Posted October 31, 2012 Did you have a bucket for the original event? I think that may be playing a part, because my daughter only got 13 treats from the last event, and every treat from this one, and still has a mostly empty one. Its the only logical guess i have for this. Windnose: 35. You must be right, it's the only solution that makes sense. Pity I missed that 2010 Halloween then. Oh well, maybe next year my bucket will be full. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 31, 2012 Thanks for the responses. My 34th item is the sandwich. Can someone please tell me where the 2nd new item is? ETA: I did have all the items until TJ added these two new ones. Whoa--wait. Two new items? In Aliset? Where? Share this post Link to post
Posted October 31, 2012 Wow, 2 new items..that's a shocker! * Goes to go look for the new items* Share this post Link to post
Posted October 31, 2012 Whoa--wait. Two new items? In Aliset? Where? There was only one new item added to Aliset. Originally Aliset had 34 and TJ added one more for 35. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 31, 2012 While I have very much enjoyed this event, I can't help but feel like the atmosphere has been. Well. Flattened? Meh, maybe I'll feel better once the drop begins, but we can't always get what we want. Until then, thank you everyone for the ToT, Aliset Adventure and the Dress Up. I also managed to obtain my first zombies, so very happy. Thank you again, and on with the Saturday drop. Share this post Link to post

I am living alone in a foreign country and basically this Halloween thing is what kept me going for the last few weeks, the anticipation, the planning... With this anticlimactic ending I feel completely lost. I have spent the day blobbing not knowing what to do. I wish I could see my family or my friends but I can't so I was counting on this celebration to be the next best thing. I'm not resentful or angry or anything, it's just a really weird feeling... Thuban you probably thought I was complaining earlier and I'm sorry about that. I don't really know what I'm trying to say here. I guess I needed to get it out. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) How do you get the new Aliset item? Update: Aliset: apparently not completed Shadow Walkers: Got em! Marrows:Got em!

Posted October 31, 2012 The only thing that has occurred to me in all this is, would the egg drop have been delayed if the Frankenstorm was happening anywhere else in the world, like Japan or Madagascar or something? DC has users worldwide, and the community here is absolutely amazing about helping anyone suffering real-life problems that get in the way of a special event. While the people without internet due to the storm may not have been able to hoard a half dozen eggs each or more, they certainly would have been able to get at least a couple due to others' aid. Having considered that, I'd rather not get upset about it. So I've decided to look at this change of events with the following perspective: 1 - Maybe TJ delayed it because he felt that he personally wouldn't be able to babysit the new egg drop and fix glitches on the fly today, due to however the storm is affecting his personal life and loved ones. So he chose to focus on RL today and be there for the people who need him, and be able to focus completely on the new egg release when it happens. 2 - And/or, maybe he was worried about the DC servers going down mid-drop due to the storm. I seem to recall that they were located in its area of effect. It could potentially cause huuuuge problems for the server/s to go down for several hours during a single-day release; so, much better to reschedule for when they are certain to be okay. 3 - More time for me to make sure I have free egg slots! Has this whole chain of events caused inconvenience to me? Yeah, it has. I spam-bred my remaining Halloween dragons while egg-locked because I knew I wouldn't have time to hatch those eggs before the new release. Which then got delayed. If I'd known that would happen, I would have bred later so I could keep some of those eggs. Still kicking myself for that. BUT, life happens, and there are people out there with waaaaay bigger worries than any kind of problem a delayed new release will cause. I've got a roof over my head, no flooding at my door, and the power on. These are fortunes beyond measure. I wish everyone on DC a wonderful and happy Halloween. I wish safety to those in the storm. Most of all, I wish kindness and peace to those who are upset by the delayed egg release, because it seems like such a waste of a holiday to let it be ruined by a pixel game. I mean, how did we enjoy a happy Halloween before DC came along? Share this post Link to post

Yeah... it was definitely building up to the drop, so I'm not surprised you and everyone else feels like it's fallen flat or unfinished. I'm sorry you're stuck all alone, though! /jedi hugs EDIT @jerusha: TJ said it was to do with the number of people affected, not the area. Apparently he's been monitoring the traffic on the site and it's significantly down. And it could be that he has real life issues to deal with. That wouldn't surprise me at all.

Posted October 31, 2012 How do you get the new Aliset item? Update: Aliset: apparently not completed Shadow Walkers: Got em! Marrows:Got em! Trick or Treat: Not yet Zombie attempt: Failure Vamp attempt: Failure Anyone want any pumpkins? I liek Pumpkins Share this post Link to post
Posted October 31, 2012 lol, sometimes I like the holiday re-colors better than the original sprites... Like the blue stripe just looks epic, the horse-dragon looks more like a dragon now the male red-chest wyvern is awesome the sheild dragons are epic white, if spitfires where this color all the time I'd probably hord them the red water dragon makes the side by side pair look uber cool the gold re-color makes me want them even more than I do already and the purples makes me want to hord too... Good job colorists and artists!! Share this post Link to post

Nah, I didnt assume you were complaining. The same sentiment has been expressed all over the place. It just means we have to make sure the next event rocks Share this post Link to post

Go back to the shops area, there should be an unlocked shop close to the bottom of the list. Click that, and you'll find the map. I hope that helps you! Share this post Link to post
Posted October 31, 2012 @TheTwilightKnight Well, in the last two days I was hunting for low time eggs, since I wanted a free scroll for release. Combine that with more than enough red dragons ready to incubate, and yeah. To be honest, I will be cutting it a little close with this year's release, but I have a four day holiday, so I can stay up catching through the night if I want to. I'm really satisfied with this year. I payed up all of the Halloween IOUs I owned in the first two hours. To top it all of I didn't even need to breed my dragons - I managed to catch everything I needed in the AP. Now, if all those people that owe me 2012 hatchlings stay true to their word and it will be perfect. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 31, 2012 Out of six kills, I only managed to zombify the last one. I did end up successfully reviving one though... *a moment of silence for my zombie fails* Oh, and I've also got a few more breeding attempts for my shadow walkers and marrows. If anyone wants them, feel free to pm me. Share this post Link to post
