Lifting the Holiday limit

Recommended Posts

The new limits kinda made me wish I held on to a second holly , what was it, two years ago? I was looking for one with a magi lineage and just going into the chat and giving away the ones that didn't fit. Which was all of them. A lot of people were happy with their first holly though and I ended up giving someone else a fourth gen thuwed holly or something.

 

I haven't been active on the forums and was wondering if dead lining is still possible. If so I can make a pseudo magi x holly lineage for now until I can get a real one.

 

I've found some great lineages with the other dragons though and contemplated throwing this one back:

http://dragcave.net/lineage/815vb

 

If I can't find a mate for it on the AP, I'm contemplating breeding one. I still have not bred mine and I'm hoping my original holly will make several eggs. I'm swapping the one I'm keeping though for a dead lined holly. I got a pretty good mate set up for it too.

 

EDIT: also just as a heads up, as soon as an egg hatches I'm breeding my holly in case anyone's watching the ap. It will be a varied 4th even gen.

Congrats on that beauty!

I, too, have bred eggs i wouldn't have bred , if the limits weren't lifted. So i think it's a great advantage for people who collect nice lineages like me, although it IS tough this year and perhaps the next year too, to grab something from the AP!

I hope it gets better...

....and than my chance will come and i will have more than one little messy Holly as well....muhahahaha xd.png

I'm really happy about the lifted limit. I love Ribbon Dancers a lot and I was always a little sad that I couldn't get more of them but now I can and I currently have seven of them growing on my scroll c: I also got gifted my first Holly this year, I still can't quite believe it! =o

As far as I know, Christmas x Christmas pairings will always produce offspring of the newer breed, so there's no chance a ribbon dancer x winter magi combo will produce ribbon dancer babies sad.gif Hope that will change at some point, too... Seems to be not true, see post on the next page smile.gif

I joined in 2008 and don't have a holly - but I have caught some, put some back, gifted some to ones who don't mind a messy lineage, and I know sooner-or-later I will.

 

I am thrilled that the limits are lifted, because it's now possible to make some gorgeous lineages, and I have caught plenty of pretty 2nd gens in the AP, as have my hubby and friends.

 

And since I missed a couple of years, I am especially happy to be able to pick up more than 2 each of those. Yulebuck is one of my favorites, too, and I can now add to my pair of CB ones biggrin.gif

 

I can't wait for more room on my scroll so I can find some more.

 

The only thing that I was unhappy about was that I thought you could influence them and you can't - and while I'm not smart about this, aren't there some of these that will gender both ways? I know the wiki said the Hollies could be influenced, but when I tried before I gifted the last one, I couldn't.

 

edit: my friend who found the 4th gen wants to know how this happened:

 

http://dragcave.net/view/Holy (it's one of the base dragons for her egg)

 

that a holly was hatched on Feb 15, grew on up the 18th?

 

bizarre...

I think someone who won the Valentine's raffle chose a Holly as a prize. smile.gif

It's a Honorable Mention Holly meaning it won't have the catch date on Dec 25-27. I think anyways since Raffle is after the catching season right?

ah, I see. I had no idea such things happened, and obviously know nothing about raffles.

 

thanks!

Ah now I know why the hollies are still impossible to catch -

 

I've been trying since 2008 to get one and keep missing them on the AP. I was hoping it would be easier this year as quotas filled but obviously it is not to be.

 

Oh for a fast connection!

I think it's okay! I have a Snow Angel from Yulebuck x Snow Angel, and I just caught a Yulebuck from Yulebuck x Snow Angel today. And I seem to remember breeding holiday dragons together and getting a mixture of eggs from the pairing, before. So, a mate is possible, from what I've experienced!

Wow, that's good news! I just came across a thread in the help section where someone reported christmas x christmas would only produce the male parent's breed, but that seems not to be the case either if you have both breeds from the same pairing smile.gif

I bred several of those - I'll do it again for you next year if you like - they're all gone for now, though !

 

MINE were named though xd.png

I dislike it. The best part about the holiday eggs in general has been the holiday egg wall in the AP, at least for me. I miss the full egg wall. I have had a hard time getting the holiday eggs (even though I've been on DC for almost 5 years I always managed to miss out on holiday eggs) and I thankfully have gotten them now but I really love the holiday wall. And I'm sad it's gone.

 

But I'll survive. wink.gif

I still rather expect to see a holiday egg wall, come Christmas day!

I'm sure we will. We are still getting over the massive AP backlog - but the low times get lower every day biggrin.gif.

I love the change. I like to collect gendered and ungendered frozen hatchies, and now I can do so without giving up my adults. Not to mention I've been hunting another 2nd gen Yule--one of my adult Yulebucks is 2nd gen but the other doesn't have the best lineage, and it would have made me really sad to release him. Now I can keep my handsome 4th gen Kyzane and still search up another pretty 2nd gen. And the hatchies! Everything I've kept this year so far has been for freezing because I love those holiday hatchies so much! I can hardly wait for Valentine's Day now--hopefully those limits will also be removed, and then I can collect Heartseekers and Sweetlings to my heart's content =)

I'm mixed about it. Very happy that I'll be able to breed the Snow Angels and Yulebucks (which I adore). Bummed a bit too because I've been trying to catch a Holly since 2008, and after last year, it looked like it might actually be a possibility because so many folks got them.

 

But it's not the end of the world. It's a game and I've lived this long without one. smile.gif

There seems to be a lot more hollies going around compared to last, or last last Christmas, which would explain the deflated prices for hollies, so yeah, I am happy abt that.

 

Now if I can only get the one I need to trade for my scroll goals...that would be awesome.
