Tarvos: Universe - Classes What to expect from classes in BETA? This post is meant as a quick-peak overview to the initial classes and their categories in Tarvos: Universe. - Each class is balanced and has its own unique abilities, strengths and weaknesses. This allows players to strategically play whilst each following a unique and diverse storyline. This means that; NO - there are no overpowered classes. But plenty of space to find your own preferred playstyle. If you manage to master your playstyle, you'll find yourself in advantage during combat. Each category provides a light-weight, medium-weight and heavy-weight class. - Consider this your typical "tanks, fast DPS', healers type" layout. Knight: As the name suggests, these classes are very powerful at short range but don't be surprised if you do get nudged from a distance. Hunter: Effective from far, whether that's to oversee, provide assistance in a raid, or defend and stand ground in your own territory. Assassin: Sneaking up in the shadows, playing with the sound of silence. No need to blast and ring an alarm, just slow and steady.. Mage: Motioning with the art of life, bending the elements that surround us by nature.. This can be used for the good, to heal those you care about.. - Or the worse, total destruction of those that get in your way.

Phenomenal job @Tom & @James ! Tarvos already had been providing a gameplay we loved to call smooth as butter. That's now been taken to the next-est level, even further than anyone could've ever imagined on Minecraft. Congrats everyone! ❤

I forgot to mention that Mongo is much faster than SQL. Mongo or NoSQL in general is much newer than SQL. SQL has been around for ages. Some people don't like change. Migration is costly and hard in most cases. Mongo is about availability of data whereas SQL is about consistency i.e: ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation & Durability) A lot of tutorials will get programmers using SQL initially, i.e PHP tutorials

So, is there a downside to MongoDB? Why isn't thios as widely spread as SQL?

Mongo is advantageous because it: Scales when server loads increase. Scales horizontally rather vertically making it cost effective. Stores unstructured data so developers can quickly prototype Supports nested data, i.e arrays, objects within objects. Natively supports the JSON data format, which decreases conversion overheads.

Very interesting to read. I'm known with SQL but never heard of MongoDB. It sounds like this would not be a quicker way to store and retreive data, but that's probably my lack of knowledge on the matter. I think it's great that you guys are doing all you can to stabilize the server and its database. Shout out to @Tom for coming up with a solution that improves the performance! Will the previously established 2fa's still work, or will we have to link it again? And do you have an update on the staff portal? Anyhow, good work!
