Hello game makers & moderators of DSO.

I challenge you to be honest, but especially to clarify what your intentions are with DSO. To begin with, the Dark Legacy started in early December 2020 at a very unfortunate moment just before the Wintersolstice Event. Where we were promised mountains of gold with the Dark Legacy, after the update we players came across our inventories that looked ... yes, worse than hell! Many have spent days trying to sort things out. The rest of the players have quit DSO which I can well imagine. We felt it was like starting all over again in a new DSO. Most players will have had a lot of effort to be able to play again. We are now less than 2 months further and have built up something again. At least that's what we thought ......... Yesterday we came online and our dmg has been reduced by about 75%! ??

What do you want from us players ???? Could you have contracted a new Coronavirus that affects your brain? Or do you want to quit DSO or do you want us to quit players? Fine, but do not beat around the bush and tell us directly and honestly and do not read the messages and feedback from players if there is no answer. STOP fooling us. I and many other players want an explanation for this. It just doesn't add up, after we built up, killing monsters went pretty well but still with a lot of effort. After this 75% degradation in damage we still have to put in 4 times as much effort but this is simply impossible to do. So I don't know exactly what was attempted to fix it, me and others can tell you it failed.

Another topic is the dropping of wisdom, these just don't add up and these drops are much too low. It's up to you to fix this.

Multitool; Were these put into play to make stupid players make up for themselves? For most players a useless addition to the game, the one before the update was better just farm free herbs and ingredients.

Pet Cage; Also such a stupid and useless development, buying a cage for 3495 others so that a player can melt 1 cap into 1 crescerite and at the same time the cage is also gone. I call that trying to take advantage of your loyal players and it doesn't do you any good.

Surely there are many more issues that are not right, but they are your responsibility. Developers still have enough to fix in DSO to make it look like a game again.

Advice, start by repairing the damage we can do on monsters that were lowered yesterday by about 75% otherwise you will lose your last players in the coming weeks.

I would like to see positive changes or answers that will help us.

Moderators, let's hear it ... you are, after all, the link between the players and the developers. So it is not to your credit to keep yourself in the background. We want clarity !!

Greetings from all remaining players

 

Oh man. I don't think the developers in this game really know what their own intentions are lol. Have you ever looked at their roadmaps under the announcements section? Then look at how many of those ideas 1) made it into the game 2) during the specified timeline. xD

Spoiler

made it into the game = very few; during the specified timeline = virtually none

Also, speaking of stupid purchases - I had a fella in my stream chat today tell me that Teleport Cage pets give you 1 altered creserite regardless of the pet rarity when he tried zapping his extraordinary rarity Jullov pet and received 1 creserite. If it's true, it's a great way to convince me that I'll never buy a Teleport Cage in my entire life.

 

@Sprokkel
I see the same damage on my chars as before r245.

This is true, see my post here Dark Legacy is here!

 

Yeah, empty slogans, empty promises, lack of any critical thinking and game vision.

- Designer lead is doing what he wants not what is good for the game.
- QA is non existent (pretty much purely based on player volunteers).
- Dev team does what designers deliver.
- Team members constantly rotate cause they employ interns that leave shortly after learning that management is a brick wall.

DSO doesnt have a proper team since the great exodus in 2014ish.

 

The values on your character may still be the same but if you have set that you see the damage you do in the fight then we see that our damage has been at least halved but it is more likely that it has been reduced even further. It will be especially Mages who can experience this if they have been paying attention.
The point is that this dmg reduction makes the game nearly impossible for us.

 

That's right @Sprokkel
I'm not as much a wound as a mage as I am before the "repair" ...but the mobs die only a little slower

 

I don't know what's going on but the day before yesterday I had critical hits over 500K, now I'm shooting 18K.
I think this game is full of bugs.
In any case, it is not correct and there is no more fun to be had with DSO

 

Mages got nerfed. As usual, BP's "improvement" patch was thinly veiled attempt to nerf the players and buff mobs again. They didn't increase wisdom drop at all (literally just a tweak in number), but somehow they got time to "fix" some skills - how convenient that this "fix" destroyed the most useful skills that were actually helping the players clear high modes in reasonable time!

I've long hypothesized that the devs spend a lot of their time watching videos of players clearing maps, and then actively countering any efficient solution these players find. So far, every "hotfix" released since the CE proves me right. We DSO players must ask ourselves: are we masochists?

 

Let me put it another way.
I still can't understand that every time after an update and we have to rediscover our chars techniques and when things get better, everything changes.
I'm really not going to spend more money on it if that's what they hope for. On the contrary, because if my mage skills stay that way, I will just stop. It's way too intense now and the current damage I do on monsters varies but is always way too low.
Even with a crit value of 50% -80%.

The developers of DSO are not familiar with showing empathy either.
I will remind them here that there is a global Corona crisis going on, but since that virus has affected DSO developers' brains, they can no longer understand that DSO is for our kind of outlet to get through our Corona time.
So we also take away time in Corona time by them.
And the fact is that players who enjoy their game spend much more time and spend money earlier unlike now and I am no longer able to defeat strong monsters because (a) my Magician skills have changed negatively and (b ) because my damage has been reduced to such an extent that I cannot put down any more sandling in the desert.

In short, I have not been able to play for almost 3 days now because I do not intend to build something up each time and developers will break it down with 1 Fix.

I'm sick of this way of playing, I'm sick of the way DSO employees treat their players.
And like DSO is taunting their loyal players, to get sick of it, but they will not earn a cent extra with it.

There are even threads in which a moderator defends DSO with the words; don't worry because everything will be fine.
It is NOT OK because I can no longer play DSO under these circumstances.

I can give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but DSO owes us an apology for promising huge improvements with DARK LEGACY and now there is nothing but misery their players have to endure.
If a Fix is done then it must be a Fix and not a demotion of my Mage that can no longer do its job.
I like to play DSO under the right circumstances, which are absolutely out of the question right now.
And I will not lend myself to DSO so that they want to use me as a plaything.

We players have given enough feedback and it is up to DSO whether they want to get out of their armchair to really do something about it.

Have a nice day @ll & stay healthy
