Every time I open the game, I receive a pop-up announcement for a Dragon’s Week dragon. It’s maddening. I’ve had one for Liberty, Solstice, Fireworks, Solar Eclipse, Ruby, Kite, Pearl, etc. I finally got the announcement for Lovey and could post it on the event thread — seven hours after its release. 😄
Hopefully, Deca will remove them tomorrow.
Same here. It's kind of hilarious, but mostly hair-pullingly frustrating!
Deca said they probably can’t remove the announcements for the DW dragons but will try to prevent it from happening again. Six more days of random announcements…

PSA: Lambovian is NOT in the Galaxy Egg of Mystery
Today, just to be on the safe side, I asked if Lambovian is in the Galaxy Egg of Mystery since this is the only way players can acquire a traited Lambovian (besides Dragon Draw and maybe the daily reward egg and other mystery eggs). VibeLily confirmed it is not in the Galaxy Egg of Mystery. Lambovian probably won’t be added until Monday, February 19th.
I asked if they could check for Lambovian in the daily reward Galaxy egg and the standard and epic mystery eggs in the Rift Market.
If you need a traited Lambovian, do not purchase the Galaxy Egg of Mystery until the reps have confirmed that it has been included.
(This PSA will be cross-posted on the event thread.)

I had the Dragons Week announcement pop up this morning. Dargon was the only dragon on the announcement, but he's not in Dragons Week. Deca need a generic Dragons Week announcement. Some players are going to think that they can breed Dargon. Very pleased that Dargon is not in this Dragons Week. With all the other dragons that are included and adding to the Lovey fails, Dargon is one that isn't needed. We love you Dargon, but not just now. ❤️️
As well as dragons for Dragons Week, Deca have also made some the following affiliated decorations available in the market. 😊

I honestly think Dargon and Motley should only be available around April Fools' and shouldn't show up in events or DWs. DWs are already difficult enough especially when they fall during events, and always having the possibility of Dargon/Motley adds to that difficulty, I would argue unnecessarily so.

So far the only one's I've had announcements for are dragons that get released outside of events. Normally those announcements only show up for the first 2 days of availability, so hopefully they'll stop after the next reset.
Though there are also two days of "last call" announcements so if my theory is correct 4/7 days will end up having announcements anyway.

Sorry, if I wasn’t clear. The only announcements that should be showing in the game are the ones for Lovey, DW, Carnival, Lapis, Okenite, Seed, and Amethyst (and they should be prioritised in that order). There is no reason for the individual DW dragon announcements to appear (Liberty, Solstice, Fireworks, Solar Eclipse, Ruby, Kite, Pearl, etc.). It totally drowns out important news. I shouldn’t be receiving Lovey’s pop-up seven hours after it was released because I had to open my game a dozen times to get it to appear.
As I mention on Friday, Deca said they will not be removing the unnecessary announcements before DW ends. But they’ll try to prevent it from happening next time. So four more days of random announcements…

I understood what you meant. I was just saying I had only received notices for DW dragons that typically get released outside of events. Event dragons didn't seem to get them. From what I can see my theory was correct since I haven't got the notices over the weekend. I was merely making an observation.
Players are receiving Quintessence while attempting to breed Lovey (Rosegold + Cyclamen) and Jackpot (Loot + Gold). However, the breeding combos for Lovey and Jackpot do not fulfil Quintessence’s breeding requirement. The water element is missing in both instances. Deca is looking into the issue.

Funny how people are getting Quintessence by mistake and I've been trying non-stop for the whole week without getting one :')
PSA: Lambovian has been added to the Galaxy Egg of Mystery
That’s it. That’s the whole PSA.
I know there’s not a lot of time left to purchase Galaxy eggs. But if you do, koala! ✨💙✨
Thanks for that. Now if only we could manage some higher odds for ones we don’t have traited… bought 5 galaxy eoms this event. That’s somewhere around 550,000 etherium for me. Heading into this I needed 5: Celerulean, Nova, Polarian, Starlight and Lambovian.
Egg 1: Polarian!!! (Holy moly!) Egg 2: Tiedian (I have a few of those) Egg 3: Polarian. (Really?…) Egg 4: Procyon (sigh, ok…) Egg 5: Comet (…I have at least 2 of these)
I really don’t understand why Deca will give us an entire extra week to double or triple our Loveys for Loveydoveys, but can’t give us guaranteed dup protection for Day 2 daily eoms. Can Deca just… not code it? It feels Spiteful at this point. I know we’ve beaten this dragon already, it just infuriates me every time these eggs return (and every 100 days that I get a fourth or fifth Andromedan or whatever I’m at). Anyway, very thankful to RNG for my Polarian! Sad that Starlight still eludes me. /rant

