A lot of people are farming because they consider it a better use of their time than what generally passes for confront these days.

Raw items are a great way to increase your item crafting experience without using ore. Multiple +3 raw items can be used to make rare items that don't drop in battle (i.e. sacred tortoise). Over the course of "failing" to craft raw items, I have received quite a few higher quality items (i.e. way of musou).

if you think that is the reason y the game is dying no... this is the 3rd year its been out, low advertisement after summer 2011. what do you expect? be content. the game will continue until its cost goes under its product. Too bad aeria doesnt have the concept of ADVERTISEMENT....

When was the last time you were influenced by a gaming advertisement? In this day and age, a word of mouth approach works far better than the spam that disrupts one's normal interaction with media. Aeria already tries to incorporate that approach (i.e. facebook campaigns), though plenty of Aeria's members are happy to talk about Aeria's bad reputation. A failed, aggressive, traditional advertising campaign at this point would probably do more to destroy this game than anything else.

Word of mouth for DWO usually = "yo this game sucks don't play it"

Yeah, this is something I can imagine the community saying to new players.

U really wanna spend 20 minutes waiting on slow ppl that sit and talk in town to join ur room, and u realize you've been playing shorter than the wait time? And seriously GM's whats the deal with the gem drop? been playing 3 days for about 6 hours a day farming, and I get 1-2 gems? u rly think something like that is fair? u shouldn't spend all ur time trying to make money when all it does is kill the community, u also build Retard-ed (I have to type it that way or my word get changed to "Brilliant") ways of play to kill time, I mean all those misc. items that the garden give... They serve no real use... This game is dying and u have done nothing to try and save it. u didn't make it more fun, its just been worse.

The GEM rate is so freaking high dude are you kidding me? I get a gem after EVERY SINGLE Battle. I guess Aeria did do something good for once. If you play legit 4 v 4 battles, YOU WILL GET GEMS. If you do mock battles, YOU WILL GET GEMS. Not stupid farming. Farming is for people who have no lives because their only motive is to collect and collect and collect, rather than PLAY THE GAME, and HAVE FUN LOL

And we play plains because it's easy to flask and it's fast and simple. If i played on another map, flasking would take forever, and you would spawn across the map everytime you die. If you actually play confront you would know why we CF players continue playing on that map.

THE GEM RATE IS EXTREMELY HIGH

I have been playing confront for 2 years and I have never ran out of gems and I continuously repair my weapons by letting the temper break (not repairing itself), because if your weapon is 30432 and the musou breaks, you'll only have to repair with 2 gems rather than 4, 5, or 6 depending on your weapon level


It's pretty funny 2 see all you noobs complain on the forums when you don't even actually play the game. All you do is farm, no wonder why i'm always farming kills in CF, cuz people don't know how to play. LEARN TO PLAY, PLAY MORE CF, and have fun and collect lots of gems

It's a way to promote 4 v 4s.

I underlined the reason why your not getting gems.

Participate in 4v4 Melee battles and your gems are enough to sustain your weapons..

Farming games don't yield a decent drop rate at all for gems... Winning full melee battles do.

I also imagine that a good amount of people will disregard this message and not look at it intelligently... Since when should a game cater to the people who aren't doing anything.

*watches confront players run away for seven minutes after going up one point and then decides he would rather quest*

Plains is the easiest map to use. It's wide open with no boundaries which makes it easy to cluster together; however, it's not so big that you can't reinforce your teammates when they need it. It also has large sectors of troops that make it easy to flask. For Confront matches, Plains is the most optimal map.

Stronghold and Castle work fairly well for Confront. Castle, however, is usually dreadful to play on because of the crappy spawn system in DWO. Stronghold is great unless you're a musou spammer, a slow flasker, or your enemies are rushers.

Castle's main flaw is that the Supply Bases are located in inconvenient locations and, for whatever reason, the game just loves to spawn people at the Supply Bases (even when there are several other bases in which it could spawn you.

Stronghold's main flaw is that flasking is usually difficult for weapons with heavy builds (several tempers on slots 5 and 6) because there are usually very few 'good' places to flask (depending on which troop layout is selected). Most of the time, the best flasking area is the North Eastern/Western corner (depending on your team and the layout) and usually only 1 person on your team who is spawned in or near that area. Maybe I just have bad luck, but I get stuck spending the first 1-3 minutes trying to get to a decent flasking area and avoiding rushers.

Gate: Great map if you like Rush Weapons and/or not flasking completely. I would never confront on this map though. Rush-fest.
