#DragonCityStory #HeroesOfWinter #HighWinterDragon

Well, I see a Sun, a Moon, a Star, and a Comet.
I also see a Compass.

I wonder what this could all mean...

Edit: Here's my theory:
We're gonna be getting around 8 new Dragons:
-4 based off of the Sun/Moon/Star/Comet
-4 based off of directional winds(?)

I thought they are symbols for light element, dark element , a rank star, and a special skill. But no idea how they tie together.

Dear community,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts @Arranos and @Susan-McLaughlin !

Very soon I'll be sharing with you more information: a written story, the final dates, the different island that will guide us throu the event and... the new Dragons and rewards for the Heroes of Winter Event!!

Well, the Dragon Book has some new Dragons added...and it seems that they may relate to Heroes of Winter...

We got Eurus, Notus, Zephyrus, Boreas, and Horai. They seem to be based off of the Greek gods of the winds, each one being specific to a direction, like a Compass, with Horai being the guardian of these 4 Dragons.

We also got Winter Comet, Winter Star, Winter Sun, and Winter Moon, who match up with the images on the compass. A new Collection was added with the Uller Dragon as the Reward for getting the 4 "Legates of Winter".

I wonder how they'll relate to the #HighWinterDragon...

Dear community,

Did you watch the video presentation for the "Heroes of Winter" Event? We hope you like it!

Today, we start this new storytelling event. Let's destroy the machine and bring the winter back to Dragon City!

Have a great day.

It just struck me - given this story, the switchover to the in-game winter graphics really should have been turned off, or at least delayed until after the machine is destroyed. According to the story, winter's just not coming to Dragon City. Visually however, we see everything covered in snow anyway.

It'll be a process, I believe. Similar to Race for the Dragonverse, it'll change as time goes by.

Well we see some things covered in snow.... Only my main island, the farms, the ToL, the breeding tree and the mountain are Winterized. This is the one pet peeve I have about these themed changes, they never do everything. Are they too lazy or too clueless with these half-done changes??

That's the thing: These aren't the ordinary winter graphics. If they were, they'd be Christmas-themed.
This is more like a snowy land/ice-covered land...and I feel like things are gonna get a little warmer as the month continues.
Yeah, it's cosmetic, but I believe the main thing is that it's supposed to tell the story of the Heroes of Winter.
Should they have done that with every Island? Maybe so. But we'll have to wait and see to get the bigger picture.

They ARE Christmas-themed - just look at the ToL, it's lit up like a Christmas tree. And the idea of it being snowy now, but getting warmer over the month, is directly contradictory to the story - which states that all of Dragon City is exceedingly hot already. Not just not-winter, but hotter than summer.

To conform to the story, we ought to see things like water features drying up, no snow at all, and then once the machine is destroyed it gets snowy.

@pounawea it’s a pretty logo. And I like the snowy and Christmas touches sprinkled throughout the islands.

I saw this pop up about all the current collections and we will have 2 possible scenarios:

• the orbs for Uller and the Hyperion dragon will be offered durig the Heroic race.
• we need to empower the dragons of each collection (4 dragons in Uller collection and 4 in the Hyperion)

First option: ok, it could explain why it's being so hard to get the 4 "heroes of winter", we don't need to empower them.

Second option: Like on previous DC stories, empower dragons in order to receive orbs for another dragon. Empower 4 dragons to get orbs for Uller, 4 dragons to get orbs for the Hyperion and these 2 to get orbs for the Heroic dragon. Quicky overview: the total are 6 summon proccess, 8 hatchings and 30 empowerment proccess until 1st January

I'm really hoping a Christmas miracle to improve this event (or some misinformation in these pop-ups) because so far the whole thing is so disappointing.
The Heroes of Winter are re-skinned/armored dragons. The freebies doesn't help in anything. The tournaments are not possible to finish because there isn't enough time.

Best part of the event: the idea of bring the 4 winds was amazing! Boreas will be my best aqquisition.

Trust me: I wouldn't count on many people getting to empower all 8 dragons to Grade 3. As such, I wouldn't count on many people getting a Grade 3 High Winter.

@aleweck I agree, so far this is the most frustrating and disappointing of the stories.

I predict the former, that they'll be race rewards. Probably in the lap 20+ range. Which would mean a lot of gemming to get the empowering done within the time limit.

I furthermore predict that the Moon and Sun orbs are planned to mainly be found in the next tower island, and that's why we're getting so few now.

But I'm also going to predict that it won't be possible to collect the Moon orbs, Sun orbs, AND the collection dragons for Hyperion without spending substantial real money.

@scott-clark the whole event is a farce, very poor from SP

Collecting the Heroes of Winter is a very frustrating quest!!!

