I am having the same problem. I do not see any of my friends.I wrote Backflip.

Totally agree with you TIMELESS....a lot of unnecessary stress for a dragon that was too hard to get in comparison to the time we were told we had.
As we all know....this dragon breeding is as random as our own experiences are individual. I also question why they put such a high gem price on something that we supposedly had such a short timeframe to breed.

I guess it's because it's a rare dragon.....but how many dedicated players ended up getting so caught up on getting this thing (talking about those that either took ages or had long breed fails here) that they played in a different way to what they normally would.....almost in a state of panic whilst being fixated on the ticking clock......heck we only need to read dragon wiki to hear what lengths some have gone to.....I still think DV devs must be sitting there rubbing their hands with glee as the money keeps rolling in...is this why they may have extended the time now??? Only they know for sure.

This is a real swings and slides game.....no doubt about it

My heart really does go out to anyone who ends up missing out, what a wonderful gift it would be from someone who was lucky enough to get two LY's and could breed a third to give as a present....I know I would do so in a heart beat, haven't been able to get a second one though.....but once I get another rainbow I would gift that, or a Frostfire too.
Maybe BS will somehow incorporate this feature into DV one day...I have certainly asked on behalf of myself and posters on here that they consider this idea....

I would love to help my DV friends . That would be great if we could Help each other by gifting dragons they can not get.

I just went back into mine but it's fine.

@ everyone
one of my epic fails with cold + love resulted in another frosty!!! as well as 2 crystals & a pan...amongst many others (firefly, scorch, storm, to name just a few).
Anyway, I used gems to speed up the frosty and then leveled him up to 10 and leveled up the new crystal and put them together in the reg. love cave and BINGO!
LPY # 2 is on the way! Doing the happy dance....
All I need is another moon and I will call myself (and my 'vale) complete!!
I don't even care about making my shrines gold.
I sure hope everyone will get theirs in time...my daughter has not been successful yet but we still have a few more hours to go.

I think I was getting a bit frantic, panicky and stressed trying for second one yesterday and I actually gave in and bought one lot of gems!! WHAT WAS I THINKING? It's only a game, the dragons aren't real.........are they???

Jaz you had me laughing after reading this. I was in a panic last night for my second LY too. I was buying WAY too many gems trying to hurry up all my fails. It got to the point I actually had a talk with myself saying "You are spending money on virtual creatures?? They aren't real!" LOL

I think gifting eggs would be a fantastic idea! It would certainly be a way for BFS to redeem themselves...

Finally joined after reading (felt more like snooping) for over 5 months now. I had to post my story about my son since it will help all those who haven't bred a LYD. I became hooked on this last Sept. when my son and husband wouldn't leave the crazy game alone. All I did was help my son and husband better their game, until I realized I should have my own. Love playing it but did boycott it a while back when it was going no-where. My husband accidentally deleted my son's game and he had to start over.

He has been trying for so long to get a rainbow. I stayed up at night to keep trying for him. Then along came a panlong and while trying to breed for a second panlong... he got his rainbow. The boy was ecstatic. Sadly, when he went to hatch the egg, it accidentally was sold instead. My son has autism and this not only crushed him, but it left him crying for hours. I held him bawling and everyone in the family had to not mention the DV word, let alone play it.

I continued playing and saving gems for him. I also wrote the game-makers who said they were terribly sorry but they couldn't reinstate the game (although they did send him a gift which helped lift his spirits). When I found that the LYD came out last night, I was determined to get him one. How else to bring him back to loving the game but to get him a rare 4 year dragon.

I have not been able to breed one, have used all my gems up & have one last try. But after 149 of my son's gems, he has his egg! He was utterly thrilled and jumping off couch screaming this morning. It was so awesome to have my happy litle boy back! I could care less that I don't have one because seeing my son's happiness is so much better. He was so devastated about the loss of his rainbow... he talked about it in his sleep or would cry if someone said dragon.

He thinks so highly of the "magical people" who gift him gems. So KoleKade wants to say thank you to you "magical wizards." (meaning his Game Center friends). If you are one of his friends, thank you for making my son's day. Autism can be difficult at times and other times, there is so much contagious joy that oozes all over when someone with autism is happy. Best Feeling EVER! Thank you again for all your tips that you've shared. They have made the difference in the life of this child. Great game for kids to learn about patience and consequences.

By the way, we used Love/Cold... He flipped out too because he accidentally got a frostfire in one of his fails.

Thank you so much for sharing! I would also be honoured to be one of KoleKade's magical wizards.

I've been trying LYD#2 with no luck! I bred LYD with rainbow in attempt and of course got 48 hours. Decided to try bluefire and crystal in my other Dave not 10 minutes later and got 48 hours again!!! So I have two 48 hour timers going. Bah humbug.

I hope everyone was at least able to breed their first LYD!!!

Love the idea of egg trading, now how do we go about making this a reality??
