This game by far has the most toxic community I've ever seen in an animal sim. Like I think this is the only game I've seen where clan are 90% of the playerbase and all they do is come up with more and more unhinged and complex strategies just to kill a single person. I have no idea how it's gratifying to win when you are jumping someone. Sometimes I wonder what could be happening in their lives to have to get out this much hate towards random people online.
Toxicity is usually a sign for a miserable life or a terrible upbringing. lol, when a group of them get together, it's like that and then there's the case of the weak hearted just following suit ,who probably don't agree but are just too puxxy to speak up and then there's the case of the ones who really have no friends outside of the game and also just follow orders
Why I skipped out on getting this title, been around long enough I could see the toxicity before it even existed, sadly I was right, really wish I wasn't. Not worth the stress.
Fought that clans dragons like a champ to the very end. It was an awesome journey. That reminds me though, the reason why animals in the wild do not take revenge and sometime don't even bother to chase and actively seek out a prey who gets away from them is because they values their stamina and energy to survive. Chasing a prey for too long or chasing and fighting other animals for "revenge" is just not worth the effort for them, that is straight up human mentality.
Eh, plenty of intelligent animals are vengeful. Elephants, dolphins, chimps, the like. It’s not exclusively human :) but it is exceedingly rare. The higher the IQ, the more capacity for nefariousness ~
Day of dragons - Honestly, it makes me shudder and sneer anytime I hear that name. Scammers, con artists, charlatans. Those are just some names that come to mind when thinking of the day of dragons team.
You've been watching too much youtube drama videos, do you think if it was a scam that people would still be playing it? You were scammed out of playing a really cool game.
this game looks like a unity asset flip but they stared at the isle and tried to give it an isle paintjob. my hat is off to you for tolerating dogshit but the rest of us have standards.
As a backer, this games devs care more about merch announcements or ingame events then developing. Dragons like bio whom are the fastest dragons can just mark you neon and safely track you for the clans. Drakes are also locked behind a pay wall and are fucking op steals your Stam boys. Then there's the newest dlc dragon that is also faster then there toothless, can summon storms and can stun you, locked behind a pay wall. Sure you can be nested in. But because it's a clan sweat fest game you will never get to unless you buy the dlc. Or join a can.
The blitz is so weak im shocked that it's dlc. (No pun intended) They made a snake like dragon with less ground mobility than a wyvern. The drake is basically overpowered anti air. The devs also abandoned the realism they mentioned for cute colorful skins. The devs seem to have no direction planned even for their main commodity. Imagine if in GTA 5 the cars didn't work properly..that's 80% of the total product being non functional. And don't get me started on the fact dragons survive by mushrooms and crystals...smh

Such an ignorant comment, their sound designer is Simon Chylinski who made the sounds for Subnautica. So I guess subnautica sounds were just from public domain too. Such a dumb statement.
It's a shame that no one does anything about clans, surely devs and server owners see how it's killing their already small playerbase? If the damn Isle can have servers that ban mixpacking and mega packs then surely the half a million dollar game can muster something up
A very close battle there in the middle! The flying battles were the funnest thing that game has, and it's such a shame the baby baited you in but very sweet that you tried to raise it. A shame the game is like this. I stopped playing after only a few months. That community is 1. Toxic 2. Petty 3. Immature 4. Pay to win 5. No moderation or care from the dev team towards the community (they seem to encourage the clan behavior) ...at this point it's hard to see it ever changing. It seems more likely a different team will make the exact same game but better and with less swindling. I always enjoy your videos and narrations even if it brings back bad memories of my own time playing.
draconia, wings of dawn. are the two games that will apperently be the better versions of this. mind you i am basing this entirely off of previuos comments on this video.
@@halogeek6I’ve played Draconia and I personally wouldn’t say it’s much better, I got bored of it pretty quickly 😅 Wings of Dawn looks more promising though, it just isn’t out yet.
