Day of Dragons

okay so like... this is one of my fav games problems though. 1: the devs are... VERY money hungry. everything is really overpriced when it comes to expansions and everything. not worth their prices since you can just ask someone to nest you as that dragon and theyll gladly hand over an egg for you to hatch as 2: its got a LOT of bugs and glitches. i get that its early access still, but i feel as if the devs are trying to distract us from the obvious flaws-- that can be easily fixed with time and effort-- and instead throwing more updates out that arent well done and as of late just add skins more than actually fix things. 3: i wasnt even able to TOUCH the main game without it immediately crashing on the LOWEST setting on my old pc from 2022. it was a gaming pc that was barely a year old when i bought the game. i was confined to the Legacy version of the game (which in my opinion is better than this if you want consistency, although its discontinued) now onto the good. 1: its got beautiful graphics, even on low. much detail was put into this, not so much thought... 2: accurate flight- well, not totally accurate of course. its accurate enough that it isnt just flapping up and down like the wings are just a single bone, they actually look like a bird flap. 3: in my personal opinion, the people in Dragons Legacy of the game are very nice. the community isnt overly rude and treats others the same as a normal person would. overall, the game is a solid middle road 5/10 for me. theres a lot of good things in this game and i love playing it just to fly around. but you need a hefty gaming laptop or a good pc to even run the main game. Dragons Legacy is a cheaper and better option in my opinion! its the same game, but just an older version with much better growing, eldering, skins, and system in general. its got lots of different skins and plenty of ways to get them. Dragons Legacy is only $5-ish USD and doesnt require such a beefy computer. if it can run a roblox game, it can run Dragons Legacy.

To say development is moving at a snail's pace would be a massive understatement. There is almost no content. What very small amount of content there is available, a good portion of it is locked behind further paywalls after already purchasing a completely unfinished game. Not to mention the server admins are a joke, and most of what little community is left isn't much better. This developer is completely shameless.

I wish refunding was still available after having it for this long, I’ve been waiting years for good content updates, but most of the content added are just cheap models that are ripped off from other franchises..disappointing.

i never post reviews, but i feel like i should say something about my experience with this "game". tldr; dragon models are garbage, the hud is garbage, and its extremely boring. models the models are awful to look at and the animations are semi-okay but definitely still need work. the models are clunky and soulless. you get the wonderful choice of basing your decision off of thumbnails, which are not even the models themselves but artwork of it. theres no previews, the stat description is confusing to look at with its placement, and more than half of the dragons you could play are grayed out with no description on how to get them? hud as far as the hud goes, its practically non existent. you get a small stamina bar at the very bottom of your screen with some icons off to the right side and a compass at the top but thats about it. cant have a minimap to know where youre going (i get the want to realism but some players, like me, need a map to know which way is up). even a toggle for it to appear would be fine imo. you can open the "character screen", if you can call it that, and see more details but its layout is so.. awful. i couldnt even figure out how to change tabs/make the cursor appear because i just happened to miss the quick pop up for the control. gameplay theres no npc animals for you to hunt and eat as a carno baby, so you have to eat the only thing it lets you. poison mushrooms. cool. it makes you super sick and you cant do anything about it. even then, i dont think it really impacted the health bar at all.. so... whats the point? and, since youre a baby, you cant do anything against the older dragons. while i understand its a pvp type of game, i think this games player base is ridiculous. youve somehow managed to grow past the baby stage, and now youre kosing every baby you come across. wonderful, great job. when you dont know anyone who plays this game/has played this game, it gets super boring, super quick. theres quite literally nothing to do. no tasks like P.O.T., migration quests/markers, nothing.

Half-baked gameplay loop. There's barely anything to do besides PvP, or breeding for stats that you can't use anywhere in PvE. The devs are putting out cash grab DLC dragons and useless skins instead of finishing their game. On top of everything, a lot of dragon designs feel like rip-offs of popular dragons from other media. The flight mechanic is what attracted me initially. It's great in concept, I like the difficulty of it, but very poorly executed. Works great in a straight line, but any other time it feels like piloting a giant plane instead of a dragon. It is not realistic to how a creature with mobile, flapping, wings would fly; the physics behave like plane physics. Performance is meh. Thunderstorms notoriously tank your FPS. Not worth it, DON'T BUY.

I have owned this game for more than 3 years - it is NOT worth it. Jao never keeps to the promises he has made since 1.0 release, there are less than 300 active players, game is HORRIBLY unoptimized (you can barely run on lowest settings with a high end pc, you will get less than 40 fps on a good day) and realistically, there is no content. Hackers THRIVE on the 2 pvp servers that actually have anyone on it, not to mention of the 30 people that migh be on, 25 are likely just 5 people on different alt accounts. Don't make the mistake I did and waste your money, you will regret your decision I promise you. This game had so much potential, but I (like countless others) have lost the patience or respect for Jao and his team who do little to nothing to actually develop this game after the MASSIVE kickstarter funding they received in the beginning.

