My stepdaughter still doesn't had a ruby after trying with both caves all month Can I have some collective koala sent her way please? She's well and truly hacked off now and I'm positive the power of the forum can make miracles happen! Hopefully the racetrack will perk her up enough to restore her motivation to continue but I know with all of her bad luck with the gem dragons she's started to get very fed up.
That is really discouraging. That kind of bad luck can really be a killjoy. The only thing that would keep me going would be my stubbornness, can't let a silly computer beat me
I have won gems only once after the 3 for the practice race. Clearly gems are a LOW % of wins!
I have raced a LOT (Lol) & also have only won a gem 1 time. Definitely mostly food prizes. Even if the wheel stops briefly on a gem or xp, it will move a little more to food & then stop completely.
Has has anyone so far been able to win gems? I swear I have tried so many times and now I only become first, but these gems they ain't want to be mine!
Have picked up 1 gem win from a race. Must have a pretty low percentage.

Has she tried eating yogurt? That seems to have worked for some here! We're all sending koala wishes her way. Don't give up! Maybe BFS will open the gates a little wider the next few days...

Sending all my luck her way! I've found when I've come here to complain about not getting something, I get it. Hopefully you complaining for her will work the same way.
I sure wouldn't mind a Gold either. So many tries...so many fails.
It takes a lot of training to win the Gold. Maybe increase your reps, and don't forget to breathe. Also sending a large dollop of koala!
Yes, alas, I've allowed myself to get out of shape over the past few weeks. Time to get my nose back to the grindstone and work harder. I will try to remember to breathe. Thanks for the luck. I'm sure I'll need it.
I had the same problem trying to find a gold among golds, I like the Evergreen cos it's easy to spot on the track! Racing a baby is fun cos then you get other babies. BTW, sorry for Olympics comment, I really don't like them (we're bombarded with it ATM in the UK) but didn't mean to offend anyone. OTOH if it means free wifi for some Dv players then YAY OLYMPICS

Lol, you are entitled to your opinion, and to express it. I remember we hosted the Goodwill Games years ago and it clogged the whole area at times. No where near the impact of an Olympics but we did get a taste of it.
OK, so here is the question for the experts on devices. I am playing DV on an ipod Touch 32. Since the update I have had problems with the freezing and crashes. I did a complete power down and then restarted and it stopped the continual freezing and crashing. Now however, it has started again. But, it is only crashing, no freezing! AND only when I try to race. So it is something with the racing update.
Now, it can't be the internet connection as was suggested since I only play on wifi. My hubby has an ipad that he plays on and has not experienced the problem.
Here is the question - Since my ipod is an older generation could it be that the "older" devices can not handle the update? Due to code, or whatever? Just a thought!
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. One Ruby, one Gold and a lot of gems spent. Sigh.
I feel your pain, at least you have a Gold. I am still digging for one of those! Have found a lot of Brass and other metals in my digging, but not any Gold!!
Mine wasn't my connection as I was using WiFi and had a download speed of 25mb and an upload speed of 7mb, both typical for me. However, late last night I was able to get through a few races without the freeze, but then it started to freeze again so I called it a night.
I haven't tried yet today, will in a little while. Hopefully whatever the issue is will be resolved, otherwise I'll just be patient with it. I am getting the reward, so at least I don't have that problem.
I see you are on an ipad, how old is it? I was freezing a lot and crashing a little then it got continual. So I powered off and then powered back up. It seemed to fix it for a little while. Yesterday evening it started again. However, this time it is only crashing, no freezing.
I play on an Ipod Touch, I think it is 4th Gen and so it is an older device. My hubby plays on an ipad and has not had any trouble.
We think it could be the older devices are having trouble keeping up with the game since it has now gotten so big!!
Just our opinion!

Okay I'm totally addicted, I was playing last night and after two hours Scott finally took my iPad away from me and wouldn't give it back!! But I had played probably 15 races - and kept making back my money so I kept going. But had a good gold streak going until he ended all my fun!

HA HA I think he just wants to play or you are having too much fun! I would tell him to get his own iPad if he wanted to play and quit ending your fun!! LOL

Very low. I have won 2 gems twice and 1 gem once.
That's way better than I've managed and I've raced quite a bit. I have gotten 1 gem once and never gotten 2 gems. My son, the lucky brat, managed to get 2 gems this morning. You would have thought he won a million dollars, the way he was hollering and celebrating.
I got a gold while trying for a ruby with Chrome /scorch.
I just tried my first race on the electric track with a current cuz my sonic is hibernating and I came in second, spun and got 2250 food which to me is a looser. $50,000 to get $ 40,060 worth of food. I am not really a gambler. Is there a chance to win big?
On a happier note I have 4 more cold dragons to get to 15 and I will have all gold shrines.
