    Balance!! .. Above all I would love to see some kind of "REAL" balance brought into this game ( i.e. Why do rangers get to have their "2hand" long bows and still keep their shield/quiver?? DKs and SWs dont have this option. Just for example. I know there are a TON of inequities between the different archetypes)

    I would like to see an increase in our ability to earn gold ... not just spend it. Make it so that regular bosses can drop gold stacks equal to half your lvl. You kill Sigris 50 times you "Should" get at least a couple of stack drops. if your lvl 36, then your stack would be 18 gold. Do the same in pw, but include mini bosses in that and a chance to get 20, 25, 50, 100, 250 gold stack from main boss. Also add gold stacks to shabby chests. When we used cots, cots where used for 1 thing and 1 thing only! Gold is used for too many things, and the players receive too little of it now to keep up with the demand for better gear, let alone everything else. The need for balance to the in game commerce system is a good place to start. IMHO.

    Thanks, Doc.

    Maybe you haven't done the cloak of power or Ammon quests yet..

    I agree there are many games that are worse, and I have played several of them, but DSO shouldn't be using the bad games as their benchmark.

    Just a couple of simple changes would make players incredibly happy...

    There is a very simple rule in business.......

    Happy customers spend money... Unhappy customers go somewhere else...

    Rangers use shortbow with 2 hands too, just because they can't do it another way.
    Buckler is on their back, SW an DKs have a handheld shield/orb.

    The stats on the long bow are one handed stats. The only difference is a higher base dmg(not much) traded for a slower speed compared to the short bow. Stats are not doubled like they are for sw/dk/sm 2 hander. So in other words, RA is the ONLY class without a 2 hand option even though every weapon they have requires 2 hands. Go figure:rolleyes:

    Yea, but they are also the only class that can elect to have the slow high damage option with a shield, or the slow high damage option with an offensive item like a quiver.

    I would like the bugs fixed the lag to be not so bad as it is and for the events to not be Grind fests all the time
    Bring the fun back to Drakensang
    I would like the current issues that are an annoyance to everyone fixed before you move to level 50 because all the developers will do is make more bugs and make the game worse to play then it already is
    I do not play anymore atm because you log in can't play with friends in groups all the Maps are bugged
    Drakensang is a complete joke atm and the developers are doing nothing to fix it

    Dont care if they wear it on their knee cap... Other archetypes dont have the option to keep their off hand and use a higher dmg/slower weapon (i.e. 2H)
    Please see above reply, You get to increase dmg, while keeping crit from quiver. It is an inequity, that is all I was saying and as stated ... there are many inequities between the various archetypes.
    But that is a different post entirely.

    Thanks, Doc.

    I'd like to see a set location for a list of known bugs. That way I would better know if the issue I am encountering is a known bug, something new or something unique to me.

    I'd also like whirled peas. :D

    MORE End Game Maps,like oob map2.and Wilderness maps that drop pink and legends only.for us End Gamers who need gliphs
    we are big boys and girls now we need big TOYS,we dont need whites greens ect.or low level drops,WE R EG USERS!!
    gold drops. a must have!!
    Set crafting price=1 gold for using crafting.
    and to be able to clik the stats u want from one item and craft them to your item so theres no random stats,maybe up the price on that.

    Make it Worthwhile.
    to the victor go the spoils

    Yes! PLEASE publish a bug list - a forum thread would do in a pinch, but a link to a bug list page would be better. Sure, don't publish exploits or security bugs until they have been fixed, but publish all of the other reported bugs, big and small. Bonus points if you allow us to vote on what we consider the "most important" bugs to fix.

    I'll pass on the peas.

    This is the known bugs list. As with all things inter-webs, it was very good at the start. Now it's outdated by a bit. It could be brought up to speed pretty quickly, though, with some mod attention.

    Ideally, whenever a bug is reported in the Technical Support area, or the Master Bugs List thread, it should be investigated and added to the known bugs list, if applicable. BizTart was very good at doing this, but he may not be around now or his time is limited. There has been a lot of progress at squashing some of the worst bugs (positioning bug, etc) so maybe interest in this has declined as well.

    I d like to see frags drop in event maps as well. Between the events, mortis farming and gop farming in m2 (knights only), i dont have much time to farm for frags for the moon events and i can barely keep up.

    Even more i'd like an end to the unfair random drops for event items. Some players getting stuff like the heredur doll with 10 circus maps, others get it after 60+ maps. Some players finish the dragan set in 30 kills, others finish it after 80 kills. Some players kill the red essence boss 25 times and give up, not knowing you have to kill him on average 30 times to get the torso. Some players get lucky and get the torso in 4 kills. Some players go to great lengths to get what they want, spend 50k ander on essences, revives, buffs and stuff and still dont get what they want after 100 kills/rounds/maps or whatever, while others dont spend a dime and get stuff without any effort. For me, i decided not to spend anything on stuff where i dont know if i'll even get it.

    Instead i'd like to see quests to get these items. 4 separate quests: Kill the red essence boss 10 times for boots, 15 times for gloves, 20 times for pauldrons and 35 times for the torso. Each quest being repeatable.
    Kill dragan (hard) 1 time for helmet, 3 times for pauldrons, 5 times for the cloak. Each quest being repeatable.
    Kill heredur 5 times for pet part 1, arachna 10 times for pet part 2, bearach 20 times for pet part 3 and so on. With this, i d have gone through the trouble of farming circus entrances. Kill destructor 2 times for 1 ration. Kill mortis 4 times for 1 ration. Kill khalys (PW) 10 times for 1 ration. Kill 50 knight (minibosses in m2) for 1 ration. Kill kristoff 50 times for 1 ration and so on.

    Same with moon event items, make 1 quest for each unique. Full moon, kill the wolf 10 times for item x. You can choose for what item you take the quest, but you can only take one quest at a time. For example, you have the perfect weapon and helmet already, but a very bad shield. You just take the quest for the shield and hope you get a better one this time.

    Trust me, I have done the cloak of power (working on trying to collect drops in M2 area) and I'm working on Q2 for Ammon quests. I know I have a long way to go.

    I know DSO shouldn't be using bad games as a benchmark, but apparently they are... but I'm no beta tester and I don't have time to complain.

    I might be a business student dropout but I've done enough years in retail to know what works and what doesn't. I'm F2P in Tegan and I did a quick P2P stint in Heredur (got myself a 1-month membership just to finish the Defeat the Undefeatable event in a timely manner with the limited time I play online). BP devs have not done enough to drive me away yet, but at the same time I've only started this game in the first place was the fact my DSO login used to be linked to my Rappelz login until gPotato decided to stop hosting DSO on their site.

    Just because I'm not complaining as hard as the others... don't assume that I'm not complaining either. I just learned not to sweat the small stuff and just get the minimum glory out of the game (log in for daily bonus, do daily quest, farm harder when events are on, avoid PvP content for now). So far haven't complained about that because on average my time for gaming is roughly 15-30 minutes on average and that does the trick for me. My work/family life is busy and crazy as is; I go on to DSO to relax for a short period, not to get more aggravated.
