Hey so we're actually getting coins for freebies island now too, they're guaranteed ones as well.

Maybe they are giving us coins through freebies island rather than happy hours.
That would rather stink for PC only players.

@TeamTerrier True...

As of this post, the countdown for the Shadow Collection (to get Goofy Dragon) is at 18 hours and 51 minutes left. As others have mentioned on this thread, on previous similar quests, Happy Hour does not happen during the Mini-Collection period.

But has there any Happy Hour happened already that I might have missed?

Nope none so far...

@Nynaevelan : Thank you for confirming.

Less than 12 hours before the Shadow Collection ends, still no Happy Hour.

@terrencedg Shadow collection... Even if we have a Happy Hour... we can not get them for free. You need 40700 coins to get them . I collected 9690 until now. I would have to buy 31010 coins to finish that collection......

Not only on the island but u need 10 decorations (8 from the tournaments) but we can't even get the dragons for the tournaments till tournament is almost over

Unfortunately if you are a newer player or a player that does not already have the dragons, then yes it would appear the tourneys are impossible to complete, especially without rushing with gems.

It's getting expensive n I don't spend real money so what is the point of playing anymore

There are plenty of reasons to play and to play for free. Of course to do that requires patience because there are going to be many features/dragons that you will not get the first time around without paying. If you are expecting to get everything for free, than that is an unrealistic goal and you will be very frustrated and angry. Most dragons come around again, some take longer than others but they do. If that is something that you cannot accept, then this is probably not the right game for you.

@Nynaevelan Do you know of any online games that offer all of their features totally free? I’m just curious because I’m not aware of any.

Me either.

Of goodness no, there are no free games out there that are totally free. All of them give some free things, some you have to really work for and some you just have to pay for. Everyone decides at what level they want to play. Dragon City is more generous than most in offering ways to earn free gems to purchase "upgrades"

Dragonvale is pretty much completely free. I get gems from 5 other players on a daily basis. I also get 5 free gems every 24hrs with a tourney.
As of present I have: 4,489 gems, 389 of 398 dragons available the ones that I'm missing are dragons that are from the Halloween event (4 nonevent that were released this past week) and I'm working on getting them now. I also am maxed out on level and have 16 of 21 islands and 3 wishes that will get me anything in game that I want whether it's dragons, another island, decorations, etc or even one of the countless themes available for the islands (I currently have all 20 available some dups) oh and 11billion in coins with 79+ million in food. Not one dime has been spent on the game to accomplish all of this. Oh and then there's the daily rewards for logging in that ranges from 10k+ free food, to gems to free dragons.

So yes they are out there.

Wow you are utilizing your resources better than me. While i do not have all that, DV is the game I've spent the least on. But that is more about me rushing things. Of course DV is also my most boring and least engaging that i play. That's a lot of gems, you never spend them?

Mini group - 4 dragons, time limit, 5 days. Coins needed = 37,950. Coins from 5x3 = 15 pools = 9000. So you needed to buy (real money!) 28,950 coins to complete this "mini collection"! Talk about being taken for a ride.... Work out for yourselves how much you'd need to spend.
In fact, it's even worse: If you collect all coins from all pools over the Shadow Island's 17 days, you get 30,600 coins. That's still not enough for the "mini collection" we were encouraged to get over 5 days!!!
If anybody's actually crazy enough to want to collect all the dragons, all you need is a mere 185,000 coins (I might be out by a thousand or two, but it really doesn't matter considering the maximum no. of coins you can collect). Work out how much it would cost you to buy the remaining >150,000 coins....

Oh yes I've spent lots of them at one time I've had over 5k but there was a few things I wanted that cost gems (island themes & I bought the last part needed for Gaia's nest) so I used them to purchase them. I like that I can have the islands match the themes of my habitats. I also have the 2 small islands that were rewards for a couple of events. I also have all 4 of the major dragons: Kronos (he's at level5), Gaia, Tiamat and Bahamut. Oh yeah and I forgot you can get gems/food/gold by sending dragons to do tasks with Kronos and Gaia's temples. Duh even forgot about the 12 monthly dragons that you can get 1 gem a week for and then the gemstone dragon that's 1 a week, the dragon race sometimes yields gems. I have all shrines too each earned not bought. Once this event is over (Halloween usually runs about a month) I will go back to getting egg pedestals to display. I'm behind on this goal as I only have 321 of the 394 available but I'm slowly getting there.

I really like DV's slower pace as it's nice break from all the events that DC shoves down your throat. I also like that most dragons in DV is breedable (even from time to time the event ones) and then you have BEB (Bring 'Em Back) event that happens once a yr and sometimes twice. During this event (for those that don't know) any limited time dragon can be bred during this time so it gives you a chance to grab ones you miss out on. I also like that BackFlip listens to it's user base. We wanted more islands and they gave them to us and for coins to boot. We wanted themes for the islands and we got those too some are free during events and some have to be bought with gems but none are insanely priced that you can't get them with just the free ingame gems.

