Update Preview
Today I am pleased to announce ten upcoming changes to DC. Changes that I think everyone will enjoy.

Action Log


Now you can keep track of almost all of the activity on your scroll. Forgot what you influenced your egg? Wondering whether or not your egg was incubated? Just check the actions log to find out.

Trade UI Updates


When viewing a transfer or trade, you'll be able to easily view the egg's or hatchling's lineage and access its info.

Quick-sorting and filtering


Having hundreds of dragons and trying to find a purple available for fertility can be frustrating. Not anymore; just select the "Available for BSA" filter and only your BSA dragons that are off-cooldown will be shown.

Social media buttons (optional)




For those of you that use Google Plus, Facebook, or Twitter, now you can share your dragons (or your entire scroll) with your friends in order to get views. Don't use social networks? No need to complain, the buttons can be hidden.

Breeding List Updates


Rather than hiding rejected pairs from breeding lists (A feature introduced a little over a year ago), rejected pairs will drop to the bottom of the breeding list, preventing the mass confusion that occurs when you can't find the dragon you're looking for. In addition, pairs that breed but don't produce eggs will be counted as "successful" for sorting purposes, causing them to move higher on the breeding list.

Transfer confirmations.


No longer will a claimed transfer appear as "There does not appear to be any trade with the provided claim ID." Instead, if the transfer previously existed, the site will tell you. If you visit the page of a transfer you've claimed, the site will display a more personalized message to let you know (and to prevent confusion if someone accidentally refreshes when claiming).

Mobile Redesign


Users of Android, IOS, or Windows Phone 7 devices should enjoy a smoother experience with a redesigned interface that aims to provide a near-native experience. In the future, look for a Google Play "app" that will Android users with access to this same mobile site without going through your browser.

Summon Scaling


Rather than relying purely on random chance, the likelihood of summoning a Legendary egg now increases with the number of complete sets of the Legendary Trio dragons that you have. If your style of play doesn't allow you to have multiple sets, don't worry; the base chance has been slightly increased as well.

Geode Tweaks

Geode Dragons can now be bred with other dragons to produce Geode eggs. This greatly opens up the possibilities for obtaining Geode eggs, as well as the options for cool lineages.

New Skins


Four new skins will become available soon as well. The first is a variant of the Portal 2 skin called Portal 2 Light. This skin is my personal favorite, and the one I've been using for several months now.

The second, Blackout, was first seen during the anti-SOPA Internet Blackout Day. The skin has been refined and is now ready for mass consumption (Unfortunately, it requires a relatively powerful computer for smooth performance).

The third skin is a re-imagining of the "scroll" metaphor used in the current layout, but set in more modern times.

And the final skin is, well, a mystery. I can't be revealing everything in advance.


Timeframe

These updates will arrive within the next two weeks. That's right. Not "this holiday season." Not months down the road. Two weeks. Brace yourselves. (More information will be posted as the release gets closer).
