Posted March 18, 2013 I've done the refresh thing. Mostly because I get into a repetition with refreshing and it's like I can't turn it off. The hand just keeps going and going and going... I have to mentally force myself to slow down a bit. And in doing that, I think it comes down to luck as to whether or not my refresh cycle coincides with whomever took the egg before the metallic. If you haven't rebooted in awhile, it's good to do that too. And not have a bunch of things running like online radio. I misclicked a spitfire doing the refresh thing yesterday. Then clicked a paper after that thinking, ahh, there won't be another in this drop. Refreshed and browsed to the tab with the paper to confirm I caught it. Looked back at the other tab... there was a gold sitting there. Was tempted to keep the paper and name it Golden Tissue. Share this post Link to post

Posted March 19, 2013 OHHHHH MY GOSH. I just caught a CB Gold in the freaking Desert. There were 5 people in there, and I clicked on it, and it was already there so I spammed it to crap, and somehow managed to get it. I am the happiest person ever. I literally don't know what to do right now. Share this post Link to post

Posted March 19, 2013 I think a lot of people do the over-click hand thing. That's how I miss them about 75% of the time... Gaaaaaaah this time tho I clicked on a silver and got the overburdened message. THAT'S THE CLOSEST I'VE GOTTEN YET. (I ended mocksobbing and cried at my cockatiel, who is used to my insanity.) (I shouldn't complain I later got an cb ice which I exchanged for a cb thunder so I could have at least one of each trio so I can start FAILING AT SUMMONING but missing the silver still hurts. D: ) Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) had an egg slot open, so i was shifting through the biomes. just went to the forest, and it registered that a silver was sitting there as i clicked on the Jungle. raced back to the forest and it was still sitting there. so i clicked on it and "Sorry, this egg has already been taken by somebody else."

Posted March 19, 2013 That tends to happen. And there are no such thing as biodomes in DC. Only biomes. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2013 After missing more than 50 CB metals in forever, I feel like some of my metal catching luck is coming back a little ;-; Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) After missing more than 50 CB metals in forever, I feel like some of my metal catching luck is coming back a little ;-; Congrats. I've missed 102 so far since the metals started to pick up.... Seems I'm only effective at picking up blacks, reds and ice, with the occasional GW, Royal Blue and nebula.... But as to metals...nope.

Posted March 19, 2013 Refreshed right over a Gold (Alpine) and an Ice (/)_-) Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) missed two Golds int he Alpine by a mili-second edit - 1 on the hourly drop, 1 about a minute ago having to force myself not to click on the Gold Wyvrens though. i'd totally lock myself with those beauties given half the chance edit #2 - didn't see a single Metal in the Alpine these past two drops.

Posted March 19, 2013 Missed a Silver in vulcano. But, at least it went to a newbie, so I'm not that much sorry. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2013 refreshed on desert checked forums came back to desert there stood a silver. REFRESH *ohgodwhy.* it was gone Share this post Link to post
Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Well, just when I thought this drop was going to be a dud, an Ice appears out of nowhere! I click it, nope, back, refresh, WHOA GOLD! Refresh ( it!), OMG STILL THERE, click... nope. At least I got a speckle-throat earlier. Edited March 20, 2013 by Engiype Share this post Link to post
Posted March 20, 2013 I somehow managed my first two cb golds only one day apart. First just happened to randomly be in the volcano when I clicked there and I got it. Day later, went to the jungle at top of the hour and O hai, random gold with 6 people on page and I got that :3 Share this post Link to post
Posted March 20, 2013 I still haven't managed to catch one >-< I'm milliseconds off every time it seems... But I'm catching Gwyverns like there's no tomorrow apparently. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) dont worry Luna you'll get one posative thoughts no matter how much they taunt you. OTOH Gold Wyvrens are outstanding and not bad catches in themselves given before the new release they were very reclusive with dropping. grats Duck!! missed a silver in the Dessert last night cause i had an itch on my shoulder haven't seen any so far, but i just started hunting today. i dont know if its that i really want to catch a gold, or that i know i'll catch a gold soon; but everyime i go hunting today i keep visually seeing the code screen with a gold egg sitting pretty and shiny. so i'm telling myself firmly "you will catch a gold today" now to see if i can make this a self fullfilling prophecy edit - not a metal, but i did want to note that after months of not seeing one, i saw a Blusang fly by in the Coast last night as well. was totally shocked to see one after so long didnt even get a chance to click after it Edited March 20, 2013 by Red2111 Share this post Link to post
Posted March 20, 2013 When I read this I get totally jealous! I play this game for almost 4 years and I was never able to catch a metal. And I caught my first stripe like late autumn last year... o.O Share this post Link to post
Posted March 20, 2013 Caught a Silver in Volcano. Then went to the Alpine and clicked on a Gold, it was an "overburdened"....well, I shouldn't have tried the summon lol Share this post Link to post
Posted March 20, 2013 missed the gold in the Alpine. tried for a Silver and Gold that went back to back in the Dessert and got the Magi and Stone that went right behind both so i bite the two misclicks hoping to get a few vamps out of the deal. no luck there either Share this post Link to post
