Topic: Dawn of the Dragons / Dawn of the Dragons BETA??

Come on guys, anyone who’s played browser MMO games before knows that “beta” is just a way of saying “we take your money, but if tomorrow something goes wrong or we want to close the servers you can’t complain about it, ’cause we told you it was a beta”.
Now I don’t want to give the wrong impression, I’m very happy about the work of this particular developers, I find DotD and LotS perfectly enjoyable as a free user and they’re always trying to improve, as witnessed by the weekly patches, the constant changes, the fact that when their players don’t like something they try to fix it or change it according to the common taste. I like this way of managing a game and I think more developers should be like them. But, this “Beta” thing has always been an “anti-refund\anti-complain shield”, and personally I wouldn’t buy a game like Skyrim or whatever if they sold it in beta-version, I don’t think it’s right to ask for money in a beta product. Beta = unfinished. That means mechanics, items, part of the game could be added, removed, changed anytime. That means that I spend money today for something that’s useful today, and tomorrow it may be not that useful anymore. This system is wrong at its roots.

Topic: Dawn of the Dragons / Bugs

I’m not sure if this is a bug or an issue that i’ve got with my flash player; everytime I open DotD or LoTS, the game loads up all the images and stuff from the start, as it were the first time I ever opened them. My flash storage settings allow unlimited space to both the games, bun nonetheless they keep using 0 kb. I’m pretty sure that if I found a way to store the images and animations in a permanent cache the game wouldn’t lag so much for me. I tried using both Chrome and Firefox with no noticeable differences (apart from the last one being slightly faster, especially with DotD). Any clues? Flash Player and the browsers are all updated.

TWO normals that should have been Nightmares. Late hour i guess, I did the same freaking mistake twice. Whatever, one is already gone, here’s the other:

Thanks ZioFeda!

You’re welcome!

I’ve encountered the Rune Dude 3 times and gotten 6 runes to drop. However, when I go to the enchant screen I can plug in any equipment but there are no runes to plug in. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? I’d appreciate a quick response because I’m just getting owned in PVP…

Thanks.

Under “Type” select “Enchantment” and you’ll see the runes. I couldn’t find them in the “all” window, either :)

Topic: Dawn of the Dragons / Bugs

After enchanting some items, i noticed they are still sorted in the inventory as they still had their base stats. It would be nice if the sorting system considered the actual value of the items when sorting per attack, defence or perception :)

Topic: Dawn of the Dragons / Suggestions

Suggestion: implement “Bonus Damage vs Zombie Horde” to the cricket bat. While not changing the balance of the game, you would make that item really epic :D

Topic: Time World / DNS crashed

Same here!

Topic: Time World / Visiting Chest Drop rate changes recently?

Today I got 2 magic books, lots of gems, a blue armor and a PURPLE head, lvl 45 and 50 respectively. I think they made visiting worth the trouble.

Topic: Time World / ships

Or you could use the “salvage” option, that’s actually there for this purpose…you don’t need to delete the design. Just go to “salvage”, select the design you need to scrap, select the number of ships you need to scrap, see how many resources you’ll gain and give the ok.

Topic: Time World / Disappearing Heroes

I wonder if anyone ever kicked an hero by accident.
Anyway, I hope PM will solve this thing. I don’t like to know that tomorrow I may hire a purple hero and lose it with no apparent reason.

how wrong you were lol. the top guy in galaxy 1 has spent more cash on this game this past month than probably anyone else has spent ever :P

You know what, I have to admit my mistake – I actually found out that some players i know have bought a bunch of gold recently. I still have the same opinion about the amount of money involved in the process being quite excessive, but you’re right, cash still flows – even if i don’t know personally the player you’re mentioning.

Topic: Time World / Inflation

I am not a gold player. However, in my opinion, the amount of money required by this “beta” game to be “stronger” was, and still is, frankly insane. I think that PM is going in the right direction – and i’m really sorry for all the people who had THAT much money to throw away for this game, but i really don’t think it was worth it, and surely there is no more people around willing to spend that much on this game.

Topic: Time World / The new Auction system

I agree with those who are pointing out that the system will work in a few time, when the greatest capitals will have been spent.
But personally I DO like consolation prizes and I hope they remain as they are.

Could you pretty please make spying always available?
It shouldn’t matter if someone is in protection, is your friend, ….

1. If you have a revenge and the person is in protection, you can’t spy to figure out if you could win the revenge.
2. When pillar raiding, the people you are matched with can be in protection and can be friends. So it is quite necessary to be able to spy them, so you can figure out who to avoid and who to aim for.

+1

I don’t see a problem with the numbers you posted and they look quite balanced. Unless you are assuming the MF needs to be completely destroyed to count in the win/loss damage loss comparison, which is not true. Eg, if someone’s entire army consist of only 1 MF and it lost 50% of it’s HP during the battle, it will count as 50% damage for that player in the battle report.

Regarding OP’s issue. The issue is not ship class balance, but if someone has MF at 2X,XXX,XXX army power, they usually have much, much higher level ship weapons and devices also, and their hero probably has more equipment and skill upgrades as they have been playing much, much longer to be able to acquire a MF. You can always spy their army first for targets that looks like a revenge trap, or go for players with only 3 planets and less suspicious army to total power ratio instead.

make spy function available even target is under protection or out of range, that’s all.

That.

Topic: Time World / Feedback and Suggestions

I think speed ups should work in percentage and not in minutes. With the current building times it is a joke to find a 5 mins speed up. 5% would be much more useful.

Topic: Time World / The new patch

29 AP —> 2 chests -→ 2 worthless white items.

Topic: Time World / Feedback and Suggestions

I have to say that the latest patch surprised me. A lot. That’s the way, PM, more goods for everyone. Appreciate it. Now i get to spend coupons for skills, so i will be more active trying to earn more coupons. Moreover i will always try to get the “consolation prizes” even when i don’t like the blues in the mall. Good job.

Topic: Time World / Bugs and Glitches

I just had to sell a green lvl 40 item for 0 credits. Don’t know if the rest of the bug described by Alex are applying to me too, i could reclaim the badge rewards with no problem, not sure about the pvp yet.
