Posted November 24, 2014 Booo none of what is on our scrolls PRIOR to the release of the Encyclopedia count, unfortunately. I did find in checking the lineages of my dragons that those views counted when I clicked on them, that is how I finally got the Black ALTs to show up. I'm not talking about dragons prior though. I owned 2 Sunset eggs and hatchlings once the encyclopedia was implemented but my stats say 0. They're only counted as adults. Eggs Owned: 0 Hatchlings Owned: 0 Adults Raised: 2 Share this post Link to post
Posted November 24, 2014 There is no sunset egg to be unlocked. All you need is hatchies and adults to unlock the info. That there is the problem. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) That takes up a lot of time for those of us with several hundred/thousand dragons. Also some of us (like me!) don't like releasing dragons. I am one of those people with thousands of dragons ;p I'm not saying you should take up the practice or even that I like it. I just want my dragon numbers to be accurate and don't see a fix happening anytime soon. Edited November 27, 2014 by Scrac Share this post Link to post

I just want my dragons owned numbers to be accurate and don't see a fix happening anytime soon. I think you are confusing encyclopedia with census. I have some silly stats on shadow walkers, look at all those eggs. •Eggs Owned: 225 •Hatchlings Owned: 30 •Adults Raised: 29 •Eggs Observed: 89 •Hatchlings Observed: 146 •Adults Observed: 413 I know I did a lot of catch and release in the AP but I guess it included all the eggs I bred that went to the AP as well. This is just what passed through the scroll since the encyclopedia released. By no means could I have possibly raised that many eggs. It isn't a census of what is currently on your scroll, there isn't even a line for Adults Owned (raised doesn't mean it is still on your scroll, could be wild or dead). I think if a census is what you want it needs to be another feature and I suspect such a suggestion already has a thread. Share this post Link to post

I think if a census is what you want it needs to be another feature and I suspect such a suggestion already has a thread. EXACTLY. An encyclopaedia includes facts that relate to EVERYONE. I do not want or need to know the stats on anyone's scroll but my own, and that info should not be in an encyclopaedia, even if it were only visible to me. It should be separate (and I think there is a thread, but I forget where.) Share this post Link to post
Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) That there is the problem. Night Glory Drakes have the same problem as the Sunsets. And while checking the others out, Imperial Fleshcrownes are listed as "Found in: Forest, Coast, Coast". Does it bother anyone else that when there are multiple biomes listed, they're not always in the same order as they're listed on the front page? Alpine especially seems to move around the most.

My question is this: Just curious, had anyone else taken up the practice of raising messies/fails/inbreds to adulthood then releasing them so you can make your adult totals accurate?

I think if a census is what you want it needs to be another feature and I suspect such a suggestion already has a thread. That is the thing. I also do a LOT of catching and tossing back in the AP, just to see if I can find anything good. Therefor those totals aren't going to be an accurate reflection of what I have anyway so... no, I don't necessarily keep dragons that I bred that didn't turn out to be what I wanted. That said, I feel that a scroll census of some kind... separate from the 'unlocking' thing in the Encyclopedia, would be cool. I would like to KNOW how many of each breed I have.

My reply is how can you match what isn't there to match? There isn't an adults owned listing. If you want to raise and release dragons so the raised number equals how many are on your scroll you could. Call it a new play style though I don't think it will catch on with very many people. But what if you miscount and release too many and get the count off in that direction? (Sorry, couldn't resist playing devil's advocate.) Share this post Link to post
Posted November 25, 2014 That there is the problem. Interesting part of that is the Sunrise dragons also have the "Unknown" for the "Found in" heading, but do not have any unlocking unlocking info. I think the entries for the two of them are crossed. Share this post Link to post

I think the entries for the two of them are crossed. Funny. My info for Sunrise says that they're found in the Alpine. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Funny. My info for Sunrise says that they're found in the Alpine. Same here. Once the egg image is unlocked it says Alpine for the location. The Sunset still says unknown and has the mouse-over message to unlock it by owning one egg or observing 5, but all the eggs observed or raised seem to count as Sunrise.

Posted November 25, 2014 I've got two alt vine hatchies, hatched both of them myself, but neither of them have counted towards unlocking their images? Both should count towards unlocking both sprites according to the mouse-over, or so I thought... Share this post Link to post

Both should count towards unlocking both sprites according to the mouse-over, or so I thought... Pretty sure others had this issue with Yellow Undines because they had already been counted during the egg phase. Not sure if it fixed itself later or not though. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 26, 2014 Yes indeed - I have an alt hatchie, AND when mine hatched alt I have just looked at several others and the mouse over still says I have to own a hatchie (I do) or observe 5 - an I've now viewed MORE THAN THAT but that 5 stays there... Share this post Link to post
Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) I started doing this encyclopedia thing a bit late, so in the past few days I unlocked all observations for the following breeds: Black dragons Skywing dragons Gold dragons Silver dragons Copper dragons Sunrise dragons Sunset dragons Deep sea dragons Water dragons Pillow dragons Speckle-throated dragons Carmine wyverns Desipis dragons Blacktip dragons Spitfire dragons Hellfire wyverns Pygmy dragons Horse dragons Pink dragons Purple dragons White dragons Harvest dragons Undead dragons Neglected dragons Dorsal dragons Nebula dragons Blue-banded dragons Canopy dragons Daydream dragons Ember dragons Two-headed dragons Royal blue dragons Imperial fleshcrowne dragons Magi dragons Red dragons Striped dragons Waterhorse dragons Spotted greenwing dragons Chickens I had a lot of trouble unlocking the undead, chickens and neglected dragons. God, so much work! But I can't wait to unlock more breeds when their observations are added! Edited November 27, 2014 by *Silver Fox* Share this post Link to post
Posted November 26, 2014 I'm a little confused. How do I get one egg owned, one adult raised but no hatchlings owned? Share this post Link to post
Posted November 27, 2014 I'm a little confused. How do I get one egg owned, one adult raised but no hatchlings owned? I would GUESS that you had the hatchie when the encyclopaedia was rolled out, and so it didn't count as a new hatchie - but did as a new adult when it grew up ? Share this post Link to post

But what if you miscount and release too many and get the count off in that direction? (Sorry, couldn't resist playing devil's advocate.) My responses to your questions are the following: 1. You are incorrect, I clearly have raised more dragons then what I am being told. I would like to match that number, and then my stat can raise normally from there. 2. Then your question is your answer. My own method is raising in batches and then sorting the scroll by age and releasing up to a pre-selected dragon raised before the batch.

Posted November 27, 2014 I need neglected eggs, if anyone would... If anyone does, count me in... Share this post Link to post
Posted November 27, 2014 At the moment I have a curled alt.black hatchling on my scroll but it has not unlocked the image in the dragon encyclopedia it tells me I can unlock the image after owning 1 hatchling which I have, or observing 5 hatchlings. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 28, 2014 I need neglected eggs, if anyone would... Watch the "Allure of the Neglected Dragons" on Tuesday starting one hour later than it is now, I.e in 4 days 1 hour. Can't promise ofc but I hope there will be ND eggs to view Share this post Link to post
