Can't we EVER get a break?? We just finished the Leaderboard-event, whiched raged me ou, and now a World Event AND Tornament? Please...

[harobeda]

The grayed out image of Sunken dragon looked like a Medusa figure to me.

[DragonPhoenix6]

Nice dragons! Does anyone knows the colours/elements from Sunken and Moss please?

[serpentray]

Daywing is a Red, Yellow Champ.... Interesting!

[harobeda]

Examining the maths:

We have 10 days (about 9 days and 22 hours from the time I'm typing this) to complete the event. Since my leaderboard went to the wire, I had no eggs/evolving waiting to come up. Hopefully you each have some to give you an extra 100 points or so to start with...

We have some one time points/maps to collect:

Any points gained by feeding up Moss Dragon
1000 points we all get as a community prize at the end of the 2nd community prize

For convenience I'm going to calculate all battles done over the next 10 days at once: 6 days we're doing 36 battles plus 4 days of extra battles at your discretion. Assuming 6 battle wins per day (A lot for those with jobs!) that yields 180 points/maps

Ten days of daily collecting:
Breeding: double points for one breeding den for a minimum of 23 hours a day gives 46 points/maps (92 if you have 2nd den activated)
Hatching eggs: assuming a minimum of 23 hours a day for each nest gives 23 points/maps (up to 92 points/maps if you have 4 nests)
Farms: 7 farms collecting a minimum of 20 hours worth of crops gives 140 points/maps
Evolving: one evolver a minimum of 23 hours a day gives 23 points/maps (46 if you have 2nd one)
Hiking totem: 10 points every 4 hours gives 50 points optimally (where I collect perfectly and actually sleep for about 8 hours a night), we'll assume you get that from day 1 (many will if their leaderboard wasn't too crazy at the end).

Overall calculation, NOT INCLUDING MOSS DRAGON:

Adding them up you get for the 1 den/1 evolver/1 nest people:1000+180+10*(46+23+140+23+50)=4000 points/maps

If you have 2 dens/2 evolvers/4 nests: 1000+180+10*(92+92+140+46+50)=5380 points/maps

I'm not using a perfect 24 hours because I'm never gonna get that - I have a life to lead even if I'm a DS addict! Since our goal is 7200 that leaves even the most advanced of us short by 7200-5380=1820 points. It looks like raising Moss to an 11 gives 1000 points plus 150 more for something??? My "A Rolling Stone" goal says "Raise your Moss Dragon to level 11 to earn 1,000 points" but at the bottom of the goal shows +150 points for completing the goal. It is currently unclear to me what that means.

Even at a maximum of 24 hours a day each thing collected (with 2 dens, 4 nests, 2 evovlers) we'd get: 1000+180+10*(96+96+168+48+60)=5860 points/maps still leaving a deficit of 1340 points/maps to be gained by feeding up Moss Dragon.

Moral of the story: Hope you have some bingo boosts, some food just for Moss Dragon, and a lot of time on your hands.

[Carbuck]

On this one I'm only participating to help the community. I'm on a stress free break.

Good luck to everyone who is participating!

Is this another World Event where we have to magically come up with food to feed a dragon to get points?

[amerirish]

Yep. Moss dragon :mad:

Thank you very much for doing the math. I'm too tired to calculate for this event too just to find out it's IMPROBABLE. #thisispossible LAWLZ~ :rolleyes:

[RhodryMaelwaedd]

Won't there be points for feeding Sunken Dragon as well? Maybe that can make up for the calculated "missing" points. Not that I care personally, I'm definitely not gonna take this all the way because I refuse to let storm8 decide which dragons I will hatch and feed.

[DragonPhoenix6]

Many thanks to amerirish for posting the dragon types and to harobeda for doing all the maths for us :) agreed that this will be another tough event to complete unless S8 gives us double points weekend! Fingers crossed!

[Habajaba69]

3rd community prize gives 40 maps per 4 hours so depending on when it's hit we might get 0 maps. Or maybe a couple hundred. Could make up the difference of its early enough, but it'd still require near perfect execution.

[random59]

I am sorry but I must be rather slow today but this event has a plethora of decoration again, WHY! WHY! WHY?, I ask myself! No land to place habitats on but we receive an ambundance of worthless useless decor that we can't place, quite insulting really!

In my honest option I would rather have food for these milestones as these events, like everything else is becoming food orientated to completing the final goal!

