#Mindfulness over implications of upcoming dragon changes

To date, players have gotten used to the way Command and Habits function in the game, and how these interact with stats and with other dragons. Consequentially, players have made investments, or varying scale no doubt, but investments nonetheless based on how the game currently is.

While I am grateful that the development team is actively taking efforts to enhance the game through the mooted changes to dragon habits and commands in particular, I urge the developers to keep close tabs on the implications of these changes on the value of existing investments made by players. The easiest example given current information is Zivern, for whom a big draw is his ability to increase the activation chance of others commands. He’s accordingly heavily recommended to all new players, who then invest in him. Should the upcoming changes affect the value of this habit, say by increasing activation rates across the board, players aren’t receiving for their investment of up to 1,150 epic cores what they expected.

Agreed, also worth mentioning the upgrades for his 3rd habit "fearsome reach", which for all intents and purposes will become irrelevant once they change Zivern to a single damage type dragon. This habit was arguably one of the best in the game. I would hope it is replaced with something as equally powerful.

I think it should be live across all servers not a select few.
How did they even go about deciding that?

Hopefully without all of the rng and gaurenteed abilities it will give us more concrete teams. Maybe mix things up a bit.
They really should refund habits though. The player base is not huge so it wouldn't be too hard 👀

RIP Zivern.

Did you not read the summary from tabris before making this post...they've already noted this, so will be mindful hopefully.

The answer is no for me, because I, like many others do not read every post in every channel.....I was only alerted of the changes after reading the message in game today. In any event the information above seems to be the Devs response to the collation of feedback and does not actually represent what has been built. Like the OP I will be disappointed/angry if the habits and Dragons I have invested in are devalued by any change made. Accordingly, a refund system should be offered if this is the case.

With such a major change, all dragons should be reset and the cores returned.

I'm fine with them making changes to what is actually a beta game (soft launch lol). That being said, changes of the scale of what is being done so far requires a full refund of all cores and breedmarks players have invested, at the very least.

Yes, absolutely, Vex

I agree with the full refund of cores and habits materials. Its obvious that the gameplay from soft launch differs from the one we will be having on our next reign. Give players a chance to restart and tweak the dragons they invested in prior this major update!
