My little remembrance of this event. Will have to be revised once Dark arrives.
This made me laugh! Plants dragons and bushes.
Made me laugh too. I'm still bushwhacking having gone shrubbery crazy in the last days of the light race. I may well have to get a memorial too... Perhaps BFS can do us a sculpture? A golden bush... ;D
Much reorganizing today, my first attempt didn't work, l just could not sort out what to do with the epics. Then I thought about doing a light/dark/opposites island, which tidied up some of the odd habitats hanging around several other islands. It's not quite ready yet, as the light habitats are still under construction, but when they are done I'll post a screenshot.
I'm also planning a flexible Seasonal island, which will change according to the season and festivities.
The egg/shrine/nursery island will have to wait a while, but plans are crystallising nicely.
Other islands are fairly similar from before the Rift event. Air/Cold/Moon, Fire/Lightning/Sun, Plant/Water/Oly, Earth/Metal/Apocalypse, Treasure/Rainbow and a functional island for farms and Colluseum complete the 9 islands.
Kindle park1: nearly all dragons are frolicking in their habitats! (A Thorny little problem to resolve...)
Smartphone park2: Geode, a dragon with rocks in! Still to breed 4 dragons...

POTM...even though I didn't do much of that grinding. I was too busy trying to get zombie and other limiteds to breed plant dragons. I also didn't spend much time doing bushes. My preferred method was small plant habitats. I could continue working and just tap the screen several times every minute or so.

I love my vine dragon avatar created by ElektronX. Now, if only BFS would add it to the game...

Busy Friday! Just want to say...Thank you for sharing your new Light islands, and thanks for taking the time to view mine, before the day is over. Looking forward to seeing other's island soon.
What I don't understand is why the bought magic has to be counted within the bucket's maximum, since it's directly fed into the portal. Raising the bucket would seem to allow players to sit on their magic much longer than they would if they were hitting a maximum of 3000.
GCID: rionhow Thanks to ElektronX for my Light Rift avatar!

It is my bad. There is no correlation what so ever between the bought magic and the 7,000 max in the bucket.
Oh no, I think there is a correlation. Back when the cap was 4,000 and the bucket was 3,000, the amount of magic you could buy was limited to how much space there was left in the bucket. So I think the 7,000 max in the bucket is definitely related to the double magic.

They lifted the cap to 4000 from 3000 just before the first double magic weekend, and it stayed since. I guess both are tools to speed up magic gathering

Currently breeding for whatever twins I can possibly get my hands on
Good day all I have not update as yet, I had some personal goals and do not like the new breeding rules. That said I will eventually update and my QUESTION will I be able to play catch up with the light dark new age breeding? Poppy without updating I can not send gems unless I receive first. Thanks mybuster and GTgirl for sending. I send out very few gems to others as my family exchanges but I still have an occasional to send. I am NOW babysitting my grandchildrens DV parks as they are too busy with elementary school. Multiple parks take a lot or effort and I wanted to finish gold shrine and silver. Did the shrine change as well. I miss seeing everyone's parks so thanks for posting pictures. I will probably update end of month. Happy day to all. And thanks for all the knowledge

Well, you've presumably missed out on the free Light Reward Habitat at this point.
Light Rift Dragons might be another story though, as they are still available in the market for purchase at a massive cost of 3650 gems. At present there is no way to breed them other than Light Rift + Light Rift. That may change in the future though. We'll have to wait and see...
Depending on when you update, you may still be able to get in on the Dark Reward Habitat and some Dark Rift Dragons.
No idea how long the Rift Dragons will stick around after the event ends. However, all the other primary and hybrid dragons they have introduced as a result of this event are permanent additions to the game. So you should be able to acquire those at your leisure.
Multiple parks take a lot or effort and I wanted to finish gold shrine and silver. Did the shrine change as well.
They did. There's really not much need for them any longer, as max dragon level is now tied to your park level. You can, in theory, Crown your first dragon the day you reach level 20.
There are goals associated with obtaining Gold and Silver shrines, but other than that they are most just expensive decorations now.

Are the breeding rules actually dependent on the version of the app on your device? I would have thought they were driven from the server side. If it's device driven, I might have to pull out my iPhone 4 for breeding; it hasn't been updated in eons since I changed phones. At least it might let me get a few missing display eggs more quickly.

Breeding Substitutes are part of the rules. It is certainly possible that old versions of the game are using an old rule set. This would mean no new dragons, inc Light and Dark. I don't know if you could access your game from the old version as you have new content which it wouldn't know how to handle. Let us know how you get on.

I would strongly advise against trying to game the system like that.
Not because of any moral objection mind you, but because doing it can erase things.
I lost my Storage Tower once because I purchased it on my phone, which was up to date with ver 1.14. Then I logged in on my tablet which had not been updated yet and was still running 1.13.
The system didn't know what the Storage Tower was, as there was no code for it in 1.13.

No dice, for what it's worth. Internal error on the loading screen, which then reloads and does the same thing, over and over. Tried with my little park, rather than the main one, but the single rift dragon on that account was likely enough to throw it off.
The version is from January, so it was probably too much to hope for. The phone is jailbroken, though it's currently running a stock version of the app. Might be interesting to see if it would run an older version that wasn't quite as old, and what it would do.
But eh, I'm not sure I'm curious enough for all that. It could have been useful, but I can live with the new rules.

So it just deleted it completely from my park
Ouch!
You'd think they'd have some sort of safeguard against that sort of thing, but then again, I'm sure they'd say it was our fault for not updating. That sort of thing was another reason I tried it on the small park; not much to lose there.
That phone is still on iOS 5.1 as well, so it's very out of date at this point, which might be another factor. But honestly? As much as I dislike the fact that they changed the rules after two years of gameplay, well, I've already learned to live with it, mostly. If a choice had to be made on either the Rift event or keeping the old breeding rules, I wouldn't have chosen to stick with the old version for more than a few days (just long enough to breed a couple of missing display eggs!)

I have been visiting several islands to see how they have dealt with the new Light habitats. I noted that several old friends have totally stopped playing DV : .ilUli, Liquid Courage, 250Strong. The two last ones are listed as moderators here.

I don't think their absence is related to the update as they've been inactive for quite some time.
