The State of Tartaros

So for those who didn’t know, since about August of last year I injured my arms and I’ve had strained muscles ever since. I tried to go  to a doctor to correct this problem but it didn’t help that much. At least it helped a BIT but the pain has returned with a vengeance last month. Due to this I can no longer play Tartaros. I am not permanently retiring, but I need to stop as long as necessary because playing puts a lot of stress on the muscles that I injured. This of course includes computer typing as well but typing a few words every few minutes here & there isn’t the same as pressing the same 4 buttons over & over for 1-2 hours at a time. It’s my own fault for sitting on my ass all day and petrifying my muscles but now I need to take care of myself so it doesn’t get to the point where I lose feeling in my arms permanently…as this is irreversible.

Tartaros itself has been going downhill. With the staff nerfing the game left & right and nerfing already weak characters a lot of people are quitting. I can never find public parties anymore (though I’ve pretty much given up on them anyway…).  Stuff in the market’s overpriced because they lowered the drop rate out of cash boxes. Events are repetitive or give really crappy items that aren’t worth bothering with. New maps & challenges have become so difficult that you pretty much need a +15 weapon or need to be 5 levels above to be able to do it.

I remember when every channel would be Green or Yellow or even Red…now even on Tartaros day, only maybe ch. 1 and 3 will be green or orange while the rest continue to remain blue. Reading 2ch people are saying all their Nagi using guildmates have even moved to other games. I don’t blame them honestly…after they nerfed Aerlot I am completely demotivated to level him up. Thanks to my arm pain, Tartaros leveling went from being fun to just being a chore. (´・ω・`;)

Anyway I hope the game can improve, I hope that Tartaros can go back to being fun like it was 2 years ago and I hope my arms heal…but until then I’ll be taking a break from this game. This also includes me taking a break from posting macros. Actually this is a permanent decision I have made for this blog. Thanks for reading if you got this far!

Tartaros Phase 2 Impressions

Ok so because I had a ton of guild points left I managed to exchange enough books to try out phases for 5 characters & see impressions from friends,  so here are my final thoughts.

Cromodo:

  • Glacier Master’s Ice Arrow Ex doesn’t chase the enemy and can’t even kill the enemy directly in front of you. Complete garbage.
  • Flare Master loses Alphonse so no more meat shield for Cromodo.
  • Ice Dust now has HP and it’s so soft & squishy that it dies so damn fast there’s practically no point in using it. Additionally it also eats up heals from characters like Nagi or Aerlot so instead of saving Cromodo, it makes it easier for him to die with the damn ice cubes.
  • Inferno & that Fire thing Ex are pretty awesome. They have ridiculous crit rates but I have a feeling those will be adjusted cause everyone’s complaining about them being too high. STFU no all of us have level +15 weapons ٩(╬ʘ益ʘ╬)۶
  • Cromodo loses his Ice JK if you become flare master. Why. He has it as an elementalist & Glacier Master so what the fck?

Tartaros February Macros

Phew almost missed them completely.

Ruko & Elpin have become such a canon yuri pair I am disappoint. Also they’re clearly making Aerlot seem gay and making Soma seem as shotafied as ever (even though we’ve clearly seen that he’s not actually a shota….sigh). I’ll have the March macros up soon.

Disappointing that they did nothing about Ruko’s birthday except add the stupid voice macro meh.

Tartaros Character Birthday List

Well Tartaros got on the bandwagon too and posted everyone’s bdays along with horoscopes for their signs. I find it hilarious cause Cromodo’s bday is 1 day before my husband’s and my bday is 2 days after Ilishia’s 😆 クロたんは俺の嫁(๑´ლ`๑)♡

Ruko – February 28
Soma – April 1
Pinko – May 5
Nagi – June 23
Shubalman – August 20
Aerlot – September 5
Cromodo – October 17
Ilishia – November 12
Elpintos – December 25

I hope this means we’ll have some kind of birthday events for the characters like how they do on Pangya!

Tartaros 2 Year Anniversary

Welp looks like Tartaros has hit 2 years. I remember quitting and coming back last year for the 1 year anniversary. I guess no matter how grindy this game gets I still love it lol. (Even though lately I’ve only been leveling up my Cromodo and Ruko x3).  Lots of upcoming events, which I hope are decent since the Fate/Zero collab is rather lame. Thanks for a great 2 years!
