With one, maybe two, collections left for most players at this point to obtain enough Kyuubi orbs to have the chance to summon the Legacy dragon which thousands of players have been working on for many months...

I think the devs need to implement some sort of feature which would allow players to use gems when the timer concludes to obtain the required orbs to participate in the upcoming breeding event.

For example, this could be done in bundles of 15 orbs, as that is how they were distributed in the event. So, 15 orbs would be "x." 30 orbs would be "x" and so on.

Once again, the ability to get the orbs is totally left to chance. It is worse, even, than the disastrous showing for the successful breeding of Evanescent, which had such low odds (I'd be interested to know exactly what they were) BUT at least with that, one did have the ability to use gems to speed and try new breed attempts. An attempt to try and control one's destiny if you will.

My son, who has been playing this game since it came out, does not have the Legacy Dragon and has been working constantly with pure/pure breeds since at least February. He has been stuck on the cups since that time, unable to progress.

He has invested quite a bit of money in the game over the years and has become absolutely disgusted with the fact that this dragon is so impossible to get. He was thrilled when this breeding event came out and was looking forward to getting the Kyuubi dragon... He has one collection left and is 15 orbs short.

It discourages players when walls of this sort gate them from progressing. And it infuriates me, personally, to know that there will be thousands of people who will be unable to even participate in the breeding event if they need the Legacy because they simply had junky luck.

Please consider the ability to buy additional required orbs.

Because, again, even if required orbs are obtained and the Kyuubi is summoned, all players come up against another gate in the actual breeding event.

The orbs would be a way to ensure participation. They would bring in a bit of revenue. They would give players the feeling that they had a chance. That is all good for the game.

And, speaking of good for the game, let's hope the Legacy breeding odds have been tweaked a bit to the advantage of the player this time. Not so dreadful.

Happy players = successful game.

Ummm funny you should start this topic, as of 22 minutes ago the Piston and Kyuubi were added to the orbs shop. As for your last sentence I was just thinking the same thing, and in all honesty if I didn't have Legacy then I would just continue with the pure/pure combo because these breeding events are never in the player's favor and this short breeding event would just annoy and anger me. With all that typed, I still plan to try it just to see if I can get any to use to recall and empower.

Interesting! I just checked my updates and I do have it ready so I will install and see what the store offers.

UPDATE: I updated along with my son and the orbs are there!

This is a fantastic thing they have done speaking specifically to providing players the ability to obtain these limited-time orbs.

Great move!

Like your son, I too have been trying to trying to obtain the legacy dragon required for the quest. Constant pure + pure breeds in the breeders and my hatchery filling up more pures! I have had a couple 50 hour breeds, but unfortunately not a legacy. So too was very excited when I saw the upcoming breeding event.

I obtained the piston dragon relatively quickly during 2056 event, but haven't been so successful getting the orbs for the Kyuubi dragon from the freebies videos, with only 30 orbs. And to my question. I know there's a limited number of orbs one can purchase from the store for a certain dragon, does anybody know what is the maximum number of Kyuubi orbs one can purchase? Or if the orbs for the Kyuubi dragon refills once the maximum has been reached? I know I am able to purchase the Kyuubi dragon for 210 gems (or 255 with gold and food) but it works out more cost effective to obtain the Kyuubi dragon though the orbs.

I am reluctant to spend this amount of gems for a dragon I don't really want, to get another dragon I might not even get! But I really want to progress through the game, and not having the legacy dragon is holding me back.

I just did a test in airplane mode and it allows you to purchase 7 sets, I am not sure if that will reset and allow you to buy more once the shop renews or if you can only buy the 70 orbs. Assuming the cost does not increase if you need more than a few it although you would save more gems buying the orbs over buying the egg, you would need more time because you would have to summon it and then hatch it. It might be more cost effective to just buy the egg, at least you would know that you would have it ready in time. But of course there are still 4 days or so so you have time to summon and hatch it as long as it is done today or tomorrow. But like V.1 stated, this is a lot of gems for something that you may not be successful breeding.

