    Dragon's Prophet is pretty, and includes a small number of novel concepts. Early flight makes travel much less annoying than the typical MMO, and the combo system is a big improvement over unerring autoattacks (e.g. World of Warcraft) and earlier combo systems (e.g. as Age of Conan) but is somewhat opaque and confusing. Combos aren't logical- one move doesn't follow sensibly from theDragon's Prophet is pretty, and includes a small number of novel concepts. Early flight makes travel much less annoying than the typical MMO, and the combo system is a big improvement over unerring autoattacks (e.g. World of Warcraft) and earlier combo systems (e.g. as Age of Conan) but is somewhat opaque and confusing. Combos aren't logical- one move doesn't follow sensibly from the previous one. It's almost as if each attack is simply followed by some unexplained follow-up that has to be memorized.

    Besides the small improvements, the game is, at its heart, "just another MMO." It begins with quests to "kill X of Y" or "gather X of Y" while you watch your mini-map for little question marks and exclamation points. The crafting system is boring and requires farming for materials, just like every other tedious MMO before it.

    The monetization system is also a bit harsh. In games such as Guild Wars 2, many mid to high level conveniences are pay-to-use, but in Dragon's Prophet, the annoying inconveniences that can only be solved by spending real world money begin immediately. Monetization is best done by giving players the option to pay for cosmetic bonuses and for conveniences that an non-paying player could do without if she is willing to put up with some austerity, and by making the purchasable conveniences mount up as the game progresses, so that players can choose to invest money after discovering whether they like the game. With Dragon's Prophet, however, the tiny inventory, dragon stable, and other annoyances make the game extremely limited from the get-go for anyone who doesn't want to put in their credit card number.

    Summary: Very little of original design or concept, annoying monetization model. A typical run from the MMO-mill.    … Expand

    OK that guy that said this isnt pay to win or pay to play is lying. You need to pay for backback space and slots for dragons. You can NOT possibly do this game with default. This guy lied to everyone. Thats you Frenk-the-Vile. Thats you.

    This game suffers from one of the worst early game experiences I have seen. If you have the patience to stick it out for a few hours it gets much better, but this makes you wonder why they would make the initial experience so bad? It is like a different team took over the content after level 20 and actually knew what they were doing.

    The game is not horrible, it won't eat your babies or stab your cat or anything. The combat is far better than similar games like ff14 or wow, but the targeting seems heavily based on luck, especially when fighting more than one thing at a time. Ranged classes are somewhat of a joke as nothing stays at range for more than a couple hits and your escape abilities take so long to animate the mob is right on top of you again by the time it finishes.
    Overall id say this is a good game for free, but I wouldn't put any money into it yet. Dropped them a few points for making inventory expansion cost real money then filling your bags with unstack-able useless crap much like Neverwinter does. Never use auto loot, it will drive you crazy pretty quickly.
    It's passable: combat is fun, graphics are horrid, and it starts wanting to stick its fingers in your pockets before your even really settled in. I would play it now cause I doubt it's going to be around later    … Expand

    I played this game since 'open beta' and I know some things about this game.

    Positive things: This game is really nice... you can make levels more easily compared to other mmorpg. It is a free to play and you can get your free (tamable) mount since low levels. You can have your own dragon. You can train your own dragon. You can fight while mounting your dragon (really fantastic)    I played this game since 'open beta' and I know some things about this game.

    Also free-user has a chance to get their own big ancient dragon.

    This game saves your progress in real time (so also if you crush... you don't lose anything)

    The main story is good...

    There are nice events as 'halloween event', 'merry-christmas'....and there are some free useful stuffs for all "free-users".

    It is a good game everytime in expansion and in evolution...

    Negative things
    At the beginning maybe is a little hard because you have many options, panels, and maybe you can be disorientated from that. However are similar to other mmorpgs (otherwise there are settings where you can modify what you want)... Online there is a forum and a wiki with some useful guides.

    The game sometimes (usually) crushes. Randomly.

    In every new patch you can see old bugs fixed... and new bugs that comes... but Isn't it a problem for those who knows 'Skyrim'     … Expand

    I know its a free to play game, but there are some corners you just never cut. Such as interaction sounds for gathering nodes. The lack of those is really disturbing. "Hold mouse button to attack". Why not just do what everything else did and lock target and auto attack? There has never been an issue with that system...

    Let me start off by saying that this game is far from perfect. Even in its public release, [at the time of writing this] the game is still rigged with bugs and performance issues that might turnoff some people. I know... because it already turned some of my friends off early on when they were playing the beginning stages of the game with me. Sad really.

