3. Gameplay and Content
Event Exhaustion: Events have become excessively difficult and tiring. Trying to complete them while dealing with technical bugs and lags is frustrating.
Inventory Clutter: The game is full of unnecessary materials. This is an RPG, not a farming simulation; these unnecessary items should be removed to make the experience easier.

==========

Absolutely! The event bar getting longer, especially for level 100, which I think is no fair for those newly lv100, but maybe for end gamer is just too easy

Every times new event kick in, new materials take up inventory space, and so on, sigh.

 

Really DSO.. NVM this doesn't surprise me one bit.. your really starting to show your true greed with this addition.. most of us I would say 80% of all players on all servers have over 1.2-3.1 million damg.. This Soul system just isn't worth the waisted andemants just to have another "PET" when everything is killed with one hit already.. O well enjoy if you can players but I doubt anyone will DSO has turned into the Western side of the gaming companies.. You take what we give you or just leave we will NEVER listen to your ideas of what players want just what makes us money..

 

I do find it surprising for DSO to ask for feedback via the survey form because I have given up on the game. However, just in case feedback are still considered, I gave them a chance.

Here's my summary of my feedback:

1. Provide an avenue for players to earn the mythical or event set from the event itself without needing to pay such high amount of Andermant. Not many would pay 1 million Andermant or over $100 USD for a set. Find a way to allow players to pay with a reasonable price because it's worth it or because they enjoy the game.

2. Stop using long event bars as a deterrent to force players to pay by making it longer each time, but instead, design the game to encourage them to participate in the event itself. Cater for all players. So far, low level players are neglected.

I have more feedback but most of have been mentioned on this forum by others. Let's hope there would be some changes instead of having DSO forcing players to farm Andermant for each new set or pay a ridiculous amount.

 

I can’t even tell what this unit is supposed to be — a pet or a guard — but when it’s active, it interferes with gameplay instead of helping. It constantly pushes the player, pulls you back, interrupts actions, and makes combat worse. When it’s turned off, it does nothing at all.
In group content, this becomes even more frustrating. In a 5-player group, multiple guards/knights are spawning, the tank drops a flag, and suddenly there are 6+ NPCs cluttering the fight. In ranger with wolves, the constant jumping and pushing completely breaks positioning and control.
Instead of adding challenge or strategy, this system feels like another bug that actively ruins gameplay. I honestly regret completing the quest that unlocks it.
I don't know which kids give you the ideas but you need to fire them

 

I found an item called Radiant Stone in the Rocket event, the icon of the item is just pure white(like the image icon doesn't exist). The description of item just says '' The sole light in the endless darkness'' from what i can tell it has nothing to do with event or anything I've ever seen. Does anyone know what it does?

 

The game has become a complete money trap and contains no innovations. They make events difficult to force players to spend money, and there are no attractive events for new, low-level accounts.

 

I am average player and I can do d1 for example at mercy level by just leaving the shadow soul tanking the hits for a while. Just make it invisible so it doesnt interfere with anything!

 

100% agree with what you said there.
The only big greedy smugglers are those guys on the DSO team. They're presented with an event, and you have to buy the rewards you earn. DSO team, you dare to look yourselves in the mirror every day. This is top-notch fraud.
Be a little more creative, give players a fair game. There are other ways to make money. You don't do that by stabbing your own players in the back.
Not only that, but what players need is offered at such a high price that it's completely out of proportion.
Shame on you, DSO team.

 

A thought came to my mind about the last survey in which all or some participated and which is linked to the game events and therefore to the whole game.

Was it a way to see how many players really like this game?
Or to detect how many unhappy players there are?
Or, beyond these two aspects, is it a way for the developers to evaluate whether it is worth continuing to spend time in the game?

I don't know if it's possible, but if they're going to continue to focus on the development of the game, I hope they do it with a propensity that has the intent of entertaining both players who spend money and those who don't.

 

I've been playing the game for over 12 years, I stopped playing it for 2-3 years.
I agree with the new additions, but if it continues like this (hard to collect sets, low drop of materials for new sets, high prices for ingredients.. and so on), I'll stop playing.

 

Hello fellow dracanians,

please have a look at what's coming with the next edition of Chinese New Year Event and leave a feedback these topics:

• Set functions, what you like and what you don't
• Would you like the set for its appearence?

