If anyone of my regular gem/food Friends has turned up short of anything, it's a glitch.
I get these spells when I'm only able to send one thing at a time and either have to get out of the social menu or shut down completely before I can continue.
It's a right royal pain and I'd send to Support about it, except that I already have two Support tickets pending answers.
I'll be glad when we're back to normal.
PS: I'm now having déjà vus - such as gifts being there even after I've collected them. Go figure.
I've been having this happen the last few days as well (had problems sending you a gem a while ago, apologies if it failed to deliver!). Interestingly this just started happening for me at the same time I got an big increase in Game Center issues, so I'm thinking it might be related to GC and not actually a DV problem.

Ugh, the Game Center bug has gotten an order of magnitude worse for me the last few days (the one where DV doesn't ever present the GC banner and just hangs on the loading screen... then when you try to open GC it just has a white screen). Rebooting my iPad or iPhone fixes the issue temporarily, but then it happens again just a short time later.
Curse you Apple, this has been an ongoing issue for years, please fix it!
I hear you on this, mine has got to the point if I go into DV and leave, I have to reboot to go back in. I hear that Apple are 'fixing' Game Center issues by getting rid of it. It will no longer be an app in the new iOS 10. Game invites are supposed to go through messenger, don't ask me how it's supposed to work as I can't find too much info online. I'm not even going to download the new iOS yet until there is more info, the last think I want to do is to loose my park.
Yes, this is my understanding as well regarding the GC app itself, but I also understand they will continue to have the Game Center service (it would be very painful for them to get rid of it at this time, at least without an extended period for game developers to migrate to a new/different service). Since the problem seems to be with the service and not with the app, I'll believe they've fixed it when I actually see it!

Exactly the same for me. But I get the problem regularly so I need to restart my phone (iPhone 6s+) a couple of times per day .
EDIT: I'm on iOS 9.3.5 which is supposed to have fixed the 'white screen' bug. Sigh.
Thank you for posting this...it is such a relief to know that I am not alone in this matter. I hope the 'white screen' bug is fixed soon because it is certainly annoying!
As for myself, I have yet to update to iOS 9.3.5, but if it is supposed to fix the 'white screen' bug then I just might update later today. The first time I encounter the bug was just a few days ago...did you encounter the bug earlier than I?
On another note, I also am dealing with the local park or Game Center park question just about every time I enter DV. I think I remember reading that this issue was solved by deleting the DV app and then reinstalling it. Is this correct (for any of you reading that are in the know)? Admittedly, however, I am a little worried to delete the DV app at the moment given the current issues with Game Center.
I've had the local park thing happen twice over the years, both times when I was in a weak wifi situation and had network errors during the load phase. Local park creation seems to be the default behavior if DV can't find your park on the network. Once a local park has been created and a network park is found, then DV does the "right" thing and prompts you to choose which one to use every time you restart. Indeed, deleting the app and starting fresh fixes the problem

When they say 92 million wishes made they may be referring to tossing a coin into the wishing well that is typically done with wishing well when making a wish, rather than the redeeming of a wish.
Aaah, that must be it. Does anybody remember the running totals from the two wishing events?

Hrms. IT turns out to be difficult to remember to collect my "1000 rings a day" from the Social list now that I'm assured of getting all the dragons.
Hopefully it will at least turn into food at the end.
Yup, if you've made all the ring purchases you intend to (or you have enough rings in your wallet to afford everything you want but you're holding off to try to breed before spending), then you don't need to claim your 1000 per day. All your banked rings will convert to food at the same rate regardless of location (or at least it has always been so)

Here's a link to the infographic I mentioned above. m.imgur.com/a/RAyUl Similar to the one about the wishing well, shortly after the Faire. It looks like more people chose House Hidden Bolt, and Blazing Gale second, than the others. And here is a full view of the dragon, and decoration. m.imgur.com/a/IKTc4
Hmm, some of these numbers don't seem to agree. There have been over 40M downloads (I take this to mean there are less than 41M, because they used several significant digits most everywhere...). I assume that this number actually represents unique park IDs (i.e. from the debug screen) rather than unique devices, since most old timers will have downloaded the game onto multiple devices over the years. I've no idea what kind of player retention they have, but presumably this means there are quite a few less than 40M active players.
And yet there have been over 92M wishes made! We've only received two wishes and we had to be active participants in two separate events to have received both (not to mention that many are still hoarding their wishes, so "wishes made" seems a bit suspect). Apparently some of us successfully wished for more wishes before the wizards discovered that loophole and magically shut it down!

N/A are these new dragons the last surprise you were waiting for? Do they represent a new kind of hybrid (not the classic hybrids, not golden hybrids, but some kind of new class)? I'm guessing we'll see new groups of 5 dragons anchored by each of the remaining elements over the next year or so, i.e. 5 new fire hybrids, 5 new air hybrids, etc.

