After playing it more, I’m not liking the hatch change either. I’m finding the novice tower to be too hard compared to what we had before. Novice and grandmaster are basically the same difficulty, they require you to spend most of the board completing element goals, and then have major luck with golden hybrids and a rare epic. 20k and 28k are the same for me. I either get under 10k or 40k+ when doing a level.
I played Eggy some more and I have an update too. I agree I think the goals should be changed a little for the novice. Either make the egg goal lower or the points lower for the novice levels. I have the same problem as you and bricetwice. I get the right number of eggs with the right element, but it’s not enough points. They need to put more epics on the novice levels or lower the egg goal or the points goal. It seems like lowering the goals would be easier and better.
I think the novice is easier than the grandmaster tho, but I don’t think the last level should be harder with a slightly higher amount of 50 iceberries. The last level is basically a grandmaster level with less iceberries. It needs to be changed to a novice.
There weren’t a lot of novice levels before most of the levels were easy or hard so I think DECA had to guess the difficulty of the tower much more than the others and they made it a little too hard. If they could lower the goals on this tower that would help a lot. And add epic eggs and twin power ups, and more same eggs that merge for a bonus on the novice and grandmaster.
Ok, I’m wierd.... I like the new eggy hatchy. I think it’s better organized. It’s a little harder, but I think that’s more because it requires a different strategy. I found Beginner easier than Novice (I told you I was wierd). But I was able to complete both of those columns.. I was beating my head against the wall on the Grand Master level 1. So I skipped that one and tried the level 2 of GM and was able to do that one. I should have done that earlier. If you find one that’s a stinker to complete, skip it and come back to it if you have time later.
I’m not “farming” but I’ve been able to breed a number of the new dragons. My frustration has been with rift breeding. Evidently my koalas don’t like the rift.
In all, I think Deca has done a great job of quickly finding a balance in the game. And the new dragons are awesome.
Update: I ended up completing all of Eggy Hatchy except that level 1 Grand Master. I just couldn’t get the right combination on that one.

Yea they could make the Novice tower easier and level 5 shouldn’t be harder than the other levels. Some of my parks got lucky and didn’t have any problem getting Beginning and Novice done but other parks are having a problem with Novice. It’s not impossible it’s just taking longer and they might not finish the tower. You’re right there weren’t that many Novice levels before so they did have to guess on how hard to make them.
We always had the really difficult levels of Grandmaster so it’s not surprising but this would be a good time for DECA to fix these levels and give more Epics or same eggs to merge. I REALLY like merging the same egg it helps a huge amount! I know they won’t make Grandmaster easy but maybe a little boost would make players feel like they’re not wasting all their tickets on one level.
They took away ‘Farming’ and now this. They’ve pushed me to to edge of simply ‘packing it in’. I did it with 2 golf games I had played for years. HASBRO almost did it to me. And now DECA... Little by little, they continue to require real $$$ to succeed in this game. I quit contributing after HASBRO made it bad. When DECA took over, I started spending in appreciation for some of the things I thought improved. This latest modification greatly reduces the ability of collecting of IceBerries (Event $). I’m not gonna play their game, both literally and figuratively. If you combine this ‘money grab’ with the Crashes & Bugs which continue to occur whenever anything new is implemented, it is easy to see one’s disgust. If things don’t change, for the better, and soon, I’m gone.
You can still farm plant dragons they didn’t take it away. On double days it’s 6 iceberries to breed, incubate and hatch. You said you only need 1000 iceberries so it shouldn’t take long to get it.
Every game has bugs especially after new things are implemented. I haven’t played a game that doesn’t but I know it can be annoying. DECA has been pretty good at fixing them sometimes it takes a little while. BFS told me years ago the game will crash because my park is big and my phone didn’t have enough RAM. That isn’t new and we know now that it can’t be fixed.
I think DECA is trying out new things to help players not to make them angry. The only way they’re going to know if a change to Eggy Hatchy works is to do it and see what we say. It’s GOOD they want to know what we think. If they never worked on Eggy Hatchy then people would complain that they’re not making changes they wanted. Just because they don’t get it perfect that doesn’t mean it’s a money grab. I hope you don’t quit DV. I’ve been upset with a game before and felt it’s not worth being angry over and quit, so I understand how you feel. But I really have the impression that DECA is trying to help us and the game not trying to make us upset.

