Do you even bother with the Arctic isles?
Before I even start a rant, I'm just going to say, Im not trying to sound like I'm not grateful for all of TL's hard work and awesome development, because I am. I love how much effort they are putting intothe game, but I just want to have a little rant about the Arctic Isles because if I tried posting this on my wall, I would need atleast 3 walls to display it all
Anyways, I personally don't. I'm at level 98, nearly level 99, but I've never been able to breed an Ice Age Dragon (regardless of its label as "common") so I've never really tried. But a few days ago, I decided to take a look online and see really what the Arctic isles is about. I think some of the dragons are super cute while some are hideous in an adorable sort of way, but what really made me mad is that you can't visit someone's Arctic isles, or atleast show them on your main islands.
Whats the point of breeding these beautiful dragons, or unlocking Glacius the Ancient if you can't display them and make your neighbors green with envy?
Also, the Arctic Isles dragons don't drop coins, and they require a boat load of food, so it's sort of one sided. I personally don't keep a lot of dragons on my main islands, because I only like to keep the essentials (Fire, Forest, Air, Water, Magic, etc.) and dragons I think are appealing to the eye, so I already make less money as is.
Plus, a lot of my dragons are babies, Because they're just SOOO cute, so that's even more money I'm not earning.
Regardless of this, I still am able to keep a steady amount of atleast 3 million (I'm currently at 6 million), but if I had an Arctic Isles and was trying to evolve 9 dragons to epic form, I'd be down in the hundred thousands!
By far, my favorite Arctic dragon is the Icicle Dragon, it is one of the most beautiful dragons I've ever seen, and if I'd been successful in breeding it, I would definitely want to display it.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is... I think the Arctic Isles is a great idea, but what we need is to be able to visit each other's Arctic Isles, and to either have the dragons drop coins, or lower the amounts of food they would need.
Hopefully TL will one day put these ideas into consideration (although I'm sure other players have already suggested this stuff), because it would definitely make me more enthusiastic to unlock the Arctic Isles.
my main wish is for the icicle dragon to be available to be placed on the main islands...it's just so beautiful!!!
