Why aren't people playing this DRAGON game ? | Draconia

[@NLance]

Draconia is the example why gameplay matters. The world might be pretty. The model and animation might be good. But without direction and gameplay? The game just dies. The game needs... - A map, minimap - Better tutorial. Do NOT slap a lot of text in front of people. Make the tutorial interactive. - The tutorial should show how to get quests. - Quest page needs to show image of quest item and objective + approx location - NPCs, questgivers - To quit giving 'collect X of X useless boring item'. Think up better quests. - To make leveling up mean more than just make your dragon bigger and stronger - To implement actual MMO mechanics in general if you really wanna be MMO. - To reduce price heavily to convince people to play it Right now, the game is barely a game. It is a glorified chatroom with pretty models and a pretty map. Has zero interesting gameplay, no gameplay loop, no goal, no nothing.

[@demonicsapphire3773]

That's most of these mmo animal survival games unfortunately. Glorified chatrooms with very little gameplay and empty worlds.

[@NLance]

@@demonicsapphire3773 The only other animal MMO I know of is Path of Titans. And it has waaaaaaaaaay more features than this empty hollow has.

[@crusaderpr7683]

i play this game on 2022 on march and it still looks awful lol i remember that i reported the game to steam because it simply was too early and people where not mentioning that it was in very early alpha stage like how the Fu@K does any of the devs thought that releasing the game super early was a great idea?

[@albytross8681]

To be fair, a lot of these simulation players come from the good ol days of Feralheart, which was LITERALLY just a 3D chatroom where you’re either a lion or a wolf. Animal jam energy. Except there wasn’t even mini games to do or anything

[@NLance]

@@albytross8681 But that game wasnt advertised to be anything else. It was a game to make a character, to chat with others and to roleplay. Especially roleplay. But Draconia is supposed to be an MMO game. And it lacks 99% of the features it is supposed to have.

[@TheDevilTwins]

I won't be touching this game until its actually complete and i see what state its in then. The person that made this game also made archotek project, or whatever its called. A cartoon style dino game that they completely abandoned and didn't finish. I paid for that game, so I'm not going to make the same mistake again and pay for this one UNTIL it's complete. Specially when its so damn expensive for what it actually is. Not worth the price tag right now. Was around £30+ last time i checked. I can't put my trust in a developer when they've already abandoned one game already.

[@o0Sazie0o]

Same, I'm waiting as well and I don't trust them either. I'd rather watch someone that plays it when it's complete, before I decide on it.

[@gwit4051]

They did actually lower the price to 20 bucks recently, which is like 16 pounds if google's correct. I personally still don't think it's worth it from the gameplay I've seen, but at least it is not laughably overpriced.

[@o0Sazie0o]

@@gwit4051 It is still close to 30 bucks over here with taxes, so still overpriced but different regions have different tax added. I just recently checked steam to see if it lowered but not by much.

[@anthonyfaiell3263]

It would be nice if people STARTED with this type of mindset. But I can at least applaud you for learning from a single past mistake. Too many people just keep buying unfinished games, complaining, and then thinking it's going to be different next time and repeating the cycle.

They aren't playing it because there's nothing there to play. It has even slower development than the isle.

[@laurad258]

Thats Possible??😂😂

[@splitdragon3004]

Personally I don't play it due to the abandonment/scamming involved in their previous game. It looks nice, but once a company does something shady I don't touch any of their other games in the future. The devs farmed one of their previous games called Archotek, selling the game for more than it was worth and banned players that were warning people that the game was abandoned under the excuse of "we are working on it". Plot twist, they didn't they had it high price until they got review bombed and lowered the price to 99 cents (still to expensive) they delivered none of their promises for the game and scammed thousands of people by abandoning the game and using the money they got from that project on Draconia. They will never admit that they were scamming and will constantly deny and claim it just didn't work out even though the game was doing decently until they abandoned it under the disguise of a public hiatus to focus on the games development at their own pace. But it was Levia Draconia (the lead of Draconia) that created Archotek out of spite towards the isle due to being fired (and broken up with) and scammed those people for the money to work on Draconia. Buying Draconia would be like buying a game made by the developer of Stomping Lands. Its a losing gamble and they shouldn't be trusted until they prove they can finish the basics of a functional game, they are proven scammers and game abandoners.

