"The waters around the Dragon Isles began to bubble as a long-forgotten island emerged from the depths! A magical bridge formed to connect it to the mainland, crafted from an ancient, carved marble stone. How the island rose from the sea will be debated by scholars for many years, but for now, it's yours to explore and grow!"

Raw Marble
An abundance of beautiful Raw Marble has risen up from the seafloor with the new island. Baby dragons seem to find them very easily (might have something to do with them being close to the ground). Breeding dragons will help locate these pieces of Raw Marble that can then be used to help explore the new location by turning them into Marble Keys!

Marble Keys
It seems that some archaic magic resides deep within the marble stone of the new island. When formed together and imbuded with magic, the marble seems to help expand the floating bridge and clear the untamed forest from a Caretaker's path. Collect Raw Marble and head over to the Spell Shop to create your own Marble Keys and go claim your Island!

Habitats
Starting at level 80, players will see an increased amount of Habitats they may place on their Island! The initial bump at level 80 allows for 89 habitats (that's up from 72!) and players at level 200 will be able to place 325 habitats! That's a total increase of 85 habitats!!!

Improvements
We've also squeezed in a massive performance improvement for Dragon Story. Some of you on newer devices might not notice much, but those of you with slightly older models will hopefully see a great improvement of speed and gameplay!

DISCLAIMER: To provide an optimal experiance, the new land will be released to the public in waves. This helps us ensure that nothing is going wrong, and if so, we can quickly contain and fix it. If you update your game and do not see the new land, DO NO PANIC! You wil get it shortly.

ANDROID: If you play Dragon Story on Android, you'll be coming along for the ride! Just as with your iOS counterparts, the new land will slowly be expanded out to Android players. So if you do not see the new island just yet, DO NOT PANIC! We love you guys too and it'll rise from the ocean floor shortly as well.

Additional Information added by Moderators.....


You will need to clear the land nearby the bridge to unlock land on the other side.


Elsa;1483955']If you don't have it, you need to update your app. If you're playing a seasonal edition, please go to the normal version and delete the seasonal one.






Every 4 hours of breeding gives you 1 RAW marble piece. Every 5 raw marble pieces you craft into a marble key that you use as a “key” to expand... first expansion takes 1 marble piece. Adjacent will take 2 keys (left). Or 3 keys (up-right). Or 10 keys (down-right). This expansion has varying amounts of keys needed depending on where you want to expand to.

If you want to bypass crafting pieces it’s 10 gold per marble key.

Yay!

You da man FlatFoot! I knew anything you would announce would be fantastic. And thank you for using my idea of a second island! I'm so elated. Great job!

[The1stCaretaker]

I don't mean to complain but it seems there's always a reason to. What is the point of all these maps and land pieces we've collected? Purchased both dynamite dragons and have just been collecting thousands of dynamite, thousands of island pieces and thousands of maps to get a completely new way of expanding. So I guess ill just keep on collecting more of these by the thousands for no use? Anyway thanks I do appreciate the land and at least I can continue to play I suppose. It's just a real shame all these maps, island pieces, and dynamite I've been collecting are useless now

[Den8137259]

Flatfoot (: ★ do give priority to those who are in dire need of land .. I mean the "wave" (: ★

Thanks for the tease lol



// afternote:

The "wave" won't come to you!

Just delete and reinstall your DS app to be greeted by the new islands on the east (: ★

[tinkyw1nky]

Wait so are we getting dynamite AND land keys from breeding now?

[harobeda]

So bottom line is that eventually this feature will roll out to everyone (but initially only some). We get marble pieces from breeding, then craft a thingy to get to the land. Then collect more marble pieces (and craft??) to expand each space on the new island. So no maps for the new land?

I have so many questions about how this will work...

thinking the same ! why a new way for expanding ?
instead of giving marble from breed, we should have a way to trade (in craft shop or trading house) our maps/island parts into these marble.
and what about the crashes with bigger island ? i already crash a lot because of my big land, so bigger island will crash even more :(

[Florr06]

Wow thanks FlatFoot and Storm8! :D

[Milecia]

Wow!! Thank you so much! ;-)

I can't wait to see it:-)

From Flatfoot: Improvements

Might this pertain to you? Just wondering...

[FlatFoot]

Might this pertain to you? Just wondering...

It should! One difficulty we had adding more land was the performance hit users would experience. As such, it was our priority to alleviate that constraint. Every device is different, so performance may vary, but it should help out a lot.

I'm heading on a plane now back east, but enjoy your weekends and see you on the other side!

[orson32]

Hi..just wondering..is there a game update in App store? Don't see anything new in spell shop..can see habitat increase though

[FlatFoot]

Hi..just wondering..is there a game update in App store? Don't see anything new in spell shop..can see habitat increase though

Correct, there is an update to the game that is rolling out in waves. Once the update is installed you will see the new land. No update is required for the increased habitat limit though.

[orson32]

So I just need to keep checking App store for the update then? Thank you Flatfoot.

[harobeda]

My app is still very sluggish and has been crashing a lot - will this be better after the update?

[kooky panda]

So I just need to keep checking App store for the update then? Thank you Flatfoot.

There should not be a new update in app store to download. This update will be pushed into your game. I do not have it yet, but each time I come to play I do force close and restart
my game to check to see if it has been pushed into my game.

[random59]

So what happens to all the maps we have and what will happen to events that give out maps for higher level players and the resource dragons that also produce maps are they now all surplus to the game and unusable?

Whilst we see we have an increase in habitats, will there be restrictions on the land we clear and develop, ie normally would get them in 20 land clearings?

We need 5 marble to be able to craft 1 key which takes 1 day, how many keys do we need to clear a land space?
Also is the clearing time automatic or do we have to wait days?

[Den8137259]

Anyone in the lucky "wave" to get the offer to expand? Do post and share (: ★ ty

[jjblueyes]

I honestly appreciate that something is being done for some land, I don’t however understand completely why the hoops are necessary. I think when you’ve played 4/5, even longer years, have 100 dragons easy in storage, a maxed out stable, not a stitch of land and dealing with a gazillion dragons events, some impossible to get without a large money commitment and we are still here TRYING to play the game, they should be rewarded, not used to possible temp folks to into spending gold to speed up a exhausting process.
I don’t know if that’s what’s going on here but the entire thing is confusing and hurts my head. If this turns out to be yet one more painful process to keep going, I may finally have to face some facts and give up my loved game.

