Dragon Update Patch Notes (Discussion Thread) (Part 2)

You’re not even remotely funny with that one

I wasn’t even trying to be funny? Why would I even bother trying to humor someone?

90% sure the person you explained resistance to was being sarcastic or trying to be funny when saying the stat was made up. (with the stat being rarely used/not seen as good)

So when you actually went and explained the stat, Bio might have thought you were trying to be funny by humoring westloon through leaning into the ‘joke’ by actually explaining the stat westloon was probably only pretending didn’t exist.

idk, my best guess :skull:

It’s a guess we don’t know the stats

that would be a useless stat if it did exist, good thing it doesnt, that would be stupid.

Youre funny kid, one day I think youll be a great comedian

I don’t know why the dragon armor colors would be anything more than cosmetic. Making them play into stats would just be more arbitrary grinding on top of an already arbitrary grind. It also means that only two of the armor colors would be generally useful always (power & defense) while the rest are useless for 90% of a patch. Just seems like a bad decision overall.

You will trudge through the ds for several irl days to find an adult dragon with the right color and you will like it

But then it drops a weapon, not armor

That’s why you bring several alts

Oh yeah speaking of

Tf are the weapons gonna have if the colors played into stats? If they are just cosmetic why would the armor color not ALSO be cosmetic?

Red weapons inflict severe bleeding instead of regular bleeding

I want the comedy of weapon colors being cosmetic

oh damn i forgot the color also affect weapon drop actually

wonder how that works, could be interesting, im hoping for different status, but i feel like it would just be different stat distributions

Idk if this is a hot take but I think dragons would be immensely lame if they had a single stat tied to a color because it just makes them disappointing to encounter if they aren’t a stat you want.

“I went to the far reaches to find an ancient dragon and all I got was this orange shirt with Armor Piercing!” type shit

it definitely isnt considering power and defense aka the main stats are among the 9 colors meaning unless you’re going for some niche build encounter a dragon will likely be a waste of your time 7/9 times

good thing i will be murdering them anyway because i love collecting things

imagine its like arcaniums, of course theres gonna be power and defense BUUUUT older the dragon is has a larger percentage distribution, light is power leaning, heavy is defense leaning, and colors dictate wether or not substats are added to it (while some colors go all in to power defense)
so example, blue heavy chestplate gives 19 power 90 defense with 40 dexterity vs black heavy chestplate gives 27 power, 110 defense or smthn along those lines lol

also i think it would be very interesting if corrupted variants gave same style of drops but with drawback in exchange for buffed variants, like of course scaling wise it would be under ancient and dragonlord drops but still, could be cool

Again this really just seems like more arbitrary grind on top of an already arbitrary grind

At least the drop rates seem to be 100%, but even that isn’t certain

Dragon scales should be used for armor crafting. Maybe making blacksmiths have a use.

Basicly using it as currency to buy items similar to skyhall silver, but instead of “buy”, it will be “craft”
