Due to the DDoS attack that we have been dealing with since late May we had to delay our plans for the source code update as we wanted to focus on getting server stability back under control, which we mostly have now. We are still undergoing a large scale DDoS, but the load balancing and other changes we have made has mostly handled the major issues we had. We may still get a few issues once in a while, but those are generally related to the DDoS mitigation service.

Currently we are aiming to get the source update out within the next two weeks, either this coming Monday (September 21st) or the following Monday (September 28th). The initial update will include everything except the items to max or change Dragon attributes, as I will want to test them live to just verify that they work on the live server before I push them publicly; they will likely follow several days after the update, or at the most a week later if changes are needed.

We are also going to look at pushing language updates for French, Russian and German. I am still looking for a Chinese, and Japanese translator, and possibly a Turkish one depending on if the person who was interested still wants to do it.

We will also be looking at releasing the 4 dragons previously teased in the last development update (Developer Update - The coming update, and some more Dragons) and have started working on a new Dragon for Halloween.

Leading up to the update we will also be purging 1500+ shards; originally this was going to be 1400+ but we are going to wait until we can make a tool to automate checking the logs to delete only exploited shards below 1500+ (this exploit has been fixed in the source update). This was one of the things that lead to the delay, as we had to make the tools to track shards in every form that they are stored or used in the game.

EDIT: Things are looking more like it will be the 28th for the update, rather than the 21st. I got a lot of the data for the update completed, but there are a few backend changes that are needed before we can release. I am also trying to fix Shadow Cry, so that it works on more than one Dragon, but we'll see how far I get on that.

EDIT2: So I found how to make non-rare Dragons and rare Dragons have the same stats, however we will need to compile the patch and data and that will not be ready this Monday (yay for systems that are all different and spread out). The source patch will officially drop on the 5th now, as this will also give us a bit more time to make sure things are all done.

This patch is likely going to be fairly large, as it is going to have a large data update, and also some updates to binaries and shaders.

I have slight Dyscalculia and it's really hard to read the amount of gold I possess. I don't know if others feel like that too, but I thought why not mention it.

Would it be possible to separate the numbers with an apostrophe or comma?
Like 5000 turns into 5'000, 100000 into 100'000 etc. It would help a lot...

We will be having our weekly routine maintenance at 7 PM PST Monday evening. During the maintenance we will be doing the following:

This server will be longer than normal more than likely.

We are adding an additional server to the current infrastructure to add some additional load balancing, as well as to move away services such as SQL that have been affected by the ongoing DDoS. This should help to return the server to it's normal performance, though we have some additional ideas if more needs to be done.

Maintenance generally lasts between 1-2 hours, though we will announce in the Discord if it will take longer. You can join our Discord by going here: Join the AdeptGamer Discord Server!

The sound on my game is not working. Any way I can fix this?

The price and location of the "Catalyst" item are strange.

We are having another 30% Diamond Bonus weekend starting tonight and ending Sunday at 11:59 PST.

I have registered with the website, registered my account with the game I'm trying to play (Dragon's Prophet); yet when I attempt to login the game with my email and password, I get this message 100% of the time:

Please check your email address and password

I've checked it ... checked it ... checked it all over the place, but it still isn't working.

Could someone please tell me if I've missed something, or can check on the backend to see what is the matter with it?



Thanks,

Hello,

thx for your hard work. I have a new sugeestion for you.

Could you design a very small flying dragon for scouting?

Small wings and body, so you can see more of the area.. most of the dragons have big wings or a big body.

Thx a lot
Galban

I bought a character name change ticket for 300 diamonds, used it to change the name, but after the name change was done successfully, now the game is trying to force me to change the name again before allowing me to enter the game. Is there anyway to get around this as I do not want to get stuck with a different name? Thanks for any help.

Edit:
I changed the name to something very similar just so I could log in to the game, but I would still rather have the original name I wanted, if it's possible.

tl;dr: I was on NA Kronos, got shut down in the middle of my obsessive solo career. Helped with a private server for a while, can offer my services to the GA DP staff too, if they want. I like making stuff work and nice stuff for players to enjoy. I ain't looking for money or in-game boons, just some clear communication and private contacts not minding that I sometimes swear a lot in casual convo. I'm chill playin' here either way. Enjoy the dollars I dumped on you.


Not that many of you would likely remember me since I mostly kept to myself, though there were a few memorable ventures into the dungeons. I was that weirdo on NA Kronos that was trying to solo all the dungeons at matched level and refused to go into one with other players until I beat it alone. (Or maybe you know me from that 120p Thadrea road farming video with a typo in it someone asked me to make.) I was grinding for shards to get my DPS up a bit more so I could finally cross Thadrea off my solo list, since I was stuck halfway through the last boss in Mirage. But then the server was killed. I'd appealed to the EU servers on behalf of NA in the hopes that we could at least get SOME of our gear and a dragon or two copied so we weren't starting with nothing after a lot (sometimes years) of sunk work but I think they just gave a bonus or something. Didn't help that other players started flipping out at the EU people in the thread, which I had no control over but kinda killed the impression.