I am Sorry for being skeptical and I hope I am pleasantly surprised. As many have already expressed, I’m confused what we do with our 1100 plus maps, and the folks who paid good money for a map producing dragon, must wonder why? At least I refused to purchase any dragons like that but I feel bad if you have bad and it’s deemed useless.
I will wait and see how this all works.
I truly am Hoping for the best for all of us dragon story players.
Cheers,
Jen

[athena238]

So happy to hear the great news, finally will be able to take out the dragons from storage :)

Are maps obsolete items/gifts with the new expansion ?!

[Anuisia]

Is there a timeline for everyone to get this? How long before everyone gets the new island?

[The1stCaretaker]

So there is no actual app update in the app store? FlatFoot said yes to someone asking if there was an app update in the store. Also that looks like a new app icon in the op. I'm just curious how are we getting this update?

[FlatFoot]

Maps and Island parts are still very usable for the majority of Dragon Story players. I know a few of you here are currently maxed out, but most players aren't as fast as you all. I know that they may not have a direct impact on you as of now, but that doesn't mean they won't in the future nor for other players below (and even at) your maxed out levels.

Yeah I understand that but those players who still have use for these items are obviously not in desperate need of land. Why are those of us devoted to dragon story the ones who suffer. I have a second high level account where I don't spend money and I have no issues. I have land still, plenty of room because I don't get all dragons. Apparently these players can play comfortably while those who spend actual money are the ones who have to suffer. I just don't understand why every time something good is done there's still a part that hurts us long time devoted money spending players.

[Den8137259]

we need every ounce of land, but we had deliberately kept one land part open cos the mine will close after we had maxed out all expandable lands.

Also if the mine is closed we won't be able to play the bingo that requires to mine a part ★ please consider lifting the restriction, ty ★

For bingo part you can use the other mine to finish the task

I know that they may not have a direct impact on you as of now, but that doesn't mean they won't in the future nor for other players below (and even at) your maxed out levels.

So does that mean for players with the resource map making dragons to put them in storage as they are not relevant to our games anymore?

What does that mean will happen to long term players with events that have maps as rewards and milestones that they has add up to a nothing total like our current island parts do?

Some of us don’t plat Bingo all the time and we are penalised if the task says to mine for island parts or clear land as we cannot do this, why are we getting treated this way? The lower level players do not have any penalties on their game but senior players games are riddled with them!

How about a heads up also on the way the marble parts and marble keys are to work, I know it takes 5 marble parts to be able to craft a key and that it takes 24 hours! But how many marble keys are needed to unlock a land space and is there an amount of time for that to happen? Also how does the breeding to marble parts go, is it hours or dragons bred and if dragons bred is it from den to nest or den to hatch?

[FTZ4]

I have the new Island. Just took a 11hrs dragon from the den to the nest and got 3 marble parts.
It takes 100.000 coins and a marble key to expand the first square of land. I can buy one marble key for 10 gold. I'm currently using my Spell shop, so I haven't had the chance to see what has changed in there.
Next up is a 5hrs dragon, then I know more.

[JustKay]

It's a game about collecting dragons, and even if the dynamites and maps are useless, you still get a pretty badass looking dragon. Everything suffers from diminishing returns. Don't underestimate the benefits of mining for food which is increasingly more important. On top of that, it's not like we'll never get a chance to use these in future expansions.

Games are meant to give people new challenges. If this was just another maps or land parts expansion, most of us would just use up our stockpile and complete the expansions in a day. If u look at Fashion/Restaurant/Bakery story, I've given up playing these because nothing new gets introduced in the these games. I almost gave up on Dragon story before Leaderboards was introduced

[ozigal]

I have just found the update in my App Store

[athena238]

Whoop land is here yayyyyy :)

[Jackiesq]

Can't wait to get it in my game.... but happy to see we'll finaly get the needed space for our dragons!

[orson32]

I had asked if there was a game update in app store.FlatFoot said yes and moderator said no..but THERE IS AN UPDATE IN APP STORE but believe it is only ios right now.Update is coming to players in " waves" some have , some don't YET..keep checking...

[dovanificent]

There's an update for Android as well. Updating right now.

[skyharbor602]

I just got an update through Android too and it looks like there's still more space to expand further through the floating islands as well in the future. Maybe there will be another expansion through that avenue too.

[harobeda]

My 6 hour breeding gave 1 raw marble. My 12 hour breeding gave 3 raw marble pieces. I’d say we get 1 per every 4 hours of breeding (rounds down). Similar to how evolution gives 1 bomb per 4 hours evolving.

[bossman1959]

I'm on an Android phone. I used my first marble piece to make a key. It took that one key plus 100,000 coins to clear one piece of land on the new island. It was immediately cleared off, no waiting to remove anything off of it. But it looks like some of the rest of the land has things on it. I have loads of maps and have maxed out on floating island pieces which look like they are useless. I hope Flatfoot is right and that eventually they will be useful again but I'm not counting on that. But I'm truly glad we have new land, really, really needed and they upped the total habitats we can have. Now we need them to up the amount of Farms we can have. My dragons are so so so hungry!!!

[The1stCaretaker]

I like the look of the new app and the islands look great too. Only little thing I see is the notification icon for Android is a white square again like it was a few versions of dragon story back. Oh I noticed we can't zoom out as much as before either

[harobeda]

Every 4 hours of breeding gives you 1 RAW marble piece. Every 5 raw marble pieces you craft into a marble key that you use as a “key” to expand... first expansion takes 1 marble piece. Adjacent will take 2 keys (left). Or 3 keys (up-right). Or 10 keys (down-right). This expansion has varying amounts of keys needed depending on where you want to expand to.

If you want to bypass crafting pieces it’s 10 gold per marble key.

[skyharbor602]

The newer version is a lot smoother and I have a feeling we may not experience as many crashes or rollbacks like the previous version either. The dragons are much clearer but the leaderboard is having a hard time loading but, really, no worries there. I've got to say fantastic job once again FlatFoot. I know it took some time to work out the kinks. Thank you for your hard work on this.

