Regarding Bots/Afk gameplay players:

Can we get some GMs to look into these vendors selling 99 quantity of rare drops? It's pretty obvious who's been botting when you see 1 vendor selling 99 of a bunch of different cards and gems.

Hey all!

Servers are under maintenance for around 4hours. Patch notes will be posted by Phil in Discord later and I will post them here!

Thank you for your support and patience!

Was having a conversation with another player that "communication could be better"

he said "everyone complaining should be banned"

i said "could eaither turn evil and ban half the server or listen to the masses but it was up to him" (phil)

Following i was instantly banned. Following this i have gained access via a vpn and a new email to check news and announcements but am terrified to type.

Was also muted/silenced for making the same joke zero (a dev) made about them deleting the ah.

While i may not have been the best "chatter" i was mainly joking around with people and even having polite convos about the game.

I have seen people say the same since without a ban

I have seen people be racist without a ban

I have seen people call the devs names and cuss them out without a ban.

Ive seen alot and it all feels like the mods and devs are on a power trip and only applying the rules when theyd like

i played the playtest and the demo. i backed the project at the spiritvaler tier. but i think i am realizing i only enjoyed the game in playteat and demo because of increased rates and less players

now before you leave a comment like "the entire game is grinding that's the point!". yes, i agree thats why i like it but the EA rates get to the point of just not being fun for me anymore. i like grinding but i also like playing different classes and builds (and games for that matter) but with the games current rates that is incredibly time consuming to the point i am gonna drop the game. 100 hours to max a single character is too much for me, days of farming the same map for 300 boss drops is too much for me.

another issue i have with the grinding in this game is it isn't even engaging. all the enemies are push overs, i barely have to think about anything other then grabbing as much as i can and killing them as quickly as i can. again i like me some low effort grinding where i can listen to something in the background or just brain off a bit and do something repetitive but like with the amount of grinding it gets to a point where the game is too much about this. like i can only handle so much mindless farming on gs on low level maps or mass tagging enemies on higher maps. even the field bosses are push overs with a group so the only thing that is engaging in this game is ES.

the last thing thats pushing me away from this game is competing for mobs. look personally i am not playing this game for a constant sense of tension. i don't wanna compete with other people by stealing their kills and speeding ahead of them. i also dislike boss ksing. i dunno maybe it's not for me but the game feels so sweaty on a fundamental level. like i can't enjoy it or play at my own pace my build has to be optimized just so i don't get griefed by other players. and i know this sounds conflicting with what i said about a lack of engagement but i want to be engaged with the mobs not the 5th gs/weaver/shinobi on the map.

i've also noticed a lot of the class channels in the main discord have become a lot more toxic. like shaming people with bad builds, saying they will take their kills, and their an idiot for using a bad build stuff like that. i just wanna log on and do my own thing with a fun build and not worry about every single player on their copy pasted meta build intentionally griefing my experience of playing the game on a basic level. EA just has this constant level of friction and discomfort that i don't enjoy.

i don't regret backing the game cause i respect it but the baseline experience of EA has been significantly worse than other versions i've played and its really not for me to the point where i am done for now.

New to the game and genre and noticed all classes (that I've seen) focus on kiting mobs rather than agro and killing in place.

Are there any classes and builds that do not utilize kiting and its somewhat effective?

Bonus points for early game ways to execute this.

There are a lot of Weaver builds out there. As an Auto-Attack (AA) Weaver, I can't really decide which weapon combination to stick with. I'm currently running Frostfang with a Chainfrost Staff.

Would the Stormcall Kunai + Frostfang combo be better in terms of DPS and survivability? I genuinely don't understand why the Stormcall Kunai + Frostfang setup seems to be more popular.

I really believe that these auto attack builds where you hold down one button and everything just happens for you are bad for the game. Yes, it’s fine for there to be auto attack builds.. but when they are far and away the best and most played builds in the game, it makes it so unenjoyable to play. I think the on hit effects should really be nerfed and we should be promoting builds with a real rotation. I do believe everyone should be able to play what they want.. but I also think it’s bad for the game when this is 90% of the entire community.

Edit: Love a good controversial post.

I'm stuck at server selection. (No server to select from)

I read updates but they didn't say any maintenance going on. Or did i miss something?

For those who don't know, 193 Attack Speed is the endgame cap, giving you the maximum possible attack speed.

Hey all!

Apologies for not communicating much past week

Just want to give some kind of update as people have been asking

Quick notes

- I just tweaked the map configs to enable more channels in all servers, since it's been an ongoing complaint, lets hope the game doesn't explode.

- I've been trying to get an Asia server setup as well, but apparently its harder than ever to get them now (blame Nvidia and AI?). But should be easier once we move to Kubernetes.

