I came here to see if other people were having the page not found error with the cookie decorating. I'm pretty bummed it's not working as that was the only one I actually wanted to play. Glad it's not just me though.

These are beautiful, the lore is excellent, but they don't feel like Halloweens to me. I'd have loved them as a regular release but I guess I like something a little more overtly holiday-like with my holidays. I felt the same way about pitfires before the exalted ones were revealed. Maybe they'll grow on me though. That happens sometimes.

God that's the worst lag I've seen in a long time. Gonna sit this one out and come back to hunt eggs in the morning. Hopefully it'll be easier then.

I started with 10 energy, but when I woke up today I had 100. Took out every weed in the field. So it definitely goes higher than 10, but I still think the recharge is too slow. I have stuff that needs tending, I want to do it now while I have time, but I can't because of the energy meter. Frustrating.

Same here, I'm hunting pitfires by searching for brown eggs and I keep tripping over caligenes instead.

I'm on Firefox and wasn't getting the banner image at first, but it's there now and HOO BOY that is SO COOL.

Honestly one of the colors being tied to teleport is dismaying. I rarely trade so getting those ones is going to mean a major alteration in my play style unless I want to abandon my goal of 10 CB of every dragon. I can handle having to influence, precog, and incubate in a certain order, but since teleporting erases influence on eggs and it's the last action performed that determines the color, doesn't this make orange ones effectively unable to be influenced? You'd influence and get whichever color that makes, then teleport to get orange but that erases the influence, and if the person who received it influences it it would no longer hatch orange. If that's how it works, you'd have to precog, hope for the gender you want, then teleport, and if it's not the gender you want you're just out of luck. And that is...not something I like.

I tried two guardian x pink pairs. One pink, one guardian. Bred myself a pair from guardian x rc, then kept going till I ran out of crimsons, trying to send some to the AP. Ten new pairs, four refusals. No fertility but that seems like an awfully high fail rate.

I too would like more colors and shapes of sprinkles. I made a tree cookie and I had nothing to put on the top. Finally finished the last of my holiday breeding, and fished a wrapping wing egg I actually needed out of the AP, so I'm calling it a success.

I caught one! Influence says Unavailable for Breed. @ValidEmotions That's mostly true, but hollies and mistletoes can be influenced so it's worth checking if there are more exceptions.

Yay! Happy holidays all around! First priority for me is some messy wintertides to freeze (and another solstice, but I caught that already), but as always with the most recent holidays, they're elusive and I'm saving mine for lineage breedings later in the season.

The influencing problem is exactly why I don't plan to breed most of mine this year. I have about 200 breedable Halloweens, CB or nice lineages, and I've only bred about 20 of them. And I only bred those because everything I pulled from the AP was messy. The walls are definitely getting worse every year; I think last year's lasted a week into November and I shudder to think what this one's going to be like.

Everything I'm pulling out of the AP right now still has a "Laid On" date of the 25th, the first day of the event. Cave time has rolled over to a new day about an hour and a half ago; anything bred now will say October 29th. I haven't followed this closely in past years and I know there's always a backlog, but it seems like in past years the first day's eggs didn't stick around the AP for four solid days.

Finally finished the game and got my badge. The museum part was pretty cool in the end and the badge is cute but I am not a fan of the puzzles. I'm almost done with the treat collecting too. I have 87/94 for 2010's treats. So close! Will definitely get them all by the end of the day. Catching and breeding old lineages, though, that's another story. Not doing so well on that front.

Halfway done with the 2010 treats. Man, there were a lot that year. I hope we get this chance again with the Festival of Eggs, I'm missing two years of that. I got to the part in the game where you have to solve the puzzles a second time and I just quit. I didn't enjoy them the first time and I don't want to do them again. If I do it now it's just for the event badge and not any enjoyment of the actual game. I appreciate all the effort that went into it but it's just not fun for me at this point.

That wasn't the issue, but maybe it will help someone else. I got through it eventually, just the timing was much trickier than I expected and the guard blocking me had an annoyingly long path. On a totally unrelated note, Biscuits is adorable and I love them.

I seem to be stuck in the labyrinth. There's one guard that just like. Never leaves the corridor I need? And there's no side tunnels to hide in? I've checked all the other routes and they're all dead ends, it has to be this one but that one guard is unavoidable apparently.

I got all the new treats this morning. Now for the race to see if I can get all the 2010 treats, the only year I missed because I hadn't joined DC yet. According to the wiki there were 94 of them that year. So far I have...7

OH HECK YES OLD TRICK OR TREATS

For once I have no irreplaceable eggs on my scroll for a release. So this is what freedom tastes like

I absolutely love both of these so much. The skystriders look so smooth, I want to touch them.

Had to toss some hatchies to do it but I caught my two pairs. I hope these end up common, I'm too locked to catch any more until tomorrow. Starry ones look particularly promising.

I'm glad I didn't do a breeding spree on Thursday night like I thought about doing, otherwise I'd be too locked to hunt right now. I caught two pairs of each new breed fairly easily, which is nice after the hell that was the staterae release. I'm excited for these, I love drakes and the egg for the starry one is really pretty.

Holy it's HUGE. And I LOVE IT.

Hours of hunting later and I have at least one of everything except the flow egg. Gonna have to try again tomorrow on that one.
