About Rosal So lately, like the last 6 months, Rosal has been completely dead. Not as in players online theres always lots of people online. The problem is those players are divided into two very useless groups 74% (easily) are leech noobs at Bonta rats who then stand at 5,-23 after they hit 50 and pvp every day every week. The other 25% are zaap sitting wasting P2P time. There's never anyone running dungeons or starting up hunts. What does that leave the 1% who don't fall into those 2 groups? The ones who try to actually play the game. It leaves us with nothing! All we do is login and attempt to join or start groups and no one ever joins them because they'd rather spend 7.00 a month to sit on one map and talk. Get IMVU maybe the game will stop running due to all the ones of you who waste money on it quitting. That way people who pay to PLAY can find something new after it shuts down. I honestly can't vouch for any other server but Rosal is really in bad shape. It's all I can do to even give the effort anymore. I miss dofus when people actually played it.

Is true that there are´t many hunts or dung recuest as before (like 3 years ago), but there are some reasons that i can see for that:

1. lack of new content, no many new things to see or to do intead of lvl or talk whit your friends.
2. stroken farming. lets face it, you can get exp and strokens that you can change for scrolls or souls (why do an entire dung if you can get the final boss soul).
quote* is this new sistem of pvp...well, im neutral, i have to kill and recolect a ton of resourses to scroll some pints on any characteristic, that takes alot of time, an stroken farmer can scroll a char in a month or less, is this fair??, i dont like pvp, i think that the purpose of the game is get the dragon eggs, aka: dofus.
3. more of the hunts and dung runs are internal guild recluitments now.
4. about rattlers, yes they are ppl that like expend hors, days, months in rats to get exp, hit lvl 100 and then get killed by a kaninger cuz they dont kwow how to play.
5. most of higth lvls have alts (i have 2 ^^)so that reduce the number of ppl that are recluited, sometimes are grups of 2 persons and 4 chars.

Well maybe that 1% should get together sometime? Im on practically the same time you are. Im watching you right now.

Same for me when i was online. And yea that 1% should get together..

It will be get better when 2.0 update, I hope.

In case of me, I'm foreigner, and payment is little bit hard in my country. so I can't subscription.
finally, I must act within limits, so I can't go futher, hunting at dungeons.. and etc.
there are many foreign friends in dofus but payment is hard! I hope that visa payment will be added. it's the easiest way to payment for any foreigner.
maybe it makes many foreign people more active:D

Then send me a party invite and lets run a dungeon when you're around.

I agree....and when there is someone recruiting for a dungeon, they always seem to have very strict requirements....."100+ this and that class with this or that skill set...and this or that equipment.....pm me fast!"

People used to be glad, just to get a warm body with their own key, to join a dungeon run!

Goddamn it, lets make a census thread!
Recruiting Rosalian PvMers !!!
Post name, level, and time normally on.

That'll show em.

I used to do lots of dungeon runs and hunts before the summer, but now i am also sitting in a map whenever i log in, because most people quitted their chars, or they are doing pvp, dopples and so on. Now i do one or two dungeons a week

Underpowered(162 cra), Blue-Tumay(186 eni), Hornymonkey(141 enu)

This isn't a Rosal specific phenomena. Most of the original players who spent countless hours running dungeons and PvM souls over the last four years to breathe life into the Dofus economy have already quit, or are doing so now. There was nothing else for them to do but chat with friends met along the way. Ankama's complete lack of appreciation for their customers drove everyone away. All that is left of the game is an empty shell of what it once was. It has now been two years since any new content has been added and the game is in serious trouble. The servers are dying along with our loyalty. We keep hearing how things will change with the release of 2.0, but nothing will. It will fail. It already has. There is no way it will be ready for release on Dec. 2 as announced. And if Ankama releases it early, full of bugs, the end result will be the same as what we are experiencing now. Players who have paid for the game for years will finally let their subscriptions run out and seek something else. So, they're damned if they do, and they're damned if they don't. The beautiful thing is, as players we all saw it coming. New content was the answer. It's a shame they didn't listen to us. We warned them...

Our guild has been looking for more players and guilds to do pvm content. Maybe we can get a little alliance of guilds that are interested in PvM runs. We are Devil in the Woodpile.

Nonnok is partly right.

You are partly right due to the facts that when the time version 2.0 is released, People won't be able to be there because, They already quit.

Yet, Believe in the users who are still playing. Don't discouraged them of "Oh no! Members are quitting! I'll quit too!" It's making the game bad, Making the users feel bad. Once someone was discouraged and was seen by others, and start bragging about the game falling, It'll spread throughout the game...

i'm one of those 25% eheheh ^^


==> but only cuz of this.... I'm indeed wasting my p2p time by doing nothing and hanging around at bont bank or zaap BUT i would join a dungeon or hunt if there's one... So I dont exactly know if i'm in the 2nd or the 3th group...

