Suggestion, feedback vol. 2

https://board-en.drakensang.com/threads/thoughts-suggestions-feedback-etc.43425/#post-477995

Hi all,

Im still here. Its been 1,5 years. I've been playing occasionally after they implemented lvl 50.

I see they made new content, which is always welcome. This is great, although there is a lot to improve as usual.

What I still dont understand is all these huge changes. For example totally remaking the skill tree. It was insanity, and it still is. Who is asking for these? I am sure the answer is nobody, at least not the players. You are still developing without actual need. That is worse than doing nothing.

PW remaking is OKish although there are some weird decisions again. Why do you make us go through the whole maps to get to bosses? Everybody loves boss farming, what was wrong about that? Also materi fragments dont have any actual purpose.

As you still have no idea what your customers want, you should bring on the development Polls. That way you could get us, the customers, decide the best way to develop things.

I give you an iron wire example:

Poll
What would you like to see next in game?

1. Lvl 55
2. New event
3. Bring back old boss farm
4. Stellar gold 1/2 rather than 3

Ok time to vote. -> Votes counted
50% of voters wanted old boss farm back.
48% of voters wanted stellar gold fixed
2% wanted New event.
Now you realise its not time to start making a new event. Its simple.

I just noticed some of my suggestions from summer 2014 have been implemented. Latest was combining Winter Solstice gems. Thats nice.
Although nothing has happened to the most important feature, which is collecting data and feedback properly from customers. Potential of this game is still huge, but developers must finally understand they need help from their customers. This should be development priority #1.

--MERGED--

I dont understand why there are no proper quests for us end-game players. There has actually been only a few good quests for us. By good quests I mean setting a long term goal to get specific item.
PW vol 1was much more difficult back then than vol 2 now. I really liked it. Now I didnt even feel like doing any quest when we just bashed a few rounds and jumped into next Qx until it was over after a few days.
Ring of Death quests in HoD were fine. Difficulty was fine and you really had to work to get those. At least when they were introduced.

Best quest by far was Cloak of Power. Grinding through various locations and those feelings of frustration of not getting that "box" were just great. I would very much like to see similar quests in all item forms, not just cloaks. Lvl 50 10k gold cloak which requires 50 drops from every boss would also be fine for me. At least there would be something else to grind for than gold, glyphs and worthless legendaries.We do not have any secured items to grind for. Its not motivating for me to grind q3 for 7m glyphs for each upgrade to weapon with only that in my mind.

Sure there should also be super hard uniques to find. Nothing wrong with that. Though I would like to see also HC quests to develop our characters. And make those MF worth something, they are a joke now.

 

Please use the "edit" button.

Cheers.

 

How about
5. Bring back game on r154

 

I did prefer the pre 154 game, but DKs, especially 2H sword wielders with warlord set or 1H with maxed out 80%-80% block sets, were too overpowered in R154.

Towards the end of the level 45 game, my DK (1H, probably about 63%-63% on block values) was doing things like killing 35 and dying once in 5v5 matches and having matches where I got all 3 flags and the most kills.

Fwiw, I believe a new cloak quest is forthcoming.

 

Oi i am for some ra sw sm dmg 10-15% boost, some nerf time on iron dwarf or things like that but game pve wise was perfect even pvp wasn't that SO bad... i agree on dk op but some thing could get leveled by boosting other not boosting one and nerfing other

Well i cry fro those days

 

So they finally answered to community wishes and brought us a brand new event? Is this what the community wanted, a farming event?

This must have been desired by 99,9% of the playerbase, or else they would not do it right? If so, thanks for your great work, listening, understanding and commitment.

I got these feelings:
Long term plans/objectives do not exist.
There is no development. There is just extra features, and not even good ones.

 

I agree about the skill tree remake having been really confusing at first, but once you get used to it, it is actually very beneficial. You gain greater control on finetuning your skills. Just something to consider. I also think seeing level 55 would be great! Also, there really should be better quests for the level 50 players, I agree.
