Everything was also normal in my park...normal reset as well, though my event ship card might have reset, though I can't say for sure it just didn't expire naturally, lol.
I have 20b dc that I wish I could trade for e. I leveled all rifties to 16 and up using all e and treats. But 1,800,000 x 4 to get from level 16 to 17 is just too much. At that price even if I spent all 20b on treats, it wouldn’t level many dragons. But I don’t have anything left to spend and nothing to look forward to. Boy am I going to miss my dragons.

Extra gems etc here too with an 11pm nzdst change and then another later on... But soooo many crashes, I’d almost forgotten what they’re like; I think that is what is going to help me wave my hankie goodbye to DV when they turn out the lights, it all takes soooo much time now with loading delays, breeding loading delays, arena loading delays, races blah blah... I reckon I’m going to suddenly have about 4 extra hours 😄😄😄😄
heh heh, it reminds me of the old ‘dial up’ internet days, when you could make a cuppa while your connection was made, I actually read a book while waiting for the various loadings 😈

I had an iOS update that I wasn’t aware of on my iPad. Did that and the crashing stopped for me.

I'm hoping to find the calculations that Fletch had 'fleshed' out when the boosts were, say for example, +30% on Water dragons, but -30% for the same island's inhabitants of Lightning dragons, even if harbored in separate habitats on that same island. I think it was a line-by-line item list that was created in origin as a post and appeared in one of the later threads 'Maximizing Your Park GC Strategies' or the like. I think maybe I saw it worked up in an Excel sheet later on or just wishful thinking! When I returned after 2yrs I was surprised to see how poorly my Panlongs, etc were performing & recall seeing a more complex formula was worked out, taking in to account all of the newer hybrid combos & how the old calculations by BF were obsolete. If, memory serves me correctly, I believe he had suggested the Air boost be placed on one's Metal Island, maybe Plant & Fire boosts were on Earth islands and/or boosts. Would someone be as so kind to send me in the right direction if a link or PDF does exist, please. Thanks in advance.
Update to the above post~ I found the old formula finally in the library. It was a little hard to find because it was labeled as having been moved. The old one is: proboards.com/post/4223 but does anyone know where the updated PDF or link went? Maybe it was Poppy's or another mod's but, I don't see it under the Elemental Boosts thread.

As far as I remember, there is no penalty for Boosts now, so the strategy would be to put the boost with the most number of those dragons (metal with metal dragons).
Has anyone bought The Art of DragonVale book? Do you think it is worth buying and is it of good quality?
I am still in denial about losing this game. I think if I don’t believe it then it won’t happen. 💔😢
I received the book today Nov.5 and I am pleased with it. 😊 Not a large size and great pictures.👍 Book is 8 1/2 inches horizontal and 7 inches vertically. Is about 17 1/2 across when open. Has 203 pages and the 202 and 203 pages has the names of the Back Flip people. The text is easy to read. The price has gone up by $2 since I ordered my book. Saw the book on eBay and they wanted $41.95. I ordered from Amazon----cost less. It also has Dragonvale World dragons in the back half of the book. This will be something I will keep as a memory of my dragons and the wonderful people I have come to know on the forum.🐨🌈 Book was put out Dec. 19,1916 if I am remembering correctly.

