We want your thoughts as we look forward to 2021

[PGGalileo]

Dragon Lords,

With the new year around the corner, our team is starting to plan for releases, updates, and bug fixes for War Dragons in 2021. As we continue to invest in War Dragons, we want to hear from you.

We want to know what the community would most like to see us invest in and what are the biggest pain points in the game that you’d like to see us address ASAP. We know that you share these ideas throughout the year, and we’re able to pick up on some of them then - but since we’re in planning mode, this is when we’re really able to scope out work we’re going to do and fit that work into teams’ schedules.

So from today until 12/11 5pm PT, we would like to see the following from you in this thread:

1. Post your ideas (suggestions, features, issues that you want to see addressed, etc.) individually here. Those that have more than one idea, feel free to post them.
2. Heart/Vote on the ideas that you like.

After 12/11, we’ll gather the top 10 ideas that received the most votes/hearts. When we’ve identified those top 10 ideas, we’ll then create a poll in which players will get to vote on which ones you’d like to see our teams focus/address. Voting ends on 12/21.

These top 10 ideas will help us identify how to focus our efforts and will help us prioritize these requests. We’ll do our best to incorporate these ideas into our workflow, if it makes sense. Obviously, we can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to tackle all of the ideas for one reason or another, but we’ll make sure to communicate that when the time comes.

Any questions?

Can you make it less laggy for like once

The biggest problems of 2020

Hello. Since 2020 is almost over I would like to go over some things that would make the game a lot better, in 2021. In this post I would like to point out the biggest problems facing the dev team at pg in 2021. That being the lack of support, and QOL updates seen in the game. I am not a coder. But I know some who are. In talking with them, I’ve came to the conclusion that doing the small things. Say fixing lag, updating the prim event, and just general things that the community has been asking …

This is definitely a good place to start.

[Fragity]

Can you list the different departments… I’d like to post at least one suggestion for each one… give everyone some love.

[tinbru]

Just fix the game please.

[Daedalus]

Here’s mine:

Increase Gold Transfer Amount

The amount of food, lumber and gold you can transfer to a teammate is the same until level 175 for some silly reason. The amount of gold you can send still goes up a tiny bit until lvl 186 until it stops, while food and lumber transfer rates keep increasing at the normal rate. Why? At higher levels this gets way out of whack. [image] This is my max transfer rate of each resource at level 420. It took me 2 and a half hours to transfer enough gold to my teammate for her to level her primarch…

[Jalen]

I’m not sure if this counts, but I would love to see this put into effect;

Simple Economy Relief Idea

Last season, PG Showed that they can provide double the bronze chests drops from +1 to +2. Why not keep this as a permanent feature? This would help offset increasing branch sigil costs, aid in greater pvp activity since more inner fires and energy packs could be obtained through the bronze chests and help with the current timer shortage for players of all levels, all by simply doubling the amount of bronze chests dropped from farming. @PGGalileo

Here was a suggestion I made myself that I think would be helpful for non-pirate Atlas teams;

Tag/Mention for Atlas Bankers

By now, everyone should be well aware that there is a mention option (@group) for tagging the entire team, and another mention option (@officers) for tagging the leader and officers, although there is no mention option to tag bankers. If no officers, nor the leader, are available, and no bankers are online or paying attention to team chat, don’t you think they’d need to be tagged too? This isn’t a major concern, but it would make things a whole lot easier for members who do not have access to th…

I think this was another great suggestion that I made. It would reduce tedium and make for a better organization system, limiting transitions between the gear menu and the rider menu;

Gear Sorting System

Regarding the gear section of the forge, I feel like there isn’t enough to go off of. What I mean by that, is that when I go to start on a brand new piece of gear, I have to look first and see what I may already have and what I may not already have. It would be a lot more helpful if the gear could be sorted by what we have and what we don’t have, giving indicating numbers of the specific piece of gear so that we can see if we need to craft another one or not. With this, it could also get more in…