[Den8137259]

[RhodryMaelwaedd]

Edit: dragon movements and moving across the island seemed slow at first. Resetting my device fixed the first and now the second also looks ok :)

The new lands and the bridge look great by the way!

[Sugarcat5]

Like the new expansion BUT my leaderboard is not loading AND I CAN'T BREED ANYTHING! I just wasted 15 gold to get bingo bonus but can't clear a board because I can't breed my dragons. The dragons come up but nothing happens when I try to select them. I already tried restarting the game and reinstalling. Please help!!

[ksbmommy]

Looks great!

It was slow moving around at first but after closing down and restarting it was much better. I was able to breed but on the main island and arctic isles, I cannot see which two dragons are breeding. I see the timer, but not the pairing.

[jaymieb2]

thinking the same ! why a new way for expanding ?
instead of giving marble from breed, we should have a way to trade (in craft shop or trading house) our maps/island parts into these marble.

One reason why there is a new way to expand is so that everybody has something to work towards... because those that have over 1000 maps stockpiled (me, included) and tons of coins can immediately convert excess coin and maps in expansions... and then be back to the same waiting game.

Now we have a challenge to work towards and a reason to keep playing the game.

Kudos Flatfoot and S8!

I'm glad to see it's working for you! We've also gotten many messages from users saying that the performance of their game has significantly increased since downloading the new update. Our engineering team is to thank for the performance upgrade, so a round of applause to them! I'm glad that they were able to supply us with this improvement so that we could deliver more space for more dragons.

[amerirish]

I had to uninstall/reinstall the app on my iPhone to see the new island. It's exciting and fun although I'm kinda bummed about the new parts needed to expand. I have a million maps & island parts :( Wish we could trade those in for the new parts. Anyway, super excited about all the new space and the habitat limit increase. Has anyone done the math to see how many habitats can fit on the new island?

[ticiabg75]

kooky panda and FlatFoot : and we could have farms and have more apples, and a little more gold, and be able to trade dragons with other players, and have more decor in the market. and have other dragons to craft with gems, and also to pick up items to have new dragons in the quest. and to gain habitat in the leaderboard?

[FlatFoot]

... Anyway, super excited about all the new space and the habitat limit increase. Has anyone done the math to see how many habitats can fit on the new island?

I believe there are 85 new expansion plots.

[amerirish]

I believe there are 85 new expansion plots.

Thanks :D

ETA: So my game is still loading from my reinstall and the weirdest thing is happening; some of my dragons are frozen in place and some are flying as normal. I can still scroll around the island so it's very strange looking to see some habitats with no motion and others that are fine.

If you've just reinstalled, please leave it open over a wifi connection for a few minutes to download the game art and files. Some of the changes we made to improve the game were to the animations. If it doesn't improve after the images save to your device, please feel free to let us know and we'll be happy to look into it for you.

Just started crafting my first key and 1 day really means 24 hours - not 22 like it is in some other S8 games.

Is this affecting the Leaderboard and spin wheel? On my leaderboard, all the information like island names, points, and milestones are shown but there are no graphics at all. On the spin wheel, the wheel is there with all the prizes but the box that the spin wheel is in is missing. The wheel still spins (after numerous attempts) and I still get awarded prizes.

Yes, this is the bug.

[divanightclub]

I'm having some issues with my game too AFTER the update. Im still experiencing some crashing, dragons that I'm trying to breed are not visible on the den, just the timer, some dragons freeze in the air when flying, and while tapping on certain habitats to find specific dragons, doesn't do anything, and it not allowing me to feed them even if I wanted to. I've shut down my phone and force close it, and well as uninstall and reinstall the game, and stilll experiencing the same issues. I'm an iOS user, so I don't know what else to do to resolve these issues.

FYI.. The habitat I'm having trouble with is the Haunted Habitat with Bride of Frankenstein, Jack O' Lantern and Pirate dragon in it, and it's NOT generating any money from these dragons either.. smh

[laurelsail]

I don't have any marble in my spell shop! How do I expand?! Thanks!

You may be having a similar issue as Den8137259 above because you reinstalled the game and older devices need a bit longer to load everything. Please leave the game open over a wifi connection for a few minutes to let all the game images load and cache.

You're on 2.6.3 still. You need to update your game to see it.

Elsa;1478061']Heads up for Android: We're looking into an issue with 2.7 where several images aren't appearing. The features are still functional, but please note you may see some missing images and you may want to turn on auto-update or keep an eye out for an update for when we patch it.
Hi Elsa. I have been unable to breed any dragons since update. This is a huge issue for me. I've done as other posts have suggested and uninstalled and reinstalled. I have also left the game open over Wi-Fi and still nothing. I need help quick. Thank you.

[pinkflower7777]

Sorry

[pinkflower7777]

I'm having some issues with my game too AFTER the update. Im still experiencing some crashing, dragons that I'm trying to breed are not visible on the den, just the timer, some dragons freeze in the air when flying, and while tapping on certain habitats to find specific dragons, doesn't do anything, and it not allowing me to feed them even if I wanted to. I've shut down my phone and force close it, and well as uninstall and reinstall the game, and stilll experiencing the same issues. I'm an iOS user, so I don't know what else to do to resolve these issues.

FYI.. The habitat I'm having trouble with is the Haunted Habitat with Bride of Frankenstein, Jack O' Lantern and Pirate dragon in it, and it's NOT generating any money from these dragons either.. smh

I also am using IOS and have 1 habitat that doesn't respond when I select it. I can't feed those dragons or move or upgrade the habitat. For me it is a Zodiac habitat that is located in the uppermost corner of the largest island. (Not any of the new lands) I tried to invite you to see if your habitat is located in the same area, but as soon as I pressed invite my game crashed, and now crashes every time I press the invite button.

Other than this my game has been running fine, all images downloaded etc. I have sent in a ticket to support about the habitat, but no human response yet.

I am having an issue with the habitat I have in the same exact spot. For me it's fruitful fields habitat for my fruit producing dragon. Hopefully they fix the bug soon. I would like to level up my fruition dragon during the tourney

[harobeda]

Why are expansions requiring SO MANY marble keys?? It’s going to take a month to craft enough marble keys to expand to TWO spots. I understand wanting it to not be too quick. But this is ridiculous. It needs to be able to keep pace with the rate they’re releasing new dragons. And this won’t - we’ll suffer for land next to a forest. And this how much (see attached photo) is required after only doing a couple expansions (I threw 20 gold at it to speeed up things a smidge).