    Another thing that must be said    Let me start off by saying that this game is far from perfect. Even in its public release, [at the time of writing this] the game is still rigged with bugs and performance issues that might turnoff some people. I know... because it already turned some of my friends off early on when they were playing the beginning stages of the game with me. Sad really.

    Another thing that must be said is that this MMO feels catered to true fans of the genre. I know many of you will bash me when I say that the typical "Loot X, Kill Y" quests are ok for this game to have, but I think it all depends on the individual's exposure to the genre. Played RPGs for 10 years straight? Then I think for the most part, you've seen all there is to questing... [fetch, escort, group, raid, etc] until something truly groundbreaking happens. Yes, it is true that the developers did not truly innovate something new within the genre, but as far as a fun game goes, this game has a lot of potential. It still may not be polished the way we want it to be, but I have faith. Let's break this game down a bit.

    Pros:
    - Active Action-Based Combat System:

    As mentioned before, depending on your exposure to the MMO genre, your reaction to this game will vary. For the most part, within the genre, I only played World of Warcraft SINCE RELEASE. As much as I still occasionally enjoy logging in, I was about ready for something new. I can not tell you the joy I experienced when I played with this combat system within an MMO game.

    Taking hints from other MMOs like Tera, in this Action-Based combat system, Dragon's Prophet uses auto-target and combo systems to give you fast-action gameplay. With an emphasis on precision, skill, and wide range of tactical options, Dragon's Prophet's engaging battles set it apart from other traditional MMOs. Combat is fluid, you can attack multiple targets at once with a single click, chain your attacks and skills into devastating combos, etc. Oh... did I mention that you can also DOUBLE-JUMP!? You can also attack from your jump! You can also dodge and run towards or away from danger!

    -DRAGONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    THIS IS WHAT THE GAME IS ABOUT! The world is shaped by dragon-kind, with over 300 different dragons that roam the land in search of riders. You can fight, capture, train, and ride them in order to unlock their unique skills and abilities. Think of vanilla WoW hunters. You see a dragon you like, try to capture it, and use it as a mount, gatherer, fighter, wingman, w/e. People like to refer to the Dragon system to Pokemon and I'll have to agree. No two dragons are the same. If you capture 2 Lockjaws, they both will have different stats, skills, and spells that you're allowed to hotkey. It is through dragons that you define your experience with this game. Play the melee Guardian class but still want to heal? Then go hunt several dragons and hope they come with healing spells and there you go! That is the driving force behind this game.

    Think of it like this for those who've played an MMO where you needed to be a certain level to acquire a certain skill. You think to yourself, "Oh man, when I hit this level I get 'Spell X'! I can't wait to try it!" As a result, you end up playing more so you can reach that goal.

    With Dragons' factors such as appearance, skills, effectiveness, and included stats, those should inspire the player to keep hunting for exactly what they want.

    - PvP and Housing [Personal and Guild]:
    The Frontier System within Dragon’s Prophet allows players to compete against each other in a persistent conflict over the archipelago of Sky Islands above the world of Auratia. It allows guilds to come together and form Alliances, which can attack the islands of an enemy and claim it for themselves. Once an island has been captured, it is up to the Alliance to defend the island from potential adversaries.

    The Frontier System is comprised of three main sub-systems: Citadel System [The attack and defense of an island], Highlord System [The governing and maintenance of an island], and Housing System [The player housing located on the individual islands].

    Cons:
    - In-game transactions:
    Let me try to make this very clear. This game is NOT PAY-TO-WIN... I would rather call it PFC [PAY-FOR-CONVENIENCE]. There is nothing that I have noticed within the marketplace that gives you any extra power over one another, and TECHNICALLY, 99.9% of this game is accessible Free-To-Play.

    HOWEVER, even though this is a F2P title, the game does not hesitate to make you notice that paying for SC [Station Cash] is a viable option. Do you want more slots to hold more Dragons? Expect to pay. More bank slots? Expect to pay. More bag space? Expect to pay. I don't know how else to word this without it sounding like endless ranting, so I'll just end it here.

    Conclusion:
    All in all, this game is just yet another typical MMO that [what I feel] provides a fresh and unique experience for those who want to try a new MMO.    … Expand

    Game has a lot of potential. Combat could be fun. Mount system and lots of dragons are good, and the housing system is spot on.
    HOWEVER.
    This game is complete garbage in two ways First, the opening few hours are disgusting. 100%. They are so slow, boring, endless cutscenes with lip-syncing that I would expect from a PS1 game and the subtitles do not math the voices. Speaking of PS1    Game has a lot of potential.

