Announcement Ask the CMs in English

Dear CMs we told you at the Twitch what you will do about the brown screen problems, you told us that it's not up to you to do something (and its not). So, can a developer tell us why theυ rush the rels one after another after not fixing the previews problems? You can't even repay what the users lost the past 40+days. Now that the whole server has the problem i think that its more fair though, i have to give that to the development team. My new sig totally fits this "rel". I think that this some kind of Chinese torture ..

 

loading time not only kill dragan event but kill the whole farming process and waste our delux member time

 

Here is another hint for your developer team. When there is a problem that is really big, you don't just dedicate one person to it... you stop all other operations and you put as many people on it until it works. In my profession (basically an IT like profession), if everyone is having issues accessing the internet properly and pages take 30-100 times as long to load, my entire team would stop all other projects until it is fixed. Also, if someone told me a week in advance that this was coming and I ignored them, I'd get fired... so who at BP needs to get fired and replaced with someone who will take their job seriously.

 

Your team is incompetent.

When are Realm Frag drop rate/quantities going to be increased?

 

it's why I left this game half a year ago when they promised to fix problems which had happened months before that though i still had more than 30k ander, months VIP, and of course Warlord Set+++ for new upgrades!

at the end of the day, I felt like I was a fool believing in their promise a year ago when people could exploit bug to get gems & anders! So i decided it's time to move on when lots of my (PRO) friends did left this game!

DSO was indeed a great game, but ...

if you love this game like Trak who decided lots of his time to help people via DSO wiki, keep contributing useful ideas to help DSO CMs to do their job!

Good luck everyone!

 

The old dragan set being exclusive to gnob was news to us. If you knew earlier that the event would not drop the old set, perhaps by communicating that to us, there would have been a big enough backlash for you guys to change course.

Again, do you realise how difficult it is to get that much draken? To think i was complaining about 12k draken being hard to get, 19k? If the old set is weak compared to the new set, why does it cost so much draken?

I dont understand the motivation behind a new player, they will almost never be able to compete with veteran players, so whats the point? The way that you guys are punishing new players, they wont even be strong enough to play the game. Makes me sick thinking about the grind a player has to do to get items that i used to melt regularly (havent farmed significantly in a while).

 

Well i need 2 minutes to get in a map and in those 2 minutes my client frozes my pc too. If i open anything else while the client is frozen it freezes my windows and i need to restart sometimes to unfroze it. And no i dont play on a crap pc

 

I have had a chat with them way before the release went live ... they were saying it is probably my connection or the fact TS has a very small capacity and at that time it was full with players.
Like I haven't been playing at TS when it is full.
Can you imagine ... a "computer scientist" persuading another "computer scientist" that the issue is his connection (I have 50/50Mbps internet bandwidth with very fast response)
And now when the shit hit the fan ... they have been caught surprised

 

Naahhh it was just me ... screwing around with your loading screen

 

"No amount of our product going in meltdown mode will get in the way of our weekends!! The players can suffer for four days and we'll give them a voucher for 10 hp potions and a 200 Pearls, that should be sufficient."

 

I still wait a response for my first message dear CM's. I think that i should make a gif like my signature but this time from the Dev diaries that they uploaded. It should be fun, what do you other members think ?

 

It would be more fun than this stupid event, I bet

 

I can not understand you kidding me? WHAT THE HELL CUT HELMET AND GLOVES? First you cut a long bow you have now reached the armor!!!You trolls it archers?And want to remove this class from the game?How long will this mockery???

 

Remember the previous Black Warlord Set?, it had 15% increased damage for Longbows, as opposed to 30% in 2H weapons for every other class, that's because of the multiple reasons discussed over and over and over and freaking over again in this thread and this forums, now, what in the world made you think they would release an equal set for rangers this time around?

If the display info in my ranger's event tab is correct, you're still getting 30% increased weapon damage when using a longbow with this new set, the other classes have 40%, can't afford a quiver that makes up for that 10% difference?, with the previous set the difference was 15%, understand now?

