Going downhill

I’ve been playing the game for nearly 5 years, usually logging in 2-3 times daily. It was entertaining and during events I’d often pay $20-30 to buy extras and reward the developers for their work. It’s been nearly two years since I’ve been willing to pay real money toward this game. The changes Hasbro has made, particularly in the last 6 months or so, has begun driving tenured, dedicated players away. Events are nearly back-to-back, there are more limited time items at higher in-game costs, which they are using to try to increase out-of-pocket real money spent by players, and what players need to buy and do in order to “evolve” new dragons have become more complicated. The worst, in my opinion, is the developers and Hasbro do not provide responses to questions by players posted publicly, do not appear to take player feedback into consideration, and do not have a customer service presence on the game’s Facebook page. All of this has led to frustration and feeling the company and developers have lost sight of their customers. A year ago, I would have rated this game 5 stars. Now I had to decide between giving it 2 or 3 stars. If you’re a new player, there will be a lot of content you can’t get to or can’t buy without spending real money. The events will be frustrating for you too. Sorry, Backflip. My time with your game is nearing its end, and my checkbook will no longer open for you.

Love it, but…

I absolutely love this game! I’ve been playing on and off for about 10+ years! I remember having my kids collect all my coins when they were toddlers. I’ve recently started playing again and there are so many new elements and clearly years worth of dragons that I have missed. Some events reintroduce dragons and that’s a nice element. Also with the co-op breeding cave some of the dragons I’ve missed over the years can now be bred without an event. With all that being said this game would be 5 stars if the cost of islands and habitats weren’t so ridiculously expensive. Even with the hundreds of dollars I’ve spent the costs of islands are still utterly out of reach. 12 billion for an island is a bit excessive in my opinion and the costs of gems and other treasures aren’t worth it because they don’t go very far. I plan to continue playing this game, but it gets frustrating when you have dragons sitting in the hibernation cave and nowhere to put them. The hibernation cave can now be expanded to house 400 dragons that are not in use. I think that says a lot about the ability to obtain islands and expand livable space for the dragons we breed. The newly introduced rift dragons are confusing to breed, most of the time I’m just winging it. I do love the different dragons and Different elements that have been added. I believe the dragon creativity and quality has not missed a beat. 4/5 stars for me.

Abosolutly amazing game!!!

This game is awesome, I almost every part of it from the breeding to the mythic dragons to the habitats and look of the game. It really makes you feel like you accomplished something especially once you get mythic dragons like Tiamat. I do have one thing that could be improved or explained to me... so the racing system is mostly great and I love how it gives you a easier way to get kairos and Gaia but it’s doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. For example I’ll have a level 11 dragon ( all of mine are, for the little ball above their heads) and be racing against a level 1 dragon of the same variety. The level 1 dragon almost always gets a better start like the boost moved up for them, also you go the same speed unless there’s like 6 boosts in a row that you get perfect ( it isn’t actually that hard to get a perfect) and even then they usually win. I’m just saying that a level 11 dragon should go faster than a level one dragon, you should get rewarded for spending gold to feed them. Other than that one thing and maybe the rift substance, which I’ve seen that someone explained the flaw in, this game is amazing, it’s so calming and peaceful there’s no need to feel stressed about anything it’s just a game about breeding dragons and trying to expand your park.

Definitely recommend!!

I’ve had this game for around 2 years now, and I love it! It’s so much better than the other dragon games. I’m on like level 48 and I’m pretty satisfied with what I have in my park, I have the kairos, the Gaia, Bahamut, and the other one (I forgot what it’s called). But this is like my all time favorite game and I’m like on it 24/7. The only thing that bothers me is I can’t seem to figure out how to get the enchanted breeding cave thing, it’s like the cave with the big purple gem on the top, cause on the “great nogard’s” park when I visit, it has it and when I search it up in the market under buildings I can’t seem to find it, unless u like dis-continued it but that made me kinda upset but hasn’t affected my thoughts on the game overall 🙂. My suggestion for the game would be some improvements in the rift. Yes it’s a very cool now and different realm, the only thing that bugs me is that each time u breed, the price of ethurium goes up, same with clearing the cloud things. It just bugs me. There also should be more ways to gain etherium, cause I only have around 1,000, and like I’m too broke to do anything besides breed like once or twice and even when I do get ethurium from my dragons, it’s a very little amount, and doesn’t even make a dent in how much I have. But that’s what I think of the game, but I still love it 😊 thanks!

What a bummer!!!

I can't even begin to say how bummed I am! I've been playing for over a year, reached a 40+ level, had hundreds of dragons, multiple islands, and WHAM! suddenly I log in and I'm back to level 1!! It's like I never logged in before. I just updated to the new iOS as I usually do but then this. How do I get my status back??? I have no desire to start all over again so this needs to be fixed. From the last reviews I read, it seems others are experiencing the same or worse scenarios. Please get this back where it should be. I loved this game and enjoyed comparing with my grandson who was thrilled his Grandma liked something he liked.I changed my rating to a 5 because you were able to reload my game back where it belonged and my grandson and I have been enjoying comparing our parks for a couple more years now. But suddenly I seem to be a persona non grata again. I updated the Jolly Jamborie and played just fine for about a week then suddenly every time I log in I get kicked out after a few seconds. This has been going on for about 7 weeks now and I'm to the point of total disgust. For the last week I can't even get the game to download to my iPad. It goes to about half then stops. What is really upsetting is I haven't even been able to get to the options page to send a request for help. So here I am having to do it in the App Store in a review! What is going on??