I shudder to think how many keys it’ll take to expand deeper into the forest- probably a literal months worth of crafting keys for one spot. :mad:


Crafting marble keys needs to be shortened from 24 hours. This is a massive clog in the system. Even 12 hours would be difficult (15 keys takes over 2 weeks to craft, at 12 hours it’d still take over a week). Please consider changing the crafting time of a marble key.

[random59]

Still having issues with new update and breeding, some games no dragons, others have dragons, thought this was supposed to fix bugs but there are plenty still happening!

Any patches for these issues as it takes forever to reload a deleted game of level 200.

harobeda totally agree with you about the time it takes to craft enough keys to clear land, actually it is more time consuming than maps. Storm8 you really need to think about players with only the Breeding Den it will take forever to generate stones to craft into keys!

Yes, I hope they fix it soon. Just knowing I can't do anything with those dragons really makes me want too. It's worse for you with your food producing dragon though.

I think it's during beta for the first players seeing this features. And after it wil changes.

[Den8137259]

From what that's seen, there's no "waves" or preferential roll-out to specific test players for the new islands ★

DS is now available as version 2.7 on iOS AppStore since 11 Dec ★

Yes the crafting time is very long and far too draggy ~ hope this can be shortened ★

Will you look at that nice description for dragon story ios. Android says bug fixes, always bug fixes. I feel like they used an older version to add the land into. How else would we get that white square for notifications on Android that was fixed in the last few versions and the not being able to fully zoom out that was fixed on last few versions also.

I spent some gold and the third row is 25,20 and one 15 keys. The forth row is 35 and 30 keys. Do the math 35 keys is a minimum of 35 days!!! If they keep up the pattern and you keep going down the rows: 5th=40 and 35, 6th=45 and 40, 7th= 50 and 45, 8th=55 and 50, ect. It will take years to clear the new land.

Elsa;1477986']If you've just reinstalled, please leave it open over a wifi connection for a few minutes to download the game art and files.

If it doesn't improve after the images save to your device, please feel free to let us know and we'll be happy to look into it for you.

Elsa: it's been nearly 24 hours and my dragons are still acting weird. Some are frozen, some are moving. Even dragons that are the same habitat are acting each way. I've had my game open on WiFi a whole lot since the update :(

[mylord7]

The 24hours crafting time for 1 Marble Key is way too much time!
Keep in mind that the Spell Shop is also needed for Dragon Tales, Bingo etc. and can't be 24/7 occupied for crafting Marble Keys.

Another thing that I noticed is that, fortunately, if you want to speed up a little bit, by spending Gold, and finish the crafting procedure earlier, it doesn't cost as much as usual.
Usually, every crafting hour costs 5 Gold.
So, for example, a Nether Dust who needs 8 crafting hours to complete, costs 40 Gold to finish it up immediately.

The Marble Key needs 24 hours to complete and costs 8 Gold, which means 1 Gold for every 3 crafting hours.
So, the costing chart is as follows:

8 Gold for 24 remaining crafting hours.
7 Gold for 21 remaining crafting hours.
6 Gold for 18 remaining crafting hours.
5 Gold for 15 remaining crafting hours.
4 Gold for 12 remaining crafting hours.
3 Gold for 09 remaining crafting hours.
2 Gold for 06 remaining crafting hours.
1 Gold for 03 remaining crafting hours.

The same issue is STILL happening to my game, and have very strong wifi. Dragons are frozen, especially when I press the "EXPAND" button. I can't feed or raise certain dragons on specific habitats because it's not allowing me to, and it's been WELL over 24 hours since I updated the app. It's quite a few issues/bugs due to the new update.. really hope it will be fixed soon, cause I can't keep shutting off my phone and open the app, just for the dragons to fly normally..

I have just updated the android version (2.7.0.1g) and I confirm that the images issue has been fixed, but, unfortunately, there is a more serious bug now!!
There is no remaining time bar over the Farms, Nests, Evolution Temples, Breeding Dens, Battle Arena, Quest Outpost, Trading Portal and Spell Shop (probably not on the Healing Spring too), which makes the game almost unplayable!!!
Please, investigate the issue and if it needs remove the new update, until you fix it.
Hopefully, I have backed up the previous version (2.7.0g) and I am rolling back to that...

[divanightclub]

I've tested it out and im on IOS, so then you should be able to see it in the top right corner of the screen. The problem I've noticed with trying to get the gems are too many of them require valid and personal information you have to provide, and taking surveys which leads you to other sites for promotional deals with more questions to answer,and when you think you've completed all the requirements you don't always receive the gold. Not to mention getting CONSTANT phone calls with different area code from companie,businesses, websites, etc, all day long.. So IMO it's not worth the hassle and having to give so much info, based on the amount of gold you're trying to get. So I just deal with the ones the require watching entire videos for 1 gem...lol

Hi Elsa....the leaderboard has been fixed...thank u!! I had checked it before and it was fine. However...now I can't get into it at all. In fact ALL of the icon things on the side for all the goals are frozen including the wheel. And I have no more time indicators for anything(farms, breeding,etc).

That's strange, because I don't have any unexpected crash issues with all the last 3 updates.
If the previous versions were OK for you, I have backed up the 2.7.0g one (the .apk) and I can send it to you, just in case you want to roll back to that version and go on with the game without crashing, until we have a new version in the market that you may try it.
So, check your PM :)

Perhaps you have updated to the 2.7.0.1g version of the game, which is the previous one. Check the Play Store and update to the 2.7.0.2g version, which fixes the time bar issue.

I've not been playing much because of silly demands & no room but was excited to see we're getting new land ....but..... as it's going to take forever to expand AND spell shop will be occupied too long or we can't make keys during some events...my excitement has deflated & I'm just going to go back to not playing as a priority but just occasionally.....unless things change for the better.