[@vertraeumtemoewe]

Let’s hope they maybe don’t do this anymore. It is kinda hard and you hear everywhere in that genre that the devs do this.. it’s kinda understandable but also sad. *me looking angry at DoD*. Let’s hope. I guess I will have a look into Draconia if they have finished the game

[@splitdragon3004]

@@vertraeumtemoewe DoD hasn't abandoned their game and run off with the money yet like the Draconia devs have done before. I believe you missed the whole point of this comment. Draconia isn't finished, its barely a game and Draconia has a history of scamming people then running with the money

[@XKINGDobie]

[@mustard9808]

Holy shit, yeeeees! I was wondering if I was the only person out there that knew this information. I literally wrote up a whole video to call them out for it, but they got a staff member of the server to message me and do a sort of "crowd control," make me feel good by promising to unban me. I don't think they ever did. So yeah I paid $20 for Archotek, got banned from the Steam page for saying Draconia will end up the same way, and then banned from the Discords of Archotek and Draconia because they recognized my Steam name from my Discord name, they were the same. They know what they're doing.

[@pasteldreams5413]

Ever since I was a kid, I've always wanted a dragon survival game. Seeing all these games come out now as an adult is a dream come true. I would have absolutely eaten all of these games up as a child, like I did with The Isle when it initially came out. But my standards are much higher now. I need good flight that doesn't feel floaty, good animations, and a solid gameplay loop that isn't boring. Most importantly, I need a map that doesn't feel empty. So far, no dragon game has achieved all of these things, Draconia included, so I haven't bothered with it or any others. The Wings of Dawn seems the most promising to me and I am keeping an eye on it, but all the other dragon games are forgettable, even despite how badly I've wanted games like them since I was a kid.

[@mikeruiz7846]

Another one worth keeping your eyes on is the Dragon Game Project(the name is def a placeholder xd)There already are some vids showcasing the game so far

[@katshi8197]

I really hope that the developer of Dragontwin can finish the game.

[@DraconiaGame]

Thanks for checking out our game again! The KZbin search is unfortunately not always accurate. We noticed a lot of videos don't show up in the search especially if they have been uploaded by small KZbinrs. It often takes a while to find these. We are not sure what the minimum requirements are for these content creators to show up in the search results but if they are on our Discord they can share their videos there. Draconia is not an MMO but an MORPG. MMOs are made to support a way larger amount of players per server and we are not going for that. The current maximum amount is 60 players per server and we are building it to allow people to play it solo or in small groups rather than large raids. Btw the clams can always be found in the sand piles. Some of them are just rarer than others. If you prefer the survival aspect, people host PvP only/survival servers but combat is currently the weakest part when it comes to the characters themselves but will be tackled in the future.

[@RPGTKingpin]

@@zathtanks MMO and MO are a difference in scale. MMORPG is Massively Multiplayer Online RPG. MORPG is just Multiplayer Online RPG [as opposed to Multiplayer Offline RPG which would have been your oldschool splitscreen multiplayer games you used to play on consoles before online games became a thing]. MMOs usually have player counts in the hundreds or thousands [example: World of Warcraft servers.] MORPGs in contrast tend to range between 24 and 120, with the really ambitious ones going for 200 [The Isle has been trying to push for that, though so far every example I've heard of has been extremely laggy and unreliable.] Hopefully this has clarified the conversation for you.

[@1000papercuts]