@@SplotchTG i dont think they were roleplaying i think it was just easier for the dude to understand they were mad over the hatchling instead of saying their name or my friend
@@babychips. what do you mean? they killed the baby dragon immediately. even if they were friends, the people are still really weird for tricking and manipulating new players in order to attack them.
Wow, never thought day of dragons would be getting some love on this channel. Heard a lot of bad things about it, but I’m excited for the video and how you play it!
As a semi-consistent player of DoD, I really wish it didn't have this bad of a wrap, it has SO much potential but a lot of impatient and some patient players following its tail. I've been playing custom servers with friends bc it's just better and less dramatic. PvE people sometimes want to help new players but I've heard of some SUPER toxic behavior. I would recommend Organized Choas (where some people do custom community games, as i don't want to be rude to Owl and shout another channel out w/out permission, I won't unless told otherwise) And a small semi-realism server called Leviathan Semi-Realism. It has its own discord and whitelisting BUT they have rules to balance out the ages of dragons per fight WHICH heavily makes the game more fun. Ofcourse I wish they would have a few servers for Solo/Mini Group (size of mother and her eggs and maybe dad, just so it encourages smaller groups, fighting at once in the server) and not just in 1 country, like accessible to 3 or 4 major region of the earth and not just the US where people will get kicked for x y or z problem... Anyways I think time will do this game wonders... and a new crowd to surround it in. Especially people that follow Owl; it's a long grow, quick combat and depending on the dragon species/class, you can decide to leave the combat or outlive it like he demonstrates a third way into the video. Which i give fckn.. HUGE props to Owl, he was 🔥 GAMING 🔥 in that moment, knew exactly how to play his dragon in that moment and it worked out. He would have 100% died on the us server but not the point 😅😂
@@Cross3x7how is it fun? The gameplay loop is literally just killing AI and dying to clans. The fact this game got half a million dollars on kickstarter and still has a terrible gameplay loop and no content is astonishing to me
I remember when this game got famous because of the controversy. You can see how the devs influence the player base, everyone remaining is a clan player with the P2W dragons. You managed to make a great story even with the low quality game/community
speaks to the state of DoD that a (prbbly asset flip knowing jao) fire trail affect is impressive lmao look into wings of dawn for a less scammy dragon game, fellow dragon lovers :)
how do you know wings of dawn isnt a scam? they haven't released anything yet, which means its a scam until it isnt. Dod isnt a scam because its actually releasing updates
@@Cross3x7Once every 6 to 8 months per update 😂 Also Wings of Dawn haven't released anything yet because it's still in the testing phase. They're not going to throw out any slop and sell it as full price like DoD did! 😂
@@Cross3x7 Sure, a project made with 80% assets from the unreal store, that rip-off his creature designs from the HTTYD franchise and for which every playable creature is paid DLC while still being an early access ISN'T a Scam. Of course not, why would it be ? Don't forget your daily dose of copium, or else you might start to notice how ugly-looking it is as well xD
The game has some huge potential, but the toxicity of the clans, and to a lesser extent the fact that the only populated servers are clan servers, is what will ultimately kill the game. They actively ruin the new player experience, and drive new people away from the game. Regardless of my own thoughts and opinions on the state of the game's community and it's lackluster developer speed, I thoroughly enjoyed the video, Owl! Watching you fend off that clan was *chef's kiss* perfect.
As a IR (Inferno Ravager) you can burn out the spit of a Biolumin (That shit that painted you by the end of the vid) using your Q, also that same Q will make it so that biting you its a bad idea too or even flying close enough to you if im not wrong.
If you don't mind tips, OwL, the IR's Inferno ability burns away the acid/decay from ASDs and reduces damage from Plasma Shots and Lightning Attacks iirc, maybe just plasma. Either way, your storytelling is amazing as always, and I love watching your PvP content as always. Maybe one day you can get an elder of your own to fight with, there's guides out about the crystals and how to use them. Look forward to your next one, and good to see you back!
