More bug fixes for anti-cheat
Tuesday:
Mission artwork specifications
Started mission programming
Just in case anyone is interested, here is a rough mock up of what the mission/event briefing screen might look like:
Wednesday
Mission system
Thursday
Mission system
Some of you asked about an ETA for the missions. I expect to have the core system finished sometime around the 25th of this month. Although, we wouldn't have any proper missions created, so I'd expect another week after that before we would have enough for things to be playable. So GMs should have access to some missions at the start of next month, and everyone else will get them a couple of weeks after that.

I'm spending today making some changes to the game.
- Made it impossible for other people to see your credits and inventory contents. This was a response to complaints about privacy.
- Raised the exp required for levels 30+. The sudden surge in the number of level 200 characters was a wake up call that the exp rate had gotten a bit too high. Once missions are released it'll be possible to gain even more, so something had to be done to stop the game getting too easy.
- Level 200s now have permanent access to the Dusk shop. This a response to complaints that anyone with a lot of real life commitments would never be able to dedicate an entire week to winning entry into the Dusk shop, and therefore would never be able to have the best equipment in the game. So instead it's now possible to eventually get the Dusk gear by levelling less frequently over a greater period of time.
Sooooooooo Many Bugs? ;D
ReplyDeleteThats alot of bugs :P
ReplyDeleteWell, we can expect the missions for the next year.
ReplyDeleteMust be a butt-ton of cheaters...
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm really loving all the updates on this blog. I don't care if it's nothing exciting, I just love knowing what you're doing Admin.
ReplyDeleteNice Adminpwn -.-
ReplyDeleteThis is ridiculous, where are the missions?
Just a suggestion. . .
ReplyDeleteAdd more bosses in the end zone, let the game more exciting.
-SGT Leonardo =P
hahaha your right i watch your videos on youtube your awesome....
DeleteKeep updating us, Admin. :)
ReplyDeleteFROM: hellcat40 et. al.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. For the complainers get some perspective, read the whole blog from the beginning explains allot
HELLO WE ARE THE FUTURE CLAN DEAD IN SPANISH FRONTIER
ReplyDeleteLINK: http://deadfrontier.wikia.com/wiki/KERBEROS
Sounds good
There are a lot STILL CHEAT
Why the hell taking out instant reloading for realism while hitting with a sword a thousand times does not tire the dude?
ReplyDeleteIf instant reload is not realistic, the same applies to one who can use a sword for two hours and not get slower, with less energy or anything.
Come on, learn something from previous games.
Go and play a bit Fort Zombie and see some stuff.
DF can be better and better, but you (Yates) seem to know nothing about zombie games.
Keep working.
gustav has a point and i don't just say that cause one of my names has gustav in it. one of my names is actually gustavo
ReplyDelete@SGT Leonardo, I agree completely with you, there needs to be more bosses in end zone. But not giant spiders, I hate them :S
ReplyDeleteGustav, It's because he planned to remove instant removing sooner or later. this was an appropriate time to do it.
ReplyDeleteif you all are continually negative... you will only reap what you sow.. so
ReplyDeletestfu lol let the man work. if you dont have nothing nice to say,.,.. fill in the blank dipshit :P
Admin needs some RAID to get rid of them bugs. TROLOLOLOL
ReplyDelete~Belowme
To Gustav, Luis, and everyone else who feels their time is best spent bitching and whining like a toddler who lost their pacifiers...
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like DF, go play those other games. Or better yet...since you all seem to think you're hot shit, make your own.
I challenge you to make a better game than DF, ALONE in 3 years.
buh-bye now.
I agree with Cass. At least he's not sucked into his couch.
ReplyDeleteDEAD HORDE IS VERY LAG SHIFT
ReplyDeleteVERY GOOD DEAD FRONTIER VERY SPEED INTERNET
@Gustav He didn't remove instant reload for realism. He removed so that clip size actually has meaning again. So that there was a reason to save up the money to buy a M60 instead of keeping the FM MAG, or to buy a M82A2 instead of the Hawk OP96.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up, Neil.
i agree w/ Cassandra Stryffe...if all you can do is bitch about this game then i challenge you to create a game that is better.
ReplyDeletealso, to everyone who feels that adminpwn is just wasting time, have you ever developed anything? it takes a metric shit ton of time and effort to get something that is even remotely usable. there are always going to be bugs, glitches, unexpected events etc. etc...if all you can do is bitch about this game, then stfu and gtfo, if you had any idea about the amount of time/effort that has to go into something like this you'd be giving adminpwn words of encouragement instead of constantly bitching at him. /rant
on that note, adminpwn, you've done an amazing job...i know what it's like to have new code introduce new bugs and how frustrating it can be to have to deal w/ them...good luck and ignore all the neophytes who have nothing better to do than bitch.
