Lets Talk Brastens

[Seiichi]

Here is a list of every Brasten, with the top 5 bolded ones being the ones currently implemented in game:

• Brasten Linba - Raptor
• Brasten Thess - Aqua
• Brasten Yami - Sky Touched
• Brasten Hanter - Assault
• Brasten Weiss - Windrider
• Brasten Risuf - Hydra
• Brasten Buller - Dunestalker
• Brasten Narotte - Phantom
• Brasten Kaov - Ironhide
• Brasten Kother - Stalwart
• Brasten Fayer - Paragon
• Brasten Bosson - Razorspine
• Brasten Purintor - Ancient
• Brasten Ouram - Duskreaver
• Brasten Raybin - Oriental
• Brasten Ansu - Fabled Ancient
• Brasten Carlop - Mythic

Of those 17 dragons, the following weren't meant to be implemented as Battleground rewards and if I can find the page it was available for purchase on TW at one point.

• Brasten Purintor - Ancient
• Brasten Ouram - Duskreaver
• Brasten Raybin - Oriental
• Brasten Ansu - Fabled Ancient
• Brasten Carlop - Mythic

Getting to the point, we are going to implement missing Brastens, but we have yet decided what to do with the Brastens that weren't meant for the Battleground.

My personal opinion would be to put them on the Marketplace, but then to also use them as rewards for official Dragon's Prophet tournaments once our population is large enough to support it. This allows people who do not want to PvP to get a limited selection, and people who do enjoy PvPing to win them by pariticipating in tournaments that offer large rewards.

Feel free to voice your opinions, and share any thoughts you may have.

I agree fully, it was meant by RW this way and I shouldn't see why you should do it differently. I hope it also attracts more players to battleground, only a few people here actively play pvp and are good at it, having more relaxed people in pvp will be both good for training them (and hopefully get them more excited for pvp) and should increase the fun (I hope).

Battleground on EU mostly got destroyed in my eyes due to the allowance of parties, getting 5 or more overgeared against you just ruins the fun.
I hope it to be different here, but since the general population here is already so much less toxic and more relaxed, I'm confident more people will like battleground and get these dragons of which some are just plain wauw

Okay, just me, This is not meant as a slur/negative/or complaint against anyone here, But, i had my fill of PvP- on the ole dial up (time) MechWarrior 3, we used to drop into instance and PvP our minds out on others, Some groups where just bullish about it/other's scrip kittied it/ and some had Honor- those with Honor had a code of no hitting in the back/downed foe/Bushido Code of Honor-that being said, those of the Bushido , would not kill in-less they where fired on. or would dis-engage if asked by a foe, to stop...

I understand this is a different game and this ain't dial-up, but for those that have had PvP experience in other games, just dont want to PvP any more, we do it only to get what we need to achieve out goals in this game because of our want/need to get our achievements... not to be PvP'rs / Just to achieve...ok i've said all i will say, good luck to all who do PvP, and i'm sure i'll see you on the grounds, (just if you see my pants running away from you dont try to capture them.... i'll be in them!!)...

ok as to those Brastens...please have them all option available for the BG,... be cause i do tend to be OCD in accomplishing a 1 of each mentality.... ty

By PvP tournaments I mean a structured 1v1 best of 3 tournament, not battlegrounds.

The standard Dragon Family (top 12) would be added for Battlegrounds.

I'm generally not really PVP-minded but for those I'd PVP my ass off! I also support the marketplace/tournaments idea for them 5 special snowflakes. People who want to spend can get them, those who don't can also get them. It's a win-win situation.

 

[Moonfire]

I do not / will not pvp, just because that's who I am. I really really like those dragons though. I'll get what I can from when they hit the mp

 

[Gunmaul]

I like what you stated Seii about putting them on MarketPlace. These Brasten dragons I am willing to spend Diamonds on to get. I would like to see more new dragons in game, outside of the one we all see now that have been in NA and EU for long time. Another game I have played always released new dragons at the same time they open new zones in game. So the anticipation of what the new zone will be and what new dragons it will release is great. My point is that there are always new dragons being added as the game grows.

 

[Seiichi]

All i ask it make those available, for those who cant get on Marketplace (i.e. thru a BG-achievement option-something that is both PvP and PvE friendly-to accomplish)...i really do have a OCD issue of getting 1 of each draggies-some will just be harder than other's to acquire... but i am a patient person..

If we go with what I would like to do, all dragons but the final five listed would be implemented into Battlegrounds, with the remaining five put on the market and made available as a PvP tournament reward.

Note to people that do not pvp. When you join battle grounds you will get points win or lose. Kill or not. If we get a large group you might not even need to pvp. You can do the pve portion of killing mobs/boss or capturing forts. All that takes is pressing F over and over kinda like IOLS.

I am super bad at being able to kill people in this game. I rarely get kills. Yet i got almost enough points for the full bg accessory set. I think you get the dragon tokens from mobs as well so I dont think you even need to kill for those. Sorry if that's wrong.

Also thinking about it, we may do a seasonal rotation of additional dragons, though I'm not sure if that'll be possible.

I'm all for seasonal dragons thing. Making dragons limited to a certain timeperiod has the advantage of letting players return more often. However what I don't recommend is adding dragons on marketplace to the field. Maybe alookalike like those chinese dragons would be better imo.

The Chinese New Year event dragons are essentially the same as the ones on the market; same goes for dragons with "Twin" in the name; they are the same dragon, but they're just a copy meant for a different purpose.

 

[AlphaWulf]

what about making them a reward for the weekly events, no i dont mean every week, maybe like once or twice a month? instead of the pink pony maybe use a brasten?
