Announcement Ask the CMs in English

You were supposed to wait for the sales, I guess.

 

Don't know where exactly should I post this but I am gonna give it a try here, correct me or move post if I am wrong.
DK skill Battle frenzy, normal critical on my char is 4997 or aka 45.05%, when I use Battle frenzy and I stack it 50 times, says it should be 20% increase of hit rate. But instead of roughly 5996 (or 6k) critical, it displays 5772 of critical, so its missing around 224 critical. Can you forward this to someone to check? Thx.

 

You simply misunderstand the game mechanic.
Time for me to take a guess at your gear and one of your gems:

You use Bloodtooth and the 4% crit rate gem from the winter event.

This was calculated as so:

Your listed build crit is 4997. Your buffed crit is 5772. This is an increase of 775. This is 20% of your "base crit," not your "build crit." That means that I can calculate your base crit by doing 775/0.2=3875. 3875*(1+0.25+0.04)=4999. Accounting for rounding errors, this is it your crit. Also, when we do 3875*(1+0.25+0.04+0.20)=5774. Now, lets work backwards and see if the 3875 is a good estimate. 4997/1.29=3873.6. This would round to 3874. Also, when plugging that into calculating your total crit with the Battle Frenzy buff, you get 5771.7 which rounds to 5772.


In conclusion, unless I'm wrong about your gear choice (and the numbers work out too perfectly for that to be likely), the mechanic has nothing wrong with it. You just need to learn how it works better. Similar things happen with HP pets, essence, % damage stats, and many other stat modifying items that stack their percentages with other percentages.

 

Yeah, you probably did the game math wrong. I'm guessing you have a bunch of % crit gear going like bloodtooth, darkness helmet, etc? The 20% gets added to the multiplier from those items and then that gets multiplied against the +crit idtems.

In other words, you add up your + crit items, and then multiply that against the sum of your crit multiplier items and skills.

Edit: what baragain said...

 

How any times do people including CM haruki needs to state that the items will be available for individual purchases soon just like before.You could have just waited and save like 10k drakens

 

Dead CM's

When are the daily challenges gonna be improved?

I personally do not like arena challenges and the fact that it costs 80 Andermant for a new challenge but most of the time it just gives one same challenge (for knowledge) over and over again until I run out of Andermant.

Beats the heck out of me why you can't make it free challenge change for all and not just premium users.
I'am expecting your replay on this matter, it's really annoying feature and it just made me in a bad mood now since I lost all of my Andermant and did not get new challenge.


Edit: Here is the idea, make daily challenges free to change for all users, premium or not and make gems swap for premium users free of charge. It's that simple.

 

Some things off the top of my head...

#1 It would be really nice if something were done regarding the Realm Fragment issue. I reckon that adding a chance to get some higher stacks of drops (5x, 10x) every now and then would be helpful. Or just make every drop 3x, if not 5x. Then people wouldn't have much more reason to complain in this regard.

#2 Since we've recently had (a not-so-nicely pushed-back) New Moon and I went for some runs to get lv50 Witch gear (surprise-surprise, only dropped the torso in a lotta runs)... I keep wondering why the heck don't they remove that silly weapon from the boss' drop-pool. Since the unique drop is so bad, getting one and seeing it's the damn axe/bow/wand/gun is annoying. And with recent item changes, it's way easy to get weapons better than it by miles (some crit. and some damage... the Ice resistance is useless). Full Moon has no such "fodder" unique. Just a thought. Oh, and of course... too many claws, not enough Hard scrolls dropped.

Yeah... we've been hearing that "soon" since Gnob became a fixed Kingshill merchant. Just saying .

 

When the archers will make two-handed weapons?Why you developers completely don't care?Because archers cut explosive arrow don't want them to take to the party!!!Because of this, players roll to play this class!And also the new players have no desire to play them as in any survey what is the best class to create archers always in last place! I personally play an Archer for 1 year and I still have never dropped a Longbow on which the high magic would exceed 60% of YOU UNDERSTAND 60%!!! If you create a gnome and run them in City of Cardhuna then starting at level 10 they drop a two-handed weapon with 100-150% increased magic!If you for some reason can't create archers, two-handed weapons that don't you think it would be correct to raise greater magic long bows?

 

Archers can't and won't get 2H without dramatic changes in existing skills and unique gear. For example, full warlord set boosts 2H or shield for dk, sm, sw, but boosts both a longbow and buckler for ranger. And if 2H were available, the top damage skills would have to be rethought.

