Dragonvale Performance

I usually run DV on my iPad 1 (16Gb). Once in a while I run it on my iPhone 4S (32Gb). I'm always surprised at how much better the performance is on the iPhone. Of course the display on the iPhone is simply incredible, but there are other differences. DV loads much faster on the iPhone, especially when you exit it for another app and return.

So I have a question...

How does DV run on an iPad 2? I know the display isn't as good as the iPhone, but how about loading times and caching? I've been thinking of getting an iPad 2, but my son who is an Apple freak advises to wait for the iPad 3, rumored to come out next month. Your thoughts?

I have an IPad 2 16GB and find the display abolutely great. Since the last updage of DV no problems anymore with loading. It starts straight away when i select the icon. Only if I haven' t visited since a while like an hour, it reloads from starting screen.
Btw, t' is my first (and probably last) Mac device, been on PCs since 17 or 18 years. But i rekon this IPad is a great toy and is am on it most the time. I only boot my Pc if I have things to do which need programs easier to use there or not available on the IPad.
Now, the advice re the next IPad could be a good one as the display is supposed to be even better then the IPad 2.
 
I forgot to add that I do not owe an iPhone. I hate mobile phones lol and cannot even make a text message. Give me a PC problem that's ok but never ask me to find something on a mobile. I have a prepaid card one, only for emergencies lok.

I play on iphone3s and ipad2, the iPad loads better, I have very very few loading errors, and the display is great. I heard the ipad3 won't be out until September, I'm waiting for the iphone5........there's always something better being released.

I was really looking forward to the new iPhone and when it was just an upgraded 4 was most disappointed. I have 3 Gs and like the feel of it. Tend to think of the 4 as a but of a brick :-( and was hoping for new shape so I'll wait and see. Can't manage iPad yet but will hope to get one eventually.
Loading a bit better since the update and it doesn't always have to load from scratch. I've noticed it is doing it a bit more recently though.

I hate to pop your bubble, terrible two is nothing, compare to terrible pre-teen. There's more attitude and lip. When they are two at least they are still lovable and cute.

Don't say that... Right now my son is three and I'm a single mom so I'm trying to teach him to be a little gentleman but he's three.... It's potty training and manners :) if only he'll let me know when he has to do #2 so we can get him on the potty.

I'm STILL having trouble getting my second panlong and second frostfire.

I just leveled up my Panlong to Lvl 15 and I will try to breed that with Lvl 4 Plant.

Any suggestions??

I tried pan and love and got panlong

I am not sure who responded to my comment on my visitors dropping considerably, the response was back a bit ( I think it was poppy). I was wondering why mine had gone from over 100 to around 30. the response was in relation to obstacles, when the visitors pop out of the portal, if there is an obstacle they leave again. Well, as a result of that response, I did some minor work around my portals and now am back up to 90 or so and sometimes even back over 100. I know we don't get any benefit from them, but it's nice to have them around. So thank you Poppy, (I'm sure it was you and if not to whoever posted the response) because it worked. : thumbs: :)
My visitors amount went from 150 down to the 60s over a few days. Then I started redesigning an island or two, and it started climbing again. I think that they're attracted to activity, and lose interest during stagnation.
 
We just got to remember they're phrases. I just remember when my son was 13 it was just a push and pull relationship. One minute he wanted my help and the next minute he wanted control. It comes and goes. Now he is a senior, sent out his apps and less than a year he will be away at college. It just seem like yesterday I left for the hospital. This is keeping me preoccupied as I will have an empty nest soon. Maybe too preoccupied. . .
We all were like that to one extent or another. But my relationship with my mother today is fantastic; I love her dearly and we visit her whenever we can.

Then, when all your kids are gone, you can fill the void with a prosthesis like, oh, I dunno, baby DRAGONS!!!
 
Thank you for sharing. The way I remember it, 17 years ago, was the lawyer said that her adopting parents intended to let her understand that she is adopted, but preferred not to have contact until she was 18 and could decide for herself. I am very emotionally invested in if/when we do reconnect.

Your welcome. Ok, I see. So it sounds like a closed adoption. Have you found her yet if you don't mind me asking? I can only imagine. I was on the other end myself but I was in the same way as far as being the one to seek. The only thing you can do is try. :)
 
I really appreciate the gems that I have been receiving from so many of you. It's a show of support above all. My intent is to reciprocate, and I have the tree, but it's going to take a while. I maintain a list and use a first in first out policy. At this point I'm about 40 gems behind - haven't sent them out tonight yet.

Again, many thanks for the kind support. Poppy's babies appreciate it!

I still have whatever gem(s) you sent me coming back to you as well Poppy. I do the exact same thing. :thumbs:
