What do you guys really think about DFO?

I've been playing it for a few days now and it hasn't grown on me. Granted I actually like this type of game (reminds me of Final Fight + From the Abyss) and it is a decent game, but to me it was hyped up a bit too much.

I remember looking in on some of the Dragonica and Wonder King threads and people acted as if those would be just time killers until DFO came out and now I'm wondering, were they serious? Honestly, this game has not made me want to quit any of the MMO's I was playing before it came out.

Granted I'm only LV7 but I'm really struggling to keep myself interested. I don't think it's a bad game, I just don't like it.

What do you guys think?

i love it to death.

takes a while for it to click on you; usually lvl 10-15+ because you can't really combo with any skills and you can't pvp until lv 10. You get your cancels at lv 15 which make pvp much better.

Also, it may be the class you're using. I played a Ghost Knight and absolutely hated it because it was so...boring. And then I switched over to Fighter and was hooked instantly. Epicly long suplex combos > flashy sword skills. Although I can't pvp at all with a fighter.. D:

My mage has been boring. I might switch to a fighter or gunner.

Been playing Priest for a few days. Seems like a very fun casual game. Not the epic "best f2p ever" that people have been claiming it as.

Don't play it for yourself.

Play it for all the Europeans who will never experience DFO, ever.

I'm experiencing it right now with almost 3 lv 18's.
I don't understand why Nexon IP blocked us, lol.
I don't even lag with a proxy on. -__-
Also, I love it. Best F2P as far as I'm concerned.

I love it. Too bad I'm stuck playing the JP version while those that can actually enjoy the English version complain about it over and over again. :/

seriously DFO needs massive updating before its enjoyable right now its still in beta but i hope they do alot of fixing before the full releas!

I'm playing it every day since the release of the pre-OB. that has to say something since i most likely quit every f2p mmo in a matter of a few hours.

I guess I'll keep playing for a bit longer. Might like it a bit more once I get more skills and whatnot.

Oh yeah, one of the things that's been bugging me, is there a place you can buy MP pots or make em?

Pretty much, there's no reason for them to not release it to the EU, no other companies are planning to do it, and Nexon owns the game entirely.

The only logical reason is xenophobia!

I enjoyed games like double dragon, final fight, captain commando, ninja gaiden. But it was more than 20 years ago. And DFO is nothing more than a beat'em all in a MMO environment. And after playing games like C9 or Mabinogi Heroes, i can't feel satisfied with action games like DFO. In addition i hate to see clones everywhere. I really can't understand why they have chosen to make a game with such a poor character customization. So, imo, DFO could have been a great game... 10-15 years ago. And such a game ll never make me quit others action games like C9.

they all play so differently and some are much more fun immediately than others (lolmage anyone?).

Yeah I saw those potions that Grubeck sells (Don't really care for the idea that you PvP for pots) but I didn't see the option for making pots with the girl in the tavern. I just get quests from her that give me some and she sells throwing items.

I have 4 characters btw. The haven't improved my opinion on the game though.

Or, you know, distance.
Which is absurd, since Candy says she doesn't lag while using proxies. I mean, no lag with proxies = no lag at all WITHOUT them.

Ofcourse it haven't if you haven't even gotten past Mirkwood. Lol.
Anywho, the quests are what gives you healing items.
Later on, you will also get quests(from her) that reward you with healing items just for killing mobs in Sky tower.

He.
And I don't, to most people.
It depends on how good or bad their connection is.
E.g Sukiriso and I have absolutely no problems partying.

The distance thing is complete rubbish really.

I can get a better connect to some US servers than quite a few people in the US.

QFT i saw americans getting the lag box thing in parties while i was fine. With proxies as well and using my Dorms connection which is not even extremely fast.

Its annoying when i see EU/NA servers broken apart it just messes with population.

I think it was overhyped. But because of that reason I had to try it, even though it didn't look great. Played it for a bit, thought it was better then most games with the action arcade style gameplay and controls, but it was just a turn off in general, I did not like or enjoy the game.

Afraid i agree with most , The game was over hyped and turned out to be nothing of what was expected...

Crap.

It's alright! I kind of lost interest after my hopes of making a battle crusader were dashed - apparently there's a missing patch that makes them viable.
I don't really like the quest approach to acquiring healing items. It tends to waste fatigue.

That said, it's still a fun game.
After they fix it up all nice like I'd actually consider spending money on it.

Oh get Windows XP, pu-lease.

I love this game; being a console gamer myself I don't like too many PC games. I've played for over two years now on the other versions kDnF, Arad and now DFO and will probably never quit this game unlike the 100+ other orpgs/mmorpgs I've played where I spent like 1-6 months leveling then got bored and quit (talk about waste of time).

The only thing that bugs me is this stupid Captcha system; can come up during battle, even on boss and if you mess it up by accident you get DC!! >:(

Just over-hyped and continues to be. People will kill for a non-generic game, even if it isn't good.

I had a feeling that that was the case. I don't particularly care for this method of procuring restorative items though.

Love when people say it's over hyped meanwhile the largest thread I think on these forums (that's not a sticky) is for this game and was made back on 05-19-2006.

People are in denial if they think this game needs to be hyped at all; this game has been popular for years and will continue to be popular for years and anyone who doesn't like it can go back to playing their crappy generic MMORPGs.

Obviously not everyone is going to like this game; and that's fine but the fact is the game is already a huge success.

I lurveeeee Dungeon Fighter, it's a great game. It just needs some of the big updates to make it even better like the priest patch :D

I like it but dam its not like the kr version at all>:(
still good tho

I think its alright...

it feels like a 2D dragonica, or grandchase with isometrics..

I WISH the party system was the same as grandchase. Having to party up with the thousands of people lagging the city exit is tedious.. They should have you click on the dungeon and difficulty, and then create or join a room.

The crowds will die off over time; as more dungeon chs are added and more servers are added and when people gradually level up; right now everyone is like around the same level and were all stuck to the couple dungeon chs for the bonus exp.

i don't care about the latency issues, i just hope they sort them out someday. other then that i can party and pvp pretty good, even with a proxy ^.^

How do you guys manage to find parties?
I try looking for a map I need and all I see are people doing the experts and master version of them.
I also notice my fatigue going down faster when I do it alone, so I don't wanna do that.

overall good game but the exp curve is getting hard.

I mean I like the game but I don't see what others see. This is suppose to be the game that gonna be the best f2p. The game where it's gonna blow other games out the water. The game that is different all that blah blah blah. When I see what ppl write about the game I just think of it as an exaggeration. I'm having fun partying with the ppl in the game then the game itself which is kinda sad.

anyone whos playing DFO and dont like the game can please lemme borrow there account so i could atleast try the game :) i dint get any beta key :(
pretty please :)

Yea what the f*ck is up with the exp? everyone is saying the quest exp got lowered, even in the nexon forums. that sucks man :|

I like how so many people are saying this kinda stuff. We already knew the game is good from experience and many people here greatly enjoy it and think it's a great game.

o but no mr. i got to lvl 6 knows everything durhur.

the game is great personally the only thing i don't really like is the fat bar they toke from arad. i doubt nexon will do anything about it if alot of players sign a petition to get rid of it.

Ppl who keep using the game is popular as an argument you automatically failed. Many games are popular doesn't mean it's the best.
