Of course kindle is left out. I honestly believe kindle users aren't able to obtain any of the dragons you have contest for. I've never been able to breed a single dragon that you have contests for. How about a contest just for kindle users since you leave us out of all the other contests. Why the discrimination against kindle?

You need to evolve 3 times to reach epic. So 100 hrs if you have all the materials :)

That's not it. My brother has an iPad yet he has to do it.

Older players who were playing before the 3 to 4 evolving change happened don't have to do that stage, as a "thank you for testing" gift I suppose.

Oh well... I suppose that you "Dragon Story Grandparents" have to have certain perks. Like a priority line to the caretaker bathroom and that special seat on the caretaker bus.

actually it first happened when Atlantis, Planet, and Seabreeze were released. they were the first super rare hybrids to be released and they were all just recolors of other dragons. at least that's what i remember when ppl first started complaining. i think by the time forestfire and mistmoth got released, those were at least altered a bit compared to its counterpart.

Yah it's no picnic for me either since every single time I log into one of the other apps on my phone it makes me go through ALL EIGHT pop-ups :-(( Seriously annoying to read the same posts like a hundred times a day. We get the message guys...it should stop after like the first ten or fifty times you dismiss it. Aaaaaaarrrrgghhhhh!!!

You should only get it once a day and then stop. Even if you quit the app or if it restarts for whatever reason (Happens all the time). Just once a day. Also, if you get a popup about a new dragon, but you aquire that dragon, you should stop getting that popup. It's freakin annoying!

If you don't completely quite the app, just suspend it, you won't get the popups, but the game is often out of sync until you do a task like visit someone, so it's always best to quit and restart the app, just without all the annoying popups.

I've stopped caring about these contests once I realized that in the he past, what, 5 contests?, that not a single person from these forums have won. That's like odds of winning the lottery, which I don't play in real life. Now I just breed the dragons just to get them, and if I happen to get entries into the contest in time, alright, but I don't go out of my way for it. Especially with the ridiculous feeding costs of the Topaz.

kwhales
02-22-13, 04:43 PM
I haven't ever cared about these contests. With millions of players, the odds are really against you. And this one, with Android and Kindle pretty much not able to participate (yeah they can buy it, but why when someday they will (and should) be able to craft it), I don't think its a fair contest. But this is my opinion.

Same. I just want the pretty dragon, that's all. So I might not bother to epic it, since it's such a cute baby. :)

SybreTiger
02-24-13, 07:15 PM
Well if you had all the materials/food, yeah. 20 hours craft time, 24 hours hatch time, 24 hours baby to juvi, 24 hours juvi to adult, 24 hours adult to epic. That's only 4 days and 20 hours, roughly 5 days. Contest is 7 days.

I'm curious to know if the way we have our island names has any input on winning? Mine is using different letters to make it look cooler & I hope that doesn't affect me in the contest cause so far my topaz is almost to level 9 & i'm working on crafting another one as well to get them both to level 10

They need to announce winners in a text font that everyone can read. Your "cooler" name may get you the cold shoulder; not just in the contests, but from other players who may not even be able to read it. But don't feel bad; just pretend you're a Kindle player who bought those Topaz eggs just because you want a cooler dragon.

02-26-13, 03:15 AM
Topaz sweepstakes ends tomorrow, so if you're crafting a 2nd one today and hope to get it to epic by deadline, you must have lots of gold -- enough to get a name change to ensure that at least one Topaz gets into the contest. Also, if Topaz #1 is "almost to level 9" it sounds like you may be struggling to feed that glutton as it is. Be happy to just hatch #2 in time.
I'm not in the running for this sweepstakes, so I'm rooting for YOU to win! Heheh. 

Yeah. I didn't use any gold. Mine will be at Epic in about 13 hours-ish. It did help that I already had everything needed to craft it as soon as it was released.

I don't expect to win, but the food I'm storing was just collecting dust anyway! May as well blow 100,000 of it to feed one dragon.

02-26-13, 03:31 AM
Meh, i dont care about contests anymore. Ive wasted so much food on these useless dragons who eat more than they give. I could have gotten my other dragons evolved by now to get the boosts from the goals. Or got my diamond family all dressed up for puberty to go to the island prom. Never again. Almost went broke making food.

Spiceshirl
02-26-13, 05:24 AM
That Topaz dragon is a greedy monster!! How can a cat eat so much??? But then again if you put food in its mouth it's not going to roll over and sleep ( sigh). I was going for a goal of 300, 000 apples but each time I get close a new dragon is release and my goal keep slipping away!!! I finally got it to 293,000 plus apples after feed that Caesar and chocolate to epic but with this topaz it's now back right down to 200,000 again:mad: why does a dragon need 100, 000 food to make epic??? This game is becoming a food and gold heist!!

jovanisto
02-26-13, 09:24 AM
Yeah ! Topaz just entered the temple to get to epic ! Wow i spent all my millions growing food round the clock and i started off with 50,000 ! Well, at the rate i'm getting new dragons (ie veeeeeeeery few) i'm just playing "grow all my dragons to epic" anyway... So sooner or later it would have been this guy's turn. But 90,000 to go from 7 to 10? A bit much !
By the way this dragon is super cute ! Might craft another when i get bored....

Ok back to expanding ;) need to grow a stash of coins again !

02-26-13, 01:00 PM
It's 20 hrs to craft & 24 hrs to hatch & 24 hrs to evolve. Feeding it is just not worth talking about. Come on, seriously? Lvl 9 & 10,000 food, that comes to 50,000 just to evolve a Lvl 9. Wondering if any1 had a hard time in the feeding department? By the time everything is said & done, really no1 should win this contest. Not enough time to do what needs to be done

grondai
02-26-13, 02:59 PM
I don't think anyone remembers that the light dragon feeding prices used to be over 100k food to get to lvl 10. I bet they lower the feeding costs again so it doesn't seem that bad, but it is. TL needs to understand that they have to make it possible to feed one dragon to max lvl each week, but at this rate it's not
