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?

Last night I noticed that, even though I am now Level 46, my reward for Party Hats has decreased - from 20,200 at L45 to 21-something. Also, sometimes even the third Hat produced NO Magic.

Has anyone else seen 'aberrations'?
Ummm, I'm not sure how the amount you're collecting has decreased when $21,something is more than $20,200? ;)

Also, you only get magic from one party hat per person you're visiting. You have to collect all 3 hats because magic is not always under the 1st one. It could be the 2nd or 3rd hat even.

Oh, duh! I mentally dyslexic-ed the numbers!
But I am sure about the Party Hats, I go slowly and count 'em in each park to be sure of all three.

Is there any reason to have two of a limited dragon beyond if you like how they look now? If I bred two paper dragons now, for example, is it ever possible to get another paper since they are no longer available?
Yes, according to the Sandbox.
I've been breeding Celtic and Leap Year since the new rules. Got a Celtic first try, then a Moon and a Boly. Just switched To Leap Year and Celtic2 and got second Leap Year!

Something else new, I think, is the chance to level up dragons with gems. 60 gems to go from L15 to L16. Is that a good deal, compared to the amount of treats needed to do the same?

Look at time time it would take you to accrue 60 gems vs the time it would take you to accrue the food required for that puny level bump. For myself, I would say the gem route is terrible.

I have often wondered why the put abSurd prices on things if you use real money? Looking at the magic purchase, for example, it would cost an absurd amount to bump up one of the new rift habitats a level or two. Why not maje it a reasonable price so it is something the average person would consider? I might buy a levelup for a habitat if it cost me say 20 to 30 kronor. As it stands now, you would either have to have a lot of disposable income for foolish things or just be a bit nuts to try to buy up levels with purchases. Maybe I am wrong, but I would think more people would buy things if prices were reasonable.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but you can now buy the Air Dragon for 750 000 DC instead of gems.

Of course it's a product, but it's a free one.
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.' :P (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.
How exactly am I paying by them sharing what ever data they have on me? How is that costing me anything? I guess you could argue that someone else is paying for me to play this game but that's not the same thing at all.

I would suggest that people that hate racists are indeed bigots. "I hate people that hate." sounds like a contradiction, but not if the person hates themselves, which is perfectly plausible and quite frankly not uncommon amongst any group of bigots. The instances of people with homosexual feelings overtly acting out against the homosexual community is very well documented.

But this is not a simile to what is being said here. It's more like,
Person A: "I believe in free speech so I'm going to say what I think about this company and it's latest alterations."
Person B: "I also believe in free speech so I'm going to say what I think is wrong with your comments."
Person A: "You can't disagree with my opinion! That's infringing on my rights to Free speech!"

None of which is really what is going on here, I don't believe. Syl took offence at my use of the word "whinging" which I only used because it sounds so much better than "complaining". I don't really see a difference between the two, but it is possible that "whinging" has more negative connotations, and if it was that specific word choice I apologise. It has two syllables instead of 3 and has a nice soft sound at the end of it so I used it in my post before displaying a funny pic suggesting that everyone should relax.

The size of the rule code that is downloaded is about half what it was due to removing the individual earn rates. New players don't need big earners to grow food to level up dragons. What do old players need with all the cash?




Actually, I can distinctly remember even as a low level DV player times when I do specific breedings just to make the most money. When going to bed at night, for one. To earn money for farms, habitats, islands, etc.
The post you quoted was about the new earning rates of the dragons, not the change in breeding rules. I was pointing out that there are no longer any long term goals (like feeding 50 dragons up to Level 15) that are necessary to play the game.

Yes this was already changed when 2.0 came out, there seems to be a bug though, if you sell it in the nursery you will get 500.000 and from the habitat 375.000

Fletch, I think you're right about the connotations of words. I always liked "whinging" because it reminds me of the complaining sound of a rusty old gate or a wheezy oldster, but I believe your use of it was interpreted as "whining" by some readers, which we usually associate with spoiled children. ;)

New breeding rule question: My approach to playing this game has always been that I would have one of each regular dragon and two of each limited and two of each Epic. With the new rules is there any advantage to keeping two of each regular (non-limited) Epic?

Yes, you still have a chance to get the same dragon, it just isn't 100% This counts for epics and non-epics. So for epics like DR and Platinum it sure is handy.

But my understanding is that now if I breed two DRs together I have the same 0.5% chance of getting a DR as I do if I breed any other combination of regular dragons that total four elements so is there an advantage of breeding two DRs? Just making sure I understand the new breeding rules properly.

According to backflip:

Quote:
 
Please note that breeding hybrid dragons can still result in a clone of the parent dragons. The breeding cave and island now take into account all of the parent's elemental types and it is no longer a 100% clone guarantee.


So that seems to me that it gives a bigger % than 0,5
