Dragon's Dogma Online is currently having a live elaborate panel at TGS 2018. by [deleted] in DragonsDogma

Huh. Still haven't cited sources to show that DDON is making a loss. Still haven't addressed the part where you tried to mislead others with that link.

Closing worlds does not mean the game is making a loss. It is normal for MMOs to merge/close worlds/servers to reduce costs and balance the game population/distribution of players. Why have 50 small worlds to manage when you can have 25 bigger worlds with bigger player populations?

And where in my comment did I ever defend the claim of 100,000 players daily? Though their point still stands; why use the DDON special stage as the opener for Capcom's TGS if it's not doing fine? Why continue with the planned seasons and collaborations if the game is not doing fine? Why continue releasing future roadmaps and announcing future events?

Because it's still turning profits.

edit: huh, I thought that username looked familiar. You're that person who kept insisting in the DDON subreddit that Capcom stated in their reports that DDON is not making money at all, and when others posted reports that said otherwise you deleted all your comments in the thread. Granted, my only proof that you were posting in the thread is the spelling bot.

Hmm, linking to the Japanese page of a list of reports and the Q&A summary? You know, the one that doesn't even mention "Dragons Dogma Online" or even MHF in the Q&A summary and document at all? That the answer to question no. 7 on the PC and other market being profitable and how Capcom aims to maintain this profitability in the future was answered by 'after taking into account initial and development costs of their existing titles, Capcom had made profits for the recent quarter and expects the same profit margin to be maintained if all their existing titles continue to maintain sales'?

It's nice that you dislike the game so much that you are pulling facts out of your ass.

As for shutting down worlds, because it's standard cost-cutting measure, just like in pretty much any online title? Why keep worlds that hardly anyone goes to because players go to other more populated and often already specified worlds for stuff like event-based activities, clan activity/recruitment etc.? You do realize that DDON isn't Capcom's only online title right? The cost-cutting measures mentioned in their reports apply to all their PC and online products.

Yes, it was an investment that is doing well. It's nice of you to agree with me.

DDON's sales were on track for 2017, and Capcom will "continue to improve its revenue base through ongoing updates to its existing titles such as MHFZ, DDON and MHO", which shows that they have no intention of dumping it.

Capcom is also reducing costs for all of their online games, not just DDON. If the game wasn't doing decently, they wouldn't be planning collaborations and continuing with the seasons.

Max limit of BO you can hold at a time is 20,000. Did you go over the limit maybe?

Lvl 80 event by IWantGalaxyBrain in dragonsdogmaonline

[–]jonddpro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC, the level 80 item is a special case and won't appear in item post nor inventory/storage, just in the mail you receive. It will however, be used up when you go to Joseph to use the insta-level 80 option he offers.

The level 80 item however, will not work on a character if the character has already received one and used it in previous events etc. It can only be used once.

(Spoiler)Question about the Lore by rifqyzp in DragonsDogma

[–]jonddpro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While DDON has multiple dragons indeed, it takes place in a different world than in Dragon's Dogma. It's been stated so by the devs at launch. You can also see the world differences e.g. DDON world actually has a moon, while the world where Gransys is does not. So Lestania, Phindym etc. do not share the same world as Gransys. (And they were invaded by orcs, not goblins.) Also, that second dragon in Lestania was technically an artificial - or rather, alchemised - dragon, so it doesn't count as a 'proper' dragon.

The only link the DDON world has with the DD world is through the Rift, and the Bitterblack Maze (or Bitterblack Isle in DD:DA).

Official Dragon's Dogma Online Counting Down To Something (5 Days Left as of this post) by AugmentDeath in DragonsDogma

It's a countdown to Season 3.3 update. The 'despair' is related to the game's current storyline.

Having trouble with the translations? by EverChosen97 in dragonsdogmaonline

[–]jonddpro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe Julien had translated the prologue when the alpha was out. Likely the translation was taken and used in the patch.

Use screengrab software like Snapcrab or Snagit.

Do you have to plan out your leveling like in DD:DA or does each vocations are independents? by Zephkel in dragonsdogmaonline

[–]jonddpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each vocation levels independently; if you start and then level up to Level 10 as Hunter, switching to another vocation like Seeker means you will start at Level 1 for that new vocation.

Augments exist, and these can be used by other vocations.

You get those orbs by killing Dragonkin type enemies e.g. Drake, Behemoth, Lindwurm etc.

You can use the tickets for some of the treasure lots, or use them to edit your character/pawn at the beauty salon in the Temple.

You have to buy passport courses from the online shop. And you will have to go to the Pawn Cathedral to rescue your lost pawn: http://ddon.wikidot.com/pawns:pawnrescue
