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?

I've tried to keep up with this thread so sorry if this has been mentioned. Has anyone noticed how much less space the game takes up since the update? Before the update DV consumed 1.2GB of space on my phone, now it is only 180MB. That's a huge difference. I'll take that trade off for whatever breeding and earnings changes they had to make any day.

It takes up less space, but suddenly my game is constantly crashing again. It has been lagging and crashing occasionally since the update. Now, suddenly, it won't stop crashing. It seriously has now crashed about 10 times in a row. I don't get why it is suddenly having trouble. It was fine earlier. I force closed the app once. After the first crash I closed all other apps. Is anyone else having lots of trouble?

Yes. It's driving me slightly nuts, might see if mom needs any errands run in town just to keep me from sitting here getting aggravated over a dragon breeding game. You know you're addicted when...

^Sooooo much!
Idk y. A minute into gameplay, the tab icons (cash collecting sign, treat farm collect signs, and gem dragon collect signs) suddenly stop dissapearing when I click them. So I know the connection is down. And anything I do after that doesn't matter. Cuz it crashes a minute later, saying it had a connection time out. And when it reopens, it brings my progress back to when the connection dropped, or a minute earlier. I did the same stuff like 5 times in a row and my progress kept being reset.

Did it just start happening recently for you guys? I know it was a little laggy before, but did the constant crashes just start happening? I am trying to decide whether to reinstall.

Never mind, I think I know the answer. People at DV Community forum posting it is suddenly happening to bunches of them. So, I guess I will go read a book for now and try again later.

Yeah, I first noticed it an hour ago when I got back from my weekly recycling drop off run. Not cool, my baby park has a Ghost Dragon ready to hatch, and now I'm completely locked out of my park. So now I'm running to the grocery store to eat up another hour and hope it's magically fixed when I return.

Good news is, the problem is only tied to collecting DC. Don't click those treasure chests and you are fine. Bad news is, you're losing a lot of money. I can grow treats, plant bushes, feed dragons, sell eggs, clear obstacles, etc... It is really hard not to collect those chests though. *sigh*

I did manage to get to level 48. A new habitat. So it looks like every other level we get a new one, b/c I got one at 46 but not at 47. Maybe I should build a large rainbow habitat. If this problem persists, I am going to want a large earning habitat.

Okay, there is an alternative to letting all that money go to waste. It is really annoying, but at least you don't lose all your money. It appears that only habitats that give you magic are bugged. So collect more slowly. As soon as you collect from a habitat that results in magic, exit out and force close the app. When you come back in, your magic will still be there. I have tried it three times, and it has worked all three.

Its been crashing constantly for me too. I have iPad 3 with plenty of free space, so tablet performance shouldn't be an issue. Also, I noticed, since last update, game slows down to a crawl, driving me nuts. I tried getting more magic by planting bushes, gave up after 20 or so, selling them is very painful.

However - great news! Just got my Opal clock in EBI (just to clear the goal), now back to Bronze, still don't have any. And - I am definitely reaching my first dark goal tonight! "What is thy bidding my master" "You don't scare me with your sorcerous ways, Lord Vedar". Sorry, I gave into the dark side :)


EDIT: Tonight seems particularly bad, there may an issue with google docs. I cast some magic, waited for game to pause for update, closed it down completely, restart - Connection Error and status hasn't changed

I would guess that our little game has had more 'collecting' traffic than anticipated (like another new system in the news). Slowing down on collecting helped for a while, but I'm going to take a break now :)

Theory:
Is it POSSIBLE that this was an already existing problem, and having 15 or so plant habitats that rapidly have the collection icon... that exacerbates an already existing crash issue?
Does anyone who experienced crashes NOT have a ton of small plant habitats for farming magic?
I'm currently moving all my plant dragons to the hibernation cave to see if this changes issues. Probably not... but it's worth a shot

That shouldn't be it considering that I have had those small plant habitats since the update came out, and today was the first time I had trouble. And it wasn't just today. It was only for several hours today that they were crashing. The problem does seem to be fixed now. My guess is that that is why the timer reset about 10 minutes early. Someone went in to fix the problem and reset the timer at the same time. I may be crazy, but it makes sense to me.

I can second that it is a recent problem. I don't have a multitude of plant habitats and its happening to me as well.

My workaround: I collect very slowly and when I notice a chest not disappearing, I just stop doing anything. I will let it sit until the icons in the foreground reset - drop down out of the screen and return. Then I can continue as normal.

On a side note, the game crashing for me had some GOOD consequences. It wasn't counting my habitats as empty but it was giving me the magic for them. I got to collect the magics as their peak values 3 times. Only after I found the workaround did I realize it had given me too much magic.

All my habitats are giant, or large for the epics. And I was getting the crashing, but it's stopped now.

There is no crashing for me (on my ipod touch) now.

Also yesterday I finally got all my dragons thrice :D (adult, baby, pedestal)
