    Hello all.
    I am just curious, did drakensang lose many customers or do people just ignore the forum. Long time ago the forum were active from the time where you only had 1 character per account.

    lost a lot of the people that used to engage in talks on here the older members to all the problems they cant seem to be able to fix, the balance in pvp, white screens, cian screens, and for those of us that have been playing a long time they need a new idea to blow our minds and stop us from being bored

    Isnt this also the 3th or 4th time they have changed the skill tree ? I have been on an off, but mostly off.

    AFAIK... the answer is BOTH!
    To answer the first part of Ur 2-parted-question: I see a lot of people treatening to leave the game, and writing that treat on forum, but those posts get deleted as soon as the mods see them! Reason: The forums are hidden advertisement for the game, and as such, any negative posts gets deleted and the poster gets banned! (Usually a month at a time) I also talk w people ingame and on Skype about this, and there is a consensus about how bad the DSOteam is performing and has performed for quite a long time now... (several years if U ask me)

    The complaint I hear the most often is why DSO is using so many resources implementing useless or downright damaging stuff that no1 asks for in the game and then never fixing the bad stuff! (Examples are: sortingbutton, CV, compendium, compare-item-tool. etc...)

    The seccond most often complaint is why DSO keep asking for feedback, and then never use it? (Example of this could be: "Hi! I noticed this and this bug on the new event on the testserver, could U guys pls fix that before U send out the event on the live server?" -The DSOteam havent done this once, unless the bug was in the players favour!)

    And the third most often complaint is that the DSOteam favours DKs in allmost everything they implement, and they NEVER-EVER play the game like we (the players) do! (Examples of this: All the good uniques and sets are for DKs! [-Yes I know the DKs were nerfed a while back, but they are still the only class, who can farm all the Qbosses solo, except Khalys III with a minimum of effort]
    -Yeah! I know: Dwarfs rule the game atm, but they will get nerfed in the near future! ;)

    4thmost complaint is the casinopart of the game! (Examples are: Droprates of uniques, Jesters, Gnobs spheres, crafting of items, etc...)

    And to answer the seccond part: I see a lot of people here on forum writing negative feedback, only to have their posts deleted 5-30 mins later by the mods! These people use a lot of time and effort writing posts (including myself), but have given up, because they know they will recieve a ban and get their posts deleted!
    -Yeah I know! We could blaime the mods, but actually mods are unpayed volenteers, who only gets a monthly symbolic payment in andermant for their hard work! They have no connection or way of communicating with the actual DSOteam or the devs! -They just do as they are told by DSO! -The mods dont even get replies on the feedback they make by the devs or the DSOteam!!!

    The bottomline is this: There is no freedom of speech on the forums! What U read here is NOT the result of people exchanging ideas and thoughts of the game; instead its pure DSOpropaganda! -So yeah! We mostly just ignore the dead forums!

    I used to write guides on the game back when there were no guides, and to speak from my heart in here (I speak 5 languages, so I wrote in other language forums also), but if I want to disguss the game with people, I go to a platform that is not governed by DSO for obvoius reasons! ;)

    I do hope, U get to read this before its deleted and Im banned yet again, but I doubt it ;)

    Cheers!

    1...my bird hit sw with 16k damage critical 1 hit and he did not die ...i asked him he said he got only 8700hp
    2. my bird minimum damage is 17k with royal quiver im hitting op dk 900 blocked critical????????????????? which is insanly wrong or insanly nerfd bird
    3..my armor is 4300 i called my (RANGER)friend to the arena and asked him to shoot me with hunting arrow he hit me with 1800 critical then i increased my armor to 6300 and the damage is still the same 1800 critical i used the buff +500 armor still the damage is 1800 critical ..rangers are nerfed very badly with armor has no effect in protecting rangers vs DKS and rangers without breaking armor and the damage they inflict is also has been nerfed..thats why all rangers are leaving the game and if they still have hope they become inactive..
    for me i will stop my premium and not buying anthing anymore until they fix rangers and give us back our stolen powers...its called LOOSING CUSTOMERS

  6. 1) We do not delete your posts - or anyone else's posts - purely because they are negative/doom-'n'-gloom/critical. We do delete posts which are off-topic rant-a-thons and have got little to do with the thread in which they are posted - particularly in official Feedback threads. And we do delete posts which are simply general bitching about BP/the game/mods. Those are nonconstructive and don't do a thing for anyone.

    2) One language community may not want a particular feature, while another community is really keen for it to be added. Or the design team may think something will be a nifty/useful feature, but it turns out to be a dog - yeah, looking at you, CV system and inventory mess-up button

    3) Not everyone is going to give the same feedback. Some people love a particular event while others hate it. Some demand that this character class gets nerfed and another one boosted, while others disagree. The point of feedback is to get an over-all impression and to find out which particular aspects of the game players would most like to see improved. But there is never any associated guarantee.