Yeah these clans most likely roleplay and roleplay fights which is probably why they go crazy on solos. Though it doesn't look very fun for solo players that just want to pvp.
I won't say I'm not entertained as you can make any game extremely engaging to watch, but I am sad to see this game getting attention. Most of the dragon designs are stolen, I feel it to be a cash grab, and feel it was marketed deceptively.
Your videos are really entertaining even tho I don't play any of them myself. The story telling is really compelling! Found your channel yesterday and this is the 4th video since then! Great work!
I straight up kill clan members on sight for that exact reason. EVEN IF THAT MEMBER youre helping is chill, one of their clan members comes along and just kills you anyway. and i've played this game for too long for it just just be a every so often thing. naw, that is consistent and habitual among ALL clans at any point in this game. I feel like the game needs to implement an actual ecosystem full of AI's cuz the map just feels empty. suuuuure theres a bunch of terrain and different elevations and its a giant ahh map, but... theres nothing going on. its empty af. its supposed to be populated with other players, but when you get like 10-40 players on a map THIS scale... its a barren waste land.
Ay nice to see you back on Day of Dragons, The solo experience can be really harsh but I'm glad to see you stuck it out and actually enjoyed the game despite that :) I mostly duo this game with a buddy and its still super difficult to kill anyone due to all the clans.
I stopped playing when my pc couldn't handle this game anymore after a few updates, now im getting an upgrade from my old gaming laptop to a pc and I will definitely revisit this game. Great video man.
I'll give you a like and a comment since I do find your storytelling really nice. But Day of Dragons? As much as (probably all of us) yearn for a modern dragon game, DoD will never be it... I would rather try to get I of the Dragon to run on my current computer instead of paying for and installing DoD. It still amazes me that every single dragon game that comes out is remembered for ages, but there's so few of them ever made that you'd think no one ever played them... Hopefully we'll get an actual decent dragon game sometime in the future.
Fantastic stories as always Owl! You can make a engaging masterful story out of any game, I always feel so attached to your journeys. Thank you for sharing and making these amazing videos! Please remember to take care of yourself too & treat yourself as you would to a best friend! ♡
Great vid! Glad to see you covering Day of Dragons. A little flaming tip, your flame won't do damage unless your cursor is on the target as you flame. Also, if the cursor is black, there's no line of sight, and it also won't do damage.
Did everyone forget the drama with this game? Where the devs banned 2 content creators because they made a constructive criticism talking about how to make the game better..?
@@Cross3x7 No they didn't. They were banned in the Files, by the devs. Whenever their steam ID tried to open the game, it'd freeze and crash. I recommend looking up "Dirty Devs: Days Of Dragons"
@@Cross3x7 DoD hard coded certain Steam ID numberS into their game, so when an individual wIth a certain number loaded the game, it would instantly crash. Which is ILLEGAL.
Every survival game has toxic clans in them who see no issue in using ‘Russian’ tactics to win. At least those in day of dragons only have themselves to blame for destroying the player base for their beloved game. Awesome vid!
The joy I felt when I saw this uploaded, I had just watched some of your other day of dragon content last week that came out years ago...and here we are back at it again :D
@@Cross3x7 look in to this game , they had a kick starter that got a insane amount of money , used most of it on hell knows what, rarely have any good updates , most of the very few dragons are dlc (that is insane seeing as how much this game has made ) im begging you look in to the history of this game day of dragons is a KNOWN scam i have the game i regret ever getting it
Aaand that clan attack is exactly the reason why I refuse to support this game. Unless the devs somehow fix the clan issue they will not have new players and the game will die
Hey OT! Great video as always! I am a dragon lover, from the very beginning days of Dungeons and Dragons. I enjoy watching your video of this game, but it really is the same old story. Beautiful game ruined by allowing clans to run the server. I cannot even think of how they could stop it either... too bad...