Yeah I think it might be time for us long time players to just take our losses and move on. It really does suck but I really don't see this getting any better for us. This game has just been a downward spiral for the last several years. Everything they add effects us long time players for the worse and you know that space will just fill up then we'll have thousands of another item, then for those of us who actually collect every dragon and we will be waiting for a very long time not being able to play once again. We are already so far behind

I actually checked out the 2nd row for for clearing, 2 of them had 10 keys and the other had 15 keys, so to clear those 3 spaces takes over a month! No, I would rather have the maps as they will still be rewards for events and why have we bought resource dragons that produced maps which will be useless for the unforseeable future!

What have we to spend coins on now, nothing of interest is available for coins and when you have a few billion in your back pocket as most of the high level players will have.

Yes you are, if you are on Android go to the Google play store and upgrade your game or iOS visit the App Store and likewise update your game.

There is a new 85 allotment of new land, maps are not used here but we get pieces of marble from breeding and with these pieces we craft marble keys and when we have enough we can clear more land. I hope this helps a little.

Okay, I expanded 2 parts. 1 for 1 Marble Key, 1 for 2 Marble Keys. 3th needs 3, 4th needs 10 and 5th needs 15 Marble Keys!!! What do we need for expansion 85? Something like 8 years crafting time???

Can anyone from S8 please check on this? This must be a bug if not, this new expansions doesn't help with our need for space with all the new dragons we get every month. Or the next new dragons have to follow the same growing number of days in between before we get them....

Yes this does suck. This is not good for the heavy hitter players. What else is new. You'd think they would want to do something nice for us big supporters but I guess not. 16 mining spots is what we got for land last year. We really need a big chunk of mining land. This new ordeal is only ok for the casual player who probably still has land in all directions anyway. I'm so confused why the most devoted players are punished

Ok, i usually never post but with the new land needed n the angry responses, i agree. I haven't even figured the math on the keys n when i read that I'm right there with ya. I spend lots of money, always get the dragons in storybook n world event, come in 1st to 6th ALWAYS in ************. Sorry but it's like older players are being punished, only thing left to do to show S8 how serious the loyal players are, is not play or buy gold, but for S8 to see a difference, millions of players just all of a suddenly STOP. Well, that's not happening.... S8 had always fixed my problems within a decent amount of time but everyone all over the world is really angry about the keys. I feel really bad for all those players that actually broke down n purchased the map, bomb n dynamite dragons. Idk what we can say that will stop S8 from being greedy, the key expansion is about money, but they need to do something for all of us older players. NOT HELPING OUT LOYAL PLAYERS THAT SPEND MONEY ALL THE TIME, I AVERAGE $300 A MONTH inDragon n Fantasy Forest story, REALLY?

I was evidently too quick with my thank you. I’m hoping everyone is wrong about the expansions. It’s like finding a big beautiful present under the tree, only to unwrap it and find lumps of coal. It makes me sad.

[marcatwolf]

I too am very upset about the keys and breeding for them. Especially since I can only breed common bubbles 10 x in a row, or magic, frog, explorer, etc. 10 x in a row. I literally had three bubbles on my three 1413105005000014131050050000nests at one time. Twice! I used different dragons to breed them too. So, I gave up on breeding awhile ago and have been focused on ONLY collecting gold and food to max my dragons, which takes forever. Somewhat boring playing this way, right? The other thing is, where are my 100s of maps? They are not in my materials. Also, what am I going to do with them and all my hundreds of island parts I worked hard to earn. I just won 10 maps in the leaderboard game thingy, for what? Where are they at anyway? Yesterday, I wanted to write a comment filled with swearing. Glad I waited till now. But I’m still so mad. DS Storm8, thanks for nothing. Maybe you can redeem yourselves if you tell us there will be another update or storyline/game feature where we be able to use our maps, maybe on the new land at some point, ideally. It still isn’t good you make it so hard to get the new land cleared.

[DirkDragon]

To expand with maps, it takes me 3 days to obtain them and 2 days for the expansion. If the new land requires 10 keys, it will take 10 days to expand. This isn't what I call an improvement!
If, eventually, the requirement is 60 keys like a map expansion, it will take 2 months to expand. Please tell me this isn't the case!

I am glad that other players have realised what a ridiculous situation this is. It just isn't worth having.

Check your habitat limit, you may have expanded to your limit, you may be currently expanding another area of it maybe another glitch.

For those of you who have vaporised (it's prettier written with the S ;D) Dragons, can you let me know which Dragons you're breeding and if they're close or far from your Breeding Den?

EDIT: The issue has been identified. No further information is needed for the magically invisible Dragons. :D

Elsa, any news on when this problem will be addressed and fixed please!

Try force closing and restarting your game.

If you play on iOS, there is an new update for the game in iTunes.
If you play on android, make sure you are playing on the regular game and not a seasonal version, and check and make sure you have the most current update.

Your right mine is only closed if you expanded all 56 expansions with island parts! And it will only reopen if we get more expansions for island parts... 😦 Sorry to bring you the bad news, you had to stop after 55 expansions to keep the mine open...

Anyone do the math yet on how long it would take to expand all 85 spaces? If the last row is 80 marble keys, that alone is 2 years of continuous key crafting.

if you are doing it non stop ;) because you have to use the crafting shop for the tales, the mining dragon, the bingo,..
actually they found a easy way to force people to use golds for the speeding.
giving new lands this way is like not giving it at all !

[orleansparish]

we need every ounce of land, but we had deliberately kept one land part open cos the mine will close after we had maxed out all expandable lands.

Also if the mine is closed we won't be able to play the bingo that requires to mine a part ★ please consider lifting the restriction, ty ★

I agree with this part. I?m always having to rework what I?m going for because I need to mind for one part. I think if we don?t have any minijng to do we should be able to skip this part and not have it return. Or not have it show up at all.

To clear 4 spaces on the second row is 55 days so forever and we can’t complain about not having enough land because it is there so win to Storm8 and a loss for us!

When the "Exciting News" announcement came out, I figured they were going to introduce some sort of expansions that could only be purchased for gold/real money. But, somehow, they managed to come up with an even worse idea than "premium" land. Amazing. Smdh.

Love it, but 1 day crafting is long, any chance this could be changed, or boosts collected?

Also, I was wrong about the last increase of land with island parts, thought it was plus 20, was plus 16, so my mine is closed.

