#13 Endgame Part 2

I know noone wants to hear that but these things are already there, you can get supplies in auctionhouse for DD and you get drainage speeding with amplifiers.

Wait you get bonus drainage speed with supply gels? Ah, i just read the latest message.

Now that Part 2 has been implemented, we get an idea of how Town Hall will play out in the servers and game overall.

Sheriff's Office holds not much importance at this stage— It is only an achievement, a bonus.

The player's only focus is T-Rex at the moment. We (the active players) can already estimate that by the end of the year, most of the active players in most servers will be with Rex.

After having Rex, there's no more strong objective. The Emporium holds no strong value amongst players in the community because of its lack of items.

Questions—

1. What is the step plan right now for Dev? Are we still in the feedback of Part 2?

2. When can we expect more attractive items at the Emporium?

Some communication about the next steps would be greatly appreciated.

Don't forget that there will be periods where people won't earn much because the clans still don't distribute the fame correctly. Forcing the city council to change its dynamic offices

When 2.1

 

[Highway]

They will always end on saturday 21:00 servertime. It was never on sunday.

 

[VioletRosa]

well, it seems that before for some players the sheriff elections were at least on Sundays between 21:00 - 23:00

maybe because of timezones possibly?

@Highway When part 3 comes, will the amount of bandits spawning to attack gates be based upon how many gates and claims are taken by clans? Also will those bandit attack everyone ( low level players leveling up) or just people with duelist / outlaw.

 

[OrionZG]

great, in ame 2 everyone is now allies and there are no attackers anymore.

I think I'll take a break apparently.

ye it sucks

 

[vansh]

I forgot to renew my cloth before going in combat... then when i renewed it still 0 fame.

That's what the devs wanted now they can just milk you.

 

[OrionZG]

Being able to attack buildings without blue supplies and collect medals from buildings individually I think is very necessary

 

[- Cause -]

it is. Isnt the goal of theese updates to give power to the individual player?

Yes that is why we deployed an hotfix on friday to resolve it. The current period will remain to have that time shift until the new one starts.

isn't it time to talk about part 3 yet?
part 2 doesn't seem to have changed the situation of the servers much, and in some it only increased the alliance that dominates everything

I saw an idea floating around that bandits will be able to attack buildings.

That's a strong disagreement for me, the reason(s) below.

Most people play the game because of the politics and unpredictability of other players— especially in combat.

I am ready to wake up at 4 am to defend my towers against other players.

But I won't do the same if it's against bots. In the long term, this is monotonous and bland.

People will get bored of always being against bots, doing the same move, same combat, in the end, it's too repetitive and players will get demotivated.

While against players it's a completely new thing. There's running, hiding, and trying to escape an enemy through the maze of Green Volcano and other maps, including all the politics that comes with it.

Unless you can introduce some kind of Super AI into the bandits & PvE so that it plays like a human player, now that's another topic.

If you cannot replicate this experience, then simply don't change for the worst one. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That part of the game needs no change. The idea behind said feature is to give an attacker an equal chance as a defender would have.

Let's go back to the idea of "stealing fame from a tower". Let's improve on that. I love this part. If someday I am to be an attacker, this idea already looks attractive to me.

I remember someone suggested, Bandits will be able to kill a player with Skulls— This was already a thing back in the day. I like that this will be brought back.

the game is slowly bleeding to death, idk if thats called broken or not. It's practically dead just not fully dead.

Whatever they are doing, it should be done with more speed relative to their skills. This game is like a plane which is on its way for a crash landing.. if it weren't for old players, then this game would cease to exist because new players (MMORPG enjoyers) really aren't interested because of the nature of quests and the less reward from it. Someone from their team should look up to making minor tweaks on the player development side on a regular basis and the rest should take care of the major updates. Some of the minor tweaks can be increasing the percentage per quest to 5% at least and maybe a bit more gold added to it as well (that's just my idea of reward but I know they can do better) thanks for reading.

I gave a concept idea to rework escort quest into something actually bearable to do while still keeping to the difficulty but I guess it was considered too much work and ignored.

 

[Ulutin]

if it weren't for old players

there is almost no way for dino storm to obtain new players over internet. it was getting new player more or less when it was on facebook & armor games & kongregate & few more browser game sites. since dino storm is no longer on those platforms, that means there will be almost no new users to see this game over internet unless a friend recommends it to another friend. (also don't even mention the game never was released biggest platform steam, even it was green lighted by the steam community)

If they do not work on it the game will completely die and then never gonna come back ever again i guess if that's what the team wants maybe let us know so that we stop wasting our precious time grinding 24/7 so that we achieve something in this game because this game requires you to be a no lifer imo

every mmo requires you to be a no lifer but with most of them you atleast have fun. Ds is game where ur required to play to have fun. This barrier to entry should be removed or heck, keep the grind just make it more fun

Yeah but not if they are just planning to slowly bleed the players for cash and make them waste their time. Like imagine you do all this grind like a no lifer who doesn't have anything better to do with his life then the game just closes the next day.