I guess I am weird too. I like the change up in eggy. As far as I can see, nothing actually changed except the organization. I finally skipped the first level of grandmaster and came back to it after I had finally gotten all the other levels.
I had level 5 of the second tower and level 1 of grandmaster left as the last levels to do. Those levels to me just require luck, not breeding knowledge. I eventually got lucky in those levels and completed everything.
I appreciate DECA trying “new” things. Except test notifications.
Thank you everyone for your Eggy feedback! I have passed it on.

Right on schedule; here i am to ask the mods & experienced valers, how many more new dragons do you think we can expect to see in this event? Please tell me we are done 🤔 Thanks in advance! 😃

Somehow, I couldn’t write a comment on singleimage ’s reply but here goes: You’re right, DECA didn’t take away Farming, they cut the value in half, making it less desirable to do so.
The Bugs: The Golf games I played for many years rarely had a bug but when they did, they were quickly fixed. DV has bugs every time they touch something and they linger on, unfixed, for days, even weeks before they are corrected. I worked 41 years in the real business, financial and legal world, providing software for every application you can think of. Believe me, the type of bugs that we constantly see in DV would not be acceptable to any real world customers. In the real IT world, applications and updates/changes are tested every way possible and not put into production until they have undergone a thorough QC process. This is obviously not happening with DV and hasn’t for quite some time. We pay real $$$, just like a bank or manufacturing company would pay for an application; we should expect way fewer bugs.
Crashes: are caused by poor memory management. As you play DV, the actual program code performs subroutines, which use additional memory. When the subroutine is completed properly, that memory is returned to the system for use by the next subroutine. If a subroutine is not properly exited (due to careless coding) that memory is not returned to the system. Gradually, as you do things, subroutines are performed and not properly exited, memory usage grows until there is none left. Then, when you try to do something, there is no memory left to do it so the app crashes. Yes, without regard to those of us with older devices, they installed The Rift, which is, a giant subroutine. Most often, the crashes occur after returning to your main Park after having visited and doing things in the Rift. DECA didn’t write the improper code but they should at least try to correct it.
I know DECA isn’t trying to upset me. And I know that a lot of problems were there when DECA took over DV. The object of the game is to BREED dragons. The harder they make it to breed or acquire Dragons, the more real $$$ you must spend to get them. Before HASBRO took DV over I didn’t especially think it was a money grab but since then it has and continues to require more of our real $$$.

OK Here's my input. Sign me up as a player who does not like the changes to Eggy Hatchy. I also emailed DECA.
Can you explain why you don’t like it? Only saying you don’t like something doesn’t offer an opportunity to fix it. Constructive criticism is helpful, but if you just don’t like Eggy in general then I completely understand, and not much can really be done.
There aren't any changes, in a way. The levels are just stacked differently... *
So I liked the personal touch to tower names better in the prior version. There isn't more to it. /// Premise * I disagree that egg hatchy actually became harder. Someone may not. (Since yes, it feels harder, but I'm not spending more tickets!)
This is the toughest effort for Blue🔥 Thanks to the great breeders in this forum, especially to Valey9144!😘
🎉 woohoo!! 👏🏻👏🏻Congrats on this monumental achievement!! 🔷 🔥 👏🏻👏🏻

When I was new to dragonvale and didn't have use for gems, I spend far from a fortune on spins and got the twilight tower & weather station on day 2?3? of the event.
Like, if you're one of those players who don't need gems in order to make enough dragoncash for islands, it's so easy to get a huge bonus at the first double/triple day

I'll soon have enough DC to buy all islands except 4 in a extravaganza, and the last is probably worth using a wish on. Almost can't imagine having space again

This is my official whine for Angler. I have spent so many gems trying to breed/clone him with no success yet. 😩
Maybe my lone koala finally tired himself out after four event dragons. I might have to perk him up with an extra helping of eucalyptus and an energy drink so we can get one last dragon before the event is over. 🐨🍷🌿
