@bettina-löffler can you Please and Thank You - tell me exactly what the time For picking up coins/tokens is In California which is PST? Thank You, Linda

@linda-stephens What time do you have now there? I googled California. It should be 8 pm - 03:59 am, 04 am - 11:59 am, 12:00 - 7:59 pm. Correct me someone if I am wrong.

3hr difference to DST ... DST collects 7am, 3pm, 11pm
PST should collect 4am, 12pm, 8pm ... do you agree @Nynaevelan ?

She or anyone can actually use Google to convert her own time zone and that of dragon city for accuracy. Use date and time.

are some of those dragons generating food? how does that work?

@apoli I just got Daisy and its not generating food. Went to airplane mode to level up to 40 to generate 50 food/min and still nothing after leaving it for an hour. Might be same bug as Titan when they first came out. I don't see how I can get 1 million food though at this rate.

It said "up to 1 M." That rate is only from the Fertility Dragon. Daisy is 72k per day (50x60x24).

Once they are actually producing, the food production of these dragons only continues through the end of the month, right?

are you saying the food production feature is temporary and not a lasting property of the dragon?

After some simple calculations I got me Daisy, Bee, and Fertility. I own all the others but that ridiculous Stone, and the quite cool Hummingbird will have to wait for some better times. Maybe it will come as a second best dragon in some future heroic race, just like Hebe did in the last one

@apoli said in ***Spring Island, Mar19 - Mar30, 2020***:

Yes only produce food till end of the month, read the panel on the right of the game, it says that

HI, so Social Point did listen to the player's feedback wrt to Dragon Rescue keys.
Aqua, Plume, Bee has key chests.

Food Path = Bear, and Honey Collector both costing 9,200 coins
Nisse = 160 Moves for 2,590 coins

Last time my friend did the Silly Path (food Path) it was not worth it IF you already have the dragon because the food is measured by your player level.
I don't know how to measure for this event because I don't know what to do yet.

I added some more informations.

@jgb My Daisy is still not producing food yet. Wasted money thinking I get an early 1 million food per day per dragon from now to end of month...misleading ad...

Dear DrDragon, YOU will only get the food when the habitat that your Daisy in is already full capacity. So, if you put it in a level 7 habitat but your other dragons there are level 10 only, it will take longer to get it full.

This information is also applicable to Titans and it was already mentioned by other players in Facebook, too.

Do you find it hard to view the Puzzle Island?

I've decided to try for Fertility and the puzzle moves paths first, if I collect enough from the puzzle island then I will add Hummingbird, Bee and Daisy, in that order. Though I doubt I will get more than 1 of those three.

I would also like confirmation on these dragons and food production. Will they ONLY produce food during this event or will they still produce food afterwards but at a reduced rate?
To me if these dragons are only producing food during this event they are not worth it.

@jason-stratton-0 The dragons will produce food until March 30. That is confirmed.

Is it just my imagination or are the food tasks way more in puzzle island?

Yes they are, I had to stop because I ran out of food....

@michael-lon said in ***Spring Island, Mar19 - Mar30, 2020 + Puzzle Island, Mar20 - Mar26***:

Yes way more, I am also running low on food, this puzzle is very very bad SP

I have a question as to technique:

Do you use the star even though the items (like blueberry) are few so that you can focus on top and lower prizes?

Or do you use your star on the most numbers of items (ex: leaves) to get more out of your stars and clear the table/window?

@gemspender That depends one where it is located. Normally I try to use it for items I need to finish something I want. But sometimes it is besides items I do not need. Then I take it for the max items to clear as much as possible to make room for other items again. Because sometimes it happened that I waited to long and it was removed with clearing a row by mistake. Best is to combine 2 stars. That will clear the whole board.

with the ridiculous food requirements, I’ll be taking it easy. No trading essences again. Kinda ridiculous how they keep trashing what used to be good events. I’ll be holding on my 3600 gems

Hi, can someone explain to me how it works with the food “producing” dragons? I have Daisy at level 20 which should give 36 food per minute, I have put her in a nature habit level 1 with another dragon, but when the habitat is full, I can collect gold but no food?
They should really explain these things and not let us figure it out somehow.

I clear the most tiles as you then get more chance of tiles coming together naturally to clear themselves. It also will probably replace tiles with more of the ones you want. 2 stars clears the whole board, but I hardly ever get to do that. I take time to look at board to work out if I can make a Star.

Horrible puzzle grids, way too much food used up. Not liking this puzzle at all!!!!

This is the same for me. The few times I've gotten two starts they were not near each other nor anyway to get them near each other.

Same here, not only the high food costs, but the rewards seem to need more to complete them and the puzzles themselves seem to be arranged so you can not get good moves. I've just decided to get what I get. I will keep going to try for the mythic but I am not hoping or expecting to get to it.

So far the only good things I've gotten from the puzzle are 1500 maze coins & about 1.6M food. I am currently working on another 1500 coins (323/331 to go) and the Green Meadows dragon (619/613 to go). I will probably have to skip a lot of missions if I want both unless I do the puzzle moves path & it pays well.

