The return of Dungeon Fighter Online (OPEN BETA PT. I STARTS MARCH 24TH!).

5 months is long but short at the same time considering how long I've been thirsting for dfo

Yea, that goes for some of the more hardcore fans. Those aint nearly enough to keep the game alive, though. I don't want another game that fails just because the publishers have no notion about the importance of marketing. Imagine the horror of them opening up just to close down again a year later. My Hell Freezer deserves beter.

Certainly it'll be all or a number of the Alpha testers.
I find it odd that they are going with a closed testing, most things are already tested by the mother version. It is just the translation and possibly some meshing that needs to be tested in DFOG. An open beta would probably be better, especially since all the alpha players already has high level characters.

I think that Neople will need to advertise a ton for DFOG to survive for a long period of time. On the other hand, I think the late beta release won't affect the long-term health of the game. All of the people who played during the alpha will be brought back easily if Neople targets an audience who haven't tried and played the game before -- which they'll need to in order for the game to thrive.

The only people that they could be losing from releasing the beta late are people who played during the Alpha; and these players are generally more a "core" audience that are going to be playing once the beta hits regardless of its release date.

I'd imagine that they'd bring back all the people who played during the Alpha. Closed beta should theoretically be short; it's probably going to be mostly a server/netcode stress test. It could also gate the "outer core" of players temporarily to make sure that the game won't have any bugs that would deter them from playing long term, while also hyping them up to play while they can't get in like Hearthstone ended up doing during its CBT.
I'm ok with the late CBT date, but that's just me. If CBT started soon then I wouldn't be able to play it at all due to WoW's next expansion releasing next month.

After the initial reaction of bafflement, I guess I am too. On a personal level at least.
I can't help to be worried about it though. The current amount of visual publisher work seems somewhat inadequat compared to what the game deserves and requires to draw in enough money.
!_!

Make sure that the email is legit and not some pomegranatety phishing attempt. If it's not, that's really cool!
Also, I'm fairly certain [MENTION=137]Mark[/MENTION] will pay you for that if you're willing to sell it.
I like how ZIP code is required even though that is strictly a US thing.

It's the same email they posted on Facebook, to send them a message to gain access to the translation document.

Also, this is how you tag people: [MENTION=137]Mark[/MENTION].

Exo/Avenger 2nd awakening skill videos.
Pexo looks like it took a page out of Kunochi's book.
Avenger turns into Game and Watch.

Explain yourself.

reminded me of Mr. G&W since it looked all black. I didn't notice the red outline in the videos I linked earlier though.

Also, thinking of dropping Exo for Avenger as your main?

Closed Beta Test (CBT) has been officially announced by our CEO. YAY~
It's time to spread the words of DFO to our friends around.

Recently our DFO Facebook "Likes" have reached up to 27k, and now we are looking forward to as many as 30k.

We will give you Special Avatar to EVERYONE who participates in CBT next year, when our number of "Like" reaches 30K.
So spread the words about DFO to your friends!

Can anybody predict what our Facebook "Like" will reach when our DFO goes live?

Pretty nice of them to give avatars, although I'm expecting them to give a singular Torso avatar.
Wouldn't be a smart business decision to give full avatar sets when they have to make up for the initial costs of creating DFO...Also it's not really cool if there are people who won't get avatars just because they couldn't get into Closed Beta.

Possibly. Exo's new skills are completely underwhelming whereas Avenger is getting mad buffs and improvements. They've come a long way since their initial release.
Good that they are starting the marketing now.

Free avatars for Beta testers ey? I wonder what us Alphas are getting besides our levels and IGNConfused. At least I think I remember that they said some such.

an armor set according to your level because playing nekkid wouldn't be the greatest of ideas
Question, would I rather wait for this server to come or try out some from other regions? Do they have anything different that other servers doesn't?

Personally, I would rather wait. I've played DnF, CDnF and Arad Senki, and they are all great, but nothing beats logging on and being able to read the quests and talk to strangers in your own language. There are minor differences for each version. Check DFCentral if you want specifics.
