Draconius Go - Who's playing ?

110 replies

I thought it was about time we had a thread for those playing the new Draconius Go game.
It's been mentioned a few times on the Pokemon thread but rather than take that over, let's have our own shiny new thread.

I only started today after seeing so many positive recommendations online (including MN).

My initial thoughts are that it is MUCH better for those of us living in the countryside as Pillars of Abundance (what an awful title) are everywhere unlike Pokestops which I found very difficult to get to. There are also more Arenas (Gyms) plus the added interest of Libraries, Obelisks, Portals etc.

I'm not quite convinced by the creatures yet though but that's probably just because my DSs grew up with the original Pokemon and I was 'forced' to learn them all off by heart.

I've already managed to put a couple of creatures into arenas, both of which were empty and presumably had never been used yet.

So who else is playing ?

The egg pillars.When you are on a pillar it is one of the options with the 3 dots..I have had 3 10 k eggs from there

tumpymummy · 28/11/2017 00:52

No, I haven't worked it out at all. Some of mine have come back from the arena after a week, but on others I seem to have got an extra coin for being there a week?! ( And not because I have just put them in). Number of coins I get every day seems to be anything from 54 to 70?! Am surprised there are not more people playing. I live in a city and so many of the arenas are empty. Or all the other players have moved on to level 15 or higher. I haven't been playing much over the last few days as I am level 14 and know all my creatures will get kicked out once I hit 15.

Green very few things seem to make sense in this game to be honest. I wish there were more people playing it just to make it a bit more fun.

GreenShadow · 27/11/2017 17:26

Anyone worked out the (lack of) logic in how long the creatures stay in arenas?
I know I put 2 in arenas in a neighbouring town end of last week and one's home already and one's still there. I know others have been in for well over a week.
The time seems to vary randomly between something like 6 and 12 days. Must start a spreadsheet to work it out

Thanks catchyjem finished my treasure hunt today and got a Neptune CP950 from the golden egg. By far my biggest creature now so was worth doing. I'm finding I'm playing Draconius Go more than Pokemon at the moment just because it has all these extra game bits. Although still so much about the game I don't know. How do you buy an egg pillar?!

Starlight2345 · 22/11/2017 10:37

I reached Level 17 last night..

Hatched my first 10k egg

I have bought an egg pillar which is on way to school so pass 5 days a week. It has given me so far 2 5k eggs and just now another 10k egg.

tumpymummy · 21/11/2017 23:59

That's an impressive pet william

dillite · 21/11/2017 21:28

I have levelled up to level 16 and have finally received my first 10k egg. I like the special features that you get from the pillars, like getting double of everything or extra xp.

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 21/11/2017 19:51

I've logged in at a new location... I don't think I'll be visiting the nearest obelisk in the middle of a load of mainline train tracks Confused

I hope that there'll be an update to shuffle features that are in inappropriate locations.

Draconius Go - Who's playing ?

Yes, you have to physically be in the map square before using a shovel. The square turns yellow when you are in the right place , it then scores it out in red so you know not to search there again.

tumpymummy · 20/11/2017 19:53

Thanks greenshadow. For anyone that has done the treasure hunt am I right in thinking that once you work out where the map is you have to physically actually go to those roads before you use s shovel? And then when you want to dig in the next square do you actually have to physically move a few streets away?

GreenShadow · 20/11/2017 19:28

You can only claim coins for a max of 10 arenas tumpy hence the 70 coins.

tumpymummy · 19/11/2017 22:47

I agree *greenshadow I went to put a creature in an arena today only to find I was in it already. I have completely lost track of which arenas I'm in where. I also don't understand the coin system. I am in 12 arenas and due to get 70 coins 2moro. But that's less than 6 coins per arena?

GreenShadow · 18/11/2017 17:28

I currently have 9 monsters in arenas but hate that you can't work out which is where ( if that makes sense). The names are just nonsensical and un-memorable. I appreciate that as they aren't based in local landmarks like PoGo, they are harder to identify, but still find it frustrating.
Having said that, I'm still playing and slowly filling up my Bestiary.

I do like the way you get coins every day that you have monsters in arenas, unlike PoGo where I could have 5 Pokemon in gyms but if they all come home the same day, still only get 50 coins.

I was kicked out of arenas when I levelled up to 15 but put my creatures back in. I’ve currently got 13 in although it only registers 10 for coins. Some of them have definitely been in over a week.

dillite · 17/11/2017 22:45

Yes they get kicked out after a week. It's extremely annoying. It's also annoying to be kicked out after levelling up.

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 17/11/2017 22:44

I've had a good play today. I went through a portal and used one of the seeing things to gather up lots of new creatures while I was through it and have levelled up to level 8.

I also had a go at hunting for the golden egg (started a few days ago). I think I've used up all my shovels and didn't find it which could be awkward for future quests. It's hard to find enough accessible obelisks to collect all the map pieces as some features are right in the middle of arable fields with no legal/ practical access and others down a 60mph road.

I need to remember to collect coins daily.

I think the game has potential. I feel less tied in to particular routes like pokemon because the pillars are more evenly distributed, and the different quests should keep it more fresh whereas po go relies heavily on events to relieve the monotony of grinding. I miss the convenience of my po go plus with it though- and the battery saving benefits!

GreenShadow · 17/11/2017 20:01

Is the max time you can leave a creature in an arena a week?

I had one in an arena near my house it suddenly shows as vacant and my monster hasn't been defeated, it's just abandoned ship and come home!

My gps drift walking isn't registering either. Maybe they have 'fixed' it along with changing arena payouts. Hate it when they change things in games.

Starlight2345 · 17/11/2017 16:50

My walking isn't registering either

purplewaterbottle · 17/11/2017 14:34

My walking isn't registering on this today, useless school run! Didn't notice til I got back. I can tell it's still not working because the usual really good gps drift isn't registering anything either. (I could easily leave it on the side and hatch a 2km usually).

tumpymummy · 17/11/2017 08:42

Does anyone know why my coin pay out has changed overnight? I was set to receive 61 coins when my timer runs out this morning. But now it has dropped to 43?! No one has been knocked out. 43 coins for 7 arenas - that's rubbish!!

catchyjem · 16/11/2017 22:52

It’s actually fine to put low level creatures in libraries. The more libraries you are in the quicker the timer goes down. You can then retrain any creature you have, not necessarily one in a library. I’ve done it once just to try it out. I managed to get my egg to a MOD today and hatched a 1400cp morgoroth. My best beast so far. I love the way pillars change places in a rift. I’ve stayed in all evening as it placed two right by my house so I can stock up on balls!

tumpymummy · 16/11/2017 15:24

With the runes I have discovered that if you click on the magic icon you can then convert low level runes into high level ones so they take up less room in your bag.