Thanks for doing the math, but u underestimate the maps from battling. This is an unpredictable contribution since players mileage in the arena will vary. 6 wins a day and u just clear a tourney. There's still days after that where u are battling easier opponents.

Also the game has changed, since the world event was first introduced. Why shouldn't the format be updated to account for boosting, ultra rare champions, lvl15 fighters and GPDs? I'd prefer an easy event too, but its way too early to be negative about this one

I believe this is also one of the first times that battling gives x amount of the items as well. Unlike extra points for harvesting crops, that's kind of unfair for anyone who doesn't/cannot battle :/

[Ann255780]

Hey everyone
The total food amt required for moss dragon get him from lvl 1-11 is 59,475 apples. Just if someone is curious :p

You're welcome for the arithmetic. :)

As to battles... I often finish a tournament a day early (but sometimes I'm down to the wire), so I figured I'd be conservative on battles. Especially since most people can't get in hourly and we can't guarantee a win for a battle. But I know I'm going to be more aggressive on battling for the next 9 days so that I can try to make up some of the points I need. (Especially since I was so tired yesterday I fell asleep before putting my diamondates on for the night :( ).

[nicsdragonisle]

Well, I don't battle, so.....
Neither do I, not regularly, and no boosts because I don't play bingo and have exactly 3 level 15 dragons.
1 roost, 1 den, and 3 nests = no possible way to finish...again.
So happy that this new way of events is 'challenging' for those who have ABSOLUTELY every possible advantage.
(Long time player, btw. Not a newbie.)

I have been playing a while also and I have the same things you have except you have 1 more nest than I have on my island. I don't play bingo so don't have boosts because I don't want to spend that kind of time on the game. But I do have 6 GPDs. This is a difficult task for anyone when right away the math shows an unfairness in the posted goal amounts and the odds are stacked against us.

Maybe you can play anyway to help the community achieve the community goals as I have decided to do for this event. You will probably strengthen your dragon scrapbook and get some cool new dragons along the way which will help you for future events.

Good luck to you!

I appreciate you are doing math for the average player. I'm just a stickler for facts & if people are saying this is impossible I felt the evidence should reflect a determined player. To be honest, I'm pretty certain i'm going to spend gold on this one. Its a bit too early to give up so good luck!

[JustKay]

I don't care if I finish this event or not. If its too easy then the people who must win at all costs and will spend gold for it, will just quit and move onto another more challenging game. Those people are actually S8's target audience.

What we're all playing for is a little digital dragon sprite... it has no intrinsic value. Its only as valuable as the work you put into getting it. My storage is full of forgettable dragon eggs from events that were too easy. If players stop seeing value in these dragons, S8 is going out of business

[cherrycastleorchard]

Thank you for being here and helping us get our questions answered, Kooky!

I'll second that

[Carbuck]

Anyone know if the Observatory will give points like the Hiking Path?

I want to be alert to place it on the island if it does as I'm trying to help the community.

I think that you and I have somewhat different viewpoints. To me, the value of the dragon is how aesthetically pleasing it is to me, whether it be cute (baby Firestorms are adorable!) or pretty, like the May dragon. Firestorms are ubiquitous, yet I have 2 habitats full of them because they have value to *me.*

[Kriscake21]

I accidentally sold my moss dragon, I was going to buy it from the market, but it is not showing up at all. Can someone help me please?

[Rynetory2]

Sorry about your dragon. You can try contacting Support via support form (http://support.storm8.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) and see if the agent can help you with it.

[Hartoled]

The Sunken Dragon says it needs 5000 points. I have about 1307 points. It says skip to the Sunken for 1385 gold bars. Is that making sense? I guess there is some kind of formula for calculating that stuff.

Reg-Confusion about Points given for Raising Moss Dragon

Under A Rolling Stone , It says " Raise your Moss Dragon to level 11 to earn 1000 Points "
However , below it says , " Raise your Moss Dragon to Lv11 " and Rewards shown is + 150 Maps
I thought , similar to previous Event , It will grant extr reward from raising beyond Lv 4 but I haven't received anything till Lv6 .This seems to me very misleading and confusing ! Am I missing anything ? Can any one explain to me , how do we get 1000 Maps for raising Moss to Lv11 ?
I request Kookie and Rynetory2 to please clarify on this .