Sorry Owl, I know you had fun, but even watching you struggling to find anything was painful . All that kickstarter money and they can't fill up the map a little bit more? Idk.... too many red flags with this game for me, personally, and the constant clan wars just reeks of toxicity.
Man, great video/story. Was so happy to see you bloody the nose of that clan. Also very funny that you sent an Elder fleeing before that.. (it broadcasted with a very deep voice.) As for the game.. mixed feelings for me. I love dragons. The game is very cinematic and the flight physics are amazing. Sound and models amazing. But the clan-centred design is terrible. They do have some no-clan server but as you said the player base is small. I think the biggest issue is that the world is ultimately very empty. AI isn't very varied or fun to hunt AI. Only slightly dangerous. So PvE is stale if you're not into PVP. If you are into PVP baby stage is pretty long and boring. I think they got a lot more work to do to fill in the game and people are tired of waiting for the mega map and everything else promised. Fyi, I think using the fire cloak ability will shed acid and prevent it in the first place.

I got DoD a year ago after seeing lots of content on it, especially yours, I have fallen in love with the acid spitter and am trying my best to survive as a solo, (I have yet to get a kill on an adult dragon). Thanks for the awesome videos! Was watching my subscription feed for the DoD update one
Love this channel man. Not a huge fan of watching others play games because it's mainly screaming and immature antics. But you do something different. You make a story out of it, you make it engaging, worth our time to watch. I appreciate it.
So wait... its a game where the few remaining players group together to destroy everyone else. That sounds like a good mentality for making other people enjoy the same game that depends on other players having fun to function. Going 5v1 looks like so much fun! Why not... you know... make a clan, split into different groups and spread out the population of a server instead of noob-killing lol
Because they don’t care about longevity, other players, or the state of the game. They care about the dopamine hit they get when they gang up to pile-drive new or solo peeps on the server into not wanting to even touch pvp servers or hear about the clan system. Clans may not be inherently bad, but seeing people slaughter for sport gets so dang old so quickly.
Owltime. Short time ago I found your channel after buying path of titans. Love the content keep it up bro. I also am a huge fan of tylerkoalas, found shortly after you. I've watched both of yours Herrera vids, and I would love to see you collaboration a 2 man squad. I posed the question in his love stream and he said he'd love to as well. I swore an oath to try and get this off the ground. It'll do numbers.
This game has an abundance of issues but the two biggest for me are clans on pvp servers and the fact that early game is boring and hatchlings have no defense or means of escaping other players due to the fact hatchlings cant fly are slower and less agile than their juvi and adult counterparts. Here is hoping The Wings Of Dawn does dragon survival better and of course as always its a great day when I see a new vid for Owl
very nice vid as always! you kinda seemed to love that flamethrow ability a bit too much, during many fights in the air and where enemies where in some distance it seemed like such a wasted ability
hope ya all have a good week!
Hope you have a great one too

It's a shame that no one does anything about clans, surely devs and server owners see how it's killing their already small playerbase? If the damn Isle can have servers that ban mixpacking and mega packs then surely the half a million dollar game can muster something up
there is solo PvP server. And DoD is not the isle, it wont ban mixpacking cuz PvP is about cooperation between different species.
@@willmelark1523but to get to some sort of age that poses you barely a threat to these clans takes ages. There’s literally no point
the clans are intentional, it's how the game is supposed to be played unfortunately :/
@@Dynomunch then play on servers without clans or join a clan?
A very close battle there in the middle! The flying battles were the funnest thing that game has, and it's such a shame the baby baited you in but very sweet that you tried to raise it.
A shame the game is like this. I stopped playing after only a few months. That community is 1. Toxic 2. Petty 3. Immature 4. Pay to win 5. No moderation or care from the dev team towards the community (they seem to encourage the clan behavior) ...at this point it's hard to see it ever changing. It seems more likely a different team will make the exact same game but better and with less swindling. I always enjoy your videos and narrations even if it brings back bad memories of my own time playing.
draconia, wings of dawn. are the two games that will apperently be the better versions of this. mind you i am basing this entirely off of previuos comments on this video.