It's indeed a big shame of rosal
I think that if there'd be more hunts and dungeon runs the leecher/zaapsitting groups would be less and less

I used to run dungeons a lot, but don't do it now for 2 reasons:

1) I'm on the final stage with my professions project, i.e. I'm collecting mats to level my last profs to 100 and it means I'm on a lot but I only chop, mine and fish. And I'm going to continue this way for another 2-3 weeks.

2) There are too many leechers on Rosal. Teaming up with anyone under lvl 140 is a pain unless it's someone I know for a long time and I'm absolutely sure I can play with this person.

I used to ditch my alts to make room for other people, but not any more. Now it's just not worth it. 90% of random people I meet can't play, annoy me and irritate me with their demands for kamas, leeching, whatever.
So usually I end up doing dungeons with my game partner or some old time friend.

However, I still hope to find more people I would be able to enjoy the game with. And after I'm done with my profs you can drop me a pm and we may go to some dungeon. Approximately 1 month from now.

I would love to do a dungeon with the great Nikto. This goes for anyone however if you've got a dungeon run PM me I'm almost always on.

I've been following the Recruit channel for a few days, and about 80% of it is ratters. Occasionally a dungeon run happens and a little drop hunting.

I'm pretty much a PvMer, with the occasional dungeon run or soul, but I'd be happy to join a Forum Hunt/run with y'all. Shall I bring the Iop(160), Enu(116), or Cra(122)?

OOps, not enough coffee.

Would very much like to get a dungeon group from the forums going. Maybe I should make a thread where people can leave their IGN and such and We can just check with each other anytime we want to run a dungeon.

Sounds like a good plan. My guild is pretty dead since school started, so that would be right up my alley....

My guild is always dead but I love my wife so I stay

I completely agree with everything previously said. As the matter of fact, that WAS the reason, that I quit Dofus 3 months ago, and now, I'm returning just because of 2.0...

If you guys want, I will gladly recruit to that 1%

http://forum.dofus.com/en/the-fountain-squ...ion-t82089.html


Here is the thread I started. Hopefully it picks up.

This describes me to a T, I am working on my professions, and I am starting to just put my foot down and refusing to do dungeon runs with random people. Why? Because The dungeons I tend to get asked to do, if someone does something wrong then the whole run is ruined..and lets take Kimbo for an example.


The last 6 times I went wiht random people I have died. Almost always because someone who had never been, and has been told repeatedly DON"T HIT KIMBO...or DON"T HIT WITH FIRE/AIR DAMAGE does exactly that...killing the entire party. There just seems to be an influx of leeched characters who do not listen to instructions from people who have been to higher end dungeons multiple times and then ruins the entire run for us. I know that not all random people are leeched nubs but it just seems to be getting more and more prevalent. If I see them posting on forums or on Imps (particularly Imps) and they seem to have a good head on their shoulders and a good grasp of the game from their posts I don't mind helping them with dungeon runs..but if its just some random person recruiting on R> then yeah I won't.

Is this elitist? Yes. I try not to be mean, but *shrugs* I just can't be arsed to deal with a dungeon that should be done in less then an hour taking three, or a long dungeon that ends in a death that was totally avoidable.

I feel that. I turn people down for Kimbo I've never found a group with anyone other than myself knowing how it works. Always end up dying.

It's pretty much the same in rushu. Actually, there's another group on rushu, and that's the people that run dungeons with their 8 accounts, but that's not getting anyone into anything either. So yeah, all in all it's basically the same.

The whole point of the game was raising your character and advancing and getting better. Now you're actually getting worse when you're a high level player because you're losing all your advantages. Levels are now merely about tiers, which is pretty much reflected by the current honor system that's totally level-independent, and the new focus on stroken that rends high level PvM useless just reinforces that.

Why would you want to be a high level player now? All it makes is giving you a harder time in PvP, and that's all the game is about now. It's not about achievements anymore, and that's why most people were playing the game.

I just want to login one day and see 5,-23 relatively empty and have people actually playing their characters. People say strokens aren't ruining the game but it's very obvious the impact they're having on every aspect of it.

Stop complaining. People do what they want. Seriously, its a game ._.

just make some money, level up to 200 ( that's the game objective).
Hunt on ur own

I'm a full support panda, I built my character around group play on purpose. Please if you literally have nothing useful to bring into this conversation then don't waste our time by posting. The point of any MMORPG is to make friends and romp dungeons. It's rather hard to level as a Full support character when You don't have a group to support yeah? Sure I could go hunt Koalak foresters alone but there is no entertainment in that if I wanted to grind level I'd just rat myself.

