View Full Version : Feeding Dragons
I fed a Light Dragon to Epic and a Love Dragon to lvl 8. Then it asked me to buy food... ONLY THEN did I noticed my 130k-150k (I forgot the amount I had) are all gone... ??
I then check how much food the dragon needs to eat, 7,500 food PER FEED???
This is really crazy, pls refund my food and I will play back the old version.
Pls respond or at least PM me with an explaination or better still, refund my 150,000 food (which took me a long time, very long... time to farm).
My heartache so much that I wanna cry... pls return my food and I will uninstall this new dragon story...

I did my love dragon to 10 but I do not think mine was that much, I would suggest sending an email to support@teamlava.com to have them check you game.
it was light dragon that I fed to epic then love to lvl 8, 150k food used up for just thiese 2...

I think this is correct (how Ever crazy that sounds) but let me know if you get a respons from support. Mine are the same and i checked between the two different typs of dragons, them whit the new element and them without. The dragons with the new light color has a foodcost thats 15 Times' higer then the dragons without the new lightelement. I haven't feed one to lvl 9 yet but i suspect they have to eat 5x 15 000 at that lvl?
This is what i noticed
"old"dragons (without white element)
Food cost
Lvl 1 1
Lvl 2. 4
Lvl 3. 8
Lvl 4 20
Lvl 5. 50
Lvl 6. 100
Lvl 7. 240
Lvl 8. 500
Lvl 9. 1000
"new" dragon (dragon with white element)
Food cost
Lvl 1. 15
Lvl 2. 60
Lvl 3. 120
Lvl 4. 300
Lvl 5. 750
Lvl 6. 1500
Lvl 7 3600
Lvl 8. 7500
Lvl 9. 15000?
That meens it Will cost you 144 225 foods to bling a white dragon or it's hybrids to epicform!!!
I was so happy yesterday with the uppdate but now i think i go back to play the old version or just skipp the new white dragons. I Will leave min att lvl 5 or 6 thats manageble.

I also did a cululation on how much silver that would be, say if you grow the cheepest Food (impurberrys or watch they are called) each Food costs 5 silver, so the cost would be 721125 silvers, if you grow the most expensive Food, don't remember the name but 800 Food for 75000 silver takes 5 h, the cost would be 93.75 silvers per Food. Then the cost for bringing ? whitedragon or it's hybrids would be stunning 13 521 093 silver!
Maby i'm wrong about the amount of Food for lvl 9 ? Because 13 miljon???? That can't be right?
(support email removed (http://forums.teamlava.com/showthread.php?15033-Do-not-post-Support-emails-in-the-forum))
This reply does nothing to help at all! I am using 150k food to feed a light dragon to epic and there are still some players using the old amount of food to feed a love dragon to epic. THAT IS JUST NOT RIGHT!
Even if you tell me the amount of food for the new dragons are up compare to the old types of dragon... that is fine but IF ONLY THAT APPLIES to all players. There are still players using the old amount to feed these new drgons to epic.
And another thing, the amount of food has gone up so much yet the amount to buy is still at 1500 food per 20 gold. how many thoudsands of gold do I need to buy just to feed dragons??
I used to love Dragon Story so much but now I am starting to feel so angry that I wanted to delete all my TL games.

I coluden't agree more. I also have this crazy Food amounts, but My hubby has the old. I'm going to try to unistall and then reinstall the app and hope it changes. As you can se in My earlier post it takes over 13,5 miljon silver to grow that much Food that i requiers to get ONE dragon to epic.....
The other thing i noticed is that you are from Sweden, so am i so maby it's ? lokal thing?
If I write another email to test them stating "I say apple, your turn... pls say orange..." wonder will they reply with the same pre-written msg :P

09-21-12, 02:06 PM
Ha ha ha, wonder why it's from Sweden ;). I truely feel sorry for your big Food loss, i didn't look that much but still have to feed them if i want them to level up. I lost about 25 000 Food witch also Took long time. It didn't HELP un and then reinstalling the app. But i noticed if i go back to the old version i can feed them at the lowering amount... So i guess, till they fix this i just do that. Hope for both you and me we get the Food we lost back, althoug i doubt it. Have ? Nice evig in Singapore, beliv you have ni?cer Weather tha us here in Sweden. Rain all day and yesterday even snow!