    Speaking of PS1 games, put the game on the lowest settings and you'll see what I mean. Anything that's nearing the middle-range of your vision begins to move at a few frames per second, so a character will move a good distance and have taken two steps, and that is just not acceptable for a game being released in 2013, even on lowest settings.
    On highest settings, however, the game still looks like it's something out of 2008 and yet is ridiculously hardware intensive for how bad it looks.

    I really liked this game, 'till now (1 week). I think dragons as pets & mounts are cool, combat based on combos is enjoyable and more challenging than auto-attack, and graphics is overall nice...depth of field quite sucks, but characters and obj. in landscape are good.
    I think the point is: will this cost me money? Not so much, not just to play...it's not a P2W for what i've seen.

    The Combat is good and the amount of skills to use is Goldy-lox. I find that when a Game Implements tons of Spells it Takes away from the Game Experience. I've stopped playing games due to spending too much time messing with the loads of spells that my character has and doesn't really need. Dragon's Prophet has uses a handful of spells that Differ depending on the Class you choose. The best thing about the spells and combat would be the fact they have a combo system. Instead of having a plain spell it offers variety through the different combos you can use.

    There is a large area of different locations in this World of Dragons. The Character Creation process is done very well since they have Implemented a Percentage Based Customization Process. You are offered the experience of going into immense detail when it comes to the different categories of the Character Creation Process.

    To be Straight forward... This is a Great Game especially for being so New.
    Whoever says this game isn't enjoyable or poorly made is either having a bad day or is a pessimistic downer who enjoys spreading negativity wherever they venture.
    This Game is Well made and is Free To Play so forgive me if I don't see how someone wouldn't enjoy playing a Well made game where you can go out and capture a dragon and use it as a mount to go fly around.    … Expand

    The targeting needs work. A few of the controls could be explained. Layout of the menus are a little complicated. Overall though I found a lot of fun with the dragons but the platforming is sweet. Dashing into a double jump to clear a gap to get into an area where a hidden dragon is is a awesome.

    The only thing good about this game is that it includes dragons and action based combat style this is the only reason why this game is still alive.

    Everything is RNG, your gear's stats, attribute transfer, dragon skill transfer, dragon skill slots and stats. Even if you buy it with daimonds to obtain those things it is still RNG. I know players that bought 50 whips and was only able to transfer 1 skill over to his dragon.

    There are dragons that can only be purchased by real money and some of these dragons are faster flyers than any other drake you can get ingame.

    Do not join this game if you think you are going to capture a drake and think you are the one of only a select few that will have this drake.

    There is also a huge gap between free players and paying players when it comes to pvp, speaking of pvp it is utterly unbalanced with rangers being OP. Melee class is at a high disadvantage against bosses due to their attacks are aimed to KO close range players in a few shots.

    Can't comment on housing but to own an apartment isn't bad. You do have free reign exactly you want to do on ur piece of land but plots arnt always availible and if you bought a "land marker" (as I would call them) of a certain size and there isnt any well tough luck, hope there comes more islands in the future so you can spend that "land marker"

    Guild system is lacking and players never seem to stay so you are constantly looking for guild members if you are the hardcore type. This game is utterly buggy and your 1st thing your going to do is find out how to minimise your crashing (here's a few tips: delete your 64bit.exe file and also turn you windows theme into basic, take note some dragon skill also cause crashing) some dungeons players even avoid due to crashes or dungeon reset or black screen.

    In the 1st hour of play you will imediatly feel the need to purchase daimonds cause you need dragon space, you need bag space, you need bank space, you want that dragon pack. Well more so to get rid of the things that annoys you.

    Like I said the only reason why players stay is cause this game has dragon you can capture and fight a long side u, but this game is really unpolished so do not expact a lot other than that.    … Expand

They only care about the people who can play the game. like wouldnt it make sense to make the game more enjoyable to all before they add big PvP battles.

    To find a wild dragon, you have to compete with every other player once every 4 days at a certain time or a random time.
    In order to maximize playing, you have to spend over $50 a month to open your backpack and dragon holding spots. This also includes trying to add skills or slots to your dragons.
    Many players have different accounts and exploit a housing bug to trade items to each character.
    OH! and what you spend on one character (backpack slots, etc.) does not extend to your other characters.
    The DPS is not correct because tanks and such do just as much damage as an archer or mage, so don't play a mage. Max level is 94 and gaming is worse than topping off of WoW, and the storyline is boring.

    I love the armours! There are many different styles and designs at every level.

    In contrast the crafted armours are the same three designs the whole way up which really sucks and seems pointless to me, however if you craft armours for the stats only then it doesn't matter.

