After Steam sale and pawns rental issue, not so many people still playing here on GOG. And looking at progress, only a few people participate in battle against Online Ur Dragon. On Steam there is a separate subforum for him, where tracked
Ur Dragon generations and grace period. Maybe it makes sense to have a topic with this information here?
I imagine part of the reason only 1.3% have beaten the Ur-Dragon (and presumably the Messiah achievement refers to either version of it) is that it's late-game content and the game hasn't been out on GOG for all that long. Only 14.9% have played as far as an audience with the Duke.

Now that you mentioned it, all the achievements seem very low % wise. Does anyone play this game on gog? lol

They look fairly healthy compared to, say, Trails in the Sky FC (complete the prologue: uncommon, 26.8%).

Most people with DDDA seem at least to have tried playing through Galaxy (90.4% completed the prologue, 75.6% departed from Cassardis...), but yes, it's inevitably an incomplete picture.
Cheked yesterday: still 8 generation at 4 HP bars. Last kill was 25.06.17, on Steam TTL 2-4 days.
GOG achievements
The Messiah 1.4%
Conqueror 1.9%
Cheat Death 1%
Steam - 5.4%, 7.7%, 3.8% and online 600+...2k players.
I assuming, that in assatination of a thousand-man boss participate less than ten here.
Gen 8 died today, I missed it by few hours. Now it's generation 9 and it spawned insanely weak.Already 4 health bars gone (something like 1.5 of that my work).

Edit: and now two of my fights in a row didn't register on the server... anybody else has problem with that? Even with previous generation, it was happening in something like 1 out of 4 fights. Wiki mentions possible protection against hacked characters, but it shouldn't trigger on normal chars, no? I only have goldforged equipment, not even minmaxed stats, I leveled a few times with every class before settling on MA.

Gen 9 dead at 2017-07-29 10:35+02:00 (8:35 UTC)
@huan, there is a damage limit to prevent hackers from doing insane damage amounts. So it's not based on whether you actually hacked or not but how much damage you do. If it's too high, then it won't sync with the server. Apparently the limit is much higher on consoles but the GOG version seems really low. So you may have to just limit how long you spend fighting the Ur Dragon.

I realize that, you may be right - when I was fighting the tail and wing tips, all of my fights registered. Still a speculation, but educated one, and proof of another illogical decision from capcom. If they reserved some resources to implement the limit, they should have at least made sure that the limit was actually against cheaters. I was more curious how many people are affected.

Yesterday was at work all day, missed gen 8 death. Visited him for last 2 weeks like 15-20 times. All I got for that - another Ascalon.
Are Ur-Dragon boss from original DD, right? Best sword from DD - Dragon's Dogma, strength 788 dragonforged, best sword from DA - Devilsbane, strength 1848 gold rarefied. If you climb on him and hit directly in hearts with skills like Hundred/Thousand Kisses or Dire/Deadly Gouge in full BBI tier 3 set, inshine DPS. Good pawns will also make a significant contribution. I think, someone forgot tune damage cap for PC version.

I did some estimates... I'm doing ~3120 per strike with hundred kisses (10100 if he is stunned and I apply str boosts, but that is rare). I don't know the rate but if it's 2 strikes per second, during 8 minute encounter that is still only slightly less than 3M damage. If he doesn't manage to shake me off and I don't have to relocate to other heart. My pawns are useless at doing damage, I usually only find game generated ones with unenhanced equipment. Wiki estimates the limit at 28-30m. If the problem is due to limit, someone screwed the PC (or GoG) version.

It's almost like they finished the game and said "guys, we have too awesome game for customer to bear, let's put few stupid mistakes in to compensate." Online Ur damage limit. Unable to sort inventory alphabetically (so that I have to spend few minutes at Montebank reading through descriptions). Only one save file.

Well, I already got my trophy, and the equipment he drops is subpar to BBI anyway, looks like correct course of action is to ignore him.
thats very disappointing. all that work for an anticlimax. hate when that happens, gamers can be very forgiving but gut shots like this can leave a bad taste in the mouth, have fun in bbi, imo its the most fun of the game
