But what about the players who don't visit the forums? Or, like myself, who only visit the forums sporadically?

Same way they find out about new egg releases, and holiday breeding times.

 

Sure, some things are less obvious, like the new limits, and rare v rare breeding, but the biomes change should clue them in that something big is happening, and then they can head over here to find out. They don't even need an account on the forums to see the forums.

TJ probably just wants to torture us and see how long it takes us to go mad/crazy. xd.png

*Goes crazy*

Do we get the stuff now?

 

I love the banners! I need more room in my siggy...

As a new player I would be VERY unhappy with such a change. It is hard enough as it is to try and get hold of "goodies" - if eggs and hatchlings can be traded completely without restriction outside the AP, then newbies would have an even harder time "catching up"

That's part of the joy of DC, you start it on your own, or get gifted stuff, these 'goodies' you should earn. And honestly, it wouldn't make that much of a difference in the first place.

So amazing I've been waiting for this since I first joined almost two years ago!!

I'd also like to make it a point that the only reason I don't gift more is because I'm too afraid that the newbies will miss the egg I'm gifting (especially if it's a rare). With teleport, I'll be much more open to gifting rares and uncommons smile.gif

Something tells me that if TJ makes us wait much longer it's going to turn into magikarp madness 2 blink.gif

THIS.

Just the severity of the win from that day and the mighty efforts of Kip's rescue team went down in smoke...when Kip said he didn't need saving.... brings the nods and giggles out. xd.png

=O *gapes*

 

Wow. I've been off the forums for a while (RL is draaaaaging me down), and I come back and see this? Wow. Just...wow.

 

I can't wait for all this! You guys, we're going to see some EPIC changes. I now have an idea what people who were here before the BSAs and suchlike must feel like. How awesome! Thanks for the heads-up, TJ!

This is going to be mad when all the updates are actually put into place. But, I have a feeling it will be totally worth it.

Well it's hardly as if the people who don't use the forums will see a news message. I suppose TJ could make an announcement in the actual Cave, but I don't think he's ever done that before.

 

It only takes a few minutes to check the discussion for signs of multiple locked threads with the same titles tongue.gif

Didn't he make an announcement in the Cave a few days before the huge downtime when a bunch of dimorphism and Summon was added, and the egg sprites changed? I seem to remember that.

 

I can't wait for all the 'OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAVE?!?' threads all over the place. >_>;

Oh, this is going to be so joy! When all this happens, and I get my exams and stuff done, I can go back and take care of all those poor Coconuts I dropped. It's going to make my life as a gifter SO much easier!

I'm hoping these really great changes don't give TJ more headaches... each time there is a change (and I REALLY like the upcoming ones...) made to the site, there seem to be a spate of crashes. Not sure if it is because of the heavier traffic as people flock back to their scrolls to either pick up new releases or try out their new BSAs, or because of the additional layer of code necessary to make the changes, or something completely different, there seems to be a time period in which TJ and the mods have to deal with some site instability. For all of these improvements that are being made to this game that we all love, we are going to have to tolerant and supportive of our administrators as they work out the kinks. This may include mysterious losses of dragons/egg/etc, site downtime, and other unpredictable side effects. Don't be in a hurry, folks. This stuff is going to take time to implement, and when it kicks in, things won't be perfect right away.

Be patient!

Even though I'm super excited for the new features I'll try to keep this in mind.

 

I think a lot of people are expecting these to be perfectly coded when they are rolled out. Setting unrealistically high expectations will lead to a lot of complaining once kinks start popping up.

Having a DC player be patient is like having a dragon not eat you when you poke it.

It'll never happen. |D

The only refusals that won't show up are permanent refusals. No breeding pairs should be broken by the change.