Too bad you guys are on Rosal, otherwise I'd join as soon as possible. Solar is pretty much the same too, a bunch of high levels showing off their level 100 Auras or guild members forming a line and shouting out their guild name... sometimes I stand somewhere in the middle and shout out: I like pie!

Nonetheless, it's actually very boring. If your not a very high level don't expect an invitation to anything. I'm always running around killing stuff from one end to the other, and I don't care if I die, it's FUN!

But seriously, people waste their high levels and P2P on sitting... Like, Oh Em Gee, that's so super awesome! Or they waste their time on super cool - Okay.. you ready for this one? - STROKEN FARMING! YAY!

When I see a name containing the word Stroken... it makes me wanna punch them, in real life!

But yeah, it's sad. I haven't even explored the whole world yet, and people are already quitting. So, yeah... what can we do, right?

well i'm trying hard to wait it out the number of P2P keeps dropping faster than new ones keep joining dofus only has 500 thousand P2P now the rest f2p they seem to think that increasing rewards to PvP will attact more subscribers but who is going to subscribe longer someone building a lot of professions up to 100 or some kid that wants to leech then PvP for awhile. I have said before time will tell the developers are trying to turn Dofus into Dofus arena II and as they do dofus is becoming as popular as dofus arena that is to say not popular. At some point I hope they wake up and realize how messed up they have made the game. Until then I work my professions and run dungeons with a few close friends but the whole fun atmosphere the group spirit of Dofus has changed to everyman for himself go kill another player to get rich and lvl quick and that cannot and will not sustain Dofus for long.On the French forums they complain about how the developers don't listen to them either so we are not alone.

Have every1 you know vote in this thread:

http://forum.dofus.com/en/general-discussi...pvp-t81511.html

and make a similar one on the french forums please(I would but I don't know french and i know how bad google translator can be XD).

Maybe if enough people vote on the matter, ankama will be forced to listen.

Ah I was the first to vote. I've started a Rosalian PvM thread and so far it's doing ok. It allows us to find each other and add the ones in our level range so we can get with each other and start dungeon groups.

HI Alyss-sin, i just add my chars to your thread. in my guild there arent to many active players, mainly cuz most of them are in the school or in college, and we have the rule than the school or college go first, dofus later.

So, i will be happy to join you in any hunt...even if it means do a suicide run....just for fun or know new places, hehehe

IMO if you're going to make a pure-support character, you should have a team to play with most/all the time.

Anyways, I really haven't joined anything with people I don't know for months. I play with only a few people because I trust them and they know exactly what to do. They're also great people. I'm going to go ahead and blame strokens and mutliclient for all of this.

I am used to trainning alone on dopples and solo running dungeons. When a few of my friends are online we go on a daylong hunt in Nolifis. Many of my other friends usually are already busy with a party and you just logged on too late, running six accounts at the same time, hunting for archmonsters, or working on getting kamas. I agree; it would be awesome if the few of us still around to get togeather and do something... Maybe even something epic?

Glad to see you and your guild have your priorities straight. Same rule in my guild, even though it leads to some pretty dead time during the school year. Kudos.

whats up with the 5,-23. pos ive been there and i have never seen people on the map other than merchants, i go there like every hour or two to check it out....nothing is ever there.

There are always players at 5,-23 it's one map outside of astrub where players go to aggress each other.

God damn. You think this could also be a discussion thread too? I just got some info that kwismas island might not be here for christmas. What do you think?
Edit: christmas. I meant christmas.

This post has been edited by Phatballerz: 7 Nov 2009, 05:49

Sylfaen said they wouldn't make it for Xmas, but she promised other holiday event.

Kwismas island was a fun place but personally I can live without it for one year. And it's better for economy, unless the planned event will bring us as many "free" drops as kwismas.

its not going to be kwissmass annymore? that sux very hard

It's true that the servr is pretty "dead" but many of us still do dungeons alot. We just don't use /r due to one simple reason; everyone doesn't have same technique which could doom a team easily.

I usually fill my team with alts, if I need more, I just go through friend list and /g. Many others apart from me do like this aswell, and true that many just leech and zaap sit. But there are still many PvM'ing frequently (sp?).

Would be nice to make some list of people that are willing to group PvM though, always fun to meet new people.

If you're going to make a list of it, them I'm on! ^^
Add me on the list, please, always open to Dungeon runs/Hunts ^o^

This list has already been made. You may add yourself if you like there is a link to it on this thread.