The following suggestion (also made by me) would make it to where we could remove riders from our “rider roster”;

Rider Deletion Feature

Okay, so we all have those riders that we get, but don’t actually use. Those riders do nothing but sit there and take up space. It would be really helpful if we could delete, remove, or “salvage” riders that we don’t use or plan on using in the future. This would free up a lot of space and ensure that only riders we intend to use for attacks and for defense are in our rider list. I have several riders in my rider list that I don’t do anything with. Of course this could be avoided by simply not …

[FieryxFury]

I have too many and it’s nearly 4 am so I’ll list a few off the top of my head

1. Chest input/slider feature for main game, similar to bank mechanics
2. Removal of healing time altogether
3. Reduction of incubation times (to maybe divine-like times)
4. Chests dropping on Tuesdays, preferably with a doubled rate to incentivise activity, or even some sort of ‘chest drop increase/chest value increase per drop’ seasonal boost similar to the egg mission branch
5. A way to trade in useless resources for more useful ones (in an infinite amount)

Those are just main game features, but I can think of several Atlas ones too… I’ll confine this post to maingame features though

(These things were listed in no particular order)

Edit: 6. More flexibility with research, making it so that you have to spend x amount of eggs/tokens to move onto the next tier of research, but giving the free ability to research anything of your choice within the tier, i.e: Preventing getting useless research if it’s going to be this expensive

@FieryxFury

Chest input/slider feature for main game, similar to bank mechanics

This please. Could also have a open 100 button or auto-open if one is easier to do than the other.

[IAmOnLeaveTeam]

I have some ideas.

1. Pls allow us to salvage multiple gear.
2. A new PvP (@Bloodsworn had some ideas posted)
3. Slight reduction in regards to backbreeding eggs for research.
4. Make Dungeons a permanent event which will start as soon as any minor event ends.
5. Have Base Boosts provide seasonal Base Skins once we complete the whole branch.
6. More missions on the Balloon hut, not just 3. We could have 1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour, 12 hour and 20 hour missions.
7. Slight increase in the xp output the dragon quests potions give.
8. Restart Ruby Mine.
9. Elite Boosts for Rubies. Everyone, not just Grandfather accounts, should have them now.
   And last, but not least,
10. Have more Noelles for each tier every two seasons.

Just a heads up for everyone posting multiple ideas, it would be a lot easier to “vote” if the ideas were separated. Some people have some good ideas and other not so good ideas (obviously dictated by opinion), separated would be much easier to identify them.

[IAmOnLeaveTeam]

How do we do that now?

[IAmOnLeaveTeam]

I got it. After everyone has thought of ideas, pg could create a poll with them. Then we could just vote for the ideas we like.

[BGage]

Use multiple separate posts. Probably spread out when you post too so no one person spams the thread. I personally think that’s what would be easiest, perhaps @PGGalileo can provide input on what would be easiest for him to sift through.

[IAmOnLeaveTeam]

Nah it would spread out much.

[BGage]

Gonna plagerize @FieryxFury 's idea for changing the Primarch leveling event in atlas. I personally think her idea is great but almost any way to replace it would be great.

Atlas Event Switch

Proposition: Introduce a glory-based Atlas event in lieu of the Primarch event. It seems fair to say that we’ve reached a point where the primarch training event is more of a nuisance than a positive. This proposal aims to solve this problem by introducing a new glory event, improving overall Atlas conditions, eliminating barriers to prim progression, and defrays the demand for more primarch levels to score well in the event. Aside from that, a spaced-out glory-based event urges players to obta…

[Samsamthe1st]

I would love it if the game would stop crashing so much.

[forScience]

Fix alliance chat bugs - people being in the wrong one, not seeing one at all, etc. or some don’t get pings from it

Edit: Also, suggestions are made under assumption that these aren’t going to replace important items that should already be underway…

[FieryxFury]
