Announcement Ask the CMs in English

Hehehe snopsis said that he will delete all acc... but 3 days ago i got 2 times gold pot jackpot...1st 3.3k 2nd 2.8k hahaha.... and yesterday got 1k drakens as well...i will gamble all back while i wait for 50% discount hahaha

 

To the CMs:

Lately I've been running Atlantis Above Water for the 1000 gold cloak quest. Prior to the latest release, the Gorgon Contaminator and her two Zorlobb Priest's Watch would drop gold and, typically, 1-3 items. Now, they drop the coin and one item, normally green, occasionally blue. I've run through AAW very day on two different characters and not since the upgrade have I seen more than one item drop.

Can you confirm with whoever it is that controls drops that this is correct? I mean, I know Medusa's drops are pitiful but these didn't used to be this bad.

TIA

 

I kinda feel that the more time pass the more game is becoming boring to me, seem like a very low player base. Best DSO was 2 years ago, there was so many players, you could play anything at any time, now I need anywhere from 10 min to 30 min to find a team that actually wants to play same map or I don't find it at all and I just go offline. Yeah, it gets that bad on Grimmag server, I'll try to change the server and start over but I doubt that will solve the issue. Maybe BP should listen more what players need, instead of ignoring it, look where it got them. I'll even make a bald claim, In 1 year, this game is totally dead the way it's going.

When will the real gnob shows up?It has been too long..

 

Ok. Will do.

PS: Should this thread be moderated by CM's only? Just a thought ..

 

Indeed ... one must give credit when its due.
You are not any random mage ... you are The Mage with the poorest knowledge in this game.
Hats off to you!

 

Dear Haruki It's a joke? On the golden share is required 500 fragments! May 4 shares which is required not less than 500 fragments for progress !! 2500 fragments to pass all of them ... this is where to take them? You have to offer round the clock farming fragments or put on the monthly salary bill and buy passes

 

Hey there community of awesomeness,

Quick message to let you know that tomorrow I'll put my shinny armor on and start answering all your questions, messages, complaints, salutations. Thanks for your patience!

Regards,
Haruki

 

Your events requiring Realm Fragments are increasing. The drop rate/quantity is not. When is this going to be addressed?

When is the useless gambling troll of trolls going to offer his items for direct purchase? It was already released on the Test server at one point, just flip the switch already on the live servers.

 

~ 450 Realm Fragments for Stellar Gold
~ 200 Realm Fragments for Defeat the Undefeatables
~ 150-200 Realm Fragments for Desert of Essences
~120 Realm Fragments for Full Moon
~120 Realm Fragments for New Moon
~1000-1100 Realm Fragments to complete the events this month (not counting the full moon that will come right at the begining of the next "month" and the Defend evernt at the end of the last "month")... Troneck has a point. Without an increase to drop rates, this is unsustainable. Even someone who had a bunch banked will run dry soon. Even your bean counters should be able to tell you that this is bad for buisness. What will happen is that people won't play the events that don't help their toons and then you lose out on potential income from those events.

Seriously... this NEEDS an answer. It has been six and a half weeks and so far you (the DSO Team) haven't done crap with Gnob except piss people off with unfulfilled promises of "regular" sales and random garbage that screwed over unwitting people who thought that your dev's PRNG might actually be fair. It would be nice to see something more than lip service to this topic.

 

Can we get a bonus code of 10 stellar maps? Feel free to give more than 10 . 50 would be very nice.

 

Hello,

let me reply this
There are players who will spend more and more andermant who can afford it to finish important events. They need this income and noone cares if you can not progress.

What about Gnob? They could not solve it technically to put in so far or dierct so the players will wait for it 1-2 months so they will probably play this game for more time. This is a very important part. Game gets boring if you get anything quickly. With this trick most players probably stay longer to play this game.
I know you have your arguments but they do follow this strategy.

P.S: I have no problem with this. I just hope they can manage the game successfully and all we need is patient
I try to find entertainment in the game and do what I'd like to do

 

i wait patiently to listen a real explanasion this time about gnob offers...realy? we still wait 2 months now!!!!

