Will we ever get 'normal' dragons again.

[thomaaas]

Let me explain:

Last couple of weeks we got alot of new elements: mythic, cosmic, stone, fairytale,... But they all are 'special' elements: only a couple of hybrids are released and they all work with a hidden element instead of the normal f.e. light + pink, where we can choose which habitat we can put it in.

Do you think we'll ever see a normal element, with alot of hybrids (rare and superrare) and with no hidden elements and just where we can see what elements we need to combine, like light and black dragons? I also feel like there are still alot of options with the pink and black dragons, and three element dragons! We don't need a new element + very expensive habitat every two weeks.

Thats my opinion, feel free to say what you think!

I agree. I HATE The Special Hidden Colors. IT SUCKS!

[bigbux3]

I particularly don't like the constant adding of new element dragons. I can understand pink and black, but that's really it. Plus, its harder to keep up and get the dragons and their counterparts. It's bad enough we're always getting duplicates instead of the newer dragons. I still have uncompleted goals to get dragons when Dragon Story first came out (correction, when I first started playing it). Most of us, not unless this is just me, are so behind.
Plus, the cost for their banners and their habitats is expensive!

[anurulz]

i agree..its getting harder than ever to breed the hybrids coz of the splitting and seriously taking the fun out..i am constantly choosing between getting the older super-rares/diamond/the new hybrids..i run out of money frequently coz of the new habitats and end up getting nothing more than one dragon of the new breeds..
phew, rant over..:mad:

[hamadrys]

I agree. Too many new dragons are released too often, in my opinion. I am very much behind (more than 20 dragons) because it takes so long to breed them. I get 1 dragon after they release 2 or 3 others...

[beankai]

I hate that they are all multi-color dragons that only count for one color. That makes using them in diamond breeding almost impossible. Only choice is to breed them with a three color like scarecrow. I am sorry, but only breeding FT and Scarecrow weeks on end is freaking boring.

[MariellaAmsler]

I can only say, what's been told already.
the new system sucks!!!!!!!!
tl don't finish the elements which exist already. for example:
mythic...only 3 dragons - 2 same and one with 2 more colours --- finish.
no mythic with yellow, red, white, purple, black or pink or even just simple blue and green.
I don't want every month a new colour, I want of every element every colour!
and as bigbux3 said, it's sooo hard to finish all goals! I've still got 19 open goals since the begin of playing. it's too much! (althought I've got already 106 dragons)
it makes me depressive, 'cause I want to finish all goals, but with the new dragons and elements all week - it's impossible withouth buying gold!!

But 3 "special" dragons at a time is perfect, considering that the habitats hold 3 dragons... That way you can collect all three and it only takes up one habitat.

Exactly what I think. I don't want a new element that has 9 hybrids because TL won't raise the habitats so what they're doing now is perfect.

I completely agree with this. What makes this hidden element "special" if when breeding it doesn't even show face? I miss the days when hybrid dragons existed, the last being (and this is roughly to be considered the actual last one) was Helios : Diamond/Mythic but to date before then, was what? Moon? Mask? I see, from a business stand point, making them single elements "forces" players to purchase gold for Stable upgrades or gold costing habitats; however, there's a fine line when you become too business oriented to where your players lose the fun out of playing the game and end up turning away. TL might get new players on a daily basis, but eventually, at this rate, the business will self collapse by continuing down the path. And also, they really should be putting more efforts and communication as to why Kindle and Android users aren't caught up yet to iOS players.

It's perfect for some but what of the old players that have the holiday dragons, crafting dragons, album dragons, etc that add more to house than a Kindle or Android users? It's just make sense to set a higher cap than this one at a time nonsense when a new element is released.

Maybe they're removing the old dragons but will give us a new DS world with another breeding den that will allow us to get the old dragons? That would be cool and it would make sense that is why they're removing these dragons.., thy said Quetzal will be back, these dragons could be brought back too.

They have finished the iOS features, they could be working on something else now. I doubt they will work on android...

[enoch4]

I like the idea of a special habitat with 3 unique dragons to go into it, and the different themes can be cool, but it would be nice to also have regular dragons that follow regular breeding rules come out again. I always hoped we would get an orange element, that would follow the normal breeding rules (breed red with yellow to get an orange, then it becomes its own element like purple that you can use to breed hybrids). But we are going to need more space no matter what! My islands are fully expanded and getting really full already.

