BFS lost the continuity in the game this month. They arguably introduced a good number of new dragons to keep the interest, but failed to maintain a balance for the top tier (means high level, complete dragon collection) players. Having got to a complete collection around the time emerald came out, it had remained possible to keep up, with a morning and evening fix of the game. One month later, missing gold, silver, seasonal, rain and ironwood and for the first time ever missing a rare. The impact for new players is similar. It only takes 2 weeks to get to level 18, the dragon races boosting the experience and food, with the new third island to put it on was inspired. The draw back, after only two weeks, users can't afford to spend the whole month trying for a single dragon, it all but halts progress when they want to breeding at least some of the time to get metals and XP boost from them. Ultimately there are too many dragons now for rares to be this hard to get. The game appears to have reached its limit, which appears at this point to be primarily caused by the development team getting the breeding percentage wrong.

Maybe I was just unlucky, but there are just too any frustrated users here on this page for this to be isolated. For me I ave just started playing cosmic colony... I am not sure I will be checking in on dragonvale anywhere near as often and it already feels like it was in the past.

With that said, thanks BFS, been a great 8 months. You did well, in fact you did great.
