Announcement Ask the CMs in English

They said in the last twitch that we had suggested the two values of offense and defense be dsiplayed, but they decided it would be a bad idea because more numbers would clutter the screen. So let me understand for sure what you just said; you would rather there be one useless number on the screen as opposed to two useful ones? Really? And you didn't want to change matari frags to a currency, because it would....be another number on the screen and it was too much.

How bout you get rid of all that clutter and have one "hover over" in the upper left hand corner that shows all the currencies including matari frags with a seperation bar that has useful info like Offensive and Defensive CV. Or, for that matter, why is it on the screen at all? Why is not in the character sheet? Add OCV and DCV to the character sheet where it belonged in the first place.

 

For the first time ever I like your post even if you dont like me and dont know me at all.

 

I got easy fix for the Combat Value "tool" and "item comprasion tool" Please gives us option to turn them off.
Quick and easy fix will work 100% for sure lol

 

Angry Maggots, Furious Maggots, who said designers don't have a sense of humor?

 

Another whining session of mine. Those over sensitive please scroll ahead.

Such a waste, and frustration, watching your twitch session.

Dear BP, could you please replace Greg by someone with a little bit more of a common sense? WTH is he talking about?

He has been asked about reseting the Boss maps, and he is talking about ocean of bones. Who in the world would farm ocean of bones (unless for ongoing quests)? The question is about bosses. Do you realize that the boss fight requires completely (often) different setup comparing to a dungeon run? Do you realize that the chances of getting unique items are miserable, and together with your broken randomizer (will not tell you why as you will not understand anyway but if you want to do some reading, google Bernoulli), and requirement to run through the junk maps getting those uniques is impossible. Not even saying you stolen 1500 mortis entrances from me.

And on spaghetti. Have you spend at least a second thinking before you talk? Have you thought that prohibiting costumers getting their favorite pasta will force them to change a restaurant, not a pasta. Or the requirement to eat 2 pounds of onion rings before you can order your favorite pasta. You know what the consumer would tell you?.. Or you, Haruki, you really think we are so dumb never to try carbonara? I did try all you offered. Junk. Eat it yourself and give me back my fettuccine.

If you want the user to run other maps, make them better, and not prohibit what they like. If you don't make them better, but require them running through the junk, it will not end good for the game. If you want the consumer eat your alfredo, make it real good, add some specials, make a combo, but do not ever prohibit fettuccine. Think about it, or read Jean-Jacques Rousseau's 'Emile or on education', if you don't trust me, trust some of the brightest minds.

No comments on the lifekeeper. There is just one problem. You, Greg, do not get it. As you said some time ago, you didn't like math that much.

And what would you do the bug abusers? Or, you are going to wait until every abuser gets all new uniques and then you will disable it making it impossible for fair players? Like with the low legs, even worse.

They will not make it fair. And I have finally figured it out - there is just one reason - they do not understand the problem, the do not get it. Edit: you do not need to insult to make your points higher. Thanks.

 

So i understand we will have to use stones to craft the teir 2 and 3 ammons gear. No problem i like this idea.

What I dislike is that we were mislead. You said the tier 2 and 3 Ammon's would craft similar to the Warlord set. The Warlord set requires 4 similar items to obtain next tier. Anyone that has purchased a duplicate item to get better Tier 1 stats has wasted fragments. You would think this would be a safe action since you need 4 to get the next Tier, but nope, not the case. I personaly have 8 Ammon's items in my inventory 5 of which are duplicates. I don't know what to say other that "C'mon man"

------EDIT--------
Additional information below; thanks for the clarification gents.

 

As consumers we were lead to believe that the new Ammon's set TheUntouchables would be crafted to higher level in the same way "... just like the Warlord set during the Dragan event..."

We have just discovered that there will be a different way of upgrading the set pieces to higher tiers. As Bigpapa stated above, this is great, but players should not have been mislead so badly to believe this was the only way to upgrade the new gears. Our passion and support for the game (including financial) became the drive behind the desire to speed up our achievements and new gear upgrades. We went into a lot of effort farming those materi frags. Now, all went pear shape, because all those long hours we have spent on farming meteri frags instantly went to waste with the purchases of the new gear parts, not to mention the large number Ammon's goggles bought to aid this purpose. CM Haruki's exact words were that this new set's pieces will be crafted the same way as Warlord's set, 4 low tier items combined into one of a higher level.

