The equipment of outlaw hunters has been upgraded to make sure they can enforce the law even against the strongest of outlaws.

PLS CHANGE THE NEW UPDATE I LOST ALL MY CLOTH VIBLITY AND STRENGTH

I checked the changelog before logging in... and now I understand your post...

Fame and attribute bonuses are now likewise affected by item wear.
How in the heck is that ^ an improvement, Splitscreen?

My level 20 quality 7 sombrero gives 0/26 armor now because it's worn out 0/131 daily fame bonus, which makes sense but is about greed on your part. You should've made it this way from the beginning!
Many players probably did not renew their items for fame, but now more players will renew their items if they want the attribute bonuses.

 

[Pulp Fiction]

Damn, I still can't edit my posts

Reworked the icons of both recovery kits and teleport matrices.
This is a nice improvement, but now the Warehouse matrix icon looks outdated.
Whoever is in charge of these updates is slightly incompetent.

Attributed degrading like fame on items?

BULL. Do Devs on DS have -ANY FREAKING IDEA- how long even takes to upgrade the attributes on an item? Do you have any idea how worthless the upgrading was in the first place for only a few measly extra points on the specified attribute but NOW you make it so they degrade before higher attributed items even stand a chance of being upgraded again. DS - What were you thinking? I can assure you that I am the biggest monetary English supporter on AM 1 but I will not be wasting my money on such a slap in the face update. If I won't do it, neither will a lot of other people. Get your head on straight, Devs. Your game isn't nearly up to the standards that it should be at this point yet you still keep expecting your members to spend more and more money on your useless ideas. You're going to start losing people, not gaining money, if you keep nonsense like this up. The prospect of a new map isn't nearly worth going through some of the crap that you put us through like this. I have never complained before about changes on DS but, congratulations, you've earned my first complaint with this update.

 

[RED FIRE]

Terrible UPDATE, PLEASE change BY THIS, ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE STRONG WITHOUT NEED TO SPEND MONEY ON THAT, SO WORN ATTRIBUTES FOR TERMS TO RENEW OR HUNTING AGAIN, JA NOT HAVE WAYS TO MUCH MONEY, NOW THIS? PLEASE! PESSIMA withdraw UPDATE THIS ALL ARE CLAIMING OF MY CLAN, ONE TO THINK IN STOP PLAY.

 

[docgreenthumb]

I haven't even logged on yet, and I see this is crap for progress in the game. True you can keep making gear and skins in the triforge, but this is still bad bad "update" Which caters to those who play using money. Bad move splitscreen, bad move..

 

[ForceLine]

I think there is nothing be, fame and attributes, you made a wrong update, missions also take coins, for serving dinodolar? dinodolar only serves to evolve dinosaurs, weapons .., I see nothing to buy with dinodolar, example, booster basic...., there is no way to earn gold coins in the game, that's not right, has nothing to do with fame attributes of clothes, I think they should go back to normal.

 

[ForceLine]

But one thing you are removing all posts that speak evil of the update, this is wrong.

 

[lolchrisgarone]

This is by far the worst update ive even seen in ANY game ive played

 

[ARIDER]

Well if you dont like it dont play it 1 in a million that they will change it, so stop the whining.

 

[Dark_Wolf]

i think they just killed the game. no more gold so you have to buy it now. i did before but im sure im not going to anymore. ill level up my dino's when i feel like it but when im done im going to look for a game that isnt about only money. let me know what you think of this please. yours always Dark_Wolf

 

[Dark_Wolf]

yeah you just killed the game. so only players who can pay for the game can play now and hold a spawn or claim. do you think before you make a update. i already seen players leave. i always bought gold coins but i wont anymore because im not going to give you money anymore if my friends cant play. change it back and maybe ill play on but this was the stupidest update ive ever seen yours always (well maybe not anymore) Dark_Wolf

 

[autobuns]

my entire clothing set, which was worn out fame-wise before the update, is now completely and utterly useless. keep in mind, it was almost all damage/strength and i had a few things that were quality 4/5. that's not only time and dino dollars wasted, but gold coins as well. i can't get gold coins often so this was a huge slap in the face. stop making your game pay-to-win and make it WORK-to-win. it shouldn't be THAT difficult, honestly.

