The Player Profile is indeed a neat feature, although I have not had time to tinker with it yet. adlerist , thanks for the reminder of switching up the favorite dragon. 😃..My first thought when I saw that was: which one should I pick? 🥺😳🤔…Now I don’t need to worry… I do have a tiny request of DECA if possible: can we use emojis for the signboard? I tried but seems like it won’t allow that. Thanks. 🙏🙏
The signboard does accept emojis, but only a couple generic, standard emojis. I was able to get the heart, umbrella, snowman, snowflake, sun, and skull & crossbones to work. If you use emojis, it takes up several spaces on the already limited 10 characters.
You can only display four emojis max (umbrella, sun, heart, skull & crossbones)
Or two emojis and six letters (snowman, snowflake). Look at how much better the font looks! It is no longer too wide and glaring. Emojis change the font so it’s not so terrible.
The polar bear emoji just shows as a snowflake, so that’s pretty crushing.
I can ask if the signboard can accept more emojis.

Here is the complete list of requests from the Game Reps and Forum members that has been sent to Deca (I also updated the previous post with the Player Profile instructions):
• How long does it take for the online indicator to turn grey? • Can the online indicator be placed directly on the Friends list, so it’s not necessary to click on every player’s dragon avatar? • Currently, the character limitation on the sign is only 10 characters. Can this be increased with a smaller font? • Since the message on the portal signboard is visible to friends, will a profanity filter be installed? • Add a co-op request feature to the profile, so players can advertise the dragon they need. • Allow players to disable / hide the portal signboard if it doesn’t match the decorations on their island. • Change the font on the portal sign. It’s too large and bold, and the bright white text pops too much. • Allow players to click on their friend’s dragon avatar in both the Friends and Gifts tabs to view their profiles. • Bring the entire concept of Lisgie’s request into the game: on the Friends list, provide a timestamp or how many hours / days since our friends have played DV, so we can easily see who is inactive (we’re halfway there with the online indicator). • Add in-game instructions on how to view a friend’s profile from the Social menu. • Allow more emojis on the signboard.
These requests / feedback / complaints have been submitted to Deca. Thank you to all our fabulous staff and members!

We’ve heard back from Deca regarding the online indicator on the new player profiles. Here’s what the different colours mean and when they’ll appear.
• Green / Online: the indicator will show a green dot when the player is online and up to 5 minutes after they close the game
• Yellow / Recently Online: the dot will remain yellow for 2 days after the player closes DV (and has not reopened it)
• Grey / Offline: the indicator will appear grey after more than 2 days of no activity
Please be aware, the indicator may be updated in the future. This is what the different colours represent right now.

PSA: DV update is now available for iOS and Android
DV version 4.27.1 is now in the App Store and Play Store.
I believe this update is supposed to address some of the Android crashes and loading issues. If I hear any additional information about it, I’ll let everyone know.

Thank you. It auto updated, just not fixed the crashing issues.
Deca has stated the new update helps with some bugs that resulted in crashes, but not all. And it would likely not resolve any remaining problems with loading issues, which appears to be a separate problem. They are still working on the other bugs affecting Android players with large parks.

T H E S U P E R E X P A N S I O N PSA: Everything is Expanding
In the past, with Backflip’s Rift Expansion, there was a lot of anger and backlash when prices were increased and players were caught off guard. So, I asked Deca if they’d be willing to share this information in advance. They have kindly done this.
Knowing that the mystery egg caps and breeding prices are going to increase will prepare players. You can now strategise and either spend as much of your Etherium before 8 September on mystery eggs, or save it for the expansion. You also know there will be 20 new Rift islands and more Miasmic Ether to clear, so keep that cost in mind too.
Thank you Deca Games for sharing the inflation in advance so we can plan. Many cheers!

AMAZING RAINBOW UPDATE FOR AURORA, PARTY, AND ENFIS!
Since players have been suffering from constant Aurora, Party, and Enfis breeding fails over the years, we asked for an adjustment to their breeding percentages, so if you own the dragon, your odds of receiving it will be lower. Deca Games graciously and wonderfully agreed to this!
Here are the new breeding percentages:
• Aurora: 4% if you don’t own it; 1% if you own it • Party: 3% if you don’t own it; 1% if you own it • Enfis: 3% if you don’t own it; 1% if you own it
The first percentage, if you don’t own it, has not changed. The second percentage has been added to prevent frequent, nonstop breeding fails, since most of these dragons have 50+ hour breeding / incubation times. This is important, because Aurora has been released for Dragon’s Week. Aurora, Party, and Enfis now have breeding percentages similar to the Leap Year dragons, so they’re more in line with the Rainbow dragons and the game. Hopefully, this will help all players breed the dragons they need and end the DV frustration.
Aurora, we love you, but not that much. Now we can love you even more. 🌈❤️

Nightbloom and Misfortune are now permanent dragons!
Deca Games is looking to hold four Dragon’s Weeks per year so all the limited dragons can be released within 12 months. Using the Dragonarium as a guide, Forum staff organised the dragons by their categories. When I placed the limiteds into each Dragon’s Week, Nightbloom and Misfortune were in three of the four Dragon’s Weeks, because they’re breeding parents for so many dragons and show in multiple events. I recommended they become permanent, since they appear so frequently. Deca Games marvellously agreed to this, and now Nightbloom and Misfortune will be hanging around the Vale a lot more!
(FYI: There’s an error with Nightbloom. Since his status has changed to permanent, he is also showing in the Dark and Plant categories of the Dragonarium because those elements are on his profile card. Deca has been notified.)

Here are my questions
1. Can there be a feature that lets us add a trait (or remove it for people who don’t want it) when we breed a dragon in the Rift and it doesn’t have a trait? This could be limited to once or twice a week, so it doesn’t change anything too much. Players who want to use it more could pay to add or remove a trait. It’s so frustrating to breed a dragon that’s difficult to get and it doesn’t have a trait, then it happens again and again. A lot of players collect traited dragons.
2. Will DECA please let us wish for traited-twin dragons?

Can DECA please change the Galaxy Egg of Mystery so there are no duplicates? It’s almost impossible to get all the Galaxy dragons.
Thank you everybody for your terrific questions! I have added them to the Deca Ask Us Anything post. The deadline has now passed, so if you didn’t have a chance to make your inquiries, please save them for next time. Cheers!

Thanks adlerist!
Those are both outstanding suggestions samiam. I bred one Hydnellum in the rift - without a trait. I would have paid gems or Etherium to have been able to add a trait. Spent the rest of the week trying for a rifted one without success. I would have been able to use these rift attempts to try and breed the other Spooky dragons that I do not have with a trait. 😊
