Dear BFS,

Please make an island swap feature. I want to swap EVERYTHING to do with one island over to another island location, however, I don't want to move everything bit by bit, as I want both relocated islands to look exactly as they are, just not where they are...


... please?

I was just wishing for this too! The billowing clouds and expressionist sun of the Summer Seasonal Theme impinge on other Themes. All of my islands could be rearranged more harmoniously. Wonder how hard it would be for BFS??

Is anyone else having problems getting into Dragonvale World? I get a "Cannot Connect to Server" messege with instructions to check my internet connection. My internet is up and running just fine. I'm not sure if their server is down or whether I have a problem with my park. Of course it HAS to happen on a weekend.

Edit:  They've posted on their FB page that the problem is at their end. (whew!)

Oh I'm so glad I saw this. I was starting to worry there was something wrong with my game!

[kristab07]

It's back up for me.

It's a great example of the different head spaces of the two teams imo; in their 'fault announcements' DV always 'blames' the Lightning dragons 😂 and DVW always blames the player...

While I do like the additions to décor that DV has made over the years (yes, I'm one of those "landscaper types"), I would like to see plants made available that are more tailored to particular elements. For example, some willows, puffy/dandelion-like plants, et cetera "native" to the air habitat. (Ideally, said plants would constantly sway in the breeze and/or release puffs into the sky.) Perhaps large cacti or other desert type plants for the Earth habitat. Would be interesting to create plants "native" to the lightning or metal habitats ... not to mention for the light and dark habitats.

Also, the air theme really should have a lot more clouds instead of so much rock being visible.

Really need more Halloween habitats. I love the spooky theme and the Halloween habitats look great there. But there are more Halloween type dragons than the few Halloween habitats one is allowed can hold. Some new/additional Halloween habitats would be most welcomed -- couldn't care less if such new habitats count towards my allowed habitat total. I'd be fine with that.

BFS really has given us a lot of nice trees for decorating, but I think you're right - we need some cacti that aren't in planters! The tidy ring around our only cactus seems so un-desert-like. I'd also like some more snowy evergreens 🌲, maybe in clumps of 2-3. 

I like your idea of creating new kinds of vegetation for the habitats not normally associated with growing things - what would a Lightning tree or shrubbery look like? How would Metalflowers propagate? Will FireTrees branch differently?

i second the motion for more Spooky habitats! 👻

I'd love to have some Metal plants! I like to have one island for each element, and to decorate that island with appropriate decorations, however, I'm really struggling with my metal island. At the moment, I'm using Olivine Obelisks, Fine Flat Rocks and Gardenia's Favourite Blossoms for the border, and the Pylon of Alluring Alloys, an Emerald Triquetra, a Shard of Tull, a Jadeite Oasis, a Diamond Ring and a Candy Cauldron (I like to have six larger decorations for each island). Half of those have been stolen from my treasure habitat anyway, and the blossoms and the cauldron don't really fit at all, I just put them there because the colours sort of fit with the metal habitat. So I would really like some more appropriate decorations for my Metal island, and making plants suited to each element (except Plant, I really don't need any more trees ever) would be a really nice way to do that.

Dear BFS,
Some Island reshuffling seems to have happened at Event's end! The bottom habitat of the Gemstone Island is now almost completely obscured by the Sun of my Seasonal Theme. I'm pretty sure it wasn't like that before the Event. Could the Wizards please arrange for Gemstone to drift over to the East a bit?
Your Fan,

And, dear BFS, while you're realigning the d/rift/ing Gemstone island, could you please spread all the islands out a tad to allow their full themed magnificence to be appreciated, maybe, it only needs magic after all...flick and swish?

[Giant island]

Bfs if the wizards are going to use some magic to move the islands apart per Kris' wish, could they at the same time round out the giant island? All the islands have a round shape them except that one and hopefully one day we will be able to zoom out to see it in all it's glory!

Many players have been chafed by the asymmetric rounded islands, so I suspect this squared-off (rectangled?) island is joyfully welcomed by them. To each his own...

It would still be symmetrical! It's just the border island design. The reward Easter island and Olympic islands look round but are symmetrical. I'm still hoping bfs can make the current standard islands symmetrical too.

Dear Backflip,

It would be nice to be able to chose what we want in our event ending leftovers.

For example we could chose x amount of dragon cash, and y amount of dragon treats.

In the last event, where we used a lot of dragon treats, I would have liked the opportunity to replenish my stores.

[WildKatGhoul]

I'm sure this has been said before, but I think a way to delete parks would be useful. I currently have three parks I don't even use due to me reinstalling the game to fix problems.

Dearest BFS,

Whilst you stick your heads under the hood to wrench on the Alignment-not-changing glitch, might I make a few suggestions?

Cut in half the cost to Rift breed and to clear Miasmic Ether.
Double the amount of Etherium earned from the Rift Habitats.
Triple the amount of DragonTreats currently available upon harvest.

Sincerely, 
Cyn

I wonder if the "glitch" isn't really. It says that when we change the alignment ourselves it lasts the next day too. Maybe Alignment is a two-day effect?

Totally agree on costs. Think we should take nagini's advice, tho, and approach the Rift like we first did DV. Remember when we had to strategize madly to earn enough to Race one more time (yes, kiddies, they used to charge for it, but there was no daily limit ) to try to earn enough to upgrade those low-earning Plant habitats to slooooowly build xp? We're back there.

I have a suspicion that the code that is used to change the Rift's alignment daily doesn't actually work if you don't already have it set to something (some dependency, maybe it actually tries to avoid giving you the same element twice in a row?) and the workaround was to activate the alignment changing building for free on our first login after the update, picking an element based on some arbitrary factor. Say, the last digit of our Park ID. That would fix the problem and give a nice even split between the 10 elements to start with, but using the building for this would make it stick on the first element for 48 hours rather than 24. Just a thought!

Hi BFS, just to give you a change from Matters Rifty; v disappointed about the switch away from gold anniversary statues, do love the animation, but sad the shiny is gone 😔

I agree! I also actually prefer the gold statues over the platinum. The platinum is very dull, imo.