    You can buy a potion to convert any outfit you like to a costume which is really neat and you don't have to pay real money as you also can earn a currency in game which can be used in cash shop for many items.

    There is a beauty shop which you can pay with real money or the currency you can get in game.

    I used cash a lot to buy expansions and extra slots and the occasional dragon!

    I loved taming and training dragons and can see that aspect of the game getting better. The levelling was the typical grind of mmos but slightly better; using a dragon you can fly in, drop down kill the boss and fly out again without that tedious fighting 200 mobs to get to objective and then fight 200 mobs to leave the area after completed objective.

    It feels amazing to fly anywhere you want, I loved that!

    At about level 50ish xp starts to get harder to get, if you are soloing the game I found that by the time my characters were getting to levels 60-70 they were under levelled for the area I was working in. This meant either I would have to buy levelling potions in cash shop or grind the area dungeons which is NOT fun. Or wait for an event- triple xp or double xp weekend. As a result I have a number of high level characters waiting on weekend events so I can keep levelling them. I would like to see this problem sorted as there are a lot better ways to spend money in game than on levelling help.

    Crafting for me was fairly unrewarding. I would recommend weapon crafting as the only possibly useful thing in the game, alchemy was pointless, potions and buffs easily bought in each town shops. The buff potions were only for a few seconds and I wouldn't bother with such short buff potions.

    Lots of loot dropping which is nice and you are able to dismantle this for upgrades for existing armours and weapons. The dragons system is very in-depth and does take a while to master but well worth it. I really enjoyed that aspect of my game.

    Story is meh but dungeons are mostly cool as in I could handle them solo which I love to be able to do!
    I know mmos are supposed to be social places but I really haven't the time or energy to get chummy with people in game. You end up following around some 14 year old and helping them to 'level' Ick!

    Dragon's Prophet is a pretty standard MMO with all the features you come to expect with MMOs today.

However, the character models and armor appear to be low quality. Overall, while repetitive in quest grind, it is a fun game where you can tame just about any dragon you encounter and use it as pet or mount. I would normally give it an 8, however I gave it a 10 to offset the ridiculous zeros. This is a polished, high profile studio game, not some f2p,half finished game from some no name company. Zero is simply uncalled for.… Expand

    Positives:
    Dragons

    End

    Negatives: performance problems, bugs bugs bugs bugs and even more bugs!
    a lot of people cant play this game properly even at roughly 10 FPS where the same PC works fine on much MUCH more complex games and grafical spectacles. The support on European servers has no clue what their doing and tell roughly 80% of people to ask the forums as if people in the forums would know the ansers to game related problems.
    Patches are never tested and always patched, then crashing and so on and so on.

    The Cash Politic on the euro-serversare most likely: pay or lose
    and a lot of people REFUSE to pay anymore because of said problems.
    Servers are empty and performance drops underground for no apperant reason.

    This game really is bad if it wasnt for the dragon part where this still has the monopole on. Create a proper Dragon related MMO on a PROPER game Engine (Yes they created their own engine wich grills grafic cards with extreme temperature while not even using them halveway) and Dragons Prophet will soon be forgotten. It is a forgettable game wch had so much promise in the beginning wich dissapoints their player more and more everyday    … Expand

    In my opinion best MMORPG 2013/2014. It is basically Runes of Magic with dragons and better Free2Play model - it is fair now, no Pay2Win and no need to pay anything! Dragons are great addition to the game, you have unlimited free mounts, you can train them, fly them, breed them and much more.

    Anyone who wants a summary of positive/negative aspects of the game? Here are the most notable I've read. (My opinion will be at the bottom)

    Negative aspects: -Pay to win (micro transactions for more inventory,bank,dragon stable/lair space seems to be the main concerns) -Graphics (outdated and bad performance/hardware ratio) -Grind (leveling, linear quests) Positive aspects:    Anyone who wants a summary of positive/negative aspects of the game? Here are the most notable I've read. (My opinion will be at the bottom)

    Negative aspects:
    -Pay to win (micro transactions for more inventory,bank,dragon stable/lair space seems to be the main concerns)
    -Graphics (outdated and bad performance/hardware ratio)
    -Grind (leveling, linear quests)

    Positive aspects:
    -dragons (Able to tame, train and fight besides your dragons, let them gather resources and teach each other and yourself skills)
    -combat system (action combat, fun combo's)
    -housing system (better than other mmo's)
    -items (big variety in amount and stylishness/epicness)

