Don't Play Dungeon Fighter Online by Nexon

Category: Other Game: Dungeon Fighter Online Posted on Sep 26, 2009 9:17 pm


Like I did with Atlantica Online a while back (I need to go redo that entry some day), I have decided to speak out against Nexon's behavior in localizing the game for North America and Canada. So far it has been one of the worst localizations I have seen to date. If you were thinking about playing it, I recommend you think again. If you decide you don't want to, I will provide a few alternatives you can play if you desire a similar game. NOTHING was changed between Closed Beta and Early Access. No serious bugs were actually created until they implemented these new patches that did apparently nothing but worsen the overall gameplay experience. If the manage to fix a majority of these problems, then its fine but until they do, its complete crap.

1) The Fatigue System

Each day you can only enter about 150 rooms total. When you run out, you can no longer complete stages. All you can do is go PvP at the arena until the reset at 6 AM. This is by far the most restricting system I have ever dealt with. The average stage for low level players can be completed in under 6 minutes and this is almost always 8 or more rooms. This will not last most players more than 3 hours. Because everyone gets only 150 each day, new players can never hope to catch up to old players. The fatigue system specifically prevents them from doing so. The gap has already been established since Early Access Open Beta.

2) 1 Daily Life Token

The other versions of Dungeon Fighter Online all get at least 3 Life Tokens a day. The version run by Nexon in North America normally only gives 1 Life Token each day. Currently a special event is increasing it to 3 assuming you used up all 3 the previous day. You must use up ALL of yours the day before otherwise you won't get any at the reset. If you have even 1 left, when the fatigue resets at 6 AM server time, you will not get life tokens. With the lack of healing items, its near impossible for anyone to reasonably play this game.

3) Lack of Healing Items

For the most part, there is a severe lack of healing items. There are a few repeatable quests that you can spam for healing items assuming you gathered all the items from the stage. Otherwise you won't have access to much healing items. Stages don't provide much healing for players. All healing items are uncommon drops and the fairies from destroyable objects are quite rare. The only way to get healing items is with a bit of gold and Victory Points that can only be obtained in PvP. In my opinion, there is no valid excuse that players must PvP in order to do well in PvE.

4) The Game is PvP Focused

Only a tiny amount of players in any game truly care about PvP. The Nexon that published this version for the US and Canada made this explicitly clear. The game is for PvPers. Healing items are inaccessible without PvP. When fatigue runs out, you can go PvP for rewards still. PvE only exists so that players get stronger at PvP. Drops in PvE tend to be pathetic except for the boss at the end of the stage. That is the only one that even has a reasonable drop rate for a half decent item. Even then, the item dropped tends to be useless for players at the level it is accessible.

5) The EXP Rates Suck

So far, this game is worse than the level of 9Dragons and Perfect World grind. Quests give far too little EXP and there aren't enough quests to go around. Monsters tend to give less than 0.25% exp per kill even when you are in the 10s. Quests gives 10 times that but compared to what you need, it is still very small. On average you will probably have to start repeating a stage 10 times or so in order to level up even once. This will quickly drain your fatigue and you will have to wait until tomorrow. Some players in the 20s are claiming it takes them nearly a week's worth of fatigue to level up.

6) In Game Gold is Worthless

This might be seen as a good thing since gold farmers can't benefit from it, but it harms players more by being worthless. The only thing useful about it is that you can buy jars from the NPCs. That is also the problem. Jars randomly give you an item of a certain type and nearly all the time, its worse than a standard drop. Only on rare occasions does a rare item actually appear from the jars. You can't really spend it on healing items because healing items are obtained primarily through Victory Points in the arena and many players are unwilling to trade the healing item drops they obtained from stages themselves. All I can see this as is a selling point in the item mall. HP potions in the item mall...