--cheers
omg you are all messed up we say a thought or too and you all are bitching at us way more than we are bitching at admin it is like your favorite team losing the game get over it. and i like this game and i have better things to do than make a game for 3 years. now i am even afraid to comment about one little thing. and i mean all good for this game. hope adminownage finishes it in good time and still spends good time with his family. and i also didn't know why he took of instant reloading so it would be a honest mistake.
ReplyDeleteo yeah and i didn't agree with the part that admin knows nothing about zombies he knows a lot he made the best zombie game on the internet so gustav you where so wrong in that part.
ReplyDeletei have a solution this is what i do, i go on internet, check the blog oh nothing new I LEAVE! lol i go to youtube look at frontpage, oooh a funny video i watch it..... im done im off net lol you guyz need a life unless your still little 10 year olds instead of teaming up and bitching at one another.... anyways im done with commenting i believe admin should just remove commenting becuz people arent using it the way they are supposed to (yes, if your still bitching you'll say that i am not using it right either blahblahblah who cares) GET A LIFE or find something else to do besides bitch at each other
ReplyDeletewell ger23 some people spend all their summer inside while one parent sleeps and another at work taking care of a 18 month old and a 6 year old and having games on a x-box that they already played having to 1 cartoon channel and a pc with the world's entertaiment and knowledge at their hand. now what would they do?
ReplyDeletewell this mission looks great, will it be beginner friendly? is it different for each safe haven or is it level based.
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome Admin. :3
ReplyDeleteLooks intense. BTW look at his ammo count. He has 1337 GA or something?
ReplyDeleteWOW! Awesome job Admin! Looks great; Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteAdmin, If one of us was a girl, I'd get with you.
ReplyDeleteLooks great keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteWow Neil. Looks great. You are now my new favorite person. For a few hours at least!
ReplyDeleteVERY GOOD ADMINPWN
ReplyDelete9000000 rounds xD good job
ReplyDeletegod damned neil, why did you have to show us that screenshot?? If i can expect all the features that the briefing talks about, then i can't wait for this stuff
ReplyDeleteAmazing image, and very great event!
ReplyDeleteI was to busy looking at (No not that) Neil having 99 million bullets. ^_^
ReplyDeleteWow 9 Million bullets!! He have +100000 of GhostAmmo xD
ReplyDeletedid anyone else accidently try to click the "ok" button? :P Because my Dead Frontier Instinct told me to click it

ReplyDeleteThanks Admin Pwn. I am really impressed. You found time to personally address my issue with security errors & fixed it & your continued commitment to keeping us informed. Keep up the stellar work
ReplyDeleteZombieNation2012
@everybody else , my name IS NOT Rob LOLOL, I choose my gmail screen name as Rob Zombie =)
sweet nice way to make the game feel more dynamic, by adding random events
ReplyDeleteI'm curious if it will have the same missions as 2d and if there will be more of them?
ReplyDelete-pastor bones

ReplyDeleteThat Nastya's got a nice pair... thank you for this update ;D
ReplyDeletereal nice work adm xD
ReplyDeletecleeeeavaaaaaaggggeeee! AWESOME job Admin!! :D
ReplyDeleteI cannot explain how happy I am to see Admin keeping his promise. Thank you! <3
ReplyDeleteGreat work admin, regularly updating this blog has had a positive effect on DF community. Screenshot looks awesome. Hope to be enjoying missions soon.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the progress, and beers are on me.
Zombie Ninja
My character's dead without missions. Looting at low levels with no armor, food, or health is tough business.
ReplyDeleteIf everything comes out as I expect, I will be playing Dead Frontier until the day I or it dies.
ReplyDeleteso one more month till playable missions? not bad and at least gms get to test it out first. let the bugs hit them first lol
ReplyDeleteand he introduces new features for gm when my gm runs out. what about the year b4 when you only let gm try 1 thing first? the damn demo. what im saying is that gms should get early access, and while i was gm, i did not. but good work on getting back on track with that. im glad at least some gm will have aN advantage.
ReplyDeleteI AM GOLD MENBRESHIP XDXDXDXDXD
ReplyDelete"So GMs should have access to some missions at the start of next month" Yay! :D
ReplyDeletecan't access game is site down??
