The State of The Game

Hey there, this post will be mostly what's wrong with whatever you want to call the thing that was released yesterday night. To preface that though, I do enjoy LaTale, but what we have now is not LaTale.

Pros of the migration:
  • Slightly better translations in some spots
  • Communication with our GMs through discord
That's all I can think of and I'm not trying to be negative all the way through.

Cons (more than the pros)
  • Cash shop is priced higher than we were used to, and our fashion market is a lacking (primes only in expensive rngboxes sounds wonderful)

  • We are both not OGP and Not KLT at the same time. We are a watered down version of both games

  • Refer to that last point I just made, we are worse than OGP because we're a game that's trying to be KLT, yet we aren't getting a lot of the benefits of being KLT. 

  • Login/Dungeon reset times. Our server is located in Eastern US, but why are we working on European reset times? Why not locate the server in EU at that rate, or change the server times to Eastern US.

  • We get communication but nothing really happens, only fixes to problems instead of what's going to come. Seems like we are getting conned because our community is so small and desperate to play this game.
Where do we go from here?
Well, I know its early, so I want to give this team a chance and wait until these events are over, but all that would mean is they should make things we don't have more readily available ie: Primes + IDR which we were used to. I know we all put KLT up to a higher standard, but now that we have KLT, albeit a watered down version, is KLT what we want still? Can we be a little OGP? I miss IDR.

Also to the people who will defend Papaya from this post, explain to me how these flash sales and lolboxes aren't pay2win. It's Day 2 and they've shown us that money is the #1 motivation for them. 

We can't even get login events nowadays. At least OGP gave us those.

    Things i do agree with is the price of cosmetics: they are rediculous. 5$ USD to change your pixel eyes? Who decided this?

    As far as the communication goes: you literally are moving too fast to evaluate everything. The server literally hasn't even been up 48 hours yet. I'm sorry , but thats actually unreasonable.

    Part of the problem here is us, we haven't even given a chance for the game's market to settle and start growing but we're already hounding for more primes supply. I'm not neglecting the fact that all of us want to get back to where we were before OGP died. We blame papaya for money being their motivation. Well, I think we should take responsibility for our desire to rush to endgame just as much and realize its the fuel to that fire. We don't HAVE to rush back to where we were, we impose that on ourselves and a company sees that opportunity and says "well if you insist" then points at our wallet.

    You can't claim that we get communication when you haven't even given adequate time for turnaround ON said communication.  Also Eris has marked a thread regarding the Primes situation as being observed.

    Remember, the game's management isn't just between us and the publisher, there's 3 parties, publisher,developer and us involved. Sometimes the developer needs more data to come up with a solution they know will work. Odds are they're probably more strict than before even; because clearly being like OGP is something they DON'T want to do for obvious reasons. 

    Tl;dr: We're not in a position to argue for being more like OGP again after it crashed and burned. Hope for compromises that meet some sort of middleground, especially on IDR,

    @Cranzen why do u complain about time zone?

    the importent things resets at 00:00 PST anyway..

    and also most american servers are now going by CEST for reset, even maple does.

    2nd this version is far better then ogpal's and we have the same things as KLT.

    so far papaya has done a great job

    He's complaining because we weren't told that the game resets at 0:00 CEST, and he was used to the old 0:00 PST reset. Just because MOST games reset based on CEST, doesn't mean THIS game resets on CEST. As an american player, we have no reason to believe that the server resets based on European time. (Just trying to vocalize thoughts, not trying to argumentative.) Also, I've played Maple recent, but it still reset at midnight PST? (Not too sure about it, but I play on the NA server.)
    The truth about humanity is that no one can ever truly be alone. Don't be mean to others. You never know who they might be in the future, or how important they might become.

    Still waiting on patch notes regarding all these missing skills :^)

    Random bit of trivia, Papaya is actually advertising this game as a Global server now. Not as solely North American.

    This would explain the different time zone usage.
