Bye All
#28660 - 07/12/07 01:19 PM |
After a few months of play and a level 43 Mage and 11 Fighter I am leaving the game. I think I have been patient waiting for substantive positive change. The reasons I am leaving are the same as I posted as issues early on. Here they are: 1. Cookie cutter monsters...level 1 -43 only slight variations on the starting theme. 2. Cookie cutter dungeons...My they do look the same! They are also non-interactive (no traps or goodies or secret passages). 3. Price per character is too high, especially since you must shut one off to get to another or pay 25% more than average to run 3 at the same time. 4. Still too difficult to get to many of the quest givers once the quest is completed. Too much time wasted killing the same old monsters again to get to the quest giver. 5. Drops are mostly worthless junk that could be eliminated without loss to the game. 6. At level 43 I was struggling with not enough storage space. My mage was also a good fighter but it was hard to keep 2 sets of stuff stored plus what you collect during game. At any rate, I sort of enjoyed playing this game at first it just could not hold my interest in the long run. |

While I don't necessarily disagree with some of your points, I do have some opinions on them: 1) Meh - There's enough variety for me, personally. That being said, new mobs were introduced this last patch and more are coming... 2) Meh - There's ruins, Ice caverns, Caves, Forests, Lava and Shadow Heights. More variety would be nice, but I'm not too concerned 3) It is, that's why they're implementing 3 chars/account in the build at the end of the month. It's been in the works for some time. 4) Agree, I'd be happy if they'd move all quest givers/checkpoints to the base camps or town 5) A filter for which drops you see would be nice. Also, an enhancement to the difficulty settings which dictates the types of drops based on difficulty would be nice. 6) Meh - More storage would be nice, but it's not too unwieldy for members. I'd rather see a separate inventory tab for quest items, personally. More enhancements and content are coming. Keep the game installed, and check back after a patch or two. Have fun, otherwise and good luck. |

Hey read Ripper's linky on his sig. No one really cares if you leave or not (except maybe NC Soft). Just a game. Play and enjoy but if you leave...leave quietly. No need for drama. If you have suggestions send it to the devs. I'm tired of all these 'goodbye world' posts on every game I play (yes, I rarely read them but it is fun every once in a while to see people try to gather attention by leaving...) meh. hehe. -------------------- ~ Adiroch ~ ~ Lvl 3x Ranger ~ ~ World 3 ~ |

I don't know. I feel there are two very distinct kinds of goodbye threads, one of which garners the "meh" response and the other is a genuine farewell. First, you have those who are complaining about the game and leaving because they don't like it. Yeah, that's just silly, in my opinion. As you said, if you have a problem, tell it to the devs and move on. The other is just a way to let your in-game friends know that you aren't falling off the face of the earth. For instance, about the time I hit week 38 of my pregnancy, I logged in and said "Goodbye" to my WoW friends because I knew I wouldn't be able to play once the baby was born. (At least, not until he was big enough to sleep through the night and I could get online after his bedtime.) I don't think that's a bad thing at all. It's just easier to say your goodbyes on a forum than trying to catch everyone online at the same time or spending a week saying the same thing over and over again to people as you catch them. |

well said. I feel the same with the OP, all the stuff he mention I already had experience it, even for a lvl 34. Its simple common sense. What the dev need to add in are more puzzle content where it force a group of player working together and the reward would be really rewarding. -------------------- lvl 101 master of all Mages. lvl 21 robe mage taking down Chieftan video xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnbV5b4qf8k Games I owned & play http://www.xfire.com/profile/kickingasses/ |

If you enjoy it, play it. If you don't enjoy it, don't play it. Rather simple. I think that one thing that so many people forget is that this game still hasn't hit version 1 yet. Maybe they shouldn't have made it available to everyone until it was finished. Or maybe people should wait to cast their final judgements upon the game until it is finished. Problem is patience is not a common trait among people now a days. -------------------- OracleX (74) - Pure Agility Ranger - World 4 Complainers of the World Unite - Thanks to Ripper_McGee |

Oracle the version number is completely arbitrary and I think the devs are in a way making of of the idea of version numbers. This game will never be "complete" with new additions occurring much more often than most other online games. They easily could have made the version number on public release 1.0 or even back in January with the 0.45 version. I completely agree with you on the Quote: -------------------- JoeB - Level 100 - Back to a Fighter where he belongs SirOldBottom - Level 42 - Shadow Merc Mearlin - Level 29 - Mage Dungeon Runners Map Build 0.95 |

Quote: I guess the main reason for way I look at it this way is that the game in essense is far from completion from a normal game release. Normal game releases have content to entertain toons from the min level to the max level. Normal games usually release with nearly all the core functionality of a game ready to go verses the way DR is presently. Normal game releases usually have the core machanics and structure mostly complete where was DR is still trying to figure out what it wants to do with some. Don't get me wrong. I love the game. I think that for where it is it is a very enjoyable game. However I see build 83 being about 83% of the essentails of the game being completed. Although I don't think they are probably even that far considering they only have content for 50% of the level ranges. I hope by the time they work up to 1.00 they will have content for the full level range and the majority of the other core things firgured out. After that it is a matter of adding more content and tweaking things. In the end I see it as this: version less than 1.00 = underconstruction/in development. Version 1.00 and greater = improving and explanding a completed game core. -------------------- OracleX (74) - Pure Agility Ranger - World 4 Complainers of the World Unite - Thanks to Ripper_McGee |

Quote:well thats rather simple common sense which I been doing that since my first membership expired. DR was fun but lack PVP contents. Its again basic common sense to know all about the game at early stage before giving away your money. While you're still stuck with just this game, I had dozen other high end games i been playing, while awaiting for PVP contents to be add for DR. For example.. go here and see the list of game i'm playing. http://www.xfire.com/profile/kickingasses/ Now some video of my current fav game : ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL4dkLlsZqQ btw, you mention about 1.0 core content. I wanted to know what would you expected to see in that future update? -------------------- lvl 101 master of all Mages. lvl 21 robe mage taking down Chieftan video xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnbV5b4qf8k Games I owned & play http://www.xfire.com/profile/kickingasses/ |
