Feedback Release 218

Knowing this DEV team, they will remove all good rewards from there and then nobody will want to play season lol.

 

Here's my feedback.

1. A marked increase in both client, and particularly server, crashes. Very annoying. Please fix.

2. So now we only have 2 PvP modes available. Storm the fortress and the new 1v8.
What about those of us who are still doing the costume and mount quests for the missing
modes? Even if these will be available some of the time, this will still lengthen the time to complete the quests.

3. Whilst I praise the Devs for bringing a new PvP mode, unfortunately I've not been able to play this,
as it takes too long to get a match. Here's a possible solution to this. If after say 2\3 minutes there
aren't 8 players waiting, just start the match with the players available.
Or just only call us to the arena when there are actually 8 players available and waiting.

 

All the modes + new mode 8FFA are available but with cycles.

 

Not really. If you play during a specific time of the day then you have 2 modes available. And here on Tegan if the solo mode is not 1v1 I can pretty much forget about doing my pvp dailies.

 

What New Mode?
8FFA is around since 2013.

Exactly ... not even worth playing since you will always have same mode available. That is why I haven't noticed any changes on TS because I play there at certain time of the day ... every day.

That is called torture.

 

But this is not the reality of the game, there are 5 modes even if you can just play 2 of them, I'm talking about the game not about personal situations.
Anyways they are changing cycles more often now.
And forget about doing dailies? It's so hard to play 8 games? If you say it for the time of calling players to the arena... this is not a problem of the PvP modes but a server problem.

 

yes it's hard if u play mage/ranger bc u don't have any healing

'win x fight'
in 8 ppl u have almost 100% chance to get dwarf/tank and u don't have any chance to win vs them when they run away all the fight and waiting for end of time where u don't have any chance bc u don't have healing

if u take 'kill x players' u need play team pvp = but u need team? if someone don't have guild and he's new where he can find pt?
he can kill it alone, but how much time he spend on it?

last one is 'play x times'
8x8 is so stupid that when u die, u still need to wait to end of fight, if u're weak u die in 10sec than next 2-3 min what u can do? watch how others are playing? nonsence
and 99% of this fights looking the same = 1mech/tank run away full fight and wait for end of time so if u need play 14 fights x 3min every = 52min to do it = but u need also get fight what takes some times

so before 218 u can do pvp dailys in 10min, now it takes 1-1,5h if u don't have team or u play on low populated servers
and the best is that if u play mage/ranger u have 2x more problems with it than dwarf/tank

 

@KulawyMao I agree with you, rangers and mages don't have the same chances to win a match vs a dwarf/war.
Of course PvP need changes and improvements, but come on, you don't need to win games to do the dailies, you can select play games and finish fast doing duels, now games are cycling every 2 hours.

 

That wasn't the case when Mikey was writing the post you originally quoted.

 

Yes, it was. In fact Mikey was who quoted me and I answered then.
He said some players can't do dailies, in part because of cyling games so I quoted him saying it's not hard to do dailies independently of the games active at the moment you play.
I said this when quoting:

The same as you quoted me:

So, I'll say it again. Of course, PvP is not balanced, some classes don't have same chances to win as others, but to do dailies you don't need to win or kill 10+20+40 players yourself alone. You can also go Swerdfield to kill players faster than in a game.

What you quoted to me has nothing to do with Mikey, but with Kulawy, so I don't really understand why you write that.
This all came for saying to Teleportist that we have 5 modes of PvP, but some players think that a mode every 12 hours is like just having 2 modes, now modes change every 2 hours, but probably they will still complain about that and say they can't do dailies for some other factors.

 

u have right = if u have pt it's easy to do it
but if u are weak how do u think u kill sb on swerdfield? if u die there on 1 shoot? kill low lvl players? no, thanks
even on grimmag which is 1 of 2 most popular server there isn't anybody on this map, if u wait there 30min maybe u meet 1 guy xd than look on agathon where're many less players... xd

this system of pvp is totaly a crap and 8x8 is most unbalanced in dso so we expect changes

 

On Heredur you can do it fast on Swerdfield or in PvP games. If anyone is weak I think it's obvious he will need to take more time to finish it or at least not asking to win by the face a game blaming the class he have instead of improving the char, I understand that in Solo Pvp (duel or 8ffa) the class you have means a lot, but in group PvP is not always that bad having a ranger or a mage.
The point on my posts is: I think saying that dailies can't be done because of the new PvP is exaggerated.

 

Look what just happened at 16:00h!
I almost fell from my chair from laughing.
One obvious fault, but still.

 

Here is my capture, 4 hours ago:



Speaking about PVP, that section in Leaderboards tab doesn't work at all.

Neither those two out of season (Solo & Team), same as Daily (some weird list without you), Weekly (sum before RL 218 for that week) & Hall of Honor

 

Should be block the registration in group on PvP (make team to play pvp together), always the rounds get unbalance, plus will be a heavy exploit on PVP ranks, for example a guild match full 5x5 on capture flag, and only one get all the flags, that means 3900 points, that's impossible to beat, on fair mode.

 

No problems , just waiting 139 wears

 

It is very obvious that the development team do not play Drakensang.
It is also obvious they did not play the team death match before they let this go into any server.
Instead of changing the arena to cope with 4 extra players , we will just go 5 v 5 in the same arena and leave no room to manoeuvre.
The mind boggles on how the developers come up with these ideas and implement them.
The Moderators need to be able to contact the development team so they can realise what a really crap job they are doing.

 

They do play and for sure they have testers that play. But all happens in their office, between them, which is different from the real world. The testers don't farm, they just get the characters already equipped/balanced, and they all want to play.
In the real world, if you remove the 1v1 and force a player to play pvp for his daily, he will join a 5v5 and just sit there, doing nothing, ruining other's game. Or will come to 5v5 with 2h and then, even if he tries to help, will be useless.
The devs do test the game, but on lab rats. And, from what happens to the game, they are not really interested in what the community is saying. Is more like - they know better. The forum is more for us to cool down and blow off some steam, doesn't actually have an influence on the game.

 

Actually has some minimal influence , just like when they "fixed"??? the mind controll of the mage.
But the ego they have is too big to say " we were wrong"

 

Or just an specific class have this influence, and are others who have the ego, not those who try to fix a bug.