7) Avoiding the Problem

Rather than fix the connection issues with the party system, Nexon simply divided the servers into East and West coast or tried to anyways. This is a poor attempt to get players to play with people near them so that they won't have latency issues. If they actually bothered to work on fixing the problem with the game that is causing this problem ,it would be better. Right now, all they are doing is avoiding the problem rather than fixing. At first Nexon surprised everyone by only allowing US and Canada to play, to this moment, they have not fixed it. It has been nearly a month since Closed Beta. I thought the whole point of it was to fix issues like this so where is this fix? Atlantica never took more than 4 days to resolve major connection issues. I'm waiting on you to fix this Nexon. Since the start of Closed Beta, NONE of the big problems were ever fixed.

 

Best Alternative - Lunia

It follows a similar play style, but for the most part is largely different. It is still run by stupid ijji. However, it will still have less of a dependency on item mall items than Nexon which is a good thing. Money also has uses and can be used to make more money unlike Dungeon Fighter Online.

Secondary Alternative - Battle of Destiny (most similar to Dungeon Fighter Online but not the best)

This is nearly a clone except that there are no classes. Characters and stat growth are based on the weapon used. Skills are learned using skill points and that specific weapon type to level up that weapon class.

Another Alternative - Grand Chase

Be careful which version you play, some are far too item mall dependent. Takes forever to get anywhere because you need to upgrade your character through quests in other to be able to play decently. Otherwise your character just plain sucks.

More Alternatives - Ghost X

I haven't played this one. So I dunno but other people seem to think its good.

Barely Related - Dragonica

Its still an arcade style game, but it is quite far away from what Dungeon Fighter Online actually is but it is still better than the crap Nexon has pulled out of its ass at the last moment. Its still more balanced than Dungeon Fighter Online which is amazing.

If you want a good pair of warm UGG boots that you can wear during the cold months for years into the future, but don’t want to spend a fortune then you need cheap uggs. Ugg Matala Sandal are a typically quality sheepskin boot with leather outer and strong rubber soles on the bottom. The Tasmina UGG boot is the center of all sheepskin shoe companies shoe lines for a reason.

 1. the fatigue system the fatigue is their so you can enjoy the other features in the game like pvp and other characters but if you don't want to do that stuff simply turn off the game and go to something else  

2.i daily life token a day  nexon just gave and event giveing you 3 coins a day instead  of one yeah i know thats still not alot but they just announced that on october 8th they will put in the cash shop so you can buy cool stuff for your characters,coins,and even healing pots yea ok you don't want to waste any money on something thats not worth buying you can buy the cash stuff from other players with in game money

3.lack of healing items yeah thats true their is a lack of healing items but you can always buy from other players do quest or even use your own money but if you dont want to do that no worrys your character should be strong enough to do dungeons real easy like my launcher 

4.the game is pvp focused dungeon fighter pvp is the best thing in the game i like the pvp system but just cause i like it doesn't you do but i'm just saying its fun theirs no such thing as bad sportsmanship from what i've played

5.the exp rate actually doesn't suck its pretty average if you want to level fast don't just do the epic quest go back to town and get every quest that has to do with that place that a lot of exp like my priest for example he was level one i had to do the 3rd or 2nd epic quest so i went to town picked all the quest that had to do with that place and went up almost 2 levels when i came out of the dungeon rushing

6.the in game money isn't worthless its actually good some stuff in the game you cant buy from NPC but players are willing to sell the stuff they dont want in their inventory for example strikers,launchers,exorcist,blademasters,battlemages all use weapons that cant be bought from NPC just in case you wanted to know the weapons are boxing gloves,hand canons,scythes,beam

1) there is no way to enjoy the game's features simply because we can't level up. we can't enjoy PvP because we can't get skills fast enough. we can't enjoy PvE because fatigue stops us from doing so. 2) it should either be none at all or restore daily no questions asked. not inbetween. 3) too bad game money isn't worth crap so its going to take a lot of work to make them actually worth it for item mall people to sell. 4) there's also such a thing as good balance. something this game clearly lacks. 5) average isn't spending 5 days to gain a lvl at the 20s just because the game tells you so. thats a terrible grind. 6) you're assuming items have value. for the most part, they don't and rare items are only worth another rare item. game currency has no worth right now because there's nothing to spend it on. those rare weapons will probably mostly be for trade or an unreasonable and insane amount of money.

