PSA: I have some bad news for players. I know you’d rather have this information now, than be caught off guard, so here it goes...
Unfortunately, there will not be a break after Pirates in Paradise. A new event will start on Thursday, August 5th. I asked Deca, and they have confirmed.
I know Deca has been following the pattern of 3 consecutive events then a break for quite a while. But they decided to deviate from this with the next event. I do not know if this is due to Dragon Draw, BEB, the Expansion Extravaganza, or if it was always planned.
While we knew the back-to-back-to-back events was a general guideline and Deca could digress, it is not clear what will occur in the future. Deca has said they haven’t settled on a set schedule, so they may be experimenting.
I know this is not what members want. Your concerns over the last year have been relayed to Deca and it’s very similar to the comments from players on Facebook, Reddit, and Discord. The Game Reps have brought up this topic frequently, but since there were players who wanted no breaks in the Poll Plaza survey, and Deca feels they lose too may players during breaks, it does not look like Deca is willing to budge.
I will stress again, if you are feeling burnt out with the endless events and want a break, please take a break from DragonVale. That is the only way you’ll receive a proper break that meets your needs. Take a couple days, weeks, months, whatever works for you. The longer you play a game that’s frustrating or too taxing on your daily schedule, the faster you’ll grow to resent it. It’s not worth losing something you enjoy because you’re concerned about missing new content. Dragons will always come back to the game, but you will not come back to DragonVale if you no longer love it. So take a break. We will still be here when you return. ❤️

Well, three days of break is better than two or one. Maybe I'll be able to breed one of my last two permanent epics. Thanks so much for the heads up; not what I wanted to hear but the info is always appreciated. Maybe we'll get another new-concept event? I've also gone ahead and posted your announcement to the Discord and Reddit, giving you credit of course. Cheers!

That is totally BS. As far as I'm concerned they are going back on their word which discredits their credibility. I'm not burned out just very disappointed that they can not be trusted to stick to what they previously stated they would do. No excuses!

I understand what you’re saying, but Deca never said they would only do 3 consecutive events, and they have done 4 in a row in the past. 'Every 3 events more or less' is their exact quote, and I said 'this pattern isn’t strict, events may deviate, but it gives a general idea of what to expect'.

Thanks! I definitely believe it’s better for players to be aware of bad news in advance. I thought the Discord folks already knew, so I didn’t post there. But I’ll certainly post a reminder to complete the Rate a Dragon threads.
It’s interesting you view this as a three-day break, because many consider it to be no break, as the event takedown doesn’t occur until Wednesday. But after tomorrow, it does become a far more relaxing two days with no worries about event currency.

For me, the event ends when I'm unable to collect currency, since I almost always have bought everything I want before collection ends. So tomorrow, Tuesday, and Wednesday are technically off-days for me (except for before the reset tomorrow). So maybe it's not a true three-day break, but in my eyes I get a relaxing three days.

Yeah, that’s only two days, not three 😂

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I'm ready for another event. So long as the glass is at least half full of koalas, there shouldn't be any problems. 🐨🌿🌿🐨

I would be fine with the constant events if they don't feel like reskins of each other. They are always just permanent 3 dragons, 5-7 limited tier dragons, and the extra ways to get event currency is usually "Eggy Hatchy, Donations, or nothing at all." Barely any variety. Like at all.
Why not just bring back the mini events like Double Etherium, Off to the Races and Shimmering Solstice, etc?
Also, I believe my luck finally burned out and sizzled like a flame in the rain.
1. Just now did my ratings for this event. Not too late & there were 9 of them to rate; correct? 🤔 2. Know we discussed this at length before but i am still not sure; what is best way to breed Lunis & can we get it right now? 3. HUGE thanks to adlerist for the wonderful tip regarding buying the large treasure habitat! I was able to take advantage of it, would NEVER have figured it out on my own AND it brought my money back up very nicely! Growing these dragons up to 20 really depletes the treasury!
Thanks! And many many thanks to our wonderful moderators & gracious members who keep this the best forum of any game out there! 👍🏻😃😘

That’s correct, there are nine Rate a Dragon threads.
Yes, you can breed Lunis; it’s now a permanent dragon. The best combo is Bizurian + Moon.

I don't mind the constant stream of events. However, I would DEARLY love more islands and a BEB for the decorations to decorate these extra islands.
I have ~100 habitats in storage (Rift and Paradise, plus a few Surface, Harmonius, Sun, Moon, Giant Treasure and Giant Rainbow) with nowhere to place them. I am also struggling to place all the new decorations.

So apparently these large Treasure habitats are also a great way to earn tons of XP really quickly. Right now I have a double experience points boost activated, and when combined with the completion of eight large Treasure habitats, my level jumped by three!
This is so awesome. I'm going to keep selling habitats and earning lots of gold and XP along the way. Thank you so much for the information, adlerist .

Hopefully the koalas won't suffer with burnout because of the end on end events. They need a break to relax and have some time with their families and perhaps produce more baby koalas to help out.
I too don’t mind the frequent events that much anymore. For whatever reasons, I have been feeling more relaxed and less pressured playing these last couple of events, and even have time to “study” each dragon in order to rate them. 😅..Maybe it’s the better odds in breeding and more opportunities to gather event currencies?
This time, I was able to breed all the limiteds, and only have to buy Zilla, and all the peds. I also appreciate that we only have 7 special items to pick up and I can be done with them so quickly. Thank you to all the admins and mods for all your work!
I would like to request DECA if we can please please keep to the low number of hidden items, and please please to have a shorter event?
Btw, I just treated myself to a new iPad Air 4, (with all the money we saved from not traveling 😜🤣), and can’t wait for it to arrive in the next couple of days, just in time for the new event. 🤩
RL for me is very stressful at the moment and I was hoping for the week off. I’m right now just barely getting the minimum two visits to my park a day. And I still need to do all the dragon ratings. Ooh vell.
I think I might put out extra dragon kibble for a couple of days and meet you all back here on Thursday.
On a bright side, it only cost me 120 gems to speed breed a Zilla finally 🙄, minutes before reset 😅

The Game Reps have been requesting mini events, including the Shimmering Solstice, for over a year, since May 2020.
So far, there’s no word from Deca on whether this is something they’ll consider. It will be a new concept for them, so it’ll take a while to either adopt a previous mini event or develop a new one.
Your luck has a couple days to recharge and rise once again.

I bought a couple of large treasure habitats, and as they are indeed the best conversion item, it costs 12 gems each to speed up the time so I could sell them. They really are large, lol, and I don’t have the space to put 50 or so, and I can’t store the habitats unless the construction is complete. They will cost me a 500+ gems to sell 😳
Even though it costs double at 1500 doubloons, I think the giant habitat is what I’ll be buying. Each sells for 100 mil DC and costs nothing to construct. Buying 30ish will surely get me closer to buying another island. ☺️

I've been buying the Giant Treasure habitats, which are completed immediately.I've stuck them in any spaces I can find on various islands, without destroying the look of them. I think I've fitted about six extra, and as I didn't have that many treasure dragons to fill them, I've moved dragons around so each habitat has just two or three. This way they'll earn more money as I can only collect a couple of times a day.
I've been buying and selling the same one repeatedly, but as I had over 43,000 to spend, it's taking a while.
