Should you play this game?(For new players)

[BorosTheWarlord]

If you're a casual player and don't hope to progress more than Near mid-game, then yes. If your willing to spend thousands of dollars, then also yes. If your a massive masochist, then absolutely yes. If not, then no. My opinion of the game, as you will see, if you look into the fandom is common, as ALMOST EVERYBODY has a NEGATIVE VIEW of the CURRENT STATE of the game. If GameKing was a digimon, they would be a 6/6 Lvl120 Barbamon. Why you say? Because they are the epitome of GREED! This the only game which I'm actually going to write about, which I have never done to any other game. So whats bad about this game you? To put it simply, bots, hackers, corrupt GMs(GMs are basically admins), GMs being hacked/blackmailed, servers being hacked, players being hacked(easily), month long updates, loot boxes which cost 7 to 20 dollars each(and you will mostly get a trash item), digivices cost money, digivolving your x-digimon also cost money, and illegal trade. There is also a MASSIVE GRIND, which will grind you to dust(you may get a decent digimon, but it will take you years and thats not really exaggrated) . I literally played this game for 600hrs and I still don't fell strong enough to go to mid-game. The exp boost event awhile ago was awesome, but it was a temporary thing and still didn't change the difference between non-payed digimon and payed digimon. AND FOR THE WORST PART, there is like ZERO SUPPORT. Also not all GMs are corrupt. I've had a love-hate relationship with this game, and also everytime in the end it has disappointed me. This game has potential, but Gameking shot that down. Most DMO youtubers are also leaving due to theses very reasons. All the reasons problems listed above isn't even all the problems. There are still the bugs in the game( which I'm not to go into, because I have already listed tons of problem with game. So in general to finish my rant, I would say no to playing this game. Maybe a lack of players will make GameKing treat us tamers better. HAHAHAHAHA, yeah right! They probably won't. My comment on this game is just another hate, disapointment, and frustation filled rant in the sea of millions of other negative rants on this game. I'm genuinely sad and angry about how this game is.

The only people trashing the game are the ones getting banned and those not able to afford to buy from the shop, all free to play games are like this. I have been playing for years and rarely buy from the shop so you don't have to be a hardcore player to enjoy the game do your events get your rewards and spend minimal in the shop it's simple. Stop complaining just because things don't go "your" way.

[BorosTheWarlord]

Yeah, thats why I said you must be a masochist. You literally proved my point. You spent Years! you shouldn't waste years to get a good digimon which could range from 20-200 teras. Also the events are terrible right now as some of them can't be done as veterans come in a take all of them main rewards. Also are you defending this game? Dude they literally don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about you idiot! Though you say all those things, it still doesn't account for the other concerns such as them having no support. Try contacting GameKing Matthias... oh wait you can't! Then there is the servers getting hacked and account getting stolen from people who didn't cheat, there is a video on youtube which talks about how easy and how to hack the servers. Also the reward you get from the events aren't that good, you still need digiclones, which are expensive to get the good ones, and requires time. While some people trash the game because they got banned, but also because the company is trash and the game is okay at best right now.

this is the best game of the world i feel pity for you

[Andrew Wick]

I agree but you dont need years to get good digis, you just need know how to get good digis, i created a new acount in 1 year and in 1 -3 months already have a good digi.

The rest i agree i still dont inderstand (i was lucky at time i wasnt playing dmo) i found ridiculous the suport banning probably inocents players who buyed items at cheaps and they barely did nothing to ban the hacker, how they will know its was hacked item i mean the gms do events where gives free item to players.

I mean its impossible to track items prices, the spirits items were 60-90T now its 25-30T if i buy for 25T i will get ban for that?

Like he said the dmo its getting greedy, arena rewards changed for worst, the dungeons rewards like idg or kimera worst and now you need farming pass just to enter idg and the rewards not worth anymore.

The clothes from dungeons were good and permanent turned in limited time.

The next years the worst will probably the rings, necks, earring will be 15d, 30 days instead permanent like now.

Heck i even worry that digis will be limited time, you hatch the digi its say you can use for 30 days you need hatch again same digi for another 30D?

Its sad because i played this game from beta and grow up with him and with time i feel they have no ideia what to do with this game.

Yup, took the words out of my mouth!

