Release 139 [Feedback]

R139. I was premium. General: I do not like it.

Pros:
1. removal of CoT, but that not so much of a benefit, think of it.
2. +% of fame
3. better for F2P
4. looks like unique drop rate improved. didn't it?

Cons, especially for Premiums
1. Crafting cost way to high.
2. Drop prices are almost the same.
3. no advantage for premiums in identification
4. no option to craft higher priced item. lets say you have 4 cheap gloves. with free craft you were able to get the improved crit dmg % and higher price to sell. now you sell what you have.
5!! with CoTs, you were farming for Legend (to be crafted) and CoT at the same time. now you kind of need to doulble the effort. Believe me, by the time I craft the item I need, I've had enough of CoT to identify.
6. New version is buggy. Got a crash when moving Legendary boots to chest with error like 'player already has this talant'
7. XP-block not addressed. players still party with 45lvl to farm items and everything else.

I guess I'll not be a premium anymore and CoT vs Gold... it is crazy. CoT was much much easier.

....

Suggestions
1. Introduce configurability of the gameplay. For instance, some players wants items identified at a moment they pick them up. I still like clicking, because I want to know which is new and which ole. But that is just a matter of preference. Second: I would love to disable automatic essence pick-up for blue essences. that could be also configurable. etc
2. For premiums, do the real auto-pickup of silver and adems so there is no need to walk to them. That would be a real and not-that-big benefit over non-premiums
3. Faster horse use for premium. I mean decrease the time required to get on the horse. also small and nice advantage. etc

Btw, items are actually identified the moment you pick them up and you could tell if it is crap or not by looking at the price. you just do not see real values.

 

making a better free to play online game ?? its more like pay to win no good things for ppl that cant affort to pay real money, cristals of truth was a good thing and fun soon you will have to pay for getting out of town

 

I haven't played DSO for a month now!!! Today i played less than 1 hour and this is what i think of the R139...

The giving "Old premium"(with small changes) to everybody is a step forward towards the F2P class.(perhaps many of them stopped playing, like myself and you're trying to call them back).

Forcing players to lvl up to be able to enter higher wilderness/dungeons, is a very good move...but not perfect.
Low lvl players are still able to enter and play events with lvl 45, meaning that low lvl's still can farm for GoP and obtain special gear, like Dragan's set without a sweat.

Also, no word upon the "new animation" for DK's. I have tried to play with my lvl 45 and....its disgusting, he is slower than before and aiming/attacking isn't correct, so i have a hard time hitting all mobs around me due to the "new animation".

I know that the dev team will never back down of their implemented stuff, like the "loot comparison", so my question still remains...
...will the dev team create or not a option to switch character's, a DK to a SW??? or any other class???

I hate the DK as he is right now, so...i would like to have an answer!!!
I'm going to play with my SW now, to see if i still feel motivated or not...only because you gave us free "premium" doesn't mean it's a great update or a motivation to play.

 

As an update, it all came down as mostly bupkis. I did get a shield for my dwarf with 3 block rate lines for about 120~125 block rate total and the 3rd line was +24 damage, but i already had a level 45 vargulf shield with ~135% block rate, +16 damage, and 200+ lightning resist, so i will keep using that. I got a decent +500 armor helmet as well but my dwarf already has 3300+ armor and i probably will keep using the black knight helmet (the intermediate dragan event helm) to get some block reduce.

My 28 legendaries opened for the DK was completely bupkis.

This may be minor, but I have to ask.... was the number of shabby chests reduced in the various dungeons after this upgrade? It may be just my luck but when running through my normal "grind" dungeons, but I seem to be finding more and more empty spots where there used to be chests.

I have also noticed the the number of chests seems to be reduced more the higher the level the toon. So if dungeon 1 has 4 chests with level 15 character, that same dungeon has 2 chests for level 20 and 6 for level 10.

 

Just bad luck with the game random. A while ago I ran a lvl 32 toon thru Crypt, normal (I was bored since another non-event is going on and wanted the kill the king achievement )

Anyway every possible chest was there. On top of that none where empty (AW maxed on this toon) and even got 3 key drops

Luck be with ye,
Mikey,
Tegan

 

Dang.... I ran though with a few toons and missed almost all the chests. Maybe tomorrow will be better!