So I turned to a wee private server that was starting up. I wanted to make this server a success real bad since it was going to give us back our stuff as long as we had screenshots, and boy do I have a lot from when the shutdown was announced, character sliders and all. A friend randomly had admin access and a spreadsheet full of broken-English/Chinese items to test which no one wanted to do en masse. Except me. This was a massive undertaking since the sheer amount of items and the long item numbers make spawning stuff with the admin controls a bit of a pain. It was also in just one long masterlist ordered by numerical ID release rather than category and lots of them were blank names, but I was an autist on a mission. Long hours were spent just going through these things, like 16 hours at a stretch sometimes, and from the looks of the spreadsheet I have laying around I probably tested and translated/described at least several hundred items. The furniture was the biggest pain. Once in a while said friend would check the spreadsheet, ask when I slept, then organize the finished items into their respective categorical tabs. I never got to finish since the guy running the server was tangled in some alleged drama I wasn't paying much attention to, and the whole thing died.

Fast forward to this month and I was feeling a little nostalgic. Looked up some old videos by NA people and noticed a year-old comment pointing to this place. And also I learned that EU died as well, so guess it's good I didn't go there. Anyway, nice to see you all again, even if it was just mostly egg dancing, magic shard give-aways, or me acting as designated tank/NPC-smasher for more delicate players in dungeons I'd cleared. I'll happily help out if the staff need someone to do similar tedious functions since it triggers the dopamine receptors in my brain for some reason, though you likely have everything labeled by this point insofar as that specific task goes. I just wanna make stuff work. If I can get a basic idea of the texture/mesh/skeleton setup, may be able to help with reskins and models for people to enjoy. Not sure if the latter is possible, but I've been meaning to brush up on Blender again anyway. In the meantime, I threw a bunch of funds at the server since I want to encourage AG's active development and this "by and for the people" vibe that I like.

Oh, and if we hung out on NA, scream at me in-game sometime. Cheers.

Hey,

maybe it´s possible to add in future an option where you can choose the Dragon Partner + the stats he will buff...
so you can take the partner and buffs you want 100%..of curse it can be bit more expensive.
But still I think it could be a good option.

Hey yall, i bought some diamonds over an hour ago, do you know how long it can take for me to get them?

Just a weird bug... When I activate Styx Skeleton wings effect and I have other normal wings on cape costume I can have 2 wings in the same time. But When I wear Schax Tech Energy Pack and activate styx skeleton wings, the pack disappears. Other cape costumes doesn't disappear. Why? There is any way to have a Shax pack and skeleton wings together?

Thank you and best regards

I bought Atropus eggs ,but my Atropuses had empty slot at second slot...



I usually use Japanese client, and it was the same when I bought this egg.
I thought this client was the cause, and I started again with an English client.

However, the second skill remains blank and the dragon seems to be doing nothing.

Aside from the disappointing status of the dragons I bought ,
will this second skill be fixed in a future update?

Or... was I really unlucky and literally "draw a blank"?...( ﾟДﾟ)

Atropus, the Baleful Shade will be available on the Marketplace until Saturday at 12PM PST.

Atropus will use Aqua dragon scaling (Dragon Affinity and Intelligence being it's strongest traits). It has the Adept Dragon Trainer skill, as well as the Shadow Cry skill from Eseriel Frostshadow.

Like Alstromera, Atropus is using the new gender-based title system where it will reward a different title based on the gender of your character. Male characters will get "Master of Shadows" and female characters will get "Mistress of Shadows". Because it is possible to get both titles on one character (if you are inclined) each title rewards only half of the total previous exclusive titles rewarded.

I would like ssugest to add notify for carrying egg farms with something what could tell you if you carred (daily) for egg farm today or not, sometimes trough players online/offline i cathing myself on visiting someone egg farm twice, it's problematic esspecially when you care for more than few egg farms.
That could be anything, small symbol of nest next to player name in firends list, or care/cared notify.

We have been dealing with a larger than normal DDoS attack for the last week, and it got larger today. It also was not helped by our data center doing some maintenance, putting us on a slightly smaller connection temporarily, which has been the cause of larger disconnections.

Due to the way that Dragon's Prophet is designed, it is very susceptible to DDoS attacks and is something that we are going to be looking at to optimize in the near future. Currently I have been looking at and researching options for how we can better host the server to optimize ping for our EU/APAC players.

Seiichi said:

we start looking at raising the dragon level cap, higher level dragon armor and being able to overstat or shard Dragon armor

Click to expand...

since i hope you can do this - especially overstat - i would suggest to add toughness as a possible attribute for dragon armor if that can be done.
since dragons die very fast in pvp i am pretty sure this would help a lot to make them more useful.

any chance for that?

Heyho,

Sorcerer still get the redfeet effect by using the following skills with swapped weapons:
Flaming Tornado
Icy Tonado
Stonebody