Thank you for that answer i don't agree. If you like you can give them My Nybergs and calculations avvek and they must realise the madness in those amounts. Way should i even bother breeding or evolving the new dragons if it takes 144 225 foods to get one to epic, that is 13,5 million silvers if i use the new crossed, and i haven't even started the Maths if should by the Food for real money.
? scorpion for an exempel givs me more money but costs less to evolv, so why bother with the white breed? I'm not asking you kooky just hoppning they read this.

The feeding levels are absolutely obnoxious and out of control for the new light dragons. I shrugged the levels off as nothing because of the coin boost gained with the new towers, but now that it seems if it was a bug (lava removed it), the feeding requirements are absolutely out of control. 15,000 food at level 9? this is insanity.
Lava, you need to restore the coin boost. I'm a very loyal customer, and have no problem purchasing in-app when needed. However, with things the way they are now (feeding levels out of control, coin boost gone, cost of clearing foliage, etc.) I'm leaning towards dropping this game entirely.
You're alienating your client base. If you intend on keeping the feeding levels the way they are now, you absolutely must restore the coin boost. If not, you must reduce the feeding levels immediately - it's beyond obnoxious.

Wow. Something weird happened today besides this. I had 10 gold, and I sped up breeding for 4 gold. I put it in the nest and went to breed Scorpion x Aether. It took my coins but put the dragons back in their habitats. Then the game crashes, I go back on and I have 6 gold but the magic egg wasn't in the nest it was still breeding. I used my gold again to speed it up and then it went in the nest AGAIN, and I went to breed and it worked that time. They stole 4 gold and prob 1,000 coins from me. Smh.

I had the same overnight increase in feeding quantities. When the New Dawn first came out, I saw that some players had these crazy food levels, but counted myself lucky that some of my white dragons had the same food levels as the other dragons and some had slightly higher levels. After about three days, some white dragons had small increases in the food quantities, but I still thought I was lucky not to have the 15,000 level 9 amount. We'll, no longer. Woke up this morning to huge increases in food requirements. Way to go TL!

Um. No.
I applauded TL for this new expansion, for listening to players and making an effort to make the game better.
But that is just. No. Absolutely not will I use those food amounts. It is so far beyond ridiculous as to be insulting. There is no "hopefully they will balance it out." There are dozens of games out there just like this with economies already balanced, and doing things like this just makes TL look like they are playing with their users to see how much they can get away with. I absolutely refuse to play unless those are fixed.

my white(also white hybrid) dragons LV9 need 15,000 food per feed
it may be take a year to feed them all to Epics

I agree, the amount of food needed for the new dragons is insane. I'm trying to breed a couple more dragons and then I think I will quit. There's no way I'm spending the time/coins it takes to raise these new dragons to higher levels.
infinitelove19
09-26-12, 02:40 PM
This has GOT to be a bug! The reason I believe so is because from my experience and what I see in this thread the feeding amount are varying widely for these new dragons.
I fed a Love and a Fuzzy up to epic, with the top level requiring 2000 per feeding. This is twice the old rate, and I *think* it is what was intended.
HOWEVER, I see here that someone, for their luck dragon was required to feed 15,000 PER FEEDING?!?!? That has got to be an error. I just fed my plain old light dragon to epic and the last feeding was 9,000 PER FEEDING. That is 45,000 food for just the one level. It's gotta be a bug. Please fix it TL!! Should I email them directly about this? Thanks.

09-27-12, 02:51 AM
Looks like the weekly update for this week is an exorbitant amount of food required to level up the light dragons. 1500 each feeding at level 6 to evolve to level 7. Plus the bug that allowed the coins to accumulate quickly for habitats that have the boost seems to have been fixed. Not the type of update I was looking forward to.:mad::mad::mad:

Last week it didn't take as much food to level up the light dragons. I believe it was 1500 per feeding from level 9 to 10. Now it's 1500 for level 6 to 7. Who knows how much it'll be to get them to level 10 now. Plus the habitats aren't cashing up as quick. The ones with the boosts were doing it at a rate of 3-4 coins a second. By the time I cleared all of my habitats my yellow one with 2 scorpions was ready to be collected again. It made cashing up a lot quicker. That's how somebody could easily get 5,000,000 in one day.

One of the mods has already reported that it is not a bug, it is intentional. I emailed support about two different issues at the same time yesterday- they got back to me about one unimportant one and ignored the one about this.

