Another potential issue I have spent over 500 gems trying for enchanted south and no luck a friend in a facebook group spent over 1000 with no luck so while the description says so the enchanted hasn't yet been bred!

 I didn't read the description you mentioned where is it?  I went into the dragonarium to find out the breeding elements for the South Dragon and it said "You cannot breed this dragon".  So I just assumed we would have to buy everything.  Is there somewhere else that shows the breeding elements? 

You're looking at the entry for the regular South. The entry for Enchanted South (only visible if you have South) says that it can be bred using the regular South. That appears to be simply untrue.

[buttbear]

So if i'm right there is no possible way of breeding a enchanted south, north, west and east dragon?
Is there even a reason why you would breed with these four dragons, cause i don't really think there will be. Maybe later on the game i hope.

It might help breeding acient dragons cause they are listed as one, but the acient dragons we already have, have specific breeding tips.

[mistymiss]

Maybe ppl should write to the support about the enchanted south dragon?

I have not had the chance to try myself, and still fighting to get the enchanted bountiful, so maybe ppl are just unlucky like me?

They should have stuck to their word and not have the habitat count towards the limit. A new player may not be able to purchase a hibernation cave nor find any use for one. This event doesn't even seem like an event. I'm starting to get bored with DVW bc one has to wait long periods between doing things.

I agree that it gets boring with the waiting time.
In my timezone, the cap resets 6 o'clock in the evening. When I go to bed about 6 hours later, the cap is reached...

Ahhh. Thank you for clearing that up!  Glad to know about the enchanted version so I won't waste time and gems trying to breed for them.

Things I don't like about dragonvale world.
The absurd bank limit.
The habitat limit.
Item storage limit
The inability to grow large volume food quickly.
No obvious place for future expansion.
The individual food feeding event which is impossible without prepping an entire month for or more
The "sales" that are individually sent based on one level above what you bought last time. Slimy.
The fact you had to sell a habitat to get an advertised habitat that wouldnt count towards your limit. That only has a 100K limit
The stupidly low treat habitat limit.


I HATE limits if you can't tell. Don't force me to play a game in only a certain way.

Is this supposed to be a 6 month game and then have everyone quit?

Rant over. What I like

I love the trading aspect and the rainbow variants. Improved interfaces. Most Indy events. Free gem dragonsai. And dragons- obviously

I agree with you on both the dislikes and likes.

WARNING RANT AHEAD!
To add to my dissatisfaction with the personalized sales which I had previously wrote an email request for more options so I could still have the cheaper sales pop up.  I haven't seen one below $40 since they took all my mega dragons and gave me 10,000 gems. It seems like these personalized sales look at what's in your park and assume you will spend exorbitant amounts on gems.  
To add oil to the fire of my frustration over this issue.  Yesterday a sale popped up in my park offering 24,000 Magical essence for $104 !?!  As I was helping my daughter with her park a sale popped up offering 700 Magical essence for $1.39!!!!! I would have bought multiples of that sale for my park.  So I sent off another email to Backflip asking why we all couldn't get offers like that.  Hopefully they will respond.  I don't usually send off emails but I did at least tell them first about the things we enjoy and thank them for their hard work.  Hopefully that balances out the email.


Thanks for letting me vent.

Koala to all  (love that term even though I don't totally get what it means other than luck I think)!

It's hard for newbies! Leveling dragons up takes a long time!!! I don't think they took into consideration that some people just started playing the game. I also got the airship event which is killing me. Dragons I need for journeys are on the ship and I can't possibly afford all of the elements the ship requires. There should be more activities and for all levels.

I Agree wholeheartedly!  My daughters are both playing with lower level parks and the adventures keep asking for dragons they don't have.  we all know how long it can take to get a specific dragon.  It's so hard for them to fill the airship as well that they are quickly loosing interest in the event because of frustration over trying to earn essence.

[ChemNerdTwin]

A long long time ago the admins set autocorrect for certain terms. "G ood luck" is Koala. "Fig urines" is Garden Gnome™. There are others I can't remember.