 

what are you even talking about Seth Dragan?It actually increases all block and damage and if you do not know what the mages tanks and dwarfs, he increases two-handed weapon by 30% archers and 15% feel the difference???in this case, once the archers are no two-handed weapon, he should not give 15% a 45% archers at the moment are at the bottom of the page on the popularity of classes!!! It is a pity that the developers don't care about this and they have priority to make a transparent interface for the group and awful ivent in which there is no drop!!!

 

OK, I get it now, thank you for clarfying things.

 

You can wear a quiver or a buckler on top of that 15%, feel the difference?, if you fail to see the potential of a Longbow that's your problem, ask for advice.

I've said myself before that Rangers are somewhat underpowered compared to other classes on PvE, but it's deeper than just "longbows are bad", because I'm afraid they're not, if you put some brain and thought on how to use them effectively.

As for the popularity of rangers, lol, talk about subjective, my server begs to differ, at times there would be 30+ level 50 rangers in Cardhun along with 5-6 DKs and 3-4 SMs.

-------------------

By the way @CM Haruki , I dunno if this has been pointed out before, I've been making the remark to support in several of my reports regarding error 23, but I only get error 23 in Kingshill or Cardhun, never in any other map/city, it always shows up when entering, or teleporting back any of those 2 cities, I dunno about the rest of the people, but that's my particular case, I just wanted to drop this observation here as well in case it's of any use or serves as a lead to the possible source of the issue.

There was even one time when I logged into my alts first, for daily quests, and had no issues at all, but as soon as I tried in my main, which was in Cardhun, I got trapped into the error 23 the server was into at that moment, later I got word my guildmates were kicked a few minutes before, hope this helps even if it's a little bit (and yes, got kicked due to error 23 a few minutes ago, again, Kingshill...).

 

You can also dc just sitting there, or attempting to sell/melt.

Interesting observation. I am rarely parked in any other city besides KH and Cardhun so that may skew the representation of other cities for me. However, there was once where I knew I was likely logging into an error 23 zone based on what I'd been told on FB. So I logged an alt located in Werian Sanctuary and loaded just fine. I immediately switched to main (forgot where that one is located, but likely Cardhun), and got the "All connection attempts failed." I reloaded the game and tried logging the same alt again, this time to the Error 23 message.

muchas grracias

ps. @ Haruki Madamm
don't take it personal

 

possibly the worst English ever, but then based on the last sentence that is normal, I take it its a mickey take?

 

All bows are 2H that are acting like 1H weapon.
99.9% of the rangers who are asking for 2H weapons are not familiar enough with the class and don't know how to make a good longbow setup. They don't understand the game mechanics and therefore they are always using wrong equipment and wrong skills.
Black Warlord Regalia is not a good set for the rangers.

 

I have found the reason behind the error 23.
Kingshill and Cardhun you say ... eh?
Why are these two towns different than the others ... what makes them different ... what is in there that is not present in any other town?
What? ...
It is that stupid punk Zahir it is all his fault. He is present only in those two towns.
He didn't upgraded his cloaks offer ... since level 40 ... therefore that makes error 23.
Hunt him down and kill him ... unless he obtains new level 50 cloak(s).
Those two solutions are the only solutions for the error 23.

 

All of us at the end game could probably say this, but how much time do you spend in any other city/map? I've stopped doing boss runs because I get disconnected so often that I'm simply wasting frags to teleport there. I've tried running the new boring event and get disconnected there.

After the 162 the error 23 message seemed to drop off a little, but as soon as 163 went through it came back with a vengeance. Right now for me it is as bad as it has ever been.

It has gotten so frustrating for me, that I created a character on Agathon just to be able to play for more than a few minutes at a time.

Maybe it's a coincidence that this only happens on the least populated server, but I'd bet my last dollar if Heredur was having this issue the entire DSO team would be working around the clock to fix it. No way they would allow this to go on for months and months.

 

hello my fan

 

Well, not a lot indeed, but daily, yes, I stationed my characters in different cities just for the sake of it, and as silverseas said, it happens that sometimes when the server has been under error 23 we can log into our alts in other than those two cities, then we step into Cardhun or Kingshill and we get trapped into it.

Of course, it's a theory, if I could predict when error 23 is going to strike I would be more than glad to test every single map with my alts to help isolate the problem if possible, even learn how to record to provide video proof.

And hey, I never said this was an absolute truth, I'm trying to help anyway I can for the sake of us all in Tegan, we could try to keep in touch with out guildmates and test whenever we happen to arrive to a error 23 ridden server.

EDIT: Just got error 23 again, after trying to teleport to Cardhun...