I'm completely free to play, with 2000+ hours in around 14 months playing, and I feel there's still lot I can do to progress. I can say there are events at least every month, with at least a patch each week without exception.

Most of players complaining are comparing themselves to paying players, but in this game that makes no sense cause there's no PvP mode that could give players advantage over others. Being an only PvE game, makes it that strong players can either owe lower player for certain things they can't do or help e'm, none of them is really bad for weak players.

The bot and hacking is an issue for sure, if you don't want to be hacked don't be an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, bots are not that bad considering they keep prices on items low; there shouldn't be neither but if they are not gonna be solved theres not much players can do without support from the game .Without that issue the game is pretty playable for anyone either paying or not; being addict or casual too. About lootboxes they are an option you take if you want to spend/waste your money, if not you can play a lot and get things with effort; playing moderately you can get a really strong top digi in 2-3 years, which is somewhat high but not insane compared to other grinding MMO's out there, fair considering thats the endgame.

Lack of support may be the other issue, we get events and patches but theres not really an effective way to solve players issues. GM's seem to appear just when there is a GM even and dissapear till the next one, and theres a lot of players whose tickets have not been responded. Either steam or GK account players support is a weak aspect of the game for sure.

If you are lazy and don't want to spend then you are complaining for sure eventually. In order to be strong you can take certain routes, if you want it all you will never progress. Players complain about new digis being thrash and expensive, but almost every new digi is not needed and neither worth to get, worth getting digis to progress are not expensive if you don't count endgame digis.

Play with brain, and you will have fun and enjoy the game; play dumb and you won't do more than complain about it. As everything there is good and bad in the game, but don't let haters blind you, try and decide yourself if its worth your time or not.

The there no pvp doesn't matter for comparing because there are some events which require you to compete to fight ONE DiGIMON to get the actual good rewards instead ♥♥♥♥♥♥ food items and one decent reward. Theses events are often completed by veterans with the top lvl digimon in a few secs, which prevent people with average digimon to get nothing. So no criss, people who pay do have an advantage over non-paying players. You don't need pvp in a game for it to be pay-to-win. It also not hard to compare people who pay vs people who don't.

Also if you have to pay for a end-game digimon that means theres a pay-wall which is PAY-TO-WIN.
Again, like I said being an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ doesn't determine whether you can be hacked. You get hacked regardless, in which if you read would know that the servers of GameKing are extremely vunerable too as one of the main hackers of DMO even gave an explaination on how to do it(its really easy). Also the bot are the problem as even if they give low prices, you still need money to grind to afford the items from the bots, which is harder DUE TO The BOTS grinding in the places need to get item to sell for money(though it isn't impossible). Also it doesn't matter whether items on bot are cheap as some item prices get inflated to oblivion. One geneha for 200-300 when it should be 100-150. ONE icon of sin for 99 teras when it should be way cheaper.
Also Criss, I agree you could get the strong digimon in a few yrs is possible, buts thats years, why waste your life on something which will become weaker in a few years. Though yeah some mmos are like that, they are also mediocre and supporting mediocrity will only encourage more mediocrity in games. In which Adriandeoro in the discussion was right about, it also us who lets GameKing do all this stuff and not become better. Eventually the late will become the next midgame.
Its not about lazyness, its about not wasting time on a game which is subpar in its current state.

P.S: I said if your a casual player who doesn't care about progressing far then you should probably play the game. Also whether or not your playing with your brain doesn't matter. Hate doesn't blind me, you need to criticize things to think critically instead of blindly defending some game that doesn't care about you. I might be a hater as you say but I played the game for tons of hrs just like you have and have experienced its in and outs. Also the facts there are hackers are a problem which every company would try and get rid of.

The last thing this game needs is people defending it, defending mediocre games and bad practices encourages more mediocre games and bad practices to be made.

[Xrystofer]

No. The game support is horrible and they have a security flaw. They can hack your account and change your password without any verification.

[BorosTheWarlord]

I'm not hating on it because I no longer playing it and due to me playing it as a regular who played over hundreds of hours. How can I blindly hate something when I played the game in all its aspects. Also unlike lots of people I used facts that are already know about the game. Also have you played warframe, its completely free not money need beside cosmetics which are not need and its an mmo. Then there are EVE online and Revelations online too, which you don't have to spend anything and they are also mmos. Though I wouldn't count dlc as a pay-wall. Like I said above I used FACTS that are well know to make the review, that isn't subjective at all

I know the game is not fair at all in many ways, but if you are going to make a "review" on a game, try to be objective and not just throw hate. You claim hate doesn't blind you but still seem to blindly hate xd.