 

It will take at least 2 more months. Most of the things they break on purpose take 4 to 5 months to fix.

I'm still waiting for some fix for the error 23. It's been a couple of months since anyone has even attempted to make an excuse for it.

Things like realm frags, gnob, reworking the moon events, adding new and interesting events, all sound good, or any of the failed promises would be nice, but they all require being able to log in and stay logged in.

 

Hey there community of awesomeness,

Ready for some quick CM answers? Let's jump right into it!

Do not let those things leave your head - they may not come back!
+ Realm Fragments: this is something the Community Managers are very adamant about. Almost inflexible, you could say. I know this was promised for a release in the beginning of times and that this is still an issue. The team knows about that. Today I was talking with a colleague and he reassured me that this has not been dropped whatsoever.

As I said, it needs a little bit of extra time because we wanna improve consistently the drop rates across all DSO maps.
I know you are probably tired of reading this but - hold in there!

+ Moon events: another big topic of discussion... Yes, Moon events need a tweak and not necessarily for the items but for the mechanics (I think we all agree). That is also under consideration nowadays and we'll be more than happy to bring you good news when we have them.

Hey there mister,

thanks for those heads-up. Yeah, one of the things we are always asking is what may have caused the Error 23 trigger: was it when changing maps, while being in a particular one, when opening the inventory? So far we got some reports of this happening in Cardhun, yes, but also in other situations so... We need to keep on looking.

I rarely do. Arriba!

Nice hat, Traki.

Hey there Fugnuts,

Your words are being heard and we know all of this is important for you guys.
We are passing on the feedback and insisting in further resolutions. It takes time, I know. And it's frustrating.

As for Gnob, yes, there are still plans to bring back exclusive goods as "sales" (specially the Dragonache and Darkness sets) without the need of purchasing Lucky Spheres. We have no news about when this will finally come though.

Hey there mister,

I did not skip it - I probably said that I was looking into it. Here we go!
+ Emilia weapons: well, the Spellweaver weapon has a higher prize since it's just that main weapon while the quiver is a little bit reduced in price because you still need to purchase or obtain another matching bow. The design team thinks it's a reasonable price for that particular item but if there is a wide clamor across communities, we will certainly put a revision to that. So far, it seems that the pricing for those weapons is rather okeish for players. I am sorry if you do not feel it is. ^^
+ Locker issue: yeah, that was a bug that was swapping the tabs of the locker like there is no tomorrow - certainly not working as intended. I do understand it was rather frustrating though...

As I said, working on getting a definitive answer from the team with an indication of time.
I know is super frustrating but please bear with us and keep those Draken for those sales.

------------------

Ok, jumping in tomorrow to answer the remaining posts until the very last page.
As always, if there is something that remains unanswered, do not hesitate to let me know. ^^

Regards,
Haruki

 

That's if you completely forego the task of getting the pet parts and focus on the progress bar only, last DtU event, I got the 4 different parts after opening 4 golden chests, so, got unvelievably lucky, but it costed me around ~800 RF to achieve, take out extra runs, the other normal chests I opened just for the sake of it and, perhaps it was just ~500. I'll recalculate during this one if the pet is interesting.

We all know is unsustainable, except for the devs, we had a big big rant around the time of the last DtU about the sequence of RF requiring events, they got Haruki to communicate us their empty promises, and yet it seems like they can repeat the situation that demands us a ton of RF but can't fulfill their promise of raising the drop rate at all despite it has been a couple months since then.

 

Haruki, I understand it is not your fault personally, but this record has been broke and repeating itself for a long, long time now.

You said DSO is not trying to drive away customers, but the constant failed promises and the epic bugs sure seem to be having that effect.

 

Well, if this takes so long, why not do a quick and dirty workaround and reduce the event entrance fees by, let's say, 50% instead?

 

This was dated December 4, 2015. It has been on your radar now for almost 5 entire months. The time it took me to dig this post up is probably the same amount of time it would take to implement the change.