What's going on with the Pungent Dragon. The listed Stinger as new when it is not. Should the Pungent Dragon be in place of the Stinger Dragon?

@Armistice why is the Pungent Dragon not available on this island?

@seanm421 first, please do not double post the same content. Second, obviously they have different plans for Pungent. But its a moot point because Pungent or Stinger it would still cost to get it.

Actually the rift isn't that bad, just breed until you hit 1500 then stop for the day. Buy islands and don't clear any fog/clouds and then upgrade them only after it costs more to buy then to upgrade. I'll send you breed hints if you want in a chat message I have all of them unlocked.

Yes please because breeding is very iffy which means I think I only have 2 of the new ones and a bunch of the same repeats. At this point I am not really actively trying anything in the rift, just clearing and collecting as I go. In orde not to take over this topic anymore, we can continue this discussion via chat.

So who has broken down and started moving & who is still waiting / hoping for a Happy Hour??

I fall into both catagories. I broke down and completed the Iceling {spent a few bucks for coins to complete } cause I needed it for the first tournament to get pumpkins. But since then I'm trying to hold out for a Happy Hour. I've accumulated 11,590 coins and they are starting to call to me to move. Still 7 days 13 hours to go.

I just know as soon as I breakdown and spend coins moving there will be a Happy Hour the next day.

@TeamTerrier i have moved, and claimed Iceling. Still debating if i will buy for Frightening. Stopped hoping for HH.

I got a glitched happy hour banner for a second when I opened the quest yesterday, didn't get a screenshot though, so, idk if it's a sign or not.

Guys please answer ,
Is that a Dual Egg Dual Egg Info
in Iceling's way?
Thats overpowered its like 2 in 1.

@IWantBarbatos Yes. It is Dual.

@Nynaevelan said in Shadow Island:

@Bettina-Löffler said in Shadow Island:

@Nynaevelan There is only one field with two fights. I think we had to buy + fight last time.

OK thanks so I will just collect for now and decide after Iceling if I will go after Frightening or not, most likely I will but we shall see by then, I may change my mind again. Hmm there is a Halloween event coming on the 21rst so that may decide if the ugly Frightening will join the family.

I just rechecked the numbers. I got many coins from watching trailers. I have 20540 now. With seven more days I can collect 12600 more . That will be 33140 in total. So with happy hour in the end it could be possible to get Iceling and Frightening for free.

Was there a happy hour that I just missed?

When I logged into the game on FB, it flashes a "Happy Hour: 1m 40s" badge for a second or so. Strange thing is, though, it doesn't count down but instead just disappears. And, if I re-enter the Shadow Island, it show the same time (1m40s) again and again.

Here is a screenshot:

And another strange thing is that it shows the remaining time for the Shadow Island as the same, 1m40s. It then shows the expected time (6 days ...) and the badge disappears.

Does it means that SP is going to have this HH at the last 100 seconds of the Shadow Island? That's kind of brutal, especially in the US timezones.

Or is it just a glitch?

@Stilor Maybe one is coming that phantom post has shown up before in other events.

We still don't have a Happy Hour, right?
Not a single one happened that I missed?

@terrencedg said in Shadow Island:

Not a single Happy Hour that I've seen - beginning to think there won't be any

@TeamTerrier No there wasn`t any. I am still waiting.

Two days remaining on this event. I am still hoping for a Happy Hour within the last 24 hours.

Considering we're getting a lot of coins from the freebees island again, I actually wonder if I DO can get the Frightening Dragon. I already have the Iceling right now (which i needed for battle) but I have about 11k coins again. Hmm.

I also check every day in an hour or so, still haven't seen happy hour myself too.

Just gonna wait a little more for happy hour... Even though I feel it's not gonna happen. x(

I am going to be @1100 short for Frightening, thanks to the videos so I think I will be buying some coins to finish him off. I've come to far to literally be sitting on the last spot in front of him to leave him behind. Of course I am going to wait until the last possible hour or two just in case they do throw a Happy Hour in there but given we only have one more day, I am thinking they probably won't throw one in there. This is really disappointing since neither Frightening or Iceling is a legend.

@Nynaevelan no way I will buy frightning. That's exactly what they want us to do. I won't condone unfair behavior.

Thanks to the videos it looks like I will have just enough to get Frightening, although I will probably have to give up a little sleep.

I'm stuck at 1010 coins (3 more steps) which are like...3,400 coins in total left? because the next ones are 1000 or so each step according to the picture I think. I only have 950 coins ;_;
