Draconius Go - Who's playing ?

110 replies

GreenShadow · 08/11/2017 20:55

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 ?

Ahh.
It turns out that my "opponent" who had kicked me out on an rena is one of the "Champions" purplewaterbottle mentioned yesterday. There was an obvious clue in that he goes by the name of "champion"!

Somewhat and Starlight, what's the betting you've also been booted out by "Champion".

Ah, interesting, I was booted from a gym this morning as well. I’ve forgotten which one I was in though...

I've been out to try and claim back my arena stolen by 'Champion' and it's impossible. He can defeat all my creatures easily. Doesn't bode well if they start taking back all arenas.

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 05/12/2017 18:47

Yes, it was Champion. I've taken over the one arena that I've seen occupied by another player which has shown no signs of change since the start. It was a long winded battle for a fairly weak monster!

Starlight2345 · 05/12/2017 18:58

Oh my..I took back my gym from champion..I can see it on map from home and it has been taken back again by Champion..It has plumes of smoke round it..Bloody annoying.

tumpymummy · 08/12/2017 07:59

So Champion isn't a real person?! That explains it! I couldn't understand how there was a red and a blue champion near me. But that's not fair, they are taking over all the arenas near me and they are a much higher level so my creatures don't stand a chance of kicking them out. They are also hogging several of the spaces in 1 arena with really high cp creatures. That's ridiculous!

dillite · 09/12/2017 23:45

My dragon was kicked out by a 3000cp champion. My strongest dragon is 600-something CP. Fuck that shit!

WhoWants2Know · 10/12/2017 07:06

I was battling yesterday in the Arena of Malicious Kittens (inconveniently located in Morrisons deli area) and I killed the SunTsi that held it twice- but it didn’t get kicked out! I don’t understand. I had to move on at that point, because people wanted to actually buy stuff.

tumpymummy · 10/12/2017 11:03

whowants that's happened to me too - gave up because I wasn't getting anywhere. But on reflection I th8nk it might be because you have to get the score of the arena down to 0. So if you are battling a 2 level arena it has to go down from 2000 to 0 for you to capture it. I have tried training against a friendly gym and I think it was raised by a few hundred every time I won so to defeat a gym totally will mean battling against it at least 4 times. Not so easy at the deli counter! This whole arena thing is ridiculous now. All the gyms near me have been taken over by champion now with creatures way higher than mine so I don't stand a chance. The other day I was in a different part if town and the only gyms not taken by champion were in people's back gardens. I had no way of accessing them! I was enjoying the game with the quests and treasure hunts but they might have just killed it for those few of us who are playing.

tumpy and Who
But my experience is that even the Champions are also being thrown out after a week or so. It's certainly happened in to of my local ones so I just dropped by and placed a creature again.
Hopefully it'll happen with yours too tumpy and Who

Starlight2345 · 10/12/2017 19:59

i was on 9 gyms down to 4..when i doubt anyone has took them from me

UrgentScurryfunge · 18/12/2017 10:49

I've levelled up to level 15. The arenas are all yellow apart from one with a double champion in.

My current quest is for 5 libraries, I was only in one anyway so haven't missed out on much with a level change.

I've also saved up the coins for a set of shovels. They are frustrating to come by in the game when it's the only way to complete a hunt.

UrgentScurryfunge · 22/12/2017 09:58

Anyone else still playing or has gen 3 claimed all the glory back?

I'm up to level 16, mainly due to sporadic wild fights and PVP battles. My phone battery is too ancient to cope with the screen on while walking up much milage.

tumpymummy · 23/12/2017 10:26

I still have it on at home. I'm level 20. But am getting increasingly fed up with my creatures being knocked out of arenas all the time by 'champion'.

GreenShadow · 24/12/2017 14:53

I still sort of play but the lack of interesting spawns and the 'Champions' have made it rather dull.
There still doesn't appear to be anyone else in my town playing and taking over arenas though.

OP posts:

dillite · 26/12/2017 22:43

I am sort of playing- DD is doing it for me, but to be honest, the lack of new creatures and the "champions" are making me rather bored with the game. I am not really playing PoGo either to be fair, I think I am just getting bored of games in general.

Dillite2 · 06/01/2018 19:19

So, how is everyone? Still playing? I saw a new name in a gym today that wasn't me or a champion. Things are hotting up round here!

loc · 07/01/2018 10:33

I deleted it due to lack of space on my phone when I was out and about and wanted to take pictures.
I haven't looked at it since Gen 3 arrived, the shadows are too irresistible and using my go plus is much kinder on my battery life.

I only really play from home - when I'm out and about I'd much rather do PoGo.

We don't get a lot of spawns though but because we have a Pillar in the garden I am always topped up with balls in case anything appears. I do occasionally put down a lure in the evenings which I can never do with PoGo as I'm nowhere near a PokeStop.

OP posts:

tumpymummy · 09/01/2018 23:47

Yeap I'm the same as Greenshadow. I've only kept playing Dragonius because I have a pillar at my house. Recently I've done a few magic spells at home which have been lucrative.

UrgentScurryfunge · 10/01/2018 11:06

I'm struggling with it. I've had a break over Christmas. The spawns are too rare and pillars mean and widely spaced to restock for battling. Being L16 Champion is too strong and has blocked me out of the arenas. No one else plays in my area. The only one I saw was L6 when I first started, no other action since then.

It's frustrating that you walk up a good mileage to access features like arenas then they soon get taken over by an in game bot. Just too much work for too little reward. It's not worth draining the phone battery for a few frigid and potty just to cover 5k for a mediocre egg that doesn't help you challenge Champion.

I like the concept and a few practical changes could save the game. Meanwhile I can stick my go plus on and go for a run and find some nice surprises in my pokedex.

I haven't tried any spells yet tumpy - what did you do?

OP posts:

tumpymummy · 11/01/2018 09:17

Spells are in 'Magic. Every time you fight a creature you get coloured stones. In magic you install an alter then you choose which spell you want to cast and use yr coloured stones. I have 2 recipes to choose from which I think came from treasure boxes originally. Once the spell is cast you get a tower next to you that throws out specific creatures. I get arcana or earth. It's a bit like sticking a lure on a pokestop or pillar, except that you don't need to be next to one - one is created. It lasts about half hour. Last time I got 15 creatures from it Inc one new.

tumpymummy · 11/01/2018 09:19

By the way increasing bag and creature storage is half price at the moment - 100 coins. I remember Pogo have only ever done that once so I am using up my coins!

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 24/01/2018 16:43

I'm pissed off, yesterday I chucked a Barrydillo with a Strength of 5 & Health of 4 without thinking.