In response to the last commenter, lots of people are :mad: at teamlava, because they think/know they are greedy.
Teamlava are doing pretty bad on their economy. And the feeding rates are just outrageously mad. Sooooooooo impossible to get an epic dragon now. Thinkking about getting a lot of money from that, sometimes i go like, why do i even play this? If you don't put better stuff i probally stop playing.

don't know if they'll refund your food or not, but i noticed the same thing. the solution is to download and keep BOTH apps. Use NewDawn to access the new dragons and quests etc. Feed all white dragons through the old app (where they require the same amount of food as any other (240, 500, 1000 for levels 7,8,9). Hope this helps!

justplainlucas
10-25-12, 01:41 PM
To play devil's advocate, the light dragons are part of an expansion, and for all expansions, it's assumed that you've established yourself quite well in the initial game. I'm guessing TL assumes that everyone has been playing Dragon Story since its release and has loads of rares and super rares at epic evil, thus able to earn far more silver per hour to justify the increased feeding prices. But this just isn't the case. It's yet another broken facet of the game.
uevenliftbro
10-27-12, 07:53 AM
Let me get this straight.. TL made the food prices 15 times more than the old prices for the light dragons.. To put that in perspective..
It takes 144,300 food to level a light dragon from 1-10.(it takes 9620 for a non-light)
IF you were to have SIX farms and growing ONLY scalypears, you would be waiting ~687 HOURS to get that amount of food, spending ~2.679Million coins.
144,300(totalfood) / 700(foodperfarm) = 206 / 6(no.offarms) = 34 x 20(hourspergrow) = ~687(hourstotal)
144,300(totalfood) / 700(foodperfarm) = 206 x 13,000 = ~2,679,000(coinstotal)
Now, that would be TOO EASY, here's what would happen if you planted diamondates instead.. You would wait ~150 HOURS and pay over 13.5MILLION coins...
144,300(totalfood) / 800(foodperfarm) = 180 / 6(no.offarms) = 30 x 5(hourspergrow) = ~150(hourstotal)
144,300(totalfood) / 800(foodperfarm) = 180 x 75,000(costpergrow) = ~13,528,000(coinstotal)
In other words you (literally) wait a whole MONTH by growing scalypears in turn saving some coins OR you spend ~5x the amount of coins and only wait just under a week.
All statistics are assuming that you are playing actively and replanting your crops the second that they are finished, stats are under calculated if this factor is not included.
And TL wonders why this bothers us?..
uevenliftbro
10-27-12, 08:03 AM
Just to add, if I was to spend GOLD to get that amount of food(I'm lvl 63) it would cost 1,924 gold(@18,750per250gold) which comes to $73 dollars if i was to buy the 2900 gold deal.($74 buying 1400 and 530 separately, which comes close enough).
Good calculations OP.
I don't think many of us would care if the prices/food amounts were double but fifteen times is just ridiculous.

I dont understand. My light dragon is now level 9, and each feeding is 1000, same as every other dragon?? Why do people keep sayings its more expensive? Does it go above level 10 or do u feed it after last evolution?
What version are you playing? In the new dawn to feed ligh dragons on level 9 you need 15,000 * 5 to get to level 10

well if having a n epic dragon would get better results in breeding .. i would understand to try and have epics.... but since epics don't make a difference just feed them to level 6 or 7
So, it really doesn't matter if you breed with Epics or not? You have as much chance of getting what you want using low level dragons? Or is there a "magic number" that the dragons levels should be at in order to be more successful at breeding?

If I remember correctly one of tl staff not sure if it was DW stated that levels and order didn't matter nor names

OP's post is why most the people I know quit playing the game. Even if you could plant diamondates every time the farm was available could you make the money that fast? And if so you may as well say goodbye to expanding, buying new habitats and deco etc.

