Yes when you have all normal dragons you get twins, but it’s not guaranteed anymore that you won’t get a twin you don’t have. It’s logical that once you have all twins you will get a rift but I’m not there yet. 48 twins and 42 rifts to go.

Looking for party hat friends. Pm me for Facebook Id.
Has anyone else been enjoying the trippy hourglasses?
It doesn't happen every time, but it's super cool when it does. Tons of hourglasses will swirl around the icon for an extended period of time. I like it. Guess it's probably a minor glitch ... but an awesome minor glitch!

Um, just what ARE you putting on your cornflakes althea? 😜😈
For those interested, the expert consult on what's going on with my uneven efforts to friend via the dreaded FB; My now v old ( according to technician) iOS (9 series) has become an issue when trying to friend valers who are on iOS 11 series, aggravated by FB constantly upgrading its iterations ( apparently for security reasons) While those on more current iOS levels can friend 'downwards' ( ie slum it!) with me, I cannot reliably friend upwards The issue is upgraded FB and upgraded iOS not linking well with old iOS even tho I have downloaded the current FB iteration ( hence, I'm guessing, fridaytheparrot and I can't connect from my end, but ftp can 'see' me) Other new links who are on older, but more current than mine, iOS or android iterations I can connect with via the friends lists in game, not via the gifts list ( ie shanda2lee and geojenn) Existing gcid friends who upgrade are not problematic as it's all occurring inside the game.
Hopefully that's comprehensible. So, shanda2lee you're brilliant, cos I think that's effectively where you got to with logic and intuition 🤗🤗🤗
Techy said I 'should' not lose existing gcid friends, if I upgrade to iOS 11, but said there is no way, other than emailing BFS and asking them to do a special save of my game, to ensure I wouldn't lose gcid friends on upgrade... So that decision is still hovering...
Unfortunately, yes. ios 9 is starting to be non-supported. I was on 10.2 until Friday. Had a ringing problem and the first solution was to try upgrading to 11. It was VERY painful -- kept not working, But I got the restore to work JUST before I gave up and started over from scratch.

haha it happens to me on my secondary park (my primary has a maxed out Kairos) and I like it too. One of those glitches that I don't care of it gets fixed anytime soon because it's entertaining.

I'm starting to get nervous about the iOS9 thing, in general. My only device is an iPad3, which cannot be upgraded past 9. And I'm poor, so no new device is on the horizon, at least not any time in the next year. I haven't been able to download a couple games I've been interested in, which is a bummer, but they were mostly ones with super fancy graphics (like DV World). So, I understand. But, a couple days ago I tried to get a new Snoopy bubble popping game and couldn't download it. Not compatible with my device. A *bubble popping* game. That ain't fancy!😭 I'm so worried it won't be much longer until my beloved older games like DV and Smurfs' Village have no choice but to drop support for devices that maxed out at iOS9. I usually dislike the iOS updates anyways, so hoped I could just be happy sitting here forever with 9 (and still wishing I could revert back to iOS7). Arg.

Ooo sympathies. Interesting how little Apple care about the increasing proportion of the global pop who simply cannot afford to keep buying new tech in order to use the current software which they then require us to use by ceasing to support the prior iterations, although having watched the Jobs movie last night (previously read the book so not sure how much liberty the movie took with facts) reminded me that the ethos was always 'sell sell sell' not serve or support... The early products delighted me so much I forgot that ruthless side of the genius. I guess it's time to call in the birthday and other gifts, and ask the Gods of the Vale for unforeseen cheques to arrive in the letterbox! You are so wonderfully positive all the time, I have fingers and toes crossed for you ( which will make walking the dog in a moment, somewhat difficult...)
sudden thought, second hand iPads after other folk have upgraded? 🐨🐨🐨🐨 althea 🌻🌻

Hey guys, I’m not here very often these days, so I’m not sure the problem I’ve just developed is happening to anybody else. I looked back a week or so and I see some folks are apparently having gifting and friending problems as usual, but nothing like this. I lost about a third of my Game Center friends overnight. They’ve just disappeared from my Friends tab. Several of them are still in my Gifts tab, waiting for me to return pending gifts, but the gifting buttons are disabled. This includes some of my daily friends as well
Is anybody else seeing this?