    My opinion:
    -I'm very glad I started playing DP, because after the reviews I didn't plan on it, but boredom convinced me in the end (It is addictive! Taming dragons for their dragon souls, leveling for your new masteries, getting a nice reward from an achievement,...)
    -I'm not a person who complains about pay2win/pay2play and about grind easily. You will be fed up with a mmo FAST when you can become max level in a few hours. The "grind" in this game, made me try and do it more efficiently. In this game it means more fun: train my dragon more, think about my combos/masteries/gear, do events/dungeons, achievements,... With daily rewards you can get many items you can pay for. It also doesn't hurt to spend a few $ on something in a f2p game. I mean I would rather spend 10€ in a f2p game i've enjoyed for hours than buying 5*2€ chocolates for my gf=more fun for me, less fat for her^^
    -The graphics didn't make me enjoy it less (Anyone who still plays old addictive games like Might and Magic 6-8, Baldur's Gate,... knows what I'm talking about).

    Soyea I would recommend this game, especially if you are bored of other mmo's and enjoyed Aion, Vindictus, Guild Wars 1/2 and Tera and if you don't think you deserve everything like max lvl, awesome items, etc. for 0 effort:p    … Expand

    I have to admit I spent a lot of time on this game (36 hours), before it started to get boring. The main awesome point is that you can ride dragons, aaand there it is, it's pretty much it.

    The rest is pretty straight forward, it's RPG, with the "go there, kill everything, comeback" system. There is a housing system, which is not that good and/or necessary.

    Good character creation options, this is the only feature that works on my rig, after that the game horribly locks up and wont start again, so yes, i cant write a good review because i cant play it, its horribly bugged, horribly optimized, and what i've seen on screenshots and gameplay on youtube, it looks horrible also...

"we're sorry, your computers just aren't advanced enough to play our game." so not only do the staff ignore an obvious problem, they're arrogant morons to. 2 of the 3 things that make or break a game for me are dev response to player issues and playability, and for that dragons prophet fails on its ass.

    Pros:
    +Can get a flying mount that also doubles as an attack pet (and resource gathering minion if you want it to )within first five- 10 mins of playing. This costs nothing. ALL MMOS SHOULD ADOPT THIS !!! If you have a pet thats big enough to ride , it should be able to attack for ya.
    +Lots of dragons to tame and alot of them look really cool +easy learning curve +smooth and enjoyable    Pros:

    +Lots of dragons to tame and alot of them look really cool
    +easy learning curve
    +smooth and enjoyable combat (at least smooth on my machine)
    +Getting hit doesn't knock you off your mount
    +No cost for respec under lvl 15
    +Nice main quest path with side quests all along the way
    +Housing system which is not just for looks
    +extensive crafting system

    Cons:
    - Extremely limited inventory , dragon lair, and bank space. This is a bit tough to handle in the beginning and getting to 20 doesnt give much relief (get a free row of inv which is 5 or 6 spaces at 10 and 20)This can be unlocked for "diamonds" which are the cash currency. its roughly 1500 diamonds for 5 bucks , and that's more then enough to get all the inventory you need but it just feels like you're paying to make that part of the game not suck, which doesn't feel good.
    -mobs drop a lot of trash that fill up your inventory quickly (and at first its difficult to know which stuff is trash and which is worth keeping)
    -Classes seem unbalanced ; As another review stated, mobs close the gap between you pretty quickly which make the archer and mage classes basically glass cannons that are always going to take hits. The oracle class (cloth wearing AoE melee class) is strange but IMO the most fun of the 4 classes. The last class which i forget the name of but is the main tank class and wears heavy armor can deal out decent damage which makes archer and mage even less viable .why play a glass cannon when you can play a titanium cannon?
    -Crashes to desktop on average 1-2 times per play session (2-4 hours)
    -crafting some items (with increased chance to produce rare results) costs diamonds
    -chat functions are a bit clunky , you have to get a cursor by hitting esc or one of the other character screen hotkeys and then click in the typing area to get your cursor (typing /w or /t or any slash command doesn't work without placing cursor first)

    Overall I would definitely recommend giving this game a try . Especially if you like the concept of taming different dragons that are mounts and attack pets.    … Expand

    Yes there are tons of dragons and yes, you're gonna catch 'em all, but sadly this is not enough to recommend Dragon's Prophet. Under scales and tusks there is an ordinary MMORPG with boring quests and too much grinding in it, and the old graphics engine doesn't help to keep players engaged, but at least it's free to play.

    Dragon's Prophet is a pretty standard MMORPG enriched with some action and tons dragons. Those aren't just mounts but friends, helpers, allies, enemies and ancient gods. Unfortunately, they live in a pretty boring world.
