  • More balance and variety by fixing bugs is needed

    This is a very thoughtful reply. What you said is so true (although I know there are people out there who want to play Majin just because they look so cute, which is a similar reason to choose human to be SSY). Anyway, I 99% agree with you that new players need to understand the role and the NEED of support characters. It is unfortunate but natural that it is often only after people get used to the game they play that they get interested in playing support classes. Very good point.


    Still, I think it would give more change to new players to keep being interested in playing support characters like Ulti or Gran if the skill can give damage. You also mentioned that those characters may disappoint new players, and the skill being nurfed indeed makes them feel so more than otherwise. No doubt. How can we just expect new players to understand the role and the need of support characters without trying to make them feel less-bored? You know that the skill is not a MUST for LV70 Utilmate's build and that it is very likely necessary only for lower level players.


    Originally in KR server (I have no idea about TW), Majins were not damaged at all while they were spinning using the skill, but it was obviously too much, so it was nerfed as they were to be damaged. And I didn't find any harm in this nurf. Can't give any damage at all? Just being a ballet dancer? That's still too much.

  • (IMO) How to properly balance ranked PvP

    There must be no single class which can beat up all the other classes so easily. PvP with respect to variety of classes should be something like rock scissors paper. Furthermore, when you consider PvP is not the only content and we have PvE as well, there is going to be a little of unbalance between classes since classes optimized for PvE as opposed to PvP still has advantages to play. That's a matter of choice (to which contents you put priority). Presumably, DW and Gran are the only classes which have little hope to win against any other classes but themselves.

    I have an ultimate lvl 70 and know enough ultimates lvl 70 to know that they are not only used as alt buffers. People don't always understand a class, and that is ok, as each class require a playstyle and most players are more comfortable with one or two of them.
    If I'm not wrong the Healing was obnoxiously high (well above what it should be), so it was disabled until a proper calculation was set. You keep using "nerf" as a way to refer to Daneos disabling the skill, while it is something merely temporary, there is no need to picture a dramatic end of the class when the information is on Daneo's updates.


    You are welcome!

    Yeah, I remember the healing was much higher than in KR server. While I agree with you that the DW's skill being disabled is temporary and it is not to be thought as nerfed, what I wanted to deliver when I used the terminology was that if the healing from the skill is going to be lowered too much (below what it should be) simply because it was TOO high, it is going to be a problem. I believe a proper calculation to be found soon, as you mentioned.


    As for Ultimates, I completely understand what you mean, and I do understand how the class can be used and played. In reality, however, there are things that we need to consider. Many users have more than one character/class they can play in their account. When their friends are looking for an Ultimate, they can play it for them although it may be neither their main character nor the most enjoyable one to play. A problem arises here. When budokai or dojo war are realized, who is going to want to take the role of Ultimate if it's not their preferred character to play? In order to win the tournament and the war, a player has to spend a lot of time and money for any class to gear it properly or something like that. That is, it should be their main-, not sub-, character which they play for those PvP contents.


    All in all, whether Spinning Attack can give damage or not DOES affect the choice to choose a class for a newbie. That's all I wanted to say. I wasn't talking about LV70 or Kid Buu or anything like that. I have often observed people suggesting not to play Ulti or Gran simply because these classes are hard to nurture for a beginner.


    Thank you.

    Spinning attack meta was nerfed before end of tw and wasn't part of that many ultimate builds afaik. You can farm with an ultimate as kid buu if properly geared, and still some ultimates will go to dungeons. In PvP content like party budokai or dojo wars I think ultimates will still have spots, so I don't think that that one skill isn't going to change it all. Once that's said, the skill will be fixed, but it isn't a priority (for the reasons I stated before).


    DWs skill was disabled because it got a huge bug, it will be fixed as well. But this is a test server, so we should get rid of the nerf,buff, unbalance mentality as of now. OF COURSE there is unbalance because it's not a complete server. Both of these bugs/disabled skills have been mentioned a lot in the forums and are known to the staff and Daneos.


