Deca Games has developed a series of questions to gather feedback from players regarding their new event dragons. To capture an accurate account of players’ assessments, Rate a Dragon threads are created for each new dragon. These threads will be available approximately one to four weeks after a dragon’s release to allow players some time to breed the dragon and admire its fine qualities.
Since Deca asked players to rate their dragons and provided questions for the categories they would like to receive feedback on, please keep all comments related to the dragon. Opinions and suggestions about the selection process Deca utilises to add player-designed dragons to the game, requests to include or exclude a player’s dragons from the game, and other off-topic comments will not be passed on to Deca. In addition, excessively rude, graphic, or offensive remarks will not be relayed and could result in a ban. Criticism is certainly welcomed, but try to keep it constructive and related to the dragon.
The Rate a Dragon threads will remain unlocked until the event concludes on November 8th. At the end of the event, your ratings and comments will be passed on to the Deca DragonVale Team.
Please take a minute to rate the Candy Bash X: Into the Screamhouse dragons from 1-5 for each category. You can either post your feedback on this thread or message me. Thank you for participating, sharing your thoughts, and making this game even better with each dragon.

Please rate the Machina dragon on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = worst, 5 = best). If a rating below 1 or above 5 is given, or if more than one number is provided, the rating will not count.
(Image of baby and adult Machina dragons without a trait for comparison)
1. Rate Machina’s animation quality
2. How would you rate Machina’s Rift trait placement and look (the lightning trait is showing in the above video)
3. Rate Machina’s size (you may want to check how Machina compares to other dragons in your park; if you don’t own Machina, please check a friend’s park)
4. Rate Machina’s price (17,200 Candy)
5. How well does Machina fit the theme of the event?
6. Rate Machina’s design details
7. How would you rate Machina’s breeding combo (COMBUSTION + metal + lightning)
8. How much do you like Machina (1 = I hate it, 5 = I love it!)
Comments/feedback for Deca
The post below is a template you can copy/paste into your reply so it’s easier to rate the dragon. Please be sure to use the template assigned to the dragon, as the questions may vary.
1. 3 I like most of it, apart from the random dancing. 2. 5 Couldn’t have been placed elsewhere really. 3. 2 Too big. 4. 1 Even I, a max level player, only average about 1.7k a day (counting doubles as two) when I’m able to play daily. For new or casual players, this is more than a week’s worth of EC — i.e. more than what they’d be earning in the time Machina is available for. The cloning odds don’t make up for this, especially with DW happening during its availability. Please, DECA, we’re begging you, stop giving dragons extremely high prices! Of course, Machina's availability has been extended, but DECA intended this price for a dragon that would only last a week. 5. 5 The description rescues it theme-wise. (I’m surprised I didn’t realise straight away that this would be a Tolzar dragon.) Without the description, it doesn’t really suggest Halloween. Summerthings Magical would have been a better event, though we already had Invento with that one. 6. 3 I really don’t like the baby. At first glance the orb makes it look like its entire head (which is half of its body) is just an eye. The adult design is better but I’m not personally a fan of it. 7. 4.5 At least the combo is decent, and it’s nice when 10% cloning dragons have combos that mean they can get both combo and cloning odds at once when they’re available. The long fail times are annoying though, hence the score not being 5. 8. 3 I like it for its combo and concept but not much else. 🤷♀️ Comments: Seriously, DECA, STOP the obscenely high prices. Even for dragons with decent combos, it’s not fair. And while I accept that it’s not quite as unfair for dragons with good combos, that doesn’t change the fact that the total price of the new releases alone — not even considering the huge number of returning dragons — is way too much. This has got to stop. Now.
Animation: 4/5 Overall, it's not bad. He needs a tad bit more personality, though.
Trait: 3/5 I do enjoy the trait addition to the stripes upon the dragon's body. However, I dislike the placement on its stomach as it there is now too much. And the placement of it on the back arm especially triggers my ocd, as the front one is untraited.
Size: 4,5/5 Overall, the size of Machina is about right. A teeny bit smaller would be nice, but I am fine with the current size.
Price: 1/5 The prices this event are just absurd. It would take about 2 whole weeks of regular play just to rack up the EC needed to buy this dragon.
Theme: 4/5 Although I feel like a mechanical dragon doesn't really fit in with the whole "Halloween" or "scary" vibes, it does fit this event more than any other one.
Design: 5/5 Really enjoy ye ole Backflip style to this one.
Combo: 4.5/5 Considering that Combustion is an elemental combo, and only Combustion is a required parent, the breeding combo for this dragon is pretty relieving. The only downside is that Combustion has a whopping 60H breeding/incubation time, which can be a burden for players who do not yet own a Combustion Dragon.
Preference: 3/5 This is a dragon which I neither love nor despise - and will probably forget about.
1. Animation 5/5 DECA really going HAM on these animations lately, huh.
2. Rift trait 4/5 I mean, it looks good
3. Size (if you don’t own Machina, please check a friend’s park) 4/5 Tad bit too big but that might be just me
4. Price (17,200 Candy) 1/5 WHY
5. How well does Machina fit the theme of the event 3/5 It's a bit more on the futuristic 2001 A Space Odyssey vibe rather than killer robot vibe but it's nice
6. Design details 5/5 Lots of work went into this
7. How would you rate Machina’s breeding combo (COMBUSTION + metal + lightning) 4.5/5 Extremely fitting really good job with this one
8. How much do you like Machina (1 = I hate it, 5 = I love it!) 4.5/5 really fun dude! Glad i got it into my park it's been a while since last metal primary so it's much appreciated. I would love a hyperdetailed 2nd robot dragon in the future though, the concept has a lot of potential ^W^
5. How well does Machina fit the theme of the event: 5, this one probably came from the future “Terminator” style, or through a wormhole, so yes, I think it fits the theme.
6. Design details:5
7. How would you rate Machina’s breeding combo (COMBUSTION + metal + lightning): 4
8. How much do you like Machina: 5
Comments/feedback for Deca: I think it is refreshing that Deca is including some machine like/futuristic dragons. I like this dragon, with the bright orange head. It makes sense to me that Combustion is a parent, and it sounds easy. Unfortunately Combustion is a 60 hour fail, and in conjunction with DW, and the metal elements, it can be very frustrating with a number of long fails. More than once, all my 3 breeding caves were simultaneously filled with over 24 hour fails.
5. How well does Machina fit the theme of the event : 4
6. Design details : 5
7. How would you rate Machina’s breeding combo (COMBUSTION + metal + lightning) : 5
8. How much do you like Machina : 4
Comments/feedback for Deca : Great animations. Such a shame some of the animations don’t show in the Dragonarium. I love the hatching, electrifying animation. The event dragon prices have got real expensive, real fast. Not cool. Good breeding combo although the metal element is redundant. It is unfortunate that Combustion takes 60 hours to breed. Would you consider lowering its breeding time please? With Gold and the Rainbow fails, there are already 4 with 2+ day fails. Nice design, really like his orange eye. Machina is different looking from the usual dragons but fits in well.
1. 5/5 Fab animation. Fly you beautiful creature, fly! 2. 5/5 The trait placement is brilliant 3. 5/5 Big but deserves to be 4. 3/5 Another one that’s too expensive (they all are) 5. 5/5 Weird & wonderful, a good fit 6. 5/5 A fabulous design. The huge orange eye is a thing of beauty 7. 4/5 It does make sense but loses a mark for Combustion’s eye watering breeding time 8. 5/5 It’s electrifying!