I do said bots and hackers are an issue for sure, but that's something you can learn to deal with up to certain point (shouldn't be like that). Me as everyone else should, hope those two dissapear eventually and forever as well as the pay barrier being at least reduced.

The payment barrier exists in every "f2p" MMO I can remember right now and I won't complain about that being a f2p DMO player. Even tho I would probably spend if lootbox rates were higher on each try, spending is each players decision.

There is also games in which I've had to grind way more to get half progress I made in DMO, and if I'm playing it's cause I'm willing to grind to get things. Everyone is free to play what they want and like to, just as they are to leave till they consider the game is in a spot they fell worth spending their time and/or money.

DMO has a lot to improve on definitely but I don't feel like throwing hate and insults as I see people doing every new patch; that might be their way, but mine is this. I would be pissed if I got hacked being a top player with lot of cash spent of course, but that's exactly the reason I'm not spending till I feel safe to do so. If GK showed they do hear players at least...

Feliz Año Nuevo!

P.S.: I throw hate because GameKIng is greedy and a bad company and should be criticized for it, and I am sorry if I threw hate at anyone else besides GameKing. Its just the game could be much more if it actually went and improved the game itself and the community(Support and stuff like that).

[BorosTheWarlord]

But instead Gameking uses events to blind people into thinking that its getting better.( though techinally the good events already died down.)

Warframe: Tradeable only cash items (plat) like in DMO, just with a way below rate from real money to game money conversion than in DMO. Even tho that only applies from certain point it exists and only way to get em is through someone that used real money and placed it in market.

EVE Online: You can get skills and equipment through payment. Tons of grinding needed to get to someone that paid to progress.

Revelations: No idea

Warframe and EVE Online are games with a "market" like the role shops play in DMO in which you can get the items people paying bought through cash. The fact that cash spend lets you progress faster makes it p2w, or at least pay to progress since paying doesn't guarantee you winning. EVE Online btw, being an insane grinding game has had the bots problem and still does, with way more care from developers of course but exists and it's not that hard to find people botting. Same does Runescape which is another insane grinding game, but unlike EVE or DMO, in Runescape it's uncommon since the problem is treated better.

Problems like bots exists in every grinding game, being the difference if it is common or rare; P2W exists in some way too, being the difference the amount of time required to spend to get to someone that paid; hacking is more complex since some games have effective account recovery systems with a good security, so I'm ignorant if thats a problem out of DMO or not.

DMO is not the ONLY game with P2W, BOTS, or HACKS. In my opinion the worst, probably, but not the only one for sure. The main difference from the community view of the developers is that in most games I've played if this issues exist they at least keep community updated on the measures taken, etc. DMO seems not to care at all about it's community, since the only updates we get are patches, events or "warning".

Yup that what I've been saying, GameKing( Owners of this game) do nothing unless it involves them losing money like private servers or makes the game easier such as attack animation glitches.

[BorosTheWarlord]

Yup, but they won't unless it affects their money flow.

hello, BorosTheWarlord.
can you help me get some info on the current situation?
as i was reading few topics here and there on this forum, im not looking to start actively spend time playing this game according to all issues you mentioned.
the only reason to jump in is to activate steam card drop, but i think i saw complains that is broken too?
but if it works what would be the best time and item(s) or whatever to spend $9?
thanks!

I don't know about the steam card drop, but maybe if you have $9 maybe spend it on a permanent item like auras, rare evolution items(Ex:Return of nothingness) for a good digimon like betamon for apocalymon (though you should check the market to see if the item is actually rare or expensive to get), or a mercenary slot, but these items don't really matter until your near the middle of the game where you do raids or participate in the harder events. Though I don't know if their giving out backup disks in events anymore which should be used with digiclones for your best digimon, so maybe backup disks if the events don't give them out anymore.
P.S. you should really research about the digimon you want to get or can use and there OTHER requirements before buying anything. You also need good stats for some digimon as some are ds(Digisoul) hogs.

[BorosTheWarlord]

Though if want to succeed in the game, you would want to join a dedicated guild with members who will help you with items, raid, info, etc.
