It doesn't really make any sense not to be working on more dragons. People are hardly going to be kept interested in this mod for very long if fire and ice are all it's gonna cover. Nowadays, a bit of a higher standard exists for stuff like this, especially with movies around like How To Train Your Dragon. Even from a coding aspect, aside from modeling perhaps, adding more dragons would be incredibly simple.

We aren't adding in more elemental dragons. Now stop whining about it and grin and bear it, as it won't happen. Ever.
It's their mod and lots of people are fine with what they are doing. Before you talk down about the mod think of how many other good dragon mods are out.

Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — "No, you move
I'd prefer 1.8 as well. Most current mods have not been updated past 1.8 and never will be and many 7.10 mods are in the process of being updated to 1.8.

Well the problem with the HtTYD Mod (At least that I see) is that it's a very ambitious project with large fan base wanting it to be done, whilst on the other end of the spectrum there may not be many people whom have the amount of experience with codding and or modeling (Or may not meet the criteria set by the main modding team), along with time restraints. People may have jobs, college, etc, while modding may be a hobby there is a lot to think about and plan for as the idea goes on and on. The HtTYD Mod while is a nice idea it will take much more time to where the mod is for a better lack of words "Desirable " in terms of looks and functionality. (I'm not saying that in anyway the creators of the HtTYD Mod are doing a horrible job I'm just saying they might have taken on a larger project than they can handle, especially with such a small team) Granted I'd LOVE to help out If I had a decent Idea of how coding for animation worked but sadly I don't and nor do I have time to indulge in the task of it.
Modeling new dragons is easier then coding new dragons. In this mod Dragons are represented as two closely related genus's with colour variatons within each species. This mod does not plan on introducing the same level of dracanoid body diversity as how to train your dragon. As this is not the ambition of this mod. The aim of this mod is to perfect the current dragons we have planned. Providing a mob that gives people the experience of a mesh of game of thrones, skyrim and the hobbit. So sorry you are not going to see gecko sized wind dragons or bolder shaped rock dragons.

I kinda understand where you're coming from not adding more dragons. Although, I've messed around with other mods, both 1.7 and 1.8, and have been able to add more breeds of their mobs without much difficulty. And that was when I had almost no knowledge of Java.
Ultimately, you're the authors and it's up to you what this mod ends up like. However, I'd encourage you to write the breed classes in a way that, if desired, the user could create their own dragons with unique attributes. The key part of this of course would be, as you said, to perfect the current dragons, but also the coding for their base class.
I apologize if any of my posts came across as overly critical though. That wasn't ever my intent. I respect you guys and look forward to your mod's release. The unyieldingness in your replies to me also make me think you guys probably know what you're doing. It's just, I have seen too many mods that seemed to have lot of potential end up being total trainwrecks. You seem to have it pretty well figured out though.
Best of luck to you.
Can't wait for the release.
Someone should make an addon for this mod that adds other elemental Dragons for the fans of the mod. Personally If someone does make and addon, I want Dark and Light Dragons.

Admittedly I was not expecting that results....it can't be right, I for one have to much a hero complex for that to be right and two: I am one of the most Pessimistic people around.....yea I have no idea how I got Mew.....
Now I got it, this is the Pokemon I would be. And I am not just saying that because I like Mewtwo, I really am a lot like Mewtwo.
Love the banner <3
This mod looks super cool, once the download comes out I'll definitely be using it in a lot of videos

This will be out for 1.8 or 1.8.9 ?

1.8 I believe, and hopefully I'm right cuz my other dragon mod I have is for 1.8
I'd prefer 1.8 as well. Most current mods have not been updated past 1.8 and never will be and many 7.10 mods are in the process of being updated to 1.8.
Edit: What I mean is that I like mixing mods.