@V.1 Others answered to your rant about the possibility to get Kyuubi and then breed legacy. I will ignore that. If your son was playing since the game came out he could have gotten many legacy dragons. It was first breedable with special common dragons and was also for free in the recruitment tavern for years. It is much more difficult these days but still possible. Good luck to everyone who is trying to get it.

@DanD
Wait until the last, or second to last, ad sequence from Freebie Island. From experience, you will be gifted the ORBS you need. In fact I betcha you will get a 100 ORB chest at some point. However it will come, way too late.

@Bettina-Löffler

Wasn't a rant but good try.

The point was that the breeding event is pointless unless both dragons are obtained, and when it comes down to pure luck to obtain one, that is rotten. I was asking for a way for players to purchase remaining Kyuubi orbs who might want to do the breeding event. The devs had a plan already for that so it wasn't an idiotic idea.

That is all. I'll ignore your inability to focus on that aspect of the post.

@DanD Just want to double check with you.. Did you meant that you have a option to by Kyuubi orbs by gems and also gold&tomatoes? Cause I have only gems as a payment currency?
What platform are you using ?

@Mr.Mcgregor
Nothing like that.. just had a last try.. and totally nothing 0 orbs... got just 30 in total.. didn't missed any single video.. and just an hour ago noticed that orb shop is open.. what a coincidence.. orbs suddenly appired in the shop available to buy.. but not so available to obtain by watching videos anymore..it's just so obvious... using this situation simply..by making us to spend gems to obtain does missing orbs.. instead of giving us a chance to obtain them from videos as it was advertised in the first place..and only for a try.. no guarantee you get it.. why there was no any info what so ever from the beginning that missing orbs also gonna be available to buy in the shop..For me It was clearly misleading and I wouldn't even put any hopes or wouldn't be bothered about this breeding event..
if I new I have to by missing orbs..
give out 130 gems..so just to have a try.. for something may not even be successful breeding... no thanks..
you can try yourselves if you want ..
and specially after I already spent all my gems for heroic run speedups.. instead I would spend all my attention just on heroic race..but not stressing out to be ready..if I'll get piston ,if I'll get Kyuubi in time ..what odds to breed gonna be...and bla bla..
It's just so disrespectful to the players.. specifically does who was desperately trying ..to breed pure+pure..with possibility less then a 1%.. up to or more than a year..not able to continue simple quest battles... didn't expected such outcome at all..
..

First of all, thanks all for your responses.

This morning was the last batch of the freebie videos available to get the Kyuubi dragon. With only receiving 30 orbs so far, I wasn't too hopeful. Much to my surprise three out of the fifteen rewards were Kyuubi orbs! Making my total up to 75. Not quite the 100 orb total, Mr.Mcgregor, but not far off!

Nynaevelan, I had forgotten that I would need to do both the summoning and hatching, and forgot the summoning process took so long, 1 day and 7 hours! But I worked out that purchasing the 3 lots of 10 orbs from the store at 18 gems a time, plus the speed up costs for the summoning and hatching was still cheaper than just purchasing the dragon egg alone. So that's what I did!

I have the Piston and Kyuubi dragons, both at level 15, in my breeding tree. First attempt was not a success, 5 hour breeding time. But still 3 days left of the event. I will post once the event is over if I have been successful or not.

Also, Aivars Biveinis when I mentioned about purchasing the Kyuubi for gold and food. What I meant was you can purchase the Kyuubi dragon alone for 210 gems. Or the Kyuubi dragon, 14 million gold and 1.8 million food for 255 gems as a combo deal. But I would rather save and spend gold on dragons rather than gems! I'm on iOS by the way.

And I do agree with what you're saying. The events in the last couple of weeks are trying to force people's hands into purchasing gems. The long wait times during the heroic race between battles and requiring quests, with even longer wait times in between each battle forcing players to spend gems to speed up the process. The 2056 pixel dragon wasn't possibly to claim without spending money on the green coins. And now the legacy breeding event, where it was probably impossible to obtain the Kyuubi dragon without spending gems to top up your collection of already collected orbs. Or just buying the egg out right. And even if you did get the Kyuubi through the orbs, with a 1 day 7 hour wait time on summoning and another 36 hour wait time on hatching, the breeding event would be pretty much over.