Thanks for the hope.

 

This is probably one of the more exciting updates I've seen since I started playing. As someone who's never enjoyed the privileges associated with premium, not having to click on coins anymore is an amazing experience. I'm really quite glad this is going to be a feature for all since I've developed a habit of just leaving coins on the ground because I got tired of clicking.

I like the ability to have premade skill setups. I've managed to switch between lightning and fire more times this evening than the rest of the year combined. I would ask for the ability to have premade key setup for skills as well so I don't have to drag and drop all my skill placement each time I feel like switching. (Ahhh, so going to miss this feature when this free premium expires. D< )

Overall, I am enjoying this update, but I also haven't bothered to craft anything simply because I know I can't afford the gold cost.

 

i wait some explication about this grimmag's set . where drop , what gives other items from set ..... picture is not mine , a guy post it on facebook

 

Awesome update! They are all very useful updates so far.
But really - the one thing that I like the best is the two options for the talent tree.
Please don't make that only for premium...

It makes it so much easier for everyone to play both pvp and pve as much as they like... otherwise people will end up choosing only one or the other (especially those who know how to play their class properly)

More people doing pvp - less imbalance in pvp team making

It just lets us play more conveniently (and so play longer )

 

1) After increasing drop rate of money ,while reducing the quantity dropped , Bp give us free money-looter.
Why don't Bp just put back things as before the bigban instead ?

2) Instead of removing CoT drop, why don't Bp just put back the drop rate as before the bigban or reduce the requirementes for item's identification ?

3) ALL players ( before the bigban ) can drop purple and red essence as well. With the 139, dropping those essence is reintroduced as Payer's privilege.

4) I stopped crafting blue items as well, everything gone melt. More gliph of course.

5) No different selling item value between identified or unidentified item , why should I click on a greeny instead of 4)

6) (premium only ) Two possible skill set up that you can change ONLY in town Which is the difference of a free change as used to be ? Reply!!! PLEASE!

 

For non-premium it was 5 free resets - and then you have to pay 100 andermant to change your tree. ( I think it still is like that?)

The Premium have free reset anyway! Why make the second experience/fame tree available only to them....

PLEASE MAKE IT AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONEEEEE .

 

I'am so sorry for off topic, but what is that set? Is there a version for DK's? :O

 

@NikolasG9 and @Master0fpuppets

The mysterious cube drops these I feel this is still on topic bc it came to us via R139. You MUST have prium account.

@Bloodstain and @alchimista

I think I'll answer 2 questions. First the I and II in the skill tree makes it faster to change if you both 45 level and 40 fame. Secondly IF it is only available to prium accounts then this is an incentive for people to purchase one. Please note in my guild people with prium accounts are debating on dumping it. I tried fairly hard to explain about mysterious cubes but...

 

Thanke you!
I have premium.

 

No, I don't think you need level 45 level and 40 fame to use the I and II skill tree's... it's very useful for everyone.

And It's not much added incentive for premium accounts, because as i mentioned before - They can already reset their talents for free!

I'm not talking about the free reset - leave this as an incentive for premium players...
I'm just talking about the option of having two non-reset-able (only with andermant) talent trees!

 

I like the new release. Y'all actually did something for the F2P. Well done.

Not that it means anything to y'all, but you have renewed some faith with me in the game. Took forever for y'all to listen, but ya listened.

I will play a while as a F2P player, if everything is good I have no problems renewing my membership.

Awesome job guys!!!

 

You can switch pvp talent tree in arena, i tried it and it works just fine.

 

ya,now just make crafting whites to green,since thats all i been getting is white mostly and a few green,stalgard is the worst,if they drop at all,,its all whites.
have silver drop starting at level 10,cant craft at all now with my low lvl toons,,theres no money even with this premium
just dont get how u want gold to be a part of this game when there is no way of getting it,,(copper drops dont add up).
its like why do we still have pennies in real life,nickles r fine lol
