Is this privat Server supposed to be worse than the original ?

I really like the normal exp rate and all that but its kinda ridiculous that there is like no useful free things in the cash shop (except some useless hairstyles) and that you are really getting nothing. Its kinda hard to play the dungeons alone so at least some suprise boxes you can open for example every 5 levels would be cool (most privat servers do that and without putting op stuff in there). This dont feel like a privat server more like the old bad and grindy dragonica. Or did i miss something ?

You can obtain almost everything in the game without paying any money; there are also some things being worked on to provide more avenues of earning free cash items and the like, but they are still in the works as they are brand new to the game.

There is a lot of development going on behind the scenes before we can do anymore major updates.

• We're currently testing the new skill system that will allow for separate PvP and PvE version of the same skill, for better balancing
• Fiso is writing a document for proposed character balancing
• We're moving towards the initial development phase for features such as the VIP system, that will allow players to receive daily login rewards

A lot of things are happening, but many of them are slow as it needs to be done properly so as to not take more time in the long run.

This server is the best one, and im really against p2w p2f or all shit you'r not impacted by cash shop here.

Except for exp from 70+ to 80 i dont see exp grind you can easly find ppl for lavalon or aram and geared ppl try to do daily can make free run for looting boss weap.

The only bad point i can tell is RNG but i hope they will find a way to resolve.

I wanted to make a statement on this thread in-case anyone else comes here and gets confused about these statements as they are not a real reflection of the server at all, there are bounty exchange machines placed in every single town map, and outside every single major dungeon, i placed all of these machines by hand so that people would not miss them i also gave them a custom minimap icon.

These machines combined with the bounty quests are the essential system for free 2 play to get all "cash shop" related items.
Insurance scrolls are available at daisy, f5 missions give you insurance scrolls and dust for free..

enchant has been completely overhauled and you can +5 any weapon easily without even thinking and this already is quite a boost in damage compared to "vanilla" because the way enchant is applied to weapons is also adjusted. there are milestone enchants that will cost more dust but will always be 100% success rate. is that really "worse?" than vanilla

you get a level 20 armor set that even carries you through lavalon

you don't get boosted equipments that let you skip from lvl 1 to 80 because we aren't trying to make a game that you don't have to play or put effort into there are already 100's of servers that offer this, we have no motive to offer "another one" and it is a complete conflict of interest between ourselves and what we want to shape Dragonica / Dragon Saga to be

we have removed so so many Pay to Win mechanics, we have made already many adjustments to progression and the way gameplay is scaling

it's not perfect and has many many flaws but it is a start, and already a lot better than what we started with (Vanilla)

We will continue to make improvements to our server but to call it worse than vanilla is so illogical, original locked enchant systems behind paywalls

we literally
literally give you everything you need (and a bit more) for free.

our exp rate is x1.2 the original, so its not a huge difference but you can't call that "worse"
we have completely revised major quest lines and buffed their exp rates, all of our mission modes now give a lot more exp than vanilla through enchanted mobs and this exp bonus scales with x2 pot and beans which, guess what? you can get very easily for free.

I feel like your expectations of what a private server should be has been tainted with easy mode servers that offer little to no gameplay changes or core revisions and simply want to make a lot of money with low effort.

We are not trying to be a worse version of the official game, we are trying to improve it and make it a lot lot better.
and we have already started doing so.

I know this seems like it has become more of a rant, but i really really do not want people to get the wrong impression of our server, because someone joined and barely played and quickly jumped to conclusions without really asking or looking at all the information we have provided in patch notes and fully written documents detailing everything we have done and will do in the future.

souls have been made more available by being added into chaos missions as monster drops in boxes.
you also have a custom quest to get a special ring that gives more souls from destroying equipment.
