It has been a while since I have said anything just holding my tongue but: This event can’t be over soon enough. Have lost gems and currency because of ads that don’t work, the gem tree and counter for the extra gems don’t match such as now tree shows have two to give and counter says one, when game crashes and I reboot it opens one frame back so if I just took anything out with gems I have lost them and have to redo using more gems. Have been in constant contact with DECA. Now today the gem tree and counter is messed up in my second park, so now they are wrong in both parks. Yes they have been told the problem were in dragonglow and given park name. To friends in both parks sorry if you haven’t gotten extra gems often but as you can see I have no control of this. Also ask about one dragon being easy to breed and making another so hard to breed with long fails that players lose interest. Why not go middle of road which hardness of breeding. The way I understand the game it was breed dragons and have fun not breed dragons and be stressed.🤷♀️
🐨🍀🐨🍀🐨🍀 To all who are still trying to breed Chuck, Apex and any other dragons not cooperating.🍀🐨🍀🐨🍀🍀
dragonglow in reference to your gem tree and gem gifting - are you trying to gift more than 21 gems from one device? I fell into that trap and thought the game was short-changing me as the dragonsai tree was still showing gems to gift but they weren't showing in the social menu. I only use one device but play two parks - at reset, before gifting any gems, both parks show that they have 12ea to gift, but in practice there is only a total of 21 gems that I can gift, so I end up with the dragonsai tree still with gems showing. Every day I have three gems that I would love to be able to gift to my friends who have been so generous with sending gifts to me.
Will have to check didn’t see anything about only 21 but I do not read the forum as I once did. If that is the case why is DECA giving us 24?

Deca did not increase the gifting limit to 24 gems. They only increased the amount of gems we can send to friends by 5. So if you were originally able to send 7 gems, you can now send 12 gems daily.
They were not aware Backflip had put a device limit on gems. A device can only gift 21 gems per day. The reason why this is in place is to prevent people from creating 50+ parks and gifting their main park 50+ gems a day.
If you have two parks on your device, you will not be able to gift 12 gems from both parks, because that would be 24 gems. You’ll only be able to gift the device limit of 21 gems.
Even if you can only gift 21 gems from two parks, that’s still 7 more gems than you were able to gift before the event started. So you’re still coming out ahead.
Here’s the last post about the device limit and gems. There’s links in it to previous posts discussing the issue.

A new problem ad: Covet Fashion Model Makeover No way to exit, it takes you to the AppStore, the redirect to Dragonvale restarts the game.
On iPad 6th gen.
Most times I don’t report the missing gems and event tokens, thinking it’s my poor internet connection or my too small iPad. But I’m tired of constantly losing sponsors’ gems or colluseum bonus. Especially after completing a 60 second ad. Now with the game restarting you have no second chance.
Okay, new problematic ad. I cannot close out of it- the "x" appears but just takes me to the app store. It was for a Covet app. On the old iPhone SE model.
I’ve received this ad as well. It was added: 53. Covet Fashion: Model Makeover (by Crowdstar Inc) — opened App Store, stretchy screen, no reward, prevented remaining ads from playing
This ad and the one above are both from Crowdstar Inc.

I was thinking this is a new problem. After the ad there is no stretchy screen as the game is restarted from the deca black screen and then the dragonvale start up screen and loss of gems and event tokens.
In social, on my gifts, I have a friend Laura. She is an old friend from GC days and I have no way to contact her.
The last week or so, the treat and gem gift buttons are shaded in, as if I’ve already gifted her, but I haven’t. And when I switch to the friends tab, she’s not even there. If I accept her gifted gem, she totally disappears !
Should I sign out of GC or something like that? It always stresses me out to sign out of DV lol. Like I won’t be able to sign back in, so much anxiety 🙄🤦🏻♀️

LynnMarie check in your iPad (not in game) that you are connected to Game Centre. Sometimes Apple/DV or the Green Goblin (probably Tolzar) manage to log you out from Game Centre.

Oh great. The online mag ads have returned. More annoying than ever. Makes me wonder if DECA is actually getting rid of them. Here's an album I caught red-handed.

Did all these online magazine ads result in stretchy screen and no reward?

The ones taken in Portrait mode are. However, the other ads that are listed may also be portrait view too. Causing stretchy screen. Oh, and some can be one minutes which is annoying as heck.
It's like the mobile game ads that I thought that wouldn't be offenders but has recently took the go-to-App Store method. Angry Birds 2 for example.
I found the Yahoo! one and other (potential) offenders.

I should add HelloBeautiful too. How many are there?!
This looks like a new batch of online magazine ads. I haven’t seen these titles.
Here’s how the previous online magazine adverts behaved:
1. Usually a 3-part ad. Each part lasts 20 seconds for a total of one minute. 2. If the ad isn’t broken up into 3 parts, it runs for 60 seconds. 3. Always results in stretchy screen. 4. Doesn’t payout and/or prevents the remaining ads from playing.
I’ll report the adverts from your screenshots.
I have an idea that maybe Deca could use to filter out the online magazine ads, which are always problematic.

Adding Gamesradar+ and maybe I should also add iHeartRadio too. (1 minute and annoying.) I think the ad providers in my side refuse to give me another type of ad. I’ll take the non-stop messenger ones back! I have to uninstall and reinstall in order to reset the ads.
Should I report some of the ads that take 30 seconds, throw a fake playable demo that takes 15 seconds and is very sensitive? Also it takes two closes in order to exit the ad.

I know the ads you’re talking about. I’ve received them as well. Only report ads that are buggy and result in one or more of the following:
• don’t payout the reward • stretchy screen • cannot be closed (no 'x') • crashes/freezes the game • opens the App Store • prevents other ads from playing
Do not report ads that are annoying — because aren’t all ads annoying to some degree? The ads have to cause a problem that prevents you from playing the game to qualify as a problematic ad.

In other words, I might stare for 60s+ and only receive only flicker, or multiple within seconds.
Do you have the Hooded dragon? If so, store Hooded in the Hibernation Cave and it should resolve the flickering issue (you can still have Hooded displayed in the Rift, but not the Vale). The dragon has a bug that’s causing the animation to go full screen in quick flashes.

I was in my park at reset today after the end of the event notification popped up I gifted out gems and claimed the daily prize, then the wonky wizard something went wrong message came up. I have not been able to successfully log back in to my park since then. After 3 attempts it prompts me to send deca a help ticket, which I have done. Then it goes to the screen to switch parks. I can log into a different park but not my main one. Doesn’t work on any of my other devices either. Just thought I’d put it out here, I haven’t seen any other post so I’m figuring it’s probably just me with the issue. Sorry to my daily gem friends if they didn’t send out before the crash, hopefully they can get me reset.

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear this. I hope you can get into your park soon. There are no complaints about this issue on Reddit, Discord, or reported by the Game Reps from their communities.
You could try deleting and reinstalling the app. Sometimes that helps to 'reset' the game. If that doesn’t work, hopefully Deca can resolve the problem quickly.
