#Mimikor Improvements

I love the idea of the Mimikor, especially it’s ability, but I hate how the dragon itself will be done. So I’ve got a couple of suggestions to make it better for all players including the patreons.

  1. Make Mimikor more viable to play, give it something survivability wise. Either the ability to burrow, or climb trees and glide from tree to tree.

  2. Allow the Mimikor to be unlockable for everyone, however allow the patreons who got to the $300 tier, the ability to Auto Unlock it on every server, that way patreons still get a reward but it’s accessible to those who put in the effort.

  3. With the suggestion above..it would be fair to make the Mimikor more than a cosmetic dragon, by giving it an attack. I know a lot of people don’t care for how the cosmetic dragon we currently have works right now…so if the Mimikor were no longer behind the paywall, the Mimikor would be able to be useful in more ways than one.

We love our cute little guys but I don’t think they should be completely useless.

I know that even with keyholder rewards suggested for Bio to become unlockable and more balanced, the suggestion was not well recieved. I care more about enjoying the dragons I play than exclusivity, but I haven't heard enough about what defenses the Mimikor might have to really know its survivability, while for Bio it was known its only advantage would be speed for a while.

I would like to see how this suggestion goes though, maybe it will be different considering the Mimikor is still available to obtain, while the Bio exclusivity was locked to a certain timeframe. Perhaps the fact that players can still get the key alone might mean that the Mimikor will have a higher survivability and in game use than the Bio has even if not unlockable?

Agreed.

Yeah, I am hoping the little guy is fun to play and survives well. Not planning on downvoting because again, I care more about the survivability and enjoyability of the Mimikor than the money I donated to Patreon keeping it exclusive. I'll keep an eye out for updates on its survivability and see how other people fare. Sometimes with how much I love Bio I forget that there is another cosmetic that deserves just as much care put into its survival as I try to put into Bio's, so thank you for reminding me with the suggestion bioheart

Isn't the mimickor supposed to be able to attach to dragons to hitch a ride and can only glide? I don't see it being higher in tier than bio or the zygovo if that's the case

sand glade
#

Yeah, it should, which also gives me the impression it’s not gonna have speed on its side.

#

Not sure if that’ll be the case of course.

I am hoping it will have some sort of speed or defense. Maybe be the fastest swimmer or climber, or some ability to burrow and at least hide if it hears something. Imagine if it could burrow or swiftly climb a tree and mimic an elder IR call when it hears something like a juvie ASD nearby, hidden and making the noise of something at least dangerous while out of sight and safe from attacks.

It would be a nice way to make it able to survive a bit better, and if spotted it could glide from tree to tree to stay safe hopefully. I am not sure if that keeps it balanced to make it viable to survive, but it does make me excited to hear more about how it will play!

Yeah for sure!

Honestly I think it should have attacks regardless if it’s unlockable by everyone or not. Cosmetic dragons are cool, but I have a feeling they will most likely eventually die out bc they’re not really considered useful outside of having cool effects on others. Especially since this dragon sounds very slow and relies on others, it sounds like it would need an attack to defend itself from hatchlings

I definitely agree, but I’m not sure they’d make that change if it isnt unlockable.

I hope they would at least consider regardless of who has access to it, a dragon that is just fodder is not very fun

Sounds exactly like what people have been asking for Bio, and we all see how it's being treated right now.. Let's hope that they listen this time and improve both dragons

Where's the incentive to pay for Patreon if the dragon is accessible to everyone? Game has to make Income somehow.

#

The other rewards, and patreons don’t have to unlock it in game, which would still be a reward. Takes less time and effort if that’s what people want. If they don’t care…there’s still the other rewards at LT 300 to entice them.

#

for me the incentive was donating to a dragon game to hopefully get a dragon game and to get lifetime pt so no matter what i could see the progress in the game tbh

#

Everyone has their own reasons for backing and hopefully the Mimikor will be balanced well, maybe instead of starting with an unlockable option there should be starting with balance suggestions like climbing trees or burrowing?

If they decide to give the Mimikor more survivability than the bio, then consider your KS gone lmao

#

We don't know much about the Mimikor yet so we'll cross that bridge when we get there

#

I’m pretty sure would be easier to change it now, while it’s still in the design phase. Not entirely sure of course.

bio is supposed to be the easiest dragon to nest. If they could survive, you can get the entire server a bio dragon, making it very accessible. In which case as people work to upstat them, spawning in as bio will become useless as does every Kickstarter and Patreon spawn

#

as bio is right now, they just aren't fun to play

Bio other than to scout is completely useless as a dragon. They Don’t make sense as a species imo. It’s the only thing I play and yet all I want is to at the very least pick up bugs (alive) to give to others or meat chunks or literally anything to at the very least help out baby dragons.

It’s not engaging.

With mimikor I really hope they can attack. Even if it’s not by much. Their utility from a gameplay standpoint and not just some exclusive, is so interesting and I’d love to see it as a useful tool in battles.

You know what. Make mimikor dod’s ditto.