@@halogeek6I’ve played Draconia and I personally wouldn’t say it’s much better, I got bored of it pretty quickly 😅
Wings of Dawn looks more promising though, it just isn’t out yet.
that dragon at 17:00 saying “drop my baby” is whats wrong with this game. the people playing it are so weird….
what do you mean it was most likely their friend who was a baby dragon what else should they say to make themselves clear?
Agreed, players role playing in a survival PVP game are so cringe . Now, see how dumb that sounds
@@SplotchTG i dont think they were roleplaying i think it was just easier for the dude to understand they were mad over the hatchling instead of saying their name or my friend
@@babychips. what do you mean? they killed the baby dragon immediately. even if they were friends, the people are still really weird for tricking and manipulating new players in order to attack them.
@@Moss_girl i dont think they meant to kill the baby
i have been with you since your first dod video... damn bro i missed that content. love from germany to down under
The fight scene reminds me of the time Vahgar backed out of a fight after Queen Rhaenyra ganged out on him😂😂.
Vhagar* and she's female :'>
Not tryna be rude I swear- I do this to everyone 🥲
thats crazy that they added ANOTHER dlc dragon while the game is still in early access. This game could of had so much potiential
February was supposed to be the launch of the full release. In October last year, they announced that. But you know, we just spread misinformation 😂
your a fantastic youtuber keep it up also plz more beasts of bermuda love ya❤
Wow, never thought day of dragons would be getting some love on this channel. Heard a lot of bad things about it, but I’m excited for the video and how you play it!
As a semi-consistent player of DoD, I really wish it didn't have this bad of a wrap, it has SO much potential but a lot of impatient and some patient players following its tail. I've been playing custom servers with friends bc it's just better and less dramatic. PvE people sometimes want to help new players but I've heard of some SUPER toxic behavior.
I would recommend Organized Choas (where some people do custom community games, as i don't want to be rude to Owl and shout another channel out w/out permission, I won't unless told otherwise)
And a small semi-realism server called Leviathan Semi-Realism. It has its own discord and whitelisting BUT they have rules to balance out the ages of dragons per fight WHICH heavily makes the game more fun.
Ofcourse I wish they would have a few servers for Solo/Mini Group (size of mother and her eggs and maybe dad, just so it encourages smaller groups, fighting at once in the server) and not just in 1 country, like accessible to 3 or 4 major region of the earth and not just the US where people will get kicked for x y or z problem...
Anyways I think time will do this game wonders... and a new crowd to surround it in. Especially people that follow Owl; it's a long grow, quick combat and depending on the dragon species/class, you can decide to leave the combat or outlive it like he demonstrates a third way into the video. Which i give fckn.. HUGE props to Owl, he was 🔥 GAMING 🔥 in that moment, knew exactly how to play his dragon in that moment and it worked out. He would have 100% died on the us server but not the point 😅😂
just cry babies that don't like to die to groups
don't believe everything you hear, its a fun game
@@Cross3x7how is it fun? The gameplay loop is literally just killing AI and dying to clans. The fact this game got half a million dollars on kickstarter and still has a terrible gameplay loop and no content is astonishing to me
@@Cross3x7it’s a literal asset flip with some of the scummiest price and sale structure on Steam.
I remember when this game got famous because of the controversy. You can see how the devs influence the player base, everyone remaining is a clan player with the P2W dragons.
