A few months ago, somewhere between september and october, I kinda grew sick of the game. Depression and real life began to drain my will to play as well and I took a hiatus. I’ve been bombarded with mobile game ads during my time away from the game which made me think about the low quality of mobile games, and made me return to DC just to see if it was as bad as I remembered.
First off, I instinctively tapped on my breeding structures, and having forgotten what I’d been breeding for, just hit rebreed. 50 hours! A legendary! Probably just another legacy or droconos or something else I already had, but having apathy towards my gem-spending and much curiosity, I decided to speed up anyways.

It was a wind dragon.
When I first started playing 7 years ago, that dragon was my only goal in the game. Breeding nonstop for 2 and a half years straight gave me duplicates of every other legend, but no wind. Now returning after a hiatus, when I cared the absolute least about the game, when I had no clue what I was doing, was when the RNG gods decided that now was the perfect time to give me my greatest draconic desire.
This was the greatest homecoming gift I could have asked for, and after finding the arenas rid of hacked VIPs (and other stupidly high level dragons), the limited-time offers and microtransactions becoming more tolerable, an event that seemed much less punishing than usual and video offers that were actually worth the brain-numbingly stupid mobile game ads, I welcome it with open arms and am happy to return to DC.
There were, however, far fewer dragons added than expected, an some of them, I noticed, were reskins. I also noticed some glaring anatomy problems. I’m starting to become better at art, improving a lot in the past year or so, and I’m considering returning to my previous aspiration of becoming a DC artist. So maybe I’ll be able to become an artist by my next birthday and help bring more dragons to the game.

I just want some of the old dragons like golem and robot to be available, since you never find them anywhere. And cheaper land, too. And black friday/cyber monday would be a great week to finally release Modern!

I think the gold limits on the earlier habitats are in place to keep newbies from advancing too rapidly. Once you have a habitat at level 4 or 5, though, there’s no reason not to take that low limit off, since you’d be far past the point where those restrictions would apply to you. They should definitely raise the caps on terra and flame, since those are two of the most common elements and they are handy for housing a variety of dragons. I also would like a raise on nature and sea, I find those ones very versatile as well as beautiful.

For adding the restrictions on the general chat. I was sick of seeing kids sharing information and saying and doing things they shouldn’t be doing, good thing it’s now 13+. Can’t tell you how many 9 year olds used to be spamming and doing questionable stuff on there, thanks for making the general chat more filtered and restricted. It’s much more tame and the people seem to have gotten more mature.

@vlad-dracul I’ve also seen some big youtubers who obviously hack. Dragons at level 99, in the wrong habitats, obtained before official release, etc. If these people are the DC representation on youtube, this might encourage or even normalize hacking if nothing is done about it.

I did a bit of recon in airplane mode and was able to find the coordinates for all the pieces of the dragon. Am I allowed to post them? One or two may be a space off.

Are we not going to mention that you need overshadow to breed the seism fae and it’s not even available?

@gangtie I got a drawing tablet for my birthday 4 months ago, that’s what I drew these with. Good to see you like the drawings, though!

I couldn’t help but notice that a lot of dragons (coyote, friendship, everest, zhu, grove, heaven and gel barrier, just to name a few) all have some sort of critter holding onto or flying around them that don’t seem to actually be considered other dragons. I wondered why these creatures were there and if they helped in any way.

Familiars are said to be spirits or demons taking the form of an animal, person or entity that assists in magic or daily life in some way. These little creatures surrounding the dragons might be spirits summoned to assist the dragon in combat, magic and general life, much like a familiar. In some media, familiars and spirits are also said to be tied to those who summon them and will weaken or die if they leave their summoner (if they are able to leave them at all.) This helps explain why they seem to be so attached to the dragons, as they would die if they left the dragon’s side.
I think it’s reasonable to say that some dragons summon spirits, fairies, animals and demons to act as companions and enhance their magical abilities. This is giving me tons of ideas for potential dragon designs. I just think it’s a cool idea that these dragons are accompanied by other creatures.

@arranos Great to see you have your account back!