[bakerystoe]

Dont you see in the shop? There are only 2 decorations that can collect points in the event!! Observatory is just a decoration:))

I dont think so. Nothing challenging in a game will lead to bankruptcy to the company. Therefore if every player got the same prizes same efforts and no spending gold at all, they will soon feel bored because they got everything by just collecting on a regular basis! However, Dragon story will recycle their previous event dragons in another event or in the shop for people to buy! But what i see which is not beneficial is that these dragons are just made up for beauty, cuteness, increasing the player's number of dragons or just in the tournament, Dragon story needs further touch and improvement into the purpose of these dragons.

[Carbuck]

Thanks for the response. My thought was in line with the fact that in the past world event "Mythic Heroes" the 2nd community prize gave fish hooks to help everyone accumulate more hooks.

So in the case of this event it looks like S8 decided to make it harder by not doing that. Interesting! We'll see how this all plays out. ???

My 'A Rolling Stone' is a bonus of +150 for raising to 11
My 'New Worlds' is reaching 2nd community goal for +1000 bonus

[nicsdragonisle]

I'm clearly not the sharpest knife in the drawer! I've been so focused on the final # that I've only just realized that with 7 farms, 1 evol, 1 roost and 3 nests I won't even make the FIRST individual dragon. I really had been counting on getting that far on my 2 games (not so much on our other 4). I didn't make it last time either, btw, but the totals are less for this one.
While I do check in every hour or two when I can, I have 2 kids and it's summer. I can't count on points from the arena, I've only reached rounds 16 and 21.
I've been playing "full on" as much as I can since the start. I even had a head start with 7/20 hr crops, the breeding roost, 3 eggs and a 20+hr evolve all ready to go. I've even continued planting ridiculous 20hr crops so I don't miss points. I only have 1,085 on my highest game with approx 950 on my other.
There is absolutely NO incentive for me to continue with this event except to help others along with the community goals. I've grown used to not reaching the final prizes now and i don't expect to be able to anymore. But not reaching the FIRST individual dragon is a whole other thing. I'm actually really quite sad about it.
Why do I continue to allow myself to be upset and disappointed by this game?? I must be a total idiot.

[nicsdragonisle]

It seems that you haven't read my message properly . Please read Heading which says -- Raise your Moss dragon to Lv11 to get 1000 Points --- does such message appears or not ? What does that mean ? At bottom , it shows 150 Tickets -- why such discrepancy ? This is misleading !!
Forgive me! You are absolutely right!! I skipped right over that text. Bravo to you for catching that!
Both of those quote bubbles say the same thing don't they??? 1000 points on each of them for 2,000 bonus point total.
I wonder if they will honor that???

[starship412]

Well, well, well. I raised my Moss Dragon to level 11 but didn't get my 1000 points. Guess I'll send a ticket in and hope that there's a response within the next two weeks.

We are checking on this. Thanks for bringing this up. :) We'll keep you all posted.

For a meager 150 points, I'm not hatching and raising Moss. For 1,000 points, I would.

FYI I'm not sending anyone to Support yet. Maybe let's wait for the Community Managers to check and confirm? They should be getting online shortly.

[Passera]

Totally spaced getting Moss dragon now I have to wait until nests are free! Hopefully the glitch is cleared up by them lol.

[tuffyjkitten]

Moss is cute as a baby. I like her (yes, mine is a girl!) :)

The Sunken Dragon says it needs 5000 points. I have about 1307 points. It says skip to the Sunken for 1385 gold bars. Is that making sense? I guess there is some kind of formula for calculating that stuff.

They are applying some sort of new formula in FFS, too. I'm not sure I get it. There is seems that the value of a point was 2.63 gems. It was such a randome amount. It used to be it was always 1:1 ratio - if you were short 500 points, you paid 500 gems. I really think that they are playing with the math in these world events to try to figure out how to make it work. In the first of this new type of world event in FFS, it was pretty easy to reach the final individual prize. We all got 5000 points for finishing the community goal. In this second one, we got fewer points, and it wasn't enough to really get us anywhere close to getting the final prize. I think they're doing the same funky stuff in DS. Let's hope they figure it out soon.

Reg-Confusion about Points given for Raising Moss Dragon

Under A Rolling Stone , It says " Raise your Moss Dragon to level 11 to earn 1000 Points "
However , below it says , " Raise your Moss Dragon to Lv11 " and Rewards shown is + 150 Maps
I thought , similar to previous Event , It will grant extr reward from raising beyond Lv 4 but I haven't received anything till Lv6 .This seems to me very misleading and confusing ! Am I missing anything ? Can any one explain to me , how do we get 1000 Maps for raising Moss to Lv11 ?
I request Kookie and Rynetory2 to please clarify on this .
The reward was updated and the team is currently looking into fixing players who have already completed it.

