Thought it would be hard; but this game continues to surprise me. Every time Team Lava streams an update; something gets messed up even more! The habitat coin value has been spiked up ridiculously. Yellow Habitat went from 30k to 45k, Large Purple Habitat from 60k to 180k ( more than double!!!), Diamond from 80k to 100k!??? Then comes the Food. We pay the same amount of coins, but now get HALF the food we used to get? Not mentioning that in the previous update you guys increased the food needed to evolve a dragon from Lvl 9 to Lvl 10 (was 500 food now is 1k). And if I want a 3rd nest for my eggs you guys incresed it to 500 coins! How can you guys at Team Lava expect us the players to take a game like this seriously? How do you expect players that buy gold with REAL MONEY will react to these changes on a whim?! You even lowered the starting coins for new players, making it very hard to for them to get started with all these sudden changes. You are turning this game into a -check once a day to see how everything is doing- game and players will eventually stop checking and start moving on to other games. I started liking it again after you guys "sorta" fixed the double breeding and evolving times; but after changes like this, I keep getting disappointed...

Seriously... Was enjoying the game but these hikes are absolutely rediculous. Gonna probably stop playing since I started playing bc game was REASONABLE AND CHEAP. Now they've just converted to the redicukously expensive side. Thanks for ruining another game for me team lava.

I really hope TeamLava is preparing for June Fools day, because these new prices have to be some kind of joke or prank.
I mean look at the side way pictures (Taken by screen capping my iPhone).

1 hour for 50 apple at the same price? Might as well use more of the 3 Minute; 20 apple crop.

Did the price for an upgraded Magic habitat really triple? And did the Diamond Habitat raise 20K? I bet the chance to breed a diamond dragon went from .01% to .000001%

Last I checked my second next was 25 gold... There's no way I'm paying 10 times as much, which is just about $10 + ITunes tax. And did the small farm go from 100 to higher and the upgraded farms from 12K to 30K? If it wasn't hard enough to get these things, you raise the prices.

Seriously?! Please tell me that this was some horrible glitch over sight, because if the food really got cut in half and prices increased as much as they have I'm gonna have to delete dragon story and I was really liking it too, but this is insane!!!! It was hard enough to feed dragons to epic form but now they have made 10x harder. It will take weeks and if thats case im just gonna get bored and move onto something else! TEAM LAVA GO BACK TO WHAT IT WAS BEFORE!!!! BECAUSE YOU ARE MAKING EVERYONE MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In a game with limited ways to earn coins, Team Lava is trying to make this a game where you almost have to spent a lot of money in order to advance. Was kinda getting hooked on this game but this has cured that. Typical for them. I understand they need to make money but really?

Thx for the information. I just found that all food dropped half of the amount while the prices remain the same on mine.

The changes are inconsistent among the players and platforms. Let's hope this is some royal screw up and it will be fixed otherwise a great game just went down the pooper

Thanks for bringing this up! Really, to get 50 apples, you need to spend 650 coins for planting fireapple and wait for 1 hour!? You can get 54 apples if you plant impruberries for 270 coins and in only 4 minutes and 30 seconds. Are those apples different in effectiveness to raise dragons? As far as I understand no matter what kind of plant you plant, the farm gives you the same kind of apples to feed dragons... Guess we got to do our own math here on this nasty sudden changes!!!

TL never reads these posts. They put the option on the forum as a pacifier. OK, consider me pacified and bored as I scroll through the itune store to find a better game!

50 apples in an hr? Retarded I will try the 3 minute option. As for gold I never buy gold, rather pay for a game that's more fun and only have to pay up front once!

awful update, i dont see myself bothering to play anymore if things aren't changed. This price change will effectively halt any progress people see in their game. As with any game it has a limited life span as is, this update is pretty much suicide

TL is not listening to us at all. Go and change your rating in the app store. That way they'll feel it and maybe revert the update

This is what I woke up to when I checked my game, and I thought I was still sleeping! I was hoping this was some sort of glitch, but now from reading what everyone has posted I realize that this game gets worse and worse. I've been playing for maybe 2 weeks now and this game gets more difficult and frustrating to play. This is very disappointing because it could have been so much more fun, but I think teamlava just wants people to shell out real money for gold. It's not right. I will be deleting this game soon. :0(

And not to mention I just finished breeding my dragons and got a magic egg, but I can't even afford the habitat!!!!!

Does anybody know if you earn less coins per dragon that what you used to?

I'm glad this isn't just happening to me. At first I thought I had added up my apples wrong when I harvested my scalypears and expected nearly 2000 apples. Instead I didn't even make 1000. This is bs. I only just got this game after hearing how good it was from friends, but if the updates are anything like this, well sorry Team Lava/Storm8, but you're gonna lose another player.

Yeah, I had been working up to a second nest and thought 25g was resonable. I finally got enough gold and it changed overnight to 800 and now it's 250 I think... No way.

That's exactly what I do is stop in collect coins and leave.... Can't even stay and play to enjoy game. I don't even check my goals anymore as they are committed to memory after days and days of trying to complete them. Y I am still even checking in, idk. Keep hoping it'll get fun again and prices will go down.

I'm really disappointed in TeamLava for this. I thought Zynga was the leader in shameless tactics to get people to spend real money on their games, but TeamLava has joined their ranks. At least they didn't change the cost/yield of the Buffbeats, they save a lot of money and time.

This is very upsetting. All my incubation and hatching times on my three devices have doubled. Examples are. Charm dragon 32 hours. Wizard 44. Trickster 36. Genie 16 water 24. If this is the new cost. I have to stop. I am at level 94 on all three devices. So you can tell I am a avid player. But this is too much.

This is an old thread on a different topic. Closing thread to prevent any confusion.
