Down for maintenance. >_<

I can't even tell if I caught anything. There were less people catching already, and I saw a magi fly by this (short) drop as well. I'm hoping I caught something though happy.gif

Four for myself, 1 for a friend. Done for today, and will get ready for the next release tomorrow.

Got nothing but a bunch of frustration. Hopefully I'll have more luck after I sleep.

Wow, can't believe I actually managed to get one on my first try! blink.gif I've never been this lucky with new releases before!

 

The egg looks really nice, reminds me of some sort of a fish, maybe? Can't wait to see the hatchies smile.gif

Lower ping is good, right? I have a ping of 12 ms, 16.06 Mbps for download... via speedtest.net

I still open about 20+ tabs every time, however. So, whatever.

Reflexes, I think. Because 250 ms is about 1/4 of a second and the average human reflex is 215 ms. People with good internet have a huge advantage, but that is not the only story.

^This.

 

And there are a lot of things people can do to speed up things in other areas. For instance, don't run a bunch of other programs while hunting. Don't hunt in the same browser you're doing forum stuff in. Close down unneeded background programs. Clear out the cache in the browser you're hunting in. Make sure your anti-virus program isn't set to automatically run sweeps during top of the hour cave drops. Sometimes even restarting clears out some of the cobwebs.

 

There's a lot of little things in this game that shave of a tiny bit of time, but all of those things together can often compensate for weaknesses in other areas.

Yeah it's not happening for us this time.

Moments like this make me want the ability to disable the mobile interface. Competing against 400+ people who likely won't have to scroll down all the time is not going to work.

If I'm lucky and my mother allows me and my sibling on the iPad we could grab some, but currently its impossible. So have fun everyone, we're out for now.

 

Also, the downtime made me giggle a bit. Inevitable things!

 

 

ETA: okay I'm laughing at myself here, I got one. Welp. The downtime is misleading? *slaps self*

Still nothing. *sigh* I'm sure I'd be able to catch the two I want if I was able to stay up for another 2-3 hours, but alas I have to get up in the morning. If anyone is feeling generous and wants to gift me 1 or 2 I'd be grateful.

 

 

*off to bed now*

I just got on so I guess I'll have to wait awhile before I can grab those new eggs. Thank you for the release!

Good morning y'all! (It's 9am here and I have a whole day of hunting ahead of me - yay!)

 

The eggs look gorgeous, and they're in the Coast! Awesome!

Hoping to get some at the next hour drop =)