[starship412]

Thank you Kooky for looking into this because I never got the 1000 points for raising Moss to level 11. I'm supposed to have 4900 points and change not 3900.

[pinkflower7777]

Thanks for checking into this Kooky. I also didn't receive the 1000 points. Do I need to send a support ticket?

Can you please give guidance as to how could you get so many maps in such a short time ?

[sam204]

Forgive me! You are absolutely right!! I skipped right over that text. Bravo to you for catching that!
Both of those quote bubbles say the same thing don't they??? 1000 points on each of them for 2,000 bonus point total.
I wonder if they will honor that???
Good News ! After my complaint , Rynetory 2 conveyed that they are looking into it and now Kooky confirmed that prize is updated to 1000 Maps in place of 150 ! -- I checked , it is done !

I did a speed breeding session plus I had a couple of penumbras.

Hey Elsa, I did receive some points but I didn't get all the points I was due. I'm 111 points short still but I definitely thank you, Kooky Panda and Rynetory2 for looking into this. It is much appreciated.

[starship412]

What do Penumbra's do?

Penumbras are just dragons that have a long breeding time of 25 hrs. Nothing special about them but I don't like breeding those however and they just love my island like common dragons.

[Kriscake21]

Sorry about your dragon. You can try contacting Support via support form (http://support.storm8.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) and see if the agent can help you with it.

Thank you, I put a support ticket in last night and I think they fixed it.

[ozigal]

I am finding this to me is real slow going trying to get the maps. I will be surprised if I get to the first dragon. My tournament is also playing a part as I am struggling to work through it. Hope others are having a better experience.

[amalsaba]

What is the difference between the second community prize (the observatory) and the 1000 maps we get for raising moss to lvl 11. I just got the 1000 maps for raising moss to 11 but do we get any more maps for reaching the second community prize?

Yes of course-- we will get 1000 Maps when we get second community prize -- observatory ! As far as 1000 Maps for raising Moss to Lv11 , depends upon player -- only when player raises Moss , he/ she gets it where as when we reach 2 ndCommunity prize , every body gets 1000 Maps

[Phoenix406]

My enthusiasm has waned. I was only going to try to get as far as the Sunken dragon, anyway, but I just realized that, even with 1,000 for raising Moss and 1,000 from the community prize, I'll still be nowhere near getting Sunken. Meh. No way to win Leaderboards. No way to finish world Events anymore. No way to complete Storybooks anymore. What's the point of playing anymore?

[pinkflower7777]

Sunken seems to comparable to Islander for Stone Types in the Arena. It's cheaper to feed than Islander.

[harobeda]

We're almost to the halfway point- my countdown is 5 days and 42 minutes. I have 2793 points (I got the 1000 for feeding up moss dragon, we haven't yet gotten the community 1000 points). Doubling my total points will put me at 5586 points total... so I personally should be good to get the first individual prize dragon, but not the final unless I use boosts and gold. Bah humbug.

I'm almost in exactly the same situation with 2,763. I'll be a long way off from the last prize.

I'm at the same point 2,804 ,5days to go.......I really wonder is it even possible to get last individul prize?because geting Sunken dragon is hard to get.
how are we supose to get even 2,000 points more for last prize...
....spending a lots of....lots of gold to get there.???...is it even worth it???

[DragonPhoenix6]

Same here, I haven't fed my Moss dragon to 11 yet so I am close to 2,000. Feeding Moss and getting the observatory I will have 4,000 so it will be a close call to get Sunken, let alone the last individual dragon... I have 2 evolution temples and 3 nests... it is so unfair that nowadays on top of needing to feed dragons that we don't want to epic stage we don't even get to the end of a world event anymore... truly heartbreaking... I understand that S8 needs to make money by making players spend more and more gold every day to finish events but this is way too much ��

[ozigal]

Think we are all in the same boat re points.I am sitting on 2763 with 4 days 17 hrs left and that includes Moss's points. It's going to be a hard slog to get to Sunken at this rate let alone the last goal. No hope for me to get to the final one. They keep moving the cheese. Whilst they raise the bar I am learning to lower mine.

