Posted March 27, 2021 58 minutes ago, Long_Before_Sunrise said: Which leads me to my own question. Where do these exotic breed names come from? Are they Latin? I think a lot of them are but there's also french based ones and other languages. Just whatever the spriter likes. Taking a translated word and adding and removing a few letters until they get a name they like. Share this post Link to post

Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) I don't know about anyone else, but I pronounce it (ooh how to write this...) Zye-o-morf. (as in the ye sounds like eye. Zeye...) Edited March 27, 2021 by Fuzzbucket Share this post Link to post

Posted March 27, 2021 My o is just any sort of vowel sound, really. I don't dwell on it. Zigh-u-morf is more correct. (Zigh is a better way to do that syllable though ! thanks !) Share this post Link to post

Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) And I pronounce it more like Zigh´-uh-morf. Or would, if I ever had to pronounce it at all, but since no one I know IRL actually plays with these dragons I really have no need. Edited March 27, 2021 by purplehaze Share this post Link to post

I pronounce it Zyu-morph (two syllables) The first syllable rhymes with you (or two) but I'm not sure how you would spell that phonetically Share this post Link to post

Zoo-morf Sort of but with a y sound in between the Z and oo, like Zyoo-morf On a side note I'm finding the different ways that people pronounce Zyumorph fascinating Edited March 27, 2021 by Chaos Rider Share this post Link to post

Posted March 28, 2021 i'm not gonna lie, finding out the way that some of you say zyumorph is weirding me out i say it the same way chaosrider. very interesting! i have a question that im not sure if anyones gonna know the answer to, but worth a shot of throwing it out there anyway i lurk in the wilderness sometimes (especially if ive just released something), and on occasion i see these little fogballs ive seen a few of them and hovered over them to find different codes (cQ1I, RjPp, k4cL... theres probably more..?) does anyone know what these are? what causes them? i does is have to know Share this post Link to post

Posted March 28, 2021 Just to add to the silliness, in my head I pronounce it zoo-oh-morf. No idea why and never questioned it until now. Share this post Link to post

And Confused Cat is from one the German-speaking countries For some strange reason, unbeknownst even to myself, in my brain, "CB" goes like "kay bay" - luckily I never actually need to say anything DC-related out loud.

Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Like others, I'm getting "You expected to see some eggs, but there are none to be found." in each biome. Is there a release event occurring? Also, is it possible to change my scroll name? I'm not too keen on keeping this one. Edited March 28, 2021 by Dark_Necros Share this post Link to post

Also, is it possible to change my scroll name? I'm not too keen on keeping this one. Yes, there is. There is a thread in the News section about it. Two new breeds. It's never been possible to change your scroll name, but TJ recently said it's going to be possible soon. No idea exactly when. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) On 3/25/2021 at 9:08 AM, Jazeki said: Do sinomorphs produce stateraes? Any xeno can produce a staterae, but the odds are extremely low, below 1/100 (source: my several attempts of breeding several hundred xenos to holidays/rares/celestials and getting 0 to 2 stats per massbreed). I believe staterae mates are more likely to make more staterae, but that's still probably a 1/13 odds or less. Parent biome is a factor in whether a pair can produce specific biome-based xenos, but any biome (or no biome) can still make stateraes.

New release eggs will be the only things dropping in the biomes at first and they are usually snapped up very, very fast. Like the 5 minute drops are over in a few seconds. When the eggs are all gone you will get that message, but if you try again on the 5 minute marks or the top of the hour, there will be eggs again. After some time the new eggs will begin mixing with older breeds and things will be pretty much back to normal. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 29, 2021 How does an ER egg manage to get sick (when not a Sunrise/set)? Isn't sickness from too many views for its age and ER is not enough views for its age? Share this post Link to post