Any chance we can get the mine open for this, or more of that type land?

Much thanks, flatfoot, and Happy New Year

Love was too strong...this will take years to complete, that's with continuous crafting. We need a permanent new den, and another craft shop, minimum, come on S8, you have some loyal players here.

[FieldsLikeB]

The new land is built ridiculously. With the starting rows facing as the day the side of the habitat next to the tree edge hides your dragons! I'm not joking is this where you want me to keep the ugly dragons I keep for bingo tasks? Oh wait, I can put my invisible ones over there!

Don't get me started on row two for 15!

[Den8137259]

Earlier there were three habitats on sale for 50 gold: Grand Cloud Castle, Grand Falling Sky, Grand Elemental Plane. At some point in the last hour they were removed :mad:

I am still get the pop-up on the habitat sale which is showing Grand Cloud Castle, Grand Elemental Plane .. but irony is that they are no longer in the sale menu.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DSVi08iUQAAvhu4?format=jpg

Please restore the Grand habitats at 50 gold as previously published, ty ★

The second irony is that new land expansion is a huge pain; I can't expand in time to buy your sale habitats ★

[kat8rose]

Speaking of more land... staying on topic .... How about the Arctic Isles for droid players? Flatfoot, do you know when droid players will get the "coming soon" albums and the Arctic Isles?

Any way to make the crafting faster on the keys? 24 hrs is a long time to tie it up especially during tales, also for bingo tasks.

Thanks

So what expansion line is that, if you don’t mind me asking? 60 days of crafting with Tales so that takes it out to say 90 days, 3 months for 1 expansion.

I would be upset if I didn't have the Arctic Isles, too, because i would feel like I was missing something, but I can tell you that the Arctic Isles is very expensive as far as your Dragoncash goes. It bankrupted me. It's also very limited - you can only have 6 habitats, and there are 18 dragons, so if you're like me and like to have multiples of some dragons, you just can't do it. Also, to complete all the goals in the Isles, you have to grow every dragon to level 10, and some of them are just downright ugly at level 10. On my second account, I am keeping the majority of them as babies and only growing up the ones I need to breed. There are 3 diamond hybrids you need to get. I have been trying breeding non-stop for *months* and can't get the third one. so the Isles are kind of a pain, tbh.

Right that's my point. I can access other players arctic isles on android which is strange but not have our own. Also when I so I see the new land in artic off to the right. Yeah instead of just removing from ios they give you guys extra leader board points from it. Tbh Id much rather have an actual album where the blank coming soon icon has been for years.

The album actually isn’t that wonderful as it shows you what dragons you have yes but they are not in any set pattern, you cannot do a search and when you have over 800 dragons it’s a pain! I actually like what they have done with the breeding option... wish it could be done in the arena as well.

........Actually went into my Album just to check how painful it is, I have 870 dragons and the album shows 5 per line, that’s a lot of scrolling down!

[random59]

Flatfoot just had a disturbing read that the last 2 lines in the new marble key expansion key area takes 60 keys to clear 1 space. Which if I was to do the Tales events could take me 3 monrhs to craft 60 keys taking 10 days off each month for Tales.

There are 10 expansions in the last 2 lines in total which would mean that it would take 30 months or a humongous amount of gold (6000 gold) Could you please let us know what the expansions take please!

[Ilsadrago]

Has the new land expansion been pushed out to everyone? I don't have it yet, nor is there a game update in the app store. I only have 10 spots left to expand, so I'm getting worried I'll soon be unable to purchase habitats or place dragons.

I have invested a lot of time and money in this game, and I want to keep playing, but I won't if I have no room to place my dragons. I used to spend a fair amount of cash on gold, but as I've seen the changes in the last year that offer less and less incentive to achieve, I rarely buy any now. I do, however, want to be able to expand and keep playing.

If you don't have it, you need to update your app. If you're playing a seasonal edition, please go to the normal version and delete the seasonal one.

[kat8rose]

Loved it at first glance, then quick demotion to like lol. Now, SMH after the first few pieces of land, we can basically get one new plot every month or two! That's not a solution, imho. We need to have our mines opened and more airborne type land available to us as a real solution. Some one listen, and help your loyal customers

[justinbieber4444]

And since every Tales event requires crafting, you have to interrupt crafting marble pieces for at least a week to complete the event!

[Den8137259]

S8 please relook at the mechanics for the new land expansion; marble crafting time be made sleek at 1 hour and marble requirements to be lowered ★

Mere lengthening the crafting time and exponential marble requirements have greatly hindered our expansion efforts; we cannot catch up with your new releases of drags and habitats ~ And the same old story repeats itself once more ★

[newzealander]

Agree. Maybe they are hoping that in a knee jerk reaction people will buy it, not realising it is raw marble rather than keys. I think there’s been a few similar traps before; wasn’t there one with island maps? And there’s the bomb ones. If you’re playing regularly, these don’t solve the bottle necks.

Be careful out there, people! Spend your hard earned gold wisely!

(And note that it isn’t just the dragon you need to buy; you also need to purchase a dedicated island ... which needs .... LAND!)

[random59]

I actually opened a thread called marble keys which surprisingly nobody has read or commented on.

Now they deem to insult us by introducing this Marble dragon, the dragon gods are laughing at us that is for real. Marble is the easiest thing to produce all you need is to breed 2 dragons and the end result is you get rewarded by marble wow.

What we need is a Marble Key Dragon, I don’t believe I just typed that but it is true. I feel for the community members who have purchased other resource dragons for the mines and maps. I have a map dragon but that is of little significance considering I can sell the habitat and place the dragon in storage. But for others there has been a great outlay to buy these dragons and their resources now are obsolete as currently they are not used.

We still receive Island parts and maps in various events but for a great number of us they are useless, we could all wallpaper our dragon Stables with them numerous times.

What we need is the percentage given option that gives us as maps and Island parts given for events which I think range from 12 to 15 percent instead of these redundant resources.

Come to the part Storm8, this debacle is of your making not ours!

Hi people I am like players who bought the Charter Dragon and I didn't read the description because I was sure S8 did a good dragon for the rewarded Marble Keys but when I saw my mistake it was too late.
No refund possible because I didn't read.
For me Two solutions from devs : Timer for craft Marble Keys decrease to 2 hours Or Charter dragon give Marble Keys.

