As of today, all the open suggestions, upgrades, and feature requests that are on this thread have been officially submitted to the Deca DragonVale Team. I consolidated everything into (several) documents. It took quite a bit of time to complete, so it will likely be a while before I submit another document, or rather add to the original. Every couple months or several times a year, if time permits and when there’s a sufficient number of requests, I’ll consolidate the suggestions again.
Many of the requests on this thread have been repeatedly voiced in other DV communities, so this confirms that players are experiencing the same issues, desire the same improvements, and have similar solutions.
Thank you everybody for your outstanding and imaginative ideas! I don’t know if they’ll make it into the game, but it’s truly marvellous and inspiring to see so many players thinking about DragonVale. ❤️

Dear DECA, I’m wondering if you could please add the same information on the dragons we have not yet bred, to the Dragonarium, as you provide for those dragons we have bred. Not asking for breeding hints, just basic info. It is really difficult to have to keep logging out of the game and going to other sites to try to find what classification a missing dragon is, what the incubation time is, etc. Thanks!

Hello,
I have made a suggestion document on re-organizing the Dragonairum as it is currently a hot mess that has not been adjusted since it was made. I feel DECA at some point should organize it in the ways they see fit, but the current organization is messy and almost random. This is my interpertation with a few ideas as well, but I hope it can properly fit into DECA's theme of organization for at least an inspiration to clean the dragonarium mess they didn't create up! Thank you DECA even if you never see this, and if you do and do re-organize the dragonarium any way better than it is currently, I say THANK YOU to all players who struggled with that!

^ Good stuff. I must just gloss over Ovalith group, because it is absolutely redundant.
DECA have definitely been improving the Dragonarium during the last couple of years. They have made strides moving dragons out of the catch all Celebration category (down to 64 from, I think, 3 figures), but some more can definitely be done.

Many players have requested that the Dragonarium be reorganised. Deca have moved some dragons out of the Celebration category and made some new ones. I really like the idea of the House dragons having their own category.
As well as a twinned/untwinned sort feature, I would love to have a rift/non-rift sort ability. 😊

The request to sort the Dragonarium for twins and traited dragons has been submitted to Deca through this thread. theresa, LynnMarie, and harwood suggested the feature. Hopefully, Deca will consider the idea. 😊

GumbaBunny, is this Dragonarium document different from the one you messaged me earlier this year?

Dear DECA: Thank you for the new fog decoration! Love it and have added several to my park. Can we have more like this? Maybe a sparkly one and one that looks like a pond?
I also appreciate the infernal and the oozing pits. They are not easy to decorate with, but the similarity to Dr Who’s crack in the wall is brilliant!
Dear DECA, my Dragonvale park has changed so much since the May update. My park had to be in black and white, all moving decorations and island themes stored away, and only one dragon in a habitat to cut down on crashes. My hibernation cave was maxed out and FULL. I would buy decorations and island themes, and immediately put them in storage. Now my park is in full color. My islands all have beautiful themes. I have moved so many dragons from hibernation, and I don’t need to worry about quickly moving another back to hibernation. But it is lacking in organized decorations. Retrieving multiple items, especially items at the end of the alphabet is so tedious. Many have suggested an update to the storage tower organization. I would like to suggest a retrieve from storage button. If there is an item in storage, right next the purchase button, should be a “retrieve from storage”. Just like buy another, and alongside if need be. This is not going to solve all the difficulties of the storage tower, but will make it easier for storing and retrieving multiple items.
Here’s a thought. Can we get more crystalline habitats? The gemstone habitats are basically unlimited, we can buy as many as we want with gems but there are only four crystalline and cannot buy any others. Or better yet, do like an omnitat for gem dragons, or a crystalline island similar to the gemstone island with expansion capabilities. Could we also get some new gem giving dragons? I don’t remember when we had a new gem dragon come to the vale.
Dear DECA - I'm trying to breed 2 of every dragon, but currently I can only buy 4 x Crystalline Habitats, which means I can only house 16 dragons. Please could you increase the limit from 4, allow an upgrade or even have a Reward Habitat, so I could house all 24 (assuming I do get 2 each of the 12 dragons).

