Edited original post. Due to my inactivity, I could not justify continuing to have posts locked behind paid memberships, and so all sneak peek posts have now been made free to access.

DP is not something I have forgotten about, and I still have projects I would like to do/finish, but between a full-time job and my tendon issues, it's difficult to find the time, motivation, and/or feel well enough to finish/start any projects.

Dryadia, To be honest, you've disappointed me a bit.
What you mean, are these dragons so easy to acquire that I just cannot manage it?

Immediately confrontational, setting the tone for your whole post.

This is just a place where players submit their requests. I could have written Grim Reaper here if I wanted to, right? But I didn't.
I even asked you about Hell Blood before. Weren't you the ones who said it didn't seem very likely to own this dragon egg?
Since this place where people share their wishes has turned into a discussion forum open to comments, I might as well write down my thoughts...

Yes, this is a place for people to submit suggestions, ideas or their opinion. But it is also where people can join the discussion and share their own opinions, which Dryadia did. She did so politely, and pointed out where to get them. She could have added some more information about how she or others have gotten them when they have disabilities (which she has), but whether she did or not she did not deserve the attitude you gave her.

I could also include the previous posts you have made, but it's not really worth the effort.

I also have paralysis in some of my fingers. Did I ever ask you for anything? and why is this request so difficult?

But you know what?

I don't want to prolong this and hurt anyone's feelings. I'll be the bigger person. I'm leaving the server. I'm deleting all my characters. I'm deleting them from my computer too.

I will never forgive members who criticize and belittle Dryadia, Seiichi, and others without understanding them. I hope you'll be happy, because this is entirely your fault. I'm leaving because of you ...

There are many players on this server who have had disabilities (including one who could only play with assistive devices due to ALS before they passed away a few years ago); this has nothing to do with your disabilities or any disabilities anyone else may have. The request itself is not hard, but justifying the request is. By monetizing gameplay rewards it goes against what the server has mostly tried to do which is to overall limit the amount of money people need to pay to enjoy the game; you buying something someone spent months for is a slap in the face to the people who put the effort in.

It is up to you to leave the server or not, but you are doing so due to your own decision because you have been called out on your behavior, nothing more and nothing less. If you believed there was a communication issue, than say it was a communication issue and reformulate what you meant. Truly, the only bigger person in this thread has been Dryadia who stepped away after getting upset and choosing to disengage herself .

Regardless, enjoy yourself elsewhere, but you are welcome to play here if you choose to come back. I just ask that you watch how you talk to people, including me.

I’m buying DSD shards to complete my Oracle. Don’t have any right now.

i might interested! what kind of shards do you have still?

First of all, I need to say this: I absolutely never tried to bother Dryadia or any other forum or server user. Let's agree on that. If other users were bothered by what I wrote or said, that's their problem, not mine. I made a polite and appropriate request. It was a mistake from the start for her to come there and try to give advice. What? Don't I know how to do research online? Don't I know how to look at the Dragon's Prophet wiki page? I'm someone with years of experience with Dragon's Prophet. I'm 42 years old. and There are no children in front of her or you. First, try to understand what people are writing and trying to say, emotionally. Don't try to criticize.
I also have paralysis in some of my fingers. Did I ever ask you for anything? and why is this request so difficult?

Split this off from the other thread.

First, and this may be a language barrier thing, but you really need to work on how you interact with people. I am not saying this to be mean to you, or to belittle you, however in this instance and previously you come across in a way that is off-putting and I will generally be disinclined to help you. In the case of giving that attitude to Dryadia, she is one of the oldest (in age and playtime) players on this server, and she could likely get the people who have the ability to get you those dragons to help her simply by asking.

As far as your request, I am very much against adding gameplay rewards to the marketplace to monetize off them. It is unfair to the players who put in the effort to earn those rewards (they are purposely made difficult to get) and secondly because such actions have historically gotten backlash from both sides in one way or another. We have made the Black Swan cosmetic available which massively pissed off a part of our community in the past, and we have gotten complaints for years about the Napolite Gacha (this was inherited from a previous server, and I have only adjusted rates to be more fair); the reverse has also gotten backlash where we have tried to pull back monetizing these, and it just creates headaches.

There is something I am planning on where we may look at implementing rarer gameplay rewards into.

There will be some new Dragons coming soon, I am just busy with health, and work.

Looked into this just now, but it looks as adding a condition based on party size will be the easiest way to balance the difficulty of the dungeon.

Cooldown of the Dissolving Core is also going to be reduced to 23 seconds, and we'll see if that works. This probably will not go live immediately.

I just tried to do Silia with a friend of mine, we're both pretty strong. The issue we have isn't damage, the issue lies in not being able to use the Dissolving Core often enough to make sure the boss doesn't go into Berserk Mode. With the current state of the game it is extremely difficult to find anyone to do party dungeons with. I was wondering if you'd be able to remove the Cool Down on the Dissolving Core.

If you opened them you have the eggs rewarded by the gacha.

Update your client, and see if it still happens.

There should be a new 3.0.1817.live patch.

I was hoping that those who see this post and own a 5000 series graphics card might be able to use it without problems and also mention their current driver version. However, it seems that either no one using the newer Nvidia cards is playing this game, or everyone is happy with this bug.

Click to expand...

Not everyone with a 50 series has this bug; I have a system with a 5060 Ti, and another with a 5090 and neither has the issue for example.

That was also with a new DP install, with Driver 591.59 but I will update to the latest version and see if I can reproduce.

As I said, the issue is actually very complex because it is not a simple issue that can be reproduce. I will also make a ticket category for submitting DXDiag exports to see if we can find some common point for the issue, but it's unlikely to find a singular point of failure from similar issues in the past.


There are instructions for how to run DxDiag and how to save a diagnostic file. Upload the file and a screenshot so that I can compare things with other reports.

I have a 5060 TI, I tried numerous driver versions, every setting I could think of, every compatibility mode, every "fix" I could find online. Nothing worked.

DP is not the only game that doesn't play on the 50 series. There are many older 32 bit (and lower bit games) that have one issue or another because Nvidia dropped support for them with the 50 series. Nvidia seems to think people only play 64 bit games in 4k now. Some really popular lower bit games they took the time to make sure worked, but sadly, DP has a very small following, and is not important to Nvidia.

I researched this issue for months after I got my 50 series, and am lucky enough that I was able to just add my 3060 back in. A friend of mine got a new rig and gave his old one to his nephew. In order to play again, he had to pick up a clearance laptop. Luckily DP will play on just about any older hardware.
