Bug Report Solved Dragon Championship NPC shows wrong Information

Hi there,

I noticed that the championship NPC does not show the correct time for the registration of the Dragon championship in Arteica.
As an example, the NPC yesterday indicated the time for Wednesday 2 p.m., but yesterday was Thursday and in Germany it was 11 p.m. when the registration started.
I would like to have more detailed information about when and how often there are championships that you can prepare for, to reconcile it with his real life because the game is fun

Developer Update Belated Anniversary Development Update

Syvaenir.png

This was going to be an update posted for the server anniversary, but due to several delays I had to push it back until there was some concrete information to post, as I generally dislike posting empty updates.

The main reason things have been quiet regarding the source update has been that we have had to step back and re-think how data management and patches are handled with Dragon's Prophet. Dragon's Prophet was never really made to have multiple branches of development with patching, which meant we were having some issues when trying to maintain the live server, and the beta server without running into issues (this was also compounded by a change to data that we were trying out but have since abandoned). The patching process itself for Dragon's Prophet is also... not good. Assets and data are grouped together in different archives, and then they are re-built for each patch. For smaller patches like data this is fine, but for textures this means that it takes a week or more to create a patch, and it is also prone to failure halfway through. To deal with these issues we decided to look at how patches and updating is handled, and re-worked things so that we can optimize the process a bit more and automate it as much as possible. We have also made changes so that maintaining proper branches of patches is possible. This was only completed yesterday, and we still need to do some testing to make sure there are no issues with our new system, after which we will move back on to beta testing.

Another thing that we had to work on was creating a new model editing tool, so that we can get Yan Yu and Zuo Ran to work (at least in theory). Chinese Dragons and Ancients do not use the same implementation as other Dragons, so we had to make this tool so that we could make them compatible with how other Dragons are handled. This worked... Up until we packed the textures into a patch, after which the textures are no longer visible in the live client. We are planning to do some changes to our development client to see where the issue of the texture showing up happens but given the delays, we have postponed that until after the beta testing is underway again. The plus side of making this model tool is that our developer Dragon has basically had to learn everything about the structure of the models, and he has started putting that towards the model exporter (and potentially a better importer tool). The model editing tool is also something we are going to need to implement the Samael Wings we had previewed before, as they have a similar implementation to Chinese and Ancient Dragons.

Other than the programming side, Aiden has been working on bringing some of concepts from our coloring contests into the game. The first of which is Corroside, the Tropical Terror by @Jaslyn and what has been decided to be called Amarok, the Revenant by @Predagirl. The announcement for Amarok is still pending, but we will likely post it either this week or next week. Outside of Amarok and Corroside, Aiden has adjusted some unreleased Phantoms, and we will be releasing these soon as well, though the actual implementation has not been decided yet.

Regarding expanding payment options, we are working with a new developer to start implementing Stripe Checkout for the site. I currently do not have an ETA for this, but I am hoping that it will be sometime within the next week or so as well. We are still looking at offering Paysafe, however because Paysafe is most widely used in Europe most payment providers that offer it work only with European companies, which is why we were unable to get accepted by Ayden or Mollie. We are looking at partnering with Paysafe directly, but they are difficult to partner with. Stripe Checkout offers many payment options for Europe, so that may be the only option for European users who do not use Paypal.

Regarding the frequency of updates... Game development is notoriously slow, especially when you are a small team. It is also made slower in the fact that we are working with someone else’s logic and code, and not our own. Dragon, our primary developer, has taken few days off while working on Dragon's Prophet for the past year, and my only vacation was my computer dying the first week of February. Aiden only takes breaks when her Tendinitis flares up, or when she was moving. If things are quiet, it mostly means that things are being worked on and that they are not at a state that we can share much about them or is something that is not something you would normally announce (like a 10% increase of file loading).

Lastly, people who have been contacting staff and demanding updates, preferential treatment or just being entitled in general. I am more than willing to answer questions in the public Discord, on the website, or even in PM but contacting other staff members and demanding anything from them or giving them an attitude is unacceptable. If this continues, I will have all the staff currently in the public Discord leave and will permanently ban anyone who continues to act entitled as they have been. I do not have the patience, or inclination to deal with such people, and no one should be contacting staff, much less giving them attitude when they do not get their way.