    4) See point #3 above. Many DKs quit the game post R155 because they struggled to tank and they struggled with the new skills. Now, most have adapted and the class is viable again. But to claim they are OP'd or somehow advantaged over other classes is utter bollocks. For a DK to solo kill a Fatal boss in a reasonable time, they would have to be a very skilled player with an amazing character which they have spent a lot of time developing. And all classes do that if developed right and run by an experienced player. And with a lot of luck.

    5) Don't want to exchange excess gold for random items from the Jesters: don't. It's that simple. Want event reward items on a progress bar vs random drops: ask for it. Want direct item sales from Gnob vs (un-)lucky spheres: ask for that too. And have a little patience.

    6) Re. deleted posts: see #1 above and also read the Feedback Guide in the Discussion section of the forum. Adhere to it, and your posts won't be deleted. If you were ever on a DSO language team as you often claim, you would know that the rest of your post is a complete fabrication. We do have direct communication channels with the internal team. We don't always side with Big Point - we represent both Big Point and the players. If we feel BP is screwing over the players, we yell loudly about it. I have received feedback from every Weekly Report I have ever submitted - generally in-depth and well considered. And many changes have resulted from the reports. Those reports are made up from ideas/suggestions and concerns/issues from the forum, from tickets and from the moderators.

    If U are to quote me, please quote me correctly! TY!

    1: Lets agree 2 disagree! (If I elaborate on why I know that U are deadwrong, I will get banned for sure!;))

    2: See point 1!

    3: Dude Ur missing my entire point! :) Im just conveing a consensus from people disgussing DSO in multiple external forums, that is NOT restricted by BP nor BPmods! I am NOT saying that I personally agree with all their points!

    4: See point 1!

    5: See point 3!

    6: See point 1 and 3!

    Next release will as I predicted (Yeah Im a DSOmentalist;)) sort out some of those issues! (or make them worse depending of Ur POW=o))
    Just read this link: https://board-en.drakensang.com/threads/july.71699/#post-652220

    Oh and Hacker: Since the open beta 5 years ago its the 3rd time, by my count! =o) (I am taking it, that U are talking about complete workovers, cause the skilltrees have been altered slightly numerous times during those 5 years!)

    Cheers!

    Many players left ... and those who are still present and the new players are mainly poachers and scavengers.
    They only take but not giving information and don't participate in forum talks.

    Hello, everyone...

    I've never posted here; been lurking, learning a lot and improving my game, but I figured I'd spout off a bit.

    I played EDIT I had to quit because I was throwing up in my mouth a little every time I logged into the game. It had, in my opinion, become so bad and so geared to the average pre-teenager it was unplayable. Not to mention expensive. Don't believe me, though. Do your own research. Your mileage may vary.

    I started playing Drakensang about four years ago, when it was still a browser based game. I played about two years and just started again five weeks or so ago. There have been a lot of changes to the game, mostly on the good side. Just being able to identify items for free is one of the best! I used to have to sell off unidentified items simply because I couldn't afford to use them.

    Anyway, Bigpoint is a bit slow to respond to player, um, 'suggestions' but seems to (eventually) get things sorted out. Pushing a release or two each month is a good thing; it shows the developers are trying to keep up and make the game fresh. I am a retired programmer, and we pushed three or four releases per year. And old code does get broken. It happened to me once, and I was fortunate to keep my job.

    Game balance is important, and I agree the Ranger is getting hosed at the moment. This class really deserves a decent room clearing, crowd controll skill. The poison skill is really cool but I have to get up close and personal to use it and, besides, it's a bit slow.

    The Dragonknight seems to be the hardest to play. I've seen these guys in melee and that looked like a lot of work.

    I play a dwarf. This guy just makes me laugh out loud every time I play. I light the sky and bring down the wrath of God with this toon. This character has too much fire power. I toss out a dwark-in-a-box and a mech turret and the melee is over. I only use essenses for major bosses now, and then just the blues.

    Anyway, I'm really not trying to defend Bigpoint, just tossing out a different point of view.

    It's time to get ready for Jarlhofn.

    Release the hounds!.

    Regards,

    ... LooneyTed


    Be kind.

    Yes but that was a year ago ... and I gave my feedback on it before R155 went live.

    To be honest, I'm not at all surprised given all the hate on the forums, regarding the releases and the events. I gotta say that the game was best when it first came out. With every release new problems come these days.

    that is so true and people like me long standing members has something nice to say, but sadly they need to just create the new character the assasin and quit taking away the strength of the current ones
