Edit (4/6/24): Everything I’ve said here still stands except they are sinking more and more into greed. It’s very sad. What an awful and corrupt company HB is. I really do love the game, but I don’t know if I can stay any longer.

I can tell that the art team behind DVC is passionate about the game, and it shows. The sprites are fantastic, the game is charming and fun, and I love the dragons’ designs. I bought the membership because I’ve been having a great time with it. But I think that the corporate end of the game is becoming more and more greedy, and the management pushes for a pay to win model. Everything has a microtransaction currency now. Rates for F2P players are deceptively low and everything is getting so convoluted with so many half-finished projects (the coliseum, pvp, stroll, etc). The new dragon drink system is the last straw for me and I think I will be cancelling my membership. I really enjoy this game, truly, but it’s becoming far too predatory for me to keep supporting. Edit: And now they’ve removed stroll, which let players get some free growth, only forcing the drinks more. Ridiculous.

So, in terms of mobile games this game is great. It’s playable as a F2P player, and it doesn’t chokehold progress as you get farther if you don’t pay money.

However, it still very much feels like a mobile game. In order to rename dragons, you need to watch ads. Every time. Also, attempting to finish quests is a joke. You need dispatch items, and F2P players can get a max of one free a day, and one more from an ad. There are chances for getting dispatch tickets elsewhere, but you can’t really get more than three dispatches a day.

This is a problem when you need hundreds of dispatches to complete a single stage in a quest. The quests need to be nerfed, or dispatches need to be buffed.

Events are also egregiously P2W. Or in some cases, not even paying players have a chance.

Take the Xmas event for an example, in terms of F2P it has been really good. Expect for the special form of the event dragon. We were told the chances for the special form would be increased on Xmas, however it is the time they said chances would be increased, and paying players have spent hundreds or thousands of diamonds trying to get it.

It is ridiculous that you are not only harming F2P players, but also P2W players. It’s my expectation that if you give your money to a game, the game rewards you for your support.

This game is really close to perfect and to feeling like professional game alongside games like Minecraft and Among Us. Take those extra steps!
