That Dragon Santa would allow us in the future to either sell or store the egg after breeding, and not force us to hatch it immediately.

I also would like Dragon Santa to allow ancient world breeding to count towards breeding events.

I wish this game wasn't pay2win

I wish this game wasn't pay2win

... have been play’n this game just over a year now and have almost 400 dragons collected, a dozen Heroics, a few Mythicals ... and have paid -0- the whole time ... game CAN be play4free ... depends on if the player can be patient to wait for dragons to come around and be strategic during events and in gem/resource collecting ...

Well said.

@michael-lon
The first thing actually worked ages ago. But just for 1 month or so... probably that explains those mud dragons in my storage

I wish during any event that every task counts towards achieving the the prize. If I need to collect 14 foods and I collect 14 foods, every one of them should count. Don’t just count 10 and the other 4 don’t count...even if you use gems to collect them. It’s really frustrating and totally unfair.

... go to the Heroic Race post and read first item to learn about wait “pools” ...

Thanks for the tips. I really don’t understand what the charts mean. It’s ok, I wasn’t asking for a fix to a problem. I was making a wish. I don’t like to pay gems to speed up progress and get nothing for it. It is what is is, I just don’t like it. I just need to stop spending money on this game...much as I love it.

... ahhhh ... i see ... REALLY new (like we all have been) ...

do go to the very 1st post about the Race ... @Bettina-Löffler wrote in the 2nd line: “Race tips can be found here.” ... tap on the word “here” and there is a long post that explains a lot .. GL

@dragonlove I've seen a person with level 40 legendarys in the terra 2 thing idk how I've also seen someone with a high diabolical dragon at level 10 in league 1 still not gonna change my opinion about pay2win but I get your point

I agree with you. It is pay2win. I’ve spent hundreds on this game. When I stop spending, the game becomes pretty boring.

... @DragonLove can be pretty patient ... ‘specially if there’s LOTS of ice cream available ...

This game is not pay to win. You can get plenty of dragons and other resources for free. I have been playing for just 2.5 years and have 831 unique dragons hatched with 43 more in storage, yet have only ever bought the 3 extra islands and one sack of gems. I now own all but 2 heroic dragons, and picked up 4 of them with alliance trading. So great features do exist for FTP players.
You have to realise that many dragons do come around again, and usually at a cheaper cost than they were the first time.
I do, however, believe that SP is offering fewer good deals and events these last few months than they used to, but they are still there to be found.

The only times I did not get the Heroic Dragon, in a Heroic race, is when I didn’t spend money.
It’s ok, I understand how the game works. I don’t mind spending money on entertainment. I’m just agreeing with the person who feels that it takes money to win anything of significance. Thanks.

I started playing in July and I have 10 heroics.....and I haven't spent a dime....but I have invested a lot of for time on the game, which is pretty much the same thing. I don't see the fuss about heroics. Sure they're nice to have and pretty with their auras, but the real bread and butter of the game are empowered legends and mythic. It's knowing the game and learning to advance. A f2p player like myself can easily empower a few legend dragons to 5 stars with time. My 5 star Kraus one shots many heroics. Problem with heroics is they are way harder to empower than legends, plus their empower stats are only about half of a empowering a legend...38percent vs 20 percent is huge...

So basically, a 5 star legend is almost on par with a 5 star heroic..
.and a 5 star heroic is near impossible to get. To this date, I have not seen one yet. A 5 star mythic is probably more powerful than 5 star heroic, and those I have seen quite a bit. Getting mythic to 2stars on puzzle events is easy and requires no real money to spend, assuming you take advantage of freebie island.

Im.currently a f2p player and every race I've gotten a heroic dragon since I started playing cause it's doable and I chose to get it. Of course not everyone will want or have the same time as the rest and they will choose to spend the money instead of time..
Which is equally fine. Some will want bragging rights to always being first in arenas and will spend thousands on gems to buy food and get level 70 dragons right away....which is fine. It's their fine. But no, this game after level 25 is not pay to win. I can see why it would seem that way before freebie island, but not after.

Interesting. You are right about the heroic dragons not being as strong and not being able to get empowered. I think it’s my competitive spirit that makes me want to have all of them. My Primal dragon is my strongest dragon. Of course, I spent plenty on food to get him there.
It’s hard to imagine playing this game without spending money. The food alone takes forever to get enough to get your dragons to the higher levels. I’m going to stop spending money and see what happens. I hope you’ll follow me. I’ll keep you posted.