ReplyDeleteYeah i can't load dead frontier page...
ReplyDeleteI wish I could time travel.....
ReplyDeleteApril 5, 2009
ReplyDeleteToday the web-page has been updated. What is interesting however, is that it has an option to select your city. Fairview is the only one, but it has "Average" next to it. this is interesting don't you think?
got it from the dead frontier wiki
can someone tell me if this was real and if it was what do you think of the idea?
While your updating all this, you should update the game rules too.
ReplyDeletewell i read more and the wiki said it was average population. but still it might mean average zombie population but all i want to know is if people would want new cities and places of difficulty as in lower pop and or difficulty means lower level loot and less zombies with less health for the people having problems i mean wouldn't that be awesome? btw before in 2d when you died you got injured and fine i mean really did you guys have bandages and food back then? because what every body would be doing is seeing if there health or food is lower than this and die on purpose. well with the cost of that 1/3 experience lost per level. and there is a df toolfbar? i didn't know about this.
ReplyDeletesamuel tell me why does the game rules need to be updated? and why do you want them to be updated and how? if admin read it he'll be like what? cause i sure am. i mean i am confused here.
ReplyDeleteI am a bit confused at reading your posts Luis.401. Please use capital letters. (Press SHIFT + one letter at the beginning of a sentence) It'll make your post more understandable/readable.
ReplyDeleteAs for the game rules, they seem a bit oudated in my eyes (but then again, I started playing only a "short" while ago (1 year ago or so) and when a game get's update, the rules (mostly) need to(?) be updated too(?) since a lot of important features get changed/added/deleted...
Also you might check out this link (DF toolbar): http://lmgtfy.com/?q=deadfrontier+toolbar
luis back then dying sucked for some reason too long to remember and getting injured was probably when it was like first first created when i play 2d u went to crit and u lost way more xp lol and the city thingy im pretty sure we talked about that already in the older posts
ReplyDeleteThats funny, I could understand his post fine. Normally if you have the IQ to tell where capital letters go then you should have the IQ to read them without. Sorry about bring rude but I really hate people being so anal about spelling and grammar. Especially when it comes easier for some people than others. When 1 out of 3 people are dyslexic I wish people would get off people backs of something that doesn't even matter.
ReplyDeleteLuis: The rules are biased to few people, and moderators target few people. There is no need for the designated signature height
ReplyDeleteThere is a profane language rule correct? What is the use of it, nobody gets banned on account of it.
There is no rule about language- just racial, ethnic etc. There is also a rule about sexual content. People do get banned if enough people complain. BTW the rules are fine the way the are.
ReplyDeleteIf the rules are so fine, why has there been formed a Clan to enforce rules? Perhaps if moderators did their job monitoring ***Everyone*** rather than just a few, the game would flow much smoother. There would be no need for some Clan to try and fix things, although they can do everything close to nothing without actually eliminating irritations.
ReplyDeleteMAN,ur game is Awsome,however,the game doesnt run through other computer.try making it downloadable...in that case,itll minimize the system requirements and make the game run through other computers.
ReplyDeleteIan - That would be your computers fault.
ReplyDeleteYou are talking about flamers, trolls, abusive and rude people. There is no way to constantly enforce i.e.: police people. There are players and people in authority that will try. Sometimes it works. Where do you draw the line? Lots of people are sarcastic and condescending, should we ban them. I'm sure admin wants people to play and have fun and not have to babysit. Bottom line people learn by example and are easily influenced by others. Hopefully enough people are positive that it has an effect.
ReplyDeleteMind me ask what your ingame name is Hellcat?
ReplyDeleteelliwood: i find the first part of your comment insulting as in maybe i was in a rush or other people don't use capitals or maybe i just don't care since this isn't a essay or some school work.
ReplyDeletebut for your last part thanks for that dead frontier toolbar site if it is real since i haven't been there yet.
omg the toolbar is awesome!! and it downloaded in the click of a button no really i just clicked install and then boom i was like "what did it install right? well thanks elliwood

ReplyDeleteWhy do people complain about everything. "Where are the missions admin?" He just told you smart one. Learn to read before you comment seriously.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I don't think most of you realize that missions are going to become boring within a week. The only mechanic that was added with the old missions was the fact you could find an item that was lost. Your still going to be killing, but now you have a counter and receive more exp/money with it.
Admin needs to add real missions. Escorts, missions where NPC's get to be with you to complete a mission, etc.
And the people that are saying Dead Frontier is the best Zombie game on the net. It's the ONLY one except a few browser based ones. Good zombie games that are not just grinding are really hard to make.
