Important Information About Version 5.5

As many of you now know, Version 5.5 will be coming to DOMO, TODAY. This new patch brings many new features, including an AWESOME arena system (PVP), a cool mailbox system (great for sending gifts), new quests, and lots of new items. This is the biggest DOMO update ever!

Unfortunately with all of this good, comes a little bit of bad. We know that many of you are extremely worried about the "Hunter Balance Change". We have spent a great deal of time reading your posts, talking with the Game Sages, and discussing amongst ourselves about what to do. Though we whole heartedly understand and agree with your concerns, we have decided to push this patch out with the "Hunter Balance Change".

We have decided to do this because we did not want to hold back all the great content from you any longer. We know how long you have all been waiting for some of this content, and we feel you deserve it now.

We have notified Softstar (the developer) of the community's feelings on the issue, and HOPE that they will work with us to resolve the issue in a way that satisfies all parties. We will keep you updated as we know more information.

We simply ask that you bear with us and remain patient as we work to improve the DOMO experience. Your opinions and ideas are extremely important to us, as there would be no DOMO without all of you.

We hope that you will enjoy all that comes in this new patch. There is a lot of great stuff in it, previews of which can be found HERE.

As always, thank you for your continued support and patience as we work to improve the DOMO experience for ALL.

The update was in our hands approximately 2 weeks ago. It takes us approximately one week to test the patch thoroughly, then another week to work with Softstar to fix all the bugs that are found. We are pushing it out as soon as we possibly can. It is not as though we received it a month and a half ago and held it from you. We are patching at the soonest possible time.

>.> pet nerf is in too, people don't like that either. also isn't it pupu pres corpse eggsplotiers taht are the main cause of afk leveling/farming? why not just get rid of them, and leave normal pets alone. cause i'm sure that normal pets would be easier to find the owner sense they require maintanance in order to fight and kill effectively

--Computer dying, pretty much, graphics card won't update so i can play domo/stone age/pi story Sad, so i'm on a hiatus till i can get a new comp-

I can tell you one thing, if theres anyone outside the hiearchy that knows the general trends of updates it's me.

I'm pretty sure you must have held it for some time at least while asking softstar about trying to get this alternate version, when they never did and sent you the NEXT update (foggy forest and peak) you got sick of waiting and pushed both out as one update.

I understand and hey, maybe I'm wrong and something else did happen. I'm willing to give you guys the benefit of the doubt on this one, but you know how it looks >_>

And yeah the whole pet nerf thing seems like burning down the house to get rid of the termites. Why couldn't they have just classified pupu presidents as uncatchable?

seriously, pet muse lives off of the pets being to auto attack almost all the time especially in dungeons with all that agro......(being a pet muse i have a lot against it, but since its going to be done, its going to be done. nothing i can do bout it) although i am wondering y they couldn't just make pupu corpse uncatchable...

The reason there is more in this patch than Gametribes, is because Softstar offered to give us a little more to get us back on a similar release schedule as Gametribe. Like I said. We received the patch on May 15th. it is now May 26th. That is 11 days from receiving to patch. Our original plan was to patch Monday the 25th, but as it was a holiday and our engineering team was not here, we moved it to Tuesday. We tried to make sure there was absolutely no delay.

This I know. You've gone from 3 weeks behind to 2 weeks behind. It's a start I suppose, I'd still rather it be a level playing field though (and of course in the midterm that delay shot up to 6 weeks, kinda freaks people out you know)
