Announcement Ask the CMs in English

Others judge you on the results of your actions, not so much on your intentions, if at all.
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
Problems that occur over and over and over imply incompetence or lack of concern. Either is unacceptable.

Individual designers and programmers, etc, do have limited scope in their individual projects, items beyond their control. Hang the managers first.

 

I don't care if I'm insulting, I'm just so angry because of the discrepancy between the positive optimistic way they view the game and how the game actually is. If the guys working on this game would actually play and if they'd be passionate about it, then they would realize that it's so annoying to put rocks everywhere and when a ranger uses blade dance he'll hit rocks and blade on the spot (or even worse, he'll blade dance through the rock but he'll get kicked back after the dance animation is over). Most of the times you don't even see the rocks because you're surrounded by many mobs. You also have to click 1-2 death swings (or whatever skill you have on your left click) in between the blade dances and get even more hits from mobs while you do that. How stupid is that? If they played the game they would notice this and fix it. I mean, who asked for rocks? everybody loves rocks right? Can't you make them like grass, only for design, but not actual solid objects.

What bothers me the most is not their incompetency, but the fact that they don't care. And I don't understand why Yogo would defend people who just don't deserve it. This is like the sheep who love and follow Obama / Bush / the royal family / the Pope / any authoritative figure... and they defend them when you say something bad about them, but Obama (or whoever) couldn't care less about them and doesn't even know they exist. And they're also defending someone who they don't really know, they only know their public persona, they are fooled by appearances.

And who cares about giving constructive criticism when they're gonna do whatever they want anyway.
They look at the opinions of the new players who have been playing for 2 weeks and conclude that the releases are so nice and successful. But most of the positive opinions are from those who haven't had enough time to figure this game in and out, with all its bugs and very annoying things.

I wish we had people who are passionate about this game, working on it, like baragain, bigpapa, sebastian, shiladitya, darwarren, etc.. so many highly intelligent, open minded people on this forum. Not just programmers who are just doing this becase it's their job, or the actual producer / investor who only cares about squeezing more money

 

@misterbean I like the passion you have for the game. But its a game, meant to be something you do to have fun... As darwarren said, blame the management. Even if they listened to you, it will still take time for them to develop it and release the patch, seems you have had enough of waiting. The game is just too hard for most players.

 

Blame is not my intent, that would be too slight.
Free to play invest their time and energy, pay to play invest some money as well. They all get ripped off by BigPoint.

 

Hi Haruki,

straight to the question - how much hours do you put in playing DSO weekly or monthly, your choice. And what do you hate the most about the game?
Thank you for your time.

 

Flag on the play,15 yard penalty, Unnecessary roughness. {Holds MB back as he charges opposing team bench} MB take a shot for me and breath (in through the nose......out through the mouth)

 

When it's about PvP... I think we can't say which class is OP and which isn't, as long as we don't have this Steadfastness skill.

Stun someone and he will be dead anyhow. Stuns are the way to kill someone, before you could have a stun immunity of 4sec. But now it's gone, making stuns the most powerful thing in PvP.

That immunity is what every player needs, add it in the PvP - tree for 10 points I'd suggest? 10 points are most certainly worth it. I think that's a 1st step in balancing the system. PvP isn't quite as fun as it used to be. I can say that if I play against 3 warriors in a 3vs3 game (don't think I wanna say warriors are OP or anything, I just wanna use an example), and all 3 of them focus on me, I die like a fly because I can't escape from 9 stuns.

 

Usually I ask something in this section but I think all players need a lot of more health points, around 25 thousand, maybe more or less, I don't know an exactly number, the increase in % points of wisdom was not enough, damage are so high that life is not sufficient for resist two shots, otherwise you know what happens and again. I agree with your point of view about stuns.

 

I'd like to thank the CMs (or whomever) for not only gifting us with a daily bonus for a bunch of days but for adding the Solstice Cave presents. So, thank you.

I am wondering what the logic was in getting two of the same costumes, that start a one-day count-down at the same time. If there was some way to give them to a different toon, that might make sense but I'm a bit confounded on that one. Or was the gift supposed to be two different costumes?

 

Seems that is the new model for DSO, give players something and then take it away.

 

I summoned my Tree on the edge of a bridge and it did not appear but went into cooldown. I was so angry i soiled myself. Yep, I shat right in my armor. I was happy to have a fresh change of clothes in the temp costumes that looked the same. Anyone know a good laundry service that can remove the afore mentioned soilage and a bit of troll guts?

 

At the beginning we could buy some set, in a few days they changed the whole idea. This clearly shows the planning scope they are doing. They have no experience as designers whatsoever. I bet they are thinking now - "we can just implement new sets or some cosmetic stuff to dump in that fragment shop, yeah, this will make players happy.". While this seems like a valid plan, it also shows that they have absolutely no idea what items they will dump in this shop.

Stupendous.

 

The error prediction & prevention model in BigPoint + Time-To-Reaction way to go.