Exactly, it has really made me lose most motivation to actually play the game any more..
I did a calculation too and got about the same with the Diamondates:
It takes a week to produce enough apples to evolve light to epic, and it'll cost you a total of 13 million coins.
I also did a calculation with Rushrooms:
1800 apples per hour which cost you 156000 coins.
144225 apples / 1800 apples = 80.125 hrs
80.125 hrs x 156000 coins = 12499500 coins, or 12,5 million if you like.
80.125 hrs / 24 hrs = 3.33 days.
Depends if you can earn that much coins within those 3.33 days.... Which I doubt.
*Sigh*..T_T

realistically it would take you twice that amount of time doing rushrooms since you aren't going to be awake 24/7.. it wouldn't be worth your time planting them every single hour

I just spent an hour calculating and the GD forum timed me out and lost the post. So mad.
I just TRIED to post that the only incentive to level the light dragons to 10 is the light boost. Then I calculated how much the boost gave in coins compared to how long it would take at that boost level to earn back the coins you spent leveling all 10 dragons.
If you had 3 big light habitats with 3 Sunrise dragons each (and the 10th light dragon somewhere else), they would earn $3300/hr each, and would hit capacity (WITH the light boost) at 2.6 hours. So for the sake of round numbers, if you collected coins every 2.5 hours, you would get $8250 (as opposed to the current capacity of $7200). $8250 x 3 habitats gives you $24,750 coins every 2.5 hours.
144,225 food for 1 Sunrise dragon. If you harvest pumpwings EVERY 5 hours, it would take 3,205 hours (133 days) and cost $2,051,200 coins
So if you divide that by 24,750, it would take you ~83 times collecting to make back the money you just spent for 1 dragon, 830 for 10.
Multiply by 2.5 hours each collection, = 2075 hours or 86.5 days to earn back the coins you spend leveling all 10 dragons
If you use Diamondates, it comes out to $13,500,000 to level 1 dragon, 545 times to collect, 13,625 hours or 568 days
In sum:
Pumpwings, you would spend 1330 days and $20.1M coins leveling 10 Sunrise dragons to get a light boost that would take you 87 days to pay for itself
or
Diamondates, you would spend 70 days and $135M coins to level 10 dragons to get a light boost that would take 568 days (almost two years) of continuously collecting every 2.5 hours to pay for itself
dragonolic
10-29-12, 10:18 AM
And to break it down even more, you'd spend a total of 1417 days leveling with pumpwings to even out, and 638 days with diamondates

don't know if they'll refund your food or not, but i noticed the same thing. the solution is to download and keep BOTH apps. Use NewDawn to access the new dragons and quests etc. Feed all white dragons through the old app (where they require the same amount of food as any other (240, 500, 1000 for levels 7,8,9). Hope this helps!

Hope everyone managed to get their light dragons to epic thru the old app.... because TL has "fixed" it. We can't feed any dragon through the old app(old version) already..... sad.....

So i finally got the boo dragon and now i don't know if should feed it to epic or not. I sure have the food thats needed but that will mean three weeks of planting will go down one dragons digestion system.
If i don't feed this one i can feed 15 non whitehybrids to epic insted. On the other hand most of my dragons allready are in epic form.
I did feed this one to lvl 6 and now it's evolving so it's the last and extrem foodkonsuming lvls i'm hesitating about. I'm also still quite upset about those whitehybrids food amounts and don't like to be forced in to something i consider totaly wrong. But in the same time i do have the possibility since i do got enough food, not everybody have that choice. It jut feel so wrong, like i accept it, if i do feed her.....

Same dilemma here -.- I have a hypnotic at level 9, so I need 75,000 food for it to go to epic. That's waaaayyy too much for me. My boo is still in the nest so I might leave it as a baby.... On the other hand, I also have the zombie almost in epic, and it looks so much cooler fully evolved so I might go for that one and forget the white hybrids for a while. I only need one more white hybrid for the boost, but it's ****in' me >.<
I was dumb not to fake full advantage of the food "gl itch" while it lasted, after all I only needed one more white hybrid in epic, but I got distracted with something else... And before I knew it, TL forced me to update the game. Dangnabbit.

Acctually i haven't updated yet, probarbly beeing a fool to think they might bring my invisible dragons back.... What i did discover though is that the boo dragon is a really moneymaker. She makes 1596 coins per hour at lvl 7. On the other hand i don't need more money and is stubburn as ( a word that would be edited som i don't write it) so i probarbly leave her at lvl 7 till i see what the new dragon will be colorways.

Ofcourse, when i noticed the money it makes i couldn't wait. I'm as impatient that i'm stubborn. So i evolved it tomepic ( yes it lost me 12 golds) and in epic it makes 2240 coins per hour. If i'm not misstaken thats the best of al the non diamonds?

