So I finished my lasr round of duties after reset. I say duties because the routine has become an obligation and no longer a fun moment. I have played this game since its very beginning and it was fun. It turned out differently since a few years, more and more events, piles and pilesof new dragons each time, harder and harder to get them and now ... unless you are willing to invest enormous amounts of real cash you can forget about the new dragons. I don't like the way this game turned and how BFS killed the fun. I have decided to terminate this journey and move on with other activities. I won't delete the game but file it in a corner where I don't see it. I would like to thank all my gems exchange partners, so many of them i had since years. This community is a great one and it gathers fine people from everywhere around the world. Thanks to Poppy who created the forum. (Missing Poppy, wondering how he is doing). Wishing all of you the very best in your lives and in the game. Thanks to all the devoted mods and gurus who help us along the way. Take care gang and Koala to all.

So sorry to read this. But I can understand it. A game should be fun not a duty. I wish you all the best my dear friend 😘 And maybe, maybe after a while without the game you'll return (like I did). Have a great time xxx

I stopped playing for about one year, then started playing again. I understand the feelings, and have thought about putting it away again, myself. I just really like seeing the different dragons and the new ones they come up with, even if i cannot get all of them

I understand the frustration of players with the game, I'm there too in many ways. My original goal was a full set of dragons, eggs, and twins. When the rift was released, it switched to adding rift, rift twins, and rift eggs too. And all the buildings and decorations.
With so many new dragons being released that are difficult to acquire and not even available right away in rift forms, I've had to change my goals. I'm now just trying to get one of each new dragon, and saving all versions for some future state when the game slows down with new content. And I'm keeping up somewhat, usually needing several dragons after an event ends and getting them about the time the next event starts.
My wife originally had similar goals, and hers changed even more. She gets what dragons she can, and that's it, and it's not a big deal to her if she misses some. She'll get them when they come back during a BeB, or from mystery eggs, or never. It takes all the stress away, if she gets a new dragon then great, if not then she'll see it in other parks.
My mom also played, but she was more like me and wanted everything. When it became too hard and frustrating, she quit. It's all perspective and how you look at the game. Under the new format, if you need everything then the game just isn't going to be fun for most of you unless you're willing to spend. If you can change your perspective and find that getting some new dragons and having a lot of open goals to work towards is ok, then you can continue to have fun with your park.
I wish they'd go back to the old days and make everything free for active players. I was willing to spend during that time, because I could see it making a difference, a few dollars would take it from 'doable' to 'easy' in getting the last dragon in an event. Now a few dollars gets you part of one of a dozen things you can't afford or get in game, and it almost feels like it's throwing your money away. I know I often call them greedy for doing this, but perhaps they were not making enough to keep the game alive. I honestly know nothing about their financials, before or after their changes.
I think I'm going to modify my goals in this event, and focus on getting costume pieces instead of dragons. I was trying to hurry cloning in the social cave and also spending on games for outfits, getting double hit for gems. I'll just spend a few hundred gems on games for costumes, and the rest of my magic currency on buying the costume chests. I'll clone the dragons over time, get lucky with a few limiteds in the rift, and/or get them from future mystery eggs. Dragons will always be available that way, I'm going to assume the costume pieces will be expensive when they return, similar to the evolution pieces from last year. Maybe I'll have enough left over to buy a dragon or two also, which I can do if I collect the costumes.

This is terribly sad. I’ve enjoyed your posts and will truly miss your contributions (Outline Only Mode is forever engraved on my mind). But I think you’ve made the right decision. Life is too short to spend your free time on anything that isn’t either relaxing, thrilling, or thoroughly enjoyable. It’s very healthy to take a break from many different things, including this game. A couple years ago, I put it down for a while. When I returned, I never regretted the DV vacation. If you ever decide to come back, it’ll likely still be here churning along and so will we. Wishing you all the very best on your smashing new endeavours!
Dear viviane , very sad to have you leave but TOTALLY get it; this ‘game’ is a chore for me this event too. Wishing you all the best; and hopefully a happy return sometime 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
mmm, was just thinking about that event several ago, where they introduced something hugely ill thought out, and after players boycotting it and making lots of posts on several sites, they changed it during the event... hopefully they’ll soon realise that this set of event rules isn’t working...🤞🤞🤞

Dearest viviane, I feel your pain and will miss your verve and cheeky humour! All the best to you in however you decide to spend your now free time. I hope it brings you the joy that this game no longer provides to many of its long time players. Hugs, Cyn

We will miss you on the forum, but I totally get where you are coming from. I have had to make some major readjustments to still enjoy the game and even still I get frustrated at times. Maybe if you take a break for awhile we can hope BFS will take to heart what players want out of the game and what they are willing to spend for and there will be a better balance. 🤞🏼

This is my official whine for Osteryx.
I managed to breed Plumpkin and add him to my Halloween island, but during the rest of BEB I have been trying for Osteryx and getting everything but Osteryx. I even got a bunch of Bone dragons, a Solar Eclipse and two Fireflight, but no Osteryx.
If the koalas would be so kind as to send me an Osteryx before BEB ends, I would be most grateful. 🐨
We share our physical lives with those in spirit. For life, like love, never dies. Love knows no limits, not even death.

I love Osteryx as a baby (one of my favorites), lots of koalas 🐨🐨🐨 getting him.
Oh heck, total recall...not, here! Please someone, what is the trick with looking at some icon somewhere which then magically tells you whether a super long breed is what you hope for that you haven’t got yet? I tried looking in the dragonarium but I don’t think that’s it...not sure where else... Thanks🌻 👣👣👣👣👣to check the ED in case it’s hotlinked 🤞 👣👣👣👣nope 😟

Invite friends In Social, change icon, choose baby or adult dragon icon, then scroll down to the dragon you hope it is, jump for joy, or slump over, then exit out.
