I think the game is supposed to go into open test today, would you happen to know what time it will go into open test. If not, do you know what time it went into open test last time so I know when it could possibly happen?

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. For open tests, there usually aren't specific times given and the time the previous test went live doesn't predict much; they go live when ready! But, in case you hadn't already noticed, it's open now!

great video! do you mind sharing your graphics settings? I always have a hard time playing due to my game lagging out when i boot it up and i’m unsure of what graphic settings to have for the best performance. :/

@SyIvanix 20 күн бұрын

Hi, thank you! I believe I recorded this video with most settings on high and a few on beawesome. This was recorded on a version of the future 1.0.1 update, which will have (for most people) a much improved performance compared to 1.0.0! So that may already help you with your performance issues. Other than that, view distance is VERY heavy, followed by lighting quality, foliage settings, shadow quality and anti aliasing. So if you're looking to balance performance, I'd start with lowering those in that order :)

There's also PvP, of course. Then pick a server that's in/near your region :) Official servers don't have many rules whereas private servers can set their own rules, it's really personal preference which one you want to pick.

How have they managed to make this more tedious than flying around fighting over rare mushrooms… I wish it were a challenge of your skills, like flying through rings or a cave and doing it without crashing / in a certain amount of time rewards you with a tick. It could utilize your dragons skills like setting targets on fire, or locating a certain amount of cloaked ai SS as the FS. Obviously it would need a cooldown, but at least it improves your skill at the game and rewards you for it. Both iterations have been so mindless, convoluted, and easily camped.

@bartman156. 21 күн бұрын

Well, first you have to find a good crystal and then have to be able to defend yourself from other players in order to use it, I'd say that requires skill. Plus this is probably only the first step and there's probably more things you'll need to do.

Thank you for this video; it's very thorough and informative! Does the weather or time of day affect the crystals? Do they have a cool-down timer? Maybe someone used that green crystal you were talking about, and it needed time to warm up again. Do they respond to different calls or a mix of calls, maybe? Does charge shooting them activate them (unlikely since only 2 dragons can charge)? My thoughts: bad idea. Large Clans will camp them, especially in caves, and kill off solo players or players from smaller Clans. Although the passive tick is annoying and the mushrooms were grindy, at least solo players could get elders from them. Here, you need to sit for a full minute screaming at a rock, giving your adult who has some progress a chance at being charge-shot by an SS or bitten to death by an IR or FS. This is especially true of ASDs, which can be one-hit by elder SSs you wouldn't have seen. Even if you get away, by the time you come back, it's changed color and locked you out. Remember even a 99% elder dragon has all the defenses/weaknesses of an adult. Not to spamming mention loud calls is annoying. People can also use their elders or throw away adults to grief servers by finding these statues and activating them then abandoning them, artificially locking them so no one can elder their dragon. A better solution would be to make eldering time-based like growing. 5 hours of game time = 5 hours of elder progress. This forces players to use their dragons and encourages them to play the game. It rewards people for putting their dragons in danger in PvP and it works on PvE. While my SS that has been through hell and back might only have 3.8% elder, someone else's elder SS could have done absolutely nothing but sit in a cave since it was nested in and then log in once every 12 hours.

@SyIvanix 25 күн бұрын

Thank you for the kind words! I can address some of your questions / concerns: So far I've not paid close enough attention to time of day or weather to know for certain whether or not this plays a role. I'm definitely keeping an eye out for it. Most of the time when I was playing I was alone on the server, which is helpful because I know no one else touched the crystals. When a crystal does explode, it will turn off, so someone else coming by would simply be able to see that the crystal won't work. So far no emotes other than one-calls have worked for me though I'll admit I don't always try all of them on each crystal. For the update, the crystals will be more spread out over the map and there should be more of them too. That will at least make it hard for clans to camp all of them. I don't think it will be easy to prevent the entire server from eldering - though they can certainly make it harder (but maybe that's part of the pvp game). So far I haven't found a way to deactivate a crystal - just change the color, and multiple crystals can be active at the same time. I honestly don't understand the system enough yet to say if it can be easily camped or not. There may be layers to it I'm still unaware of that make camping harder than it seems right now. There do seem to be some risks, but I know the devs are aware of the camping issue with mushrooms so for now I'm holding out hope that they have improved on this with the crystal method. We'll have to see!

