I've been looking all over, and I can't find a complete explanation of the changes in friend requests. Is it true that you cannot use game center the way we used to? I don't want to use facebook, darn it!
Resistance is futile. Join Facebook - the ultimate gaming network that prohibits gaming profiles and adding people you don't know.
But I can see why app developers love it so much. FB integration is fast and easy and only breaks ever other week. And the API is fun because it's regularly updated with new and exciting quirks, and only occasionally makes you wish for the sweet embrace of death.

Unfortunately, using Facebook is now the only way to add DV friends. Game Center is no longer an option since the iOs 10 update. Apple pretty much changed the game plan for us. As I understand it, BFS has no plans to add another way to add friends, at this time.

And, have I understood this ( v non techy brain, me) my friends list works atm because I have not upgraded to ios10, and they Mashable!!! May have/not also, and that is going to HAVE to happen at some time, for all the other reasons not to do with this fab game; so is it inevitable that if I want to keep playing, at some time I will have to use FB ? unless, BFS do add an in-game connector ? This feels decidedly sucky, and me without even a Nosferatu!!!

I just sent a query to BFS and flat asked them whether they were working on a friend request solution that doesn't require Facebook. I'll let you know what I get for a response.
Have had no missing friend issues on my main park at all, until tonight when they all disappeared, only the FB ones remain. Went to Gamecenter to logout and back in but nothing happens when. The button is tapped in Settings. Any thoughts? Sent a note to BFS and hope they come up with a solution by morning.
If I have one garden dragon, purchased with candies, and want to breed a second one, is the only way to co-op breed two garden dragons? Or can I breed my garden with an epic or a normal dragon?
I've lost a lot of friends and don't have facebook. None of my friends share the new dragons. Is the only way for me to get two dragons of each type to buy both with candies, or wait for BEB?
What do you think the chances are that any of the other dragons will become breedable before the end (ie. Lycan, Omen, Spectre, trick Ortreat) Am I just being a little optimistic that will become available to breed?

The only way is to breed with another Garden in the coop. So yes, you'll either have to wait for a friend to put one up, buy another, or wait for BEB.
But remember it's still pretty early in the event and a lot of players hoard their treats and only purchase at the end, so as we get closer to the end of the event, some of your friends might end up putting one up. So I'd be patient and wait on buying to make sure you've got enough candies. BEB is right around the corner too.

It's possible. In the past, before the Eternal Event, they would gradually make more and more spooky dragons breedable, leading up to Halloween.

Thank you Gypsy and magpac. After so many Moss fails I was beginning to think that cloning a Garden Dragon was not possible, but hearing of your success gives me hope. LOL.
I'm on the same boat. But we'll succeed in the end, trust me. At least I was able to clone a second Lycan and the Pedestal, both were missing the past year.
One question: What happened to the spread-sheet? There wasn't one available for the last event also, I think? I used to create one on my own (based on the one from here of course ) for all events of this year, so I did not realize when the shared one disappeared. I don't want to impose myself upon you, but if you wish, maybe I can share my version for the benefit of all...?

Several issues i need help with please ) 1. In my search for dragons breedable in breeding cave & island : if i pair up 2 of the now-expired dragons lagoon, trench, quicksand, bubble & conch, is it possible that those 2 (the ones i paired) will be among the possible outcomes?.... or do i have to have 2 of the same dragon to get another of the same? (I only have 1 each of the above)
2. Am very disappointed in my attempts at banking ...now that the card game is gone (sob, sigh) i can only bank my last 'identify the dragon' (i am terrible at the pinball game) ...am i correct that those 2 are our only options for banking (to which we add our last mausoleum) ?
3. And in regard to that....I have been given only 50 points on my last mausoleum (the one i am using for banking) several times now...have made sure i am using the highest level dragons possible (20) and that all required elements are covered, and i still receive only 50 points ....in previous event (olympic) i ALWAYS got the highest points possible when i was careful with those 2 requirements ...do u think BF has changed the results of the mausoleum to be random now & not dependent on highest level & including required elements? Has any one else noticed this/had this problem too or is it just me? Thanks for any insights you can give me )

1. These dragons are not limited, they are permanent. You can always breed them with any breeding combination matching their elements. In fact, I keep getting them as fails now all the time.
2. No, you can bank all candies given by your friends by not collecting gems and food before you hit the daily limit. Candy will stay in your social menu.
3. Just bad luck I think. I choose dragons the same way you do and got 100 (200 on Double Days) every time. Haven't used the arena very much because it's still as easy to max out as it was during Summer Faire. Think that's why I never had less then the whole amount of candy until now, but it will happen over the time that I win less, even if I have chosen all the right elements at Level 20. I'm sure.

Hard reset, as ChemNerdTwin suggests. Mine was doing that frequently for a while, not so much lately (knock on wood)!

liza, you can always blue heart your Garden after you put whatever other breed you do in your coop. If any of your friends see it, they may be more likely to get one to breed with you. Just remember to re-blue-heart after you re-breed in the coop.

Touché , hard reset works every time. I use to have to do it daily. Yesterday was the first time in days that my friends went MIA. Hard reset brought them back:)
Other games have developed ways of adding friends. It seems BFS is behind. I assume or hope they are working on something because they had us name our park (I used the same name as my user name to make it easy). I actually forgot how to add pple via FB. I only have about 3 friends from there. If pple need friends, I'm happy to go the FB route. I don't use FB anymore for social purposes.
Still waiting for whatever surprise BFS has up their sleeves....koala to everyone.

Re #3: I don't think higher level matters, just matching elements, but I, too have gotten seemingly inconsistent results. Since this type of contest appears to be a regular feature, maybe I need to study it more, make some notes. We've always been good at figuring out requirements together here and this is the only one I can recall that seems so random!

I think you should try to use one of your dragons that has the most number of the required elements. For example, when there's 4 elements, like fire earth metal and light, using your Nether and someone else's ember/glass/etc would be better than using your glass and their mirror. Just my opinion though
I hard reset my iPad when then happens and everything comes back.
Thanks Che nerd, you are right they are back this morning after turning off the iPad for the night. Still am perplexed as to why I can't access GC from my settings, why settings freezes up when tapping the button. Can access on my phone, but not the iPad. Strange.

Thanks womantrarae, you are right, they did come back. Sorry you were dealing with this so often, but happy it has slowed down for you. Followed BS's instructions on both phone and iPad and still don't have all my FB friends back on the phone, even though some of them have returned on the iPad. Not consistent at all. Hope they figure this stuff out soon.