It’s funny, everything is so circular and interconnected. Earlier today, Calli mentioned the Daily Rewards EOMs and how it doesn’t recognise missing twins or missing traits. This is an issue that the reps brought up a couple of years ago, and it’s on our request list. Once a player has all the dragons from the mystery egg collection (epic, galaxy, gemstone, etc), they should receive a missing twin. If they have all the twins in the collection, they should receive a traited-twin with an unlocked trait.
But the way it’s set up right now, if the player owns all the dragons in the collection, they are given a random dragon. Twins and traits are not recognised. The Daily Rewards mystery eggs have been like this for ages. I asked Backflip about it many years ago, and they said this is how the Daily Rewards mystery eggs are intended to work. So, it’s not a problem or spitefulness from Deca. And based on the things they’ve developed for the game, I highly doubt they don’t know how to code it. The Daily Rewards EOM was purposefully set up this way by Backflip. For Deca to change it, the DV Team will need to look into the impact it will have on the game, and if there is none, decide to move forward. This is a lot more involved than extending Lovey’s availability.
I wholeheartedly agree this change should be made and the reps have advocated for it for years. Deca is aware that players want this. But for Deca, they can’t make changes until they investigate how it’ll affect the game, and it may not be considered as urgent as other issues, which will cause delays. Players understandably always want change to occur quickly, but change is usually a slow, methodical process dictated by priority.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I know Backflip set it up and I know Deca needs to count their chickens, I mean dragons, before making changes and that this is probably at the absolute bottom of a very long list. It’s just so frustrating. I have Spite, Florestry, Pikeleaf and 4 Galaxy dragons left to get traited. Well, until tomorrow. Whether or not the other eoms have dupe protection is beside the point, since all other dragons are actually breedable in the Rift. And for those that rarely return, we have Runic Caves. Maybe someday I’ll blow through all my saved etherium and see what I get. Maybe the koalas will have my back.

It is frustrating not being able to have a guaranteed way to get traited Galaxy dragons. Lambovian 'should' be a last reward gift in the Camping event as Deca introduced it last year.
It's not a great solution, but you could try your hand at Dragon Draw. Lambovian comes up quite often, but the other Galaxy dragons are harder to catch. I wish that Deca would use the themed part of Dragon Draw and just cycle through the Galaxy dragons. There have been no themed dragons for months.

A Galaxy Dragon Draw theme would be nice. Seems like something they could make some cash on too. Don’t know how I forgot Lambo will be back as (hopefully) an end of event reward this year - that’s exactly how I got traited Gravity. So that’s something, I guess.
In other news, sadly no traited Rubrum for me. Haven’t managed a twin yet either… so looks like I have a goal for Runic Caves. Hoping the last limited is nicer. Between those eoms and breeding into the 20ks for Rubrum, I’ve actually lost quite a bit of etherium this event.

I most certainly understand and share your frustration with the traited Galaxy dragon problem. It sounds like the concerns you have are more about traited Galaxy dragons than the various eggs from the Daily Rewards. There are a lot of different ways to potentially fix the Galaxy issue without dealing with the Daily Rewards complexity. Deca could either adjust the Galaxy Egg of Mystery, so it recognises when a player is missing a traited Galaxy dragon, and duplicates are only offered after all traited Galaxy dragons are acquired. Or they could dramatically lower the price of the Galaxy egg so it caps at 50,000 Etherium. Or they could let players wish for traited dragons at the Wishing Well. Or they could remove Galaxy dragons from the purple fire requirement, like how Ghostly dragons are exempt from red and blue fires.
The Galaxy problem is an issue that I’ve brought up a lot with Deca. Hopefully, they’ll resolve it before releasing another Galaxy dragon.
Speaking of those traited Galaxy dragons…
Last Thursday, about six hours before Dragon’s Week and the Galaxy Egg of Mystery left, I dove into the Galaxy gamble for the traited-twin Lambovian.
A dozen egg purchases later, and I’m thinking… this isn’t going very well. Then egg number 14…
Tears of joy and relief! Every day, I am still 🥹. It’s hard to believe that traited Lambo is in my Rift. It’s like that dream where you’ve reached Everest’s peak, or outwitted Moriarty, or solved the Riemann hypothesis.
I spent 787,500 Etherium, so definitely got lucky. I was dreading it would cost millions and millions, and I only had about 7-8 million to spare. Now, I am a much more relaxed player. Still log in a decent amount, but there's no longer a weighted stress to open the game and collect Etherium constantly.
MinyaZ, in the 13 eggs on the way to Lambovian, I received Gravity and Lunis, and a Discord player got Solis, so it’s confirmed — all of Deca’s Galaxy dragons are in the eggs. And we already know Backflip’s are in there, so the Galaxy Egg of Mystery is complete.
I also unlocked five traits I needed, one each for Celerulean, Comet, Eridanian, Gravity, and Lunis. With Lambovian, that’s six traits acquired, not too bad. I’m glad the duplicates from the expensive Galaxy eggs at least resulted in needed traits and saved me some Etherium that way.
In the lingering Lambovian luck, I decided to try for a second traited Lovey and bred it at the 5,000 Etherium mark. Immediately evolved it into a traited Loveydovey. That late Thursday DV session was one of the luckiest I’ve ever had in my twelve years at DragonVale.
I send a galaxy of luck your way for that elusive traited Lambo, hawk! May you receive it from the Daily Rewards!

A huge CONGRATS! I’m so happy for you!! Not much etherium at all in the end. Any idea what your Galaxy EOM price is at now? Think I’ll just have to bide my time for Lambo. I’m really pining for Starlight. Maybe someday the Deca gods will shine down on me as I open a daily reward.

My next Galaxy Egg of Mystery is 112,500 Etherium (Lambovian was 105,000). I bought a bunch of Galaxy eggs when Backflip first introduced them. That’s how I got all the traited-twin Galaxy dragons and their pedestals. When the Galaxy EOM prices were changed years ago and the price reset, I never purchased more, so I remained at 7,500. When Deca took over, Lunis and Solis were not a problem since they're breedable in the Rift. Gravity was the first hiccup. At that time, I didn't have enough Etherium to unlock all the traits for all the dragons and purple fire, so it didn’t seem worth the gamble for Gravity. I just waited until the Camping event returned a year later and claimed the traited-twin Gravity from the final prize. But this year was different. I really needed the traited-twin Lambovian.

👀 I had no idea the prices had reset under Backflip. I only started playing the Winter event before Deca took over. This game has so much history.
