Email Received ~ Security alert: New device fingerprints (User) detected

This is the message in my email:
DragonByte Security has detected a security alert regarding New device fingerprints (User)

I am using the same computer that I've used the past 3 years and am using the same internet provider and I am certainly the very same user for the adeptgamer website and when logging into the game. I'm not very computer-savvy, but can anyone tell me what this means?

Thank you for your time!

Bug Report Mounted combat bug?

Heya,
I've noticed something during mounted PvE combat. Maybe it's intentional but since this did never happen back when I played the EU version I'm assuming it's a bug.
Every time when I hit an enemy with any mounted combat skill, my dragon moves significantly slower for a few seconds after that. Even if dis- and remount, it's still slow until the few seconds have passed. The dragon I was riding was a Fabled Ancient, I have yet to test if the same thing happens when riding dragons of other families.​

Joining Looking for german or english speaking Guild

Heya,

I just started playing on this server but have experience with DP (see my introduction thread) and I'd like to find new friends to play and chat with. I'm looking for a semi-casual guild that does endgame and dragon hunting stuff but has no pressure. Both german and english are fine for me but note that for the latter I have trouble speaking in voice chat (I can write, read and understand english perfectly but when it comes to speaking myself I have trouble pronouncing stuff. Though that might be my opportunity to learn.)
I live in europe so I'd much prefer a guild that is most active during EU timezones.​

New old player from europe!

Heya,
As the title says, I'm on old Dragon's Prophet player who used to play on one of the official european servers back then. DP played a huge part in my teen years and to this day there was no MMO that was able to hold my attention like this one (despite it's imperfections), so I was delighted when yesterday I found out that there are people who are still running the game. And although it hurts a little that my old charakter I put so much time, sweat and tears into is now gone and I'll have to start from scratch, I hope I'll be able to connect with new people and have fun like I had all those years ago.​

Dragon Preview Introducing: Xaphan, the Immolator

Xaphan is a continuation of the theme we used for Samael where we would select certain models and design them around either a fallen angel or demon. In this specific case we chose Xaphan, the fallen angel who chose to light Heaven on fire before his fall. For future Dragons in this series we may not stick to the same names just so we have a bit more flexibility, as finding one that fits each model is not fun.

Players who have Xaphan will get the title "Desecrater of Heaven". This Dragon will also come with the Adept Dragon Tamer skill.

Developer Update 5 Year Anniversary Update

There isn't much new from the last update other than that we tracked down and resolved the root cause(s) for item stat generation for normal gear and dragon gear. We are currently weighing the pros and cons of overhauling the way that the Dragon's Prophet client accesses files and how the data system works; this is something that needs to be done before public testing can begin as it would require a whole new client entirely as the packed data itself would become obsolete.

The con is obviously that the source update will take longer to come out as a significant amount of development and testing will need to be invested into this change. It would also require changes to our custom data tool, the patching system, and an entirely new launcher. These are systems that we have already made some changes to or are things we plan to do more to in the future, though not to the extent of completely overhauling and optimizing the systems.

The pros are that we would be able to optimize the client further than we already have; we have so far doubled to tripled performance for some hardware configurations; newer hardware should be able to run around 60FPS, with some getting up to 200-250FPS. This is both GPU and CPU dependent, with load times being affected by SSD and OS configuration. We estimate that optimizing the file and data systems will bring us an additional 20-40% improvement, as they are currently accounting for 60% of the bottleneck that Dragon's Prophet currently experiences. While I also listed it under cons, the pros of overhauling the system means that we can make significant improvements to the patching system so that patches can be bi-directional, allowing us to properly rollback patches rather than just patching older patches on top. It would also mean that we can do a major overhaul of the launcher and introduce things such as a "first launch" where game data is downloaded through on first launch, allowing for a smaller installer.

Other than the consideration and research we are putting into overhauling the file and data systems, we are also looking at implementing another UI engine. The current engine would still be used as is, but we would have the option to implement new UI (such as the loot pet filter that has been requested) as well as rewriting the chat system so that we can put in support for modern emoji. This is currently being researched while we're brainstorming what is needed for the client overhaul (and whether we will do it or not). The likelihood of us converting fully from Scaleform to the new engine is very slim due to the amount of work involved, and that it would likely once again require a completely new client.

The news background is done by @Arborath (our resident masochist artist).

Announcement Valentines & Chinese New Year event delayed till 2/21/2022

Because I was busy working out bugs on the large patch that is coming soon, I completely forgot to enable the Chinese New Year and Valentine event.

I have enabled them now, but they will not be active until next Monday after maintenance and I will run the noodle event for two weeks for the delay (even though I have to manually start the stupid dragons).

We have been holding off on doing any large updates as all of the updates for the beta branch will break compatibility with the current Dragon's Prophet server/client, and Dragon's Prophet does not easily allow for reversion of patches. Here is a list of below what will be coming in the patch:
  • Skyhammer Warcharger
  • Royal Destrier
  • Prince of Autumn (shown above, and also known as Wafflecone Rapidash)
  • Ao Pu, the Karmic Judge
  • Chi Fu, the Demon of Entropy
  • Luo Yi, the Twilight Eclipse
  • Sha Ting, the Divine Storm
  • Amora, the Osiran Cupid
  • Some announced and unannounced dragons that still do not have names
  • Loot pets for exclusive dragons that do not have them
    • Two new loot pets that have been previewed in the Discord
  • Transformation medals for exclusive dragons that do not have them
  • Possible change to how the gacha works soon, so that people do not continue to get the same roll

Dragon Preview Introducing: Amora, the Osiran Cupid

Amora is the pink valentine pillow that we have been getting requests for for years. Originally we had planned to overhaul the base texture to make it closer to the Whirlmoon texture, but due to time constraints we are going to look at doing that later this year.

Players who have Amora will get the title "Osiran Matchmaker". This Dragon will also come with the Adept Dragon Tamer skill.

Thanks to @Heroine for help with the compendium.