[hungryres]

Yes of course-- we will get 1000 Maps when we get second community prize -- observatory ! As far as 1000 Maps for raising Moss to Lv11 , depends upon player -- only when player raises Moss , he/ she gets it where as when we reach 2 ndCommunity prize , every body gets 1000 Maps

a few hrs ago, i got the pop up of adding 500 maps (community points).
i thought reaching observatory gives 1000 points?

is the pop up wrong only (pop up dialogue at center of screen, not on the left bottom corner) , or they are only giving away 500 points instead of 1k?

[amalsaba]

I'm in the same boat with the 1000 i got from moss and the community. 2 dens 2 evo temples and 3 nests that are always full. I *might* get sunken ��

[Dragosle]

In the last World Event, the final prize individual prize had a ridiculous amount of required-item (Fish Hook, I believe) but we are provide with 3 side quests (which required about a million of food btw) that gave us (nearly) enough point to obtain it.

In this event, the final prize has a much lower requirement but unobtainable through the normal game-play (even with both the 2 side quests done).

What's the point, indeed!

[Hawk1]

I have zero chance of getting Daywing, thanks S8 for taking the fun out of the community event. 1 Den, 3 nests and 2 Evolving Chambers that run 24/7, plus battle arena and Hiking Path and crops. I'll get Sunken but not the last dragon and I'm not sure DS events are worth the effort anymore. There have been so many changes in the past year and made a game I formerly enjoyed a lot into something almost unrecognizable.

Wonder when they'll abandon DS like so many of their games that they no longer support.

i have 1 den , 4 nests and 2 evo temples and my chances are very low ;)
i wonder what if i reactivated the roost :D
may be i will boost breed at the end : depends on how far i will be :)

I have two dens, 4 nests and 2 temples and still only at 4700.. i start not liking this game any more.. i haven't even recovered from last leaderboard....

[starship412]

The fact that the final dragon is an ultra rare dragon is the reason I believe they made obstacles so hard to reach in the last two World Events for said dragon. This isn't good for long time nor short time players. I'd rather see World Events done the old way where dragons don't need to be fed and the last individual dragon is a super rare and can be obtained without spending gold.

[ozigal]

This is boringly slow trying to get the maps/ points.
Sunken dragon still seems a long way away and I may never get there at this rate.

[Clark_Wayne]

I have two dens, 4 nests and 2 temples and still only at 4700.. i start not liking this game any more.. i haven't even recovered from last leaderboard....

obviously having the breeding roost doesn't really help : i have 4535 points so i'm not that far from you with only 1 nest :)

[harobeda]

I'm on the fence about spending gold to get the final prize... if I go for it, I'll probably speed crops using a 10X crop boost. 5 points/1 gold is a good ratio, and I'll get food for the inevitable Dragon Tales we'll get next. It'll depend on how close I actually am - right now I estimate that approach will cost me 350 gold. If it was under 100 I'd definitely do it. I'll re-evaluate closer to the end...

[AinoDK]

I used to have to finish every event, spending gold when needed. After the last world event I finally learned to let the final prize(s) go. Only got the first dragon in the last tale, not going to reach the last one now. And I'm OK :)

[chewingthecud]

Anyone even near being finished? I have two dens, two evolution temples and three nests - I am a solid player and am still at 4800. I have never not completed an event before and that's in 4 years. I won't be able to finish this one.

[tromalyt]

Meh... raised Moss dragon to level 14 before realising this does not give me any points.

This event is undoable.

EDIT: This thread has only 10 pages. Most people already lost interest.

[MajicHearts]

I admit to spending gold for the exploration maps giving items (every 4 hrs- 400 gold). I hope to finish this event. Not as excited about DragonTales or Leaderboard.

Very long-time player here. I have 10 gold-producing dragons (49 gold per day, plus the gold I exchange with neighbors, my first GPD was carefully bought with collected gold-gifts from neighbors, and installing and playing other games, back in the days, when the follow-up goal rewarded you with 30 gold or so). 2 dens, 2 temples, 4 nests. I never missed out on ANY event since 2013 or so, even won more than a couple of Leaderboards, so I have lots of usefull dragons for the arena. I have lots of food stocked, and lots of gold. I only bought something for real money once, and that was my first Diamond dragon, a long, long time ago, because I couldn't bread a diamond no matter how hard I tried.

This time, I foresaw that the event would be undoable, so I bought a Trail Marker for 250 gold - I make that amount of gold in 5 days.

