Draconius Go - Who's playing ?

[GreenShadow]

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 ?

I'm having "Dress Like Your Pet Day"

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

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

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.

That's an impressive pet william

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.

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?!

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

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.

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.

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

Same here Tumpy. No one else appears to be playing in my area although it is fairly rural/only a small town. It's quite a weird feeling, knowing I'm roaming the lands of the dragons all alone....

I've had a good go today and levelled up to halfway through L11. The only occupied arena I've seen has the same L6 player as when I started a few weeks ago. I went on a walk into the countryside and there were a good few arenas, obelisks and pillars accessible from footpaths. Some were right in the middle of crops though

The spawn rate seems really low which makes it feel like a lot of tramping around to achieve anything.

I want to like the game as there's a lot of potential, I just feel like I'm not joining up the dots very well and can't see much online to help with a bit of strategy.

I hit level 20 today..

I agree the problem with this game is there is so much I don't understand.

What are libraries for ..

When I get a treasure chest I get timers in the corner no idea what for?

Starlight
I think the timers are that you get double something or other (items when you spin a pillar possibly?) for 30 mins (I think). Only had one once and didn't work out was was going on myself at the time.

I went on the motorway/ dual carriage way today and there were literally hundreds of pillars and arenas along the road. Who thought it a good idea to place them there?

The only thing that libraries do as far as I can see is allow you to change the moves on one of your creatures. But since I am just learning the game I have no need to do that at the moment. Maybe once I get 2 the same of a high CP creature I'll use it.
The placing of stops and arenas does seem to be very random I agree. But fortunately I have a pillar at my house.

The new system of 'champions' taking over arenas is bloody annoying. It's like they're trying to fake what it would be like having more players in the game, I now have to go and fight these fake players if I want my arenas back! And some of them are in some right dodgy places...

Just loaded this game in hopes of getting the kids out for a walk.

Yes I agree . I am on 10 at the moment . One near school has returned to yellow so saving that one for when gyms drop.

I find now not much new walking around more new with eggs

I am no longer alone!

Someone else in my rural area/small town actually plays!

For the first time since I started playing, I have been thrown out of an arena by an opponent (as opposed to just being thrown out after a certain time). Let the battle begin.

Just started this game yesterday. Much better for me in terms of "stuff" around my house than PoGo where there's not a gym or stop within half a mile. Sort of feeling my way through at the mo and not very sure what I'm doing; joined the blue team as that's the one I'm in for PoGo, got a couple of eggs hatching. The creatures are much prettier than the Pokemon certainly.

Someone else has cropped up and knocked me out of two arenas over the weekend. I hope my rural ones are safe, I did a lot of tramping through muddy public footpaths for them!

I was kicked out of 2 arenas this morning bu no real idea of where they are .

I have put myself on a new Gym today that was yellow.So on 9 now.

Thanks for the heads up! Have just downloaded it after having grown tired of PoGo a while back. This should get me through the Christmas period.

Level 3 after just a quick walk, I love the early levelling up! Already preferring it to PoGo because there're two Pillars I can get to on my lunchbreak walk, plus a Library for when I'm a higher level. In my PoGo days I would be cut off from the Pokestops during the week just because there weren't any near work, so this abundance of PoAs is a refreshing change. Sadly the closest isn't quite near enough to farm from my desk, but that's probably a good thing.
