Many people let hatchlings die when it's near zombie making days for lots of hatchling fodder. However, if they become zombies they are automatically frozen so you can only make zombie hatchies with them. Regular revives can bypass your growing things limit temporarily and won't be abandoned or anything. Thanks! Another quick question: can neglected dragon get sick? Share this post Link to post

They technically can, but it's very very rare and hard to do because they are already 6 days old. They will definitely not get sick even if you add to all hatcheries and give them lots of views.

Posted November 22, 2020 I’ve seen a trading request a couple of times that I don’t understand: ‘no weeds please’. I’m drawing a blank on it, any thoughts? Share this post Link to post

Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Is there a way to sort by rainbow color / age within a group while not affecting the entire scroll (which sorts by breed)? I seem to be only able to sort group members manually (custom sort) and when it's a large group that gets annoying.... Nevermind I was stupid I clicked "sort" instead of thinking to look in edit. Found how to do that! Edited November 23, 2020 by Moriaty Share this post Link to post
Posted November 24, 2020 I've a bit of a hypothetical question, I know there wouldn't really be an answer but this is driving me nuts. Why do people keep breeding staterae and GoN when it isn't possible to get an avatar from the pairing? (staterae are neutral elemental affinity - no possible avatar) Share this post Link to post

(staterae are neutral elemental affinity - no possible avatar) I haven't done it myself, but I would assume that they want a staterae, so it's like breeding to a holiday - you're guaranteed a particular offspring, if they produce at all. And there's a market for ANY staterae right now, in theory, so trade fodder. Maybe partly aesthetics, too, as it is a pretty pairing, imho.

Staterae will produce any xeno including itself so it's not a guaranteed offspring. Though the result is useless if you are into checkers, be better to breed to an actual holiday if that is the motivation. Share this post Link to post

Like holidays, it's guaranteed to not foul you up with the mate's breed that you'd rather not get instead, minimizing the rng. Not everyone is into checkers either; some will take the trade bc they just want any 2g stat bc they can't get a CB, and anything with GoNs are imperfect checkers at best anyway.

(staterae are neutral elemental affinity - no possible avatar) Me, personally, I like them and think they're pretty. Plus they're both kind of "legendary" special types of dragons, so they fit well together. I still don't have any CB Staterae, but when I do, GoNs will be one of my top picks for mates. Not everything needs to be a perfect checker these days, there are lot of good-looking EG lineages out there too. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 24, 2020 If these questions are answered in a thread or on site somewhere, please redirect me. - Is it allowed for me to post a forum thread sharing stories/biographies/art I make for my dragons? There isn't much room in the descriptions, and I don't think pictures/links are allowed in them, either. If so, what forum would I put it in? - Is it allowed for me to include 'true names' for dragons in their descriptions (such as a name I want is already taken and I give them a placeholder name or something on the scroll, but I put the taken name I wanted them to have in the description.)

Posted November 24, 2020 Someone is viewbombing me, which sucks. I've Warded the one egg that's gotten sick and hidden it. However one of my hatchies [a very valuable one that I like very much] is also sick because of it. 😕 What can I do to prevent it from dying, besides fogging it? Will stunning it help?

Sure. I do that pretty often in my own descriptions (here's one) and have not encountered any issues. If you acknowledge the discrepancy in some way, it'll be fine. Share this post Link to post

Hatchlings are very difficult to viewbomb to death. If it has days left to live, sure fog it. (Stunning it will add time to it) if its got a few hours you an probably just wait it out.

It's also a "heavy-duty" breed as an egg, so hopefully that makes it better? Thank you for the response, I'm glad to hear that it probably won't die. Share this post Link to post

True, avatar checkers aren't really checkers for the purist and there is a craze for anything staterae now. 13 hours ago, Spiteful_Crow said: Me, personally, I like them and think they're pretty.

Not everything needs to be a perfect checker these days, there are lot of good-looking EG lineages out there too. Interesting insight, hadn't considered GoN and Staterae as special "legendary" dragons. I did break down and spend my first shards when they released and got a pair of staterae (which I forget to breed most the time). Thanks for the replies folks. There are more reasons for the pairing then I thought. I was really thinking the GoN breeding mechanic was so misunderstood everyone was still trying to get an avatar. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 25, 2020 Follow up questions... After I posted that, I hid everything I had. I ended up catching a CB thunder a bit later in the day (after someone had already bombed me) and I forgot to hide it right away. Returned a couple hours later, I'd been hit again. What exactly is the motivation for viewbombing?? Just... why, really? Like it is clear at this point I am being specifically targeted but I'm genuinely baffled. I don't understand why someone would single anyone out on this site just to be malevolent? This is to the point where I'm almost scared of posting on the Trading Hub because I'm sure that's how they've gotten my scroll -- my best guess is that I didn't accept a trade offer and that really ticked someone off, or something. It's twice in one day now someone has purposefully done this Share this post Link to post
Posted November 25, 2020 @Dekka Guaranteed it's either spite or trolling. People hate what you have, hate what you're doing, hate that you grabbed something before them, or think you're one of many convenient viewbombing targets. They're just being jerks because there's no chance they'll be punished for doing this to you. Share this post Link to post

I dunno what the opposite of "floats my boat" is, but that does the opposite of floating my boat If people wouldn't be awful, I'd honestly be willing to catch just about anything that I'm trading for free anyways.

DIdn't even know that page existed; for killing I guess I'll just need to go through the action log searching for keyword "killed" then... Another question, I sorted by color. Is this normal?? That this blue dragon sorted on top? Edited November 25, 2020 by Moriaty Share this post Link to post