So, now I have 6,778 maps. I spent a few gold here and there, to speed up things so nests etc. wouldn't be useless during sleeping hours. I used a few boosts, well timed, as I regularly get them from playing Bingo every other week, so I'm always in the top 5 of the Silver League.

So yes, I will get to the final prize, but only because I bought the Trail Marker. And yes, I will be able to make it every event - but only because I'm a very long, long time player, who happened to make the right choices in investing in GPD's back in the days they were still affordable.

I feel for those starting to play later, of those that made other choices and are now left without (enough) GPD's. These GPD's are the only thing that matter now in this game, without them, you do need not only spent lots of time (which I also spent), but also lots of money.

yep same as me and nowhere near the expected goal SMH , thats 3 events now that have been like this , think its time to hang up my DS gloves and move on to another game nows the way this has slowly become :(

[ksbmommy]

I lose interest after about 5-7 days. These longer events and waiting to get the prizes are boring to me lately. I'd rather a shorter event with time to recover food in between.

I will be able to get one of the individual dragons. I'll keep trying without taking the dragon to an 11. That's my safety net if I can get the last few points I need.

[sipland]

3 nests, 2 evolution temples, 1 roost for me = 4535. I'll have to be okay with not getting the big prize.

Thanks DirkDragon. No I am not disappointed. I learnt a while ago not to get caught up with getting every dragon. I just think it is sad that they are making quests so impossible now to force the hard core collectors into using gold. I have 14 GPD - yep all of them but I am still not going to pay gold. I will use it for the dragons I want and not the ones the quests make impossible.

I think you are correct. I used to be a hard core collector but the game beat that out of me. Doesn't matter how much time or money you put in it's not enough and you need to invest more. Skylord being handed out now just validates my feelings. Why bother? No dragon is special and if you wait you can get the ones you really want. Although I don't really want anything anymore beyond giving us land and room to place the dragons I already ****ed myself to get and some reasonable events. Beyond that? I'm out. This game isn't long for this world I fear.
I've been here over 5 years, I feel I have the right to be disappointed in the way long time players are being treated.

[retseho]

just passed 5000 : 5011 points and less than 3 days left

Anyone hatched Sunken dragon & do we get points for levelling it?
The 5hr hatching means two days left are enough. If no points given, might as well stop after getting Sunken.

[starship412]

The way the old World Events worked was better, we only needed to hatch, evolve, quest, collect from the building, collect food and sorry if I'm missing something. I prefer the old way, this new way it's so ridiculous... Needing to evolve a dragon? Really? Come on TL!

There are to many events going on... TL must be losing money and because of that they are doing this so they can recover, but honestly they are doing even worse... I don't even enjoy playing World Events, Leaderboards and Bingo... We need to do so must things at the same time that's impossible.

I like this gane, but not like it is right now. I'm still playing but not like before.

[carolannann]

What a rubbish Community prize. A Dragon Mountain decoration. I expected it to be a habitat or at least provide some maps !!!


I'm now at 4276 after loads of effort. I agree with the "I've stopped caring" thread. This game is getting more and more impossible to achieve - which is quite depressing.

I agree with you...finishing is not a possibility without spending $$. Fortunately, I am able to spend some $$ on this game, but spending has dropped considerably in the last year😉because of the way this game is going. By that, I mean S8 is making it harder to complete these challenges without spending $$. It is also harder to breed the dragons. This is just my opinion-thanks.

[Anaboe]

Didn't spent a penny on it, but I finished today. It was prolly because I bought the Trail Marker on the first day of the event. 250 Gold is 5 days gold-collecting for me, so it's not that big a deal. But I understand I'm one of the few lucky ones...

[amerirish]

I'm getting nervous, I'm at 5,284 maps with just under 2 days to go :( A spike in earning rates sure would be appreciated right now.

[luckyaa7]

I gave up. At only 5600. I decide to let it go and just play relaxing game... good luck everyone who is trying!

[chewingthecud]

I gave up. At only 5600. I decide to let it go and just play relaxing game... good luck everyone who is trying!
I have also given up - I am on 5400ish maps. This is the first one ever that I have not finished and I have been playing since they began. I am however not bothered - I won't let a few pixels rule my life! Ha ha ha!

[ozigal]

Me three. I have just gotten to the Sunken dragon, didn't think I'd get there, so that's it for me for this event. I have a feeling that future events will be much the same where it will become rare for me to actually complete all goals.