I’d like to second this request. I currently have 3 dragons with no home to go to. All dragons need a good home!
Please, please, please consider increasing the Crystalline Habitats to six, which would accommodate two of each.
woffy2k, DVMike, and RED, regarding your request to increase the number of Crystalline habitats, or increase the number of dragons that can reside in the Crystalline habitats, Deca responded.
Each Crystalline habitat is unique so this would require more art. Also, those habitats generate gems so doing a rebalance around that would probably not be worked out easily. Lastly, we haven’t released any new Crystalline or Gemstone dragons. As of now all those dragons can all fit in what’s provided. If we decide to release more Gemstone or Crystalline we’ll recheck the need for this.

I think players would be OK with being allowed a duplicate of an existing habitat - no more artwork required. 😜
I understand the gem balancing, but it would be nice to display two of each dragon.
Unfortunately, at this time it doesn’t look like Deca is planning to increase the Crystalline habitats. If they add more Crystalline dragons, they will revisit the idea.

Dear DECA, recently in your AMA on the DragonVale subreddit you mentioned that you don't yet have any clear plans for balancing Ts'aishen. After this, I did some calculations based on the total price of unlocking and fully upgrading Ts'aishen, and with the current layout of Ts'aishen (without using his power) it will take eight years to fully upgrade it, or seventeen and a half alongside using his power every four days (as most people use it when they use Kairos).
Please, please, PLEASE reconsider balancing Ts'aishen. I love DragonVale and it is the only mobile game I've played that has mostly avoided the pay-to-play craze. I absolutely appreciate that you need to make money, and that the point of DragonVale is patience, but over seventeen years to complete one thing is just crazy. I completed Gaia in under a year and am halfway to completing Kairos after a year. There's a very big difference between the feeling of satisfaction when you've been working towards something for a little while and the frustration of "Well, I'm glad THAT'S finally over" with something that takes a silly amount of time like seventeen and a half years, or even eight years. Ts'aishen hasn't even been available for that long.
Please add an option to use his power for free, either every four days or whenever a player wants, without the bonus. I'm fairly sure you also mentioned in the AMA (or at some point before) that you don't have this option due to wanting people to play the game longer. As I stated in the comment where I did these calculations, at no point when I'm wasting time collecting from my habitats am I thinking "I'm spending more time playing the game, I should spend money on it". Collecting from habitats is tedious for me, and I don't have even half of the islands or Rift habitats. There will be players with more islands and/or Rift habitats who will have to waste 10/15+ minutes every daily reset, just to collect from habitats. They are not going to be thinking "I enjoy wasting time on this tedious task, I'm going to spend money on this game".

Thank you for reading.
The Ts’aishen calculations, indicating that it’ll take 6-9 years to reach max level, were also done right after its release in 2018. It was determined that it was better to use Ts’aishen and receive the DC bonus, than to not use it and spend all your Abundant Essence to level up.
I agree, Ts’aishen should be adjusted, but unfortunately, Deca hasn’t targeted it as a priority. I hope one day this Legendary dragon will receive the update it deserves.

Hello all! I'd like to share the Wizards' Idea Collective, a document and form to help collect the community's ideas in one place. This was only made for fun and I have no plans to get this forwarded to DECA, however, I may do monthly summaries and if representatives would like to forward any good suggestions to the DECA team, they are welcome to. Any and all ideas are welcome, just remember to be respectful.
A quick word about the new and marvellous Wizards' Idea Collective!
While players can make wild and imaginative suggestions on Worms’ document, if there are any ideas or concepts that are repeatedly requested or are possible recommendations that could be implemented in the game, and are not in this thread (haven’t been forwarded to Deca), Worms or I will post them. Those suggestions will then be submitted to Deca Games when there’s a sufficient number of requests.
Thank you so much for doing this, Worms ! It is greatly appreciated by all!
Edit: If anyone has any recommendations or ideas for DragonVale, you can always post them directly on this thread and they will be passed on to Deca. Worm’s form and document is to help reach other players who are not on the Forum.

Would it be okay for me to add multiple ideas at a time? I have a loooot of ideas, and I think it would be good if I could put them in one place, but as I say there's a lot and I don't know if there's a better place for them.
Or would it make the most sense to post them on this thread instead? I'm not sure which is better.

it's okay to add as many as you'd like.🙂 Even if you fill out the form multiple times, but if you wish to post them here, I can also add them to the doc, up to you.

My ideas are quite disorganised at the moment so when I get the chance I'll organise them.
I think what I'll do is post all of them on the WIC (if you're sure that's okay with you, there are a lot, I've already posted two on the WIC already but there are definitely more to come) and then the ones I particularly want here. So that all of them have been added somewhere, but the main ones are on this thread.