Sorry about double post

1) The Fatigue System

Reason: 1. To stop gamers from gaining a game addiction,(a little sun does wonders.), 2. So you don't have your mind set on one character to actually think "I like gunner but maybe i should try another class. 3. Realistic, really some even game characters need some rest.

2) 1 Daily Life Token

=.= there's a npc that sells healing items( you know if you looked around.) and there's always a chance to get healing items. This also keeps gamers on the edge of there seat and helps get ready for pvp.

3) Lack of Healing Items
 

Yes cause in real life there always a nearby fairy to heal you right up. and they just updated to 3 coins and they don't players to be overpowered and have a 999 ea. It's all about balance.

4) The Game is PvP Focused
...wow, first time I heard a gamer who complained about having PvP..

5) The EXP Rates Suck
 

Well yeah...reading a book is always an option. and the whole explore the different class and the stop of gaming addiction.

6) In Game Gold is Worthless
 

Life's all about risk buddy.

7) Avoiding the Problem
 

!. What do expect out of F2P game? 2. It's Nexon 3. Good things come to those who wait
 

Sometimes everything isn't just handed to you. It's time learn how to walk.

 

Zanpakutou replied at 1:51 pm Sep 29,2009
2) yeah but you need VICTORY POINTS which is not an option. 3) in MMOs there should be an NPC that sells reasonable healing items. if not there must be some form of strong passive heal. 4) PvP focused games without PvE priority sucks. period. 5) how can you explore any class when you can't even level up? 6) real life stopped using bartering as a primary form of exchange a long time ago. this is the only way DFO is going to have an economy. 7) things shouldn't be handed to us, but they shouldn't be able to get away with garbage.

closed beta had 4x more fatigue and 2x exp on for the duration of it.

It did not have 4x fatigue, it was exactly the same as it is now. I have the Trailblazer title to prove it.

you're assuming that gold has actual value. right now, GOLD HAS NO VALUE. you can't do anything with it other than cure that status effect from losing stages.

I'm not even sure if you've tried to even trade with people then. Rare items can net you 20K up to 100K since there's no balancing patches yet to inflate the originals and deflate green items.

There's reinforcing too.

you WILL need MP pots if you play as mage, no level of MP restore will help you at high lvls.

Wait, you say it takes people a whole week to level in the twenties, yet know stuff at high levels from personal experience? A slayer will run out of MP faster than a mage by the way.

5) the exp rates suck

lol you really should lose your eyesight since you dont even use your common sense. before dfo i played maplestory and mabinogi on and off. and wtf was that? those games were ridiculous. on maple and mab its easy to lvl, IF YOU HAD GOLD/$. dfo is the same thing, except you dont even need to spend gold or $. quests give you alot of exp and even give you weapons and clothes to help you kill faster so you will lvl faster.

6) in game gold is worthless

i think this was the smartest thing ive seen you write in your whole review, and its not even that complicated to figure that out. gold is worthless, because you cant take it with you once you logoff the game. and what else would you use gold for on any other game that is any different from dfo in the 1st place? besides buying stuff from npc or people, and selling it on websites, what else is there?! dam!

7) avoiding the problem

im sure all games have their problems thatre avoided. unless they were getting paid some fast cash, its something that can wait. dfo just came out, why wouldnt it have problems? they couldve done better with beta and when they opened up the game it couldve been so much better. but seriously think about the upcoming patch. and lol@if it only had cash items. still i think they will get on it, just later.

i think its a mistake how just about anybody can write a review for anything, when they dont even have to have the brains or profession in the 1st place. you can take your review down now, because anybody with common sense and that played the game for more than a day will know you lose.

1) the fatigue system

idk about you, but 3-6hrs is plenty enough time for one day on any game. so you basically hate nexon because you cant play for over 6hrs per day? maybe you should start thinking about how childish and irresponsible youre being. it resets every day at 6am. if it was once a week, that would be something to complain about. besides that, i dont see what the problem with it is besides your addiction.

