šŸ‰ Dragonspire Overview

So farming levels doesnā€™t provide exp for dragons? Kind of not cool. Almost impossible to level up this 3 star dragon

Apparently I found enough to train one feeder, but I also didnā€™t realize theyā€™d be in such short supply. I hope they pop up from farming world levels, but so far, not much luck, and I have 63 WE. I also have yet to see a feeder dragon drop from a world stage (have played up through 1-9) although there appears to be an area to notify of such drops.

Leveling dragons is going to be a slow-go, at this rate. I did get a few one-star feeders from my first two idle chests. Guess weā€™ll have to see how that loot holds up over time.

This looks like an intentional slow-walk by SGG. Is that so they can work the bugs out with minimal disruption, or so they can frustrate people into spending? Iā€™m not sure either one will truly work.

One thing I like about it is all those speed-ups I got from VIP are now useful for a change. Before I used few for speeding making items for CE, but thatā€™s it. Now I can speed-up building stuff, especially Dragon Tower and production sites that are the key.

They do drop but like 1 in 10 stages. Quite rare for 1* drop.

Good to know itā€™s possible. Thanks.

Also finishing Dragon Dawn episode should hand out 25 or so of them. But I could not do that with just Krio and trainers. Was feasible when I used some gems to get 3*, but still.

So they basically just created a second account. Gave same additional stat boost for the main game.

Time waster! This is so ridiculous and looking into the leaderboard enough brainless spenders

Yeah, I made it through the first 9 stages without failing, but 1-10 did me in badly. Something to look forward to eventually, I guess.

I saw it in beta, starting all over with new skins? For what? No thank you. Hoo just saw theres already people worh all 5* dragons. Wtf

Bit off-topic, I know, but just realized I have dragon avatar for a year!

Thanks for the inside look! Good to knowā€¦

ā€¦just, given the sentiment that Iā€™d heard expressed sometimes before this release that ā€œSG canā€™t afford to get this release wrongā€ and just about the first thing that happens is that the release goes wrong

I imagine a lot of opinion on dragons will turn on just how ā€œoptionalā€ dragons stay. If they wind up mattering (especially significantly) for leaderboard content, but more obviously for PvP, thereā€™s a good chance it will hurt the main game (as one more separation between folks who race to buy 5* dragon everything and those plodding along).

I suppose that might depend on whether SG and its owners decide the dragons are earning ā€œenoughā€ or whether more pressure needs to be addedā€¦. but in this case, making dragons more integral to the base game could very well result in losing money, so SG would be advised to be careful here.

Of course if a lot of folks have the ā€œmeh, donā€™t care about rebuilding base from scratch all over again, if I wanted to do that Iā€™d for start a secondary account, F2P or otherwise, or just play a different gameā€ reaction, increasingly over time, then SGā€™s issue will be why they spent all this time on dragons in the first place.

ā€”

I have to say, as one initial impression, looking at the task ā€œWin a dragon raidā€ with the silly ineffectual starter team, and then the very first raid Iā€™m offered at zero cups is a team full of partly leveled 3* dragons?

Thatā€™s a pretty effective ā€œdonā€™t even botherā€ signal. Iā€™m not gonna burn my paltry dragon!food on rerolls.

Canā€™t say Iā€™m finding this very engaging so far. Even the base game had more early leveling up than this.

Yes, I actually won 2 raids with 3 yellow trainer dragons (lucky draws from chests) :rofl:

The biggest problem I have with this dragon lark: itā€™s supposed to be a game. Pick and play for a bit of fun. The time needed to play all flags across both is a full time job.

Second issue is itā€™s an obvious money grab.

How often do raid energy charge? Currently, mine says 1hr 15mins but Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s every 90mins or 2 hours?

This dragon thingā€¦ I like that the xp applies to leveling up my normal account. The rest i could not care less about.

This entire thing is just unnecessary. Thatā€™s the best way to put it. It serves no purpose.

i hope in time the reverse will be true. the hero you select to ride the dragon in the dragon game gives it unique abilities.

I must admit, I was struggling with raids and missions with 4 2* trainer heroes, they die way too fast and easily, so I bought the Dragon pass for Ā£9.99 so I could get the 500 silver coins, and got myself 5 new heroes, now itā€™s easier.

But I do really like the tile gameplay with those on the sides that fire 9(?) tiles when you match them. Especially when they trigger a combo, it can kill bosses and mobs fast

Donā€™t like it. I have read this argument multiple times that this game on top of the main game is optional, but what it does is costing immense development resources that could have been spent to create really engaging content for the main game, fixing things, improving gameplay, balancing, QoL and so on.

I donā€™t have time and money to sink into this slow grind and build up of a second castle. Maybe Iā€™ll visit this spinoff a couple of times to see what I can do but actually spending? No thanks.

It even made me cutting my spending on the main game from now on because I am disappointed at the lack of inspiration this move by SG has shown. F2P for me now.