YES, this has happened to me also! Three of my regulars - Arkynos , Bunny* Mom, and MayTroi - are no longer in my friends list. 😥 Luckily they are still in my Gifts tab because I have not collected their gifts but as you say gifting buttons disabled. VERY WEIRD! Sorry you three, I hope you see this post as I was only able to tag Arkynos . Hey Arkynos , am I showing up in your friends’ list or is this mutual destruction on BFS’ part? Since it started with Doubles Weekend, hopefully it will disappear afterwards. No excuse for BFS not prioritizing an in-game friending mechanism, they have had plenty of time. Sick of corporations trying to force Facebook down our throats.
Cyn Situation is normal here, friends list 100% intact. Very odd. I don't have any idea why this could be happening, but in case there's a common link I'm on iOS 11.2.2, and connected by both GCID and Facebook. 🤷♂️

I suspect this is entropy in Apple’s GameCenter which they don’t really want to support except in a legacy way for a while. I fear it will only get worse. As you say, the best solution would be for BFS to create their own mechanism; if I were in charge of their development I’d want something under my own control, and there are simple code-exchange solutions that don’t require the loss of anonymity that FB does.
I share your hope that it will fix itself with the end of doubles, but I’m not holding my breath!

Erratically losing then regaining friends ( prior gcid friends) over the past four or five days, logging out and in of DV fixes it for me ( so far).
I trust everyone IS still sending emails re Ingame friending request desired, to BFS at regular intervals? I'm doing it monthly, should prob up it to fortnightly, To date getting no replies :/

Since I don’t have Auto Update engaged I thought great, I’ll just update to 11.2.2 and it will be fixed. NOPE! After updating I am still missing more than half of the players on my friends list. I am terrified of signing out of GameCenter to sign back in because 1: Not sure of my password and 2: What if I lose the rest of my friends? NO EXCUSE FOR THIS BFS! I will not be herded into Facebook just to satisfy some corporate need for LIKES.

I have exactly 5 GC friends who play DV, lol. In fact, one those 5 is how I found out about DV in the first place. All my GC friends were added for another game I play, and out of a 100 or so, only 6 ever actively played DV, though lots downloaded it, so I have places to party hat, but not co-op breeding. I found this forum just as they were doing away with GC, so I had not had time to get to know anyone yet. Out of these two games, I would have bet large amounts of money that BFS would have been first to do in-game friending, but noooooo, the other game had it within a very short time. It works very well...everyone has a player ID, separate from your game ID, and if you give that player ID to someone they can send a request. Easy peasy. Not sure why BFS wouldn't want to do that...it would make so many people happy. 🤷♀️😳

I just lost a huge portion of my friends too - all Game Center. It's really sad, because a lot of my daily gem/treat gift friends were/are connected via Game Center. I'm really disappointed by this. I have friends through Facebook, but it's not like I can message the Game Center friends to add me on Facebook... and I don't know their real names either. It really woulda been nice to even get a warning before this happened. I've been purposefully not updating my phone's iOS to prevent exactly this. 😔 Sigh 😔
Hi all. I have noticed a lot of you are losing friends which also happened to me yesterday.
The only thing I had done was turn Game Center off in Settings/iCloud/apps using iCloud on my iPad, Once I turned this back on my friends came back. Not sure why Game Center now uses icloud as I have always said no! My iPad Air is on V 11.0.1.
I also tested this on my iPhone (6s - V 11.1.2) and the same thing happened.
Think i will try that, some of my friends have gone missing too.
On a more happy note I also have a fire breathing Dragonarium For the first time ever.
Happy dance round office.
