Ah bless you adlerist lol And the truly scary thing is, I’m only contemplating upgrading due to increasing glitches with iCal and syncing between devices...😄 My techy now talks TO ME IN CAPS he’s pulled all available hair out, I think 😂 and the seller geek at a local Apple retailer store, where I wondered if I would have to buy another iPad (🤣) almost stood me in the corner while saying loudly that I DIDNT NEED A NEW DEVICE JUST KEEP IT UPDATED 😄😄😄😂😂😂🤪
So I’m planning to capitulate...😱😱😱😱 AFTER the end of the event 😈

This geekette has to add her 2 cents... Before upgrading the iOS, do an iCloud backup, which you should be doing regularly anyway. Do one right before to be on the safe side.
I was at my sisters and thought I’d update my iPad while I had faster and safer internet than I’d been getting at the library. I was in such a rush that I didn’t do the iCloud backup. When I tried to update my iPad it completely crashed on me. To restore it required plugging the iPad into a computer with my iTunes account on it. I plugged it in only to find out my MacBook also needed an OS update, two of them. The MacBook was that far behind. It was an all day, hair pulling, wanting to scream, needing more coffee, ordeal! As a geek I knew better. In my defense, I had no internet for 9 months. The MacBook was so far behind because it was used only to watch dvd movies and had no internet for a couple of years at least. Since I didn’t do a backup first, (no internet meant no automatic backups) I lost tons of stuff. I had to do all the updates at the library I was trying to avoid in the first place.😅🤦♀️ I don’t blame you a bit for waiting until after the event.

I can’t imagine not updating a device that I use daily, for three years 😀. That’s an extreme act of patience! The only problem, as your tech and the Apple dude pointed out, is it causes far more problems if you don’t update.
I believe DV requires iOS 9, so you can still run it, but that could change with the next app update. If your device is having syncing issues or other problems due to iOS 11, go ahead and update now (maybe it’ll clear up some of the glitches you’re having with the forum). I’m on the latest version and don’t have any problems with DV (or the forum), and I haven’t heard any complaints here or from the Game Rep’s DV communities about iOS issues. DV runs splendidly on iOS 13.5.1, probably better than on iOS 11.4.1.
I can hear your iPad clicking and calling your name — it’s a fine day for a happy update!
Omword Dreamn, what an ordeal! And excellent ‘one trial learning’ event I would imagine 😄 Yep the iCloud update is the ONLY auto update I have running on all 3 devices (no control issues here 😈😈😈) So after this event, the iPad gets a makeover
I can prob take a deep breath and do the iPhone ...soon... 😱
In response to the ongoing complaints and confusion with the incorrect limited dragon timers in the News section, Deca will remove the News timers until two days before the dragon expires (and the Last Call announcement is released). The News timers are accurate and in sync with the Market and breeding hint timers two days prior to the dragon leaving, so all timers within the game will be correct.
Thank you to everyone who contacted Deca, thank you to wapatango for posting and messaging me about this issue, thank you to the Game Reps for your input and insight, and thank you to Deca for hearing us and taking swift action. It is a great day (and we still have dragons to come).
PSA: if you’ve friended DragonVale players through Facebook, they may be missing from your Friends list.
This issue was discovered and has been reported to Deca by CalliAlli. It’s affecting a large number of players who have Facebook DV friends. Hopefully, the glitch will be resolved soon. Will keep everyone updated if there’s any Deca statements.
I wonder if anyone has ever had the problem where they lost some friends. I've had it happen that I have somehow fallen out of facebook and lost those friends and only had my friends from here, but all I had to do was logout and log back in to facebook from Dragonvale and my friends were back. Now nothing I do seems to help. I checked a couple of friends to make sure I was still friends with them on facebook and I am and they still send me gifts but I don't have them on my friends list and their color is muted when they appear on my gifts page and I am unable to return their gifts. So to be clear, this has only happened to some friends and while we are still friends and they can send me gifts they are no longer in my friends list when I go to the friends tab and when they send me gifts they are muted out and I can't return any gifts to them. Has anyone had this happen? Any idea how to fix it?

I noticed I was logged out of Facebook, so perhaps it was to refresh with a link/permission for Deca to grab Facebook data?

This could be the issue. It’s definitely on Deca’s end and needs to be fixed by them.
For all who are affected, unfortunately there’s nothing players can do but wait until Deca addresses the problem. I will let you know as soon as I hear from them.

Lost a long time Game Center friend a while ago. I kept getting gifts from her but I couldn’t reciprocate cause she vanished. I tried sending messages to her but she wasn’t a forum member here.

Anyone know why DV/BFS dumped Game Center?
Game Center is still working but the only way to add friends in GC is to have them in your contacts.

I think some of my Facebook friends are missing as well. The list is shorter when I send out my daily gems. And not only that, the game is acting like I already sent gems to certain people even though I sent them yesterday before reset.
I'm sorry if I miss anyone. I have a fair amount of friends, and while I normally cycle through every couple of days to make sure the usual amount of people get gems, I can't help noticing that some of them are missing. 😟
We share our physical lives with those in spirit. For life, like love, never dies. Love knows no limits, not even death.
I noticed this as well. But it seems like mostly it’s players missing that have not played since before deca took over. (This is what I think, not a 100% certainty.) Maybe some kind of cleaning action happened because those players obviously did not yet agree with the new deca privacy policies?)
At least I can still see the accounts of people I exchange gems with. (And not only the ones that use the in-game connect.) I hope this is the case for everyone, but reading DragonMoonX quote, it might not be.

I’ve read about the glitch, so that’s definitely part of the problem right now I guess.
Also: if a facebook friend has multiple parks on the same Facebook account I’ve noticed you can’t reciprocate a gift to the park it was given from (park A) if the player is in the other park (Park B) at the time you try to gift (or has exited the game after playing in Park B). You can however still find Park B in the friends list and gift to that one, but usually players will want return gifts back to Park A.

Contacts? Like my iPhone/iPad Contacts?
Yes, phone, iPad, tablet contacts. That’s to add new Game Center players. The old ones are still in your Game Center friends list unless you’ve deleted them.

...or they simply disappeared 🤷
It’s possible they’ve deleted you or even Game Center itself. Perhaps thinking Game Center isn’t worth it anymore or ...?