 

I have 5 years playing Drakensang and all perfectly understand!tired of all these quivers and shields! talking about it only the stupid players that archers have never played...any of them good if we have no damage due to the fact that systematically cut things on the stats and skills! understand now?Let clean quiver and shield and make two-handed weapons on par with everyone!They are constantly asking for it but the developers absolutely all requests to not care and they continue to cut the archers

 

I'm sorry, but you lost me as soon as you started whining about RAs being disadvantaged. I seem to remember a RA with MASSIVE DPS... Better than my DK's DPS with my insanely OP 2H weapon, and he only has the Bearach bow. Troneck is a demonstration of a Ranger built right, playing to a Ranger's strengths as opposed to whining about your weaknesses. When he finally crafts a truly powerful bow via Crafting 2.0, he will be absolutely terrifying. Instead of whining about not having enough damage, how about you work on your crit rate and your crit damage and you will reach DPS that shame most 2H players.

 

The whinning comes exactly from there, from his/her lack of understanding the difference between the raw damage and damage per second a character can deal, despite this being a somewhat basic principle..., and being here for 5 years...

 

@_Baragain_ I have been asking for a buff to rangers. The build of @Troneck86 is insane, but does he need a group? The group needs him if anything. I can't imagine a group that would make a run faster for him, unless they all split up clearing seperate parts of the map.

Rangers like him are rare. What is the goal of the ranger, to become so strong that you don't need a group? It doesn't make sense to me. Give the same stats to a mage, and i bet the mage would be faster than the ranger. Ironically the dwarf which everybody wants nerfed suffers at the high end because of the animations. Ive heard of a dwarfless group consisting of 2 rangers, 1 mage, 1 tank and 1 useless afk dk clearing all maps of q3 with mini bosses in 5 mins. I cant imagine the stats of a dwarf to achieve that.

Dwarfs are better at killing end bosses, and because of the way the game is set up with portals, a dwarf can get better gear faster. I bet the average dwarf has better gear than the average ranger, and maybe thats why everyone is arguing for the dwarf nerf. I imagine they will at least nerf the essence usage for dwarfs, which will mean that dwarfs will have to use essence toggle to be cost effective, taking the fun out of the game even further, or just switch to green completely.

A mage offers support, with freezes, singularity, and can even protect the group with guardian and mind control having a monster lure. A mage also damages.
A dk can tank or damage.
A dwarf can do everything (cant tank end bosses) but typically seen only doing damage.
A ranger just does damage, and often because of the gear, makes the group slower than without them. They have an armor break skill which i rarely see them use. The thorns aura is nice.

I have been discriminating against grouping with rangers for a while as do most groups. Even if they did get a buff to increase damage, unless its enough damage to outdo the dwarf in pw bosses, they still wont be requested for in groups. But then it will be the poor dwarf that cant get a group. Would be cool if a ranger had supportive auras giving group players damage bonusses, but maybe they are saving such skills for the rogue, which will probably be as useless in a group as most rangers are.

 

You definitely sound like one.
Ranger's advantage over the other classes is the "versatility" ... rangers can have more flexible builds because they can use one more (off-hand) item both with short and long bow.
But in the same time that is a sort of disadvantage because they need to spend more resources than the other classes ... and of course they need to craft/find one extra item.
Another disadvantage is the crowd control ... rangers can't control the monsters like SWs can.

Rangers have no problem with the damage. It is the players who don't/can't understand how to play. 99.9% of the rangers were playing with shortbows until yesterday and now suddenly they are switching to long bow and think they are good to play with the same tactics, same build and same habits. Well that is not working that way. I can always see rangers who are not using EA because they think it is spending to much concentration ... which is not true ... all those EA concentration points are well spent ... of course if used properly. I can see rangers who are firing 2 or more consecutive EAs ... the only thing they do is wasting their concentration in vain.

 

About that Black Screen of Death and the lengthily loading screen.
It is funny ... because they already implemented new version at TS and it is working flawlessly ... super fast loading time both when switching maps and loading the game. And they didn't implemented it at live servers because they are LAZY and don't want to work in weekends! I read their explanation :

Really? What else can go more wrong than this? Oh wait ... maybe the shop can be affected and it will be loading in longer time than usual ... and that is not acceptable for them. Their philosophy is "selling always comes first" ... but they don't realize it is like selling life insurance to a dead man.
