grandpakenny is referring to the fact that Tolzar’s Optical Oracle must be present in your park for the Colosseum ad to be offered. If you have a large park or a device with less RAM, it can take a couple minutes for the Oracle to appear. Since the Oracle is an indicator of whether you’ll receive an ad from the Colosseum, players won’t watch the Oracle ads until they’ve completed the Colosseum.
Thanks for that. Just the way he was saying "They have changed something." led me to believe that it was something that had changed in the game. I will try and login and immediately collect the Colosseum to see if that changes anything.

If you complete the Colosseum before the Oracle appears in your park, you won’t be offered an ad. That’s all that happens. There also won’t be a 'Sponsor Gems' ad to watch in the Market. Sometimes you can still catch an ad if the Oracle is just about to appear. But it’s best to just wait until the Oracle arrives and is visible in your park.

Oh I've had that. I click on the "You have discounts." message, and it takes me to an empty page in the Treasure section. This must be when everything hasn't loaded.
So he just has to wait a bit? Is that the upshot? It's nothing changed on Deca's end?
...Tolzar’s Optical Oracle must be present in your park for the Colosseum ad to be offered.
Sorry to nitpick, but this is not completely accurate. The presence of Sponsor Gems in the Treasure section of the Market (which you can get to directly by tapping on your gems on the main game screen) is also an indicator that a Colosseum ad will be offered. I do it this way all the time and it always works. I collect from the Colosseum at the end of the day, the last time I play DV before going to bed, and I’ve generally done all of my Tolzar collections before that. Since I seem to get one Sponsor Gem each day, I just make sure to check for it before collecting from the Colosseum and then collect the gem itself afterwards.
To be clear, I’m not disputing that Tolzar is an accurate indicator. Just saying that the Sponsor Gems are also an indicator. Check it out, if you like. 🙂

Hmm. I’m up too late and went back into DV and just noticed I received a second Sponsor Gem. Have I been missing out on a second Daily Sponsor Gem all this time? That’s disconcerting. That adds up to a lot of gems over time...

I can't quite tell if you're being sarcastic, but no.
I'm missing one last galaxy, arcturian, but was blessed with a rigel mystery egg early on. Is rigel cloneable by breeding two of them (while still missing arc?)
If I can't clone it, the second rigel egg in my gifts should probably become a pedestal.

Yes, I just mentioned the Sponsor Gems in my reply above:

The Oracle, Market gem, and Colosseum ads are all linked. The sentence you quoted was in reference to the fact that players will wait to watch Oracle ads because the Oracle’s presence indicates the Colosseum ad is loaded and will play. You’re the only player I’ve heard from who uses the Market ad as an indicator. It’s not easily visible, and requires repeated clicks to check if the ad is available, so the Oracle is preferred.

How about the ad that gets you another Chest from the Vault Dragon? And the ads that can speed up breeding and incubating?
They will still show and play before the Oracle has loaded or reloaded. You may get the googly-eyed glasses frog, which will allow you to skip the ad and still receive the reward (because the ad hasn’t had time to load/reload), but the option to watch the ads are still visible and available, unlike the Market and Colosseum.
Hello! I have an age old issue with the coliseum. It's easy enough to make sure you get to option to watch an AD, but 1/9 times, there's just a black screen.
Everything's fine otherwise. The best prevention is to watch one Tolzar vision, then do the Coli. This has worked so far, but might be a coincidence. Anyway, does anyone know what causes this?
Sometimes I'm in a hurry and managing that every time is really annoying.

Sorry, I didn’t see your mention of the Sponsor Gems. That’s what I get for only focusing on the bolded part of your message and not reading the whole thing.
It only takes one click to check on the Sponsor Gems, which is not generally more effort than having to scroll over to where Tolzar resides, depending on how far your Colosseum is from there. At any rate, it works for me. I don’t mind being the only one who does it that way. 😉
Cheers!

If you are the only one who uses the Sponsor Gems as a Colosseum indicator, it is because you are original and unique, for sure!
The Oracle takes so long to load in my park, I would be impatiently clicking Market > Treasure > Sponsor Gems over and over like a frantic cat darting around for no good reason. I don’t time the Colosseum very well at all; I’m always in a hurry when I need to complete it.
Thank you for your wise posts and great helpfulness, it is always most appreciated. Cheers, my flicker friend!
(Btw, I will be sending you a message regarding that issue.)

Thanks for the kind words! Not to get into a compliment competition, but your contributions to this forum and our enjoyment of DV are off-the-chart awesome! And such a lovely and generous human being to top it all off! So take that!
Hopefully I’m not telling you something else you already know, but you don’t have to click on Market > Treasure > Gems to get to the Sponsor Gems. If you just click on your gem count indicator on the main game screen (top right corner), it takes you directly there. I don’t know about you, but I played for years before I discovered that shortcut. And if you did know about it, hopefully someone else who didn’t know is reading this and learning about it for the first time!
Cheers to you, my FFF (flicker friends forever)!

I won’t try to compete, but I agree that adlerist has been a wonderful addition to the forum. I am extremely thankful for all the help she has given me as a returning player trying to learn all the new ins and outs of DV.
I only learned that trick in the last few months, and it has taken until recently to retrain my brain to use that shortcut. I realized it when I accidentally clicked on my gem stash while trying to do something else. It is definitely easier and faster. I am thankful you told us about using the sponsor gem for the colosseum ad. It will be much faster for me as well since my colosseum is not on an island next to Tolzar. Plus, if I watch a video somewhere else, tolzar will still have a play button, but I won’t get my colosseum ad. I have lost the extra gems several times because of that. So, the sponsor gem will be more reliable for me as well.
Thanks to both of my flicker friends. FFF

I have a couple of hours before my colosseum is ready and I wanted to get my last vision just incase I don’t get back to my park before reset, so I checked to see if the market gem was available. It was there, so I exited the market and watched Tolzar’s last vision. Went back to the market to check on my market gem - it was gone. Just went back to the market before posting here and it’s back.
A little side note about the very special world which is the internet and more specifically a forum ie this forum. Until I read Wapatango s input I didnt know Adlerist is a lady! Actually I never bothered trying to figure out. It is/was not important, what’s important is the personality, the way the person acts and relates with others. Actually, it is not the first time I share a net space with people for many years and only then find out they are asian, afro-américan, male or female etc. This is also due to the fact that you do not hear the person, you only read and in english you can write a book in the first person and never disclose if you are man or woman. In french, german and other languages, this is not possible. T is interesting inthe sense that you do not have any pre shaped opinion.

I'm joining the club too. And only a couple days ago I was telling my friends on another forum about adlerist passing along the information about my Halloween Blue Moon dragon. I told them and referred to adlerist as a "he" because I mistakenly assumed she was male.
I know how it feels to be on the receiving end of this, because I've been mistaken for male myself, at least four times now. I'm not sure why. My sister said it's because of my username. Apparently anything with Dragon in the title is considered masculine. And to that I point out all of our beautiful, flowery dragons and say dragons can be feminine too.

Every single person in the world of DragonVale, from the forum to Reddit to Discord and beyond, has guessed wrong and assumed I was male. Considering that males were the majority of gamers, it is a good, safe guess. But all the women on gaming sites, coders, developers, and players, are a reminder that it’s not 1990 anymore. Half the gamers are female. So, I’ve started to assume that everyone is a woman instead. Even if their username is Rob. Could be short for Robarella. Gotta play it safe.