2) 1 daily life token

the game just came out. i would say its still in beta. and im sure you know every day you log on now if you had less than 3 tokens you would have 3. any higher i think it stays the same.

3) lack of healing items

seriously? do you even use your brain when you come up with these? yeah alright. there should be a npc that sells healing potions, because if we had as many potions as we wanted, it would be a breeze to get thru any dungeon right? would you really want to play if it was like that? that would explain tho why you showed no effort in your review whatsoever. so this obviously isnt the game for you.

4) the game is pvp focused

isnt that what all these people who play games complain about? not having pvp. i dont know alot about pvp, but im sure games like halo 3 are more popular than any other game just because they have pvp. when you finish the game, what else can you do with it? pvp. cus its the only thing you cant tell whatll happen when you do it. i guess thats why so many people like pvp and youre just the only one who doesnt.

5) the exp rates suck

lol you really should lose your eyesight since you dont even use your common sense. before dfo i played maplestory and mabinogi on and off. and wtf was that? those games were ridiculous. on maple and mab its easy to lvl, IF YOU HAD GOLD/$. dfo is the same thing, except you dont even need to spend gold or $. quests give you alot of exp and even give you weapons and clothes to help you

yeah full of people who are quitting every day. the PvP system is heavily imbalanced towards very specific subclasses. you might want to take that into consideration. at least in those games i can party and play without problems. i can't do that in dungeon fighter so that's already a severe disadvantage

I dont know what you have against Battle of destiny..i actually like it..good exp from monsters, nice weapons ..here damage is only not so good as you first think it will be..but..for me this game is better then dragonica..beacuse of quests and lot of dungs..dragonica at this point is boring! :p i dont know what fun it is at dragonica to do same dung 1200 times to get lvl enough to get party at diffrent dung:/ ..At BOD you can go somewhere do somthing and it worth something..not like in dragonica or even grand chase (annoying weapon system and exp also sucks  again same dungs must be done dozen of times)..Ghost X you say? i dont know any good side of this game..battle system sucks( i can't see if i hit someone or not) hard to hit mobs beacuse of stupid and annoying camera system..exp also sucks..-.- graf. almost horrible :/..Onnly good games are at korea  Infinity (not from gametribe) and look closer at dragon nest..it can be great :D i hope we can play this games sometime..:D Did you know koreans have almos 6 games like dragonica etc?;/ each seem good and worth checking :p

Zanpakutou replied at 5:49 am Sep 29,2009
i only recommended Lunia, Battle of Destiny, and Dragonica. Battle of Destiny has some major underlying faults, but its by no means as bad as Dungeon Fighter Online. the other 2 i added based on comments posted here since other people seems to think its okay. Infinity atm is limited to Europe sadly.

I agree with sophister except for the healing item part.  Arcade games don't give potions, but Sophister you seem to forget that they give you a steady amount of healing items that you can find throughout the stage.  DFO only gives potions because it lacks the healing fairies.

I agree with sophister. This game, yes I have played DFO and it sucked imo, reminds me of RF Online with no potions. I say that mainly because the two of them are PvP related but atleast in RF Online it was fun and had a soliable reason as to why one needed to PK and PvP.

I reccomend people choose Atlantica Online. For lower end PC's I would go with Grand Chase or NIda. But don't do Nida if you hate grinding.

The Fatigue System: This system been used in all other versions

1 Daily Life Token: Already change due to the recent update

Lack of Healing Items: When you play the classic arcade game, you don't even have any potion with you at the beginning, so get over it

The Game is PvP Focused: Look at the asian, they don't have a problem with it, Instead, they quite enjoy it.

The EXP Rates Suck: "Monsters tend to give less than 0.25% exp per kill even when you are in the 10s" You need about 10s~20s to kill a monster in normal MMO, you need 3~4s too kill a monster in DFO. Why don't you mention about this?

