Release 139 [Feedback]

from the test server ?

 

i can finally get my 1000 gold cape

 

yes

 

looks like they are going to make a mess of it by overcharging for crafting

 

yes that is the biggest fear. messing up the game by overcharging.

@fourtwenty68 the reason i am woried about overcharging is because i remember when i was collecting the 1000 gold for the cloak.
removing COTs is one thing. BP cannot make it easy to get and open legendary because they will loose their value and everybody will have tons of them. On the other hand making it too hard to get people will just give up. not many people can spend 6-8 hrs a day to get that

 

Everything is the same. They said: we are removing COT's because people were forced to grind them in order to ID items.
Well it is the same thing again ... the only difference is now I'll be grinding for a gold instead of this

And instead of 30K COT's I will have 100K gold ... it is fine with me.

 

AHAHAHAHAHA WOW
i am still building characters so i dont have any. i used to open 1 legendary per day for my 45 from q3 farming.
so if it is the same for gold its ok with me.
Ofcourse it will be easier for some players(very strong) and much harder for low level and not so strong players. but i think that is fair.

 

hey guys. look some items from ts. i sure hope the devs know what are they doing...

enjoy

Guys... Guys, guys!.... What I find the most funny thing about DSO and about patch 139 is that most information they will give us, we already get like 1 week before it releases? Loool!
- What do we even need admins for? Got the community to tell everything haha.

This game man, this game.
Overall thanks for the info.

 

^That's a pretty sweet stash of >50k andermant!

-I like that information on R139 was released even before being added to the Test Server. Instead of having individuals try to scrape together new features, an official outline of release info gets more people excited and testing out the changes. This is a great practice, and I hope you continue to pre-release information for the test server.
-Everyone on the live servers (except those on Heredur, sorry) is hoarding legendary items like squirrels in anticipation for the winter hibernation next release and has stirred up some much needed activity.
-I'm very glad that auto currency collection is implemented for everyone. Playing with it makes the gaming experience much more continuous and enjoyable.
-I can't comment on the balance of gold just yet, but I can say that by selling loot, you can get a decent amount of gold, as seen with the old Premium Account. 4-10 G for a parallel world run -- depending on the map and your luck.

-I guess that the purpose of limiting upgraded stats is to prevent OP lower-level characters. However, this also means that end-game players can no longer build up low-level items, but seems like a good trade-off. I wonder if it will affect the level 6 items I've been saving in the unlikely event that I have GoP to spare.

 

Well, the crafting costs are a lot more than I expected. .

I typically get about 5 to 8 extraordinaries per map2 run plus 5 to 8 blues, which i think would come out to about 8 to 14 GPs a run. My guess is that it will take about 10~15 map2 runs to have the gold to craft a legendary, which i think is a better rate for me than it is today with COTs since i can get the gold by hopping from boss to boss.

Right now i think i am up to 16 legendaries stashed across my 2 characters.

 

craft now, open when r139 comes live and after it comes live start farming legendary items and stop crafting

 

non-unique armor items (left side) with offensive stats? Not sure what the developers are thinking... I do like the speed attack on glove lol. Paper cannon time?

 

When does this release go live?

 

That answer is already HERE in this thread

Luck be with ye,

While I'll no longer be able to craft three items to complete daily quests, on paper and from the little bit of time I've spent on the test server, I believe 139 is a positive step but time will tell. I'm very much looking forward to it going live.

 

First off, i didnt know the guys from support were volunteers. I dont have a problem with them, just with the fact that they often cant help much more then anyone on this forum. I d expect support to have more influence and be able to help/do more then you forummoderators. Knowing they are volunteers only makes me feel like they are as limited in their possibilities as you are.
Second,

that s why i stated 2 possibilities and apparently it s the first, so no thnx, i rather dont take over their jobs.

Contacting central BP doesnt sound bad, since customer support is only turning me down. So where can i find more info on contacting central BP?

Now back on-topic... I have one concern: Since it seems like the max stats limits on items have been raised, i expect many legendaries to become way more valuable then any uniques, including their bonuses. So will the stats on uniques and their bonuses be raised as well?

 

@_G_R_A_M_P_S_ you gave two possible scenarios regarding Support:
1) They "suck" at their job or
2) They are Sadists.
The fact is that they are people who generally enjoy helping fellow gamers with their game-related issues. Except when they are abused for their efforts. Much the same as moderators here in the forum in that sense.

And, yes, I committed the sin of consecutive posting. I shall flagellate myself later. But I cannot promise that I won't enjoy it.


Note: this thread is dedicated to providing constructive (negative or positive) feedback for R139. Not for discussing gripes with Support staff or with mods. Keep discussions on topic or they will be deleted.

 

Question is, if they are completely removing COTs from game, how do we Identify Uniques? Or are even Uniques identifieable without COTs or does BP wants us to pay in some other form like anders or golds to identify them? I noticed in the videos that they never made any mention of what to do with uniques.
