Yes kiddies its back and in Open Beta Testing form. The new characters Dark Knight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THsmhTV_eSg and the Creator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wuAW4ahKEI are up for use.

For those that played the Alpha last year, everything is nearly TOTALLY different. New NPCs, dungeons, skills have been tweaked, etc. etc.

[The Abominable Snowman]

I spent so much money on this game, then my account got hacked.

I still am curious enough to try it out when I get home. I downloaded the client when I got the email last night.

 

[EXPotemkin]

Aw yeah, this is my jam! Hopefully it gets back on Steam as well!

 

[ExMachina]

Subbed. Been playing with 3 of my friends pretty regularly, super fun so far.

Also, I started a GAF guild if you all wanna join and get in on the (eventual) bonus.

The guild name is NeoGAF, just post/PM to let me know your character name and apply in-game.

 

[InvertedComposer]

I am Totoori (Elementalist) in game and I will be your co-leader ( •ω•&#3589

Give us some time to get the bonuses rolling! But most importantly enjoy!
(and please please don't buy gold, Neople asked not to and you can't trade gold anyways)

We're on Cain (East) btw.

and you dont want that

 

[RoryDropkick]

I'm playing right now, just got to level 15 and became a Nen Master. RinaKitty is her name. I can't believe it's finally back.

 

[Astarte]

Play sum DFO everybody!
The level cap is 70 and the FP+nogold did nothing to stop chinese botters, hackers, and goldsellers because the anti-hacking system is so basic that anyone with basic knowledge in C++ can crack it. BUT!!!! Neople has taken strong initiative on stopping the gold sellers by banning them immediately. Hopefully this sticks!

Other than that it's baller as hell

 

[ShinMaruku]

Anybody having issues with the gamepads? I can't use my triggers.

 

[Zurick]

Playing this between Bloodborne frustrations with my DK! Managed to make it to 16 so far. Leveling is quicker than I recall!

 

[insignia16]

Anybody having issues with the gamepads? I can't use my triggers.

Same issue happened to me yesterday evening but I tried again this morning with my arcade stick (PS3/4 HRAP 4 Kai) and I could map all of the buttons including the touchpad no issue.

 

[InvertedComposer]

Leveling is quicker than I recall!

EXP is a lot better now since we are playing on Korean Version I think. Before in Nexon NA, you couldn't even advance with one day worth of fatigue.

I think fatigue wasn't suppose to stop gold botters but rather due to a law in Korea that says games have to "limit" their play time so gamers don't overplay (but you can also argue its for money hoarding purposes since you can pay for more).
I could be wrong though, just a thought. The complaints about the FP system on other forums and in-game megaphones is overwhelming enough.

 

[frozencool]

I used to play DFO all the way from its launch to a few months before its undeserved death. If people are interested, I can try to give a more detailed explanation of what killed the game in the first place, why it coming back is such an event, and how vast the difference between this version and the old version is.

That aside, rediscovering monk is a wonderful experience, especially when you realize none of your old muscle memory is gone. If possible, do play this game with a controller of some kind it makes it much easier to process how it works and you can rebind abilities to fighting game motion commands instead of hotkeys.

Something that really makes this game unique, definitely do use a controller (sadly mine are broken :c).

Here's a guide on how to set it up, remember to run as Administrator!

[Seraph_Nicholas]

Aw, my alpha characters are gone. THere's a LOT of new stuff here - I feel kinda out to sea.

 

[Astarte]

To people on the fence, here's a trailer for the game!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpi6oe6Z-8Q

It's essentially a 2d side scrolling beat em up that's flashy and fun

 

[Pejo]

Man what a week to be out on a work trip. I can't wait to get home to play this and Bloodborne. Subbed to this thread, and I'll try to get in on the GAF guild once I get home and DL the client.

 

[Fou-Lu]

Can I change any settings through the launcher or character select screen? I don't want to watch the opening in a tiny little window.

