POTM for MAY 2014

[Pixie]

With the new month, comes a new installment of POTM. It works like this:


You find a post you like and you nominate it for Post of the Month. You do this by quoting the post and adding the comment "Post of the Month" or if you think you can't pull it off, simply "POTM". A Mod will move your POTM Reply to this thread. Conversely you can right click on the "Link to Post" at the bottom of each post

and Copy Link Location. Then post in this thread with "Post of the Month" (or "POTM" if you think you can), right click in the thread and Paste.
You cannot nominate your own post ... I mean c'mon ... that's just really lame ... no matter how cool/funny/clever/poignant you think you were.
Each post can only be nominated once. The first person to do so gets the nod.
On March 1st (or thereabouts, I mean, we're all working folks here, well most of us) we'll make a Poll with all the nominated threads and everyone here will be invited to vote for their favorite thread. You'll have about a week to vote.
So about the 7th of March we'll have a winner, or more accurately, two, because the original poster AND the person who nominated them wins. What do you win? Gems of course. The mods will pay the winners.


So, to sum up.
- Make good posts.
- Nominate good posts.
- Vote for posts.
- Profit.

Perhaps we could all chip in and get you a calculator for your B-day, oh wait this is 2014, might be one on your phone!

POTM. I love it. GregDarcy is never going to live that one down.

Welcome backflipstudios !
I'm truly thrilled to see you posting here. That gives me the chance to thank you for this wonderful game.

You signed in here to get some input of our ideas and wishes. I believe you won't have the time to read through this whole thread. So I did it and made a list of the wishes published here. It's not complete ( so if anyone's biggest wish isn't represented : no selection intended, I'm just not able to post them all,please post it for your own)

- one wish mentioned dozens of times is to be able to mirror decorations and habitats. ( A lot of our members like symmetry )
- also a notification bubble for the finished colosseum is on top of the list. Some would like to have a notification for Kairos too.
- more trees, bushes and plants that look natural (without a container) as decorations. Also walls, fences and a bench.
- different grounds for the islands (sand, snow, grass, dirt...) because a snowy tree on green grass looks strange.
- also rivers, lakes and waterfalls as decorations were wished. ( this maybe difficult because of the lag the animation would produce)
- of course we always like to have more islands, and more habitats ! A lot of players would like to be able to display two of every dragon which is not possible at the moment
- please extend the max dragon amount in the epic habitats (without making them larger in size), especially rainbow and seasonal habitats should give room for more dragons
- additinal to the gemstone dragons there could be food / agricultural / harvesting dragons that produce food.
- many users would like to have message boards in DV. So that you can leave a message when you visit another park.
- the fountain of youth should work in two steps. From baby to juvenile, from juvenile to adult or vice versa. Each step taking 6 hours.
- the nursery should be upgradable to the 20 % time save
- shrines for epic dragons (each type a single shrine)
- the XP bar should give the exact number of XPs when tapped on
- shrines for light and dark
- new race tracks and colosseum events for light and dark
- longer names for dragons
- some wish to be able to name their islands
- a button in the options to choose whether you'd like to show your dragons( and islands) names to park visitors or not
- being able to lock a dragon to save it from being selled accidently
- inventory : a list with all possible dragons (with small pictures) showing those we have in colours and the others in grey. This list could open up when clicking on the library. It would be fantastic if the amount of dragons of that type would show as small number ( just like the level does normally) so we could see with one look, which dragons are missing.
When clicking on a spcific dragon type another window should open, showing those dragons that user really has with small pictures, names, level and notification where the dragon is at the moment ( hibernation cave, FOY, colosseum, habitat of type xy)
- an upgrade for the storage tower
- a new Legendary dragon
- last Christmas you haven't decorated the parks with snow and other Christmas stuff due to the BEB event which is very memory intensive. If you can't combine those two things you should devide them : please make the BEB event in another time period - for example in September to celebrate the DV anniversary. This way you could decorate the parks for Christmas.
- another possibility would be to cancel the BEB at all. Instead you could create a legendary dragon that is able to time travel. Every x days, it can be activated and causes that only the really next breeding in cave and island will behave like breedings during BEB. This way the user gets a chance for a missed limited.
- habitat island : some members would like to have an island where dragons could run free without habitats bordering their ways. Maybe these islands are element determined or not. Maybe dragons on this islands don't earn Dragon cash but the amount of possible dragons on the island is high. Sort of showing the dragons in hibernation cave.
- full park picture : we would love to have the ability to make a picture of the whole park at once.
- too much buttons : with the last updates the number of buttons on the screen has constantly grown. (Goals, help, ...) . These buttons occlude our dragons. It would be nice to have only one button which when pressed will enroll the other buttons. Or a possibility to get into a view mode where the buttons are hidden.

So, these are a lot of wishes ( not all are mine ) and certainly there are many more. They are the wishes from fans of your awesome game. Take them as proposals.
I'm curious to see which of them will maybe become reality and which not

Thanks a lot
Marion

POTM. A very much appreciated effort Marion.

Can you split them? For example, you have 2 Sprout which give 6 little sprouts..

You can have 3 little sprouts on a giant Seasonal, but can you split the other 3, into 2 sprouts, and 1 sprout so they can reside in 2 other seasonal habitats?

If you want to display 2 dragons each which means you will have six sprouts, which means you would need 2 giant Seasonal habitat, which can be a "headache" 

After typing so many "sprout", sprout starts to sound like Smurf in my head.

they're dragons, not tribbles

Happy Mother's Day!

Had a family mother's day lunch at a Chinese restaurant, so it would only seem fitting to bring along a Chinese dragon for the occasion

Awfully handsome!  POTM, please
