I created a topic in this sub-forum about these new dragons from the maze event. It seems that on my game there is no biomass neither nuclear dragons.

Instead I have wave dragon and predator x dragon in their place.

I added that to the guide. They are running a test. Those who dont have the new dragons now will be able to get them later.

I am very, very annoyed, I purchased the maze coin chest as I usually do because I always go for the three new dragons plus the puzzle and flight stamps paths. If I had known about this "'test"" I could have saved my money since I can get the three limited paths for free. Not only does this test cost me money I could have saved but now this maze is just a waste of collecting and waiting and waiting until the paths that I want open up.

@nynaevelan I agree with you. I don’t have the new dragons either. But my Taterbug account does. In the events calendar it says nothing about wave or predator x instead of. I’m not happy with this “test”.

A friend from facebook sent a message to support and they answered saying that both new dragons will be "given" AFTER the event, but they didn't explained exactly how.

Would wave and predador x "magically" transformed on those dragons? Will they give for free after the event? Have no idea, but either way, I hope this "test" is for something nice they gonna implement.

So far with all these changes in the last couple of months they have been very beneficial for the players, specially for F2P and low/medium spenders. So, I do think they deserve our patience to see how this unfolds. And again, just hoping gonna be something nice.

I actually seem to have a different combination to what is written here, so there must be more than 2 options: my maze is showing Wave and Nuclear! So no Biomass, but also not Predator X.

Edit: I am on iOS/iPhone.

I am sure that will not happen.

I have Wave and Nuclear in my maze.

I have Biomass & Nuclear. I don't know if what platform you use has any effect on what dragons you get in the maze or if it's totally random. I am on Windows.

Platform makes no difference.

All I can say is they took the fun out of this maze for me. But the silver lining is......they gave me a chance to get some rest and time to concentrate on something other than DC. I don't care for surprises, especially ones like this. One would say "give them the benefit of the doubt" but that is sooooooo hard to do based on past experiences.

But it is just Solar for me in this maze. And since there's nothing else I am aiming for in the puzzle Isle I can just concentrate on the new dragon and orbs for it. I don't have to worry about getting maze coins or energy sources. In the runner Isle I only ever aim for the dragon.

Edit: I just had a morbid thought. I wonder if this "test" also means we will not get the new dragon in the puzzle or runner islands....I can just see my blood pressure rising.

I luckily have all 3 new dragons available. Despite this, I want Demolition. I may pick up Biomass if I have the coins. I have all the old dragons except Demolition as well.

This test is worrying. I'll make sure to say if anything is missing in the puzzle/runner.

I‘m sorry, I‘m lost. What exactly is the test? And what are the new dragons we are not getting here?

What the test is, is anyone's guess. But this event is supposed to have Biomass, Nuclear and Solar as the new dragons. Some people have all three, some have only two and some have only one. So I am guessing there are 3 different "test" groups. Apparently those that do not have all three new dragons will be given some other type of option to obtain them after the event ends. As I am one of those who are missing two of the three all I know is if I am given the option to pay for them or an option to obtain them that is any harder than what i would have needed to do to achieve them in the maze that will seriously change how I play going forward. The maze is the one event I usually buy coins for, which I did this morning. Sadly I did not look at it before making that purchase, something I will not be doing in the future.

I was wondering if we need to get the "replacement" dragons to be able to get the new ones at the end of the event. Or if we should save coins in case they put them back at the very last day.

Oh boy, I see an anxiety crises for next few days

Seems like they hired some eager beaver clueless about the game/player dynamics

@nynaevelan Thanks for the explanation, understood now. So you have only Solar in your maze, I for example have Nuclear and Solar and others also have Biomass.
I don’t necessarily always know which dragons are new, as I still don’t have lots of dragons. I just knew Solar was new since it is in the starting page pictures.

You dont have to claim Wave or Predator X to get Biomass or Nuclear. If they dont show up in your maze now you will be able to get them after the maze eneded.

@bettina-löffler But how does that work- that means if you have the new ones in the maze now you have to complete the paths to get them, but if you don’t have them you can spend the coins elsewhere and still get the dragons?! I am confused.

As far as I know anything you have in the maze now continue as you would for any other maze. For those that do not have any of the new dragons we will find out when the maze ends and the event featuring those dragons begins. I am guessing this test is because they are testing a new event type and do not want to blow up the system by ""testing" it on the entire community. This will probably be similar to how they introduced the runner islands.

@nynaevelan Well, now I'm officially excited kkkk

A new event type could be cool, hope is a fun one.

So I’m just going to collect coins until solar is available. Because I have all the dragons in the maze.

Same here other than the puzzle moves and flight stamps, all three paths for free.

Remember when they had duplicate dragons for both maze and runner island? That will probably be the case here. The new dragons not showing up here will maybe show up in runner island.... just a guess.

I was wondering the same thing, they will switch them out.