Puzzle map layout is more difficult as I keep running out of moves. Almost never happened before, but constantly now with forced moves. How much is the Mythic now? Debating if I want to continue spending gems.

The puzzle map this time around is by far the worst I’ve seen yet. The patterns make it almost impossible to get any decent chain reactions and you can forget about getting a star. You know they screwed up when you get 4 reshuffles on a single level because there are no possible matches! Add in the ridiculously high cost to obtain the rewards and I can’t help but sit here and feel like the makers are yet again just trying to squeeze every last nickel out of their players. Just awful.

@lewisjw68 Burned through all my moves and still stuck on Green Meadows. Going to sit it out and wait for Drato to go away as the high 600+/600+ is wasting more moves. Not possible to make it to the Mythic this time.

Agree, puzzle layout is horrible, getting all the time message "reordering" as no move is possible. 4 quests when only two are available, 5 PVPs. There is nothing you can do for free. After the tedious breeding/hatching of last heroic race, this time this is worst.

This level is just to waste my moves isn't it
Already shuffling after 2 moves

I am considering giving up this puzzle as It is just ridiculous, more gaps in some than puzzle. To SP, this will drive people away and ruin your game, get real. All other companies giving things away due to world issues, not SP.

... speaking of world issues ... this too shall pass ... until then: stay safe and healthy all you DM’s (and SP, also) !!!!

No way to connect to dragon city servers this morning.

Yeah I think their servers cannot handle so many people on at once. I have had it crash on me several times when trying to switch accounts or watch the tv. BTW I do not care for these timers in the TV, so even though I need food not going to bother with that for this cycle.

This puzzle isle is proving to be too tedious. I need to take my mind off stress not add more, so my goal for this has dropped to Green Meadows and any maze coins I can get.

For the maze, I will be semi-happy to walk away with Bee, Daaisy and Fertility and just use my puzzle moves to pick up whatever resources I can. I am not going to do the Nisse path, it will be a waste of my coins.

I will throw 150 gems max trying for Bananoss but no real hope of that being a success either.

If people thought this pair of events are bad. The Dragon TV videos that started with this event takes the cake. I couldn't think of a more stupid idea than waiting hours between videos.

I vote that the developers and everyone involved in making this game, play the Dragon TV videos not stop themselves for the next week just to see how stupid it is. Come-on waiting more than 2 hours from 250k to 300k.

It may be just one round of videos. But its definately not possible to watch 3 sets of Dragon TV slots anymore.

Food for thoughts, since they given us a chance to get DR keys in the Aqua Path, do you think they would stop giving us the 5 keys a piece free keys?

And re: Dragon TV, wasn't it every 6-hours before you can get the next one months ago? Isn't it actually better in terms of rewards?
300,000 food after 2 hours should be good in my opinion - seeing we actually get less in the S-food pack and we pay for it via maze coins.

... 300 / 400 items for 1.5K path coins ... as expensive as the dragons in the puzzle ... dragons or coins, dragons or coins ...

I am finding the puzzle island quite frustrating this time. The grids themselves are so full of holes that it is difficult to make matches. And what are they thinking with that one with single strips on each side?!
Also the numbers of matches required is way bigger, I still am far away from getting the epic dragon, I'm usually farther ahead than this by now.
For the maze, I haven't moved at all. I'm saving for nisse tomorrow since i don't have it and it gives puzzle moves, and honey collector for it and the food. Will decide what next later.

Indeed puzzle levels are ridiculous this time, it never happened to me to need to reshuffle because of no possible moves. And costs for maze coins are up to 4x as higher than last event.

Guys? It's not rocket science buddies, you won't get money this way, you are just pissing us off and making people be less likely to keep playing, which means that you will loose money, not get more.

Has anyone figured any strategy for the maze?iI would go for root dragon(he is one of my most wanted dragons) but it seems I won't be able to collect the coins required from the puzzle island to get him.this time tasks are way more difficult than they used to be.

Seems like many are in agreement that these events are trash.... just when the world goes into home seclusion and actually turn to Apps to pass the time, SP decides to make it less palatable. No problem... way more apps out there i can play.

I know that we are in uncertain times but to be fair to SP these events are programmed and planned a few months in advance. So these were actually done and ready long before Covid-19 made it's appearance.

However with that said it would have been nice if the DC team did something like other games have done, like give out freebies to help compensate the pain of being isolated for Social Distancing. Unfortunately DC does not have any features like ML that would allow them to quickly put something together at the spur of the moment. Though they could have done some easy breeds for it or perhaps specialty Alliance chests. Hopefully they are putting some thought into it and will release or give away something before the pandemic is over.

... while this may be true, it’s still a programming thing and most good programmers are able to make quick tweaks quite easily ...
say, maybe reducing the number of items needed for dragons in the puzzle ... or more moves for tasks in the puzzle ...
quick fixes that could be implemented in a very short time and then changed back for the next event (or left at the lowered amounts for the next event, just say’n)
