Posted October 31, 2010 Since the site has a data base error will TJ extend the drop into November 1st to even out the chances for everyone? That's only a day's difference. ene I'd day Nov. 3 is more fair. I've heard Christmas drops went on for 5 days. Share this post Link to post

Posted October 31, 2010 well, besides myself, I've caught for 4 people with success. I need to go to bed. Hopefully when I get up the lag will be bearable and TJ will have fixed the connection/database error/drop issues. Thank goodness it's Sunday and he doesn't have school Share this post Link to post

Posted October 31, 2010 ok guys, i just caught one after following this guide from whoever posted it (sorry can't remember) i have an old cruddy POS computer that's pretty much on it's last legs, and VERY cranky about when it's going to run 1/2 wat smooth or just completely bork up; the worlds worst hand-eye coordination; have been sick as a dog with bronchitis for a month, am sleep deprived AND and on a ton of woozey groggy-inducing meds....if i can catch one, then seriously, ANYONE can. try it- can't hurt, might help. good luck everyone & happy halloween! yeah, seems like it'd be a lot smoother that way *sigh* It would be nice if you could repost the guide or a link to it.

Posted October 31, 2010 Great, 5 times the killed dragon just disintegrated and now the lags makes egg-hunt impossible. As if there were any eggs... You attempt to revive the dragon using magic, but something goes wrong and instead it becomes a zombie. Hatchie and adult Mint. And that's all folks! Share this post Link to post
Posted October 31, 2010 I'm sure TJ is working like a madman on the lag. He always seems to be busy with the em-betterment of the cave, blessim. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 31, 2010 Need help... do you need to regenerate the killed dragons in order to get the zombie dragon? Thanks and there are no eggs at this hour drop Share this post Link to post

Posted October 31, 2010 I'm sure TJ is working like a madman on the lag. He always seems to be busy with the em-betterment of the cave, blessim. Ooor he could be sleeping, like a normal person. It's still quite early for him I think. 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! I think this is the post. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 31, 2010 Ooor he could be sleeping, like a normal person. It's still quite early for him I think. This would be my guess - and I wouldn't blame him! Share this post Link to post
Posted October 31, 2010 Need help... do you need to regenerate the killed dragons in order to get the zombie dragon? Thanks and there are no eggs at this hour drop Yes, you must revive it. Share this post Link to post
