What the heck is this?
Dungeon Fighter Online (DFO from here out) is the English localization of the Korean MMO Dungeon and Fighters. The game is what happens when you turn a beat-em-up into an MMO, and give everyone crazy bizarre abilities to crush the whole screen at once. The original USA release was completely botched by Nexon, but this time Neople (the original developers) will be bringing it over themselves, so hopefully the game won't be crushed under a berzerkly overpriced cash shop, bots everywhere, and a complete and total lack of moderation. Also have a trailer:

Where can I play this
Nowhere; at least until March 24th. You can check here for updates: http://www.dfoneople.com/ or their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/dfoglobal

But I don't want to play in the Beta because I don't want my characters wiped later!
Neople has said that they won't wipe characters and levels, although they may (probably will) wipe items and such.

Help there's a bunch of characters and I don't know what to pick!
I'll fill this in later if there's enough interest.

How can I find other SDA people to play with?
There is an in-game guild system that we will use, details when the release happens.

Used to be way into this before the Nexon cash grabbing became too big of an influence on the game. (But I suppose it was designed this way)

I had no idea that Nexon handled the US conversion and not the original company. So the new "alpha" build was made by Neople for US release? I had thought it was always a finished game. Either way I'll be jumping into this soon, loved this game.

The best defense is invincibility.

I already expressed interest in involvement during one of Murph's streams, but I'm rolling with what I rolled before, FS Sader. Hell yeah, I'll be the token buff bitch, but know that I will most likely punch shit as well, since I have no problems relying on the base Priest moves at level 1 to fight with. I'm not just gonna sit there and stare at health bars all day (unless it's somewhere really dangerous with a full party and people are having issues with getting hit, of course.)

I was actually very serious about my role and getting the maximum input and output with it, back before I stopped due to one of my old group getting hacked and Nexon silently ignoring his tickets forever.

Speed > Safety

Definitely interested after they do the wipe, which hopefully they will do.

One thing I've been thinking about, as a sader, is if and how the usefulness of Revenge of Light can be utilized on bosses, when there's no longer any use for excess HP (particularly if I have everyone at max as of the beginning of the encounter.). Basically how it works is, when you attack you have a low chance of causing a weak lightning strike on the enemy's location, but when you GET hit you have a very high chance of causing a strong lightning bolt to hit the attacker. So what I'm thinking is, hoe many bosses have a relatively non-deadly attack that hits a lot of times, which you could deliberately stand in to nuke them? Also obviously there are plenty of other ways I can prolong one's ability to purposely take damage, like two different damage absorption skills (which still trigger RoL) and a Life 3/Regen buff. Also Indomitable Spirit which anyone can use would be of help.

There's definitely a few bosses where tanking for RoL can be a thing but in general its not worth the time/effort.

So big update, Neople announced that the beta will end on June 13th. The game will be down for approximately 1 month to be brought up to not being ancient. After that, items and such will be wiped, but all your characters will retain their levels.

GET TO IT, DUNGEON FIGHTERS!

I dunno how often or how long I'll be available til the 13th, but I'm fully open for helping people out with stuff in getting levels. I can keep people alive pretty handily, so if you're running into any issues (up to around level 33,) I'll be your man if I'm on. I'll try to leave the game on and watch guild chat when I'm available.

(Also I can accept guild join requests, so if you follow the instructions in the first post, I can get you in.)

Sent my request in.

Is there anyway to shut off the chat? All I'm getting is constant gold spam. Or just leave the guild chat maybe.

If you run the game in windowed mode, the chat gets put off into its own side-window thing that seperates the megaphones from the general chat.