Dragon Preview Introducing: Corroside, the Tropical Terror

Corroside1.jpg

Now that we have gotten the majority of pre-planned Dragons out of the way, Aiden has begun to start implementing the different Dragons that have been chosen from the coloring contests. The first of which is going to be Corroside, the Tropical Terror by @Jaslyn.

There have been a few changes from the initial concept mostly in just refinement of the pattern and some adjustment to where colors are or how colors shift on the Dragon.

Like all exclusive Dragons Corroside, the Tropical Terror will have the Adept Dragon Trainer skill.

Thanks again to @Jaslyn for the concept.

[Demos] Sneek-Peeks of Unity3d + Dragons + VR

Hi fellow Osirians,
(and I also wish you an happy international women's day)

Brief Introduction:
I'm Cippman and I'm here to share some of my Demos with dragons of DP with Unity. I really owe a lot to this game, not only for dragons (ok, mostly for them) but also for real people I met.
And as developer... this is my way to tribute it.

I'm not good with long speeches, presentations... so let the showcase begins:
Note: These actually are really old projects / demos (closed source and they won't receive updates).

Multiple GM events?

hello, ive been here for a hot while now and ive noticed something that...GM events arent all timezones friendly, some people just cannot reach the GM event for timezone issues and im one of them

i know this might be a bit much to ask but im just suggesting it (and im sure a billion other people suggested this as well so im sorry) but perhaps we could do 2 GM events per event day? i can understand if none of the staff might or might not be available on Eastern European timezone or UTC +3? (if thats how you call it) but please put this into consideration, or make the gachas possible to trade so that people can give their alts to people to log them into the events, because the majority of the dragons that ive seen come from the marketplace or gachas from the event

i can understand some ppl might go out their way to attend a second event by the time but then thats just their extra win? or maybe its not allowed? some kind of a ''you have already attended event today'' thing could be added to the portal?

all good if my suggestion doesnt come alive into the game, its just a suggestion anyway, thank you very much for giving your time to read it

An entire new wiki of this private server

hello, as i see this server has many dragons added in the game that no other kind of dragon's prophet or savage hunt kind of wiki has information of, i know there might be guides in this website but perhaps a wiki of this server would be nice? with all the new dragons, where to get them, all that jazz, and as for the unchanged information perhaps just looking at the wiki and taking the information from there?

i understand it is a huge thing to ask for and would take months to get most of the information in it but perhaps it could be done?

im just suggesting, if it doesnt happen then im glad someone even gave this post some attention

have a great day and thanks for reading my small post

Bug Report Solved Character recreation issue

Hallo Freunde ^^
Ich habe folgenes Problem !
Wenn ich meinen 6. und damit letzten Charakterplatz nutzen will geht es nicht richtig !
Es ist nun zum 2. mal hintereinander das sich das Spiel aufhängt wenn die "Einführungs-Quest" zu den "Käfermanipulatoren" kommt !
Quest : besiege 3 Käfermainpulatoren
Sowie der erste Manipulator erscheint friert das Spiel ein - im Video-Stream .
Das Spiel läßt sich dann nur noch "hart" abbrechen weil nix mehr reagiert !
Man kann zwar noch den Char in Arteicia starten aber nur unter Verzicht auf sämtliche Willkommens-Geschenke (darunter auch den Level-60 Boost und die Level 60-Erstausstattung).
Ich stand dann im Level 3 in Arteicia und konnte von dort zurück nach Bakra reisen was aber den Willkommens-Bonus auch nicht brachte ^^
Einzig der Beginner-Drache , der ja Acc-weit ist , war vorhanden , ansonsten war der Rucksack komplett leer !
Ich habe beim 1. mal vermutet das ich irgendetwas falsch gemacht hab , daraufhin den Char gelöscht - 2 Tage gewartet und den nächsten erstellt - mit dem selben Ergebnis .
Beide Erstellungen waren in Bakra ! Ich muß noch einen Tag warten ehe die Löschung fertig ist und werde den nächsten in Puertia erstellen , vielleicht ist ja dort irgendein Problem ^^
Wenn es geklappt hat werde ich hier Bescheidt geben ^^

Bis dahin LG Ruhloser ^^

Suggestion Rejected Newbie level dungeon ancients

Hello there, id like to suggest to remove the ''you're 5 levels above the dungeon level so cannot gain ancient points'' thing
İ do understand some ancients might be in eggs but what if i used the dragon gods blood and skipped basically every starter dungeon then regretted it?