In Game Gold is Worthless: Do you ever reinforce you weapon. I guess not, or else you would put more of you time to complain about how you don't have enough money to reinforce you weapon

 Avoiding the Problem: Lag? this game is Peer to peer when PVP or Party PVE, there is nothing to do with the server. But I have to say Nexon do avoid some other problem

 

 

 

conclusion: I doubt you ever get deeply into this game before you write this "review". Do you sure you are not just go the Nexon forum and "Observe". Then write down this "review" with your "own opinion"?

for the most part, the only difference between open beta and "full release" is the addition of item mall or conversion from F2P to P2P. no game does much else.

1.  "This will not last most players more than 3 hours."

Stop trying to go through every room in the dungeon then. And no one I've heard who played this game has gotten through their entire bar in 3 hours. Even with 2x exp in closed beta, it took me 6.

Number 2 was done with an update recently.

3 is more a personal problem, even with the increased difficulty, this still requires minimal healing unless the player him/herself is not good enough.

4 is pretty opinionated. They have tournaments in Korea for DFO. That alone should tell you this isn't just a Nexon US decision.

5 is true and most people would agree with that.

For 6, Gold is only useless if your class doesn't revolve around percentage damage or equally around fixed and percentage. Even then, you still can buy avatar items through player shops once it comes out.

Last for 7, ITS A BETA. Atlantica is different since its already been through publishers and gotten translated coding and thus, shouldn't have as many problems.

Also US and Canada only isn't a problem, its simple legal limitation.

Also Dragonica? Combos and controls aren't nearly as fluid with some lag between hits, the mobs just stand there waiting to be killed even in droves, and its much more generic in everything from skill variation to enemy patterns.

Its a bad localization so far, but every single alternative is still inferior to DFO.

PERIOD. if its legal, then what about Mexico? Mexico = North America. why can't players from Mexico or territories of the U.S. play? those are for the most part still considered to be part of the U.S

I have to disagree with you.  Dungeon Fighter is one of the most unique and fun games that I've ever played, and I'm not going to deny myself from playing it to make a point to Nexon.

To use all your Stamina takes about 3-4 hours.  Personally I don't have time to sink 4 hours into a game every single day, so to me it's just fine.

The game purposely doesn't want you just using non stop health potions through levels.  It's about learning how to fight and make it through without using a lot.  I play mage characters, and I die very easily, so I have to learn to play very good to get through stages without health potions.  I keep getting better as time goes on and I end up learning to get through the stages without using much for health potions.  Although some dungeons do drop more than others, especially once you get over level 25.

I have no lag problems, so I'm unsure what that's about.

You have to also remember the game is still in beta, and while that's not an excuse for everything, it is an excuse for some things.  It's not just there to be free for us to play while they pay for everything, it is there so one day it can make money.  If we have to pay to get more coins or fatigue, so be it.  Let's wait until it's in official release before we complain too much.  They don't want people to just scoot through the whole game and be done with it before they even are able to make any money off it.

 

Battle of Destiny is a clone of the game, and if you play the two, you totally see how different they really are.  Dungeon Fighter has these tight very responsive controls and is really fun.  Battle of Destiny isn't, it tries to be the same game but fails horribly.  They aren't huge downloads, so I say download them both and try them both for yourself and you will see.

 

I'm going to point out another clone of these game

and if you dont like the fatigue system then go complain to the devs or the team managing the project, not the people that host the game

Agreed with this, if you think about it, there isn't much to do in the game besides PvP, also yes, the fatigue system limits everything as well as the lack of healing potions. Since the only way to get potions is by doing the repeatable  quests and getting victory points, lets say you wanted to do the repeatable quests, you will need to collect the items, but most of these items can only be gotten at the lower level maps, and at a low chance, you'll be spending half you fatigue points doing this. Once you get enough hp pots, you'll barely have enough fatigue to level up.

grand chase might be nice based on the version you play, but the most common one is far too item mall unbalanced.

+ rep for ur topic.I spent 1 night to download DF for nothing.They use local restriction without any annoucement except some words in maintenance note.

I tried 3 games which u suggested. Dragonica is the best but i cant play it anymore because of local restriction and some stupid update.They make skill cooldown longer and do something with the patch to make me lag like hell so i can play only 5 mins each time i login