I do hope the upcoming events give players the opertunity to collect the dragons required for the events. But saying that, there are players who spend gems when they fall short, and unfortunately I am one of those players.

For those of you interested, as I said I was going to post how I got on in the Piston and Kyuubi dragon breeding event, the quest for the Legacy dragon.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I had 75 Kyuubi orbs so had to spend 54 gems getting to the 100 for a summon. I then sped up the summoning, which was 21 gems and also sped up the hatching, which was 11. So 86 gems just to get the Kyuubi, but still cheaper than 210 gems just for the egg.

Over the 3-4 remaining days of the event I constantly bred the Piston and Kyuubi dragons, and sped up the breeds when I had a free slot in the hatchery. Almost half of the breeds were 5 hours, but there were a couple for 43 hours, so they were more expensive.

I was making a note at each breed so I knew how many times it took me to get the Legacy, except I stopped counting when I got to 10 as by that point I thought it wasn't going to happen. But I still kept count of how many gems I spent.

When I started playing this morning I noticed that there were only 22 minutes left on the event. I sped up the remainder of the current breed to have one more go. And what showed up was a 50 hour breed time! I got the Legacy!

So, I spent 86 gems to get the Kyuubi, and a further 75 gems to speed up the breeds. A total of 161 gems spent to get the Legacy, and about 12-13 breeds. Not sure if it was because the successful breed was in the last hour of the event, so I had a higher chance; or I was just very fortunate.

@DanD

Congrats on breeding the Legacy. Did you breed any interesting dragons in your attempt?

@V.1 Afraid not, every dragon I breed from the Piston + Kyuubi combination I already have. The dragons I mainly got were Archangel, War, Pure Flame and Pure Metal. Apart from the Legacy, no new ones.

@DanD

That's too bad. When a breed attempt in these events results in something new and interesting it can lessen the pain of using gems to speed up. :) I, too,was lucky enough to breed the Legacy, but I'm still going to keep it up continually with the Pure/Pure to see whatever comes my way, despite the slow going it will be. I hope the orb videos are more kind to you in the future so you won't need to use as many gems to obtain the dragons needed to participate in the events.

@V.1 Congratulations with getting Legacy..
Unfortunately I'm still stuck with my Quest fights who knows for how longer.. seems like forever again..
And this opportunity I wouldn't really call for opportunity cause amount of gems you have to spend for something may not even be successful ..Didn't get Kyuubi eather.. cause of not enough gems and from videos got just 30 orbs.. 130gems to spend just for missing orbs.. and as you said + all does speedups.. not worth it...
By the way to buy the legacy egg cost 2500 gems instead 210 y mentioned.. at least what I see in the shop...

@V.1 Congratulations to you too!

I'm just happy I was able to get the Legacy during this event! After being unsuccessful so many times, I thought I was going to spend that amount of gems and still not get the Legacy!
There was one upside and that's speeding up the breeding did help me during the heroic race.

It's definitely worth still breeding Pure + Pure as once you have completed the goal for getting the Legacy, there are new goals to get the Mirror, Crystal, Wind, Nirobi & Droconos dragons. Each of them with the same small chance from Pure + Pure. I'm not sure if they are required for quest battles or not. I certainly will continue, but I'm going to have a break from these breeds for a little while!

Usually I have no problem with the freebie videos. I normally get enough to summon the dragon, and more! Usually I can rewatch videos every 8 hours, so three lots videos a day. But this time I only had two lots of videos I could watch in a day, they seemed to be available every 12 hours rather than 8. Not sure if it was the same for you?

And even though I did spend 161 gems to get the Legacy, if the egg was available for 250/300 gems in the store I would have bought it for that price. I have bought other legendary dragons for that price in the past. So if anything, I had a discount! ;)
