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?

Until its done.

It depends on how much people play/how much magic they contribute. It seems this is resource-capped instead of time-capped.

Yeah I know, but "until it is done" can be anything. It could be even so that they didn't set a cap and they just say it is, and release it in a time-cap way anyway. We have got no info at all :P They could at least show the progress bar somewhere... It could be that we still have months left, or a few days.

And I built an earth habitat but the "terra firma" gold didn't complete
Hilarious - the goal clears when you buy and finish fire habitat!!!
So, I built a small fire habitat... It only took five minutes to build instead of 3 hours. And I have now completed my build an earth habitat reward. It seems that there are a few glitches. If you look in the bottom right corner of the picture below, you can see that it was indeed a fire habitat.

While the Q&A doesn't specifically say it, I think that this chaotic breeding is only temporary. When the event ends and the magic goes away, so will the chaos. It's kind of hinted at, just not specifically mentioned.

@essiw, I read on one of the other forums that once one of the elements is filled with 30billion magic, it's the winner. How long that will take no one knows, but I agree with you, a progress bar would be nice. : )

They also say in the Q&A that, "As players cast Magic for either side, the Tines of the Scar will change in appearance depending on the amount of magic contributed to Light or dark by all players." I'm starting to think that the visual indicator simply doesn't have enough registered yet to be apparent - kind of like how the XP bar for high-level players can look empty for a while even as you earn points because you don't have enough for a pixel's worth of green yet.

I notice that they might have finally clarified (or made effective) the impact of higher-level dragons on breeding. Previously they said 15+ dragons improved your chances of breeding "rare" dragons - the question then became, what is rare? Especially since testing didn't necessarily bear out any improvements for gem dragons, and weren't even some epics questionable?

Now the announcement in News says, "Dragons level 11 and above have increased chances of breeding rare, epic, and gemstone dragons." I think rare now corresponds to dragons whose market cards have curtains on them - at the moment, only Pepper, Forest, Ghost, Bone, and the opposites have curtains.

Hopefully since they were obviously in there tweaking the breeding rules, they did something noticeable with the rates for leveled dragons as well.

There seems to be a progress bar :) check the magic thread.

One gets the impression that they wanted to rebalance the game to make it easier for new players. The lowering of the shrine bar is huge, and the fact that level 11 dragons improve breeding odds also tilts in their favor. I think it's notable that the now unobtainable Panlongs got nerfed in a big way (earning rates cut in half), but Cottons are mostly unchanged and now earn more than Panlongs (265 vs 239, level 17 double-boosted, with Cottons having the possibility of being quadruple-boosted on top of that).

Rebalancing any well-established game is inevitably going tick off a lot of people, usually the ones who have been playing the longest. Still, since this is not a competitive game, I have to wonder why they would make changes that would so significantly harm established players with no particular benefit to new ones. I mean, my whole boost structure is centered on my Panlongs and resulted in some decent money for me - and I only have 7 of them. I can't imagine what the people with whole islands full are feeling.

I'd run some numbers and see if it's worth restructuring around Cottons for me, but since we don't know if they can be bred at all now (at least during this event), even that potential justification - keeping things interesting by shaking them up periodically - is basically shot. :-/

2 Iron got me a Bronze. The dragons were on two separate islands. One island had a Bronze on it.

So, maybe someone can help me out, here... I decided to try purchasing one of the upgrades to see how it worked. The App Store required I input my security stuff, probably because I haven't made any purchases since the IOS update. When I got back into DV, it said my purchase had failed, and I would not be charged. Okay, so, try again, right? The game immediately crashed. I then got a receipt for a $2.10 purchase, and every time I try to load the game it crashes at the end of the loading screen.

I had another game that wouldn't load for a while, and just waited until it got another update, after which it worked just fine, but if this is limited content... Help?

try restarting your device, by pressing on the button on the top of your device, slide to shut down and start it again.

Yep, tried that. (And again, for good measure.) No luck.

try synchronising with iTunes, if that doesn't work try to reinstall the app with the steps here (under: If this does not solve your problem) https://support.backflipstudios.com/entries/21545975-Technical-DragonVale-FAQ-for-Apple-iOS-Devices

Be sure to click "save" when it asks for you if you want to save your gamecenter data. Because your progress is saved on your gamecenter data, if you delete that you will delete your whole progress.

I am currently in a state where even that didn't help, luckily I got an iPod touch which still works. If even that doesn't work (like with me) try contacting them direcly by email, I am currently waiting for an answer.
