I have bred ice and mine on both islands with level 15+ dragons every day since the diamond dragon was released. I have been using at least 5 gems a day from the colosseum and whatever gems my 12 gemstone dragons produce. I have been watching the clock, nearly every time and finishing the breeding an hour or two early. New breed when I go to sleep. new breed when I wake up. I breed at least twice per day (very often 3 - 4 times a day) on each island for what, 24 days now? that makes it at least.. and I mean at least, this is an underestimate... at least 48 times breeding mine and ice. i have not even bothered trying for any other dragons, i never do until I get my two gemstones each month and I have not had one single diamond dragon. They have obviously changed the game settings because this is the first gemstone it has happened to me. In the past, every single month, without fail, I have been able to get at least 2 gemstones by about week 2 and always by week 3 of the month. In some cases I have had three gemstones within a week. It's interesting, they are trying to get us to upgrade the dragons and used to say that level 15 and above helps speed things up but it seemingly doesn't. I see when the game loads in that now a message says level 20 dragons improve breeding chances. They are pushing to make us buy more gems/food to get to level 20 dragons, which are ridiculously expensive. I stopped buying gems once and for all after they made the shrines upgradeable as I felt very cheated by that. It's not the end of the world though, we know the dragons will be back at Xmas, which was the first thing that made me question buying gems when they made the bone dragon and then the gemstone dragons available again. I'm not feeling much love for DV this last few months and if this is the first gemstone I don't get well.. It's just proof they are making it harder for normal players and pushing us to buy gems. Resist, don't spend your money. If they see we don't buy gems and just accept defeattheynwill make it easier again. Please, don't be tempted to buy gems, its only a game/dragon, not the end of the world. But good luck though. I will keep trying.
