Topic: Dream World / Lets get real.

Originally posted by Tumalu:

I think the only way to get real is to understand what’s going on. This game is no longer what it used to be. As the developer said, the game is not making as much revenue as it used to – it has become a lower priority compared to the other games. Therefore, you need to lower your standards and expect nothing new to be released.

You cannot rely on the developer to prevent this game from dying – which means you can only rely on yourself. The community isn’t exactly helping either. All of the negativity floating around isn’t exactly helping people stay. The community needs to reach out to new players and give them a reason to keep playing.

Well said. Expecting it to get the same amount of developer attention as a newer game (read: better source of revenue) is unrealistic. As you noted, the developer has made it clear that it’s no longer a top priority, which, frankly, is understandable. That’s how the gaming world usually operates.

Re: negativity — this forum, in particular, has devolved into people desperate for attention and/or people incessantly rehashing the same “the game is dying” routine that we’ve been hearing for about two years now. If it’s so bad, find something else to play.

Looks like the totals are from the prior week, so it didn’t update.

I use chrome. Works good for me. Only problem I find with Firefox is the powerbar goes slower than it does in Chrome.

Thats probably because of a slow comp/ not enough cache given to browser/OS.

I have plenty of computer and plenty of cache and Chrome is noticeably faster with DW than FF is. On slower computers, the difference is even more significant.

Considering the variability of computers, blanket statements are rarely accurate.

Sorry for the delay and late reply. We started the bonus a little later than usual this weekend, but it should have been started already few hours ago. We will probably keep the bonus up for few hours past the even end as well to make up for the difference.

Thanks.

STOP whining and accept that he doesn’t care anymore. Either stop whining about the bonus events. Back in 2k10 we didn’t have bonus event every weekend, and we didn’t whine then!!!

The whining has been constant, pretty much since day one. I’ve never seen people whine so much about a game.

It’s a custom search for the Kong forums. Use Dream World in your search to narrow it down.

Complaining that people aren’t playing for max damage while demanding that everyone focus on Shield before Weaken (which, of course, increases damage) is pretty funny.

Freedom of speech, ever heard of it?

Freedom of speech relates to government suppression or interference. I don’t see a government trying to influence your speech here.

Well, it would help if you were smart enough to write coherent thoughts instead of this stream-of-consciousness nonsense that you incessantly spew.

Topic: Dream World / FW S2 - 298-297

Originally posted by omark96:

Incase of point ties, the faction with lower power wins.

And since I don’t know how much FW power each side has, I can’t tell you if it had been the same outcome or not.

Faction power was 85570/76840 for 298(Alcon)/297(Mu), respectively, so Mu would have won a tie-break.

Oh ok, the memory can’t always be at it’s best. xD Oh well, so then we might see the event start on the 19th. That would indeed be nice :P

That was a Monday, which is interesting.

Originally posted by omark96:

I believe it started on the 21st last year too and since the 21st is on a Friday this year then it just makes even more sense for it to start on the 21st. But, you can always hope it starts sooner. ^^

Started on the 19th last year.

Topic: Dream World / Is the game on It's last leg?

Originally posted by AlbertoV05:

Let me put it another way. DW used to be a can of soup. Now it’s a soup can with flies in it. The contents of the can that is enjoyable (the soup)… is long gone. An empty can takes many years to rot away. So…if you still call a soup can a “can of soup”…then I can see your difficulty in understanding my previous post.

Originally posted by weezyfosheezy:

doesnt really answer my question. Nice deflection though

It’s the same clickfest it’s always been. Gameplay hasn’t changed much at all, so if your idea of “enjoyable” is spending thousands of dollars to be competitive – and that’s your only definition, it would seem – you should probably get out more.

Topic: Dream World / 100B AI Damage S2...well no we way off topic now

Originally posted by Whiteiswong:

ty guys and yeah I know eventually 1T will be the goal, but yeah no time soon being S2.

Half your guild is 90+, you could probably do 1t now if you wanted to focus on it and people were actually playing. Not much reason to, however.

Topic: Dream World / Is the game on It's last leg?

This forum is in no way indicative of the activity level within the game. If you want to see how many people are still playing, review the invasion rolls each week or look at the offensive fame or faction war activity of the top 20+ guilds.

The playing level may certainly be down – a normal occurrence in a nearly three-year-old game, all other considerations aside – but it’s certainly not as dead as some people in this forum would like everyone to believe.

But then, they’re like politicians. Their rhetoric and reality are unacquainted with one another.

The key difference is…you don’t have to spend money. All the people who spent money feel betrayed. They left. Leaving only those who feel the world owes them something. Naturally…those people are posion and will kill any venture they are associated with.

I’m still here, so your statement is invalid.

So, your hyperbole is fine, but Aval’s isn’t?

I think you meant hypocrisy. I can understand the confusion.

All of them left? Every single one?

Don’t look now, but you just did what you’ve been complaining incessantly at Avalokitesvara about – stating an absolute that isn’t accurate.

Not everyone who spent money on this game left. Not even remotely close.

Free stuff killed it. Paying customers left when their investment was marginalized….leaving only those who need DW Welfare. Why update for those who you’ve already given everything?

Yea the death of DW was Dec. 2010 when we got free stuff did you all miss it?

Crystal poisoning. Takes two years to kill you, I guess.

maybe that’s where we separate. When I go to work, hang out with friends they are all hard working. I dont actually know anyone who wasnt willing and happy to work for what they have, and most ppl I see go well above and beyond their current station. I’ve never met someone actually lazy

That’s because most people aren’t lazy. The “everyone is lazy” generalization is nonsense, usually propagated by companies who want an excuse to continue to screw their employees or push an agenda or by people covering up their own inadequacies, often self-esteem issues. It’s easy to be smug if you think everyone else is lazy.

It’s also pushed by politicians and media talking heads who wouldn’t know hard work if it hit them with a shovel.
