What's new

Old DP player

Hello! I realized i haven't made an introduction post even tho i've actually been on here for a little while.
I used to play Dragon's Prophet frequently because i was trying to get as much title-granting dragons as i could, but then the server closing thing happened and it kinda stung because i got attached to my dragons (rip Elelenedh ?, my "starter" fabled ancient from a log-in reward thing). Back then my pc wasn't very strong so there was quite the lag.

But here i am now, with a better setup than before! and i still have it as a funny goal to get dragons that give titles, especially the fabled ancient ones.

Announcement Developer Update We would like your opinion!

Hello AdeptGamers,

As most of you are going to be aware about our indefinite hiatus, I think now is a good time to ask for your feedback for our rework of the server (no data when).

We would like your general feedback and have 2 more questions. You can post all of this here.

What were you missing while playing on this server?
What do you think do all Dragonica/DragonSaga servers need, which most of them if not all lack?

We are looking forward to your responses.

Bug Report Solved Title for Midnight Massacre is gone

While scrolling through the titles, I realized that the title of Midnight Massacre is missing. I know that I got the title when I captured it.

Others still seem to have the title. I guess its a bug with my char. I already tested to reegg the dragon with an instant egg, but it didnt work.

As you can see on the screenshot I have the dragon, but the title is not in the list (it should be in this range of the titles).

Would be nice if I could get the title back, due to it giving nice bonus stats...

Bug Report Solved Strengthen the Magic Circles

Anyone else having an issue completing this quest, "Strengthening the Magic Circles", in Thadrea - Silt Marsh?

I've tried multiple times, and I'm sure I have the circle location as it's the only other spot in Silt Marsh with these vertical poles in a circle like this. The other 2 spots I found worked just fine, but this one isn't working.

Any help is appreciated.

Developer Update A small development update

This is a small update, so people have an idea of what is currently going on with development.

Our current priority is fixing bug reports from beta testing. So far, we have fixed a few critical bugs, and are currently looking at fixing a few others before we can move forward into finalizing testing for the source update. A lot of the bugs are related to data conflicts, as the source code is not quite up to date with the client, so we are having to make the necessary changes to support newer data, and to also make sure everything is implemented as intended. We are also making some improvements and changes as they come up if needed, but the initial source release will mostly be for functional parity, and quality of life improvements.

We are also looking at how we will re-implement the Logistic Merchants for Territory War; the current system has a lot of points of failure for how it is implemented, and it'll be easier to just change how it is handled completely rather than fixing the existing system. Now, how we do that exactly has not been completely decided. This will be our focus after the critical issues with source are completed.

The last development priority for us is finishing up plans for implementing a new spawning system for Dragons. This has been something that we had planned before Savage Hunt was leaked but it is going to be a separate system from the roaming Dragons, Dungeon spawns or Dragons spawned from public events, so it required more planning. The general idea is that we will randomly spawn Dragons throughout major zone maps throughout the day, and they will be randomly selected from the majority of Marketplace Dragons; we are also planning on releasing a lot of Dragons that could previously not be captured, or new Dragons from contests or submitted concept art. In total I think there will be a total of at least 20+ Dragons as of this moment, but that will change between now and the release of this update. We currently do not know if we will need source code for the full implementation, so this may or may not come out before or after the source code update is completed.

Other than development there are a few other things that are either underway or going to be underway soon.

The first of which is that I have setup a wiki that we had previously used but found it did not fully fit our needs at the time. It has gotten much better since the last time we looked at it, and so far, it should make setting up an Adept specific wiki much easier. If you are interested in helping with the wiki, you can apply to be an editor or contributor. I am going to see about getting support added for our credit system, though this will likely be in the future.

Secondly, we have decided on a course to take for our translation platform troubles. The issues we have had so far are the platforms available either too expensive (you can read a breakdown here: Bug Report - Names of exclusive dragons), do not support automated updating of strings, or simply cannot handle the number of strings that Dragon's Prophet currently has (~277,000, with almost 3million words). Because of this we are going to use some of the work we put towards our data tools web app version and look at making a translation platform specifically for Dragon's Prophet. This will pull some development time away from other things, but non-English speaking players being without strings has been bothering me for a while.

There will likely be some more announcements soon, at the very least there are a few more Dragons we will be announcing, and likely another development update or update related to one of the other points above.

Announcement Indefinite Hiatus

Due to some recent events in Fisolino's life as well as his upcoming University schedule we have decided that it is best to officially put our Dragon Saga server on indefinite hiatus. There have also been some changes to team structure over the last year, and we have had to re-assess some of the plans we had originally had in place as it was either too much for a smaller team, or we wanted to approach things differently. We are hoping within the time the server is on hiatus Fisolino will be able to deal with the things he needs to deal with, as well as allow us to re-assess and re-organize how we wish to do things. It should also give us some time to train or recruit some new people to help spread the workload more than it had been before.

Our current plans are to leave the server up, and do restarts when things begin to get buggy (basically what we have been doing); Cash purchases will be disabled though we will look at doing something about how to get Market items. Eventually we will shut down the server, however that will be when we've got a better foundation and plan available and will start the server over then.

Bug Report Solved Unable to send Friendship Gift to some friends

I'm not sure why, but about a week ago I started getting an Unable to send gift error when trying to send gifts to a specific friend. Now, I'm getting the error for multiple friends. I get a different error, but similar when sending a marketplace gift. The first screenshot below is sending a regular gift and the second one is sending a marketplace gift (see the red box for the specific error language).

Hello

Hey there,

Just wanted to introduce myself quickly. I'm a longtime DP player. I played NA pretty much from the month the servers went live, switched to EU after NA closed, and I'm here now. Sad to have seen the official servers close (twice, lol), it was such a great concept for a game, but I'm selfishly happy to be able to continue playing.