@VenomQuill 25 күн бұрын

@@SyIvanix Thank you for answering my question! That seems odd only the 1-call would work. I really like the fs 3-call; it sounds like laughter. The blitz 5-call is pretty goofy. Just mate-calling the crystal for a minute would be funny and break up the monotony of it! I hope having them that spread out will help. My main concern about camping isn't that one Clan will always be on all crystals at all times (that's impossible), but that they may be on a few and will elder all of their dragons easily, and then just find the others and patrol them, preventing others from eldering their dragons. Even if other Clans could defend against said Clan, a solo player wouldn't be able to defend against multiple people. I don't think they had PvP/solo people in mind while coming up with this idea. However, it doesn't *hurt* to be optimistic, right? The meta will change, and so I guess we'll need to change with it. Maybe the devs will shorten the roar-time or add different calls or recall it altogether soon. Maybe they'll add a debuff to camping the crystals. For example, if you sit by a crystal for too long you'll lose HP and/or get a hit to your speed/damage output/stamina regen/bile regen/some other stat, and on top of all that you start glowing that crystal's color so people can see you. Really only time will tell.

Is it possible that the crystal's colour indicates what weather it needs to be used in? That way yellow could be sunny, blue, rain, purple maybe a thunderstorm, red possibly a sand storm and white fog and so on. I don't know if there are enough different weather types for that to work tho, so maybe the time of day matters too? E.g. yellow for sunny day, green for clear sky with the aurora at night and light and dark blue for rain at day and night.

What im concerned about is how competitive it is going to be. If someone explodes a crystal can another dragon explode it immediattely or do they need to wait? Because if the crystals need time to recharge and cannot be shared then it will be no better than the mushroom method. Solo players will struggle with eldering because clans will kill anyone who comes close to the crystals.

@SyIvanix 25 күн бұрын

The specifics are still not really clear to me, but I know that camping was a concern for the developers as well so I expect an improvement over mushrooms. What I do know is that after a crystal explodes, it deactivates - can't be used until it turns on again which they seem to just do when they feel like it. There's also a theory/assumption that everyone in the area will get a tick when a crystal explodes. Though I currently don't know what the range for this is. But that could greatly help prevent camping. Multiple crystals can be active at one time and in the live game, there will be more crystals and they'll be more spread out over the map. So clans will likely have a hard time defending all of them

@dubmcz 25 күн бұрын

possibly bugged. The only ticks that you received in the video were purple. maybe the bug has to do with the changing of colors after the crystal fails or the timer runs out, maybe and if you received a tick from a different color crystal, it "was" purple before it changed color on the outside.

@SyIvanix 25 күн бұрын

A fair point! But if you watch from 06:25, you'll see I received ticks from a white and green crystal as well. As well as a white and green crystal that I made glow but not explode and (many) purple & magenta crystals that didn't respond to me. If there were bugs, I wouldn't know of course - so it's possible. But considering how early this still is I think it's much more likely for now that we simply don't fully understand the system yet, rather than having run into a ton of bugged crystals already ;)

@pineapple_of_doom4646 25 күн бұрын

Perhaps the individual crystals have a cooldown? If another dragon came to a crystal, used it, then left shortly before you attempted the same crystal, the cooldown timer could have still been running when you got there- leading to the crystal temporarily not reacting to you, for a time. To be honest, I have no idea how busy your server was, so you'd have to decide for yourself if there was enough activity for this to be plausible xd (or, if the crystals have a long cooldown? Could they have something like a five minute cooldown, or is it closer to the hour it took elder mushrooms to respawn?) I also wonder if the entire system could be color-based, with each species being able to get a reaction out of only some colors- perhaps the colors that more powerful dragons, e.g. flame stalker and inferno ravager, can use to elder are rarer in an attempt to keep too many op elders from coming into existence? I remember flame stalkers needing more elder mushrooms than the other species to elder, perhaps with that intention in mind. It'd be fun if certain crystals only activated at certain times, or certain weathers- it'd definitely give the system an added layer of complexity xd

@SyIvanix 25 күн бұрын

Loads of great thoughts here! So regarding a cooldown; I didn't mention it specifically, but a crystal does turn 'off' (lose its color/rumbly noise) once it explodes. So it likely has some sort of cooldown until it can activate again, but others would be able to see that it's not active. A lot of the time when I was testing things out, I was also basically alone on the server - which is actually rather helpful in this case because I know someone else didn't do something with a crystal while I was away ;) You make a really good point that the colors a dragon has access to may have to do with the class of a dragon, like the mushrooms did - that hadn't crossed my mind yet but it would be a good way to make eldering larger/more powerful dragons a bit slower if they have less colors or rarer colors to choose from. Overall great ideas! I definitely need to keep my eyes open regarding time/weather as well with how some crystals sometimes activate and other times don't. And thanks for watching :D
