2016-09-25 - September Release

Recommended Posts

Monarchs:

I like it that we have another breed that clearly has muscles. The brown reminds me of leaves on the ground in autumn. On one hand they are soo cute and i want to hug them on the other hand they are wild beasts like a wolf and you really don't want to be near a wolf and hug him, out there in the wilderness.

 

Diamondwings:

This a pinkish/mangenta tone that i like and their behavior to hoard every shiny thing that they can grab... Hooray, so dragonish (or however you say it in English). Now i whish that we will have another decorative event to create a hoard... (Dreaming of piles of gold and glass and whatever is shiny in the sun.) I am glad that we have soo many blue toned dragons and the Arias and now i will go to breeding plans. smile.gif

22h till my pair/each grow up, I can't wait to breed them for the first time (and omg, plz no refusals:( it's not that I don't have spares but still, it's a pointless part of DC causing nothing but worries and frustration)smile.gif

 

 

But dammit, the last release till March:( that's always depressing...

Psst, use a Purple on one of the dragons.

 

The tail of the stage 2 hatchlings of the Monarchs reminds me of a brown oak leaf. Am i the only one?

And Valentine...

AND possible surprise releases even if they're improbable... (like the Trihorn release that happened on Black Friday, and Nhios as a late-November release)

 

I'm just glad we had a nice release with not too many breeds so my lineage breeding doesn't get interrupted too much wink.gif

I know, but still, it doesn't remove it completely^^; I'm glad Purples got this perk of reducing the refusal 'chance' though!

 

Nope, I've seen someone else mentioning the same association:P

Why wouldn't there be a release in november and january? Just make them like this a nice one or two dragon breed release that still is common in the biomes several days after the initial flood

November - because Hallowee'n is on 31st October which is almost November and the ASP is still full of holiday eggs for a while after that; January - because the Christmas release is on 25th December _with frantic breeding the week before and everyone crawling the AP for days) and the event runs for a while - I seem to think it was even a full 2 weeks once, but I could easily be wrong) and people are involved with that and also - it's quite nice for TJ to have a bit of Christmas time, I think...

 

We HAVE had a Black Friday release, once, I think ? - but don't count on that.

The Monarch dragons are gorgeous, and I already commented on how much I adore the Diamonds. This has been a great release!

November and January are the most boring and idling periods on DC...

 

with the releases coming by the end of the month like recently, November release is allright - it's about a month after Halloween, and the most late-coming Halloween dragons grow up by 14th, now with Bolt BSA it's max 16th, if the release was anytime after 16th, it would be when literally nobody has anything growing from Halloween events... And it would still be a month before Christmas release, and about 3weeks before the Christmas events, while, again, 16days is the very MAXIMUM time a dragon can possibly not be grown up yet for...

Even easier with the January - we have only 2 eggs of the new breed because of the uber low CB limit... with another so limited dragon for Valentines, a release on the weekend closest to January 15th-20th or so would be perfect - again, 16days periods in between the January release and the tiny holiday ones.

 

I can't see why you wouldn't have enough time to deal with November and January releases alongside the holiday events... there's PLENTY of time inbetween for these 2 releases... Also noone is forced to grab the new eggs immediately after they're released, one can catch or trade for these anytime later anyway, if one prefers to have these months without catching new breeds... if these were due to be commons or from the tiny breeding groups(pygmies, 2-headeds, DC drakes), even better - easy-peasy to catch up a few months later after all the holidays.

 

So 1-2 new breeds should be good for November and January, there would be a month of nothing for both either before and after the release. This current space of 2 months between the holidays should be filled... in fact all the reasons against releases there I've ever heard of, are not really there if you think about it...

I wish the diamonds had dimorphism.

I do too. These dragons are sure nice, though. Thanks everyone.

So do I, I like dimorphic breeds.

But the sprite is pretty.

I rather like that some breeds do not have dimorphism. It is nice to be able to breed some mirror lineages that actually match on both sides. wink.gif

 

@ VixenDra - I really agree with you on that, but I don't think this is the right place to discuss it. It will probably be considered off topic here.

I understand the initial discussion about the lack of releases with the event months coming up since TJ mentioned it in his initial post, but going into it here with this much discussion will derail the thread. Please move this discussion to the Cave Feedback thread if you want to continue it.

Ooh, I love the reasoning behind the Monarchs' migration! And they're so gorgeous. I love the muscle definition in the Diamondwings too, the wings and neck in particular look great.

I will have one adult in a bit less than 12 hours now. The rest will be quite a lot later since I was caught with a full scroll for the release. I can't wait to see them on my scroll. They are such lovely creatures!

I wish they used one sprite for the Monarch...I love the dark color on the male more than the pale color on the female...unless she's meant to represent the white monarch.

 

This reminds me of my days in elementary school. I used to stalk a field looking for butterflies.

Was anyone else thinking Diamondwings would be really rare? so far they seem to be relatively easy to pick up. happy.gif

 

Which I'm glad of, since I have a plan to make a lineage of a certain songs lyrics, which has already begun. biggrin.gif

Even if diamondwings did contain actual diamonds, diamonds are one of the most common gemstones out there. That was my rationale.

Finally caught six eggs of each one. I accidentally mistook the Monarch hatchlings for Diamondwings because their colors match the Diamondwing eggs. laugh.gif Thank you Odeen and Infinis!
