I was out watching Infinity War, so I missed the reset today. Today's new Rifted releases: Arbor's back again, and appropriately, Shield. Which is new to the Rift, now breedable thanks to traiting in the Dream comeback. Combo is HAIL + HYDRA if you've forgotten. 😉
No Misfortune again today, and I'd like to promote this to an official Whine. Are any of our sommeliers available currently?

Humbly (but with great nose) at your beck and call m'lotv Today we are featuring a somewhat sharp blue/black vintage from the Avenger Vinyards, with Woody after notes... Would m'lord care to taste? Or perhaps a jeroboam immediately? Without a goblet? Certainly m'lord 👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣

Zekky , I don't know how close to smoke you are in the Vale, but the way I've soothed my discontent re the floodgates and turnstiles of the Rift, is to remind myself I'm running out of dragons and only have a few pedestals left to breed in the Vale, and then fill in twins... So it's nice to have SOMETHING to aim at in breeding... Gah! It's the best I can do 😏
Yeah, good perspective to keep, though I would prefer being closer to the "bored" side of the spectrum than the "I am a squid attempting to fly through the use of a thousand buzzing mosquitoes hitched to a sky chariot" side of the spectrum. For so long while playing this game, I wasn't at all interested in the pedestals and absolutely shunned the twins, selling any of them immediately. So, when I got close to having the one version of all of the dragons, I started up with the pedestals, but still turned away the twins at the door because of their unfashionable neon blue head bulbs (sort of like certain shops in Paris refusing entry to people wearing crocs). Then, along came the Rift, and when they gave us our prizes of certain dragons during the events, as everyone here knows, if you didn't have the prerequisite of regular dragon and twin, you couldn't get the rifted one, which at least has more of an interesting look than a twin, in my opinion, and so that prompted me to stop selling twins if I got them...So, I'm way behind on the twin collection, but honestly I don't really care about completing it; it's just a necessary evil to try and get certain ones so the elusive rift versions are more attainable if they're given as prizes. In the Vale, I'm missing two dragons: the one I've complained vocally about, Rosebud; and also Misfortune, so far (trying in all dens, but I'm not expecting anything).
On another note, I really wish the Etherium cap in the habitats was higher, as I typically end up signing in only once per day. I have 42 upgraded rift habitats, and with my next one costing 70 000 Etherium, I'm anticipating it to take a relative eternity to obtain and upgrade the 55 we're currently allocated. Something to look forward to when playing this game with the grandchildren. If I ever have grandchildren. Or, I suppose, children. Children usually come first.
OMG they ruined Bloom. I liked her a lot better when her whole body was traited, I also want the old one back. 😥 Bone, Winter and Bloom were my favourite Rift dragons. Now Bloom is basically just white and nothing special, looks just like any other Rift dragon.
They better not ruin Bone and Winter also 👿
if it’s any consolation, the newly traited Berry has the rift traits all over its bouncy body. I wonder if it will change rift appearance from baby to juvenile to adult (I only saw a friend post a photo of the adult version).
I missed all the Dream rift dragons except Daydream and Nightmare. I did get three Misfortune versions (regular, rift and pedestal) so I'm trying not to be too upset about it. I tried for Portent for four or five days...not even a Dream came out of the combo. I would love some time to catch up on non limited ones, but I bet another collection will be released today. 🙄
I only got daydream and dream, of course the permanent ones, but I had tried for FIVE days straight to get Portent, without even getting a non rift version from the locked combo. I missed out on Nightmare, muse, elysium, and delirium trying for a Portent that I never got. Now I’m afraid I’ll miss rift versions of apocalypse and misfortune, which IS quite unfortunate. My only glimmer of hope are the rift mystery eggs, because I got a rift Winter dragon yesterday from them (which I had missed out on before). I feel like, despite my plea for mercy to BFS when we had last spoke, they are not following our request for rift epics in incremental stages, but instead giving us 3-6 days to breed 10 epics, of different categories and varying difficulty, especially with locked combos. 😔 I guess, eventually, the epic mystery eggs will yield a rift version for any epic once we get them all rifted, but I had really hope I’d be able to breed the majority of them.

May have to forget about misfortune in the rift 😔 ...tried again today multiple times with no luck so switched back to inkstone skies & tried for some autumns ... Got gourd rift w/pepper (fire) + root (light..had no other options) ...think alignment today is lightning Also got teozinte w/paper (light) + lagoon (plant) inkstone skies & lightning alignment Thrilled & hope these combos may prove lucky for someone else... Koalas to all 😃👍🏻🍀🐨

I guess there’s always BEB....
I got a Dream and a splash screen that told me I would have better luck with higher level dragons. Does that work in the Rift too? Just asking because I have been using Level 20s in my regular park and not getting anything there either. That splash screen kind of adds insult to injury.
Breeding attempts at Rift Misfortune: 182 Cost of attempts: Over 500,000 Etherium Cost if I'd bought the E with IAPs: £450 Rift Habitats I'd have if I'd spent it on them instead: 52 Misfortune living up to its name: Priceless

LOL! Very, very true! POTM!

If anyone is curious, in the US that would be $620US dollars which would equal around 25,000 gems. That would buy a lot of dragons. Odds in the rift need to be improved and/or etherium limits on habitats need to be bumped up. It is funny and sad that I also counted up my days of fails (8 so far) without success last night and also compared how much etherium I wasted and how much it would have cost me if purchased and was absolutely dissapointed with this game. I missed the majority of sun/moon, dream and I still haven't bred ANY of the 4 new Autumn rift dragons. Not fun!
I see I am late to the party... Came to say this game is supposed to be fun, and usually is but spending every breed every day trying for one dragon (Misfortune Rifted) and failing miserably right up to it's last day is Not Fun. Plus missing out on even trying for the other limiteds that have come and gone while trying for this unfortunate Misfortune... I have no words... Even sacrificing piles and piles of treats to make Apocalypse(rift) and Silver(rift) max level 20 didn't affect the outcome. How can this be right? You can't even give up and buy the rifted version. 😱😤😡 Very Sad.

it’s supposed to, but I wasted a ton of treats getting my Daydream up to lvl 20, and my Mirage to lvl 15, and despite those 5 days in a row of breeding, I never got rift (or any) Portent from the combo. I know lower lvl parks are supposed to have better odds breeding rare dragons, but I always thought higher lvl dragons also increased the odds of getting rare dragons too, because that’s how it works outside of the Rift. But in the age of getting Zaffer and Viridian from alternate combos, the Rift keeps me guessing. Perhaps even the Rift itself needs to join the Utterly Rifted Club!

It is your choice how far you will go to breed a particular dragon. To get up to 500,000 Etherium, I am sensing that you went way farther than the 2000 E level. And yes, as you attempt more times, the price escalates. But breeding more times in the real park can rapidly eat through gems as well You can choose to work with your resources, or to force the issue. It costs more to force the issue.
Think of it this way. Backflip gave you 600+ dollars worth of Etherium in your rift for free over the last 8 days, all you had to do was collect it. How generous!
Really though, I've had to have a different mindset when dealing with the rift. Outside the rift, I've collected every dragon upon release, never missed one in all these years. I can't do that in the rift, think of it more like trying to build your twin collection from scratch. Grab what you can, and spend a year or two trying to fill it all in. If they release 10 rift versions of dragons for a week, be happy if you get 2 or 3. You always have mystery eggs, once everything is upgraded, and BeB events.