I actually disagree: I think what TL is doing is quite reasonable. The issue is that the new dragons are mostly targeted for high-level players who already have the "normal" dragons as you call them. There is plenty of rare/super-rare basic color hybrids available. At high levels 6M coins is not a lot of money: I have an average coin balance of about 30-40M at any given day. The newer players should focus on getting the basic dragons and their hybrids (or get them from breeding the pinks and blacks): this will help to get their economy going. Why jump at the new dragons if you can't afford them? A new 3 dragon color set and one more habitat is perfectly fine for 94+ level players ...

I'm a level 96 and I think they are coming out way too fast since I still have some of the "normal" dragons to get. I have no problem with the habitat cost, it's the speed of releasing dragons. Cut it down to once a month TL.

I'm at 137 and have every dragon but like I stated before, my issue is the hidden element in breeding not really meaning much when you breed said dragon (Basically the newer elements) and that hidden element not even breaking down. Tri-color hybrids were a great idea and it's a shame they haven't created more of these. I'm not a fan of two dragons a week being released but I won't argue with it other than have more hybrids of pinks/blacks. Hopefully, this Stone dragon is a new "main" color and there will be actual hybrids having both Stone and the other element needed to get the hybrid.

Completely agree about the habitats. They used to release them in blocks which meant you could choose to get the habitats you wanted. Now you are being driven to get particular ones to house the new dragons being released. This can be really frustrating when you only get the first dragon and not the other 2. Give you much less flexibility and makes it harder to maximise your dragons.

[Manaphio]

I really am disappointed that they're taking away good dragons and adding terrible new element I mean TL give us a break

[noir77]

They won't let up introducing and removing dragons at a very fast pace. Because it encourages a lot of gold spending. Pretty evident from their removal of really great dragon designs (clown is the exception lol) that they're not in it for a happy, leisurely playing experience.

[kwhales]

Tomorrow is monday. Maybe we will get a normal dragon.

Hopefully we don't get any dragon, but that's doubtful. I still need the pink and black hybrids, plus everything (well almost) since then.

Really hope TL gives us a break.

[MazReptile]

I'm level 94, I have most but not all originals, due to needing room. My coin intake an hour ain't a lot even with my 3 diamonds and 2 hybrids. I'm well behind on goals too, I need the hybrids of pink, black, cosmic and mythic and haven't got or tried for fairytale... I was a gold buyer, but since all this, I've lost a lot of interest in this game that I don't bother anymore to buy it.

One dragon a week, like old times is good enough, also need the habitat raised also :/

[Turpsichore]

I'm level 95 and am still missing 5 of the "normal" single colour hybrids; unfortunately, mistmoth is one. (I failed to get mermaid & didn't bother trying for the ugly chocolate or clown). I don't have a diamond (or its hybrids, obviously) and now feel if I concentrate on trying to breed one I'm cutting into time I could be using to try for one that is "under threat". Of the splitting colours, I have a grand total of 2 hybrids, both black.
I used to feel excited when I knew a breeding pair was producing a dragon I didn't have. Now, I only feel relief.

The new rule dragons are ****ing the game by demanding their own specialised habitats. You can't slip a duplicate mythic hybrid into a red or yellow habitat to feed it up to be traded, it's build another habitat if you have the room or sell from the nest.

Add to that the lack of android/kindle parity*, the ridiculous pricing disparities, the long, long fail times for common dragons and all the fun is being sucked out of the game.




*I'm lucky in that I have occasional access to an ipod but for many of my fellow droids, by the time crafting is possible, they will have no duplicates to trade.

I totally agree with you. I recently went to a friend's house, who showed me her dragon story game. She was using the same version as mine, but there were all these new updates and new dragons! Shes a few levels ahead of me, but i dont think that really changes the fact that she has more updates than me. She has a lot of dragons labeled "new" while i have had the Onyx dragon "new" for over a month now. Her market menu has been updated so it looks totally different from mine. There are too many new colours coming out now. I can understand that black and pink dragons cancome out so TL moderators and artists dont have to stress out over having to think of more colour combos for the ones we already have. I already have a night dragon and cant wait to start breeding new hybrids, but im level 39 as of now, and soon the game will want me to breed a mythic dragon and other dragons with outrageous habitat costs for even the BASIC ones!

[kbrown0410]

I don't have a problem with new elements, as it's another challenge. Rather, the problem I have is with the splitting of every new element. If they removed this, and made every element normal, or at the very least, black and pink non splittable, the game might be more fun

[montrianmaster]

what is the big deal. I like new elements. But if they are going to keep making new dragons, they going to eventually need to make more room.