You managed to make a great story even with the low quality game/community
speaks to the state of DoD that a (prbbly asset flip knowing jao) fire trail affect is impressive lmao
look into wings of dawn for a less scammy dragon game, fellow dragon lovers :)
how do you know wings of dawn isnt a scam? they haven't released anything yet, which means its a scam until it isnt. Dod isnt a scam because its actually releasing updates
@@Cross3x7Once every 6 to 8 months per update 😂 Also Wings of Dawn haven't released anything yet because it's still in the testing phase. They're not going to throw out any slop and sell it as full price like DoD did! 😂
@@Cross3x7 Sure, a project made with 80% assets from the unreal store, that rip-off his creature designs from the HTTYD franchise and for which every playable creature is paid DLC while still being an early access ISN'T a Scam. Of course not, why would it be ?
Don't forget your daily dose of copium, or else you might start to notice how ugly-looking it is as well xD
The game has some huge potential, but the toxicity of the clans, and to a lesser extent the fact that the only populated servers are clan servers, is what will ultimately kill the game. They actively ruin the new player experience, and drive new people away from the game.
Regardless of my own thoughts and opinions on the state of the game's community and it's lackluster developer speed, I thoroughly enjoyed the video, Owl! Watching you fend off that clan was *chef's kiss* perfect.
As a IR (Inferno Ravager) you can burn out the spit of a Biolumin (That shit that painted you by the end of the vid) using your Q, also that same Q will make it so that biting you its a bad idea too or even flying close enough to you if im not wrong.
IR Q also protects against stun and reduces incoming element damage
it also burns off acid spitter's acid! very useful
we miss you on gateway 😢
If you don't mind tips, OwL, the IR's Inferno ability burns away the acid/decay from ASDs and reduces damage from Plasma Shots and Lightning Attacks iirc, maybe just plasma. Either way, your storytelling is amazing as always, and I love watching your PvP content as always. Maybe one day you can get an elder of your own to fight with, there's guides out about the crystals and how to use them. Look forward to your next one, and good to see you back!
Love the semi-immersive gameplay as always!
Man, I love your stories. I feel bad I can't give $ for support but I can like and comment!
don't feel bad man, people just watching my videos is more than enough to make me happy
@@OwLTimeu do a awesome job with telling the story and presenting it u deserve much more than we can give 💚
Ah yes the dragon game I've heard nothing but bad things about.
do you believe everything you hear? then hear this, dod is a fun game, go play it
My dude! Your story telling is awesome. Love your content! Keep it up.
Just in time for my lunch break, let’s go 🔥
Love all the stories you tell brother! regardless of game, keep it up!
I've always wanted to try this game, but sadly I've heard soooo many horror stories about new players trying to get into it.
dont waste your money you will only end up buttering your toast with regret.
Your vids is so well done and your voice so comforting ❤❤❤
Yeah these clans most likely roleplay and roleplay fights which is probably why they go crazy on solos. Though it doesn't look very fun for solo players that just want to pvp.
0:13 peak VA
I won't say I'm not entertained as you can make any game extremely engaging to watch, but I am sad to see this game getting attention. Most of the dragon designs are stolen, I feel it to be a cash grab, and feel it was marketed deceptively.
false
@@Cross3x7 Please elaborate on why you think it's false?
@@Eclipsedvixenthey can’t, they’ve been fighting tooth and nail in the comments with 0 valid arguments lmfao
@@Veronr.7180 Lmao I did notice that now. Yikes!
Your videos are really entertaining even tho I don't play any of them myself. The story telling is really compelling! Found your channel yesterday and this is the 4th video since then! Great work!
I straight up kill clan members on sight for that exact reason.
EVEN IF THAT MEMBER youre helping is chill, one of their clan members comes along and just kills you anyway.
and i've played this game for too long for it just just be a every so often thing. naw, that is consistent and habitual among ALL clans at any point in this game.
I feel like the game needs to implement an actual ecosystem full of AI's cuz the map just feels empty. suuuuure theres a bunch of terrain and different elevations and its a giant ahh map, but... theres nothing going on. its empty af. its supposed to be populated with other players, but when you get like 10-40 players on a map THIS scale... its a barren waste land.
I'm so glad you were having fun on the game! I hope to catch you ingame sometimes!