And yes I can judge because I have been working with programming since I was 9 years old. Admin has done a decent job so far, but it's still just a grind fest.
Btw: I have nothing against him, I'm just being honest on what needs to be done and what's keeping many players that actually want to do more then just grind exp away from the game.
(Fixed the end, I missed a few words so it didn't make sense :3 I guess it tells everyone that I removed my comment above? Blogger should add the editing option :/)
hey lennon, b4 he updated that post it said nothing about missions.. fyi
ReplyDeleteWolve- hellcat40
ReplyDeletei swear some of you bitch at the people who comment more than the people who comment bitch on admin. i had to say that again cause it's still true. how about we all just post ideas and the best way where we are not yelling and the rest of us don't comment hardly on the other people yeah i know I've done this before and so has most of us so let's say we all stop.
ReplyDeleteIdeas will not be read, as Admin rarely even looks into the I&S Section of the forums Luis
ReplyDeleteThanks Hellcat.
Ryan - Lennon is right about the missions. Unless he comes out with new scenarios, the game will be just as dull.
this game is the ultimate disappointment.
ReplyDeletei spent about 9 months of gold membership on this game and played it religiously only to have one of my hard earned items disappear in a system glitch.
support refused to help me because they can't prove i had the item yet they expect me to keep paying money and playing this game.
i am so disappointed right now that i have to quit this game, because i would have kept playing it for the foreseeable future, but i am not wasting my REAL MONEY on this.
so maybe you don't care that you won't be getting any more of my money. maybe you don't care that you totally let someone down.
i used to tell people to go play this game. now every time i meet someone who might play the game i tell them not to waste their time.
Why even in DF must be some sexistic cliché?
ReplyDeleteUpdate importing. Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteCrying about how worse this game is, will not help anyone, especially Neil.
ReplyDeleteEverybody, who come there to blame Admin should Get A Life and enjoy the game. It is not life or death if the game has bugs etc.
And, if you don´t like it, keep it in Your little mind and change game.
Admin makes good work, and everybody should appreciate it.
And IS even zombies realistic? They are made by human mind.
With my awful English.
Dead Frontier is currently undergoing an important update. :O
ReplyDeleteIt's coming.....
ReplyDeleteToo soon for missions.....
ReplyDeleteMy spidey sense is tingling....
ReplyDeleteall of a sudden admin starts catering to the community! LOL
ReplyDeletesoft level cap of free members now set to 30 ... joy.
ReplyDeleteLennon - If the escort'ee follows you at your own speed, I am all for it. It they make it too slow, then I dunnoh, I think finding an object where a "large monster" (boss?) slammed down an helicopter and perhaps finding survivors (Though I think we might find them always death) is more interesting, unless they make the payout of the Escort mission worth the hassle (and even so, I would rather do a mission and loot, don't think you can afford to loot while protecting someone).
ReplyDeleteUnless the escort mission gives a huge payout, no one might do it, 20k cash (basing it on the one up there) is hardly worth going to an end zone and escorting 'em back when you could loot what? A few caviars. Unless you hit pretty much any armor, or who knows, you might get some of the 90 weaps that nowdays cost a bunch (Desert, Dragon, stuff like that), or an epic. I lost interest in exp at lv50, right now I am leveling as I go looting, but I get my gear on first.
Also, you might find the missions boring 2 weeks later, but I am waiting with huge anticipation, and am sure they will last longer than that for me, being a new player who started in May and became gold one month later.
omg Admin I fucking love you!!! I was sitting in NE corner earlier, thinking, wow, this is getting so easy. At same time, I rarely have an entire week to no life it to win TPK or TS, work calls, you know the drill. I know Ill make level 200, now I also know ill have elite shop one day
ReplyDelete/runs off to grind to level 200 before Admins nerfs it
master.... ur fail lol u dont need to pay real money to playy this game... i dont and its better that way becuz i actually have to work my ass off to get a usan-12 unlike gm's they just go oh i want this and eventually they get it pretty quick plus if ur gonna say u have a life and dont have time to play this without a gm then u should be able to make quite a bit of spare money to be a gm.... and u get bored of the game too fast becuz ur like lvl 50+ but i seriously dont like the exp cap going up becuz i was just planning on getting my sw500 by the time i was lvl 39........... BIG FAIL ON MY FOREHEAD perhaps admin should've postponed the exp cap until mission actually CAME OUT! %$@! me lol
ReplyDeleteomg... i just noticed something first off admin never told us he was going to make these changes but doesnt matter.... but it would've helped cuz i woulda been grinding my ass off past lvl 40 before the caps were made, but i thought you couldnt even see other peoples inventory lol..... atleast i never found out how thats not cool... now i will never be able to... another FAIL on my forehead
ReplyDeletenow this updates AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Admin should play as a player starting at level 1 and going all the way to level 200 before he starts making it harder for us. No sh*t a player that buys 5000 credits is going to level up fast. He'll have no need to loot and trade. He'll just run through the game killing a million zombies a day. If there was no credit shop I guarantee there would be only 5 to 10 people at level 200. So I say No Thank You Admin. Whos with me?
