Posted October 7, 2018 I'm not sure if anyone can actually answer this, but it's worth a shot, right? How long does it take, roughly, for a new breed's ratios to balance out so they become less prevalent in cave hunting/breeding? I know that the time needed will vary with each breed's rarity and how many people are breeding them. Share this post Link to post

Sorry for the loss of your dragon's names. I'd be really bummed out if I lost mine as I have so many named dragons and it's not easy coming up with new ones these days. Thanks Not sure why it was a thing and then they removed that option since it was one of the more unique features. 😐 I'm less upset about losing my names since I would have prefered the names go to an active player, more upset that someone grabbed them and now will sit on them for years without having the same consequence. Punishing older players but not newer ones seems extremely unfair. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 7, 2018 Am I right in saying at one point Balloon Eggs were properly centered over their shadow? Is this ever going to be fixed? Share this post Link to post

The source of light for all the eggs is from the upper left. So the shadow would not be properly placed if it were centered. Share this post Link to post

The wiki shows an old Balloon egg sprite that does indeed have the shadow centered, so at one point I guess they did. The shading on those old eggs was very very basic though, the more updated shading does have the light source off-center so it would no longer be proper to have the shadow centered.

Posted October 8, 2018 Is it possible for one player to receive two prize dragons? I just saw a egg from a CB bronze eastern bred with a CB gold western (both from 2018) Share this post Link to post

Not a majority but still - judging from their purebred offspring offered in trades - there should be at least ~ 5-10 people with 2 (or possibly more) CB prizes. Random is random, and I'm sure there are people in real life who have won lotteries more than once (I'm talking about big wins here). Share this post Link to post

Posted October 8, 2018 Really silly question from pure curiosity: what are the post requirements for each "Level" on the forums? Is this stated anywhere on the forums? I saw someone with 1,511 posts who was level 9, but I'm at Level 7 with 928 - does that mean from between 950 and 1,500 there are two level jumps? Just interested! Share this post Link to post

You can get the other dragon If it isn't a holiday out of season (which is what I was thinking of.) Or apparently Zues in this case since neither dragon breeds true, but you will still never get an avatar. Share this post Link to post

I know that the time needed will vary with each breed's rarity and how many people are breeding them. I'm not sure how helpful this is, but ratios are supposed to be based on all the dragons of the last year, and none of the dragons from before then. I don't think it was ever clarified if this was a calendar year (starting Jan 1st, this seems less likely) or a full year from whenever you're counting, or a monthly update of some sort. Regardless, this means it should take at most a full year for a new breed to have the same status as an old one, ratio-wise. That being said, I breed Fells and until recently (aka 1 year 9 months after their release) Fells were still severely overwhelming in breeding results. They seem to have suddenly gotten a bit better lately though. Share this post Link to post

Posted October 10, 2018 Sorry, but the principle on which the Xenowyrms - they are different dragons, and Zyumorphs are one dragon? (on Dragonopedia) Also Sunrise and Sunset - different, Black and White Luminas - different, Seasonals - different, and Baikalas - one. WHY?? Share this post Link to post