I've been playing this game on and off for a good long while now. I've been on their discord for even longer. I have 121hrs on this game, I know that other long time players have way more but I think I can give a pretty good opinion on Draconia. Before my thoughts on this game are read, I want it to be known that I do like this game and look forwards to it making real progress. Pros- Visually, this game is really gorgeous to look at. The map is nice and is using assets that they have made themselves. The flora and fauna are all original and works cohesively with the dragons. Which is a nice change from other dragon and dino games (where bright fantasy vibes come in) feel odd and very much out of place to the world they are set in. Beautiful models. Not just the playbles and soon to be NPCs but also the plants and buildings. Which isn't much of a surprise as the main dev is an artist. The community is pretty small but it is also a nice one. If you want help in-game, you will often find it either with players that are logged in or if you go to the discord. Keep in mind that the player base does feel younger so older players, like myself, feel a little out of place. Lots of update pings in the discord. Most of these updates are about remodelling and texture at the moment. As I was writing up this comment, they put up a ping for the trello board. Plenty of things on the map to gather for XP. You can carry low level/ small characters. The photo mode is something I typically find quite fun to mess around with. Fast travel. You need to find and activate each gate/ waystone in order to use them. You will also need to memorise the names of the locations. Flight system. Most of the other players really like the way flight is handled in this game. For me though I'm used to fast paced flying games with a highly responsive flight system and everything feels snappy and sharp. I'm putting this as a pro because the majority of the player base really like it. Cons- Game play is extremely bare bones. There is hunger and thirst but it is only really something to worry about as a low level/ slow moving character. Eating and drinking feels like it's simply there for the sake of it. Personally I think it would be better to not have these things as a "need" but something that you can do as a interaction with the environment. No kind of indication on where to go to find anything and what to do. A new player has ZERO clues on where to go for getting quests, let alone where on the map to go to fulfil those quests. Having to rely on experienced players is pretty bad. This really is my biggest gripe about this game. Visual indicators on a map are a very important element for MORPGs and this game has none. There's no mini map in game. Yes, there is a map that was made by a player on the discord but there is nothing in the game itself. Personally I think that adding quest markers is a bigger priority than remodelling more playable creatures, simply so new players can actually get started without NEEDING to ask other players and then they may feel a bit happier about staying around to keep up with progress. Using fast travel can be a pain if you find it hard to memorise location names and where they are in relation to each other. Questing is biased against land dragons. Most of the dragons fly but there are also a few that don't. As a low level land dweller, questing is a very slow grind. It's almost to the point that it's painful. You can level up so much faster as a flyer than you can as a land based dragon. One hour on a flyer feels much nicer and productive than an hour on the others. The location of the quest givers and their quests take a long time to get to. I don't know if it is planned to have some smaller and easier to reach quests for those that are small, slow and can't fly. I enjoy playing as flyers AND as the land ones, but I feel punished when I pick something that can't fly. Most of my hrs in this game have been spent on trying to level up said land dwellers. Fear of abandonment. The devs worked on a dinosaur game previously. That game was abandoned in favour of working on this one. When devs (in general) do this, they have cast a shadow that wont leave them until they have actually completed a couple games afterwards. As MORPGs are not small and simple games to make, this shadow is going to take a long time to leave. I know the dev team is small and works on the game in their spare time and can't pump out as much work as a fulltime team. I'm just stating that in the world of game development, ditching a game that you've not finished but have put up for sale, leaves a very hard to remove stain on your game portfolio. I last played in Nov 2023 so I don't know first hand if any of my things listed under "cons" have been updated. I will have to play again soon, if it is only to test out the new playable.

[@Pixelifications]

Hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts! Helpful for me as someone who has wanted to try the game since it's debut on Steam but has still held off due to general skepticism. The flight system seems to be a bit underwhelming to me and I noticed you mentioned other games you've played with a more "snappy" or responsive flight. When you have the time, could you suggest any titles for me to check out? I love games with good flight mechanics but they seem so few and far in between. Two favorites of mine as a guiding example would be the Griffon flight in Guild Wars 2, as well as the "realistic flight" mod for Ark (and the base-game flight style of the griffons.) Cheers mate! :)

[@dragondoghorse]

I personally like the chill flying-as-a-creature games, and my favorite mythical creatures are dragons. But when I saw some of the gameplays of Draconia here on KZbin, the flying mecanics were a huge turn down for me. If they had been the same or better than Days of Dragons, I might have bought it just for the thrill of flying as a dragon around the map. But now that I know the scam history behind the development of this game, I don't think I'll ever will.

