Well done and thank you Deca for this event's dragons which are full of flair and very evocative of the garden and/or autumn. My favourite is Fomhar.

I liked the shorter event format.

Earning event currency from racing has me back racing at least for these few weeks. Could you add an incentive to choose the previous week's event dragon when racing e.g via some races requiring the same elements as those of the event dragons? The current race element requirements are quite repetitive.

Thanks for the decoration options too. A maze is an attractive option, although I'm still mulling how much space I can afford to dedicate to a maze.

I really enjoyed this event. The breeding had challenges but were doable. I thought there was a good balance.

Fomar is my favorite dragon, followed closely by Maze. Diggy was the least appealing, but he has a great animation to make up for it. Stanstone was the most difficult dragon for me to breed.

I felt that the breeding requirements for the limited dragons were improved for this event….did’t have to breed an impossible dragon to get another impossible dragon to complete the required breeding pair.

I normally use racing to help accumulate dragon treats and erithium, and gems (when I’m lucky). Getting event currency for racing was a really nice surprise.

I like the Garden Gate decoration, but I’m not a fan of the hedge. The Erie Fog and Pits were awesome in the the last event. Especially the Erie Fog.

My on-going complaint is about the ads that redirect to the App Store. It’s RUDE…like going into someone’s house without knocking. Then they leave the connection open on top of the insult. If their ad is like that, there’s no way I’m going to download and install it.

Maze is my choice

I really loved all the new dragons in this event! There are all winners!!

Diggy and Fomhar were the ones that wowed me the most.

One thing that I missed and it was mentioned on the forum at the beginning of the event is that Spice was not the event currency. Is that because this event was less about Thanksgiving and Om of Noms and more about gardens? Players really missed the Spice. I think it still would’ve worked, or a new currency could’ve be created like Acorns. Magic didn’t fit the event.

Thank you for the beautiful Garden Noms event, DECA! And thank you to the forum for all the helpful and up to date info and the spoiler contest! Thank you for the gems, DECA!

Could easily pick three favourites; Maze, Fomhar & Keyper.

Had more breeding success than usual, particularly with the first three dragons, which is great. I too appreciate the extra currency available from the racetrack adding a bit more incentive. A shorter event now & again definitely works, it’s all been quite relaxed!

The only problem I have, which I always mention in Rate a Dragon, is the sheer size of some/lots of Deca’s designs. At level 20 all but one of these event dragons are huge! They look slightly ridiculous & take up entire habitats leaving smaller dragons fighting to be seen. I now have far too many fully grown dragons in hibernation, preferring to keep juvenile or baby versions on show. If they’re epics it’s not so much of a problem but it seems to be the trend for regulars now. Big doesn’t necessarily mean better!

It was very enjoyable having a shorter event. It was more relaxing and less stressful. Prices were a bit expensive for a short event with no way to earn a lot of extra currency. There were some excellent breeding combos and decent co-op cloning chances for some of the dragons. Using the race track to give some currency was a welcome addition to the event. Some of the recently released dragons are getting tooooooooo big with too much detail and very small heads.

The new and improved Double Rift extravaganza was a welcome surprise. Could we please have more of these included in future events?

Would it be possible to have more events that are a bit shorter with fewer dragons in the future please?

Thank you for sponsoring the Keyper Spoiler Contest. 👍

Last, but not least. I love the egg designs, especially Maze. They are outstanding. 😊

Fomhar is my favorite. 

This shorter event has been relaxing and enjoyable. I like that event activities can be performed at one’s own leisure, with no pressure on watching for the time. (Unlike prior events, when the dragon challenge is every 6 hours, or you only get 5 tickets for the eggy hatchy at one time)..

Thank you for the higher social cloning odds of the non-breedable dragons. And the parents for the limiteds were very reasonable, although Diggy was a bit difficult. I was able to breed all the limiteds in each of my parks, but one without a traited Diggy. 

I like all the dragons and their eggs in this event, except most of them are on the larger side. Love the garden gate deco! Wish we could have a Standstone statue. 😃

The Double Rift was a nice surprise. Thank you for the Garden Noms event. 🌾😍

[ilovdragons]

My top 3 were Keyper, Maze and Fomhar and my favorite was Maze. Loved the brilliant green colors and movement of arms/wings and decoration on the head.
All of the dragons were stunning with wonderful detail. Very hard to pick favorites. And the eggs were gorgeous as always!
Loved that this event seemed more relaxed and not stressful.
Loved the double rift & would like to see it repeated.
Diggy was the hardest to breed for me.

Great event, DECA! 👍🏻 Thanks! 😃
Relaxing event…stunning detailed gorgeous dragons…and beautiful eggs too.

I voted for Fomhar, Bushwhack and Diggy. They are beautifully designed and have great animations and wonderful character.

This event felt more relaxed, which was much needed from my end. It was a busy month irl and the slower pace helped me keep up. All of the new dragons are unique and have well thought out rift traits. The combos were also doable, which helped keep stress down.

The theme - I think I was thrown off because of the name and time of year. This really felt like a spring Easter-type theme to me; one that would have monolith dragons. But it was called Garden Noms and since it's traditionally been a Thanksgiving-like event, my brain was in food garden mode. Somehow my brain was never able to merge the two. Also, I only just realized while doing the Ratings that "Garden Noms" sounds like "Garden Gnomes", so maybe I'm slow. But now I *almost* wish there had been a garden gnome dragon.

The new decos were a little lackluster (sorry). I'm not a fan of gates, particularly gates that only face in one direction. The hedge looks really nice, but it's too expensive to buy with event currency for any sort of maze. I'll wait until it returns for coins to give it a shot. Would DECA consider making decos like that hedge into a new cube design? I could get behind that. I'd absolutely spend gems to unlock a hedge cube design.

Maybe a deco version of the Standstone dragon is in our future?

On a different topic, I love these double rift currency weekends. They're very much appreciated.
Thank you for all your hard work and another fun event. I love DV and am so grateful Deca took it on and continues to make it their own.

I really loved this event! I always look forward to the Om of Noms because it’s more relaxing, especially knowing the next event, winter/Christmas is crazy. 

Diggy and Fomhar were my faves! Ireland thanks you for Fomhar! You’ve created dragons in the past with an Irish background and we REALLY appreciate that!

Thank you adlerist and the forum mods and DECA for The Spoiler Contest! That was really fun and got me more excited about the dragons.

Thank you DECA for the event and dragons! And thank you to the forum for always keeping us up to date and in the loop!
