PSA: Deca posted an update regarding their status with the current pandemic.
This was only posted on Discord, so far it has not been on Reddit.
Replies will understandably be slower. In case anyone was wondering, I haven’t heard back about the confirmation of the last day of the event and when the Prize Pavilion will close.
Stay safe everyone. And if you start feeling bored and locked away indoors, please come here for a good natter/chatter. You are never alone.
May I make a suggestion? {I’m sure I just heard someone say yes.}. In the encyclopedia thread, you have a list of limited dragons with breeding requirements. Next to the epics you have their epic type and the hidden elements they contribute in breeding in brackets. However, I don’t see anywhere that it explains what that means. When I saw {aura:PA?} I was very confused for a while. (I don’t have the lambda symbol on the keyboards I have on my iPad). It might be helpful at the bottom of those posts to explain what that information means. {dragon’s element: hidden elements contributed for breeding purposes are represented by first letter except for light, which uses the Greek letter lambda}. Although I figured it out, having that key might make it faster and easier for newer players.

This is an excellent suggestion! There was some discussion about what letter/symbol should be used for Light, since 'L' represented Lightning. Arkynos suggested the lower-case lambda 'λ', and this is how it became incorporated. But I completely agree, there’s no indication of what the brackets, letters, or λ are trying to tell the reader. I like the idea of a key for the symbols and letters.
I don’t know why but for me DECA is giving off the whole ‘substitute teacher’ vibe. With that in mind, do you think we could convince DECA that for one weekend out of every month BFS used to put Mystery Eggs on sale for half price?

Or how about we remind them of Twin Thursday where every breed in the coop cave is a twin. 😉
Set my park to Dusk/Rain themes to reflect the current weather here. I logged in later and the setting reverted to the Confetti/Day thems. We cant set themes like we used to be? Or am I missing something?
Some friends touch your heart in a way that you can never erase.
Is it normal for a dragon to come back so soon after it just left? (Lapis)
Lapis has a history of coming back just after it leaves the market. I remember it well. When Lapis first came out, it didn't like me, I had more trouble breeding it. It took a long time to get it, then another while to get the egg, but the 2nd dragon was the worst. I bred 150 times for it, I got 34 Crystals and 17 Olys among the fails. I know how many, because I saved all the fails and counted at the end before selling them. I had so much going on at that time in RL, and was so frustrated, that I decided that if I didn't get it before the end of the week, I was quitting the game and going on to other things. I gave it my best shot and spent over 200 gems trying for it. Well, it left the market (I think it was on a Thursday), I said good-bye on the forum (the hardest part of leaving), and quit the game. The verynext day, it came back in a collection comeback. My son took my device and bred for it. He got it first try. I did end up coming back, because I had gotten it before the end of the week, and my husband quit when I did, and he really didn't want to quit.
Has anyone else noticed that when timers in the social menu run out, we get a last call, and the timer changes to two days? Celtic was leaving before blazing, now blazing ‘leaves’ tomorrow and Celtic has two days left.

I noticed the same thing and wondered if DECA looks at it like an event, when the dragon is no longer available to be bred, you still have the option to buy it in the market for 2 days. I will still be trying for it in the rift on the assumption that it is still available to be bred, but I did have that thought, so thought I would share it to see what others think. If anyone succeeds in getting it, please let the rest of us know.

How ever did I forget that one?
Just make sure no one tells them that the jelly plants and other inexpensive treats are only supposed to be available during the Om of Noms. I was thankful BFS didn’t take them away. I’ve enjoyed being able to get so many treats for so little dragoncash.

This is a returning glitch from Jolly Jubilee. It’s been a very, very long time since we’ve been able to use the Twilight Tower and Weather Station. In my last email to Deca, I requested they fix the issue so the Twilight Tower is never overridden by the event theme. Deca said they’d look into it. So hopefully (please!) this doesn’t occur with the next event. Because not only does it render the Twilight Tower useless, it also makes it more difficult for players to breed a dragon that requires nighttime.

My secondary park bred Celtic. I’m not sure if that’s the dragon you’re referring to or not. Blazing is permanent, so it must be Celtic. Since Celtic has a 17 hour breeding time, my park bred Celtic yesterday. It’s incubating now and has 8 hours left in Gaia’s nest (with the 25% incubation reduction — Gaia at max level).

Just looking at when dragons leave, I noticed that there is sometimes a difference in time between the timers in the social menu and the timers in the market. According to the social menu, Equinox has 3+ hours, but according to the market, it has 2 days, 3+ hours. However, for Celtic which had a last call, the times are the same. So maybe the timer in the social menu is for the last call.

Thank you, and yes, I was referring to Celtic. It is nice to know that I am not wasting my time trying for it in the rift. Although I have Celtic in both main parks, I haven't been able to get it in the rift in either park. It also tells me I still have time to hopefully get Equinox in my baby park.

Oops, by blazing I meant equinox. I’ve been trying to get rift versions of Celtic and equinox without any success in my main park. I got a rift Celtic in my little park, but I haven’t been able to get equinox in either the rift or the breeding cave. Although the social menu timer for equinox runs out at 1:00, the market timer says 2 days, so I should have 2 days left to try.

Oh, I see what you’re saying, thank you for clarifying that for me! It looks like Deca fixed the problem. Celtic and Equinox are both showing their correct availability times in the Social menu and the Market. Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy!

Celtic and blazing match because for both dragons the last call has now gone out. However, if you look at any other limiteds: clover, hooded, quartz, spring, etc, the market timer has two extra days compared to the social menu timer. Thanks for reminding me that Celtic is still available, though. I was thinking yesterday was the last day. I’m glad to have a few more chances to try for a rift version.

Plus, the default Day theme is the worst.
I agree that this is an annoying problem that hopefully DECA can fix soon or by the next event (Easter?)
Do DECA know that this has been happening for months, well before they took DV over?
