That's how I understood what was happening too, but since Deca posted that they were no longer changing the time, I'm confused as to why my reset time was originally changing with DST, and now still is.

I think your reset changed with DST because your DST was at a different date than BFS/Deca. There would've been a date some time around then that Deca hit DST and adjusted for it but that got confusing. They no longer adjust for DST - if you have DST, your reset time will change, but the underlying time will not.

Okay, I think I sort of understand now. Thanks!

While we're discussing daylight saving time, Germany bounced into DST on 31 March. The Forum clock needs to go forward 1 hour. The days are going to be longer and the curtains and carpet will fade. 😉


kaleni#0146 When Deca were changing the game daylight saving time it was when it occurred in the US. If your game time has changed recently, the area you live in has had an adjustment for daylight saving. The last daylight saving time in the US was 10 March - the game didn't change time then. 😊

Don’t forget to use your Doubles Day RBC.

Don't forget about the Guess the DV Things contest! The current game is here and a clue is here. At the moment it's just a few people guessing, it would be nice to have some more guessers to spice things up a bit. 😊

The Forum’s clock has been adjusted to match Deca’s time in Germany. Cheers for the reminder!

LadyJ is correct! The wizards pop up in the Picnic Table decoration! Identical to the event island deco, you have to tap the Picnic Table for the wizards to show, and then they quickly disappear. They’re slightly larger than the visitors, who look like they could join the wizards for brunch. The Picnic Blanket has no animation, but everything on it looks delicious!

On the event island, I really like how the empty picnic table populates when you click on it.

In the Budding Hut (challenge area) both Blumi and Kaleni are sharing the same dragon (Wolper). Could we ask that one of them changes to another event dragon please?

I wonder if the picnic table deco will have the same animation. It would be awesome!
Love the picnic blanket too.

This is such a cool decoration. Deca have really been outdoing themselves recently. In Flower Festival Flowerworks was an oustanding decoration. 😊

Tip for Blue Fire Twin Dragon hunters.  If you need a twin of a gemstone or crystalline dragon that is currently available, breed it in the Runic Caves. A much better option than spending Etherium on Gem Eggs of Mystery, hoping that you'll receive one in your Daily Reward or trying your luck at Dragon Draw. 😊 

Currently available gemstone and crystalline dragons are: Diamond, Quartz and Lapis. 💎

[kaleni#0146]

I love the loading messages, they're good fun! And I like that Deca's willing to poke a bit of fun at themselves.

Do we know whether any of them will be kept after Dargon leaves? It would be nice for a change, my Mud dragons are getting tired of me gifting them clean carpets for their birthday. 😆

Thanks MinyaZ, good tip to share. I realised this a few days ago, just after Aquamarine (which I need to twin) departed. I actually already have twin Diamond, Quartz and Lapis but need several others. But I now have the tip firmly imprinted on my brain for the next Runic event.

I love this one!

“A Sunday on La Grande Jatte” lol! I don’t know we if we have any art history fans, but this is hilarious. DV’s version of the famous Seurat painting.

This spring, Kaleni was determined to hold the most delectable picnic for all the Vale residents. But first, he needed a location. He checked Krollsmarsh, but it was too swampy. Crane Forest was having a heatwave, and the Verulean Highlands were too rocky and cold. As he stepped into the Forests of Farn its lushness overwhelmed. He placed his picnic basket on a nearby rock, but it toppled over as the rock gently moved. Kaleni recognised his old friend, MOSSER. 'A rolling stone gathers no moss', chuckled Kaleni. 'That is why I rock, but never roll', laughed Mosser ever so slowly.

Mosser is in the co-op gathering moss! Koalamoss to all!

The only thing better than bunnies and eggs is butterflies and eggs. Fill your picnic basket with as many Chrysalis eggs as you can, and you could win some fancy prizes for your mini profile and enter the Scavenger Hunt Hall of Fame!

I saw the in-game announcement and instantly knew which combo it would be! I managed to get it traited after about 10 tries so I'm currently trying to get a pedestal. It's a really gorgeous dragon!

[adlerist]

Baby Mosser with a cold trait. So precious with its little tooth. Best dragon at the picnic!

[Arceus]

Mosser is a great addition to the event. However, she looks slightly depressed. Perhaps we can find a way to cheer her up?

[imnachokitty]

How do you get Hedera in the rift? Do you have to get it as a gift?
