Yep,the overlapping happened right after the updates,and it's happened for all tabs. As for the dragon textures,here's a comparison of before (left) and after (right):




I doubt it's because of the lighting. It could just be me,actually ^^"

Thanks for the details, Carotius. This will help us fix the bug.

Hey, shiinyscale. We received your other report on this issue so we wanted to check if you got our response. In case you didn't, please privately message us your username and email address so we can look into this issue. Thanks!

yes i got your response thanky you. and i guess its 50 gems if you invite someone into the game not in a clan.

Hey shiinyscale. We're still looking into the issue so once I receive an answer I'll let you know!

dragonmaster here. I still have the bug of not being able to get rid of the corn seed bags that sit in my farm. 2 on plots, 2 on grass (was able to delete the plots thinking that would work, it didn't)

so please fix that in the next update as well as add outcast island! It'd be better to dive-bomb outcasts and defeat them rather than do it on players and it have no effect :/

[Icka! M. Chif]

On the Fog / Compass mission now. Totally squeeing over the Sunstones, thank you so much for including that piece of Viking culture!! \o/

One thing though: 
  
Pretty sure Hiccup means 'Axis' there, not 'Axes'. 

Can't really see how shining light through Axes would be very helpful, considering they're usually metal and wood and therefore not very translucent.... ^^;;

I think they meant 'Axes' as in the plural form of 'Axis'..

Hey dragonmaster. Sorry about this issue. We're still working on a fix and are doing our best to address it as quickly as possible. Thanks for your patience. Also, thanks for the suggestion. We'll take it into consideration as we design more content for the game!

Thanks for the feedback Icka. In this case, Hiccup is referring to the plural form of axis, which is axes. Thanks for the help, though!

Did not know know that the plural of 'axis' is 'axes'. Learn something new, thank you!! 

Still leaves me with this mental image:

Thanks for the report, shiinyscale. We're glad the game is running smoothly for you and will take a look at the bug you pointed out.

hi there i got some ideas but i don't think its enough to start a new topic under suggestions. hope you don't mind.

how about a race track similar to the test flight scene in the movie.
how about a challange button so you can challange a random player to thunder run.
and what if you win the race? what if your viking puts his hands in the air(like in test flight when hiccup shouted when he came out of those rocks)
this really bothers me, you see i am the leader of the clan and when i click on the meber it only has some options and cose i am not friends with that person i can't send them a message. i would like a button for go to his/hers profile even when they are offline. please.