[@midnaphai]

Check out Century: Age of Ashes. The flying in this game feels amazing, it's fast paced pvp don't know how much of the pve is done yet but the game was a lot of fun ^^

[@TAiiNE]

I do play it but at the moment its like a gflorified chat room. You can level your dragon in 2 hours killing crabs (I';ve sped run challenged myself a few), no point in doing any of the quests. And once you hit 50 there's not much to do outside roam around, farm tuns of mats and maybe build something that needs to be upkept often or it decays. But it is in pre alpha, so its expected atm that there isn't much, they are focusing on getting the dragon models down and the mechanics before focusing on gameplay and level design. So in that it makes sense, we just have a very, VERY early access to it.

[@gwit4051]

Because the gameplay looks ass, especially the flight system. I can only see myself playing this game if it goes on a massive sale or if they make the flying look waaaay less awkward.

[@vertraeumtemoewe]

Huh, what are you talking about? The game looks beautiful. The flying system one maybe might not be for you, but the graphic thing I don’t understand. For me it’s going to be on the Wishlist and maybe someday I will look into it. Depends on content. Like Käto I like survival a bit more. But the game itself looks good

[@gwit4051]

@@vertraeumtemoewe I said gameplay, not graphics. Graphically it looks nice, but from what I've seen the main thing you do in the game is go around doing Path of Titans-esque quests, which is extremely boring. And with the flight also looking boring, not even the downtime between quests would be engaging. It's a pretty game, but it does not look like a fun game.

[@cfowler7936]

@@gwit4051 There's a crab that spits icey plumes which is neat. Matches the range attacks players have to keep them a threat. Won't call that a game saver but its a nice feature.

[@trickywitchez]

I think it's worth adding more types of dragons. for example, it would be cool to control a sea dragon. He would be able to swim quickly, but let’s say he wouldn’t be able to fly, but jumping out of the water and being nimble in it would compensate for that (well, plus, he could go out onto land..). Next, I would make a gradation in the sizes of the dragons. Perhaps the creation of smaller but faster dragons. Small dragons would be more agile and, for example, would gain speed faster. But large specimens, on the contrary, are slow to gain speed, but they can rise high and, when diving, gain shocking speed! In general, I would increase the flight speed in this game, it seems like the dragons don't fly, they swim in jelly...

[@aspen_dragon]

great video!!!!! i honestly really love draconia so far and i know a lot of people don't want to invest or regret buying it because it's still in pretty early stages of development with few real gameplay elements and the devs could simply stop working on it at any time BUT. the flight mechanics and the dragon models and animations are seriously top tier in my opinion and as someone who has always very badly wanted to experience the feeling of flying as a dragon this game has given me immense enjoyment for over two years now! :) i would certainly be very sad if development was randomly halted, as i think the game has a lot of potential, but frankly i'm not worried; the devs are super active in their discord server and updates are always being shared, patches have been constantly added for all of the time i've owned the game, a full, detailed roadmap of all planned features has been posted, and even beyond that, as an enormous dragon fan, the game has already been worth the $35 i spent on it. PLUS the community is very kind and cool in my experience and even though i don't really know anybody that well it's always easy to hop on and make conversation while you explore :3

[@sevvy3008]

im really hopeful that Draconia will eventually be similar to Istaria which is why I have supported them, Istaria is such a cool game, I grew up with it, however, its older graphics style is in need of an update and Draconia is hopefully that!

[@queendracodharriott]

Its got great mechanics and looks graphically pleasing for sure! I tried it out for myself a few years back, but haven't returned because not much has happened yet.

[@echotrash466]

For me, I'm just waiting on passive growth so that I don't have to try and figure out how to level up instead of just growing up like a living creature. Also, you rarely see people play the land based creatures, like the naga serpent looking dragon. Probably cuz it's a bit slow and it can't fly and see where to go. I rarely play cuz everything is slow. Sure the map is pretty, sure the dragons are also just as pretty, but I want a fun experience. Also, farming crabs to me is very boring, especially when you don't got a clue where they even are. Plus, the collectable things are not client sited, and that means that you may have to wait eons before something respawns and hope that nobody else is trying to collect the same thing.

