New habitats costs gold?? Why?

[lala_gabbana]

I got a little excited when I saw that new habitats were available for fire and forest dragons. They can now hold 4 dragons per habitat. I go to the market to purchase one and was shocked. 500 gold for a habitat?? No wonder why there's a sale on gold. Thats not fair to the people who are maxed at 35 habitats, and you cant put dragons in storage to switch them in. Looks like i wont be getting these.

[chewytwix]

not interested either

[coolio275]

Couldn't you sell some of the dragons you have that are low level commons and breed them later so you can sell the habitat?

I'm also really mad that they made the new habitats cost gold, if it was like 50 gold or something, I'd go for it but this is ridiculous.

[coolgamegirl27]

No this isn't right..Habitats should be for coins not gold. Really How Ridiculous....after all the great updates this month TL pull a stunt like this..WHY!!!!

I could, if they weren't all epics. Im currently trading my duplicate commons but still. 4 per habitat would be nice.. All those coins and more decorating space. Im slowly giving up on the game.

[foxxiegirl]

Actually this was suggested a while back. I believe ( and forgive me if i'm wrong hun) Dazy and I posted when a few others and said in other TL games you can unlock more slots with gold. So we thought why can't we get more habbys with gold here. TL executed this a little different but still kinda the same idea since we do get more space.

[Lolas_Kryptonite]

How is it a stunt? lol. Do you currently have 35 habitats that are totally full? That includes no duplicate dragons in any at all.

[lala_gabbana]

Regardless if people are at max or not, the fact is.. More dragons per habitat, More coins per habitat, and more space. I wouldnt mind using gold to unlock an extra slot on a previously paid COIN habitat, but to have one start out as gold, negative.

[DragonRA7]

I can't believe how low team lava is sinking really? Take the price of gold down maybe, sale price isn't even that great... There insane they expect people to pay 16-20$ for a new hab and it's just a couple pixels. Price gouging if you ask me... They'd make more money in the long run if they reasonably priced the gold...

[habibass]

As long as there are people who buy it anyway, it will keep being the same or even getting worse...

Yes your right it was suggested by the gold spenders.... I agree tl good to offer thus for those willing to spend gold to buy it

But it doesn't make sense since it takes place of your 35 habitats which still counts as one... But only holds 1 more dragon

It would be worth it if it didn't count towards your 35 habitats

[magzlitex777]

I think that instead of making a whole new habitat maybe they should have made the existing ones upgradable like they made the farms. And on a sidenote instead of spending time making new habitats maybe they should've spent time on catching android and kindle fire platforms up on updates. I would be more inclined to spend my real money on getting gold if the kindle fire platform wasnt 4 updates behind. I do however like the look of the new habitats and will be saving my gold bar gifts to get my existing habitats revamped. And I agree with foxxi and sweet it is very rude to speak so bad about people and what they do with their money.

[lala_gabbana]

I wasnt easily fooled, because I didn't and won't buy it. If gold buyers want to spend money for it, they can. They have that right. I'll pocket my money and spend it on something useful, like bills.

[Momoko_peach]

Just tell me, decorations lovers, why then they didnt release the so called pink banner for our dragons ? Because they wont sell it 500 gold. 10 or 20 gold is not interesting anymore for them !
It is what YOU have done with all the games that people loved to play without being bothered by LE, thousands of sales and pop ups for spending more and more of our gold !
Yay, let rush into everything they'll release, even if it worths it or not ! Good job, really...

[Momoko_peach]

And i wont talk about the treasure cave which costs 500 gold and drops 1 gold once a month, regarding the comments of people who did bought it lol...
This game became a complete non sense.
I vote for a dragon casino for the next update, or a dragon bank, which take 100 gold per month to play the game... That should be interesting.

[lala_gabbana]

Im a little upset about them being gold items, but its not the end of the world. Like i said, im not buying. I like to decorate and im not a gold buyer. Thats my personal choice. But i wouldnt go as far as by calling people out because they purchase gold. Their game, their choice. I would never chastise someone for keeping the game that I love to play alive by purchasing gold. That was harsh.

