🍂 VOTE FOR THE TOP DRAGON IN THE GREENHOUSE 🍃

[adlerist]

THE TOP DRAGON IN THE GREENHOUSE IS...

You’ve analysed and examined every aspect of each event dragon. Now, let us know which Into the Greenhouse dragons brought the festivity to your feast and the green to your greenhouse.


If you’re new to the polls or the Forum, here are some helpful tips:

1. You must be a member to vote. This is a restriction by ProBoards and cannot be altered. An account is required to keep track of votes and to prevent multiple votes by anonymous guests.

2. When you vote, it is automatically recorded. There’s no Submit button. Backing out or clicking away from the thread will not undo your selection.

3. If you accidentally vote for a dragon or warm up to another dragon later, you have until December 8th to change your vote.

4. The poll will close on Friday, December 8th at 11.00 PM MST.

5. For the first time under Deca, there are only four new dragons in this event. As a result, players can only vote for two dragons.



Also, in addition to the dragon ratings, I will include player feedback for the event. If you have any comments, suggestions, complaints, or compliments regarding the event structure, mechanisms, features, etc, please post them here, and I’ll pass them on.


Many thanks to everybody who participated — it is greatly appreciated by all!

It's so hard to choose. I love Liveloch's concept, I love Pollenizer's colors and I love Pikeleaf's and Waterwalker's animations.

This time my vote goes toward thy Pikeleaf Dragon. It is an excellent improvement of the Leaf Dragon's design... knew it was missing something all along.

As for the others, my judgment on the reason why I did not vote for the others are as follows:

Waterwalker is merely just a giraffe wearing a lilypad hat, and really isn't a dragon in my eyes. Besides, I overall don't really like nor dislike this dragon.

Liveloch has a beautiful design, but is much too small to thoroughly enjoy. The flaw in its size significantly hinders my liking to the dragon.

Pollenizer is cute and has many vibrant colors, but its humongous flower is obstructive and can be quite obnoxious to look at.

 - EVENT FEEDBACK-

Overall, this event went quite a bit smoother than the last one. I did not provide feedback on Into the Screamhouse since it would have been somewhat of a negative rant, and I don't want to spread that attitude here.

POSITIVES

The pricing this event was in an acceptable range. New and limited dragons had just the right pricing - expensive yet not to the point of being ridiculous.

This event was a lot smaller and shorter than past events. This event was short and sweet and is one of the first in a long time to last less than a month. I would appreciate more events this way, short and sweet with a bit less content within them, potentially allowing for a longer break in between.

Few dragons were released this event, which is nice because it can be difficult keeping up with events which release a high quantity of new dragons and decor.

The addition of Harmonious Habitats to the event market was an unexpected but welcoming change.

SUGGESTIONS

One of the biggest downsides to this event was the lack of creativity. The majority of new content is simply an altered version of a previously released item. The Pikeleaf Dragon and Liveloch Dragon are alterations of previous dragons. The Autumn Pavillion is a recoloration of the Butterfly Pavillion, and the Ancient Tree is similar to the Fairy Treehouse. And let's not get started on the Standing Stone decoration; it is literally a copy/pasted image of the statue on last year's loading screen.

Although the prices were good overall, the Khamsin Dragon and Razortail Dragon were way too expensive.  Players should not need to spend 7,800 EC on a golden hybrid; their permanent status hardly makes them even worth 2,000 EC.

Next year, I would enjoy seeing a return to the Spice event currency. The replacement to Magic last year does not really fit the event.

Thank you Deca for the shorter event. It has been very enjoyable and it was a nice change with a relaxed feel to it. 

As always the dragon eggs were outstanding. I would have like the gnome to be a bit bigger. 1x1 footprint is good, but he is too short and very hard to see.

Would you please consider increasing cloning odds from 1%? It makes any dragon virtually impossible to clone and a player could try for a month of Sundays and still not get the dragon.

When setting breeding combos if a dragon is used that doesn’t generally appear in the event, please remember to add it to the market and make it available to breed.