ReplyDeleteI think you're alone there UndeadSnake. Most of us (GM and nonGM's alike) appreciate this update. Me, I'm level 40 and a nonGM and have been since I started playing 2 1/2 years ago, and I appreciate this update. Yes, it will make it much harder to level, and yes there will be a lot more people trying to CC their way to the top, but it is in Neil's best interest, both for the players and for himself. The players now have more of a challenge that a lot were looking for, and admin now will generate more of an income(most likely). I personally think it's a win-win situation for both sides.
ReplyDeletegood idea about the dusk shopnbeing lvl 200 now imma be a nerd and get to lvl 200 :Pnow im gonna try my est to get vulcan
ReplyDeleteOver a billion. No joke over A BILLION EXP to get to level 200! Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI dare Neil to start at level 1 and go all the way to 200. No credits no Gold Member Ship And with only things we can use. Meaning no Cyborg. I bet he'll give up before he makes it or he won't even try. LOL
lol first about half of me is saying that its kinda unfair and whats the point of getting dusk weapons at lvl 200 when theres nothing more to do lol...... which is another reason why it needs a dang storyline so it has point to play..... and second off if neil was playing at lvl 1 to 200 non gm, our updates will never get done lol, which also says it will take us forever to get to lvl 200 as non gold members
ReplyDeleteTo me changes are fine, however; this will be a perfect time for admin to bring back GAU.
ReplyDeleteI'm a lvl 113 with a GM and a Role-playing class, and even I think this is unfair. I don't mind the raise in lvl caps, but 2x the amount? Isn't that a little excessive? 1.2x, 1.3x, or even 1.5x the amount I'd take, but 2x the EXP is just over the top. The way I calculate it, I need 1,017,900,000 in EXP to reach lvl 200 instead of 508,950,000 EXP. No sane person could ever hope to reach that amount unless they played the game for years. By then, who knows if DF will be a viable business entity. Non-GMs can forget about reaching lvl 200 altogether. This only makes OAs the only practical option to lvl up.
ReplyDeleteThis is really game-breaking IMO, and I hope you reconsider the lvl EXP caps to a more equitable amount.
Islidox
ReplyDeleteYeah... about that... it seems Admin has changed the number of Outpost Attacks per day as well. I've been waiting six hours and no hint of an aattack
WHAT? are you joking seriously?
ReplyDeleteI can understand your concern that the game may be becoming too easy due to an increase in level 200's but to get to that level they still have to earn a ridiculous amount of experience!
I'm level 67 and i have just been logging on and off for the last like 4months waiting for your major updates and i have bought 4-5months gold membership in support of the game before - also ive been playing for around 3years or so on and off but if you raise the experience to DOUBLE the current amount unless missions are going to be giving us a HUGE amount of bonus XP i would have to kill literally MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of zombies to level up past 100 - please for the love of god dont make me give up on your game.
IF you must make the game more difficult or challenging add a higher level cap for those level 200's.
- i agree with this - Islidox "1.2x, 1.3x, or even 1.5x the amount I'd take, but 2x the EXPi s just over the top."
This is unfair, please reconsider the XP changes.
undeadsnake i thought i heard that admin reached level 1 to 200 5 times although he did cheat it is more than reaching level 1 to 200 without anything. and really 2 times the exp. i am a level 41 soldier and it takes about one hour of grinding to get 30% and now double? it'll take me now 2 hours? i think neil is getting a bit to greedy. i mean sure people are leveling faster but what do you expect when you can kill 3 times more zombies at once than in 2d? of course we'll level faster. man admin i hope you get lot's and lot's of complaints about that. maybe you'll make it 1.5 times more exp but not 2. and why am i thinking i talking to him he'll never read this.
ReplyDelete- i agree with this - Islidox "1.2x, 1.3x, or even 1.5x the amount I'd take, but 2x the EXPi s just over the top."