Agree, I'm also not gold buyer.... Still like the game and more now since yesterday I finally bred my diamond dragon

[klaineisland]

I don't think this is a big deal at all. You don't HAVE to buy these new habitats, your island can easily exist without them, so if they want to make money off something totally frivolous then by all means!

Now if they would just sell a second evolution temple or third nest... ;)

[magzlitex777]

The cave actually drops 21 gold every 22 hours. That info is coming from one of the admins. Where did you get your info from again or was it another assumption

I COMPLETELY agree!!!!

[DragonRA7]

People that say that there a business and need to make money obviously don't know how to make money in the digital economy nor does team lava. i know for a fact they'd make more money by lowering the gold to a price where everyone can partake in supporting the game not just people who are able to throw money away... Like maybe $1 for 100 gold i know for a fact if they priced it as such they would double or even triple there income cause more people would be willing to spend that and would continue to support the game at more reasonable price makes..

[Darkstorm2]

500 gold to hold one extra dragon is an outrage... I suggested upgrading the habitats but not for gold... Make them an exorbitant amount of coins and let people buy gold to exchange for coins if they want... Not bright thinking TL... You missed this one!

I agree. If they lowered the price more people would be able to afford or would be more unclined to spend. Whet I was saying is if no one was spending money on getting gold they wouldn't make money. Iso feel the price of the gold is an issue though

What i am trying to explain is that the game has been spoiled because all of this.
And i am been stupid before, because I did spent gold.
But in the beginning, we were all excited about the diamond dragon, then by the hybrids...

Now what..? Ten pop ups appear each time you run the game, telling you about LE (hurry up, BUY it ! It?s now or never !), gold sales, breedings which are getting impossible because of more and more species...
Every updates are now about gold items.
I knew this game since the very beginning, and all I can say is that it did changed.
And I am angry, because I have done this far for nothing, because it is no more interesting.

When a fisherman get many fishes with a type of bait, what will he do ? he will try to improve it, to make some more, in order to have more fish, and so on.

I don't want to be treated like this anymore.
And this game has lost his quality because of that.
Now I play bingo before it gets spoiled by gold alerts...

[magzlitex777]

21 gold for 500 gold ??
Excuse me, it drastically changes everything (irony, again..)

21 gold every 22 hours for 30 days equals 675 gold which makes back the gold it costs to get it and gives you an extra 175 gold. I'm sorry if I didn't explain things clearly enough. I though in my last post.

[magzlitex777]

You also don't have to use your real money. You can actually get up too 200 gold in gifts a day. Let me clear that up a person can send 3 gifts of gold a day and receive 200 gifts of gold s day.

Do you know if you can buy more than one?

[Momoko_peach]

Well, well, well...
I am really leaving now. Have some good..uh.. Discussions. Even if you dont care about what has been sais two lines before.
You made me realize that I am completly recovered from all this madness. Thanks for that, at least.

I'm not sure. Piny hasn't said if you can or not in that thread

I'm not sure. Piny hasn't said if you can or not in that thread

Thanks... It's a good investment if you buy it for 500 and get 175 back profit and the after you can buy another and get another 175 profit

But yeah would be great to know if it's possible

[mamareader02]

Yes,Foxxie,you and I said we needed ability to unlock more habitats-but I think we were goin for the idea you could use gold to buy over the max amount of habitats-not count as one of the 35!even as a rare gold buyer,no way am I shelling out $20 for one extra dragon!so not the idea we were goin for!just wanted the ability to go OVER the max allowance(like RS,fs,and bs)

I will admit, if the prices were lower, I would definitely buy gold more frequently. (Or at all) Because $3 here and there, while it adds up, doesn't feel like a lot at the time, so I feel much less guilty spending it. (Kind of like a Starbucks coffee!)

I just can't imagine how someone has $50 (or even $20 honestly) to spend on a game like this.

[wxrocky6]

Team Lava you officially suck majorly. You ruined the game. There is no way I'm getting one of the new habitats.