 

[FreezerGeezer]

Never played this before and only really dabbled in the similar genres.

Looks fantastic though, downloading at the moment,

 

[Arzehn]

Playing, it's pretty fun. More fun if you play with friends.Servers seem pretty packed at the moment.

 

[PreyingShark]

Looking forward to my weekend starting tomorrow evening and finally diving into this.

 

[Permanently A]

I'm playing the shit out of this game for the first time and having loads of fun.

 

[InvertedComposer]

http://dfo-notice.blogspot.kr/2015/03/scheduled-maintenance-mar-26-2015.html

They're fixing that for you as we speak. After patch you can recover your alpha characters on both servers.



EDIT: Ok maybe not, some people reporting that they're still missing characters, but you do get this neat fancy item if you were one of the ones who's class magically changed.

 

[WarRock]

Why did I made a Ranger. I can't grasp this playstyle... going to stick to pure melee (and maybe a glacial master).

 

[Ricerocket]

I just started on this but confused as how gamepad works. Right now only movements work ;/ I guess i'll try and figure it out just having keys on gamepad for dungeons only and hub area something else.

There is no native gamepad/controller support. I'm using a playstation DS4 with Xpadder and have mapped most of the function I need and its working well so far.

If people are interested, I can try to give a more detailed explanation of what killed the game in the first place, why it coming back is such an event, and how vast the difference between this version and the old version is.

Yes please do. I'm particularly interested in a summary of all the differences this version of the game has compared to the old "Nexon era" version. Obviously the town and dungeons look different, but what else has changed?

 

[Primus]

There is no native gamepad/controller support. I'm using a playstation DS4 with Xpadder and have mapped most of the function I need and its working well so far.

I'm prolly going to have to give in and start using Xpadder myself, since DFO doesn't seem to understand the triggers on my wired 360 controller. I need 8 or 9 buttons at the ready now that I've hit 25 on my F.Grappler, and that's just going to increase as I get to the good stuff. (Air Steiner in 5 levels!)

Sent a join request to the guild in-game as well.

 

[tiltnkirby]

Aiming is for chumps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIcqJnYK1W8

 

[Puruzi]

Gonna send a request to Join the gaf guild with two of my characters later

 

[Kouriozan]

Tried Witch the last 2 days (Fatigue depletes so fast T-T) and it's pretty fun!
Also, I kept my Alpha characters after all (Kouriozan Crusader 30 and Kouriolex Elementalist 37) I'll join the GAF guild but not now, as I'm trying other characters. Maybe just my Crusader for now.

 

[WarRock]

Could a veteran elaborate a little about Asura and Weapon Master? Hit lv15 on a Slayer and I'm not sure which advancement to pick.

If you're a starting player you can't go wrong with asura. They're very cheap to maintain and make, but they're also very good in parties thanks to their holds.

 

[Kouriozan]

By the way, is this a feature of the new changes that you can add and remove skills at will? It's pretty great for my Crusader when I solo or to test new builds.

Asura is an extremely solid character in both PvP and PvE; somehow got buffed in this OBT, one of my friends is having a "ball" playing one. But I'm biased since I played and enjoyed one as well. PvP wise for both classes, I think Asura takes cake*

Differences in playstyle however -

Asura:
+Long Ranged(but can be all ranges really), focused on X-axis poking and burst combo
+Quite Tanky due to access to Plate Armor
+Cheap to make since mostly fixed damage, More INT is always better though.
+Solid Crowd Control Kit with freeze, hold, stun, knockback etc.
+/- What's more Badass than being G.S.D? Popular Class
-Mana Intensive Early On
-Casting Animation can be quite long, don't mindlessly spam it and you're fine.