ReplyDeleteI just posted a poll in the DF GM area and it was takendown almost immediately by as best I can tell Sgt Thompson as he seems to be the only mod online. This is horrible customer service, my poll was in no way derogatory and praised the game highly with suggesting perhaps a more even and balanced LVL requirement would be more conductive to maintaining customer satisfaction.
ReplyDeleteHey guys i think the update is good but i got a few questions maybe wraiths and leapers should give twice the xp , since theyre realy dangerous, and i didnt see the leaper tongue hit me (ranged), he just did it with the arm , and please admin reconsider my coments of weapons hit/butt knock back and player jump (50% speed increase but more energy consumption) that should be cool for fences and i really would love to get in the top of a car and begin shoot like a madman my loved M60 to everyone
ReplyDeleteADN -they don't hit with their tongue, just arms. The tongue swings when it moves. It can’t hit you far away.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAdminpwn...it's all about balancing the game.
ReplyDeleteAngel of Death "I think you're alone there UndeadSnake."
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of people agree with me. This was a bad update. As i've said before kill zombie, loot, kill zombie, loot gets boring fast. The credit shop is what is making people level up so fast. The game has been out for over 2 years did you not think people would be at level 200 by now!?
PS: Why not make the cap level 400? That way its still fair to newcomers and people that are already passed level 30. Leaving the Dusk shop at level 200 so that you have a reason to play after getting the Dusk weapons. Any level passed 200 won't get skill points just fame.
ReplyDelete@UndeadSnake
ReplyDeletei agree, but it should be lowered to level 150, because there is a scarce amount of players who are 150+
I agree, if GMs have to lvl as fast as nonGMs did before, seems kind of bad (I'm nonGM). Make it like they said, not 2x, 1.5x max.
ReplyDeleteAlso Sirens are the most efficient to kill, even over bosses. (to learn which one is, it's xp/hp, the higher, the more priority to kill it for xp....meaning more xp per hp....).
Also it would be nice if looting objects weren't predetermined, it would be more fun if everything had a chance to be lootable (not the same darn places....).
Adding daytime or rather, afternoon, would look nice, if you can spend the time to do so. Like maybe this schedule : 2 hours = day, 5 hours = night....7 hour schedule (it's intended to not match up with 24 hours so if you go on same time daily, you don't stay in night/day always).
And once you add interiors, make it so you don't load an area upon entering a door, so it's more realistic.
And maybe add a new zombie every month or two, :P.
So basically: to lvl up, you do missions, fighting zombies, OAs.
To earn money: marketing, couriering, looting, and missions.
- iamthevirus
no level 400 seems to high. people would have to get 4 times or more the exp you need to get to level 200 to get to level 400.so level 210 seems more like it or maybe you can get stats a profiences till 210 meaning 20 more and 10 more and then be able to level till leve 250. this should have been the change. and really reasons why there are surges.
ReplyDelete1 we can kill zombies faster since there are more of them and geraly easier to kill before dying not like 2d. my opinion.
2 lower cost in credit shop, more people are buying from there to get high level guns instead of actually taking it slow than fast they go fast and faster
3 it's been 3 years and the only level 200s before where the once who gave 110% the ones now are the once who played normally and they all turned level 200 around the same time. i think admin is doing this just to get more moneys.
other than everyone complaining all the time again topic i can't wait till missions going be fun playing with you ger23 and gooberdooper if you guys are going come back. i mean you where my clostest friends since coca cola his other friend. although cocacola if you read this don't take it offensably but i think you have anger and trust issues.
exactly my point undead snake the dusk shop is useless cuz ur already maxed lvl and as someone mentioned earlier admin is killing two birds with one stone he made a dusk shop for lvl 200 so people would want to get to lvl 200 and at the same time he made the xp 2x higher for us, forcing people to buy creds to lvl up faster unless his missions plan on getting us 100,000 xp at the best, maybe admin should've made it 25-50% higher only, the missions sound kind of like an excuse but admin made a little point with the missions which sounded like a cover-up to me, im not asking any of you to believe this, but to me it looks like it is pretty darn true but i hope admin proves me wrong lol.......
ReplyDeleteoh and i made a new account im screwing melee lol ima get a usan-12 and a sw500 so i made a new account his names (Ger Thor)
ReplyDeleteSome points I see in the blog
ReplyDelete-So admin makes the game Harder(aka added more grinding) in order to accommodate for the apparent insane increase in EXP from the addition of missions.
-These mission won't be out for members (who already get extra EXP) until the end of the month. Free members however won't see these updates until sometime next month. (if not longer if admin does what everyone expects him to do.)