    Thank you for your understanding,

    I see your point (although I don't agree with your thought on Ultimates).


    Btw, can you tell me what kind of a huge bug you were talking about when you mentioned DW's skill Draconic Punishment? DW was the only class who can stand the damage and survive without being healed from Denden in the 'Octopus' dungeon, and it was the skill which made it possible. Without the skill or with it being nerfed, DW's future is gonna be very DARK (pun intended), because that skill is the only reason for playing DW.


    Thank you for you reply anyway!

  • More balance and variety by fixing bugs is needed

    Not many people are 'playing' ULTIMATE Majin Buu but are just using it as a buffer, simply because no damage is given by Spinning Attack, which results in difficulty to farm with the class.


    Similarly, DW players including myself are having a hard time because self-healing from its most important skill 'Draconic Punishment' has been disabled since the second-latest update on 5/21. I guess Daneos made it disabled on purpose, but obviously it has been giving a negative impact to the game very seriously.


    I hope these two bugs, whether intended or not, will get fixed in the near future. Variety is always good for a game.
    Plus, now attack range is invisible and some skill motions are cancelled, and I hope these will also be fixed soon.


    PS: Please bring the server back to us!

  • Launcher Troubleshooting

    Now it's working! It's really fortunate that you got it fixed before it's too late! Great job, Daneos!

  • just bring the launcher back to us

    Thank you very much Tempest for your time and effort to resolve the problem. Unfortunately, however, I already try everything you mentioned, but nothing solved the problem. I am using Windows 10, .Net Framework 4.5, of course, listed DBOG on the white-list in the anti-virus program, sometimes even closed the program, opened the launcher as admin, and reinstalled the game over and over. It was just an endless loop. You suggested us click 'Patch Check' at the left-bottom, but it is not even activated. That is, we cannot even click on it!


    I don't understand why the crews including Daneos are not trying to resolve the problem at a more fundamental level. During the past two weeks since I started playing DBOG, I have spent $400 in this game, and now I am almost leaving again although I am still willing to spend more money to enjoy it. It is ridiculous to think that I could have bought a new desktop with the money. Then, everything would have been happy. I don't know. I am so sad, but like other people already said, I think I have to move on to other games if the issue will not be resolved soon.


    *This is not just a problem for minority. I bet you can see the decreased number of people in game and the decreased amount of money that people donate for this game.
    THIS IS KILLING THE GAME SLOWLY. FACE THE REAL.

  • New launcher

    They say you might be able to make it if you disable the anti-virus program(s) that you are using before opening up the launcher. I hope it works for you although it didn't help in my case.

  • issue of the new launcher

    Dear Daneos,


    Hello, Daneos. Thank you for bringing this awesome game back to us. I used to be a big fan of DBO published in South Korea and realized recently the presence of DBOG. After having played it for about two weeks, there was an update on 5/29, and since then I haven't been able to log in to the game. You may have already been notified this issue from many users here, but I am sincerely requesting you again to provide an official solution for it, or preferably, to give us a link where we can download the new launcher (and updater or anything like that), independently of the entire zip file, so everyone could be happy. It is very obvious that I am not the only one who is struggling with this log-in issue, and you should know that there are hundreds of players who are going crazy in wanting to play the game but can't simply because of the launcher issue, which can be easily resolved by you.


    FYI, I have been doing anything that I can do to fix the problem, which include turning off the anti-virus programs, opening the launcher as the admin, re-installing the game over and over, and so forth. Nothing helped.


    Thank you for your effort into making the game more enjoyable and perfect.


    Sincerely,
    sSMETESs

  • healing from Draconic Punishment still disabled?

    I haven't logged in since the latest update due to the same launcher-finding problem that others have already pointed out. Anyway, I have a quick question for you guys.
    I know that there has been a (presumably intended) bug that no healing comes in from Draconic Punishment (DW's skill).
    And I don't see anything in Daneos' thread about whether the bug has been fixed or not. Anyone know if it has gotten fixed?


    Many thanks.
