @-@

roweho · July 2017

I miss LaDeck a lot. It is where I blew my money - they need a loot wheel online if no ladeck (lots of games have loot wheels) .

I miss the old crafting and mining - but they may have been gone a while.

Other than that enjoying myself 8-)

GloomySunday · July 2017

I'm doing pretty good in game,but only one person has actually spoken to me.

Futanari · July 2017

Good Connection , but same game though with same hardcore people with same merchanters with same grinding same farming same same same.

UrsaSan · July 2017

The connection is pretty outstanding compared to my experience with OGP. There are very few lag spikes (mostly dealing with skills but after they're used everything is smooth). There are some bugs but those are to be expected with launch.

Smooth so far though

What does everyone think so far?