[@Crazy_Sue]

I looked at it back in the day, and I too thought it was a survival game, but it's not. So I'll pass. All I want is a dragon survival game. Let me explore a big open world, (with map and mini map!), hunt other dragons/creatures, and nest in my friends as baby dragons to raise. I want to see my own dragon flight take to the skies and defend our territory from other flights. I want to sit atop a mountain ridge and look down over my territory with my husband (who I met playing dinosaur survival games) and watch the sun set as our brood fly off to make their own territories and flights. That is what I want. but, when we had a chance for that... we got Day of Dragons...... a scam.

I bought Draconia during a steam sale awhile back, played it for about 10 minutes wondering where the tutorial was, and refunded as soon as I tried flying. Flight and gliding is a huge part of the enjoyment of being a dragon and you really have to get those physics right to immerse players. Maybe the game will improve later on in development (IF it gets developed, given what happened to Archotek), but right now Draconia is absolutely not worth any price higher than $5. Instead I'm keeping my eyes on Wings of Dawn and Path of Titans' dragon mods, since all the other attempts at dragon games seem to have dishonest developers or various other issues.

They cant get on console because their dev is known for abandoning games

[@towballbamford575]

@splitdragon3004 im just saying it's why I reckon path of titans is doing so well because not many of these monster survival type games come to console

[@splitdragon3004]

@@towballbamford575 To go on console you need to prove that your game does well. Draconia was created by a dev that scams and abandons games, so they cant go to console

[@towballbamford575]

@splitdragon3004 I fully agree mate im just dying in general games that play like this I think would do better on console I don't mean this game specifically but I agree with you

[@DextersAprentis]

It’s looks absolutely gorgeous but the flight mechanics are not as good as day of dragons. I hope both games continue to grow

[@_rakia_921]

Because there is simply plenty of better looking animal survival games, with much better environment and animations... so I will probably play it, when it evolves a little bit more.. plus like you said, its like Path of titans, but without the tension of the survival pvp..

[@justintaylor4076]

Thiers just is not the emphasis on the models and senes alone. In a video game, you have a multi-directional thing going on. It's because thiers no aminal like mechanics. Everything still stale and going through trees instead of into them. Not enough dynamic to its self to form a proper good looking hole.

[@canislunaticus]

This game has so much potential, I think this can become better than any dragon games we've seen and even better than the dinosaur games we're familliar with.

[@juanchavez5431]

Home boy repeated the same thing over and over in different words 😂… tells me everything I need to know about the game

[@Jenny-ue3jt]

i feel like draconia has a lot of potential and at some point i might get it but i want to wait a while longer. I always wanted a good dragon survival game to come out but thats just not really a reality atm 🤔 I`ve played day of dragons and i gotta say I`m very disappointed by it 😪

[@Mugelbbub16]

Not playing because I can't

[@alienstar2088]

Personally, I'd rather wait for a game called Wings of Dawn, another Draconic rpg/survival game. Draconia looks beautiful don't get me wrong but, without crucial elements of pvp I don't see myself playing it. On the other hand, I also don't play Day of Dragons because of similar issues however, my issues with that game is that it feels less like a Dragon Survival game and more of a Death Match game. Comparing these two games with the concept of Wings of Dawn is drastic, Wings of Dawn attempts to give players the survival gameplay in every survival game but furthermore, actually incorporates Draconic myth as gameplay options such as raiding player villages, hoarding gold and slaying heroes and other Dragons. To me, that's what a Dragon game should be. It shouldn't just be (Insert Dinosaur Survival game here) with Dragons. It should seek to make the fantasies of Dragons made real (heh).

[@vittoriacoriel]

Beautiful but lacks novelty and variety. It feels like Ark but with less random Dino encounters.

[@Setuaro]

The "why" of it isn't a mystery. The game just isn't intuitive for actually *playing* it. There's a quest here and there from what I saw on YT but it's so vague you'd easily miss it without a handwritten guide by the devs to tell you where the givers are. Don't get me wrong. I know it's a pre-alpha, the absolute embodiment of a barebones game in development and I can imagine this could become quite popular if they do things correctly. Combat needs to be engaging, flying needs to be interesting instead of holding W and pointing your mouse up & down, maybe not a minimap persay but a "charted" map kind of thing might at least be a proper improvement on nothing. For aerial gameplay, they can perhaps take some inspiration from a mixture of WoW's Dragonriding, GW2 Griffon flying and even Century: Age of Ashes- another dragon game that has some very fun gameplay at its core. Of course, like mentioned before, I know it's pre-alpha and EVERYTHING is subject to change. Right now it's inhabited by people who just want to make their pretty dragon 'sonas, see what the game is about or the frequent Roleplayer living out their dreams RP'ing a dragon. The game has certain piqued my interest, while I do not yet see myself supporting the game by throwing my money at it, I am curious to see where it will go. See whether or not they change mechanics entirely or just make small adaptation after adaptation. Additionally, the comment section seems quite adamant of the previous game being a scam so that's now a new thing for me to factor in once I've done some research of my own.

