They use to tell us when we had new.

Crickets are still chirping... But an update has been released tonight with no announcement, news. Race track wheel now spins smoothly, also limited dragons are now in the races. I raced against Bone and Clover dragons during a Year of the Dragon race. Spin results are still producing very few gems and I learned from reading the spinner will always stop on the 7th space so the prize is predetermined. When the gold spinner comes up slowly turn the spinner clockwise, count the space the arrow is on as one and the 7th space will always be the stopping space/prize. No matter if you spin fast or slow or start at different spots it will always stop on the 7th space. Great for those that like to read the last page of a book and find out what happens but I wish the spin result stopped randomly.

A ill embarrassing but thought I would share anyway. Just came back from vacation, went camping in Acadia nat'l forest in Maine. No sooner get up there but learn about the oly dragons. Only wifi is at the ranger station. So held out for 4 days like a good camper, then caved in and at night when family and friends were toasting marshmallows, I hiked to the ranger station, hunkered down and spent a ton of gems to get the olys as soon as I could.

The funny part? I am a 60 year old marketing director, married 43 years to the same man, have wonderful children and grandchildren, love my life, and I crave these damn eggs. Guess I am coming into my second childhood.

Best of luck to everyone on getting their wished for dragons.

Wow! it is true. I knew the results were rigged, and here is confirmation.

Thanks for that.

My wife always makes fun of me for spending so much time on this game but knowing all of u and your ages and your schemes to find a way to play no matter what make me feel like I'm not alone ... It's like we are a weird obsessed family... And I love it!

Thanks for making my day again
Lol
Ps I'm 25 have two beautiful boys and a wife and work 50 hrs a week but always find time to play and be on here (shhhh I'm at work now)

These limited time dragons are annoying now. Two weeks to get three Olympus dragons is unreal. We have a month to get one Gem dragon and sometimes that's not long enough!
So far I've had more Quake, Sonic and Crystal than I care to count. Had one Bronze and one breeding, which this morning turned out to be another bronze! Sheesh, three more days untill the Olympics closing ceremony and I still have to get Silver and Gold. Might end up having to buy gems, since I used them all on Ruby and Olympus fails...

I hope everyone else is having more luck, especially Hooked, your due a bit of luck after that Ruby!

Which combo's have given the best results so far?

I got one just after the update, but I already had two silvers and one bronze. I didn't use any gems to speed up fails because I used them all to upgrade the EBI and breeding cave. The only pair that has worked for me is Air/Quake. I hope you have a bit more luck after those bronzes.
