We need something big again. I can honestly say that the Dragon Races were a huge leap for DV itself taking its gameplay to a new dimension, but after it became overdone with the Perch of Kairos, it has been neglected since. BFS needs something like this again: possibly a new mini-game, line of dragons, or even elements to switch things around a bit. Now I really appreciate their loyalty with releasing new dragons weekly, but for the long run, they may need something more.
Oh well, who knows. They can change anything. Or maybe we are projecting one of our wants onto another feature they are developing. It does seem like BFS has a problem injecting bugs via Android that makes them look really loose.
Does anyone else have a goal of hatch a turquoise in their goal list? It just showed up in mine, but I dont show the egg in my list. Im a bit confused...
My dad does. He also has some other interesting ones. I'm guessing you play on an android device, because he uses that. His goals also include hatching panlong, gold, moon, and too many others to mention. Many of those goals have gems as part of the reward. The big news is that he also has a goal for placing an item in the storage tower. FYI there is no storage tower available anywhere in his market. Apparently, as with the shrines, android devices are getting the update first, and BFS has again listened to their customers and is giving us something we've asked for. Are you seeing those goals as well?
Yes I am android, and I do have goals withs gems as part of the reward. Lots of new goals ...thats why I am so confused, I dont see things in the market to correlate with the reward.
Happy Hatching to you ! I'm a Facebook user on an android....
I don't play Dragonvale like that at all. I have a Panlong island. Other than that I don't care about tailoring my islands to generate DC. I like to have as many different dragons displayed as possible. Newer ones replace older ones as they are released if no room is available. I like to keep my islands neat and organized as well. All my limited decorations that are cluttered everywhere because we have no place to store them *ahem* is the only thing that's getting old in my opinion.
I like a certain amount of min/maxing, myself. I had a Panlong island, instrumental in my shrine grind. With the grind all done, I'm phasing out my Panlongs. I've been keeping all my Moon and Sun fails so that I can easily fill a super sun or moon habitat. I'm not much for decorating, precisely because I have seasonal decorations everywhere. I'll occasionally breed rusts for cash, or I'll breed Blue Moon or something like that.
I do miss the days where the list of goals was longer than my list of accomplishments.
To stay engaged with DV, I put all the babies away and built the highest producing island that I could with the dragons I had on hand. For two reasons: to have the ability to increase levels for breeding; and to add some more crowns. It's amusing for now. I sense that there are some big changes afoot and hopefully I can build another Nursery Island.

Well I have been lurking the past month or so and figured it was about time I posted. I have been playing this game on 3 ipads since it came out and I think I'm finally done playing. I just figured out the more gems you spend to help rush things along the worse your odds are. On each iPad I got the first Celtic dragon pretty quickly and on the one iPad I don't use as much I got the second one right away. The other 2 iPads I use a lot and rushed along the breeding cycles to get the second egg due to the time constraints and now have 2 sun/moon dragons sitting in my breeding caves and 1 waiting to be hatched. This after over 30 or os failed attempts using all dragons level 15 or higher. If I don't get the second Celtic dragon before it disappears on each ipad I will no longer be playing this game as its a farce that they expect you to breed them without giving you the proper odds of getting them.
I have also been trying to get my second gold Olympic dragon on 2 of 3 iPads with at least a 1000 fails and I was close to calling it quits because of that, but now,seeing the fudge they pulled with the Celtic dragon I can finally see the writing on the wall.
Is there any point in having two AM's, they can't be bred can they ? So just get one and a display one ?
It never hurts to have more than one People like to collect them to either have an Aquamarine adult and baby for display, have an adult and an egg for display, or to just fill up their island for gem income.

Welcome. Sorry you found just as you are giving up.
For what it's worth, there is no correlation between how much you spend and the luck you have in dragon breeding. It's just random.

Thanks for stopping by and saying hey. Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry you are feeling so much frustration with the game. Unfortunately the percentage for success is very low on the rare dragons and like what Fletch says its all random. However I have had some success with using gems for speed ups, but not always.
It is a proven fact whining helps. Quite a few forum members agree with this method and post often their rants. Another member likes the yogurt method. Lol. I hope you find your enjoyment in the game again.

Got my second Celtic with a Level 15 Storm and a Level 15 Poison in the island. I think the next step will be breeding the two Celtics together to get my egg before St. Patrick's day and be done with it. Very relieved to have gotten it in the shortened time frame. Only took about 7 tries total, apparently not a decreased payout rate.
My plan is proceeding as stated without a hitch. Popped the Celtic egg from breeding Celtic+Celtic into the hatchery this morning. Now I'm breeding Clover+Clover to complete my St. Patty's day collection by obtaining the Clover egg. I'm happy to have a complete holiday set on the holiday.
Happy St. Patrick's day everyone! May the luck o' the Irish be with you today!
Eggs (Dragons) to Collect: Vortex (1), Barite, Pyrite, Quartz, Celerulean, Nebula, Rayleian, Teidian (1) Twin Eggs (Dragons) to Collect: Many

Yay! Just got my first Celtic with this combo of Storm+Poison both at level 15. Hoping the second one will come just as easily.
Phew, just got my second one. Spent about 150 gems.
They'll probably end up extending it now :/
