Dreadfall Season Is Here!
Spiderwebs, pumpkins, and candies – oh my! Dreadfall has arrived at campus and has brought a long list of new features, rewards, and items!
The spookiest season of the year is finally here and Hiccup and the rest of the Dragon Trainers cannot wait for Vikings to see everything that it has brought to campus, including:
- New hybrid – Bonestormer
- Bonestormer Dreadfall skin
- Bonestormer weapons
- 2 Dreadfall themed racetracks
- 8 Dreadfall themed Dragon Tactics levels
- 4 Dreadfall missions
- 24 daily quests
- Dreadfall themed stable quests
- Dreadfall maze
- & more!
Along with these items, the twins have set up the Dreadfall event where Vikings can collect candies to earn time-limited rewards! The top prize being the chilling Bonestormer, a hybrid between the Boneknapper and the Stormcutter.
Vikings can earn candies by completing races, Dragon Tactics levels, quests and more! The more candies
Vikings earn the better the rewards they can collect. Those ready to take part of the seasonal festivities can start making their way to campus for this bone-chilling adventure!
So y'all really did decide to do an event... Bold move in light of your history as of late. But now I'm genuinely curious as to how many people you think will take this event seriously. You give us absolutely no reason to. So...I hope you're not expecting a huge spike in profits like your previous events.
Lol watch there be a Bonestormer SALE when it's in store, I'm willing to bet there will be one.
1. Please Fix Multiplayer Thunder Run Racing! It's broken since the Dreadfall update arrived, same case as TRR back in Thawfest, difference is this time players can't play multiplayer racing at all. Everyone's been excited to get to race with other racers on new Dreadfall tracks again, so SoD devs please Don't let the same mistake happen again!
2. Please Fix the NEW "Long Night Flight" gem chests reward from Long Night Flight and Bright Light Flight stable quest! We can't click and open it in our inventory!
Thank you!
3. FIX THE EXCHANGE BOARD THINGIE.
4. FIX. THE. DRAGON.
I don't have it yet but the skins are broken on mobile.
What do you mean?
Also the prizes for LNF and BLF are signifigantly less
Like how much less?
Can you open the chest?
No but it is not a hoard of gems anymore and the chest is labeled "Long Night Flight Rewards" so I can only assume that it is candies for the event or more likely significantly less gems. It looks more like a chest of gems than a hoard of gems. I don't remember exactly but I think that a chest of gems has 50 - 400 in it? I may be wrong.
YAY! THANK YOU! I AM SO EXCITED! And I'm gonna get a cool dragon months before the people who chose to wait... Mwa-ha-ha can't wait to show it off XD

Can I ask when the SoD staff is going to listen to players? As long as these events keep happening that means we're not going to get anymore expansions. There's been a vast amount of players state that they miss expansions and want them back. How much of a profit does the SoD staff really think they're going to get with these events now since we know the dragon will be put in the store in a few months? The only people who will pay money for events now/really spend a lot of time on the event are A)new players who don't know the dragon will be in the store in a few months or B)people who don't want to wait/really enjoy events. I really don't think you all are going to get the profits you think you are. I really feel like a lot of people are just going to wait until the Bonestormer is released in the store and then they'll get it. I honestly think you'd get more money from releasing expansions. It's just disappointing that the players are not being listened to. We would like expansions as well as the other gem stable quests back.
(Note: This is not aimed at Brynjolf personally, however, since he's the mediator between the devs and players I had to post this on one of his threads. Just wanted to make that clear.)
THIS.
They will start listening when people stop paying for their product, I'd assume.
The events are very profitable.
Mhh, mixed emotions yet again. Am I excited for an event? Yes. As someone who's still quarentining for reasons that should be obvious I am excited for something to focus on, don't get me wrong. However, I do miss expansions like the majority of players. They're on their way to doing better, the producer videos are a good start, but the question is are they reading youtube comments more than the forum? Maybe we just need to redirect our very long-winded irritations (which are all justified) at their youtube/twitter/facebook as well as the forums. I can see how one out of four outlets can be over-looked, but if we all start messaging all four with what we're enjoying and what we want, we have a better chance of being seen and a better chance of being listened to.
Either way, I'm very happy personally for the event (even if I don't plan to spend any money on it, I'm still gonna enjoy it regardless of how far I get) and the Bonestormer doesn't look too bad at all. It's clear they have a new designer, so the newest dragons are all a little bit alike, but I like this hybrid so I'm alright with the looks of it.
But yeah, I suggest we just basically overwhelm them with comments, compliments about what we are enjoying, and complaints of what we don't like everywhere we can to maximize our chances of not being overlooked. With enough persistance they'll have to see someone and take a comment that's repeated ten times over and think "maybe we should read this". lol
Yeeeaaahh...