I had to finish with that.
Maybe you will figure one day what I am experiencing. Sorry for the bad words, but the "stupid" was also against myself, and all that time spent for a commercial machination.
I just hope that they wont go too far, and ask like 20000 gold for a "super dragon", or something like that. There is actually fragile people that compulsively waste their money.
Just tell me what use are the coins for, now ? Lol
Buying food. That?s all.
Five minutes to draw a pink banner. But banner are for coins, not gold. Not interesting.
Have a good new year everybody, and sorry again if I have hurted you.
Have some good times with Cupidon dragon, easter dragon, and other commercial events themed things.

You also don't have to use your real money. You can actually get up too 200 gold in gifts a day. Let me clear that up a person can send 3 gifts of gold a day and receive 200 gifts of gold s day.

Umm wrong you can only get 20 gold a day.... That would be another option up the amount you can receive a day...

[jl0408]

I agree 500 gold is insane just to have room for 4 dragons instead of the 3 you get with a large habitat that is purchasable with earned coins. You would have to buy several of these 4 room habis to make it worth the space saving and that is a lot of money. I've been saving gold since September just to get the 250 for a second nest. I need 1 more piece. At that rate, it would take me a year to get enough to buy one and at that point I'd probably prefer a 3rd nest which I think is also 500 gold.

[magzlitex777]

Umm wrong you can only get 20 gold a day.... That would be another option up the amount you can receive a day...

My mistake I could've sworn one of the admins advised in a different thread that a person could receive up to 200 a day. But either way a person does have that option to save the gold that is given to them by other people.

It is 20 for receiving gold and maps per day. Most people are lucky if they get 5 gold in a day. Most days I get 2 a day and some days none. I send 3 regardless. That's why after 4 months of playing I still haven't gotten enough to buy a 2nd nest. Hopefully, my day will come tomorrow. I rarely use gold to speed up breeding. I think I only used gold on purpose a couple of times when the Thanksgiving LE Turkey came out. I didn't help me get it. So these habitats will likely only be bought by those who can afford to through money around.

I think I get about 4 or 5 a day. My mom has two games an we give each other gold and than there are some other neighbors that do the same. I give out my three each day. I wish we could give out more though I think it would make things less irratating at times. It ****s me to save gold for a really long time lol so I admire your presistance

[Tango_K]

50gold per habitat would be reasonable but 500? Nt everyone can buy gold u know D:

[kwhales]

You really don't have to buy the new habitats. They are just luxury, like a 2nd or 3rd nest. You can still play without them. But I do agree, a tad expensive for me.

[Cyclohexane]

I do not mind the way the habitats were implemented. It is something some people want and I'll just ignore that feature or look at other peoples island. I personally feel habitats are to crowded as is and it makes it difficult to see one dragon. They need to be larger, or connectable to look more realistic. Cramming 1 more in a habitat will make that effect worse.

We shouldn't have to spend time moving 3 dragons around the islands for enough to sell a habitat just to be replaced with one slightly larger. Just make it upgradable costing gold. But I'd only spend gold on this if I managed to save up that much without hitting a gold trap which is impossible with the lag I get.


What does bother me is that this "update" works on the Android. Why do we get this update that few people are excited about, when we want crafting, albums, trading, building boosts, reward dragons, etc.

[Nefertekas]

Gee, you sure know more about what we're making than I do :P

http://i.imgur.com/0iyth.png

JAAAAAAAAAKE you rascal. :D <3
And nevermind the angsters and the ones who scream "THE WORLD IS OVER!!" whenever they dislike an update amd addition. I can't afford the new habitats but I won't dramatize over it. Tough they're pretty...*sniff* (I like rainbows)

On another note: weeee, pink banner! :D

[grondai]

I buy lots of gold and I would never spend 500 of it on a larger habitat. I could see 100-200g. I don't think this price will stay very long. I don't think a compulsive buyer would have enough money

[Tango_K]

But the habitat is so nice! I want one one but cnt buy gold!

[grondai]

Nothing we want (and thus would be willing to pay for) at a reasonable price.
Still no album etc etc.
Still no Castle story.

