Posted January 24, 2012 Would it be allowed to start a Second-Generation Gifting Thread for the new dragons once this current batch grows up? It seems like a lot of people can't catch them and I think that would be the perfect way of fixing that problem. :3 I hope so! I'm actually kinda excited about gifting these. It seems a bunch of people can't get shimmers, and I think it would be fun to breed some for people. Share this post Link to post

Posted January 24, 2012 I really just gave up on the 5 minute drops. If there are 200+ people and 1 egg drops, chances are it won't be you who gets it. I filled myself up with 3 shimmers and 2 moonshines. I'm really excited to see these guys grow up!! Share this post Link to post
Posted January 24, 2012 I'm really close to saying: "That is so rude and ... ugh... what's the word... exaggerated!" (sorry in case I picked the wrong word... what I mean is "uebertrieben" in german!) Point at me and laugh if you want. But betcha I'm not the only one. What is rude or exaggerated? I hope you don't mean this about catching the eggs as this is ment to be a challenge and fun. Also I'm thinking those words might be the wrong ones but depends on what you are talking about. I took german for 4 years in High school and 2 years in College. ( that was 14 years ago) I can still understand it a bit but I am not fluent. Don't get frustrated as life is to short. Instead be happy that there is a release of new dragons and maybe just maybe someone might glomp you a gift or if you ask nice somewhere. You might get one. Don't worry this dragon seems to be staying a little while longer. There is no end date that TJ gave so don't get frustrated. It will all work out. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 24, 2012 Yes, I've stopped the 5 min madness too. I sure hope the 4 o'clock will be a nice long drop. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 24, 2012 Want but can't get, sigh. They look awesome tho! Share this post Link to post
Posted January 24, 2012 What makes them so special, indeed? Maybe the fact that it's day two, I've been on for 4 big drops by now (which happen to be gone within little more than 2 darn minutes by now) and still don't have a single new egg? Seriously, if that's going to go on for much longer, I don't know what I'll do. Share this post Link to post

Posted January 24, 2012 i grabbed the gold one yesterday and just managed one blue at the 4 drop i think the problem stems from it only being available in the alpine? Share this post Link to post
Posted January 24, 2012 I'm usually pretty good at catching, but I'm sucking at it this time around. The cave is lagging a lot for me, I'm not sure if it's a site-wide problem or if it's my computer but, le sigh. I shall try again in an hour. Are these just going to be a one day drop, does anyone know? Share this post Link to post
Posted January 24, 2012 We've been told that they may keep dropping til the ratios do their thing. I just keep remembering the Trio. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 24, 2012 Hurrah!!! Finally got that second gold egg! Now, to tenderly care for the eggs until they hatch -- and if eggs are still dropping after that, I shall gather and gift! (If not, I guess I'll *breed* and gift!) Share this post Link to post
Posted January 24, 2012 The on the five minute drops? I want to hear from someone who's been successful with them. I flounder and miss every time. The two minute drops are hectic as well but, at least, I've been able to catch eggs then. But I can tell my blood pressure is off the charts by the amount of adrenaline that shoots through my body in those two minutes. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 24, 2012 I'm trying all my "holiday" and "mass drop" tricks, but keep coming up with Goose Eggs instead of Dragon egg That last drop was cool, though. One Shimmer and one Paper! Share this post Link to post

I've tried for hours and hours and I can NOT catch anything on the short drops, even though I can see the eggs and click them. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) @Xocowolf: Hey way to go! I must've gotten your share of the goose eggs then! ETA:@Xocowolf: Sorry I misread your post to mean that you had snagged a Simmer and a Paper. If you meant you just SAW a Shimmer and a Paper and still missed everything you have my sympathies.

Hang in there all will be right the drops that happen at the 5 min marks have always been fast and furious lol. The 30 and the 00 are the best times to get the eggs those times seem a bit longer. Before you know it you will be all full of pretty shiney eggs! Have a great one! Share this post Link to post
Posted January 24, 2012 4 of the 7 new eggs I caught were on the 5 minute drops so I guess I just got lucky. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 24, 2012 Way to go — what? I tossed four commons to the AP to catch these guys and I'm still 0 for 0. *Le sigh* Waiting for the 30 drop… Share this post Link to post

But that was during the initial midnight drops, so... Share this post Link to post
Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) 4 of the 7 new eggs I caught were on the 5 minute drops so I guess I just got lucky. Whoooooa. Impressive! Oh, it's such a long wait until the hatchies are grown! I want to see the adults SO badly! *that sense that the blue-and-silver moonlight may become a favorite of mine just keeps growing and growing...* EDIT: You know, I think maybe 2 of my blues were caught during a looong drop yesterday evening at :35 - :42 past the hour. And then I got overconfident, because it took me aaaaages of clicking and not sleeping to get the others. Edited January 24, 2012 by Kelkelen Share this post Link to post
Posted January 24, 2012 4 of the 7 new eggs I caught were on the 5 minute drops so I guess I just got lucky. Two or three of mine were too Share this post Link to post
Posted January 24, 2012 I got lucky and was able to catch two of each. *gulps and breaths* Not exactly easy. I got two gold shimmers and one midnight first. A day later I got my other midnight. Once these are grown up I'm going to make an effort to grab more to gift if I'm successful at grabbing. *crosses her fingers* *sighs* If I can't...I'll see if I can breed em. But a little bit after my college schedule gets settled...Oy... I wish the best of luck for those that are still out there trying to catch them. Congrats to those lucky enough, quick enough to catch the ones they got. Share this post Link to post
