Dragon Cave: Announcement Thread

  • Just got another moist egg, they were just lying around in the cave.... Well, next time, I'll know there's no need to rush! But I was confused by some forum posts that claimed the new eggs would only drop for an hour or so. :/

    blobber: Those hatchlings look great! Where did you find the images?

    Edit:
    @Mia: I had completely overlooked your earlier posting, so sorry! Thanks for the explanation!

  • The fact that there's three of each, and the hatchlings all look the same, indicates that at least with both of these variants, there is adult dimorphism. I always prefer when the adults are dimorphic; it's easier for me to sort my dragons, because you can tell at a glance if it's male or female. :)

    Oh, and the blue ones ARE pretty. I'll wait until the others are adults before I pass judgement. :)

    Edit: Both variants are still showing up fairly frequently in the caves. I found the same thing with the last few new variants. Either they are very common, or he's now making newer variants drop more often for a while. I have six more of the blue ones already. :) If anyone has a terrible connection and needs one or two, let me know and after cool-down I can send you a trade. (Just trade me a random AP egg so I'll know you get it and it won't go to someone random that I don't know.)

  • On the DC forum, TJ announced three upcoming events today:

    Yep, Easter is next Sunday (April 20). The yearly Festival of Eggs will be making a comeback. Look for a news thread this weekend.

    There will be two events coming up in May:

    The first, on Saturday, May 03, 2014, is the May release. It will occur at 1 PM EST. This is a refinement from this month's experiment--note the change from Sunday to Saturday.

    The second is DC's birthday (May 21), which falls on a Wednesday this year. The event will begin at midnight EST (that is, the time after 11:59:59 on May 20), and details will be announced at that time.

    On forum hiatus due to new job (but I'm still playing), may still be found on Dragon Cave forum.

  • Thank you.
    Not sure I'll bother with the Festival of eggs this year. Maybe get one or two just to get the badge. It's pretty time consuming and a bit pointless.

    Can't remember them doing a birthday thing before.

  • I most likely won't be online on the 20th but I already have the easter basket badge anyway.

    Last year we got 7 new dragons for DC's 7th birthday, but I doubt there will be 8 dragons this year. :D There used to be a new dragon release for each birthday but we didn't have regular releases then, so it might be something else this year... who knows?

  • So, instead of getting up at 6am on Sunday for a new release, I just have to be home at 7pm on Saturday.


    I hope we don`t get a mass release like last birthday. I`m still struggling with getting all the coppers...

  • Oh, i remember the birthday release was pure crazyness... :S
    I had to go on a trip for two days and because i didn't wanted to miss out the dragons from that day i made some CRAZY IOU deals with some nice players.Like: i give you xx hatchies of day 1 and 2 if you give me xx hatchies of day 4 and 5 or something like that...I'm happy it worked quite well, because the dragons i would have missed would have been the Coppers...and so i got at least one pair of each colour!

    Meanwhile i got a few more, unless the green ones where i still miss one to have a second breeding pair.But i'm content. :saint:

    So the DC birthday was really exciting! I'm curious what will be this time!

  • Oh, do you think the Festival of Eggs is pointless? I had a look at some collections and thought the eggs looked really nice. But I have no idea how or where they can be found.

    Dragon mass release sounds rather stressful, I don't think I'm cut out for that kind of hunt...

  • "But I have no idea how or where they can be found."
    They pop up every 5-15 minutes roughly, on whatever page you are on in the cave. The same one keeps popping up over and over until you take it. It takes a lot of time to get them all, assuming you can get 4-6 eggs an hour at that rate. I think they continue for several days so you should have time to collect them all even if you have to be away from the cave for a long period of time for work, sleep, school, etc