You agree?
Your opinion

[blueangel826]

I was so glad to get the new land expansion since I was totally landlocked! Then I discovered that each Marble Key takes 24 hrs to create! I've got nearly 1,000 island parts in storage that should be able to be used. Why can't S8 consider allowing us to use these first? This is just another slap in the face to all of your longtime players/customers who have waited for land expansion. Even with clearing land when starting DS, it never took longer than 3 days to expand even with the lg boulders & trees! Now it's 10, 15, 20, & up to 60 days to craft enough marble keys for one expansion! Provide us a 2nd Spell Shop to keep crafting Keys when we need to craft dragons or decor for DT! Is this any way to provide good relationships with those who've stayed around waiting for expansion? I had considered joining many of my nbrs who left DS when it became a full time job to keep up with the events, never having a break to care for my 850+ dragons. Unless the crafting time per marble key is decreased to a "reasonable" time & the # to unlock an expansion is drastically decreased, I'll join the many people who left behind a game we once enjoyed playing! Hope you consider these ideas, Flatfoot, since you do communicate with those who appreciate your designs & support:) Thanks!

A lot! Feel like there’s a real agenda to tick the long long time players off and make us quit so we stop the negative reactions to all the nonsense. Hurts to know all my years of dedication with both time and money (lots of each) is not only not rewarded but feels like it’s punished. Not a great way to treat good paying customers in my opinion.

Agreed. There is the quest for maps, rewards that are maps, mining for maps and bingo challenges that require expanding with maps. I have over a thousand maps and there is zero I can do with them? Not only is this a huge punishment to us 3-5 year players but it keeps us from doing basic game play in bingo. Do the folks running this have any clue how ridiculous it is to get a pile of maps as a reward in these events? If you have got to a place in the game where maps are useless then why not create rewards that then kick in that gives us these stinking keys we are being forced to make and use? That only seems fair but we all know nothing about this game now is fair for most of us senior players. It’s insanity, it’s insulting and it’s darn right cruel to continue this way.

[Phoenix406]

thinking the same ! why a new way for expanding ?
instead of giving marble from breed, we should have a way to trade (in craft shop or trading house) our maps/island parts into these marble.
and what about the crashes with bigger island ? i already crash a lot because of my big land, so bigger island will crash even more :(

I agree that we need to be able to turn our island parts into something useable. I would love to be able to make all of our extraneous materials that we have collected from various events into something useful, such as gold or food or marble keys. It all just sits there clogging up our storage.

[Phoenix406]

In addition to the "complaint" I just posted, I have a couple others. I made the mistake, apparently, of using my last expansion with island parts, so now I cannot accumulate any more dynamite. As others have stated, this very much reduces the amount of food that I am able to obtain from mining. It also makes some of my bingo tasks impossible (yes, I know that I can refresh for a new challenge). Is there any way to restore the mine so that we can still mine for food, even if we can't get island parts?

Second, on my second account, which has now achieved level 100, I can still use Mystic maps and island parts. However, it will *not* allow me to expand using marble. Yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Is this part of the "wave" that was being referred to? Do you have to use up all your island part expansions before you can start using marble keys? I just want to know why I'm crafting them but not able to actually unlock any land with them.

I have one map expansion left and I have the new Land marble part expansions. Make sure you are playing the regular game and not a seasonal version of the game.

[Troyan7]

New marble expansions are definitely too costly and time consuming and as such not really a feasible option. Timer for crafting keys should be lowered considerably from 24h - at least to 12h. 24h is difficult to manage during tales too.

Additionally, I feel like there should be a new island expansion involving the maps and the mines along with this one. More options are always good!

[graovac]

My crafting house is working 24/7 ...I still have space for new habbitats since I only get new dragons from tournaments or tales. Breeding only crappy duplicates. Also this decoration is useless. I'm tired of cleaning my inventory which I get from tales and spins.
And this land should be easily attainable, however S8 is doing just the opposite with everything, same goes for land.

[roadui]

Please S8 can you do somthing with Charter dragon for get Marble Keys and decrease the timer from the Spell shop.
The Community want expand faster than now and in my opinion expand with 45 or more Marble keys should waist 45 hours.

Hi Kooky, Yes, I am definitely on the most recent version of the game. Do you think it's because I still have "island parts" expansions left on that account? On my first account, I have no island parts expansions remaining, but I have Mystic Maps expansions and can use marble as well. On my second account, I have island parts and mystic maps, and I have the island where the marble key expansions go, but it absolutely will not allow me to expand there. It always sends me back to one of the islands that needs to be cleared with Mystic Maps.

I have the island expansion using marble keys and I am still clearing land with mystic maps and expanding using island pieces from the mine! I have been clearing land with all 3 methods since we got the new island!

Thank you for the information! It looks like I need to contact support, then.

[bozotc19]

The new expansion algorithm is total bs. Each expansion takes between 10 and 60 keys. Ridiculous. Each takes 24 hours. And it closes down during most events and is limited if one chooses to play bingo. Great....so I might get one slot every two months. What started as a promising prospect has turned ugly. I’m just fed up with this game

[summersalt]

I dont know where to place this question but the only habitat available for the new world dragons is small world. Why is there a limit of 1 ( Which only holds two dragons) . There are already like 9 world dragons or more.

hi summersalt, good thing is the world drags are all "impure" types (logically speaking, i am referring to the colour types, no offense), so you can actually park your new world drags in any of the common habitats that supports the same colour type! (: ★

TBH the world type habitat is "so small world" and can only house 2 country drags! I would sell it away to make seat for a 3-drag habitat at least ★

[random59]

FlatFoot, Elsa is the question of marble keys going to be addressed at all! I believe the last 2 rows of this new expansion all require 60 keys per clearing. This will take us nearly 30 months of crafting for required keys if we craft for other reasons like arena and mining dragons along with Tales!

Why do you still persist in having rewards on avanues to expand whilst players who are up at the higher levels have no need for these redundant parts. Why can you just not give us the corresponding amount of marble keys or let the individual player decide what they require.

Why can’t Storm8 for once do something for the good of the game and give something back to the community. I shan’t be holding my breath about receiving a reply even though this topic should have some transparency!