Not cool..... not at all

 

why do they power-up cloaked wrath and not starlight ??? now starlight isn't better than an extra 1h staff :/ seriously why SW always have the worst items in game ? (only exception was 3k gold staff)

they add 20,00% more rage points on cloaked wrath, so add 50% more damage on starlight to have a good item pls

I don't have a RA in my ts account so i can't tell anything about predator.

 

You should visit TS more often XD
All you need to know is there ...

 

Unfortunatelly, I don't have a decent TS account as for a very long time I could not run the game in the browser due to having some serious Jawa issues on my previous PC, that is for one. For two, TS server is a Test server and no more than that, we cannot go by what's on it. I trusted the official info on Twitch and exact words of the CMs.

[EDIT]

 

I've actually played the test server, and this is what I've seen.

Tier 1----> Tier 2 requires 3 like Tier 1 items and one Tier 2 crafting stone, available from the frag merchant for 4000. You do not save any frags to over crafting 4 pieces unless you are talking about the offhand item.

Tier 2----> Tier 3 requires 2 like tier 2 items and one Tier 3 crafting stone, available from the frag merchant for 50K. That means that total, you will need 6 tier 1 items (24,000), 2 of the tier 2 stones (8,000), and 1 of the tier 3 stones (50,000) for a grand total of 62,000 per tier 3 item (VS 64k if you had to craft exactly like the warlord set.

So, you can quit complaining because you will need those extra items in the crafting of your second tier 2 item on your way to tier 3. And if you bought 7-16 in anticipation of the system that hadn't even made it's debut on the test server so that people could begin to break down it's mechanics, then that if your own fault. Also, I'd have thought you had learned your lesson about trusting anyone from BigPoint that much, CM or not. Need I remind you of the constant game breaking bugs, the promised fragment conversion, the uber belt from the premium merchant, the Lifekeeper nerf... need I go on? NEVER trust anything until it is on the live server, and even then, maintain a healthy skepticism.

P.S. You will also need a "Spirit core" to craft the tier 3 item which is a drop that can only be gotten in the "Fatal" difficulty, so you best get farming for that as soon as R159 comes out. I'm sure the drop rate will suck.

 

Old DSO was awsome, new DSO not so awsome.

 

Right, I get it. Thanks for bringing some light onto it. And no, I have not bought more than 6 pieces (luckily, even though I had enough for more)

The only thing is that your calculations are inaccurate: "Tier 2----> Tier 3 requires 2 like tier 2 items and one Tier 3 crafting stone, available from the frag merchant for 50K. That means that total, you will need 6 tier 1 items (24,000) should be 30k not 24k, as it's 5k a piece instead of 4k stated by you, 2 of the tier 2 stones (8,000), and 1 of the tier 3 stones (50,000) for a grand total of 62,000 per tier 3 item correction: 38k (2 tier ll items) + 50K = 88k (VS 64k if you had to craft exactly like the warlord set. correction: VS 80k (4x20k)"

But again, thank you for clearing the concern.

 

My bad, I don't remember where I got the 4k per item, probably one of the early iterations of the new PWs on the test server. I haven't even looked at the items since R158 went live as I have no intention of buying anything for several months... That is what I get for typing while I'm half asleep.

 

And now for something completely different...

Could there be a way for a player to turn *decimal commas* into decimal points? Eg, 71,13% ---> 71.13%?

I apologize for my ethnocentricity beforehand.

EDIT: Also, in the character stat window, from Armor to Resistance: since percentage is what counts (it's what's mentioned in threads), is the points number still necessary?

 

You can hate me all you want but here is the trouth whether you like it or not.

PvP is so broken if you are a ranged class like Mage or a Ranger couse of all the stun, freeze, -30% to -40% slowdown and so on ... I'am a DK and have no-way to fight that back 'couse of all the long skill cooldown's and almost no debuff at times so BP did a fine job to turn a DK into a "punching bag" that can't fight back and as for the ranged class they have so much better skill and almost non-stop debuff. I want to know what where the dev's thinking when they decided to remove debuff for jump for DK's, why does a ranger have to have a slowdown skill in PvP and explosive arrow with 2x 199.8% base damage and no cooldown with armor brake on it? You did so much wrong to DK's it is very hard to play PvP as one nowdays so here is what you should consider to do:

*Add debuff on jump for DK's and 10s cooldown as every other class have.
*Reduce Dragon Hide cooldown to 30s 'couse we are melee class and should not have a long cooldown on this skill couse it's so important for DK's nowdays and as it is now, couse of super long cooldown we are a punching bag in arena ... You did so much wrong to us, you better belive that is true.
Note, Dragon Hide sometime don't remove negative effect on 2-3-5, full skill active btw.