[harobeda]

So during the early parts of the event if you were short on points it offered the option to buy your way to next prize - I noted to myself the gold asked was about 1/3 of how many points you were short. So if you are 109 points away from Sunken it wants 41 gold to skip to it. (so actually more like .376 than .333 for a ratio).

Now I'm 2027 points/maps short to Daywing Dragon and it wants 2304 gold to jump to Daywing Dragon. Instead of asking for .376 times what I'm short it is asking for 1.137 times what I'm short. RIDICULOUS! :mad:

Oh my. I am not playing these things anymore and this kinda stuff is why. Where did our fun and achieveable events go?
No one needs to point out the game needs to make money and all that jazz. I know. I personally funded many vacations I'm sure for a few workers in the past. So sorry harobeda. It really is ridiculous. :(

[KNOBWARS]

I'm at 5158 points so not a chance for me to reach the last goal. It's too bad because I like collecting champions more than any other types (well other than diamond). I like getting dragons that I think will be good in the Arena and the rest are fillers so this is disappointing. They really do keep moving the goal posts further and further out of reach as the months go by.

[Passera]

Will be short for the first individual dragon! Constantly breeding and evolving dragons and not even close to the end dragons I honestly don't know why I even bother with these events!

[Florr06]

I am at 3812 points at the moment. I think I'll feed Moss to get the extra 1000 points. I like Sunken even though it has the same color combo as the Polynesian dragon from a few events ago. Daywing was out of question from the start.

[dragonwhispereri]

Were we supposed to get maps and 1000 for feeding moss? I think I got 1000, but no maps.

I had 4 nests at about 12 hours each ready that I didn't use for LB, have them going all the time and two temples, and one breeding roost 7/24. However, lost almost 3 days of winning fights being stuck on dragons I couldn't defeat, though I fought at least 16 times per day, but still only have about 5400 points.
Oh, and I used harvest boosts, and gave in and fed moss to L11.
Still doesn't seem I'll make it unless I spend gold.

[amerirish]

So, I'm at 5,887 maps and have done everything possible to collect during this event. I have 3 nests that I kept full, 2 dens, didn't miss even one hour of farming using 20 hour, 1 hour and 5 hour crops in order to max collection, have also been evolving around the clock. Oh, and I also did the Moss side quest.

I don't know what else I could've done to reach the final prize short of spending gold. I've already quit one S8 game this week due to unrealistic quest requirements (Castle Story) I don't want to get fed up with this one too. DS has always been my favorite game and I have put up with the enormous amount of tasks and lack of space, but if they start making "fun" goals impossible to finish, I will have no choice but to throw in the towel.

I really hope I wake up in the morning to a very benevolent gift of lots of Elevation Maps for myself and my fellow DS players :)

ETA: I already missed out on Corsair Dragon which burned my butt. Being a very OCD player, I don't think I could mentally survive missing another prize dragon :mad:

[chloesisland]

I really hoped to see a doubling of maps in the last 24 hours of this event. S8 can see that players can't reach the last goal without again spending money. This maybe a good opportunity for S8 to show a little goodwill to their players.

DS has always been my favorite game and I have put up with the enormous amount of tasks and lack of space, but if they start making "fun" goals impossible to finish, I will have no choice but to throw in the towel.

I really hope I wake up in the morning to a very benevolent gift of lots of Elevation Maps for myself and my fellow DS players :)

ETA: I already missed out on Corsair Dragon which burned my butt. Being a very OCD player, I don't think I could mentally survive missing another prize dragon :mad:

Hi there Amerish. I am in the same boat as you - a high level player and only just on 6000 maps. I have given up and just playing my own game. I also play CS and gave the last quest up very early. I started immediately and only got to stop 7. That never happened to me before. I don't mind though - both are games and I won't let them upset me. Just enjoy and play at your own pace. :o

I agree with everyone that it's just unreal they haven't given a couple days of double points. Maybe there will be something tomorrow that will give everyone a chance to get a large number of points but I doubt it.

This game is being ruined.