Weapon Master:
+Amazing Combos, Does Great with Very Fast Attack Speed Weapons. Juggle for days
+Access to all weapons, but most importantly the Light Sabre (Fastest Attack Speed) which synchronizes so well "Secret Slayer Technique"
+Huge DeePS, goes past Asura when funded*
+/- Very Popular class, I see these guys everywhere
+/- Simple, I didn't find myself using a lot of skills, but basic attack mashing 90% of time, weapons broke faster because of so but repairing is not a big deal
-Much Harder to play as they are melee especially against super armor
-Requires Gear...seriously.


*Very Subjective, since no Tier Lists for OBT yet
Feel free to correct me though, I sometimes played slayer classes back in Nexon NA and I'm just a F. Mage main now so It's quite possible I forgot something or blundered.

By the way, is this a feature of the new changes that you can add and remove skills at will? It's pretty great for my Crusader when I solo or to test new builds.

Yessir.
Reset at any time, experiment! There's no builds since outdated I think and some classes got hidden buffs/nerfs which I don't remember. But you're probably leveling up so focusing on builds shouldn't really be important so soon.
Also there's a title that gives +400Max MP called "Bottoms Up!" Just hit the reset skill button 5 times until you get it. Really helpful for early-game mana dependent classes.

 

[ExMachina]

Approved everyone who sent me a message and in-game application to the guild! Also, whoever has the character SchierkeFace - we can't add you for 3 days because you recently left another guild.

I guess I'll try sinking some time into my MStriker from the Alpha since I've hit similar levels with my main. The new early game quests/dungeons were an interesting change of pace, but damn if all the Sewer areas had terrible visibility. >.<

 

[KenjiGlove]

That's one of my alts, shouldn't have accepted that random guild invite.

I'm planning on playing all the F.mage classes, How many alts are you guys using?

edit:nvm looks like i can keep name if i delete character, gotta wait until tomorrow though ._.

 

[Primus]

Good lord, dat Ciara. Nothing like dashing straight into her twirling super and eating about a 15-hit combo right as the boss fight starts.

 

[Professor Beef]

I am so confused by Enchanting, but I think I got the gist of it. Apparently I need lots of Cards in order to make anything good.

 

[Nabae]

I remember playing DFO once when Nexon had it, but only because there was some Maple Story event that involved getting to a certain level on DFO. Back then, even the first 10-20 levels seemed grindy, and I assume the botters already did a number on the game because it felt quite empty/dead.

This open beta, on the other hand, has been a really good experience so far. I don't usually play MMOs these days, but there's more players than I would have thought, the combat is way more fun than I remember, and free skill resets is really nice since I know nothing about what skills are useful and it saves me the anxiety of worrying about my skill build being perfect. The one class I really want to main is Knight, but it's not out yet so I'm settling with a F. Nen Fighter for now.

where do you get cards? do they drop from random monsters?

 

[Astarte]

Yes. Don't bother enchanting until around 60+, it's not worth the effort.

 

[Zephyl]

I'm glad to see folks from GAF playing this game. It's pretty fun. I'll join on that GAF guild too.

 

[Puruzi]

That's one of my alts, shouldn't have accepted that random guild invite.

I have 7 classes, Lvl 40 Launcher, Lvl 33 Battlemage, Lvl 32 Witch, Lvl 27 Striker, Lvl 27 Elementalist, Lvl 27 Ranger, and a Lvl 13 Creator.

Back in the Nexon days I basically just played a Bellatix, Desperado, and Wildcat.

Spoiler

I'm so sad that I lost them ;-;

 

[Professor Beef]

Yes. Don't bother enchanting until around 60+, it's not worth the effort.

Yeah, some of these effects are so hilarious at the 1st levels.

 

[MisterHero]

Heaven is real. Now gimme mah chainsaw sword

-Run, run a lot. Learn Hodor if you got some points.
-Cast speed avatars once we get them help out a lot.
-Void has a weak pulling effect, if you combine that with fire pillar you can delay an enemy's advances by a bit as void keeps pulling the launched enemies.
-Party up, more meat walls never hurt.

this is the honest truth. going solo with an elemental is painful