 

[Fat_Mike77]

"If it aint broke, dont fix it" That seems to be a good adage to use in most walks of life. Seems the Mooks that run this game go by the adage "If it aint broke, Break it, then charge the users more for it" Whoever decided this was a good update is an outright Fool. I was not even CLOSE to being a huge money spender in this game. That being said, I did buy some Gold Coins from time to time. Not anymore. I know I wont be the only one. Thanks for the worst update ever. Good job. Pat yourselves on the back.

 

[wyatt25]

i don't like this new update, i have all quality 4 and 6 clothes, they took me a wile to make them because i like only damage attributes. My damage stat total before was 4722, its now 4322, it doesn't seem like alot but im doing about 150 less damage per regular shot with my PM. i hunted for those clothes for around 3 mouths total and now its almost all wasted because eventualy the attributes will run out completely. i would renew them but now that we dont get coins for quests im not able to get coins because im fairly poor and don't have money to spare on this game. Quite a few people in my server (AM_1) are not happy with his update either. in my opinion this has not made the game any better if not worse. Me and many others would appreciate if they were altered or taken out completely. Please tell me if you aggre of disagree and why so if this update makes sense i can see why it would help the game become better.

Oh no, I thumbed up the "improvement" of quests giving dino dollars, but I thought it was in addition to quests rewarding gold coins and experience points... so they took away the gold coins?

WOW, such a jerk move!

 

[Pulp Fiction]

Well if you dont like it dont play it 1 in a million that they will change it, so stop the whining.

you must be a "wallet warrior", ARIDER, and/or a GM using your regular account.
No one should support this change, not even players who buy gold coins.

 

[Pulp Fiction]

But one thing you are removing all posts that speak evil of the update, this is wrong.

I think they're moving posts to this one thread (they've merged threads), not removing posts. Also, I originally replied to a thread in General Discussions which was merged with a thread here in Feedback. Feedback is hidden from people not logged in, therefore new players who visit the forum won't see negative feedback

 

[Pulp Fiction]

I wonder what the Deutsches Forum, Foro Español, Forum Français and Town of Languages posters are saying... Google Translate sucks, but I'm curious!

Ha! Me a wallet warror???!!!! No way in heaven for this game dude!

 

[Dark_Wolf]

really hiding posts for new player i dont think thats even legal but ill find out you cant hide negative coments if your expecting people to pay for something everything should be open to read. so they can make a dicisions if they want to spent money on your game Dark_Wolf

 

[Kaishira]

actually, i dont see any hope for this Update ... Either theyre Changing it back, Changing it to get us peaced again, or theyre going to let the game Die and try on another game ... What the Matter is: my friends are leaving, ive counted 4 Yesterday ONLY from my Friends and there coming more and more to leave the game, its difficult to stay, though.

I dont like it, i would have leaved on my own when i wasnt so high up and, of course, if not the others of my friends are staying inside. This Update fucked the Game up ... I've said once : If you want to earn money, you're depented on the Mercy of the Users.
Actualy my Countdown is running, which Date will be the one, the Game's Dying.

 

[john_seamoore]

this update is complete and total crap change it or your going to lose some money because il quit and take my friends with me!

 

[Bronto]

Dino Storm had two long term goals that kept players playing.

1. Sheriff and getting the T-Rex
2. Improvement of your character

This patch killed both of them.

1. No more in game gold coins takes the chance to occupy buildings pretty much away from everyone but people who spend real money, making it pointless for all others to chase Sheriff.
I am aware the charges can be bought off the auction house, but was that not recently reduced in effectiveness by increasing the wait time? Now its so pitifully little offered here that almost nobody cares. Dino dollar are now almost useless once you are done upgrading your items.