Sorry to hear that you're having the same issues with this event :( It's too hard for me to play casually and not care about missing out on prizes. I'm kind of an all-or-nothing player which is why I deleted CS. Games are supposed to be fun, lately the unrelenting demands to finish these events have completely soured my enjoyment. Now, even with constant vigilance and giving all of my attention, not being able to finish is beyond galling and makes me want to give up completely :mad:

[leysanne]

I've just managed to get to the 6000 mark ... I fed Moss dragon to 11, have 2 temples, 3 nests, and 2 breeding dens going. I am able to log into the game quite regularly during the day so have been battling regularly, collecting every 4 hours from the hiking path and kept my farms going most of the day too. To be so far away is very disappointing. With this so fresh in my mind, i'm not so eager to start the shiny new event already being promoted :(

[amerirish]

I'm just under 1,000 short too. It's really unfair when you do everything you can possibly do and still not make it unless you spend gold. This really stinks :mad:

[Clark_Wayne]

Didn't spent a penny on it, but I finished today. It was prolly because I bought the Trail Marker on the first day of the event. 250 Gold is 5 days gold-collecting for me, so it's not that big a deal. But I understand I'm one of the few lucky ones...

i didn't buy the trail marker but i spent about same amount of golds ;)
2 breeding boost x10, 2 hatching boost x10 and about 210 golds spent to reach the 7202 mark :)
and with DayWing, i got also Gorgeous as fail :)

I'm sitting with 1000 short as well despite playing regularly........ this gets crazy unless spending masses of gold :(

[Passera]

I really wanted another tropic type dragon so spent about 35 gold speed breeding den and a nest plus the 20 or so gold needed to get me to the 5000 mark. Now can someone explain to me why it costs twice as much gold to get the maps as it does to buy the final dragon outright from the market? I'm personally not going to do either but it's totally baffling.

Same here. I thought i should be able to get there with 4 nests and 2 breeding den and 2 temples. I guess i was wrong.

[tabbypeter]

I think it is time to stop playing. None of the last quest are do able without using a lot of gold which cost real money. I do not think they bother about the players they only wants money.

[saghaven]

I'm just a little shy of 5000. I have scaleypears 90 minutes from harvest but even if I sped it up I'd be about 50 maps short of the first individual. I don't think it's worth it. This event was a complete waste of time.

[kooky panda]

I just started game up and I did not receive the extra points. What should I do?
Did just delete and reinstall game to see if that would help and it didn't.


Hey Elsa, I did receive some points but I didn't get all the points I was due. I'm 111 points short still but I definitely thank you, Kooky Panda and Rynetory2 for looking into this. It is much appreciated.

If you still need help please submit a support request.

well, I decided to speed breed to get the final prize. It cost A LOT. Then the game crashed and the event was gone early. Just before I hit 7200.

If I say what I think my post will get moderated. Let's just say I'm extremely unhappy.

[Phoenix406]

I'm so mad at myself, I just *can't even*! I can't even, guys! ;) So I was only trying for Sunken. I went in today and hatched my eggs and transferred eggs to the nest. I saw that I only needed to spend 25 gold to get the dragon, so I did. Then I realized that I had crops to harvest which would have given me more maps, and I did a battle trying to get Skylord or whatever it is, so I got 3 more maps there. I could have saved 25 gold. I'm so upset with myself. :(

Likewise. There is no way of completing most events now without spending. I've given up.

This is exactly what happened to me during the Frostwolf world event a long while back. Used gold to get the last points, game crashed and rolled back and the event was gone along with my dragon and the gold I used to get the last points. This was 15 minutes or more before the end of the event. I still haven't had the dragon added back to my inventory. Let me know if you get your dragon back.

I wish it would be acknowledged that there are some major bugs with this game.

Can a moderator intervene on this? It would be nice if we could get the dragons back that were stolen.

I have a ticket open with support. So far they deny any problem.

Thing is, my husband had his game open at the same time. He made the sensible decision to only go for sunken, but was watching the timer and confirmed that the event disappeared a minute or two before the timer finished.

You're right, there are some massive bugs and I'd much rather they prioritised ironing them out than producing constant new content. They also need to address iOS/android parity.

I somewhat gave up at the beginning of the event, but I continue with the breeding, evolving, hatching, battling, farming, and collecting from the Trail marker. With only 2 nests, 2 temples, 1 den, and 7 farms plus the Trail marker; I was 530 points away from Sunken. XD Luckily, I did not care~

This is why I never, ever wait until the last minute. Too many stories of this happening over and over again. I make sure I'm finished an hour early, egg in storage and snap a picture.

[lintupien]

I didn't bother with the event, just played normally and stocked up food. Finished with ~3300 points so even if I had fed Moss I wouldn't have reached the next dragon. Actually quite happy because that left me enough food for Tales now, and I really like those dragons.

[EvieandIzzie]

All I can say about my feelings with this event....another step towards walking away from the game.
Shame S8. Shame.:mad:
