Good response - hope everyone gets a Solstice this week. We should get an announcement screen from BFS today telling us about the Solstice dragon. Their last couple announcement screens have been coming out the day after the dragon appears. Should be around 1-2 weeks like the other recent limited/rare dragons. Glad it was not a one day only for this dragon!

Hello DV Friends, in between waiting for my Solstice egg to hatch and jumping between islandZ 1 (think everything is completed) and 2 (going up happiness levels, waiting to build more mansions, main building level 8, marble pit, broken idol, etc.) I downloaded a new game this morning, Pocket Planes, and created a Flight Crew called "DV FLYERZ". It may not be for everyone but about an hour in my first impression is it's fun building airports, scheduling flights, moving cargo and people around to different places. I don't think there is as much content yet as the other gameZ we love but it has potential. The tutorial is a bit choppy, background music is lacking, but you can choose to build your beginning airport on the different continents around the world and then work towards growing your airport and flights domestic and internationally. Not sure how the Flight Crew thing works yet but I started it, other friends from here can enter the Flight Crew name and then in the background I think we compete "joined together" with others in our crew. Any questions please PM, trying to keep this on topic and related to DV in this forum. Happy breeding to all!

Hi, TexasTed. I tried pocket planes, but simply couldn't get past the ugly pixelated graphics. I don't know why people still think that they look cool. Also there is another game coming by the same Devs- pocket trains, which is the carbon copy of this one. Nimblebit dipped in my eyes, frankly. Just my 2c.

i can recommend "The Tribez"
very addictive and cute graphics

Thanks gp, fox and Texas! It was a solstice dragon. I guess I saw 24 and got confused lol

With Solstice dragon the egg looks better than the dragon itself. BS again used low rez textures for some reason. It is especially visible on the horns. You don't even have to zoom in close to see pixelation. Flames look great but overall it is not as "grand" as the sun dragon. I can't say I am totally disappointed. More like underwhelmed.

Dragonvale just announced on Facebook that the solstice is around until June 27 and will be back again for the winter solstice. They also said the best time to breed them is the actual day of the solstice. Would that be June 20 or 21st?

I looked it up and it will be June 20. The winter solstice is December 21.

So far I've had about 7 fails. Going to try a different combination. Good to know that the odds seem likely to increase on the actual day.

Okay...just got my solstice with blazing and clover (in that order) in my EBC. (Didn't really pay attention to the levels, but I believe they are both over 10.) Now I can go back to trying for a second pearl.

Nevermind...had posted about a possible glitch, but it seems it was user error instead.
