Gosh, I'm overwhelmed by your generosity, thank you so much!
My charges are all doing fine so far, and aren't those baby dragons terminally cute!?!
Dragon Cave: Announcement Thread
-

Another Nebula from me: this time it's blue.
-
I could see how she spoilt your lineage, but I thought she was very pretty.
So there are no clues how Nebulas will turn out, it's completely random? -
There is a 50/50 chance, I think.
-
Pretty much, yeah. Influencing with a Pink narrows the options down, but it can still become the one you didn't want.
-
Has someone any ideas if TJ's announcement was a April-fool prank? Or is it a real new feature?
At first i was sooo convienced that i'd be a prank, but now.... -
Well, most users seem to think it's a joke. OTOH, I was astonished to find that dragcave doesn't have a feature like the flowernet compendium, where you can check your progress with different species, breeds and variants. The encyclopedia project sounds a bit like that.

It was an April Fool. A bit of a pointless one, I thought. It was quite obvious when he started the first post as Sock Puppet Strangler with the first 'S' reversed.walkinslow Is that not what DC Wiki does? Or the tools on EatW and Egg Drop Soup? I might be misunderstanding though.
-
actually there was originally a rule that you couldn't tell other people which egg hatched into which dragon... but that was lifted a few years back and the dc wiki took it up. personally i take any news that i receive any day with a grain of salt, and at the time i learned of it, i guessed it was a joke. plus the whole concept of an 'encyclopedia of dragons' has already been done by the wiki.
-
Ok, so i'm back thinking it's a prank!
I was unsure because there was a comment of TJ stating that his entry post wasn't done on April 1st, but on March 31rd at 23.59.Actually a minuite before April.I guess at least he's got me for a moment! -
It would have been April 1st here at that time. Cave time is 5 or 6 hours behind us.
(Although I'm not sure TJ realises there's a whole world out there )
-
I take that back - he's just found out
New release TODAY, 1pm EST, whenever that is.
http://forums.dragcave.net/index.php?show…0&#entry8161409No eggs posted, not sure if he'll edit or start a new thread.
-
I believe it will be in a new thread;)
That's 1a.m. Monday here. I'm not going to be around..
How about you guys? -
I´m pissed. I usually get up short before 6am my time when less US users are around and I haven´t had much problems catching new eggs. I usually get my fill within minutes. But now the release will be at 7pm my time when most US people are online too. This will cause a MASSIVE strain on the site. I expect hundreds of people in the cave and horrible lag... and not much luck with catching.
Also, with getting your eggs that early you have plenty of time afterwards for other things and don´t need to worry anymore.
What irks me even more is the short notice announcement of the change. TJ could have made that a few hours earlier.... and I wouldn´t have gotten up at 5:45am for nothing.I hope this will be a one time thing...
-
Hopefully if he gets enough complaints he'll take notice. 7pm for me too I think, we're on GMT+1 now.
-
I agree with blobber.
*pats idril and passes a chocolate*
But actually if that's a 24 hours drop,it doesn't matter that much, right? You will have enough time to fill your slots;) -
blobber, you´re in the UK. I think it´s 6pm for you.
*munches chocolate* Yes, IF....
-
Hm, I don't understand. Is this supposed to be a one-time drop (like a couple of eggs on the hour, and that'll be it)? I thought new eggs were released over a longer period of time so that everybody could get some.
idril: Now I know how you manage to catch cave-born Ice Dragons. I had been wondering... He's doing fine, BTW (yes, it's a male), and will grow up later tonight.
-
We're on summer time now, it changed last weekend.
Perhaps their time changed too. Sometimes we're 5 hours ahead, sometimes 6. Not sure.
15.06 here now, 16.06 with you, idril? I'll try at 6. -
There was one-time drop before. The biome(s) which new dragon(s) is/are supposed to be in will be filled with new eggs for a few hours(roughly 2hours?) and then the new eggs will be mixed with those already existing ones.
But TJ changed the release schedule last time and made it dropped for a whole day,then, like usual, they were mixed.
Usually monthly releases are common dragons so you will have now problem on getting some "new" eggs. If you don't care about the "stolen time". Some people would like to have the new eggs on the day it is released.
(Hope my explainations are readable and understandable..sorry for my rusty English>.<)
