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 ?

Anyone still playing? Or just me?!

I'm still playing.

I haven't deleted it yet...

I'm finding the game too stingy to play. A very limited, dull, useless set of monsters to catch in the wild. Too many inaccessible features and too difficult to replace balls and potions when pillars only give out one or two items. I find there is a lot of traipsing around draining my phone battery for little reward.

I resent being the only player in the area and being kicked out of arenas by Champion only a few days after I went wading through claggy fields to put my creatures in then not having the resources to restore them to health. Meanwhile Champion has kicked me out again. It's more frustrating than when I struggled with the old gyms in Pokemon, at least it was usually other people involved.

Frustrating because the game has good potential in the structure particularly compared to when pokemon is due for an event/ new generation, but each update seems to make it harder to play. I'm not parting with real money for blooming shovels. I do occasionally get things in pokemon but they enhance game play rather than being essential to it.

I seem to be the only player round here too. Never seen a portal. Doing "duel of wizards" is annoying, cos the icon is on the left side of the screen i'm mainly right handed. Very rarely do I see/get anything different as it's mainly:-

Berrydillo
Potty
Frogus.

When do I decide to fight an attacking monster, I get my bum kicked within about 10-15 secs. without even making a dent in the other's HP.

Likewise Urgent. I still go on it occasionally - just to check if any of the local arenas have finally become vacant.

I was so optimistic when I first discovered it but it has failed to deliver.

The Champions totally spoil it. It does seem very strange that the developers don't seem to be reacting to this and pulling them out of arenas faster.

The only thing in it's favour as far as I'm concerned is that I have a Pillar in my garden so stocking up on balls and potions isn't a problem. There's just not much to use them on.

I'd have kept more interest if there was a pillar in the garden

If the developers sorted out the glitches, I could be tempted to resume regular play. Given that pokemon has had similar phases that come and go, it can't be major programming to resolve.

The dragon recruitment incentive was a total farce!

Yes, I think I am only still playing because I have a pillar at my house. I like the quests and the magic spells. Occasionally I do a golden egg hunt. That's where I have got my highest CP creatures from. I Do Not Like Champion. Agree that it is really annoying when you traipse somewhere only to be knocked out by a bot. Lack of creatures and spawns means that when I am out walking I choose to do Pokemon rather than Dragonius.

Have any of you few people still playing noticed an increase in unusual creatures recently?
I used a lure yesterday and instead of lots of the usual rubbish, had three new creatures appear in half an hour. I also found two more new ones over the course of the day.
Tried another lure this morning (I'm on leave - a quiet few days) and two more new ones appeared (although one ran off before catching).

Is this a gradual release like Pokemon have done with Gen3 or have they just realise players have got bored. I must admit it is having the effect of getting me slightly more interested again.

I haven't tried lures so will give that a go. THANKS! I am struggling with arenas at the moment. Even though I live in the middle of a city there aren't very many near my house, only 3 within walking distance. At the moment all of them are occupied by Champion with massive creatures, with way higher CP than any of mine. It's impossible to get in to arenas and so get coins. It's totally killing the game for me.

Just to let you know, that there seems to be new montsers abound (possibly Hallow e'en ones)
