Not just with the items, but I feel like everyone's sentiment is more or less the same regarding the game as a whole. After talking to the best Toribash player who shall remain unnamed and taking another look at the physics in the trailer it looks more to me like Sumotori Dreams Next than Toribash. All things considered I'm reluctantly starting to look less forward to it and made me realize how Toribash is an even more perfect game than I thought it. The new content is still exciting though, 4-player duels are something I've wanted forever. Regardless I'm still hopeful that sir can train in the hyperbolic boxshu chamber and surpass hampa's gamemaking power level and makes the next best game ever with metaverse integration and the Toribash community can finally diet after raging. Worst case scenario sir accidentally gets his wrist dm'd (carpal tunnel) and then the game reruns its inevitable fate as some short-lived YouTube bait, but at least then people will be back to Toribash Normal.
It's a new game that's going to exist separately from Toribash so everyone starts fresh with completely separate accounts. In fact, TBN just uses your Steam / Epic account, we don't hold a lot of info on our servers (a bit more with Epic compared to Steam but still).
Toribash will continue receiving updates, it's not getting abandoned after TBN release.
Also hey stop exposing Kros, staff definitely didn't know he's been illegally selling TC.