Wise BP BrainMan:
ok guys, what to do with all those overpowered toons that keep killing me even if i am full-pumped admin? We will make things harder, Painful !
No, let me think ... Excruciating! And indeed Fatal !!!
And the PW bosses? Give them a devastating amount of life, Balor must appear like a little pupil! They will spend hundreds and hundreds of altergems to complete tasks! Mwhuahuahuha!

Newly HiredMan:
Seems something unfair ... what about the reward for all this trouble? Old PW items are so ridicolous, even the end-game boss weapons ...

Wise BP BrainMan:
Errrr ... develop a way to reunificate the PW currency to buy some better items, we will think in a second moment what to do exactly. No real reason to work on it at present.

Always Wise BP BrainMan, to HR chief:
pssss ... who's that tick? Fire him, immediately.

... some weeks later ...

TesterMan:
Ehm ... people exploited the PW. I see in the database that some toons have 9 rings of Heredur and 300.000 materi fragments without spending a single altergem ...

Wise BP BrainMan:
Damn it! Taskforce to stop this, now! Immediate fix for tomorrow, fast! Avoid the bosses exploit! Change the shops! They shouldnt buy all that new stuff!

Another Newly HiredMan:
But sir, seems that there are a limited amount of accounts having so much 'incredible' stuff, new currency, new items ... if you stop all this way, world will be upset.

Wise BP BrainMan:
Argh ... where do you come from? You're new, isnt'it? You don't understand the fine art of monetization. If BigPoint were in your hands, you surely will ruin it in a couple of weeks. Who cares about complaining, don't you know that people do remember nothing?
Come on guys, stop it now. Don't want those 300.000 fragments spent without a single altergem.

Always Wise BP BrainMan, to HR chief:
Did i tell you to fire that man? Why not yet done?
HR chief:
It's another new guy. The other was already fired.
Wise BP BrainMan:
Uh, who cares. Fire also that newcomer. He doesn't understand anything.

 

Man! I've to log in to like this comment
Hope, CM will help us to implement community ideas ASAP, though it may not possible until next year

 

They said the set is not for end gamers, it's just for people who just got to level 50 and need a little boost

 

To CMs: This has probably been mentioned before but please provide us with another skill slot for the new skills... and while you're doing that an additional quick slot for health potions/ rage/ mana/ concentration/ steam, etc. (can be tiny) would be greatly appreciated by all, i'm sure.

EDIT: and pls give us back the space bar as an assignable key!!

 

When is the essence toggle coming? I also saw an "auto play" key in my keyboard settings, but it does nothing. Is this the Asian feature that snuck onto the regular build?

 

Hi,
One small suggestion. When we get into a duel and are in but waiting outside the arena for another opponent to get in, please remove the "being kicked out for non activity" function. Feels already stupid waiting, and more like an idiot just moving in circles in the waiting zone. Thx.

 

Sorry, ridiculous.
As a DK you only have to run fast enough to avoid the turrets, stun the poor dwarf with one of your 3 skills and use a DoT attack to kill him.
I play a lvl 50 AND a lowlevel dwarf (Knight of the order at lvl 20), and at least at lowlevel, GOOD DKs are the hardest to beat of all char classes.

Dwarfs have only 1 stun skill (which they get very late, at high level) and only 1 liberation skill, that is enough of a disadvantage in PvP.

You can still buy the upgrade gem for crafting three unique parallel world rings into a tier-2-one, for 35k materi fragments.

But I agree with you in that there should be sth else on offer, and I actually assume BP is planning to introduce some more stuff.
Personally, I like the idea of giving players their first tier-1 untouchables set via the quests (as it was with the old Ammon set), but I think unlocking the additional dealers and having them sell the items could have been kept in the game. We are depending on drop luck all too much anyway, it would have been nice to be able to complete one (tier-3) set just by pure perseverance.

Dear Haruki, I am still waiting for any statement on the issue with the lifekeeper losing its regeneration ability after a certain number of blocked hits within the same map. A shame this was not addressed together with the nerf in R159!

 

this explains why the majority of top PVP players are non-SM, sadly! Pro end-game players always know how to stun & stop this char from doing any dmg at all!

I can confirm this bro since i've met a DK with nearly 80% armo and more than 50% resistance with more than 16k HP + 25% dmg reduction PVP skill bro!
Honestly, nobody could kill him due to such stats & Gnob weapon :|
During our fights, the only thing we could do is to stun & slow him while trying to capture his team flag :|

I'm just asking if you guys allow SM to heal without trading the ability to use turrets!
Besides SM turrets can't protect us from (pink skill stun) though using 5 points for the skill.
Fatal mode: 1h SM + shield (nobody wanna party), 2h SM (nightmare) without healing ability (low dmg when healing, almost 0 crit) - no premium == impossible to experience this mode

Lv 50 spark boot, belt + lv40 spark hand (full set) doesn't trigger achievement! :|

I hope you guys enhance DK ability in next releases, so i can get back to play Dragon Knight! I still love its 200% ability to heal + crit!
