DragonVale 4+

I’ve been playing DragonVale since about 2012 I’d guess and I’ve played on and off over the years losing parks due to me not remembering email addresses when I’ve loved the game since I first started playing on it I’ve been playing mow for 90 something days and I’ve just got to level 30 one thing I’d say to compliment the game is that once you start playing it’s easily addictive especially during events and all stuff they added that never used to be in the game also another I’d like to say is I remember about 2 years ago they’re was some raises in price for gems money and that but now it has been decreased due to deca studios as it was originally increased due to hasbro who bought the original developers of the game backflip studios was losing money or at least not making as much as they wanted to

Anyway overall I believe it’s a great game I’ve loved for years and I feel like it doesn’t get enough praise and representation as other games of its genre on the App Store do

I’ve been playing this since it launched, many years ago, and I’ve probably spent between £200 and £400 on gems and special items over that time. It used to be that all you needed to get all the dragons was time and patience, but that has changed recently. I always took part in the special events - and it was always possible to get all the event dragons just by checking in every day and collecting the special items. Then it changed so you can only get all the special event dragons if you pay. And I did, for a long time, but that ended with the Hawaii themed event, even after collecting all the items every day and paying out almost £40, there was still no way I could get all the event dragons. So I stopped emptying my bank account into the game. I’ll not lie, I hate having gaps I can’t fill, and I’m sure that discomfort on opening the game will eventually translate itself into a Pavlovian dislike for the game in general. I can’t imagine they’re getting many new subscribers, so they need to generate income be squeezing the existing ones. Tragically, that’s a short term and short sighted solution. If they’d stuck to gouging me £10 per event, I’d probably still be paying £10 to keep my dragonarium full, but they got greedy, and now they get nothing more.

I posted this a few years ago and backflip listened - things improved considerably. Now, a few years on, things are worse. Evolving dragons that are nearly impossible to breed in the first place, and the om of noms evolution criteria? Total joke! -

I have been playing this game since I think it first came out. Daily I have strived to breed the dragons, and the game has gotten better and better. Until now. No longer are we breeding dragons but constantly bombarded with special events, events that are impossible to complete without spending substantial amounts of money. I think the first special event had four tasks? Now each one has seven! With the first dragon egg being the fourth one. During the snowflake event I managed to get one egg, spending £3.99. The last one I got one egg spending £7.98! I'm sorry but my dragonarium is no longer breathing fire and will stay that way as I'm not prepared to throw away these amounts of money. I never minded spending the odd couple of pound when you look at the amount of work that has gone into this game, but come on Backflip, children play this game, don't you think you are being greedy? If these special events continue, and no new dragons come out through breeding, I think I will be closing my park for good. I am the only one who feels this way? Backflip, I hope you're listening.....