dont let it get too overwhelming

Ive played since it was on kindlefire. its very special to me. would you be able to make a dragonvale 2 and add the newer dragons and elements there because i sometimes get swayed away from playing because theres too much to do when i open it. i just dont want to see it ruined because it becomes having too many dragons/elements and i feel that a second one would maybe be similar except you continue to add more dragons and elements there. and maybe accounts could carry over so you could vist your other world on dragonvale from dragonvale 2. maybe make it a thing where instead of adding more and more elements, each dragonvale could be like a different chapter where theres more content added but we can still access or view the original stuff somewhat separately. please dont overwhelm new players. and dont screw withe the original elements or add any for that fact unless its in a dragonvale 2 or something. also i am wondering why you bought dragonvale deka. did you buy it to get a solid income or do you actually care about the game. are your plans to make it more cash grabby or prevent a George Lucas. anyway im 18 now so my childhood is basically over, i just dont want to see a beautiful game from it guttered or written over in a bad light. if your goals are more to make money over keeping it a good game then please also still conisder the dragonvale 2 or more idea. sincerely, julian plyter

Love it!

Years and years ago, I had this on my iPad. It was a really fun game! A month ago, I got this on my phone. It’s still a really fun game! I like how you’ve added dragons and fun things like that. When I had this on my iPad though, I got to like level 50 or something before my iPad got lost. Since I had level 50, I had the rift. And can I just say, it was so incredibly fun to breed dragons that were the same, but different. I loved it so much that I wish it didn’t take a level 28 to get the rift. Maybe like a level 22 or something, because it takes a while to level up. You don’t have to do this, it’s just a suggestion. Thank you for reading this, I truly love this game! 😊 Update: My Summoning Circle has been saying that it’s “under maintenance” for the past day! I’m really sad because last time I checked there was a Jet dragon that would be able to summon in about a day, and that dragon is very near and dear to my heart, because I bought gems to buy that dragon last time I had this game. So please please PLEASE fix this! 😩 Update: Thank you for responding Deca! I didn’t know that it really was under maintenance, so thank you for saying so! I appreciate that you are trying very hard to help your game. Have a great day! 🤗PS: please have a small chrysalis habitat that you can buy with dragoncash.

LOVE THIS GAME❤️❤️❤️but...

First of all, I have had this game literally all my life (JK, I got it when it first came out). From my knowledge it’s the first dragon breeding game, so that’s big. Also the gameplay and animation style is unique. Another thing is that new dragons come out like every week or a big update like (for example) the rift update comes out like every 2 months, so there’s always something new to enjoy. Now let’s talk about the ‘but...’; it starts with the rift update. I love the fact that breeding is almost instant and the rift alignment stuff, but, there’s this this call Miasmic Ether and you have to clear it to unlock more of the rift. Sounds fair. BUT, it’s not. Let me explain, each time you clear the Miasmic Ether, you need more etherium (currency in the rift) to clear the rest. For example if I clear one cloud for 200 etherium, the next cloud I clear will cost me 225 etherium, and this value NEVER goes down! So by the time you clear ALL the Miasmic Ether, you will end up paying (for example not actually) 1,235,675 etherium. So basically it’s a hopeless grab for money💸. I like the feature that you have to pay more etherium to clear more Miasmic Ether but there should be a way for the value to go down, like,”Everyday the Miasmic Ether cost resets!” Or something. Also I just wanna say, Backflip Studios, if you’re reading this then please fix this problem...I’m done here.P.S. Backflip I have a ton of ideas for dragons so contact me...notice me senpai.

This game is my childhood, but...

I have been playing this game off and on since 2012, and I adore the animations and main concepts. The only issue that has always frustrated me with this game is the need for in-app purchases to fully enjoy it. I have been able to make a fairly decent dragon park without paying any money...but that took me eight years. I guess you could say that this game taught me patience, making me wait for almost every single part of the gameplay, such as breeding dragons, hatching eggs, building habitats, removing trees and rocks, and basically every important part of the game. Yes I understand that breeding should take some time, but making someone wait for 26 hours just to get an egg, then spend like 6 hours hatching it?? The game offers the player to instantly finish whatever they are waiting for, if they pay with gems, a form of currency that is purposely made almost impossible to obtain without spending real money. I understand that the creators need to make money, which is why I suggest making the game cost money to download, and making waiting times significantly lower. I would totally be on board with that, for DragonVale is truly a good game. It is above the quality of other in-app purchase games in so many ways, so why not remove the in-app purchases? I would willingly give the makers my money because I appreciate their game, not because I want to hatch a single dragon egg without having to wait two days.

Easy park arranging

Hi backflip studios, I hope your reading this. Overall the game is great. Me and a lot of my frIends really enjoy it and play it just about every day. It’s awesome because it always has new updates and new dragons coming out. My only complaint is that I’ve had this game since I was pretty small and I didn’t organize my park good, now I’m level 45 and don’t have a lot of room to work with. I’m buying new islands to try to organize my park as I’ve re-downloaded the game. If you guys know what clash of clans is, there’s a way to organize your base. You click this button and you choose a base you want to edit and edit it. With DragonVale you cannot do this which makes the park very hard to rearrange. What I was thinking you guys at backflip studios could do which I think would be amazing along with my friends is that you make a rearrangement feature for your park. To try to visualize, maybe when you hit the park edit button there can be an option that says remove all objects or you could even do it by island. When you hit the remove all objects button, the dragons fly into the air and circle the island leaving you habitats and decorations along with paths organize-able. Please consider adding this into you next update as it would be a wonderful edition to the game. I generally love the game and thank you for making it.
