    Bummer, sorry to hear that. They have Awakening system soon, and also some new ulti fusions, but I can kinda see what you mean. Waiting for a month or so for new descends and just farming for + eggs in between can get boring.

    Im aware, but the awakening system just further makes the game even easier. I strongly believe the game was most fun when norse gods were extremely rare, and you basically had your choices between norse god teams, old valk (2.5) adk (2.5) indian teams...or (gasp) resist teams. None of this blow everything up in 5 turns. It was meaningful to progress through the normal dungeons and technical ones, but now it's just too easy. I was one of the first on NA side to progress passed venus and neptune while most were stuck on tower of flare...and it felt awesome to get passed that point. Now it's just grind grind grind for plus eggs and leveling more creatures...and at the end of the day when another descended drops? Its just another boss to repeat the cycle.

    I've contributed countless strategies, moderated the facebook group and even won the 10k like facebook giveaway (getting stickers and a PAD iphone case) since I was helpful in the community. The game is great, don't get me wrong...it just stagnates at the end game. My options are farm plus eggs or level more monsters I won't really use.

    Yea, I kinda wish I started earlier, before all the strategies were so developed. As frustrating as it can be, I really enjoy certain aspects of playing a game blind and figuring things out as you go. I suppose I still could, but it's just hard to resist looking up dungeon stats and strategies when they're everywhere.

    At any rate, you had fun while it lasted and that's what ultimately matters.

    But just curious, what sort of teams did you build when you played through the first time? I think that was before the starter dragons got their ultimate evos, so unless you got lucky with REM, people were mainly stuck with mono teams with single multipliers, or, like you said, leveling resist dragons (and maybe pairing with auto-healers)?

    Playing through at the very beginning consisted of a lot of resist based/odin teams with autohealers or 2 sirens, my ADK team (I got passed junos island with my ADK team) I got freyja on st. patty's day...end of march godfest (5 1/2 months after I started playing) I then went mono-green (still am) but always had a backup team/resist I could use. On the ancient light whiskey dragon, I was using a freyja/fairlio team comp based on whittling it down rather than the 4 turn dark team that was kill or be killed. Godfests and updates were much less frequent...like 3 total godfests in the first 5 months, events would roll around like 2-3 times in that period etc.

    I started this video series for the PAD fb group and they seem to really enjoy it, so I'm making it a youtube series now.

    Wow, 2-3 events in 5 months seem unthinkable. Exp, evo mats, everything would be so much harder to get. But that makes it all the more special when godfest comes around I suppose. People must've stoned like crazy for Pengdra village and Gold Dragons.

    Isn't going to be easy considering about 30 feeders to max her. Working out to be:

    1.2mil green exp
    35 Dragon Flower
    70 Dragon Plant
    70 Dragon Seed

    But nice nonetheless, especially since we'll get 2x drop days. I'd rather have the 2x poring though. Think my heartbreakers would see a lot more action than Pavarti.

    Yes zzsark, having one of my main characters i use go from extremely underpowered to the strongest healer is far more exciting than the awoken system

    I wish. I've had no luck with metal dragons today. Saving all my pal rolls for the next event as I imagine it will probably be coming soon.

    Seeing as I have 2 AAlucifers should I meld 1 for the awakening?