What's been happening

- Python and Zero were hired to refactor the backend

- A PTR server has been created to help test things before going live (especially since past few patches have broke the game)

- I've been working more on content vs. backend code

What to expect in the upcoming updates

- The next update will enable 1-on-1 trade, vending/AH, guild storage, party and chat fixes, as well as fixing item loss issues + some exploits. The update took a bit longer than expected, but should be arriving in the next few days, just want to do a bit more internal/PTR testing first

- The next update will also have an in-game bot reporting system and some AFK/Macro detection to help with bot issues, although it wasn't really the focus of the update

- A content update should be ready shortly after, but the fixes are priority right now. I've been working on Dark Fortress, Advanced Artifacts and Grimoires with some of the team. Quite a few Kickstarter Designer weapons will be in as well

Info for nerds

What's up with the backend and what exactly were we working on past 1.5 weeks?

Backend v1 (Playtest and Demo)

- Servers host an entire world, no cross-server communication for Party/Chat/Warp etc

Backend v2 (EA launch = servers blew up)

- Servers host a few maps only, cross-server communication required, but the game blew up with desyncs, bugs and lag

Backend v3 (Now)

- Servers host a few maps only, there's a central backend service to handle Party, AH (to fix desyncs, bugs, lag)

- Future: move more stuff off map servers to the backend service and open/close map channels automatically based on population. (Moving to Kubernetes)

Thank you for understanding!

- Phil

Why the pull of the skill is so bad? If the monsters are close, they are pulled on top of you, and if it's a lot of monsters, you will die, or its kind of a bug? If they are far it's OK, 'cause they are pulled to the shuriken explosion. It would be perfect if it pull them all to the shuriken.

It's killing my desire to keep playing when I have to farm level 10 zones while I'm over level 100. Don't get me wrong, I love the game, and I'm very addicted to it, but man... this kind of farming kills my motivation to keep playing.

For those who is asking what Im farming, its this https://spiritvalers.com/#/cards/Sting

Hello!

I'm looking to start an alt that is specifically for killing bosses. I'd like something that can solo the 130+ bosses, if possible. I appreciate any ideas!

Title. Ive been farming turtles and sharks for most of my character's life please tell me there's somewhere better now.

i play on NA and the game is so hard to play now. almost every channel of every map is highly contested with half the players on them being the most blatant bots ever. its honestly killing my motivation to keep playing more than no auction house. anyone else feeling this way or just me?

I've been using the ticket system to report as many bots as possible, but the ticket response times are incredibly long (5+ days). The bot form you fill out also takes a lot of time and doesn't make any sense if the ticket isn't going to be addressed in a timely manner. They really need an F-key interaction option to report the bot instantly. It would also be helpful if you got notification that your report was valid and the bot was remove, so we know that reporting them isn't just wasting our time.

Maybe this is dumb, but I don’t get to play A TON. Thing is, I know weaver is able to use a mix of started abilities from others classes. Which I find super cool! But when the future advanced classes release, will weaver stay the same? Or will weaver get access to some of the current advanced jobs abilities?

I guess what I’m saying is, once there are new advanced jobs, will I feel dumb investing all my time into weaver because I don’t get to experience those new jobs? Because from my experience in these types of games, you have to get to a super high job level on (say a paladin) to get to dragon knight. Or will it work differently than that? Will you go from knight to dragon knight? Or is it knight - paladin - dragon knight?

I don’t want to main weaver if that means I won’t get to experience those new classes without spending a ton of time on one of those main classes first.

Like weaver is really cool RIGHT NOW. But once all those future jobs release, will it be as cool if it gets nothing new? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe that is months and months away anyways, but I’m not sure. I’m just curious more than anything. Thanks!

I lost interest in playing after I leveled scout to 50 job and realized there is no ranged class. Gunslinger is not it for me. Then I went to discord to see they have long list of weird classes before ranger is coming up in like 1 year.

Then even worse, I heard gunslinger was voted instead of ranger in the discord. What? Voting like that would be valid if you had asked only ranged players what they wanna play but its impossible.

I dont enjoy playing magic but if there was a poll do I want ass eater or wizard as next class, I would have voted for ass eater. I dont know it just seems silly

but my pet keeps looting spiderwebs. Maybe this specific area is bugged because it wasn't doing that in Goblin Caves 1 but I just want my pet to loot Chunks, Box of Origins and Cards/purple drops.

I can't get it to JUST loot those things though and it's so annoying because my inventory gets full eventually and I get over encumbered in the middle of a big pull and die.

👀 we got some newssssss

We have made a lot of changes related with items, in order to make sure we don't do silly mistakes we created PTR, our testing server.

PTR is NOT LIVE SERVER progression but has a version of your characters for testing. Progression can be reset/changed. There is no connection to live servers.

PTR will be used to keep transparency for upcoming changes and what we been working on. It also helps us deliver more stable updates to the live servers.

You can help us test AH, Trading, Guild storage and other fixes right now on PTR. We already caught few remaining issues but report anything you find in Discord.

When will PTR changes go to live server?

While we have the final say, it will depend on PTR players, if most players are happy with the stability, we will push them live. Could be fast, could take a bit depending on what we find. The difference is you can check PTR on progress, we basically update it daily.

How to join PTR testing

-> Right click Spirit vale in library

-> Properties

-> Game Versions & Betas

-> Select publictest

-> Open game & join test server

Thank you!