Perhaps removing the ''5 levels above'' rule could be good for people who might want the lower level dungeon ancients for their dragon collection without bothering to try and find them in an egg

İ understand that getting 300 + points for an ancient just to collect it might take lots of time but what if that ancient isnt in an egg?

Thanks for reading this and giving it your valuable time, İ hope my idea atleast gets considered

Suggestion Implemented New skytouched dragon

Could you create a new skytouched dragon..
You always offer dragons with strength as main attribute. I have a mage and it would be nice to train a new dragon. I like dragons with glimmer effekt.
I like dragons like Samael and the new purple chinese dragon, but they don't have int as main attribute

Thx a lot

Ps: dragons like "Brilliatglut" are to agressive with their color (in my opinion)

Suggestion Make Hydras (or just dragons in general) great again!

Hi

I've noticed there aren't that many make dragon great again threads hence I decided to post one.

I think dragons are really powerful however they have been overshadowed by the orange gear players can equip.

lvl 60 gear sets give 330 health and 100 extra damage. lvl 70 gear sets give 150 Magic/Phys damage and 150 dsd/ele/nat. lvl 80 gear sets give 200 dsd/ele/nat and 150 extra pen. lvl 90 gear sets give 250 damage and 250 dsd/ele/nat lvl 94 gear sets give 200 int/str and 600 dsd/ele/nat lvl 98 gear sets give 300 int/str and 900 dsd/ele/nat lvl 102 gear sets give 450 int/str and 1350 dsd/ele/nat lvl 105 gear set give 450 DA/FO and 800 dsd/ele/nat + 10k health + 200 Fero

This is to illustrate how sets grew in power little by little, while dragons didn't receive any way to be boosted.
This is only about set bonuses.
EDIT: Dragons have set bonuses, the highest I found was the MannHart set which gives 1400 health and 400 toughness, still it is a lvl 90 item.

Lets see about the other stats that both players and dragons have.

Both can equip items, and dragons don't have acces to weapons.
While a player can equip 12 items (6 armour, 1 cape and 5 accessories) a dragon can only equip 3 items.
Overstat is only possible on player equipment, thus narrowing even further the good gear a dragon can have.
Also bonus stats on player items can have levels to it like for example int II but dragon equipment doesn't have this extra level stat bonus.
This means more than 4 times the difference in added stats a dragon can benefit from.

While charisma boosts dragons the stat itself doens't give that big of a boost to dragons in comparison to other stats.
Doubling the charisma stat increases all dragon stats by roughly 30%. While doubling int gives like double added flat damage.

Dragon companion boosts the dragon but only while the player is riding that particular dragon.

Let's talk about the perks a dragon has that the player doesnt have.

A dragon can choose to increase up to 2 stats by 160% each, this by means of increasing the training level.
Or lets say an average increase up to 50% in terms of total stats.
A dragon has +10% extra hp and takes 20% reduced damage from level buffs.
A dragon can learn evolution skills which enchance its own skills.
A dragon can learn +10% stat skills.


Conclusion:
The higher lvl the player is, the more a dragon becomes useless.

Right now, I have sacrificed 4 slots on equipment and 321 stat points on charisma.
This way my highest damaging dragon does about 100k damage at lvl 108 on average and can crit up to 500k with hunting assault.
Without it averages about 70k damage and crits up to 200K.

That is nothing in comparison if I put these points and slots into Fero/DA/Int (as oracle).

Suggestions:
Make craftable set gear for dragons.
Increase charisma gains at higher levels.
Make charisma more effective.
Extra weapon slot for dragons.
Ultra-evolution
Make all set bonuses also increase charisma.
Make dragons exceed lvl 100 training lvl.
Other levelbuffs for dragons and maybe make these scale with charisma.
etc... feel free to give more suggestions in replies.

As for Hydra's they need some more love than just mass-aoe aggro.
Their stats make them look like they're made for mitigation.
A personal suggestion would be to make thorny shield be more effective on hydras or an evo skill that further enchances it.

Sincerely Lalolalo9