The game is nothing but a amazing grind fest for gold members that pay for epic gear and GA. A grind fest for gold members. And nothing but a boring grind fest for free members, Whom it already takes forever to level up enough to make your game worth playing.
-Adding missions will make it a grind fest that involves you grinding harder to get bonus exp.
So ... Why should I pay you for gold membership again?
I think it may have been a bad idea to increase the amount of exp needed...
ReplyDeletemaybe admin made melee so weak because he knew a lot of people used it but now since it is so weak people would have to get a stat reset for it. don't know it is just a thought. but those credit prices in the market need to get lower. i don't care if people have to buy more with there own money i just need that virtual cost stat reset.
ReplyDeletemeh, im perfectly fine with the extra exp needed :P
ReplyDeleteAnd I've been wanting Elite Shop for a while, but didn't want to join a clan that has a GAU for rent
So getting Elite Shop once you reach level 200 gives me motivation to play to the endgame
Two points, however
1) Elite Shop at level 200 is useless, since you can't gain any more levels. Maybe it should've been level 150?
2) The same Elite Shop as TS/TPK means even more of the same weapons. Perhaps add some OP'd weapons on a similar level to the GAU for the Elite of the Elite. Just make them non-transferable ;)
and what is this i hear about the grinder being nerfed? it is now 2/3 of it's original power man this is bs. i know it happened a long time ago but i just fond out. unless it hasn't been nerfed but i'm sure it has.
ReplyDeleteThe whole experience cap really kills me. The reason I paid for a GM is that I don't spend hours on end playing this game, so it's nice to play and be able to build up my character. After killing a wraith and half a town's worth of zombies I went up 2%... Now having a GM is about worthless, at level 60 it'll take me a week or so to ever make it level 61, no thanks Neil. Go back to school and take some business classes. Make the game more challenging, not less rewarding. My GM expires at the end of this month I don't see any reason to renew. How long do you think missions will be exciting? Given the development rate of this game over the past year, and Neil admitting that he was burned out and content, I think I'll be looking elsewhere for my fix.
ReplyDeleteplaying game should be for fun.
ReplyDeletebut now DF is not fun anymore.
i was a GM but now i don't see any point to maintain it
what adm done is push people out this game
especially new player.
but i think he doesn't give it a shit,
just too pity.
now i call him adminpwned again
ReplyDeleteLets face it... the exp increase in no way serves the game or makes it better at all. It makes GM's a requirement in the low to mid levels but still become useless over time due to the ridiculous new EXP requirements. It is a money making move which makes the possibility of ever reaching 200 a pointless endeavor. Adding ES access at level 200 in no way makes one single bit of difference to the vast majority of DF's players given the YEARS it will take to get there. No MMO supports that kind of sustainability.
ReplyDeleteLooting is already tedious, missions will become repetitive and without offering ridiculous amounts of exp, to match the ridiculous increase, will become pointless as well.
Once my GM runs out I will not be renewing it. I enjoyed grinding and it was a big part of the game for me, content or no content, but because of this move it has now become needlessly tedious, twice as expensive and unrewarding.
What has occurred here is that an elite of unreachable players has been created at the upper mid to top game meaning any new or current players coming along who hope to get even half as far as others need to work twice as hard. This hurts the game in a big way and, to be perfectly honest, will mark the end of my time playing here and any money I would have payed in the future.
That was a very self-serving move you made Neil, doubling the exp. Were you thinking past your own bank account when you made it...how much are those GM's worth now, are they going up too? I don't think you thought it through properly given your weak explanations for making the change. You sold out your players without any thought Neil, how disappointing.
ReplyDeleteDF is completely offline for me atm. :/
ReplyDelete-Romeo November
Whilst I'm at it, yes we should be allowed to criticize without receiving 'shut your face and play another game if you don't like it' or 'see if you can do better'. At the end of the day it is Neil's business and it's in his own interest to see what people are saying, newbies/nubs/experienced/veterans alike. Free speech n all that shit.
and....ehhh...what happened to the crows??? lol they where just banned of the game??? hehehe was funny to get hunt by a horde of crows

crows baned,ass-lickerS win.XD
Hmmm.... bird swarm... not a pleasant sight. I've had enough moments of crow battles with Nightmare difficulty in Alan Wake 0_o
ReplyDeleteWell... looks like Neil skipped a day lol
now the used to be non gm got the same exp as the now gold members. gold members are now paying for what the free players had for free. does that seem right to you?