Vote with your wallet. 50g for the habitat, I would buy them. 500 for the habitat means I won't be buying anything. Your call TL.

The world is NOT ending, I am not lying on the floor crying out "Why can't I have it?!?!?!" I am simply resigned to the fact that I will play it (without paying) until something worthwhile comes along. That is to say these kind of updates turn me into the worst customer. I don't pay, I DO play and I []about it. <shrug>
YOU created me TL, I am really easy to please AND I have a large amount of disposable cash, all you have to do is make things that are actually worthwhile (habitats/extra breeding den/increased habitat limit) for a reasonable price ($5/$10/$5)

To confirm, you can accept up to 20 Gold per day as Gifts. If you saw 200, it was definitely a typo. :P

[Horntail21]

So I just got back from travelling and saw this. I don't see anything wrong with the new habitats costing gold but 500?! Wow ie never even come close to saving 50. Upping the max dragon capacity by one for 500 gold seems way over the edge to me. Oh well, I will do the best with what I have now.

[bitealot]

They should cost coins. hard to get gold, have to reply on gifts, i get 3 a day some times a little more, and droids dont get the gold bonus for playing other games. and it is hard to spend real money on a game that does not give you the same updates as apple users.

[lucky8canuck]

500 gold is way too much for the new habitats. Would have preferred a large amount of silver coins for purchasing the habitats, even if it was a huge jump from small, then big to large. For example, current small red habitat is 200, big is 5,000 (200x25), so larger could have been 500,000 (5000x100). Small green is 500, big green is 15,000 (500x30), so larger green could have been 1,875,000 (15,000x125), etc.

Yes, there are many players who are probably sitting on a lot of silver coins since they have been playing for a while, so buying up a lot of the larger habitats would be easy for them, but at least the larger habitats would be accessible to more people who may not be able to afford 500 gold/habitat but who may be willing to spend smaller amounts of gold to speed up the building of these larger habitats or breeding of dragons to fill the habitats.

[flowless]

First u really don't need to buy them
It's an option for those who are interested

It's too costly just to add a single dragon

But if they were adding option also to be able to connect habbits that would be aweosome
Dont like my dragons crowded

And after they made that house I bought for 80 gems craftable I dont trust they won't do the same again
So no more buying gold for decorations any more

Now if it was a second island , breeding den
U got my money

But I like that we are getting many updates
Keep up the good work tl

I am on an android and I have gotten gold for loading and playing other TL games.

However, I still think the cost of the new habitats is outrageous. I also don't understand why new expensive habitats can be available for android at the same time as iOS but trading, crafting, album, and pink dragons can't.

[faisal01911349250]

U know am pretty mad about it costing gold but I don't really even kno why r they here I mean the poll that was started on Dec 10 had the option to vote for it but it didn't win (additional breeding dens won) and in the poll it was written habitat to hold 5/6 dragons not 4 so as long as this is a normal weekly update I'm fine with it but if this is what we got as a result of that poll then I just have one thing to say to TL: why do u keep polls if u don't give us the things that win?

For example, current small red habitat is 200, big is 5,000 (200x25), so larger could have been 500,000 (5000x100). Small green is 500, big green is 15,000 (500x30), so larger green could have been 1,875,000 (15,000x125), etc.

Yes, there are many players who are probably sitting on a lot of silver coins since they have been playing for a while, so buying up a lot of the larger habitats would be easy for them, but at least the larger habitats would be accessible to more people who may not be able to afford 500 gold/habitat but who may be willing to spend smaller amounts of gold to speed up the building of these larger habitats or breeding of dragons to fill the habitats.
That would be too low a price. If these habitats were buyable with coins, I'd aim for millions, not thousands. Say, five or six million per habitat.
Why, you ask?
Well, lower levels don't "need" these as much as higher level players do. The longer you play, the more dragons you accumulate, and the more...er..."status"?
Anyway, after a certain point when the island starts getting crowded with rares and super rares (or hopefully) , then a habitat that can hold an extra makes perfect sense. Millions of coins are still somewhat complicated to get, but indeed higher levels can easily be sitting on over 10 million (in about 2 weeks i doubled my coins,even when planting the costly food often) so it would still be a challenge, but easier as you increase level and earn more coins.
As i said, higher levels have more reasons to have these habitats.