​

​

You can reply below, then I'll forward your opinions.​

 

About the Mage:
I like that they're finally designing other sets that could be a valid alternative to the ice one.
As for the fire one, the set seems interesting, although I wouldn't include the cloak, but rather an other items, so that the Herald's existing cloak could be used.

 

Hy ,
I don't give it because it will be years before I get the set at whatever drop it is and I don't even put money in it. Of all the new items I put in, I haven't won anything by chance, only money, so..... it's not worth it.

 

Skin looks cool i guess, but same items other set uses aswell. Wish other items would get mythics aswell, so you can combine sets/parts of it.

But...not that it matters too much if its not realistic droprate for f2p

 

Every month should have an interesting/big event and for this month is the valentine. In my opinion is not well designed. The rewards are mid. But the difficulty on this event should only be the chance to get the rewards, not also the chance to drop the chocolate. Like the bgh, the books from parallel bosses should be guarentee drop. The January events were very nice and fun. Hopefully, the March events will surprise us again.

 

make a set with ring or belt why all the time helmet torso,cape hands.. you can meake a set with 1 ring 1 belt and arrows ..something diffrend or 2 rings and 1 belt to be 3/3 .so we can have more choices ..now about the events in general they go to pay to have ..and i dont like it.about BGH nice event but very very low drops..and spend a lot aders for entries ..not worth it...the game suppose to have fun when you play,not be came like a zombie..all day front of a screen!

 

I don't understand why there isn't a new weapon with every new set, which has been missing for at least 4 years and I've had mine for 4 years, the best there is, but it doesn't mean it has to always be the same forever and it's been a long time. I've never changed my belt in 14 years and I've been playing with it for 15 years. There has never been an ornament in the new sets, never. You all put pieces from sets, always the same ones, which mix up the game but the power remains the same. You're basically freezing the game and inventing new sets but there is no improvement, only the new jewels give it and that's it and nothing else. Now explain to me why I should go and get that set that is totally useless for a magician?

 

Unfortunately this is the direction that DSO is going.. every new set for the last 2 years has been all cash shop chests and the cost is abundantly high.. 5.99$ and up to 49.99$ for one chest with just a 2% chance that the item you need will even drop now that's just GREED.. just look at the new rune slots it's literally 300$ just to unlock both rune slots or actually log in everyday for 600 days.. and honestly looking at the condition of the game over the last 6 years the only people even doing this is new players that have no idea how good DSO was before this company took over.. In my opinion I say just move onto a better game because at this point there is no reason to even log into DSO anymore..

 

In regards to this set's function, it's totally useless compare to the Dragan and BGH mythical sets. No one will replace those for this set because of the head and cloak parts. Even if you are not using these parts, this set has no chance compare to the Christmas and Rocket sets - so why do you bother make this Chinese New Year set?

DK do not align with smash so it's useless. Rageful swing is no where compare to wild swing with the current mythical boost so that's useless too.

Mage is useful as a support unit but the effect is insignificant to rely upon because the minion is not the main attack, so no one will replace any of the current mythical or Christmas or Rocket set just to boost a minion.

Ranger aligns with players' preferred skills but the stacking makes it's incomparable to the mythical sets so no one will use it.

Dwalf, no one uses iron dwalf as its main skill. At best, people use it to run through turret maps or high mobs but only if the toon is weak. No one will exchange quick shot build and to replace it with the current mythical or Christmas or Rocket set - so it's useless.

At best, this Chinese New Year set is for players who has nothing and it's something they can use while they are building up but once they reach high end game, it will be another set sitting in the inventory.

The costume design is too Chinese and it doesn't fit with a European medieval theme game as DSO is meant to be. In addition, Varnok design was stolen from the Japanese anime and again, this is not compatible to DSO theme, which makes it odd.

Why do you keep rolling out sets to boost damage? With the mythical and Christmas and Rocket, it's already over the roof for an OP character. If the game tends to make characters that kill a boss with one or five hits hit then you will breed boredom and encourage players to leave the game. If you are preparing players for the new cap, 150 or so, players will level up quickly and upgrade the gears so in the end it makes no difference to the current cap but you will create more problem for the game and yourself because it took you several years just to balance the skills with level 100 and you will need to do it over again. It seems to me that you keep doing this because it's making quick money and the thought of designing a balanced game is ignored, which in the long run will essentially kill your own game.