Thanks for the review Dragonglow. Sounds like it’s worthwhile having. I am going to have to shout myself an early Christmas present now.🐉
I’ve been testing the disappearance and crashes of Tolzar’s ads at the Colosseum, Treasure/Market, and Optical Oracle for several weeks with an iPhone 8 (2GB RAM) in low resolution mode and an iPad Pro (6GB RAM). Here are the conclusions I’ve come to.
SPONSOR GEM (MARKET AD)
The Sponsor Gem will appear at the same time the Oracle appears, but you’ll still need to wait 30-60 seconds so it’s ready to play.
Similar to the Colosseum, if you receive the 'Oops!' message, you will not receive a second chance to watch the ad.
COLOSSEUM
There are two reasons why the Colosseum ad is not offered:
1. The ad is not ready, so the 'Oops!' message displays
If Tolzar’s Optical Oracle is visible in your park, it is a good indication the Colosseum ad is almost ready. Therefore, do not watch all the Oracle ads (because the Oracle will disappear) until you’ve completed the Colosseum.
Due to more recent lags in the game, after the Oracle appears, you will still need to wait 30-60 seconds before completing the Colosseum, or the Colosseum ad may not play.
2. You’ve been in the game for too long before collecting from the Colosseum
If you play DV for more than a couple minutes, it’ll eat up all the memory so there won’t be enough to run the Colosseum ad ('Oops!' message) or the ad will crash when played.
To avoid the two above pitfalls, and ensure the ad plays, when the Colosseum is ready, follow these steps:
a) Force close the game, wait a minute, reopen (this will ensure you have a fresh session and enough memory).
b) Wait for Tolzar’s Optical Oracle to appear in a puff of blue pixie dust (could take a minute or two). Do not engage in other game activities like moving around your park, collecting from habitats, clicking on buttons, etc (this will drain your device’s memory).
c) After the Oracle appears, wait 30-60 seconds.
d) Complete the Colosseum.
e) If the ad does not show, or you receive the 'Oops!' message, increase your wait time by 30 seconds.
I have taken the above steps for the last 14 days and the Colosseum ad has successfully played for extra gems and DC on a 2GB iPhone 8 (in low resolution mode) and a 6GB iPad Pro.
Note: if you’re on a device with 2GB RAM or less, and DV constantly crashes when you’re trying to watch the Colosseum ad (or any ad), the only solution is to switch to low resolution mode. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, unfortunately, you’ll need to upgrade your device.
Edited on 2 April 2020
NEW CHANGES 1. The 'Tolzar Turned the Wrong Dial! Oops!' pop-up message does not always display. Frequently, the Colosseum ad is simply not offered. 2. As my park has grown, it now takes longer for Tolzar’s Optical Oracle to appear. On an iPad Pro (6GB RAM) it now takes over a minute and about 1.5 minutes on an iPhone 8 (2GB RAM). 3. The larger your park, the shorter your game session is allowed before the Colosseum ad isn’t offered or crashes.
Edited on 15 January 2021
UPDATE iOS 14 removed the advertising ID. The ad identifier can no longer be reset. You can only turn off Personalised Ads.
Edited on 25 May 2021
UPDATES AND MAJOR EDITS 1. Updated and added more wait times before watching ads, since extra time is now required with the game and parks growing. 2. Removed the first section of the post regarding the Sponsor Gem and resetting the Advertising Identifier, as it’s no longer relevant to the ad issues.

Since I began DV again (just over 2 mos. or so) I can't receive any of Tolzar's rewards, both in the previous event & the current Candy Bash. All of the college & 'new disability benefits' ads rotate my screen, show the ad tag at the bottom & remain in a black screen whereas two results then occur: it stays stuck, never loading the ad further OR it crashes. Either way, I have to unload the app, go to PlayStore or Appsore (I play both environments but, Apple has other problems too numerous to name other than what others describe w/ long load times.) I skip these bonuses, unfortunately, for the most part, but it is hard to do so from the chest that rewards flowers, for example, as they can be forced to even collect just the daily from this or visions that automatically load. An example of this would be the Colosseum, which I think someone already described. The only exception has been if the frog loads up that says "Seeking Visions" which immediately returns me to play & I'll get the bonus or the Airship, etc remains as if I hadn't tried. As I said, I try to avoid as the last install from Play Store took 2 1/2 days. So, the malfunction definitely leaves trace packets where my devices will still think I have the app. It causes more than crashes for me & yes, I've tried BF's solutions like ending the app w/ Stop, memory clear, restarting app and/or device. I feel a little silly mentioning now, but it has been a bone of contention & never happens w/ other apps. I doubt I'll miss that but am still hopeful someone will continue DV with Egames, for example.

There is still support at BF your may want to email they and see if they can help. This summer Tolzar's copter disappeared from my game so I emailed BF. It took a while but they did get it restored. Small to what you are experiencing but you could try.

I sent about an email to support today on a problem in Dragonvale World. Here's what I got back:
"We are sorry to announce that DragonVale World will no longer be supported, and in-app purchases will no longer be available starting Nov. 20th, 2019.

This is shocking to me as people on forums still buy gems for that game and they are not updating it. So...little work for returns. I guess it isn’t enough to keep the servers up but if there is NO official message that goes out to players that is truly upsetting.

Scrooge lives on through Hasbro. Bah humbug and Merry Christmas! This is how the large corporations do business and really don't care about the individual people or players. Sad but true!!!! Enjoy your Dragonvale and your dragons every moment you still have it & them.

If you log into DV World, which I did today to see it one last time, there's an in game message with the same information. Game is shutting down, and its missing from the app store already. I would think they would rather just let it run and collect the occasional in app purchase. This gives me some fear that the same fate will hit DV next year.