So i lack: ice cream, dream, pegasus and laserlight. A lot of feeding if I were to get them to epic. Nah!
Hi all, why is it taking so much food now to feed my light dragons? at the moment it cost 7500 to feed once a level eight dragon!!! i cant poissibly keep feeding my light dragons at this cost it would take weeks to get an epic. To feed all other dragon types it is only 500. Any ideas why the big increase?

I'm not going to say, I'm 100% sure, more like 99%, but TL has lowered the feeding costs for lights.
Correct me if I'm wrong but to feed a light hybrid from 7 -> 8 lvl used to be 3600 per feed, now it's 1200.
It seems to me, they put the costs down to 1/3 what they used to be. Sounds fair to me.
Lava, you need to restore the coin boost. I'm a very loyal customer, and have no problem purchasing in-app when needed. However, with things the way they are now (feeding levels out of control, coin boost gone, cost of clearing foliage, etc.) I'm leaning towards dropping this game entirely.
Since playing TL games, I've not seen any evidence of them them thinking of the players. $$$$ is their only interest. I play other games and the difference is so evident. It's a shame

How did the cost both go UP as people have reported and then go DOWN at the same time? Did the cost increase for the early levels and then decrease for the last few levels? Was there another update on top of the other update that changed the increase to a decrease? Were some iOS users on a different Food Cost schedule than other iOS users and so experienced the updates differently?

It was like, when New Dawn first came out, Light dragons cost the same to feed. After a few weeks or something like that, feeding cost became FIFTEEN TIMES what it used to be - meaning it would cost 15,000 to feed them in level 9 for a total of 75,000 just to get them to fill up lvl9.
A lot of people (such as myself, bwahahaha) kept feeding them through the "old" dragons story, because the feeding cost had not changed and light dragons were available there. But after some time, they eventually FORCED us to update the old DS - they sent out an update in the app store claiming there were bug fixes for the old version, and everyone was like "why would they update the old version instead of New Dawn?"
But I (and others) didn't update, so after a few days they made all the dragons in the old app disappear, so the old app became virtually useless. So we had to update -.-
But recently there was yet another update, and since then the light dragons feeding cost DECREASED three times, meaning it now costs 5,000 food a pop in level 9, summing up to 25,000 food to get them to fill up lvl9.

But recently there was yet another update, and since then the light dragons feeding cost DECREASED three times, meaning it now costs 5,000 food a pop in level 9, summing up to 25,000 food to get them to fill up lvl9.
So there were basically discrepancies between the old and new games on the iOS and eventually, the change simply got force-pushed to both versions?
Geebuz, so confusing! Thanks for clearing that up. In my New Dawn game (started in late October), my game became a mishmash of out-of-sync/old game and new game bits and pieces when I updated my game in early November thinking and believing that there were actual 'bug fixes' and 'performance fixes'. Pfffft.

Precisely! No problem. :) lolNOPE, they fixed what best fittec their interests - feeding cost. Most recent version is the old app now.

I believe this was planned all along. They started at 100k+ for getting a light dragon to epic so when they lowered it to 43500 it doesn't seem bad, but it is, it very much is. That's still 4x the amount of a regular dragon, and their coin rate is nothing significantly higher? If it's going to cost 4x then maybe we should be getting 4x the amount of coins from them?

I think so too. They wanted it (the current ammount) to seem "not as bad" in comparison.

on apple it cost more to feed lights, anything with light in it cost a ton of food, rolling back to a older patch will not change this. i would say grow your purples till you get some much a hour you can spend coin on the longer grown food, or just sit there doing the 30 second CD while you watch some movies like i did.
I've got many Light Ibrids and i'm growing up faster cause i know that for many the food cost is higher then normal dragons...
but both OS iOS and Android got the same problem or i'm simply lucky to have no differences? :confused:

I used to play dragon story (new dawn) on my android phone. Yesterday i only had to feed my lvl 9 snowman dragon 1000 food per click.
Today I got my new iPhone and I transfered my dragon story to the new device (not new dawn).
And suddenly i have to feed my lvl 9 snowman dragon 5000 food per click.
Also the need food for other dragons increased dramatically.
Whats wrong here ???

Nothing is wrong. TL has made the eco this way. The Light, LE and Pink Dragons have increased food amounts. I'm sure if you did a search here on the forum you'd find a lot of info on this ;)

I believe that TL needs to update their food/coin for gold list. Now that it costs over 40,000 food to raise most dragons to epic who would pay 250($10) gold for 18000 food? Same with coins. Our current intake is so much I would never pay 250 gold for 1.1 mill coins.

