Update 9/22



Gold Spammers

We have implemented a new system to help combat the gold spammers. So far it seems to have decentralized them, and made chatting in game much more bearable. We will continue to adapt our strategies to fight these pesky fellows.

Please remember that purchasing gold will get your account banned.


Auction House Exploit

We have fixed the issue with the Auction house, and are now closely monitoring the results. Please let us know via Contact Us


New Patch

The new patch was rescheduled to next week 9/29. This is a tentative date.


Server/Login Issues

Recently we have had reports of players experiencing multiple types of issues logging into the game. We are aware of these problems and have asked SonoV to expedite the fix for these problems.

While I am not sure when a fix will be available, I can say we have made it our top priority.


Faction Change Charms Do not Work

At this time, the faction change charms do not work in game. This is intended, and will not be changed within the foreseeable future.







Update 9/15
The patch with misc. localization has been delayed until further notice.

Original post

Hey everyone. We realize that it has been far too long since we gave you an update on the overall game. So, here it goes!

General Game Issues

Gold Spammers

Currently the game is plagued by annoying and relentless gold spammers. There are two gold selling websites in particular that have been a pain.

Whats being done?

- We have begun to talk to our management about the plague of gold spammers. Over time we have brain stormed a solution that should help alleviate some of the spam during the day. This solution should be implemented soon, and we will monitor and escalate it as necessary.

- This process has taken a long time, but we feel that the solution that has been brought to the table could prove to be highly effective. I can't really mention the details here (because they are reading), but just know, it is being handled.


Game Hacking

There are players in game that have decided to ruin legitimate players game experience, by using outside hack engines in game.

Whats being done?

- We have discussed this issue in detail with SonoV and are currently in the process of creating a system that could track hackers more effectively, and allow us to rid the game of their presence.

Auction House Exploit

- There was a lot of talk about players using the auction house to store items. This, is not an exploit.

Many players however were not just using the AH to store items, but to attempt and create gold. This has been stopped, and the players responsible taken care of. We are monitoring these activities very carefully, and will constantly be creating new reports to ensure exploiting does not occur on a large scale.


Game Bugs and Localization

Bugs

- There are still many issues in DragonSky that are being worked on. We have a new patch (Version 0006) coming next week to address some of the below problems.

These issues include:



  • Player differences during battleground

  • Resetting of battleground winner after server maintenance

  • Players receiving "Incorrect ID or Password" upon first login

  • Players receiving "Cannot connect to server" randomly when attempting to log in

  • Yellow lines occurring during battlegrounds

  • Guilds being able to read other guilds chat



- We are always looking to collect information about new bugs in game, and ask that you provide thorough and accurate information and screen shots to help us fix these issues. You can do so on our Bug Report Forum


Localization

- Currently DragonSky is about 70% localized. In next weeks patch (Version 0006) we will add tons of miscellaneous localization to the game. This will include: Game tips, and other system messages for Red Cliff Battlegrounds and more.

- Our localization team is close to being done with ALL of the quests. So in the future we will release a patch that includes fully localized quests for the game, complete with proper grammar!


Game Expansions/New Content

- There has been a lot of talk lately about when we are going to open up the level 80-100 maps. I can say that we have spoken to SonoV about this, and are waiting for a guide to the new content to be created. Once we read this guide, and familiarize ourselves with the new content, we will begin to release the information.


- We also plan on evaluating the current content of the game, especially around the lower levels. So any feedback regarding what could make the game more fun level 10-25 would be much appreciated!

Final Note

We appreciate many of your concerns about the game, and want you to know that we are doing all we can to enhance your game play experience. This game has come a long way so far, and we look forward to continuing to work directly for you and the community.[b]

Love to hear about new content. I would like to give my feedback. I noticed the amount of quest have slowed down a lot since hitting lvl 40. More quests would be nice if at all possible. I was wondering if we would be getting mounts any time soon. I noticed one of the DS pics has a female warrior riding a dragon, could that be a hint of something to come in the future? I would like to suggest an item it can be IM related or in game relate, IG related would be a better choice, but I would like to see a charm of some sort that would enhance collection skills. Collecting atm can be a pain cause you only receive a max of 3. So in order for me to get enough herbs to make a good amount of pots I need to harvest all day. So something to enhance the amount we get each time we collect would be really nice. Is there a ETA on when the sect houses or sect upgrades will be implemented. The options are there but not active. Overall the game has come along way since CB and I am pleased to be part of it since the beginning.

AP Items

Permanence
+1, it would also also certain ppl who do not have the ability to use Item Mall (due to country restrictions) to wear some cool stuff without completely destroying the economy.

My opinion.
Game is awesome,I also gave up on expensive WoW,and tried about 5 different mmo-s,
this one is best!
but,two things are little anoying:
First and most important,why oh why there arent any attack dmg spells for low lvls.
Its bit boring and hard to play with just buffs and kata attacks,actually it is until u get right equipment.
Secondly,for some reason /secession is not working for me,and no i'm not master and i'm doing it right,at least i think i am..xD

btw....BGM is brutal! xD

Keep the good work...