Could the Race Track be used more often for obtaining currency please? It is a good incentive to use the Race Track and gives an opportunity to race the new dragons and watch their animations. Some of the dragons are too big when using in the Race Track.


Not event related

The themed slot in Dragon Draw expired during the Candy Bash event weeks ago. Will there be a new theme released soon? Galaxy dragons would be a suitable theme as they are difficult to obtain if you have no friends to put them in co-op for you and they are next to impossible to obtain in the rift.

Event Feedback:

I like this being a short and sweet event, without a lot of activities. It is rather relaxing with only 4 new dragons, although the dragon track can be a bit monotonous. 😛 Nevertheless, I like using the dragon track to gather EC, and thank you for including ECs as winning prizes.

While most of us are expecting a harvest/autumn event theme, Deca changed it up to a greenhouse theme, which I actually liked. A pond in front of the greenhouse is very soothing (although Liveloch seems to want to make a splash 😂). I like this round of new dragons, which are more green and watery than the golden harvest types. As with the last few events, the new decos are really nice.

It would be fantastic if the gnome can be a little bigger. Also, can we please have cloning odds higher than 1%?

There were a few hiccups during this event: a leak of the new dragons, the disappearing event bug, the auto-select bug.. Hopefully Deca will take these as teachable moments to develop improvements and fixes for upcoming events. 🙏🙏

Just what I wanted to write! Thanks Ladyj.
Just one little thing: I hate gnomes so mine has the right size....( sorry ladyj!) I put mine behind the pavilion.... and the standing stone is just beautiful ( and has the good size...)

Event feedback:
The dragons this event were really cool and pretty - these are probably my favourite designs in the game! And just going off price alone, they were far more reasonable than last event. Though while I agree short events are nice, if we see more in future, I'd like to see the prices reflect the shorter amount of time to collect event currency. The prices this time around were still okay, and I'm mostly just glad they're not as high as recent events, but given the shorter time to get event currency the prices could have been slightly lower still. Especially Waterwalker, with its very low cloning odds.

Thank you also to everyone who helps post information about events. It's incredibly helpful.

In regards to how many glitches have happened recently, I was wondering whether it is possible for the developers to be testing some sort of beta version of an event before it starts (perhaps during the previous event)? Then they could see if it runs smoothly. Would that be possible? (I have very little knowledge of this so don't know if it is possible or not.) If so, it might be something for DECA to consider doing.

Thanks Deca. I appreciated this nice short event, with four novel attractive dragon additions to the vale. It was straightforward to gain event currency, particularly via growing treats and racing at the Dragontrack. Thanks too for the Spoiler Contest, my first ever win, I was delighted with the generous prize of 100 gems.

As ever, a huge thank you to the Forum team, for all you do to make the DV experience so enjoyable.

Waterwalker even with it having such low ridiculous breeding odds and looking like a dinosaur.
Pollenizer for its animation even though it is more flower than dragon.

[dragonglow]

See comments already posted.

So far I've voted for Pollenizer. Still not sure who else I'll vote for, if anyone.

I want to thank Deca for this low-key event. I needed it. Halloween just has so much going on, as will the Winter event. I was very grateful for this time to breathe. It was also nice to see lower prices. It helped take the edge off that's been building for several events.

The greenhouse theme was a nice change, but I really wish more of the new dragons fit better. I'd have adored another insect-based dragon, or a lizard, or even another bopping bird.

I enjoyed the use of both the farms and racetrack for event currency and was very pleased with the breeding combinations this time around. It felt doable even for early game players. Thanks for adding Kroki! I also liked the pedestals. They were all beautiful and not overdesigned.

My only other gripe is regarding the ad issues that began crashing my game relentlessly. Those issues appear to have ended post-event. I hope they don't return for the next one.

Thanks again for a lovely, calm event.

oops - forgot to mention I'm another vote for the smaller gnome. Admittedly, I'm not a gnome fan, but he fits perfectly as a small visitor-sized deco to go beside all my barrels. He looks like he's gonna get a lot of work done on the crops too!