Yes they staged in updated food costs with the new dawn release and I troductio. Of the light dragons. This slows down the game e a bit as it takes longer to get food and evolve dragons. It also makes it more possible that people will buy go.d to pay for certain aspects of the game and thus TL makes more money. Kinda sneaky but it works.

my forest at level 9 was 1000 gold per feed as well gonna wait a long while
Android players on DS Valentines are now seeing what's an inevitable reality for iOS players like myself who started with New Dawn and have no cheap-food version to switch back to.
The dragons are on different diets depending on their rank.
1. Fire, Forest, Air & Wild eat 5x1 fruit at L1 and 5x1000 at L9.
2. Water & 1st-generation hybrids eat 5x2 fruit at L1 and 5x2000 at L9.
3. Magic, Light & Virtue eat 5x3 fruit at L1 and 5x3000 at L9.
4. White hybrids and Valentine dragons eat 5x4 fruit at L1 and 5x4000 at L9.
5. Purple hybrids eat 5x5 fruit at L1 and 5x5000 at L9.
* Caesar eats 5x15 fruit at L1 and 5x15000 at L9!
I have no idea what diamonds or diamond hybrids eat.
Note that everything defaults upward, so a purple-white hybrid is on the more costly white hybrid diet; not the purple hybrid diet.
4. Purple hybrids eat 5x4 fruit at L1 and 5x4000 at L9.
5. White hybrids and Valentine dragons eat 5x5 fruit at L1 and 5x5000 at L9.

I didn't see the prices because I hadn't noticed any problems before but it cost me about 50,000 to gain the last few levels. Is this normal for many dragons?

03-01-13, 04:40 PM
There might be a thread for this already but I couldn't find it...
Is anyone else annoyed at how the new dragons take 10,000 food to feed at level 9? I was going to attempt to breed the topaz dragon to level ten for the contest but when I got to level 8 and it required 5,600 food I just gave up. I am not a new player either. I maxed out my levels a few months ago and I have over 75 different dragons. I spend to much money on gold and I spend a lot of time playing. With this being said I STILL THINK THEY ARE CHARGING US TO MUCH FOOD!
It really aggravates me when every new dragon I breed, IE, Rose, Fireworks, Elf, has 5,000 as its final feeding amount. What happened to maxing out at 1,000. I would even settle for a max price of 3,000 such as the one for the Virtue dragon and Light dragon.
I feel like team lava is adding dragons too fast and making the chances of breeding the new dragons too low. If they keep making the game harder and harder they are going to deter people from playing it. People don't like games that they feel are set up for them to lose at. I can handle breeding pink and purple over 45 times to get an Origami dragon, or knowing that it will take me weeks to get Griffin dragon even with buying gold, but I CAN NOT STAND knowing that every dragon that comes out is going to cost more food that I want to feed it and is going to take weeks to get. Oh and that while I am trying to breed it 10 new dragons that no one has room for will have been introduced.
Anyone else feeling stirred up about this?

What version are you playing on? I started off on Valentine's edition and noticed it took a lot to feed especially Elf, he took 5000 on level 9 I check back on the original and he is only 1000 on level 9... A lot of them are cheaper to feed on DS & ND and I'm not sure why they cost so much on Valentine's....
I get what you mean though, when I saw that people got the nest for 25 gold I didn't understand why it went up to 250 gold.

stoogehunter
03-04-13, 09:38 AM
It's 5600 x 5 at level 8 :(
I don't know if it's the only reason but one reason they're raising the prices is to make the game more challenging. There are high level players with millions of coins and tons of food. Bringing the food costs up may help keep the game interesting longer.

Leveling the amount of food you feed with your current level seems like more of a solution if you ask me. Otherwise, it's very very discouraging to new players.

kwhales
03-04-13, 05:11 PM
Maybe the cost of food should be determined by a players level. Say a lower level would buy diamondates for 25000 not 75000. Then as they level up and the ability to earn coins increases, so does the price.

But we should also have the same exact in game options etc. Maybe these outrageous cost wouldn't be as bad if we had all the options IOS has. I won't bother listing the things we don't have because they will tell me to post in the correct thread. And for those that are telling us to quit playing if wee don't like it. Some of us have devoted a lot of time and real money on this game, so its awful hard to just quit. and how dare you tell someone to stop posting their opinion. Everyone is entitled to complain. And as some (not all) IOS users told us, if you don't like us complaining don't read their android threads.

