Posted August 8, 2013 Were the duotones really stubborn to hatch? The ones I forced refuse to grow up right now, so I'm curious. For me-yes. Very much so. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 8, 2013 Were the duotones really stubborn to hatch? The ones I forced refuse to grow up right now, so I'm curious. My first one grew up with 900 views and my second one is at 700 right now and it's close to hatching (it's at 4 Days and 1 Hour atm). Share this post Link to post
Posted August 8, 2013 Did Earthgirl say which opal color was the original and which was the alt?? She did not. But we think the green Opals are the alts, based on: 1. New release picture only has two eggs in it, Duotone and blue Opal 2. TJ's embedded dragons in the first post have the blue Opals before the green 3. (Opinion) Even factoring in the slow-moving forest, the greens seem to drop more rarely Clarification from an official source would be welcome, however. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I finally came up with good names for my Duotones - Harlequin and Jester and Parodist and Satirist. Their coloring reminds me of royalty and of Mardi Gras for some reason, which was inspiration for the first set of names. Edited August 8, 2013 by Wahya Share this post Link to post
Posted August 8, 2013 anyone know what Bioms they are in because usually TJ posts where they can be found too.....so unless they are found in all bioms I would like to know where you can find the eggs too Share this post Link to post

Posted August 8, 2013 Are the new realesed comming every 5 minutes or randomly. Could it also be that the realese time is ower and every biome turned to normal? (I know that those dragons will still be able to be catched but I mean that they don't come up so often anymore) Share this post Link to post

I have been told here several times that alts are ONLY blacks and vines, and that red dorsals - for instance - are just less common versions of purples... Nebbies seem to be equally common now that the initial ratio thing where they all showed up red and green is over. Just saying... I just wish I could get another green opal. (the just released page shows both colours for me, BTW) Share this post Link to post
Posted August 8, 2013 There is no such thing as Alt 2-Headed Lindwurm. >.> They're just 2 different colors that drop in different biomes. Purple was made first. Then I recolored them green. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 8, 2013 Thanks, earthgirl. Does that mean that they are both equally common (or uncommon, as the case may be)? Share this post Link to post

Thanks for that - I suppose we can look at them like the coppers in that their color is based on Biome [Green = better camo in the leaves, Purplish-blue = better camo against water/stone] And darn it - my Green doesn't want to hatch (at least, not for another hour or so) Edited August 8, 2013 by ShorahNagi Share this post Link to post
Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I'd always looked at the Opals as just being a color variation. Is it true that they will fall as the Trio does now? They will be 'Uncommon'? whoopsie that might be against the thread rule - sorry Edited August 8, 2013 by oddsoxdi Share this post Link to post
Posted August 8, 2013 I STILL want to know - is it FACT that opals drop in alpine/ forest and LESS often in coast/jungle - or is that just a rumour ? Share this post Link to post

Nebbies seem to be equally common now that the initial ratio thing where they all showed up red and green is over. Just saying... I just wish I could get another green opal. (the just released page shows both colours for me, BTW) Yeah, I've been wondering where exactly that insistence is coming from. Quote from TJ: I count anything that has sprites other than their "base" sprites as an alt. Dorsals, nebulae, blacks, vines, etc. I mean, I understand if people were saying that it's correct both ways, given that, for instance, earthgirl doesn't consider the Green an alt. But I wonder where it started that it's wrong to consider them alts. Because if TJ does then I think it's fair that people can use whichever term they choose. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 8, 2013 Duotones are in all biomes Blue Opals are in alpine and occasionally coast Green Opals are in forest and occasionally jungle Thanks for keeping it simple. How many people here are like me still hunting for their first egg? All I'm seeing now is people talking about the ones they have. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Thing is, the purple 2-heads were my Halloween submission for last year. ^^ I made the green 'alt' for myself, but since they weren't used as Halloween dragons, I decided to use them both as color variations, if they will eventually get in-cave. Since they drop in different places, I could hardly call them alts. They're more like coppers, than ridgewings or dorsals. But if people want to call them 'alts', I don't mind either way. Their ratios should be the same. Edited August 8, 2013 by earthgirl Share this post Link to post
Posted August 8, 2013 Ugh... I hope the opals don't stay as rare as they seem to be now. If they're always going to be metal-tier, I'll never get a CB, since I missed the first day of the release. Share this post Link to post

Well it's still cool to know why they come in different colors. :3 Yea, I can see how they could be halloween dragons still. Cool to know the back story of dragons. :3 Share this post Link to post

OMG looking at the purple on now with that thought in mine it looks like a perfect Halloween dragon. It's got the exact same coloring you'd see on an old, spooky haunted house. I'm giving all of mine scary names now! Share this post Link to post

Like I'm going to try if my luck doesn't turn, you can always go on the gifting part of the forms and see if anyone will gift you a CB? I might try that if I still can't find any eggs of ether kind by the time this topic closes. Share this post Link to post

Posted August 8, 2013 I wish the greens were as easy ( yeah right) as the blues. I would like to have had a pair of each... but if they are going to be like red dorsals, I guess that WILL happen. Eventually.... I still want to know if it is OFFICIAL that the coast/jungle drops are rarer... Share this post Link to post
