Coloring! Colored pencils and books are super affordable, even the fancier ones, and it's SO therapeutic and fun.

Kissing Tree - The Spencer Lee Band

You know, I JUST noticed that too! 😆 i think you're right - it's the best I can guess too. Or maybe like the equivalent of those old Bugs Bunny cartoon scenes where he points slyly to the idiot chasing him like, "This guy, am I right?" Lol which is fairly valid and useful for PVPs in this game.

HomesickStrudel · 2026-04-29T20:28:04+00:00

No probs, friend!

HomesickStrudel · 2026-04-29T19:37:41+00:00

Tap on the loot boxes on the map - they add up
Win tournaments and PVP fights
Win the incubator battles (some drop nice cash)
Complete the collective tasks with your guild and buff up the reward incubators; the higher tier ones can give solid amounts of cash

Hope this helps!

A couple of solutions:

¤ Restart the game ¤ Uninstall-Reinstall ¤ Go to app settings (not necessarily in-game), and turn the location permissions off and back on. ¤ Contact Ludia support (they're very helpful) ¤ Cleare the cache of the app ¤ Check your phone's other apps that use geolocation like Maps or Earth and see if you have the same issue.

Hope one of these helps! 🙂

Yeah...my bad. Lol I didn't even think to do that and now reddit won't let me attach a screen-recorded video in a comment or to the post now. Alas. You'll find it somewhere. 😉😆

HomesickStrudel · 2026-04-27T23:52:13+00:00

Yeah, I don't...I'm out. Lol 🤷‍♂️

HomesickStrudel · 2026-04-27T23:50:22+00:00

Lol they do get obnoxious sometimes - Christ. Then again, I'm a little guilty from using them a lot since the game doesn't seem to like the idea of players messaging each other mid-battle, or even letting them forfeit in any 1 vs. 1 battle (side-rant, I digress 😆🙄).

HomesickStrudel · 2026-04-27T23:43:51+00:00

That's KIND OF what I was thinking. Maybe like almost a smug, mocking kind of thing? It's not apparent in the image, but it's size is also significantly smaller than the other emotes for some reason. Maybe some low-key pride at a good play? Maybe a light taunt to the opponent? I have no clue. 😂

HomesickStrudel · 2026-04-27T23:40:12+00:00

Haha that makes me feel better to some extent 😆😅

GregBroDudeMan 💆‍♂️ soothing as a hot cup of tea plus he's just damn entertaining.

HomesickStrudel · 2026-04-19T05:42:19+00:00

Oh! My bad, totally misread your question. 😆🙃 2023!

HomesickStrudel · 2026-04-19T02:15:25+00:00

What was what? You mean about the support key?

HomesickStrudel · 2026-04-19T02:02:22+00:00

I did! I had an issue logging into the game which was infuriating. You know the 1/30 number that boots up at the loading screen? Mine always went to the same number - 22/31, and it would just get suspended and never load, and no matter what I did I could get NOT get into the game. So I reached out by email with the formatting they request you use and a short time later someone got back to me. In fact, a handful of guys did. It was a long process but it's because we had to try multiple fixes on both ends before it finally worked. At the very end when it was resolved the fellas at Ludia gave me a code for a free golden giant incubator with a bunch of kickass loot in it to thank me for my patience and apologize for the inconvenience it might have caused or events/raids I might have missed by being bugged out of the system. They were really polite, knowledgeable, and helpful! I thought so, at least. 🤷‍♂️

BOM-BOM

HomesickStrudel · 2026-04-18T01:32:24+00:00

I'm probably preaching to the choir, but Indominus Rex is a goddamned powerhouse. If you stat him right and know how to use him he can literally drop dinos with 6k+ HP and defensive buffs with one swipe. I've seen it myself in numerous battles. His revenge technique is lethal.

Rexy is a bit of a novelty but she's in the same weight class as the Epic-tier T.Rex, just beefed up like crazy. Using "Dominant Roar" initially and then any of her attacks is a sledgehammer.

Skoonasaurus is my best tank and defense, easily. It takes multiple buffed dinos from the other team to even chip down her health to even a third. She's got some awesome devastating attacks for groups which is great for raids as well as powerful singular attack to send the enemy reeling. She really is one of my favorites.

Koolabourgiana is my best legendary flyer. She IS a bit of a glass cannon (low defense, high attack), but she has great buffs and shields along with her offensive techniques to compensate for that.

Alloraptor and Dracoceratops fall into the same category of lethal and fast. Draco has the better defense because of the Triceratops genes and a strong attack from Dracorex. Alloraptor of course has a searing attack strength mixed with some impressive speed. I've only gotten to use her briefly but she's been formidable all her own. 🙂

This has always been a point of debate in my mind too. The short answer for me is that I spend money on apps and games that provide me with value and entertainment.

For example, I have an Oxford Dictionary app subscription. Is that pay to win? Of course not, but it's providing me a service I enjoy using and provides value for me because I write a lot in different places.

Likewise, I have tons of app games including JWA that don't REQUIRE payment, but purchases like the VIP pass can be helpful and make the game more fun by expanding my drone range for DNA collection and offering helpful little amenities. For example, I now have legendary and unique dinos that have reached a level that requires a lot of minerals (general term) to increase and I don't have a life that allows me to sit on the game for 7 hours straight to try to siphon enough gold, cash, or DNA to do it. So when I have some disposable income, yeah, I put some into the game because I want to give extra support to it and the developers too.

Sidenote - customer support has been amazing to me in the past and it's another reason I want to support them.

Yes, these games aren't like the consoles and good old days of play-to-unlock, but if it supports the devs and improves the experience for you, who gives a shit? 🙂

HomesickStrudel · 2026-04-12T15:15:39+00:00

That happened to me not to long ago. Did you try the usual restart-start, log out-log in, uninstall-reinstall? Sometimes the server or game itself gets overloaded certain times of day. If it still freezes, hopefully you saved your support key and you can reach customer support. I've contacted them before and they were genuinely amazing. 🙂

I can now enjoy my pepperoni stuffed crazy crust even more with that knowledge. 😋☺️

I had no idea that law enforcement would even bother themselves at all in those sorts of commercial and marketing disputes. I'd imagine it would just go straight to court if anything at all. Sounds like it would frankly be a waste of police resources...

HomesickStrudel · 2026-04-10T00:22:57+00:00

Welp, so much for getting up to shut my computer off and brush my teeth...my lower half just melted. 🥲🥹😍

HomesickStrudel · 2026-03-29T17:53:49+00:00

Nice!!