I've got Wave and Nuclear in my maze island. Actually I wouldn't have noticed that Biomass is missing if I hadn't checked on the chat here. I always only go for one or two of the L dragons plus the puzzle island coins / flight stamps paths. I would like to get Crystal Carrier so that I can empower the one I already have, but I think his path is way too expensive.
I haven't decided yet if I'll get Venus Goddess or Solar instead, they're both not very strong. Probably Venus Goddess because I could empower her if I got a copy.
Demolition is a category 6 and not worth mentioning.

I really hope there will be a new event type, I would love that!

I just got Biomass. The egg looks sort of like an ear of corn.

This this came through on my Facebook feed. Last thing I bought? Maze coins! So where is my lifetime supply? I'm not seeing them. I didn't bother answering the question on FB. I didn't want to try to explain maze coins.

lolol

I was not paying much attention to the maze since I have other things going on and knew it's around for 10 days so I'll worry about it later....yeah, happened to look and I want the Voltage dragon both because I think he looks cool and I want all those maze puzzles, so with about 8 hours to go and about 30 min before I close the game for the night, there I am getting me a dragon.

@tante you have 8 days left in the maze, not 8 hours.

@susan-mclaughlin said in ***Energy Source Maze, Jan 28 - Feb 8, 2021***:

But Voltage had only 8 hours left.

Ha, yes, I meant just for the Voltage, not the entire maze. Now I'm in a time crunch trying to figure out if I want the Eclipse or not except this time I fear I may hem and haw the time away rather than not realize.

Which path has the best rewards? Dont know enough about any of the dragons so I'd prefer to use my coins on better path rewards

It depends on what you are looking for. Right now, the runner is going so I'm going to get the Pyroclastic, which has flight stamps. I've looked before to see what chests are in the different mazes to see what paths I want to take. Sometimes I just go for dragons that I like. A good use of time would be getting all the Energy Chests so if you want to focus on prizes, I would do that.

With around 20.000 coins, I started and walked the Venus goddess path, as it looked good and I did not have her.
And then I almost missed the „yay“ moment, because I was so sure of food in the black chest...

This one is new for me, and one I really wanted as well. 🥰 Now I‘ll just wait for Solar and I am done and happy with the maze.
I just wish I had someone to do the runs for me... still hate them!

Congrats. I'm still waiting, other than the puzzle and flight stamps paths I've had nothing to do. This "test" of theirs has made this maze very boring for me.

Oh, right, I did the puzzle and runner paths as well. Had already forgotten again .

On the last step of Demolition, I know she's cat. 5 but she looks cool and I don't believe she's been offered since her release in an event. I always pick those ones up that never seem to appear.

After her I'll get some more energy. I should be able to get one chest. Even if I don't get 120 heroic orbs, I should be able to summon with the orbs I already have or empower if it is one I have.

@_thespacebeing_
I just reached 40 energy cells, and got 80 orbs of High Purity. And luckily, that gives me 105 orbs of it in total so I can summon even without joker orbs.

Got Demolition!
Also, I got enough energy for a chest, and I'm now at exactly 100 orbs of Nucleus.

@titania ... decided to go for Solar then came back to grab some resources and went along the Venus Goddess path too ... and i, too, was so sure of food in the black chest when i did a double take:

ICE CREAM FOR ALL !!!
...
and for Nyn:

I’m curious, has anyone gotten a blue energy cell?

@deedee68 nope

@deedee68 said in ***Energy Source Maze, Jan 28 - Feb 8, 2021***:

I’m curious, has anyone gotten a blue energy cell?

I read somewhere the percentage for those is .001% so I would be very surprised to see anyone get one. More importantly has anyone purchased one? Or gotten the Solar offer before ever claiming the Solar dragon? I had it this morning and was very tempted to buy it to get the orbs.

@deedee68 I didn't get a blue one.
@Nynaevelan I got the solar offer but didn't buy the dragon.

@nynaevelan No blue cell of course.
But the same also happened with Eolic, it was on sale for 400 gems before the run was over. I was tempted because then I could have skipped the runs.... but I just don’t have enough gems to throw them at a sale like this!

I am thinking about 30 gems for an energy chest though- I ended at 51 and really wanted to get to 55. I have one more quest chest, IF it should contain 3 cells, then I will buy the chest. But if just one...hm.

Edit: Of course I only got one cell from the quest.
And bought a chest, which also just held one... to make it short: I spent 90 gems (3 chests) to get to the 55 cells.
Surprisingly, it was actually worth it for me:

I don’t own the Pure Titan yet and really wanted it.

@dragonlove So cool, our lucky day! Ice cream, red wine or whatever makes us happy for all!

Edit: I don’t know what is going on, but yesterday I also got a Reaper dragon somewhere in a Lucky Legendary chest, AND today in the first dark chest in the puzzle:

I NEVER get anything but food from dark, light, primal etc. chests. SP must be feeling very generous at the moment!!
