So do we need to use the new potion to find the dragons in a remote area? I mean not super remote but most curiosities pop up in places that aren’t flagged for a different family of Foundables. So to me that means away from parks and such and look for areas not flagged for best curiosities. Thoughts?!
Thats great but i will miss out on it as i like many others have to work. This game is beginning to lose its magic for me. These events arw not long enough for those of us who work 12 hours or more a day. Considering uninstalling the game. Sucks because i do enjoy playing it when i do get time.
Looking forward to it, even if it is at the HOTTEST part of the day 😂 Seriously, starting 1pm Central Time... It's supposed to be in the mid 90s. Going to have to find a shady place to look for dragons!
Yeh @LeFayeofAlbion i was confused too lol- but the other pack is there this morn. Glad i looked to check!
Uve summed it up perfectly @JulieJubz & @Minervina19 this week is just totally epic!!! The surprise pack & new potion just tipped me over the edge of the excitement for this week & i think im a bit hysterical now! Lol. I hope today makes missing the WUFF a bit less painful, had to be gutted at that! Big hug!
New poster here, big fan of the hints & tips you regularly share.
I’ve had a few issues with catching dragons today, got kicked out mid-battle a few times for some reason. Reloaded the game and moved to another location, problem solved.
I’m in Wales so obviously I’ve filled up the Welsh Green (why is it classed as “common”? - cheek!) and the Chinese Fireball. How will I be able to get the Opaleye & Peruvian dragons?
@Dewin99 welcome!!The first issue you describe sounds like a connection/network issue. Glad you were able to sort it. The other two dragons will be in their respective regions. So you’ll have to travel across the Atlantic for the Peruvian Vipertooth or travel to Oceania for the Opaleye. UNLESS someday the game has a similar event to today again. But I wouldn’t hope on that too soon. Hope you had fun catching those dragons!! I still have about 3.5 hours to go to get mine!!

How is possible I did’t see even one dragon!? I started play since the time the event was on in my region and for 3 hours I walked, walked and didn’t encounter a SINGLE DRAGON! Only other foundables !! What waste of time. Did you forget turn on the event in my region? Yeah sure I live on island but it show up the eggs of the dragons! So I was hoping I would see Dragons today but no! You didn’t make them spawn....I wouldn’t be even mad if I saw one and it would run away. I just wanted see one!
I'm assuming there's a time difference within regions. I'm in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but the 11 A.M. PDT is actually 3 P.M. here. I believe that's why I'm not seeing any dragons yet.
I just want to say a massive thank you for this wonderful event. I’ve amassed nearly 100k XP, gone from L26 to L28 and had a great time in the process. Kudos to whoever came up with this idea, keep them coming!
I managed by chance to catch part of the event, and it was great! I wish there had been an in-game notification about the event and its times, though, like there is on the 'Special' tab for Brilliant Events. I know we get notifications come through to our phones, but I only see the first couple of lines of those and if I click on them they disappear and take me straight to the website with the trailer page for the game instead of to anything that has the rest of the notification message.
I imagine there will be some people who knew it was coming up, but didn't know it was only 3 hours (I certainly didn't until I came here to check if it had finished as the dragons seemed to have gone.) I'd have planned my day a bit differently if I'd been able to see that information in-game and know when it was coming and how long it would last.
So yes, in summary, it was a great event, but if you run any more similar events, please put the notifications/countdowns/time left in event/etc. info on the 'Special' page - cheers! :o)
@Adrabella in the States, it starts at 11am Pacific time. If you really don’t know time zones, you can google it pretty easily to find your local time equivalent. 11am Pacific is in about an hour.
@Dewin99 yeah I got kicked out mid battle with a dragon too. And yesterday with an Erkling. It wasn’t a network issue. I hadn’t managed a critical hit, so the erkling was still alive. But then it crouched down and got this sly look in its eye like it knew something I didn’t (or maybe I was reading too much into it) it was midway to the job moping up and down cackle erklings do in fortress battles. It crouched down, didn’t attach, smiled that nasty smile and I was back on the map with nothing to show. I wonder why that was.
@mrobinson12 that sucks make. Are you sure you got the right time zone. I made that mistake during a community day.
We had very few spawns because some of the players, those who chose the location chose it because of Pogo and ingress events happening there today, but unfortunately it was flagged as magizoo. I did manage to place both dragons, but I couldn’t prestige the page because I had an egg missing. One person did prestige but he couldn’t complete the next page. We were doing fortress battles because there were no dragons spawning.

Unfortunately, NOT A SINGLE DRAGON SPAWNED for me, despite tracer potions, dark detectors at multiple inns. Did awesome with the portkeys and eggs, but i am EXTREMELY disappointed.😭😤🥺
Update: the time zone posted is DIFFERENT for this than for the eggs. SO confusing. So I am early. 😔
I'm having a new security system installed they showed up early. Omg I was not expecting this. I’m hoping to get out by 11:30am m. Please keep your fingers crossed for me everyone. Come on ADT work faster. I have Dragons to catch!
Please can you add a countdown timer in the app for future events like this?
Apart from the people who don't understand time zones, your own tweet added to the confusion when you tweeted that the event in Europe was starting "now" one hour *before* it actually started!
Omg the Chinese Fireball is fast as heck but I caught it. Did even leave the house ADT jest left and I have 10 Fireballs already. That was hard work. I will load a video later.
@SaiDax Yes, the chinese fireball reminded me of Doxys, not quite as bad though. Pattern was pretty easy to figure out, top left to bottom right. Although I was rooting for a different dragon, I do have to admit, what a beautiful dragon!

Your Welcome 🙏 @HPWULOLA . I caught one at exactly 1400 hours. By this time as @ZookiTabooki said I had it’s moves down and it was over in a stoke of my wand.
Thank you for all the extra goodies the helped a lot. Also thank everyone for all the tips. 💕

I wonder if there’ll be egg drops too?

I’m loving the Dragon Day event! 😍😍😍
It was an awesome event.
I did a thank you post.

@Finklepott I found them everywhere. I was only going for dragons so I didn't use the free potion.
My hunting area doesn't have vast flagged areas so if you don't see them in flagged areas just move out of the area.

Wish they add a countdown clock to events and make them all day .
I'm in America when does this start? It's 11am for me n I'm not seeing dragons yet. God I hate time conversations

I have a sick feeling I missed this event. If I did I will be ticked off .

These dragons are showering me in XP. Dont forget to pop a brain folks!
Omg the Chinese Fireball is fast as heck but I caught it. Did even leave the house ADT jest left and I have 10 Fireballs already. That was hard work. I will load a video later.
Hope there will be another Dragon Day soon, so I can collect the whole set! 😁

@SaiDax Thanks for helping cover the West Coast!! Those Fireballs were tricky, but I think we scared them off :)

My last Chinese Fireball. Had so much fun!