No.
I mean, don't get me wrong; I was more than lucky to have fully completed last year's Dreadfall and managed to get the dragons at the time with no problems (besides the constant glitches and bugs); however, this year with every other hybrids now being released to everyone in the store I'll just wait this one out and spend 1000 gems on the dragon instead.
I'll still participate in the event and collect the other prizes available, but the dragon I'll just wait until you guys (the devs and other staff of SOD) just turn around and release it in store like you'll do anyway.
So, good health to all,
and Happy Halloween!
Cool but I wish you guys would test your content before releasing it....
It's very unsurprising, I know, but half of the event appears to be broken. Yet again.
Well, we're all here now, so I guess you won't mind listening to be ramble/rant.
SoD is a great game. I have got people totally hooked. It's fun, with lots to do. But there's a bit of a problem.
Bugs.
Glitches.
They're everywhere.
After an improvement, however great dreadfall is, it certainly scuppered me and my brother's race to 2000 trophies, since we can't race. I got a Long Night Floght chest just before, got 300 gems, was very proud of myself. No I have got one waiting in my inventory unable to be opened. Yay. The admins don't seem to be listening, but being positive, I hope that they will soon realise that 'Huh. We aren't getting money any more. Why?' And they shall look in the forums and find their answers, and hopefully, act upon them. Otherwise, this game will plummet like the new Light Fury flight suit, and I don't want that. More expansions, yes! Yes! I love them, and is almost the sole reason I keep playing, knowing/ hoping a new expansion shall be out soon. The events, maybe just keep the deco, but not the actuall team stuff leachy thing. Honestly, I could go on for hours, but (for now) I'm going to leave it there as no-one likes a mile long message that takes an hour to read.
SoD just keeps releasing updates / events that aren't ready to be released, in other words: Full of bugs and glitches, ABSOLUTELY BROKEN and dysfunctional.
It's such a shame, because updates / events like this are suppose to be good, and would actually be good and fun if only it would WORK and aren't broken. Updates / events like this are suppose be attracting players to stay and retired players to return and give the game another chance, but instead of updates making improvements towards the game, SoD just gets more and more broken after every update, the overwhelming bugs and glitches are overshadowing all the new features, convincing the players to give up and quit the game more and more, time and time again. Sure SoD may be getting some money, but this is seriously hurting the game's longevity!
Ya'll just watch SoD loose more and more players, servers in-game get emptier and emptier after this embarrasment of an update, exactly like what happened with all the other past events (first Dreadfall, Snoggletog, Thawfest).
It's just beyond disgusting and disrespectful how multiple events/updates like this have passed, and SoD still just keeps making the same mistakes over and over, this Dreadfall is just as broken as Thawfest if not worse! as the same bugs/glitches are occuring (like, Thunder Run Racing is still broken with the new racetracks, exactly like Cold Winds in Thawfest, it's literally just a useless update that's just there to break TRR for Dreadfall, how INCREDIBLY STUPID is that) That's when you know well they don't listen, respect or take accountability of their players/supporters' feedback!
Wasted: Energy, Time, Potential, and Budget... all because SoD devs don't take their jobs seriously and professionally.
I love Halloween, so I love Dreafall too. But..it's so BROKEN. Everything is broken, the racing, the quests...But I like the atmosphere at least.
Edit: I can't talk to Gobber in New Berk about his mission. So...Can I find him anywhere else?
Don't mind me. I just needed a place to put down my thoughts on all the bug report threads I'm seeing pop up and since I've already commented on this thread I decided to do it here. lol.
I saw this coming. I knew there would be a bunch of bug report threads pop up when this event was released. Every event has had bugs, some of them never even acknowledged, let alone fixed before the event ended. Anybody remember Thawfest? The Cold Winds racetrack was broken in multiplayer and some people couldn't get medals from the daily quests. Neither bug was fixed. The Cold Winds bug was never even acknowledged. The issue that some people had with the daily quests was acknowledged(I remember someone said support emailed them and the email said they were aware of the situation and were working to fix it)but a fix never came and the people affected were never compensated.(So just a heads up to everyone, if Thawfest is any indication, racing and the daily quests issues won't be fixed this time either) Every. Single. Event. has massive bugs that come along with it. I'm honestly wondering why people even bother taking the events seriously anymore. It seems like much less of a headache to just wait until the dragon is released in the store in a few months and get it then. It's just so frustrating that they're not listening to us players. They're continuing to release buggy events despite the feedback from players. Honestly, they should just go back to releasing expansions and if they want to have some kind of event, have a mini event like the Night Light one. They could even put in the daily quests if they wanted.
Yeah, sorry for the rant. This is coming from someone who isn't even participating. XD I'm just frustrated with what I'm seeing lately.