2. Using the triforge to create a specific lvl 7 item with the stat you want takes about 1 month of farming (3 lvl 6, 9 lvl 5, 27 lvl 4 and 81 lvl 3 items are needed). Yet, now this item will be worse than a random lvl 3 drop after 1 week? Why should someone do this? Repair is again also only available for real money...why not dino dollar?

The patch violates the unspoken browser game rule that non paying players can trade time for premium currency, which is available in game on a slow rate. These non paying players are an important part of the player base as it is the comparison to them, that makes others spend money on a game.

Now i challenge everyone to give me a reason why i should return to dino storm.

 

[arachyd]

Not only was this the dumbest thing they've ever done (funny I've said similar things but they keep beating their own record) but it is probably illegal. The update to add triforge caused people to use up their coins fast because coin was required to undo what was created. They did not tell anyone this and it was not able to be known until a person had already used their items to create a piece of garbage and then tried to change it back. People bought more coins to keep from losing good quality gear. This high-quality gear became an essential part of leveling up and being able to defend yourself from bullies (another area ds has serious problems). Now after basically requiring people to spend $ on improving their items they have gone and taken away the improvements. Anyone up for a class action lawsuit?

 

[DrMartens]

The Players are stronger! just quit playing for a while.. dont log in game for... maybe 1 or 2 weeks and dislike at FB! let us see who will win! I am a german player and I only play at eu2 and we should be on the same side all over the world! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!!

Dear community,

Our latest update has received lots of attention. Please be assured that we read all your posts and comments, both on Facebook and in our forum. We hear you, and we want to encourage you to keep up the great feedback!

At this point it should be noted that Tuesday's update has seen more positive reactions from low-level and casual players (which is the majority), but at the same time received an overwhelmingly bad response by high-level and heavy users.

We are striving to get the game's balance just right day by day, and we will always try to iron out existing problems in each of our updates. A quick glance at what we are working on right now: We are taking a hard look at values & pricing, will change townhall elections to be much more fair for both low-level and high-level players, and we are preparing a new teleporting feature that will surprise you—all of this in the next updates.

Again, we appreciate your valuable feedback! It has already helped us a lot with improving the game in the past, and it will help us in the future as well. Keep it coming!

Best,
SplitscreenStudios

P.S.: We are aware that some of you got very upset with Tuesday's changes, and we are truly sorry about that — we want the game to be fun for everyone. But no matter how angry you are, please avoid overly explicit and graphic language in your posts and comments. A high number of complaints we received did in fact address the bad language used in some posts. Please make sure that the guilt is on us for bringing a controversial update, and not on you for merely reacting to it

 

[Pulp Fiction]

There's probably something in the Terms and Conditions about them being able to change whatever they want. It's not in English, so I can't read it.

From September 25, 2013 to February 10, 2014 attributes from items were free...
4.5 months later, items must be renewed on a regular (weekly?) basis to be useful in pvp action.

This is why I never bought gold coins... I knew this game would become an expensive pay-to-play-and-win MMORPG regardless of how many players bought gold coins and how much they each bought.

At this point it should be noted that Tuesday's update has seen more positive reactions from low-level and casual players (which is the majority), but at the same time received an overwhelmingly bad response by high-level and heavy users.

Low-level and casual players (which is the majority) had positive reactions? BULL
How often are they going to renew their items to make this update great financially?

Town elections need to be fair. One clan shouldn't dominate Town elections. It's not about fairness between low and high levels... it's about fairness between one clan and other clans + players who want to win elections alone.

No one gives a damn about the teleporting feature. People want NEW & FUN FEATURES, not old & improved features!

I missed this "improvement": Reaching a new ranger level now rewards players with Fame.
It has been a few months since I reached a new ranger level, but what was the reward prior to this "improvement", gold coins? Now the reward is fame?