Ay nice to see you back on Day of Dragons, The solo experience can be really harsh but I'm glad to see you stuck it out and actually enjoyed the game despite that :) I mostly duo this game with a buddy and its still super difficult to kill anyone due to all the clans.
I stopped playing when my pc couldn't handle this game anymore after a few updates, now im getting an upgrade from my old gaming laptop to a pc and I will definitely revisit this game. Great video man.
I'll give you a like and a comment since I do find your storytelling really nice.
But Day of Dragons? As much as (probably all of us) yearn for a modern dragon game, DoD will never be it...
I would rather try to get I of the Dragon to run on my current computer instead of paying for and installing DoD.
It still amazes me that every single dragon game that comes out is remembered for ages, but there's so few of them ever made that you'd think no one ever played them...
Hopefully we'll get an actual decent dragon game sometime in the future.
Been waiting for you to post man i get so bored and you are my favorite RUclipsr and can you pleaseee post more the isle videos they are too good
Really did think this was POT lol but this will be better i mean this the owl we are talking about
such a good vid! no matter what game you play the content and story are amazing!
This game could have been so good! Instead, it's easily overshadowed BY MODS on path of titans...
Fantastic stories as always Owl!
You can make a engaging masterful story out of any game, I always feel so attached to your journeys. Thank you for sharing and making these amazing videos! Please remember to take care of yourself too & treat yourself as you would to a best friend! ♡
And that's the SMOKE clan in Frozen Throne for you.
Nobody cares about an online clan of people with nothing better to do?
Great vid! Glad to see you covering Day of Dragons. A little flaming tip, your flame won't do damage unless your cursor is on the target as you flame. Also, if the cursor is black, there's no line of sight, and it also won't do damage.
Did everyone forget the drama with this game? Where the devs banned 2 content creators because they made a constructive criticism talking about how to make the game better..?
I think your confused, the 2 content creators who got banned were banned because they hacked the game code
@@Cross3x7 No they didn't. They were banned in the Files, by the devs. Whenever their steam ID tried to open the game, it'd freeze and crash. I recommend looking up "Dirty Devs: Days Of Dragons"
@@Cross3x7 Wrong.
@@Cross3x7 DoD hard coded certain Steam ID numberS into their game, so when an individual wIth a certain number loaded the game, it would instantly crash. Which is ILLEGAL.
Always love to see an Owltime video. Keep up the great work!
23:07 that why the call you the goat THE GOATTTTTTT
I missed so many of your videos while i was on vacation, but im glad i get to see them again, cheers
Every survival game has toxic clans in them who see no issue in using ‘Russian’ tactics to win. At least those in day of dragons only have themselves to blame for destroying the player base for their beloved game.
Awesome vid!
This dude is just such a cool youtuber. Bro deserves +1 million subs
Such wholesome content
Always love your content brother!
The joy I felt when I saw this uploaded, I had just watched some of your other day of dragon content last week that came out years ago...and here we are back at it again :D
This is cool! Nice change up!
Well done Owl keep up the good work bro & thanks!

@@Cross3x7 look in to this game , they had a kick starter that got a insane amount of money , used most of it on hell knows what, rarely have any good updates , most of the very few dragons are dlc (that is insane seeing as how much this game has made ) im begging you look in to the history of this game day of dragons is a KNOWN scam i have the game i regret ever getting it
I have been waiting so long for you to do a day of dragons vid, loved it cant wait for the next
yes something to watch while the hurricane passes
Stay safe 🙏🏾
doesnt the hurricane last hours?
@PowerpixelYT yea all day it sucks
Come such a long way man i remember when you had like 60 or 40k thos were the days man but now here we are damn near 200k lets keep going
Aaand that clan attack is exactly the reason why I refuse to support this game. Unless the devs somehow fix the clan issue they will not have new players and the game will die
20:25 one of the best fights I've seen in a survival game.