However, i understand that they're selling them for gold. Just the ammount,it's dizzying! I would buy one for 100 gold tops.

For 500 gold, the habitats should hold twice as many dragons at least and not count towards the habitat cap. One extra dragon is not worth it IMO. I bet tons of people would spend 500 gold on a second breeding den or evolution temple, but these new habitats, not so much. I'll have to be careful not to accidentally click on one since I have just over 500 gold.

[Nefertekas]

Well, there is "some" safety to it... We need to place the habitats before buying them, so at least there's less of a margin for an accidental purchase.

Five minutes to make it. And to tend to calm down people like me. Not the lemmings ones, of course.

[Momoko_peach]

Gee, you sure know more about what we're making than I do :P

Still beautiful, though.

I upgraded all of my habitats to big ones. But, imagine to upgrade all of the big habitats into epic habitats. you have to spend 500 gold x 35 = 17 500 gold. Ha ha!
And all of that is for what? Extra 1 dragon? Why should I pay that much gold for one slot?

[jrocket97]

I'd buy it if it um, wasn't $20 a habitat. I could see a dollar or two, but Team Lava's too greedy to be reasonable, so I'll just sit back and laugh at the people that fall for their trap.

[henrylucky]

I'll never buy these habitats
But, if they just cost 50-80 gold, I'll think twice and stock my gold until the price :)

[mamareader02]

I figured they should cost about the same as a new slot or appliance opening-$10

I am thinking about dropping the game. I understand TL is here to mke money. But not everyone can buy gold. Allow at least one dragon from each variety to be bought with coins so we can try to breed the other dragons. Or why not instead of having us spend 10,000 incoins to achieve a goal that earns us 1,000. Allow us to have a goal of the "golden dragon" i am over crowded with dragons of the same kind and about to give up. What is the point.

This is not a problem for me. TL is a business ... you know what happens to businesses that don't make money?

I treat it like every single other business I deal with from day to day. If what they offer is something I want, and I have the money for it and feel it's worth the price, I buy it. If I don't .... I don't buy it.

So if not everyone can buy gold, let those who can buy gold do so to support the team. The rest of us bask in updates and keep trying repeatedly to breed the dragons we want. That's how we play it. And if we automatically got a dragon we wanted, that would take the fun out of things! :)

Teamlava is getting greedy lol

Fist-cost (ii did i from my kindle :) )

500 gold for 1 extra dragon space is excessive and I for one will not be buying any.

[CuddlyDragon]

Due to the wonder large amount of posts I had to delete, I will be locking this thread.

Please make sure to stay on topic and keep the flame wars to a minimum. :)

Im an android user, don't know if that makes a difference or not, thought I should mention it just in case. So I was able to get the initial increase, but wonder why I can't "upgrade" my current habitats to the new larger ones? Do I have to sell off my babies , and their habitat in order to get the new larger ones? (I currently already have the Max. Amt. Allowed) but even before the new ones came out I was able to upgrade. ??????

[Nefertekas]

The new habitats cost gold, not coins. The older ones can't be upgraded, you would need to buy one of the new ones.

[nikky2012]

If you already have large habitats (able to hold three dragons) thats as big as you can upgrade. The new habitats that came out are not bought with coins but with gold. 500 gold a piece.

[Susyalba]

Okay, thanks. I guess the reason the option to purchase with gold wasn't shown, is because I had already reached the "Max" amt. ....though still why couldn't we just pay the gold to "upgrade" , so we don't have to sell off our dragons ?

[nikky2012]

TL's decision. The new habitats count against our total number of habitats and only give you one extra dragon slot for 500 gold.

[Momoko_peach]

Prepare yourself to see new blue lagoons, yellow mountains, pink prairies, purple gardens, and white meadows 500 gold each. 2500 gold for only one of these. Total madness.
