In the middle of the night, when everyone had been fast asleep for hours, SHADOWFLASH crept into the Vale. By the time everyone awoke, he had disappeared in a flash, and no-one was none the wiser.
Shadowflash is in the co-op flipping the lights on and off like a disco. Koala shadow puppets to all!
I may be the only one who is not surprised by the release date of this little beauty. 😊
The original Flash dragon has references to The Flash in it's description. This little critter, Shadowflash, is basically the Dark Flash. The Flash 2023 movie was just released on DVD on August 29th, which also features The Dark Flash. Coincidence? Probably not.
Yes, I'm a DC Girl and I love The Flash with all my heart, so that's my interpretation of this. 💛💛💛 I just finished watching Zack Snyder's Justice League last night and will be rewatching The Flash (for the sixth time) later this evening. Also, I will have this dragon. It is an absolute must, added to my Wishlist because that is exactly what I will do to get one if breeding doesn't prove successful.
You may be interested to know that Shadowflash has been in the game data for three years. It appeared to be a backburner dragon just slow cooking, waiting to be called upon. There were several others, but those were slowly released over the years. Shadowflash remained elusive. This is why players were so surprised when it was finally released. Didn't think the day would ever come. After three years, we pretty much gave up.
I love your DC reference! I know some of the Deca folks are Marvel fans based on their pseudonyms.

I have been wondering to myself if Shadowflash had been in the game for a few years, since it had a Backflip-esque design.
As a result, I do want to ask: Is Shadowflash a Backflip design that got pushed back all these years? Or is it one of DECA's earliest designs? Three years ago was around the time when DECA took over DragonVale from Backflip when they shut down.
Also, could this mean that there are Surface element dragons hiding in the code of the game? (probably not, but there is a chance).

I believe Shadowflash is Deca’s dragon. There aren’t any other dragons lurking in the shadows of the data. Shadowflash was the last. That’s not to say that Deca doesn’t have other back-burner dragons elsewhere.

I have bred a Librian with an Earth trait. Usually not my favourite trait, but apart from the top of the scales changing colour, I cannot see that Librian has a trait anywhere else. It is very subtle. I will have to try and breed another one with a different more striking trait. 😊

For a second I thought you meant Virgonian, I was very confused 🤣
My plant trait Librian has slightly obvious specks of green around the chest sort of area, but that's it from what I can tell. It's quite under-traited in my opinion. I am glad DECA avoided going over the top though.

Dear Diary - Today is the 23rd day that I have been camping out under the stars, moving from one park to another, trying to get a glimpse of that elusive Aries constellation. Legend has it that there is a .668% chance that one can see “ traits” emitting from the entire constellation, especially on a clear sky with a full moon. So, patiently, I roamed from one park to another, keeping my eyes peeled every night, hoping to see these “traits”.
On the 10th day, I got my first sighting in one of the parks, located way down in the southern hemisphere. It was certainly a glorious sight, with lightning surrounding the constellation. I was so mesmerized! Then I tried to see if I can get another sighting in my second park, which is way up north. I was not disappointed by the 14th day. This time, the constellation was emitting a tremendous amount of light!
Now, I move to my third park, by the equator. I have been sitting outside my tent every night, with a glass of wine, a plate of green apples, dark chocolates, and a basket of eucalyptus leaves. Hopefully I’ll be able to see it soon. 🐨🐨
I would like to know how many of you were forced, like me, to switch to low resolution? It's a shame because we lose a lot of quality in the graphics.
I switched ages ago, pretty much as soon as I noticed it was a thing. I've had to reinstall quite a lot and the game sets itself to the default settings (including not being low resolution). I do notice a small difference (mostly on the NPC pop ups) but it's really not that bad.
I think you'll probably get used to it as you use it
adlerist, the Dragonarium is saying that Pisceian and Aquarian (and possibly other Zodiacs too) are only buyable from the Astral Spire, not breedable. Please could you ask DECA to correct this?

I took a look at this in the game. All the returning Zodiacs have a green hourglass in the Dragonarium indicating they’re breedable. It’s only if the player doesn’t own the dragon and they tap on the icon that a pop-up message shows indicating that the dragon is available at the event market. The phrase 'or by breeding' is missing. The other dragons in the market have 'or by breeding' in the pop-up. I can mention this to Deca, but since it’s a minor issue (the Redditor even deleted their post) it may not be changed this late into the event. If the green hourglasses were not showing that would require an immediate fix.

I switched to Low Resolution Mode when it was introduced by Backflip. Low Resolution was a rite of passage for iOS players in 2019. An update caused crashes, and all large parks with less than 3GB RAM were affected (back then that was most iOS devices). So when low res was released two months later, it was a relief because it stopped the constant crashing. The game is definitely more blurry in low res, which is okay, unless you’re taking screenshots and/or using the images for things outside of the game (I avoided posting low res images on the Forum). But the blurry downfall of low res was a decent middle ground until I had a chance to upgrade my device.
If you start experiencing crashes again in Low Resolution Mode, you may want to turn on Optimize Memory if you haven’t already. It reduces memory consumption, so it should lessen performance issues and crashes. The trade-off is that some of the transitional effects when moving around your park will be laggy.

If you’re ever lost, Kaleen and Murzick64 are the stars to follow and guide you home
Thank you so very much, murzick64 and Kaleen! Librian may be the final Zodiac dragon released, but it is the best one twinned. The twin blue background looks magnificent! I have sent glowing gems and twinkling treats to your Vale in great appreciation. Many cheers!

Overall, the limit of 4GB of RAM on my current device makes it so that my park tends to lag quite a bit, due to its size (if you have visited my park in the past, you would know how big the park is.)
Although turning on low resolution mode does help to reduce the lag a little bit, it does not help to a significantly noticeable degree. My park still lags and stutters often, crashing occasionally as it did in high-resolution.
This video I posted on Reddit is a good example of what the lag looks like when the park is in low resolution mode. There is not much of a difference between this and high-resolution mode.
As for the Optimize Memory setting, I tend to keep it disabled as I have found out, the hard way, that turning it on actually worsens the overall lag.
Considering the decrease in graphics and the low amount of lag reduction, I still almost prefer the park to be in high resolution mode, as the significant decrease in visuals outweigh the very slight benefits.

And a lot of stars are falling on the island where the star generator is! Beautifull in the night!
I keep forgetting which island I put it on, so it's a nice surprise when suddenly stars are falling all around my island 🌠🤩🌠
I put it on the island with my Zodiac and Galaxy Dragons, for obvious reasons.
