This Game is Very Pay to Win
this is my first day and after playing my first 3 matches, i now am in lobby's with players that never stop playing this game and have dragons that just came out in the store that basically 1 shot me. Its not very fun not having any legendary dragons that have stupid staice effects and have high damage verses my low damage starting dragons.
It is stupid pay to win, I cant even unlock a epic dragon unless i spend months playing nonstop to get the coins to buy a egg for it.

I heard that you use to get a egg every time u leveled up, what happened to that???
If the game is gonna be like this why don't you add the egg thing back and not have us perchance everything.

I got exited about this game to immediately be let down, just because I don't have any money to spend on this game.

No its not; those are just skins and armor that have NO effect on gameplay.

everything in the shop you can buy is purely cosmetic, and anything game play related is purchasable with coins. You can easily get coins by doing your quests and just simply playing, even if you lose. Yes it takes awhile but you shouldn't be able to get a legendary after 1 match lol. Or even 10, you got to work for it. Just consider and remember you are playing this game for free... you can easily get the coins and gems by spending real money, or work for it. Working for it really isn't that hard, but I get not everyone has the time or patience to grind a bit. Again, this game is free to play so I am not complaining.

like
i want to like the game
I grew up loving mythology and animals which include dragons (my personal favorite being Japanese mythology)
But its so hard when it feels almost impossible to play. Its very hard to learn because I can't get lobby's my level, Ik there are little to non players playing.
just another complate from me heh:steamsad:
idk what to do anymore.
I have played many high skill ceiling games and took the time to learn them as when i played it always felt fair which allowed me to easily take notes, as I slowly learn and get better and better while starting to play with higher and higher level players. I will be honest, I would prefer a more skill based match making so I can actually take my time and look at what I am doing and what they are doing. Watch pros aint gonna do ♥♥♥♥ because trying to copy them gets one noware when learning (learned that the hard way with apex years ago) and tips and tricks are not really that helpful when its mostly you to count on your own mistakes. its way to hard to read on if I actually did something good and just died to someone higher skill, or if it was dumb to go in that aria at that time and to take a note, because I am playing with nothing but veterans. Like Ik its possible to learn still, now just at a very slow pase.

Idk what to do anymore. I love dragons want to love the game, but I don't want to play when all i do is get complained about (not helping the learning process) and ♥♥♥♥ on by vets.

Like what am I suppose to do. (sink 1000 hours in the game isnt much of a option because i have school life and all this other ♥♥♥♥ everyone needs me to all the damn time)

I don't have many hours in this game; my playtime is usually limited to an hour or two before bed. At first, I struggled with PvP but I must say I didn't experience what you are, the players werent insta killing me for the most part. Did you stick to those first 15 practise rounds? I eventually improved and now it's my favorite aspect of the game, I love how fast pased it is, and winning feels well deserved.

As for advice, since I haven't had the same experience you're having, I don't have specific tips to offer. However, I can share what worked for me in terms of motivation and progress.

Setting clear goals was crucial for me. For instance, I purchased the second-lowest level of coins, got extra because it was my first purchase, and saved them until I had a clear idea of what I wanted from the game. Eventually, I invested in the dragon pass and worked towards unlocking the blue dragon at the very end because I really wanted it, which I recently achieved! I have better dragons now, but having him in my list is really rewarding

Regarding in-game purchases, I highly recommend the dragon pass. It's a great investment because you get most, if not all, of your gems back, along with a bunch of coins and other cool cosmetics. While the weekly shop items are brief, the dragon pass offers substantial rewards and sofar has no time limit.

Finally, adapting to the game's mechanics can take some time. I switched all my ability buttons to suit my playstyle, which helped me react quickly in fast-paced situations (which is always). Many new players struggle with the rapid pace of the game, so adjusting your controls and practicing can make a big difference.

Go into practise mode and test each class, make sure the one you go with you're comfortable in. Know their passives and abilities etc. You do not need to get the 3 purchasable classes until you get better.

Your reply comes across as you not really vibing with the game, and that's fine. It took me a while to get into the flow and be able to hold myself. I am not a veteran by any means, but I am good enough to have fun and not get offended when they continuasly kill me, I take it as a challenge.

You unfortunately, like any other game, have to suffer for a bit to get better. Any pvp based game newbies always get thrown in with the bunch and have to survive. Nobody is instantly good after a few matches in any game.

No worries, although, kind of hard to play casually in a game built for competitiveness :mddragon:

Look around in the official discord, you dont have to copy a pro, simply getting tips on movements/attacks that is universal for everyone will be helpful in the long run.

The game is just very hard, i started playing it aswell. and its difficult, not because of the enemies (because of the game itself)

Since I bought my new dragon for €49.99, I've been flying twice as fast.

I feel that most new classes are pay-to-win for the first three matches I play against them after that you learn their tricks and it all feels the same to me, where you get killed is the matchmaking placing you up against teams of high ranked players that destroy you 30 to 5 but that is rare, all in all for a free game I am happy with it myself.
