Posted October 31, 2010 well the cave went down for a few seconds for me...laaaag Share this post Link to post
Posted October 31, 2010 Hoo, glad I waited till after hunting to check the forums. There's a lot of negativity in here tonight. None of my would-be deadites zombified, and no luck in Pumpkin hunting, but I got a pair of the new eggs (no images, no javascript, and waited till page visitors dropped below 300), so hopefully I can swap someone for a Pumpkin next year.

Posted October 31, 2010 I'll influence once the lag calms down. Good luck to everyone still hunting ^^ I almost forgot to do that! Thanks for the reminder Share this post Link to post
Posted October 31, 2010 Yeah for server time out. It must be Halloween Even with image loading turned off, I get server time out I can live without the new Halloween egg but I still have to catch soooo many treats. Can't get them when the site is not loading Share this post Link to post
Posted October 31, 2010 I didn't realies that tombstones (failed zombie attempts) still counted as hatchlings. Which means I only have 1 slot left for a Halloween egg. Fingers crossed I manage to get one. Share this post Link to post

Posted October 31, 2010 Nearly 3 dozen eggs caught tonight o3O (or maybe over 3 dozen, I kinda lost track) It's 4 AM, so I need to stop catching and get some sleep, but I thought I'd post the technique I use to catch in this lag. Hope it helps someone out! Step 1: Disable Javascript and images This makes the Cave load much faster-- also you can click the egg link anytime, without having to wait for the little egg sprite to appear. I use Chrome, since I have found that to be the fastest, but instructions for disabling Javascript and images in browsers is easily available via Google search. Turning off images in IE, FF, Chrome, or Safari, turning off Javascript in IE, turning off Javascript in FF, turning off Javascript in Chrome Also, try to close as many programs on your computer as possible, and limit the number of tabs that are open as well. You need as much CPU as you can get. Step 2: Reload the page by clicking the top banner. DO: Click the top right of the upper, largest banner DO: Immediately then move your mouse to the far-right egg slot DON'T: Click "Logout" instead >.< DON'T: Go all the way over to the little "Cave" banner. The large banner is much closer. DON'T: Use F5. I don't know why, but that always just gives me WSOD. Step 3: Hover and watch. While the Cave tries to load, hover over that far right egg, and INTENTLY watch the little loading wheel on your browser. In Chrome, that wheel moves backwards until the page actually begins to load; I don't remember what it does in other browsers but it's probably similar. Also, hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard. This will make the "Get" page open in a new tab when you click, leaving the main page available to immediately reload and try for another egg. Step 4: CLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK THE VERY INSTANT that the little wheel stops spinning backwards (or whatever it does to signify lag in your browser) and does ANYTHING ELSE, click. It might start spinning forward, or it might just suddenly change to the egg icon. Either way, with images and Javascript off that wheel should be the ONLY THING on the page that visibly changes, so it's your only cue. Reflex is key. Also, make sure you're still holding down the CTRL key. Step 5: Repeat. Don't worry about checking to see if you got anything-- as soon as you've clicked, get your mouse back up to that banner and start again. Get yourself into a click-hover-watch-CLICK-click-hover groove. Once you have a ton of tabs open (or the Cave empties, whichever is first), you can go through those tabs and see if you got anything. Good luck, fellow DCers! Reposting one last time before I head to bed. Just caught two more for someone,but really need sleep now. :3 Share this post Link to post

Posted October 31, 2010 sadfkjsakdfhk!!! I got the 4 eggs!! TPishek, I love you. You're amazing. Sure, I have the image of a grey worm constantly moving anti-clockwise in circles superimposed on my brain, but I got the eggs. =3 Now I want to breed last year's pumpkins... should I just going to go ahead and breed the two of them together?
