Is it maybe possible to add some items to season shop? Stuff like steam cores, items/costumes that dont really seem to drop but allot of people want to custimise their toons and maybe even equipment like anni weapon that some people just don't seem to drop even after years of trying.

 

The issue of disconnection it keeps happening and it happen to me today and i lost 2 tickets of BGH ..i think you not fix with the quick maintenance..PLS FIX IT !! its very bad to loose tickets like that!

 

Need a way to workbench the anniversary and the big game hunt set items.

It's extremely disheartening, when despite over dozens of runs, you keep getting nothing in return.

 

I know that feeling, just keep finger crossed!

 

You're not the only one, and if you put in money you rarely get it back.

 

*Hey in bgh some tickets are wasted due to the well known nebula error on the maps. This is so annoying. I hope there will be some codes for extra entrance tickets for blazing inferno to make up for this situation.
*In ancient ruins, the new floor system is interesting but monster hp's get crazy at some point and we don't get rewarded enough for that challenges imo.

 

True, some have lost their ticket because of those problems.
But, more than having more tickets, I hope for more fixes.

 

I would like to give some feedback on the following:

The Ancestral event is so much harder (bosses have higher resistance, armour and HP) and with time constraints and yet it’s the same reward bars. Each PW bloodshed boss forced us to use 600% damage essence to kill the boss in time and the boss can generally one shot our characters, except for a DK (90% HP lost). Can you give me one good reason why this is necessary?

DSO general game design has already excluded many players. That is, beginners and mid players need to be carried to get anything useful or to do their daily. If they don’t have a team to carry them then they simply cannot play and playing from normal to infernal gives them peanut drops, which is a waste of time. Now, to make things worse, you have adjusted the Ancestral event to exclude end game players too. Without the 600% essence, they cannot do it in 8 minutes. Players are only allowed to buy 600% twice in a year and it’s expensive too. Again, what is the point of doing this and yet we are getting the same rewards as before?

I would suggest that you scale down the difficulty and at least allow us to use 300% damage essence instead to kill those bosses with a longer time limit for pw bloodshed runs. The bosses should not one shot us, giving players a chance to survive with hits. More importantly, give us better rewards for the effort and investment of resources. Rewards most players look for are mythical sets that improve defence and maintain high damage or parts to craft the Summer rune (as we can only get 1 per year, not counting the season coins) and the Autumn rune.

 

You may Disagree like most will probably also.. but I look at the drops this way.. If we all could get everything we farmed for in just 25-100 runs then what would be the point of even playing DSO if we knew we would get the item in just under 100 runs.. I enjoy not knowing when I will get a item that's the entire joy and point to DSO.. I don't care if it takes 1 day or 4 years.. Just take DSO for the way it is.. It's perfectly fine sure it takes a million times or so to get what you want but that's the pure fun of it..

 

As you have said Dravin, you are probably the only one. My challenge for DSO is do you think this game is winning people over?

A quick google search shows there are only 100-200 active players per day from all servers, based on Steam statistics. With Client, perhaps a few more. DSO would have the exact statistics and I am certain that the numbers are low for an MMO. As a player, I don’t see many players, less than 20 players, especially when there’s no event. A low profile MMO is about one to two thousand players and it doesn’t seem like DSO is reaching that number. My challenge is, if DSO is doing well then why are the numbers so low?

Players attract players, that’s the formula for MMOs to survive. So, DSO needs to review playability and players’ satisfaction as you have promised at the beginning of the year to make DSO smooth and enjoyable. I can testify that many players I used to play with have stopped or left the game. Do you want to continue this trend or make it better and more playable for the majority?

 

The issue of playability related to various technical problems and other reasons has been mentioned several times.
Personally, I don't know how he still manages to stand up with so few players.

 

Honestly I don't care about numbers I play solo only.. nor do I care about another players experience.. I have no technical problems with the game nor it's mechanics I run a smooth 54ms 99% of the time, I have no lag and play with what DSO has to offer.. also the game is 15 years old and from Germany so by no means will it ever have 1000-2000 players after 15 years no matter what they did to improve it.. but for me as a BETA player the game has ran it's course.. It doesn't matter to me if it went down tomorrow or 5 years from now it's still going to be the same DSO it has been for the last 15 years.. You ether enjoy it for what it has become or you don't and move on..

 

Who knows, maybe even devs themselves think the same thing.

 

the drop rate of Silver Pebbles should be increased appropriately to the increased length of Full Moon

 

I hope they do!
I'd like to see the same thing done about the smugglers event!

 

Further feedback:

1. BGH – I can testify that the drop rate has increased so thank you. The event bars however need to be changed. Firstly, add more group passes in the event bar (instead of just one) because doing it as a group to get the BGH mythical set is what this event is about. So, players need the group infernal passes. The event attire should give us a chance to drop the group infernal pass – progress is not important in this event. The x50 buff should have 25 minutes instead of 15 because in a group it takes time to arrange things and wait for players – not to mention, the regular lag in the game stops players from entering the map. There is no incentive to run the solo map, except for the progress – I suggest the solo map should again drop the group in infernal pass as a reward to run it. Players do not need so many express boss entries because by farming the mythical set, we will eventually complete the event. Replace the rewards with something useful, like Anders, elixir of eternal life, dragon bones or arcane dragon essence.

2. I have been playing from the beta version and through to Dark Legacy but has never found the Jewel of the Ingredient Hunter and also the Sargon shadow amulet – the drop rate is so low that many players made a post and even ask if they exist or do it drop at all. The Jewel of the ingredient hunter encourages players to farm for boss parts so I don’t know why DSO made it so hard to obtain it when your intention is to want players to farm more. Can you please increase the drop rate and make it more feasible for players, especially those who are veteran players.

3. Lastly, DSO needs to have a variety of sets so players can have different types of building. E.g. At the moment, mage can only build ice because all the mythical sets favours ice. In fact, for all the 4 types of characters, all the builds are the same and it’s linear. I.e., mythical set, anniversary weapon, Sargon amulet, immortal set, etc. All the other sets and unique DSO have created are considered rubbish and are mainly used to exchange into gold coins. What is the point of having so many other sets and they are useless?

 

I like these tips.
Speaking of the sargon shadow amulet, if the drop rate is very low, won't it be because it's very powerful?
Or is it not?

 

the Ingredients Jewel I believe is one of DSO's top 5 money makers.. is prob why the drop % is so low it's most likely 1% so you get tired of farming it and just buy it like most players eventually do.. it was recently on sale for 15$ with 10,000 andermants just a few weeks ago.. but I'm in the US so it may be different here.. but you can get one from the Summer Solstice event coming up in a few days from one of the Solar Coin chests but it's also RNG % chance.. Good Luck

 

I gave feedback about the annoying RNG of sentinals that spawn in prep of summer event for years in a row and its still the same crap. Every year I'm stuck trying to find the cyclops sentinal...but this year I just stopped giving a damn.
