![]() Anyone care to speculate on this new Facebook post? What do you think is coming? When do you think it will arrive? I know many people were disappointed when the new type of seasonal dragons were released. Do you think this will be another disappointment? Do you have any other thoughts about it? |

You've put my exact feelings into words, thank you! I was never interested in the "challenge" of breeding, I wanted three of each dragon as fast as possible so I could be happy that I once again had "collected everything". This is just my personality, and when things take a long time to get (Peridot - over a year. Double Rainbow - months), I get antsy and annoyed and frustrated. As long as I could balance that out with other goals, I was happy to continue playing, but if it comes to a point where the frustration outweighs the happy, and I can easily see it happening with the new breeding rules, then at that point I will no longer play. But I'll stop "whining" about it now, don't worry, this is my last post on the subject! |

Of course it matters. Very very sorry for calling you sir. I apologise for that. And it's not that I'm happy with the changes. But they gave me this game for free. I've had 2 years enjoyment out of it and I didn't have to spend a dollar on it if I didn't want to. But to complain about changes made to a gift I've been given would be petty and rude. If I don't want to play with it anymore that's one thing. To say I've been betrayed or had my trust violated or to say that the last two years of enjoyment I've had in the game have been wiped away is overly melodramatic. |

No worries, I get that a lot! I find it funny, actually, and it doesn't bother me at all. But thank you for apologizing! As for the game, I have definitely gotten a lot of enjoyment out of it, I am continuing to do so at this point, and nothing BF has changed, or any changes they make in the future, will wipe away the fact that I've been playing this game for almost two years, and love it to pieces! That wasn't what I meant at all, and if I came across like that, I apologize. Nothing BF does can take that away. It is the future enjoyment I am iffy over, and I'm worried about that because I DO love the game, and I DON'T want to stop playing, but if frustration over breeding gets to be more than my overall enjoyment, then I wont want to play anymore, and it will become like Pocket Frogs, just sitting there on my screen. Which is sad. Poor Pocket Frogs. I go back every once in awhile, get overwhelmed with all the frogs I'm missing, then just don't go back for about 3 months. I don't want that to happen with DragonVale! Also, sometimes people just need to rant a bit and commiserate with people who agree with them over things like this before they suck it up and deal. At least, that's how I am! |

Fletch, it is a product for profit, not a gift. Just because you enjoy using a product does not make it a gift. The fact that you could play it without paying with money does not make it a charity, but rather a business model. And this is a popular business model with much profit from cash transaction to data sales. I use gmail, but I do not pretend it is a gift to me from google- that would be absurd. Same with dv. I enjoy them both, but they are not gifts and people are not ungrateful or rude if they complain about any aspect of the product. And, this is not an opinion: it is a product, not a gift. For myself, I could hardly care less about the changes. However, if people do care or want to vent, why would you want to stop them? Violation of expectation is a prime cause of customer dissatisfaction. Look it up. People may or may not have a good point, but it is a very human response. And, wow. I sure got a lot of gems for the shrines having been gold. Was that the amount it would have cost in gems if people paid for the shrines with them? Edited by Bliss, Oct 12 2013, 10:18 PM.

I dislike the change only for one thing like someone else already said. I just want to be able to keep up. In two days I can say again that I have all the dragons I want (adult, baby, pedestal), I was lucky to put DR + DR and Bronze + Platina in my breeding places to get my last pedestals. Since gemstones came out I haven't been able to say that I got all dragons, it is just a nice fuzzy feeling to have that you got all the dragons. With these breeding rule change it will only get more difficult. So I am not against the breeding rule change, I just want the game to be beatable. To suit my completionist feelings of having everything. |

I can see your point with that. I remember last year when they had multiple rare dragons and the gem dragon going in one month and how it didn't feel fun at all. I like the game to be very casual in regards to time commitment. |

Of course it's a product, but it's a free one. It's not shelling out 80 bucks to buy GTAV and then not thinking you got your money's worth. And I don't want to stop anyone having an opinion. Why don't I get the same courtesy to allow me an opinion about their opinion? 40 gems per shrine ... it's a bit hard to calculate, because buying the gold shrines was dependent on how many level 15 dragons you already had. Doesn't seem likely we would be ahead in the deal. |

Not quite. Whether you pay with money for gems or just with data collection, you pay. http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/03/05/ios-apps-leak-more-personal-data-than-do-android-apps---report The opinion about an opinion about an opinion argument is tending towards sophistry and fallacy territory. It's like those religious arguments that say, 'if you say I am a bigot for being a bigot, then you are an intolerant bigot.' (not to conflate the two things, but rather as an example of the hole)If the gems didn't add up, I hope not too many people used gems to get golden shrines and paid more than they got back. In my case (and probably most), though, it was quite a nice surprise. Overall, I am glad they did something new. The game needed it badly. Now time will say if this something new was fun or not. The breeding rules was like gizmonauts or whatever it was called, I think. Now if they can just add those timers. |

Hey on The DV Community forum someone posted that they had found a way to get DV to work on their ipad1. I thought I would share it with you. I hope it helps. Turn off Mail Push Turned off iCloud syncing & all options under iCloud syncing Turn off iCloud backup Turned off all notifications for other games |

As they say: if you're not paying for the product, you ARE the product.

Great, I will test that. Edit: On second thought, I won't; I am using those functions and I am not sure if I will lose data in the progress, also I have a lot of apps with notifications. Thanks for the advice though. Edited by essiw, Oct 13 2013, 11:33 AM.

Anyone know if there is a way to backup all an iPad's data to do a factory reset and not lose everything? I'm so technologically challenged... >_< |