Yes, and you can't successfully breed them unless you have the epic breeding island and tons of gems to speed up fails. I've wasted soooo many gems just to get a dragon the ship asks for or speed up gathering and food to level dragons up. I just had to let a ship go because I didn't have a dragon or enough of the items. Now it just gave me a ship asking for 37 lava and 4 yellow spiral things I've never seen before. I can't find lava in the store and I'm not able to gather that much.

Does anyone have lava and yellow spirals to trade?

Wow, somehow I never put that together, but I'm certain you're correct. My main account always gets low discounts on the ridiculous $100+ packs, and my second one gets 80% off the $5 options.

I hope falsely being tagged as a cash cow doesn't have any other adverse effects... I know less scrupulous companies make their games more difficult for you if they detect that you're dropping a lot of dough.

Oh I Hope not!!!  I am NOT going to spend those ridiculous amounts of cash.  If they make the game too difficult it will be very discouraging.  I am now wondering if that's why it is so hard to breed enchanted dragons.

I think it's simpler. Game tags that you bought $ 20 so it only advertisizes the next one up. I then bought the 50 so now I only see 100. I suppose after you pass on x number of 100 offers 50 will be offered again but it's really irritating. No one has posted that they can breed enchanted yet. The habitat that is falsely advertised really has pissed me off. I bought two and now have to sell it back for only 15000 D.C. Not the magic I spent because an ancient is much better with the 1m cap.

That wouldn't make sense for my situation. I haven't spent a single cent on DVW.

[skeeter622]

I haven't seen a single sale except the day I started.

My situation does not fit your scenario either chemnerd99. 

Here's how it happened for me.
1. Every week I would get the same 700 gems on sale pop up Wednesday before the weekend event. It never went up even though I did buy them occasionally. Different from Chemnerd99's experience.

2. Then they took back the Mega's and artifacts, dropping a total of 15,000 gems and cash (don't know how much) into my coffers.

3. Then I noticed the weekly sales went up to larger gems groupings on sale for less of a discount.

4.  I waited for a while and got frustrated that the cheaper ones never came back.  My family has children with compound health issues so we are often shut ins.  since my husband and I don't have any other vices we justify spending small budgeted amounts on our gaming addictions. 

5. Sent off an email to Backflip regarding this issue, suggesting the option of giving choices in the sale and the response was:
"The different Gem offers will appear randomly at different times, so you should have the option to purchase some of the less expensive ones at some point as well". Which doesn't fit with my previous experience of the same weekly 700 Gems sale.

6. Exploration event starts and I notice the huge discrepancy between my sale offerings and my daughters. To which I sent off another polite request for a change since I am one of those who does spend a little but will NOT spend at all if this doesn't change. Our gaming budget will not go up, that's for certain.

I really think that like Mr. Bones said the personalization of sales is based on the program tagging our parks as cash cows. I think it's because of the large Gem bank. Mind you they must think Mr. Bones is pure Platinum based on his Gem bank. I still remember his post update Gem amount

I just found something interesting and possibly related in the debug menu. To open it, tap and hold on the left side of the screen, then tap 2 fingers on the right side.

If you scroll down, you'll find something called "Player Tier".



My main park that has a sale on the €110 magic pack is tier 5. My other parks with sales on the smallest pack are tier 0. Coincidence? What "tier" are you guys?

also tier 5

[dp ⭐️🌟✨]

Tier 4! I do not get the cheaper deals, lol.

edited to add:

My baby park is a tier 2.  I have bought gems in my main park several times, but only a couple times in my baby park, and usually the smallest pack.

Very interesting.  I checked all our parks.
My park is Level 50 - tier 5

1st Daughter: main park: level 17 - tier 1. Second park: level 11 - tier 0 (as I checked she got the 700 Gems for $1.39 sale 80%off)

2nd Daughter: main park: level 30 - tier 4. Second park: level 15 - tier 1