ReplyDeletei agree with sgt leonardo , there should be more boss and more aggro
ReplyDelete:) Ps* admin your doing grate keep up the good work
la unica forma ganar esa experiencia alta
ReplyDeleteseria como el 2d que habia 1 fortaleza se acuerdan
en vez de 1 que sean 2
nastya y dead zone(atake te sale bosses)new bosses,zombies
luis I take no offense, I honestly never get angry real life or ingame, it's just me trolling you (for trust issues, I don't trust myself more then anybody else :P)
ReplyDeleteYea, the game get's awfully repetitive..... Looting is so-so as nonGM. Missions will probably become repetitive. Marketing is last resort for many (to some, gets more money then looting).... CCing (for 'richer') will make the game less of an 'earning' game....
Now don't get me wrong, if you have CC, grinding will be so fun (if it ain't the same old :P). But many people don't spend money on this game, if they do or do not GM....
Neil, read all these comments are try to figure out a way to make the game more diverse, with more variety, and a 'chance' for nonGMs....Add some useless but fun stuff, make roads that don't go straight line (curvy maybe, diagonal, etc)...
Obviously people really like this game, cause people are complaining and stuff. Maybe also before you make a big decision, ask us, we are your audience, your possible customers, your future (maybe :P)..
- iamthevirus (maybe should get a blogger account)
Every one please contact Neil (AKA Adminpwn). Don't post here. Let him know how upset you are in a way he can't ignore. His email or maybe the Dead frontier wiki. If he reads this he would have already fixed the update. Yes I say fix because this is a bug to most of us not and update.
ReplyDeleteSo Admin makes it a little harder, and everyone starts whining?
ReplyDeleteReally. As Neil said in the post, he upped the exp because leveling was getting too easy. If anything, you should be pissed at those who leveled far too fast
The one thing I don't like is the nerfed OA bonuses. That needs to change, I think, but everything else is fine :P
licker comes,crows should run
ReplyDeleteI leveled way too fast before he changed the game, which made it seem too easy. After this, I can stop being lazy and go into the end zone (which has a good effect because I get to loot better stuff).
ReplyDeleteStill can't wait for the epic Events!
It was never easy to level past 100. Admin is obviously detached from the experience if he believes this. It was just a bunch of no-life grind robots who made it seem easy. The humans, due to rl matters, level reasonably slow in comparison.
ReplyDeleteWell anyways, I'm finished with grinding. I hope missions will make up for this dissapointment.
Awwww man and i'm losing all of this D:
ReplyDeleteF**********k
free peds and credits wait your coca cola? well i buddy i really didn't notice should have gotten a clue at the pic you have for your account. and i honestly did not know you where trolling with me. i mean you are coca cola right? cause iamthevirus is like a very high level for a soldier and you would have told me about that account if it was yours.. unless it isn't you and now i am confuse.
ReplyDeletee-hero havn't you read the reasons why people are leveling fast and the poor reasons admin told he uppered the exp? again 3 years/ faster zombie killing/lower prices in credit shop for more rich people buying them. i like the game and play it when i'm bored but i feel that admin lied about being comfortable in the ways he has like 3 updates that would make him earn money. hopefully the missions will give the exp that gives up around the exp we would have without them 8k exp for 500 zombies seem right i mean normal zombies. but i am sure it'll be like 4k at most. at least see what we mean e-hero i am not wishing to fight you in anyway. again time to bring the gau-19 back lol
Luis, sorry....I can't understand you.
ReplyDeletemissions! im very excited for DF3D to come back up gameplay-wise to where it left off in 2D.
ReplyDeleteyou're doing stellar work neil, fuck all these complainers.
Hmm this is funny, actually, because those of us who complained that admin didn't seem to be doing any work a few month back were right. And those who were licking admin's boot saying he's taking his time to get everything right, found out he was actually not doing anything with the game they were paying for.
ReplyDeleteConsidering admin's track record I wouldn't be surprised if he made this move to try to force people to pay for his game.
When is admin going to start this weeks agenda? It's Thursday already, and he hasn't even posted Monday yet...
ReplyDeleteEveryone gets dialed back because more people make alts designed to power level, borrow or transfer their GAU and/or buy up all the highest end equipment they can with credits and/or jump between outpost post attacks using pvp killing to teleport and making leveling their full time job with overtime. Something else is wrong with that other than XP. There will always be someone that figures out how to do something faster than intended.
ReplyDeleteWill they still have this event?They actually made a nice art for the commander.Plus,she looks hot.