Well, no money in the catacomb island, no Bonekeeper dragon. Didn’t get the 250 gems either.

for these type of events and to get the gems, the best strategy is to save your moves until the last day ... use the maps provided by @Bettina-Löffler to find the purple spaces that have the gems ... use airplane mode to move around and when you find the gems, take off airplane mode to save your progress and collect the gems ... it's worked for me both times the gem treasure hunt has been offered since i began playing ... GL

@aletenkazkoks-debilizmas said in I wish...:

@pamela-parsons welcome to free2play area. You get a big middle finger to your face playing this game.

... if you use some tips and strategies (and plenty of them are freely offered by other players on the forum), there are ways to accumulate dragons and resources and even get your gem count up ...

i've been playing for just over a year now and have 390 active dragons, 160 in storage, 670 gems, 4.58B gold, 165M food, am on last level of evolving last 6 of the 18 dragons in Ancient World.

AND ... all of this without spending a penny on/in the game so ... it CAN be done as F2P
(as an FYI ... i did not, and do not plan to, buy the special islands: Mystic / Wonder / Marvel and yet on the islands provided for free in the game i still have room for dragons and habitats ... again ... without paying a penny.)

@dragonlove theres a difference between what you can get while being F2P and what you miss out on because stuff is locked behind transactions. A good example would be getting dark knight from puzzle island: which is impossible for a F2P player. Or getting the siege done, sure its possible if you already have the dragons that are needed to match their swords, but then comes a newer player who doesn't have the dragons, and cannot get anything from the siege.
Theres many games that offer a super strong thing (cough cough titan dragons) for a price, but you can still get them through super hard grind (which takes TIME, not resources)
I think SP should take inspiration from games that do that, reward players for putting in time if they don't have the money, and if you do have the money, well time isn't necessary.

And my point here is: Give players that put in time the same thing you could get for money. The transactions would only be there to skip the grind. Maybe some sort of endless gamemode with no timer to end, only reset, so F2P players could get busy at all times, if you reach a certain point, you get rewarded handsomly.

@aletenkazkoks-debilizmas I'm a f2p player and I got my dark knight to 3 stars.
Like I said earlier, it takes time and creativity sometimes.

In reference to catacombs, best way to look for the gems is go through the purple squares only using airplane mode to find it. Got the gems on my main and baby acct.

After reading all your comments, I can not resist to put a rant. I think you are wrong. This game gives us sooo many chances to get things for free. Dragons, gems and much other stuff. For example: The 250 gems in Catacombs were possible to get for all players who didnt miss a collection and watched some trailers and did some questbattles. Only time spending. Heroic dragons are possible to get for all players just by spending time. There are some things that only payers can get, like VIP dragons and some other things. But that are not the things that are needed to make the game playable. You can enjoy it without that. Only if you want everything for free at once it wont work. But I dont know another game that gives you everything for free. This game is a long time game. So you just need patience. Things will come around again. It is like crying because you can not get a Lamborghini without having enough money. Then you have to drive a cheaper car. But you can drive. Rant over.

@dragonlove you mean you put your device in airplane mode? How does that help? I don’t understand. Please, educate me.

@bettina-löffler I mentioned in an earlier post that I am giving it a try. No spending so I can test the f2p. I didn’t get the bonekeeper dragon in the Catacombs nor the 250 gems. I did discover your map a little late so maybe that’s why. I do put many, many hours into this game. I do now understand your charts for the heroic race. Thanks, that’s very helpful. I’m trying f2p. I will keep adding to this post while testing your suggestions. Thanks.

... example using this event ...
... strategically, i calculated what I would need to get Bonekeeper using @Bettina-Löffler’s info and knowing my luck in getting the extra 5K coins was gonna be nil ... so i decided to go for the 250 gems ...
... waited til i had a huge amount of coins collected from each day’s 3 collection times, Quests, and Freebies vids ... then with @Bettina-Löffler’s map next to me, opened the game and opened the event ... then i went out to the settings on my phone and put it in airplane mode (AP) ... with phone now in AP, i went back in to the event and began using the map to follow the path to the purple blocks in the bottom right of the map (this is where my last treasure “find” had been on a previous event) and travelled all of those blocks ... found nothing so still had lots of coins for moves yet and went towards the left side of the map and the purple blocks there ... worked around the purple blocks in that area and ... voila! found the 250 gems ... once found, i went back out to settings and flipped off AP so the progress (and finding the gems) would be saved. IF ... i had made a mistake and moved to a wrong block, while in AP, all i would need to do would be to close the game and any moves would NOT have been saved as long as AP was still activated/on ... then I could start over and again open the game, enter the event, go back to settings, turn on AP, go back to the event and try again.