I love this game, and I normally do not complain . . . but there are problems.
The main problem is the Daily Quests. I love questing and the only time we have had new quests in the last year, has been at the Event such as Dreadfall, etc. So that's why, I play these events. In 3 days, I've should have been able to play 6 quests to earn Candies, and to play 3 other quests for additional experience points, etc. Quests allow my Dragons to earn experience points, which is the main reason quests are needed so much in the game.
However, I've only been able to complete 3 quests out of the 9 possible quests that I should have been able to complete in the last three days. Why have I completed only 3 out of 9 possible quests?
Day 1:
Completed: 1. In a Prickle-Quest from Fishlegs, involing Prickleboggle dragon and Fishleg's dragon cards (corrected entry) 2. Death Race-a Ruffnut joke quest;
Glitched/Bug Report issued: 3. Patrolling the Archipelogo from Astrid.
Day 2:
Completed: 1. Lookout Quest from the Biologist;
Glitched/Bug Reports issued: 2. Patrolling the Archipelogo from Astrid, 3. Tis so Dreadful-from Mulch and includes running, The Dreadfall Maze.
Day 3.
Completed: 1. None; Don't even remember the name of the third quest that was posted. I spent all my time dealing with the other two quests. . .
Glitched/Bug Reports issued: 2. Tis so Dreadful-from Mulch and includes running, the Dreadfall Maze, 3. The Angry Chieftain from Dagur.
Day 4 (today): I have the same two glitched quests from Day 2 and Day 3. I've completed the only quest that was left: Death Race-a Ruffnut joke quest.
At this point I cannot win any Daily Quest Candies, since I am only able to complete 1 quest a day. Two quests need to be completed daily to earn the candies. This is a serious problem for any and all players in the game. I hope I'm the only player that is experiencing this problem . . . .
Other problems:
Maze. . . This is a good, yet still difficult maze, and it's the first one I actually like. Trying not to get run down/killed by rolling pumpkins is cute, but not easy. I would do this maze daily if I could be sure of getting the daily reward of candies, for both the Daily Quest: Tis so Dreadful and for the Daily Maze run. However, since the maze is linked to a Quest that is seriously glitched. I can't be sure that I'm receiving the Daily Maze Reward, at all. And, I cannot received a Daily Quest reward if the quest is not completed. This is a see-saw that does not work.
Daily Login Rewards. . . I'm not even sure that I'm receiving the daily reward for logging into the game each day.
Okay enough said . . . I do love this game and will continue to play.

Maybe if a lot of members (say 20-50) got togeather they could pressure the SOD team to fix watever bugs by treatining to cansle there memberships
I love events. I don't know why. Therefore I am extremely excited for this. The dragon looks sweet, there's a frikkin CROSSBOW in the event rewards, and I'm having fun. Sure, last Dreadfall it took me 75% of the event to figure out how to actually get maximum candies from my gems, and last Snoggletog stressed me out because I'd promised myself that I was going to get Pouncer (huge Pouncer fan :D), but Thawfest was kinda fun because by the time it rolled around I ACTUALLY KNEW WHAT I WAS FRIKKIN DOING, and I am excited to have something to do.
I'm not gonna lie, though it would be great if expansion packs could start coming out again. . .
Your players are not stupid.
Wow, I just won a Dreadfall stable in a DF Mystery box. I'm usually not that lucky with mystery boxes. The stable is incredible.
I've not yet found any reward, but it's a place that make you want to climb over every cliff and wall. If you fall off it spirals you back onto the entry path. I've not yet seen any treasure, but the view is great! Enormous rocky cliffs and caves surrounded by the lots of sea and sky.

I know that the events have a ton a glitches but the SOD team really did a lot of improvements compared to their previous events.
First of all the event is for 41 days, so we have more time to earn candies (an average of 425 candies per day). Compared to the previous events I participated in, this one was a big improvement.
Second, the ship glitches in the battle event are very rare compared to the previous events held.
Daily reward glitch was still an issue just like the previous events but they had it fixed within a week.
Same goes to the daily quests, though some are still glitched. The wrong candy color issue was solved within a week as well.
Race track glitches remain unsolved.
The maze got a makeover, it had some new features like climbing and the rolling pumpkins which made it stand different from the previous events.
But overall guys I think that this year’s dreadfall is the best event which has been held so far.
The racing is showing signs of being worked on too. Currently the only glitch I know of (with Dreafall as it's cause, of course) is the Dreadfall Valley one, but even that has improved. Currently whenever you enter a lobby with it you can actually get into the track now. The timer isn't glitched, and you can see that it's Dreafall Valley instead of just saying 'Track'. The only issue now is that the other players don't load in; you just sit there waiting endlessly for others to join you.
This is an update and apology for my previous post in this thread.