[@renem.4249]

The reason why i dont play this one is simply bc the flight-system to me doesnt feel immersive enough but rather wonky. u dont feel the weight of the creature, u dont feel the momentum, u dont have to manage ur velocity by flapping occasionally, u dont have to learn flying really so theres no challenge in mastering it, u dont have to develop a feeling for ur dragons turning and such aswell as u dont feel the wind rushing past u and ur wings. everything that would make flight just exiting all over isnt there for me. Day of Dragons somewhat went in the right direction even tho theres alot of aspects that even there make flight-physx rather weird. animationwhise the movement of the dragons to me seems a bit off and since i mostly enjoy survival games with pvp this isnt it for me. id rather have to actually hunt something and roast it before consuming the body. sadly this game went very much towards too much fantasial aspects and all which even less made up the immersion for me aswell as letting the dragons rather seem like cute and harmless creature instead of the fire-breathing winged monsters they are. ofc one could say not all dragons are monsters, sure but a creature having all the features of a predator yet nothing in its playstyle and such that makes it actually feel like one is rather a disappointment. i personally need something more "believable" than this. The idea of customaziation is a good base but the execution could be better. maybe at some point they go into a direction thats more attractive for me as so far im rather disappointed by the dragon-games that there are on the market all across

[@suttagi]

honestly this looks way better than DOD, the environment is very pretty to look at, diverse and immersive compared to DOD's map of just grass + 100 same looking trees everywhere. the flying looks way better and doesn't make you want to kill yourself like DOD's flight mechanics which are absolutely horrible and there seems to be more stuff to do like quests or getting abilities rather than just grow and get killed by tryhard clans that are an infestation in each DOD server. i'm still suspicious of draconia tho because they are known for abandoning their games so i think i'm gonna hold off until a more trustable dragon game comes out that isn't a scam but might get draconia if they continue to update and make more progress

The reason why some us ain't playing this game is because it is a pc only game we want it on other platforms also pc is to expensive get it on console

we got hurt from day of dragons to hard

[@clevergirl131]

My first thought too.

[@HoroGamingx]

Because devs don't support content creators :)

[@zerada00]

You can play this game as single player, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO IN IT. It's a big red flag and people are not catching onto it.

[@L_CapriSon]

Only PC???

[@KatoGameplays]

[@Karfunkelfuchs]

I love dragons and have always wanted to play a game with dragons. But this one just didn't appeal to me. The dragons are nice, but I don't like all the animations. Some of them look very stiff. For example, look at "More than Human" (an indie game in development) and look at the animations of the eastern dragon and then look at the eastern dragon of Draconia... Also, the way you move (no free camera) bothers me enormously. I don't really like the gameplay either, as it literally doesn't exist atm, as already mentioned here.

We will not return to Draconia until they actually add gameplay. Sure the game looks pretty and the customization is nice but besides that they really have nothing going for the game. All we can do currently is customize and reach lvl 50. It took them nearly 2 years to release 2 new playable creatures(though we can't complain seeing that Day of Dragons takes 2-3 years in between new playables). Most patches that came out have been unnecessary patches that include shells, or eggs, or small bug fixes, or unnecessary map work. The game is boring. The leveling system is boring. There aren't enough animations and sound effects, pvp is worse than Day of Dragons somehow, it's just not a good time. As much as we want to like this game, its not gonna happen until they add some stuff. I'm really hoping that Wings of Dawn releases with enough content to last us a while when it releases but even that isn't guaranteed. Edit: Not to mention the animations and flying mechanics suuuuuuuuck
