During the last 6 months that I’ve been playing DML (and fully enjoying it), I’ve marked down some ideas that are in my wishlist when it comes to the future of Dragon Mania. As an added flavor, I’ve formatted the ideas as close to an actual patch notes as I could. Enjoy!

DRAGON MANIA LEGENDS PATCH 4.0 RELEASE NOTES
====================
NEW FEATURES
Passive combat effects
Have lost your faith in non-legendary and non-divine dragons? Well, take another look, as dragons beside legendary and divine now boast super awesome passive combat effects, based on their main elements! For example, metal based dragons now slightly reduce damage taken for the whole team. Void dragons, when being attacked, have a small chance of summoning a black hole that engulfs the incoming attack entirely, neglecting the damage. Log in to DML now to find out about the new passive combat effects for the rest of the elements!
Puzzle Altar
Have a surplus of all of those common and uncommon dragon puzzle pieces while missing out on legendary ones? At Puzzle Altar, you can fuse lower level puzzle pieces together to get higher level ones, just like enchantment material fusion.
Constellations
Constellations are time periods where breeding dragons with a certain element is more fruitful (e.g. the upcoming Earth constellation during February means +40% chance to breed higher rarity dragons with Earth element).
Dragon statistics
Curious about how many opponents your favourite dragon has defeated? Or how many times you’ve used each of the elements? Or how popular the dragon is amongst your friends as a helper? The next time you visit your dragons at their habitat, you can see a small window on the side, stating various interesting tidbits about the creature’s life cycle.
DESIGN CHANGES
Transmogrification
Love conquering your foes with your trusty Stardust dragon, but would like to change its appearance to that cool looking Butterfly dragon that you just got? Now you can do that, simply by choosing another “skin” for your dragons. The only requirement here is that you actually have to own the dragon whose appearance you want to transfer over, just like choosing a new avatar for your clan.
Elder dragons
Ever wondered how your main battle dragons would look like a little bit older? Dragons, who reach level 50, are now called Elder dragons, with their appearance matching their age, wisdom and strength. The Elder dragons are highly regarded in Dragolandia, with kids, and even adults, looking up to them with awe and respect. Watch out, Sage dragon, for you are not the only dragon with a beard anymore!
TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS
API support for building cool utilities
More and more we see gamers who have background in software development and would like to build tools for DML that would help other players. For these tools to become even more helpful, we are launching free API for developers to make it easy for fetching player’s in-game data (dragons, habitats, available gold and food, islands bought, etc) to be used in different kinds of third party utility apps.
For example, with the recently launched DML Planner ( https://dml-planner.saldre.eu/ ), you can now log in with your game account and the planner can fetch all of your dragon data automatically, without needing you to manually mark all of your dragons.
Already we are seeing big interest in other useful utilites, such as an app for optimizing your dragons in habitats for maximum gold production, an app that shows a timeline of your dragons with their birth, growth and battles, and many other cool ideas.
QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES
- Clan Event now refunds the excess. After Clan Events end, every clan member gets food and gold paid out proportionally for their leftover event materials (ingredients, siege sprites, etc).
- When opening Daily Missions screen, the previously opened tab will now be displayed without fail. No more hassle when doing those Divide and Reconquer type missions, only to find out that you have to select that tab again after every fight.
- You can now save your different team formations for switching quickly between them before the battle starts. No more looking around the dragon you want from the 300+ dragon selection screen!
- To make the team formation selection before every battle even more easy, you can now drag your selected dragons around for quick repositioning.
- Want to see how many free slots every habitat has? You can now enable from your UI settings so that a number will be displayed on every habitat, representing free/filled slots.
- Bonus chests found on the campaign map are now better balanced. Yes, we kow that 50k gold at the end of Heroic Campign really didn’t make much sense.
- When clicking “Claim all” button for gifts, the gift open sound is now played only once, instead of for every single gift. We hear you, headphone users with lots of gifts who have to take off their headphones when opening 50+ gifts every day, just to avoid that volcano erupt.