Hey OT! Great video as always! I am a dragon lover, from the very beginning days of Dungeons and Dragons. I enjoy watching your video of this game, but it really is the same old story. Beautiful game ruined by allowing clans to run the server. I cannot even think of how they could stop it either... too bad...
there are clanless pvp servers, play on those if you don't want to join a clan
I really appreciate the effort you put into your videos, keep it up!
Sorry Owl, I know you had fun, but even watching you struggling to find anything was painful . All that kickstarter money and they can't fill up the map a little bit more?
Idk.... too many red flags with this game for me, personally, and the constant clan wars just reeks of toxicity.
Banger video! So great to see another Dragon video, even with the game's clan issues!
thank you author 🙌
The fact that Owl knows what HTTYD is makes me so happy
My guy, you are such a LEGEND!!!!!!! Keep it up OwLTime!
Man, great video/story. Was so happy to see you bloody the nose of that clan. Also very funny that you sent an Elder fleeing before that.. (it broadcasted with a very deep voice.)
As for the game.. mixed feelings for me. I love dragons. The game is very cinematic and the flight physics are amazing. Sound and models amazing. But the clan-centred design is terrible. They do have some no-clan server but as you said the player base is small.
I think the biggest issue is that the world is ultimately very empty. AI isn't very varied or fun to hunt AI. Only slightly dangerous. So PvE is stale if you're not into PVP. If you are into PVP baby stage is pretty long and boring. I think they got a lot more work to do to fill in the game and people are tired of waiting for the mega map and everything else promised.
Fyi, I think using the fire cloak ability will shed acid and prevent it in the first place.
Guys cummon🎉i have never seen a RUclipsr be this spot on with his videos every video is a Banger!!!,so he deserves more Likes man so that more people can see this greatness
Let's see what HTTYD dragon they take next

Owl once again proving his amazing survival skills!
I got DoD a year ago after seeing lots of content on it, especially yours, I have fallen in love with the acid spitter and am trying my best to survive as a solo, (I have yet to get a kill on an adult dragon). Thanks for the awesome videos! Was watching my subscription feed for the DoD update one
I’d say the AS is the best to survive servers with clans
Love this channel man. Not a huge fan of watching others play games because it's mainly screaming and immature antics. But you do something different. You make a story out of it, you make it engaging, worth our time to watch. I appreciate it.
So wait... its a game where the few remaining players group together to destroy everyone else.
That sounds like a good mentality for making other people enjoy the same game that depends on other players having fun to function.
Going 5v1 looks like so much fun!
Why not... you know... make a clan, split into different groups and spread out the population of a server instead of noob-killing lol
Because they don’t care about longevity, other players, or the state of the game. They care about the dopamine hit they get when they gang up to pile-drive new or solo peeps on the server into not wanting to even touch pvp servers or hear about the clan system. Clans may not be inherently bad, but seeing people slaughter for sport gets so dang old so quickly.
Owltime. Short time ago I found your channel after buying path of titans. Love the content keep it up bro. I also am a huge fan of tylerkoalas, found shortly after you. I've watched both of yours Herrera vids, and I would love to see you collaboration a 2 man squad. I posed the question in his love stream and he said he'd love to as well. I swore an oath to try and get this off the ground. It'll do numbers.
This game has an abundance of issues but the two biggest for me are clans on pvp servers and the fact that early game is boring and hatchlings have no defense or means of escaping other players due to the fact hatchlings cant fly are slower and less agile than their juvi and adult counterparts. Here is hoping The Wings Of Dawn does dragon survival better and of course as always its a great day when I see a new vid for Owl
wings of dawn isnt going to be a survival game, its humans vs dragons
@@Cross3x7 "The Wings of Dawn is an open world survival game either survive as a dragon or thrive as a human." I pulled this from their steam page...
very nice vid as always! you kinda seemed to love that flamethrow ability a bit too much, during many fights in the air and where enemies where in some distance it seemed like such a wasted ability