Those are idiots being idiots. Nevermind them - Kharma should bite them in that certain place :p as an iOS user(partially android too) I was really upset with the feeding cost because it is unfair.
We have more stuff, we've had more stuff for months so I thought it would be minimally fairto let you guys keep your lower feeding costs as compensation. I actually believe there was a poll somewhere, and a discussion surrounding this whole subject!

On the New Dawn version its quite lot of food to feed the dragon, but it can balance with upgraded farm
Now, starting from Topaz Dragon, we have to feed dragon 5600 food x 5 at lvl 8, 10000 food x 5 on lvl 9 ... please consider it again, Teamlava need to make another option either
1. New farm upgrade with new variation of food so we can feed the dragon become epic one, or decrease the food
2. Decrease the amount of the food
Suggestion for farm upgrade:
Charmed Farm
Cost to build: 350.000 or 500.000 dragon coins
Build Time: 24 or 28hrs
Level Available: 32
Food Type :
Speedberry (Strawberry)
Rapidish (Rapid Radish)
Higheydew (Honeydew)
Doublermelon (Watermelon)
Expreach (Express Peach)
Fastato (Fast Potato)

I totally agree. It is getting harder and harder to get our dragons to Epic form! Especially the Black ones, GemStone Dragons and Three-Colored Hybrids. I do not care about how much food it takes to get them to Level 10. What I care about is that it became very very hard to produce that amount of food. In other words: FARMS ARE NOT ENOUGH AND SHOULD BE UPGRADED ASAP. TL is making marvellous upgrades for the last few months. How can they skip such an idea???
infinitelove19
03-14-13, 07:03 AM
Feeding costs, considering farm production is RIDICULOUS!!!
The food needed to level up from level 9-10 is 50,000 food now.
Diamondates on all 6 farms produce 6x800 = 4800 every 5 hours & let's just round that up to 5000 for easy math. So, harvesting diamondates around the clock would take 50 hours (plus) to get one dragon from level 9 to level 10.
Technically one can get the highest food production using upgrapes, but harvesting & planting every 10 minutes gets old really fast & is only marginally more affordable. Please, teamlava, STOP with the high feeding amounts!!!

Never got any of the contest dragons to epic, the best I did is level 9

No difference in outcome even if the dragons are epic. It is pure luck. You can install new dawn to avoid the hassle of having to quit the game to recover the excess food. But use spring edition for everything else. And what I mean by quitting the game is to force close and open the game again (load the home screen..). Lastly, play the game at your own pace. No point getting stressed out by this.

it never fully reimbursed to food. you just got a little back and it happened when the game forced closed which for android players happens every time you try to do anything like visit neighbors, send gifts, respond to map requests, go to the market etc.... so it made the extremely frustrating aspect of the game force closing a little bearable since we don't have much going for us. and we still had to pay for our food like everyone else.

Yes food cost finally wasnt increase because some food came back. We paid usual android food cost. Evolving never been for free.

like the cosmic? he is ridiculous at least have them earn more coins so we can have a fighting chance of feeding our dragons. it's a horrible circle or dragons don't make a decent amount till they are epic but you need so much food to get them there while the dragons aren't earning a whole lot of coins. there supply and demand is a little skewed.
My advice for making dragons Epic is doing it one at a time. Before I used to try and get all my dragons fed simultaneously and I ended up spending what was meant to be the Hypnotic's meal on the Flower, etc.
Also, if you are staying where there is Internet do Rushrooms every hour. If you are going somewhere, or to sleep, plant Diamondates (mix in with Eliteleeks if you can't afford 6 Dates)

i can't afford the rushrooms all the time. maybe once a day. i do only take one to epic but it takes like three to four days for the food feed him a level then wait another three to four days or longer as the cost goes up. and do that ten times. it's disheartening

Yes, it's. I've noticed it when I borrowed my uncle's iPad.

I think we have to wait until reset? I don't see anything different too.
Mine haven't changed either I force closed to try and reset and it is still the same

Hmm, I'm on android though, but I'll try to guess. Do you see the food went up on old dragons like Firestorm or Parakeet? if not, how much it cost to feed at level.....?
Mine showed 2 apples or cost 10 apples for level 1 Parakeet, is that already happened since a long time ago?
