I totally agree. I didn't realize there had been a bunch of lobbying to make boosts EZmode.
I don't get it. Like wanting candy, but not the calories.
Probably catering to the people who comment on their FB page, cause we all know how they are over there...
I've frequented over there from time to time to keep posted and I haven't see people lobby for the negative boosts to go away. Questions about the minus yes.
So that leads me to wonder what BFS has up their sleeve... Maybe they're doing this change in advance as compensation for something in the future? :/

This certainly looks like the case. Usually BFS doesn't make a big change like this without some reason that we only discover afterwards.
I agree that it does take the challenge away. I had a nice strategy going to place all my dragons on various islands; now I'll have to rethink everything and it's making my head hurt.
GCID: rionhow Thanks to ElektronX for my Light Rift avatar!
I refuse to rethink anything right now. If we had that park freeze button and could move everything into midair, I might consider it, but rearranging my park and replacing dragons in various habitats is way too hard. Besides, I really like my opposite island. It is one of my favorites.
I love my vine dragon avatar created by ElektronX. Now, if only BFS would add it to the game...

To everyone getting all excited about no negative boosts,
While I agree this is awesome and generous, I also think that unless you plan on playing the game for 20+ hours a day it won't make a huge difference in DC earnings. Seeing as the best giant habitat is dark, which holds only 175k, and the most versatile (earth) only holds 150k. Seeing as the value in most habitats comes from being able to go have a life outside the game come back and not be losing DC. This means that even if you quad boost Panlong dragons or Paper dragons your earnings per day would not go up a significant amount unless you play A LOT, like all the time. So sorry I don't see how this will make earning DC so much easier (unless boosts can affect dragon earnings in the colosseum) in which case I'm wrong and it is very important.
I do like it for moving around dragons though because it's just one less thing to worry about.
Also please tell me if I'm wrong. I like feedback it helps me get better at the game

Gem friends are full. But I love seeing new parks!
Still need: cyclops, snowy silver, arbor, bouquet, dream, sprout

Just reread the message from BFS and maybe this is BFS way of appeasing people after so many events? So not necessarily a pre-empted move? Ugh I don't like change for no reason >.<
Just in case for some reason negative boosts come back I made it really easy (at least for me if no one else) to edit the wiki back to include negative boosts.
There was more to edit than I had originally thought, but I think most (if not all) is reflecting accurate information now in regards to the negative boosts being removed.
I also don't plan on changing my park around because of this, and it does seem like a fun (yet sometimes frustrating) challenge in the game has just been removed.

Thanks for running the wiki you have no idea how much I appreciate it.
And yeah it was a fun challenge :/ the FB's response is just as perplexed as the forums'. Oh well.
Oh how fickle we are. Just the other day, prism was the dragon to get. Now it's just another fail for leaf.
Yep just got my second Prism fail.

You're welcome, and thank you for the thanks. I like being able to help when I can, even if some projects or updates require a lot of time or more time than originally thought.

It kind of takes some of the challenge out of organizing parks
Agreed. - (and I rarely have a )
I also agree.. I feel like all my Earth dragons have went down in earnings while metal is a little higher. But wow!! I just noticed My level 18 Light Rift earns 242 DC per minute. This is going to be major rearranging since my low earners are all in hibernation.

I kept all breeding records for the last twelve months. It turned out I bred 1,315 times in one year. Among them, I bred DR/DR 170 times and got 70 Double Rainbows and 54 different type of dragons. You never know what you will get when you breed DR/DR pair.

It can be fun using this scattergun approach to breeding, but remember you are losing income from TWO Doctors while you are doing it. In an enhanced cave that's around 3 million DC you are throwing away. Each time you breed another Doctor.

I have level 20 Paper, level 20 Panlong, level 18 Cotton and level 18 Terradiem (fifth dragon is being used for Colosseum) on a Giant Earth Habitat. The Habitat maxes out in less than 40 minutes.

I bred DR/DR when there is nothing to breed. I read this kind of discussion throught this Forum several times. What you are saying is true for a short term. However, if you plan to play for more than a year, my approach is not that bad. Actually the real reason that I bred so many DRs is because I anticipte we will have Giant Rainbow Habitat someday.
I could have used the boost change during the firefly event as I was upgrading more and more habitats to Giant and the habitats were filling up with coins slower.
There were quite a few boosts I hadn't purchased. Now I think I have them all.

I am bringing back an old topic/discussion, my thoughts may be jumble, as I am pressed for time, and I think much faster, than I type...(Dont know if anybody even remember the posts/conversation), maybe BS does.
At the time of the discussion between an army of Soltice Vs. an island of DRs, I did my own calculation and the break even point for them was at around 152 days (I remember 1/2 year vividly, for some reason 152 days stuck w/ me), but not a year like someone may have believe.
I basically solved for X. X equals to the break even point, and it would take aprrox. 152 days for DRs to catch up to Soltice. After that DRs. will surpass Soltice in earning.
I did not share my calculation because
- I was new - My chicken scratch hand-writing was on a letter size paper, and it meant I had to redo it a presentable manner - How this member arrived at a year time frame did not sit right w/ me, so I did one for ME, out of curiosity, nothing more. - Dont think anyone would care as we all play differently.
You approach is not bad at all. Your Drs. have earned you so much DC already.
