Use the "sort by" dropdown on the right hand side below "unique breeds".

huh.  you learn something new every day

This may seem like really stupid question, but I swear I have been looking around for an answer on my own for quite a while and can't seem to figure this out.

 

So in forums, there was (or is still?) an option to be anonymous upon signing in... I've tried signing out and in again, I've cleared cookies, gone through all possible settings that I could think of...

 

How do I disable this feature? For a while I wanted to browse threads anonymous, but... now I seem to be stuck with it? Is there a way to turn it off? How do I do this? I seem to have been going through same pages over and over with no answer so far... am I missing something obvious here?

Hopefully this is what you were looking for?

Thank you @HeatherMarie and @purplehaze - makes sense now!

[Moonlightelf]

@0x08

Yes! Thank you so much ^^ I don't know how on earth I missed that.

I'm not seeing the Privacy setting on my phone at all. I'm invisible to myself right now.

Someone asked and got confirmation earlier than Nebula eggs sort either with blue/purple Nebulas or with red/green ones so you can guess their color (if you also know the gender of the egg).

 

Do Alcedine eggs sort with either red or blue Alcedine adults according to future color? I tried grabbing a couple of Alcedine eggs and they all sorted below my blue Alcedine so either I randomly picked blue eggs or eggs don’t sort according to future color.

I THOUGHT the sort thing for nebulas had been "fixed" and it didn't work any more ? I have some I need to breed so - back soon....

 

OK - I searched back; it seems that ONLY works once they hatch, not with eggs. (And until my firegems co-operate I can't test !)

I am pretty certain that trick does not work with the Alcedines. It was tried when they first were released.

I don't think it works with Nebula eggs, either. You have to wait until they hatch. But Pargulus pygmies sort with their color as eggs -- or at least they used to.

Did a thread ever get created for ideas for breeding the new Oracle Wyrms? Not trying to force anyone to create one if not, but I'm just wondering if I missed it somewhere since I tend to stick to the same discussion areas on the forums.

[0x08]

I don't remember seeing such a thread, @Silverwatermist. I do recall seeing some people talk about lineage ideas in the release thread. I remember Aso Xenowyrms being brought up.

 

And speaking of Xenowyrms,

Question:

When breeding Staterae Xenowyrms, the Xenowyrm offspring are determined by the biome of the parents, as far as I know.

Now, what if a Staterae Xenowyrm's mate has a lineage (is not caveborn)?

And, what if this mate is a Prize Dragon?

No, I don't think so.

[Silverwatermist]

Thank you! Glad to have a confirmation so I don't keep wondering! (And yes, I do remember some talk about it in the release thread now that you say that! I'll have to go back and look at that while I figure out what to breed )

As far as I can tell Stats can give any Xeno when breeding, not based on biome. I have Stats that have given me nearly every type!

[Fuzzbucket]

Yeah

I see, good to know, thank you both!

 

This one is more of a question about aesthetics, I suppose... Please let me know if this topic is not the place for it, and I'll move it.

Which Cantormaris variant looks best when paired with a Staterae?

Spoiler

× Mundus

× Sophos

× Itus

× Iratus

× Tutela

× Motus

 

[RainDear]

My personal favorite is Sophos @0x08.

[Fuzzbucket]

Probably should be somewhere in breeding.... but - while my heart says Tutela because they are Da Best, my brain agrees with RainDear.

Noted

 

And thank you both! I agree, Sophos fits quite nicely.

Is there a thread on the forum for testing posts?

 

For example, I need to test this:

Why on earth do you need to test that - and what do you mean by "testing posts" ?

From her post in the forum update post, I gather she was trying to determine the identity of the new font.

[Fuzzbucket]

Oh. Well - if you copy paste to word, I get it as Segoe UI..

 

But why would one need to have a special test post ?

It’s not Fira Code. Check the Q, for one.

 

I made a screenshot of the post and uploaded it to several sites which do font identification, and that is how I found the font.