[roadui]

I bought the Charter dragon and I hope one day he will become usefull.
I agree with you random59 I don't want wait 2 years for expand all my island.

I don't understand Storm8's rationale on this cos at this rate you'll make us land clearing farmers n not players.

We can forget about participating in events, cos they would generate need for more land and hinder our land clearing progress ★

[CaRee215]

Ok I'm running outta map space that's already cleared too NOW. PLEASE S8 GIVE US ACTUAL KEYS AS PRIZES SO WE CAN ACTUALLY CLEAR FASTER THAN 3 YEARS, OR GREATLY REDUCE CRAFT TIME. REALLY? THE GREED JUST OOZES FROM YOUR PORES N SKIN PEOPLE, CRAFTING MAKES US SPEND GOLD SINCE THEY ARE 8 TO CRAFT. COME ON DO THESE 2 THINGS FOR THE MONEY SPENDING, OLDER, LOYAL, ACTIVE PLAYING PLAYERS THAT STILL WANNA PLAY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. THIS WAY WE CAN EXPAND N SPEND MUCH MORE GOLD ON EVERYTHING ELSE.... PLEASE LOOK AT OUR ACCOUNTS N SEE HOW MUCH WE SPEND. TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT IF THIS IS ABOUT GREED.

[Den8137259]

I'm in limbo n unable to move onward ★ cos not enough lands for the growing breeds and the keys take far too long time to produce ★

[Phoenix406]

I contacted support about the issue that I am having with not being able to expand using marble keys on my second account. The response I received was completely useless, telling me that I have to use raw marble to craft keys. Well, yeah, I clearly stated in my ticket that I was trying to use marble keys to expand, and *the game won't let me!*

I found that clearing the new land is annoying & frustrating, takes 24 hrs to turn the raw marbles into marble keys. In addition, more marble keys are required when you want to clear the back rows. Anyway, I am slowing down with this game now. I think my patience is slowly running out.

[The1stCaretaker]

I'm at the row that takes 35 keys and now I've been at a stand still. Meanwhile I'm almost at 1500 raw material. At this rate I'll have tens of thousands of raw materials before I even clear any more. This is stupid. We need more mining land. I used to buy tons of new habitats but refuse lately for several reasons. 1 there still really isn't land because it's impossible to clear and 2 if it doesn't holds 5 dragons I ain't buying. Such potential for this game and yet it goes down more and more

[kanajunroses]

With the new islands, why in bingo request we have to mainland mapping conquest, or dynamite for island parts.....have no use for maps, when dynamite mining is closed.... you re lost. Can't expand Arctic island or use land pieces....these need to be Updated in bingo. The free gifts only gives me coin...I'm close enough to 900,000,000 so not interested. Got to laugh won some maps...not keys. S8 has redone the conquest by getting rid of gold bricks from volcanic conquest and now taken away gems from gem in the sky..only received 250 coin. Searching for food gave me 200 coin the last two times. The biscuit is no longer adequete for the high hoops you have to jump thru. Notice the boosted weekend no happening but never had luck so no loss. Not pleased. Very sad.

[roadui]

I agree kanajunroses

[kanajunroses]

Haha..so sad...watched extra long video for free gift and received one (null). watch that your not ripped off.

[kat8rose]

Open mines and offer more of that type land, please and remove map prizes and give us KEYS, not marble chips.

I just came looking for info on why my mine is closed and how the keys work and found this post by Phoenix laying out all of my issues and concerns. How can they just close our mine without ever telling us that this is what would happen if we reached the last island expansion? How are we supposed to know it was the last island expansion?! Unfair to not give information and then slam people w the results. I still have map expansions and haven?t yet figured out the arctic so I?ve got a way to go still but if I can?t feed my dragons then what do I need the land for?!

Look at post 201 on this thread and you will find a picture that has been posted about when to stop! Our last floating island expansion previously was a 6 habitat space and then we got allocated with another 16, so you can expand another 15, do not expand the16th or you will close your mine. If your mine is closed you have expanded in full and you will not be able to re-enter the mine until new floating islands are released, this will not be any time soon in my opinion.

Maybe just maybe you have not closed your mine but you have reached your habitat allotment for your level and this may not let you mine, unsure on this as I am not in that position!

If you are on iOS and have access to the Artic Isles you can or could request maps from neighbours from your main game as well as the Arctic Isles. hope this has helped you a little to understand the dynamics of the game!

Why can?t you feed your dragons?

The keys are only able to be used at a certain level or clearing of land, haven?t worked that out yet on a lower level game yet. Every time you breed a dragon from the nest you receive marble 1 for every 4 hours. When you have 5
Marble you can go and craft a marble key needed for unlocking further land. You will need to view previous posts to the workings of this new feature of the game!

[bozotc19]

Well, Flatfoot told us about exciting news about opening up new land. Well this is exasperating. I might get one per month if lucky, and that without playing bingo or any of the events which require crafting. Do these guys even play test the games they offer, I am really fed up. Can some Mod please communicate the insanity of the situation to the powers that be?

[Phoenix406]

I don't know if I am the only one who didn't understand this or what, but it would have been really helpful to tell us that we have to clear the land up to the bridge in order to start using marble keys. I was focused on clearing the little island with the Dawn Tree or whatever it's called and the little ones next to it. I've crafted quite a few keys and been totally unable to use them. Now I know why. I wasted *weeks* that I could have been clearing the big island in order to get to the bridge. #SMH

Elsa, FlatFoot

I take it that by your silence which is deafening by the way and quite insulting by not answering this legitimate question that you don?t care that it may take us up to 30 months to clear this new land.

I wonder do you play this game at all?

[heather11778]

Haven't gotten this yet I'm on android what's up with that

When I play the original version it does not work properly. I dont see the dragons and the game Works rally slow. When I harvest the farms disappear for a while.
I can't play like this. Holiday version Works fine.

I am land-locked again, unless I clear up new land with gold...

So sad to see so much new land, but unable to use it.

Hello again folks! I seem to be experiencing an odd bug where the new island is there, and I am able to craft keys, but not use those keys to expand the island. In other words, there is no highlighted yellow square on the new marble island when selecting the expand option. Any idea why that is?