I have managed to collect enough orbs to summon Winter Comet

As for the others I only have 65 Winter Star, 30 Winter Sun and 5 Winter Moon
Got very few from videos and Quests.

I was dumb enough to buy a couple Winter Duo Packs and I ended up with Snowflake & Vanoos orbs

Hi knowledgeable DC members, anyone mind telling me how much gems would be required to collecting all dragons on the current season maze island?

How is it possible for a relatively new member to repeatedly able to acquire every single dragon from the season island, the past divination island & also the prior one. User is posting on Facebook how he completed the winter collection and did it this way. Total coin requirement 21,900.

This person must have paid a fortune??? I see regular paying members and I don't recall anyone being able to spend gems so easily. and accomplishing what he has. How many people have already completed this here?

All informations about path costs can be found here: https://forums.socialpointgames.com/topic/10920/season-maze-05th-dec-17th-dec . 50000 coins are on offer atm for 54,99 Ruros. So 100,00 Euros would be enough to finish all. There are many people who would do that. Please check next time for an appropriate to place your question.

Adding to the above, gems don't even help much. You have to do real cash to buy the extra coins. Overall, if you want to get all dragons from all events, you're talking hundreds of dollars a month. Just as easy for a new player as an established one, really - it doesn't depend on your experience level at all, just how much cash you're willing to fork over.

Basically you can view DC as two different games, one for people who don't spend $$$ (or spend minimally, e.g. popping the piggy bank when it's full but no more) and one for people who spend $$$ liberally. The latter get a lot more content, and have a massive advantage in PvP battles, but the former is a perfectly viable way to play. You just have to accept you'll never get all the dragons released at any given time, and be patient for them to come back around in future events when they're easier to get.

Hmm you need to get this thought right out of your head or this game is going to cost you a small fortune. First trying to buy every dragon in every event is very, very expensive. Second trying to compete to keep up with others is also going to cost you a small fortune. Yes there are some events that you may be able to finish for free, and some you can finish for a small cost but then there are others like this one that cost much, much more. In all events I would suggest you do as Bettina says and follow the released info on paths and costs and make your decisions based on what you can afford and what you are willing to pay, not based on others

Thanks All. Thought this was the appropriate topic to post this question as it was related to special DC events. I wouldn't mind spending if I thought some dragons were really cool or powerful. What I'm perplexed is how some select individual, from time & time again, are able to complete these special events within 1 or 2 day into the event without even seeing how much they are short by.

Some want to be first, some are impatient to wait, some want to hatch in prep for breeding events some have other reasons.

Im a newbie to the forum but I have played the game for a good while.
I believe there may be a hacker in our heroic race
As soon as the race started they jumped to level 5. I have used the contact us part on the DC app to ask DC to look into it but I wondered if this would actually be looked into?
Seeing as a node is like 50 gems it would have cost them a silly amount to get that far so quick, also they have not moved since the game started so it doesnt look like they are playing and completing any further tasks.
I dont want to waste my time and gems if they are able to keep jumping ahead so quickly

Can I just say that this event has been the worst event in terms of collecting the dragons advertised.

Legends of Deus and Relic of Life were better in terms of collecting them imo, with Legends of Deus being less demanding. 5 decorations to unlock a dragon? Best idea they had.

Relic of Life was similar to Legends of Deus, but asked players to collect 10 decorations. That was the norm for a while. The last time a decoration collection happened, it was with the Bananas (which was the only collection I did not get).

Race for the Dragonverse was a...decent event. Personally, was able to collect enough Orbs to summon the 4 Faes, but was not able to breed for the Evanescent Fae. Had to rely on getting her from Orbs, and luckily, was able to not only get her, but Empower her once.

The Legates of Winter...
130 Winter Comet, 95 Winter Star, 55 Winter Sun, 20 Winter Moon.
To get Winter Star, I'll have to make it to Lap 11.
To get Winter Sun, I need to get to Lap 23. A x2 multiplier guarantees it. If not achieved, Lap 30 is required.
To get Winter Moon, I need to get up to Lap...28. Not even Lap 19 is enough.

I've gotten each of the other 3 sets of dragons before the collection was over, with Evanescent Fae being the exception.

There are no quests to obtain them in at this time. Freebies does not have them at this time. They're promoting 8 dragons as part of the event, 2 of which are older dragons. The other two aren't part of the Legates of Winter collection.

Oh, and Legates of Winter? 5 Gems as a reward.

Yeah, no. I see this event as a failure.

Everything about the race should be discussed here. Contacting the support is the only thing you can do. I always try to reach lap 15 to get the heroic dragon. I am racing on my own pace. I let others waste their gems while I am doing what I want.