Good to know, thanks! And just for the record, the thing I WISH I could Wish for is the Giant Light Reward Habitat. I got the Giant Dark Reward Habitat during the original event, but only the Large Light Reward Habitat, and the resulting lack of symmetry has bugged me ever since...
Now that I wasted my wishes on the puny reward habitats, they are sure to return in the upcoming Halloween event, so no worries
Ahaha! I used my wishes the exact same way since I was able to upgrade to the giant reward habitats during the event!
(sigh, I don't know why I'm laughing, this is actually a symptom of Completist's Disease)
the house mascots are icy torrent, hidden bolt, blazing gale, mountain sun, and iron blossom (breedable with thorn, this is the only exception). The Olympus dragons that correspond with each house (squall, Stygian, herald, thunderbolt, and valor) are all breedable with the CBC. And you can get seconds of all of the aforementioned dragons by breeding yours and someone else's in the CBC.
So if someone puts mountain sun or icy torrent up in cbc I can clone those house dragons??
The house dragons are not epics, so they can only be cloned if you already have one.

Alright I'm coming in to the lounge. Too early for drinks here so hopefully the koala coffee is good and strong!!
I was literally writing a post on my laptop that I was coming into the lounge as well since my baby park's Dawnbringer turned out not to be a twin (and so my main park remained Dawnbringer-less), WHEN OUT OF THE BLUE MY iPad SITTING NEXT TO MY KEYBOARD INFORMED ME THAT HOUSEFORJOY HAD SENT ME A TWIN DAWNBRINGER!!!
WOO HOO!!!!!
(oh, and thank you very much!)

No luck yet for Dawnbringer in my main park, but I just got the correct timer in the CBC for my baby park. Even better, I'm overdue for a twin in that CBC, so perhaps, maybe, perchance, mayhap, possibly, with luck, I'll get her in my main park as a twin (plz bfs!). If that's the only way I can get one, I'll take it!

I have a weird question. I have two parks, one is iOS and uses game center for friends and one is android and uses facebook. I've seen a few people mention that they use iOS and have friends through both game center and facebook? If this does work, you have two sets of friends. So my question is what would happen if I connected both parks to facebook? Would I be able to see both sets of friends in my iOS park? Or would I potentially really mess it up? Like my gem buddies on facebook would see me twice or something?
I don't use Facebook for gaming, but my wife does. She can see both me via Game Center as well as her FB friends on her iOS device.

Same here! Has any taken the Olympic prize island. Will it only hold Olympic habitats? How many habitats can you squeeze on it?
Mandimoody
Those are regular size Olympus habitats. Hope it helps you visualize the island a bit easier.
buffy,
Good grief, I had such an "OF COURSE!!!" moment when I saw you had put your colosseum* on the Olympus island with your Oly habs! It's so obvious now that you've shown us the way!
* My spellchecker really doesn't like Backflip's archaic spelling of coliseum!

ARRRRGH! I accidentally hit Collect on one of my large friend banks. 800-ish banked tickets gone in a split second. I'm thinking of selling my traitorous index finger on eBay.
What does a traitorous index finger go for on eBay? I'm not looking for one, just curious about the market for it.
Er... did I type traitorous*? I obviously meant groundbreaking, trendsetting, or pioneering. This is a leader among fingers with a carpe diem attitude whose motto is "I Point the Way!" A fabulous finger with qualities like these should command a princely sum. Are you sure you're not in the market? A finer finger you'll never find! Really, one can never have too many index fingers!
* Obviously the original post was typed by the other fingers while I wasn't paying attention. They're all resentful and riddled with jealousy. Especially the middle finger, always gotta keep an eye on that one. They're apparently working together to get rid of my index fingers in a fire sale. Well, except for the thumbs, they're always opposed to everything.

It would be so much easier if they implemented a search box where you type in what dragon you want.....It takes so long to scroll through the dragons, especially the epics.
Better filtering / sorting / searching are definitely needed, but at the very least they need to separate the epics and gemstones. What a ridiculous category!

skitch:::I'd love to visit Greece again, I was only there for a few days so we really only had time for Athens. I have a special interest in ancient civilizations (especially ancient art and architecture). There's such a palpable feeling of history.
aha! Another ancient civilisations afficionado!! For me Turkey was even better: some of the statuary in their small museums along the coast was so beautiful I was moved to tears.... ( must stop now...wrong thread...do NOT climb up on soapbox, DO NOT) deep
Hmmm, judging from the items popping up in my news feed even as I type, this might not be the best time to visit Turkey...

I actually LOOKED for Thermopylae Pass. You need a lot of imagination - they flattened the other mountain to make the highway - and the way they measure it, the battle site is a short hike up.
...it wasn't trampled flat by a million angry Persians?