Хочешь дракошу? -- купи, хочешь скин? -- купи, хочешь анимации? -- купи. Хочешь выживать? -- хер тебе, ведь всё, что там интересного -- образ жизни обычного домашнего кота: жри, пей, спи. Онлайн мертв как мать Габена. Сам я играл в более качественные подобные проекты: Bermuda, The isle, PoT, и могу сказать, что каждый отдельно взятый индивид на уровне альфа версии был более проработан, чем этот кусок доната. Разрабы получают приличные деньги с самих фан донатов, но вместо того, что бы развивать выживание как систему -- добавляют скины, эмоции и бесполезных драконов. Меня до сих пор поражает то, как они оформили дрейка: это просто нищая псина с ядовитой пастью, которую может щимить любой дракончик размером с него самого, ибо наша собачка не умеет летать, что бы хотя бы убежать. Что бы невелировать его ущербность, можно было бы добавить великолепную механику наскока, но если в Бермуде из-за тех. ограниченности в итоге сделали совсем другую систему охоты, то тут просто забьют и оставят так на года 3, пока проект не умрет, а разрабы не будут делать *вумп-вумп* и думать "Что же комьюнити не нравилось?"

Ich habe lange überlegt, ob ich hierzu eine Rezension schreibe oder nicht (ACHTUNG es wird lang): Ich spiele Day of Dragon schon sehr lange und hab die erste Map mitgemacht (Day of Dragons Legacy), Testserver, Testmaps und jetzt aktuell die überarbeitet neue. Ich habe vor Jahren eine Vision gesehen, die ich gefeiert habe und die ich unterstützen wollte. Habe mich aktiv an Feedback und Bugtesting auf den Testservern bemüht, einen eigenen Server gehostet und Spieler gelockt, aus den veröffentlichen Videos deutsche Zusammenfassungen gemacht und jahrelang versucht so gut es ging die Vision zu unterstützen. Spielerisch wie finanziell (Packs gekauft, Patreon etc.). Was ist daraus geworden? Ein Prozess der nun quasi ewig andauert. Ich persönlich sehe kaum Fortschritt, obwohl in letzter Zeit immer wieder kleine Skin Updates kommen. Das Team hört aber leider den Schuss nicht - leere Server, immer unwilligere Spieler.... Seit Jahren wird eine erstklassige Map versprochen mit Biomen, vielen Drachenarten und Dinge zu tun. Es fehlt LEIDER rundum an Inhalten, einer Motivation täglich oder wöchentlich zu spielen. Realistisch besucht man andere Ingame-Freunde, anstelle etwas sinnvolles tun zu können. Skins sind schön, Drachenstats sind schön - aber es wurde uns auch teilweise schon so viel wieder "weg" genommen. Es mussten Systeme zurückgesetzt werden, Bugfixing betrieben und plötzlich war ein 18A++ Drache zu gut und sollte nicht mehr vorkommen. Die Map wurde überarbeitet, alle alten Skins weg, es dauerte ewig bis neue nachkamen. Ich habe mit anderen stundenlang genistet und Stats gezogen, um ein content-leeres Spiel zu füllen. Wartezeiten zwischen etwas "größeren" Inhalten waren teilweise über 1+ Jahre. Mal ein neuer Drache, mal eine Änderung an der Map. Der Early Access geht nun seit fast 7 Jahren (2019). Ich sehe das aus dem Spiel was werden sollte. Was ich mittlerweile sehe ist: Hier ein DLC, dort ein DLC, kaufe dies, kaufe das. JA es muss alles finanziert werden - das verstehe ich. Aber so viele (teilweise teure DLCs 5-15€) für ein absolut unfertiges Spiel. Ich frage mich mittlerweile, ob die Vision die ich gesehen habe noch existiert. Ich habe ca. auf all meinen Accounts zusammen 1000+ Spielstunden. Ich traue mich gar nicht zusammenzurechnen, was mich alles in allem finanziell gekostet hat. Die wichtigste Frage ist natürlich für jeden neuen Spieler - würdest du es kaufen? Jein, mittlerweile eher nicht mehr. Nicht für 20€, nicht für das was betrieben wird. Ich hänge sehr an dem Spiel, an all meiner Arbeit, der Vision. Vom heutigen Entwicklungsstand, würde ich es nicht mehr kaufen (und das bricht mir echt das Herz, aber es ist so). Ich hoffe, dass das Spiel sich erholt, glauben tue ich es grade eher nicht mehr.