I'am a quiet person, kind but all of your bad choices made me angry couse its imposible to play, I can not enjoy playing PvP .. say why dont you try it for your self and you'll see am telling the trouth here, you should correct your wrong to DK, it is only fer you do so.

 

@MasterOfpuppet: I can see your point bro and you know what except for some end-game SM players with decent dmg & armo, it's not quite easy for the majority of SM to enjoy PVP after some of the aforesaid features which u guys have pointed out above.
- u know, SM cant heal without trading the ability to use turrets & turrets have no crit at all bro
- It's quite obvious that without crit in almost our skills, it's really hard for us to do Mortis with green or blue like other classes, like Dragon Knight, without using many pots & essences!
- It's worst when u meet end-game RA with 1 hit EA or SM & 200% mighty wing + crit
- Overall, u should be happy with your DK bro cuz there're others who are so noob than u

 

Seriously, I don't get what some of you guys want, I'm gonna speak from the POV of a character that the majority of you described as "noob" several times, regarding stats, gems and items in general.

I play a Spellweaver and I'm not even full-polished lol, the only remarkable thing I have with me is a full Dragan set, rest are just random legendaries I put together and made them work somehow. I admit, at some point with a brand new Dragan set I joined the crew of the 2H wizard noob on the arena, then I realized the same thing BigPapa said some pages ago, the dead deal no damage. So I found myself putting my mind to work into a set of items and talents that would work better, and I'm more than happy with the results, I'm still weak in comparison to pretty much everyone in the flags, but I still manage to hold my ground against all classes at some point, and there's always a toon from each class that, even with all this effort, mops the floor with me in two hits, DK, RA, SW and SM equally.

Do you guys realize it depends on the build and equipment?, yes, it is somewhat broken, but you either adapt until they balance it or die, that's it. I've survived two straight hits of a RA explosive arrow and I don't have more than 6k HP, even marked lol, cornered a DK with life-keeper until someone else comes and helps me finish him off?, check, cornered a SM with their lovely double tactical turret combo, tesla immunity and steam conductor healing until the same scenario repeats itself?, check, survived a barrage of fireballs from a 2H SW noob like I used to be, check. And just for the record, I play PvP out of boredom, and just casually, and it's still loads of fun for me even if I die a lot, I still cause a lot of trouble lol, I have retrieved flags where some RA and DK couldn't, I've stolen flags myself surviving all the way without lots of support. And no, I don't use behemot nor mobile fortress at all, I use freaking mana crystal, how 'bout that?.

Say what you want, as people have said over and over here, you gotta exploit the rest of the classes weaknesses as best as you can, but you try to beat a DK with Life-Keeper with fireballs and singularity when both deal mediocre DOT with high tic rate, lol, what do you expect the results to be?, come on; out of the wizards I see in the arena, 80% are using 2H, and you expect to survive an explosive arrow from any average ranger?, LOL, be real, accept and embrace your class' weaknesses and figure them out, balance them how you can, the problem is that you're selfish enough to ask for you to still be able to kill in 2 hits but not be killed in the same 2 hits.

In 1v1, the story might be a bit different though, I hated that format since the twinks bashed me when I was on low levels, thing is, I certainly wouldn't be able to kill some of the SM or DK that I had found in 5v5, but they're like 20% from all the people I've seen, the rest of them would be a somewhat balanced match based, sometimes, on pure skill, and I'm a freaking noob, who's not been playing here for as long as some of you have, what's wrong?, all I lack in equipment, gems and experience, I tried my best to make up for it with BRAIN, and guess what?, IT'S WORKING.

My words of advice for all the people crying here are these: GET GOOD!

I gotta point out that my intention is not to sound cocky, I'm aware of all I lack compared to some of you, knowledge, experience, gear, gems, and so on, but appears to me that, in the middle of your eternal discussion about who's OP, who needs to be nerfed and all that, you forgot this is a game, and you're supposed to be enjoying it, and I do, even with all that I still lack, think about it...

P.S. @trakilaki I'm in love with your attitude problem :3, no sarcasm here.