REMEMBER: if you make a mistake, close the GAME first, then flip off AP [ ‘cause if you flip off AP first, your progress is saved (even if you’ve made a mistake) ]

... if you find the “treasure” and WANT to save your progress, shut off AP first, then continue the game.

... sorry that was so long but hope it explains how to use AP ...

@bettina-löffler Your game list is probably limited to just mobile and facebook games if you haven't seen games that ACTUALLY give stuff for free, and don't need to charge all of what you got for quality of life stuff. You got 250 gems from the catacombs? Its all gone on the hatchery!
Heres a good example: warframe.
A game that you get everything and anything that the game has item-wise for free, all it takes is time to get it. Lacking time? Spend some premium currency, which you can also get from trading said items to other players. The only transactions in that game are cosmstic changes. You're just biased because youre a mod here, its that simple.

Edit: That game still makes probably more than SP purely because the community supports their anti-p2p system, where everything ia free.

@dragonlove thank you. This makes sense, now. Very clever.

@aletenkazkoks-debilizmas said in I wish...:

That is wrong. I became mod because I love this game and I still do. Plus I also rant about it sometimes. I just dont understand why everything is negative and why you are still playing.

@bettina-löffler "I love this game" there my point proven.

I don't even play it that much, only at school and sometimes in bed since every other mobile game is either idle, clicker or afk. Not my type. I would however shove not only money but also time into DC if SP would fix so many broken things in it..

Edit: language

@aletenkazkoks-debilizmas Please watch out for your language.

@bettina-löffler boo hoo, banned an account? Feeling powerful? Did I hurt your Ego perhaps?

Absolutely pathetic

@katherine-daminic Geebus,rude much?!

@gacha-master got 2 accounts banned because these mods don't know what they're doing. I've seen worse but this is still peak power abuse

I'm gonna watch them try ban another 20, with different names, register dates and emails. How entertaining.

@katherine-daminic O.K,get your point,it's kind of tyrianical,but they maybe have a reason.

the first one, not really. I posted a thread on a bug that didn't let me login to the game. The one mod with a dragon egg saw that as a heroic race post instead of a bug post and banned me for it (since it wasnt my first mispost)

they dont even give more than 2 chances to new members, this website is absolutely cramped and it gets confusing which post should go where. If only they moved to discord...

@katherine-daminic I never had a problem.A more populare acaount even did a micro colab with me,but still tyrannical of them.

the mod even thought im attacking them after i replied to their warning with 'it wasnt a mispost' and threatened with a ban.

I'm not someone to back down from an argument with some power-blinded moderator, so I kept going. Do the higher staff even know whats going on in this website? Or do they let these mods do everything?

@katherine-daminic I mean,yes,they think that they are Jesuses cousins because of their authority!As I said,SHEAR TYRANY!!

I almost want to contact the higher end to see if they know about this nonsense

Someone should just recreate the whole website, or well, transfer it to discord, where it's actually easy to manage, without the pyramid of power

@katherine-daminic WE NEED COMUNISM

(lol XD)

@katherine-daminic Who did I ban?

@gacha-master and @Katherine-Daminic We are here to discuss game content. The mods are there to organize the board so that it remains clear. We, like everyone else, must follow the rules. This has nothing to do with tyranny or power. And of course, the CM's know what we do and what's going on here. We try to be friendly and respectful to all members here.
Instead of spreading bad mood and rushing against us mods, everyone should first see for themselves whether he has perhaps made a mistake or violated the rules. And btw. a warning is a warning and does not have anything to do with threatening others.

@bettina-löffler I do not even want to say anything but the amount of bad stuff I can say would probably use up the whole english dictionary

Edit: Atenkazkoks, unless that wasn't your work

@katherine-daminic said in I wish...:

Edit: Atenkazkoks, unless that wasn't your work

No that was not me. And if you are not willing to talk about your problems here to solve them instead of writing any insults, it's true that you'd better not write anything at all.

@bettina-löffler must be the other moderator, they're on like a mission to ban all of my accounts and its actually kind of dumb. If they unbanned my main we wouldn't have me coming back with 20 alternatives, but nooo, gotta punish for a 'broken rule' that wasnt even broken, but taken out of context
