Thanks again. I’m new to iPad, but from what I’ve read online game center backs up automatically. Is there another way?

Yes I’ve sent a few email to them. 😒🙂

Just the older fashioned backup via, is it iTunes? Or something, connecting via a cable and doing a backup that way? ( you can see I'm REALLY not techy 😱)
I just recall others in the past with loading issues using a reinstall from having backed up their game themselves rather than/as well as relying on GC.

gc has been glitchy of late, is why in future I wouldn't rely on it to do saves. I back up to iCloud regularly...

another thought, if your iPad is new you might get free online chat  help from Apple? Worth a try ??

I'm using the same iOS without issue so it's not a version-wide problem.

The DragonVale park is saved on BFS's servers, only using Game Center as ID and for its defunct friend system, so restoring from an iCloud backup from before the problem started or returning to factory defaults is safe (for DV, maybe not everything else 😛) and could be an interesting option. If it's something on your iPad causing this, then the restore might make it work. If it's an issue with your park then nothing will be able to fix it until BFS support gets back to you.

Sorry I can't be any more help. 😕

I concur, and I've switched devices / installed on several simultaneously enough to know this is true for DV.

Thanks again to the board responses!!! I am back baby!!!!!!!! lol. Backflip did respond and had me up in running in a few hours. No real explanation as to why it occurred but I’m thrilled that I found this community. I am even now a member, official name Pigilicious. I look forward to reading and maybe finding some friends to gift to!!!! The game has been a fun way to pass the time while I recuperate from health challenges.

Thanks again!

[Kiwichris]

Woot! So glad pigilicious!! Now you can lax and play with dragons aaallll day 😊🌻🌻🐨🐨🐨🐨🐉🐲

I’m sure this has already been mentioned/complained about. But since I’m still new here, I’ll bring it up again. That is, if it has been brought up before. If not, then let me complain about it now. 😕

Why is it, that when ever I go into Tiamat’s Lair or Bahamut’s Basilica to roll the dice for a dragons level up, the prize board says 20-21 is a level up and a another turn? Is there something I’m missing here, because my dice only have a 20! It’s a 20 sided die, there is no 21! 🤨. What’s with that, huh? Am I just looking into it too much, maybe🤔. But it bothers me every single time I roll!

Whew, I feel better now 😁

[Arkynos]

LynnMarie There's an option to add +1 for 5 gems. If you do then you get double chances to roll again with 19+1 as well as a natural 20.

Just a suggested Dragonarium tweak:

"Twins you have"

This would help twin collectors a lot.

Oh my Wizards! Of course, 20 plus the add 1!  I can’t believe all I never realized this myself. 😳

I'd definitely like this, but the wishlist has helped quite a bit for me. I added all the dragons that I don't have twins of to the list and track them that way. Sort of the opposite of your suggestion, less good for actually finding where your twins are, but helpful for knowing what to co-op breed at any given point.

BFS the dragons are quickly out growing the dragonarium categories. Additional categories make it much more resourceful.

Even splitting up blue bordered rares into non limited hybrids and limited rares would help.

And then a filter! Can we filter to just see the limited dragons in the all category?

Dear BFS,
Did you hear that many, many players had their roses Eliminated!?!? That was a nasty mistake. Probably made lots of kids sad.
I propose that this is an Excellent time to begin making in-game friending possible.


PS Please don't fire the poor employee that caused the evaporation of roses.

I 2nd every character in this post this heartily!  So well put, Kiwichris! 

Also thank you, BFS, for a really fun event!  (insert applause here) And the really nice extra eggs!

[Kiwichris]

Dear BFS; it would be great to be able to put a rift dragon straight into the FoY without having to shift it to the Vale, put it in a habitat, and THEN put it in FoY; after all, it IS in a hab already, when in Rift... Having to shift it to the Vale, yep that's internally consistent, if you wanna keep that part of the exercise 😊

[cecilia]

DearBFS
I have a long string of dragons languishing in my Social corner, waiting to be hatched. These are the many mystery eggs I've purchased, but as I already have them, I'd dearly LOVE to be able to clear them without having to put them into my hatchery first.

Dear BFS,
Thanks so much for the eggciting, eggceptional, Eggstraordinary Egg Hunt event!
When can we eggspect the Mono dragons to eggscavate their way and eggspand into the Rift?
Their eggsclusion is eggsaperating potential breed-ability and...
eggserting untold eggscessive eggstremism and eggsclamations. (not the good kind)
We would be eggsceedingly happy with eggsplosions of joy to breed eggsotic, eggsquisite Hidden Rifties.
We eggshort you, end the eggsile, use your eggspertise and eggstensive skills to have Mono eggsplore the Rift.
Okay, I’m eggshausted, eggsit Cyn stage left...

Dear BFS,
SERIOUSLY?
Please don't adopt the fatally flawed model of DVW thinking that your until now loyal DV dragon breeders and Vale friends will tolerate it... Most of us will not.
Illustrative comments can be read in the Eggseptional event thread.

Glitches happen (doubles day limit), we're not griping about that, but about the $gouging tactics your new owners seem to be moving to
Fundamental attribution error guys...
Sort it, or see ya!


.... and BFS keep up a warm tradition of generous and prompt recompense for glitches; genuinely appreciated 🌹😊🐰
