It is my great pleasure to announce the newest expansion to come to Dragon Saga SEPTEMBER 1st ...
New Origins: Into the Darkness!


A great darkness has covered the land of Dragon Saga and the world as you knew it has changed. Continents have shifted and a whole new race, Dragonkin, have appeared to help the Dragon Fellowship during their darkest time.

Will you rise to fight this Darkness?

Are you brave enough to challenge Elga, the Dark Dragon Lord?


With the coming update are several game Balances that will come into effect. These changes have been part of an ongoing discussion with Gravity Games, based on feedback collected from you, the players. If you have any feedback you would like to provide us regarding these changes or other changes please post it here.

Game Balances

Skill Changes:


-Aim Rate Soulcraft Options will be doubled for accessories.

-All Fire and Water Guardian Set items will be changed back to their previous stat bonuses that were originally received during THQ*ICE. The changes to the new bonuses was a bug.

Fire Guardian Set:

Fire Guardian Helm

Fire Guardian Top

Fire Guardian Bottom

Fire Guardian Shoulders

Fire Guardian Gloves

Fire Guardian Shoes

Fire Guardian Backpack

Water Guardian Set:

Water Guardian Helm

Water Guardian Top

Water Guardian Bottom

Water Guardian Shoulders

Water Guardian Gloves

Water Guardian Shoes

Water Guardian Backpack

Due to the amount of time it has taken to correct this bug, we will be offering all player that currently own a piece of the above gear, 2 W-Coin, 8 Soul Box (contains 999souls), and 2 50g Pouches per piece of gear currently on the character.Character must have items in inventory to received these items. Equipped and pieces in Vault will not earn these items.

Production System: (More to be addressed during New Origins Update)
- Soulcraft (Option) Expander modified to not be applied in PvP Areas (PvP, Battlesquare, Emporia). The display will still show the Option Expanded rate in these zones, but the function is disabled.
- Result of Soul Extractor Capsules to show the correct stat after the Soulcraft Option has been extracted from an item.

Also many have asked why we have delayed our update to other partners, the reason for this is they have broken the update into two chunks. However we have decided to release this patch as one big one instead. Allowing players to taste both the Twin fighter and the Shaman.

LET THE COMPLAIN BEGIN!

[necoconeco]

I look forward to playing as a fighter and beating up on those poor dragoons

[wahehehe]

Been waiting so long for this! Thanks a ton!

On a side note, how exactly are the guardian pieces nerfed? I don't remember the THQ stats so if anyone could clarify that'd help.

[Hastur]

Also just to clarify, we will be releasing BOTH parts of the New Origins update at one, which includes both new classes not just one.

[braingle]

Finally!!!

dear gawd...

first off there were no stats in THQ.
NONE.
i want to know who's bright idea this was. i cannot even fathom the level of rage this is going to bring about.
1w coin and a soul box seems like a pittance in comparison for a "bug" that's been in place for well over a year.
why is it that when something gets screwed up there's always a painfully convenient "bug" to blame for it? all i can say is i hope you're ready for the torrent of "displeasure" this "fix" is going to bring about...
brace yourself...

And the level 80 cap as well?

[EnderW]

RE: guardian sets.

If it was a bug as you claim does this mean you are going to fix the guardian medals? because they used to have stats on them on THQ and since the move to warp the stats on the medal was removed.

Also what about the equips from the mixboard with extra stats on them are they are bug that is going to be removed too?

(p.s. 1 w coin and a soul box is stuff all)

-Aim Rate Soulcraft Options will be doubled for accessories.

and now stacking any evade for PvP is pointless because anyone with just a little aim will be able to hit anyway grats you took a problem and reversed it rather than fix it.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!

[Astronix]

We've called it a bug since we found out these changes were made without our knowledge, these cahnges were never our intention and caused major imbalances ingame. Unforutantely its taken this long for Gravity Games to give us a fix, as they were working on more major issues.

Kazu731, on 24 August 2011 - 10:28 PM, said:

Yes that will come as well, and so much more!

[Kazu731]

This week's worth of enduring is made better by the fact that I will have a +20 Blizz Muffler to kick off New Origins with. Life is wonderful!

[Astronix]

Hastur, I beg to you to reconsider our old offer, if you are goin to change it, I think they are goin to be useless now, so why no change it for a angel/devil set if the player wants??

So will the fix mean fixing the guardian medals that also came with the sets? (they used to have stats and since the move to warpportal had the stats removed)

I do not believe that was included in what i posted, so no this fix will not effect the Guardian Medals. As to whether the stats will be returned to them, i am unsure but i can say it has been forwarded to the Dev Team.

Well the stats should be returned to them...you are after all fixing "bugs" right?
