Come on weather make up your mind!!! (#BipolarDesertWeather) As a My Little Pony fan, I will say that it's Discord weather. Both night AND day. A weird one that I've been pondering for a bit... "This egg is heavier than you expect" and the line in the AP "Once an egg has been touched by a human, the human's scent rubs off onto the egg. The mother dragon then will reject the egg and no longer be able to tell that it is her own." How do you know it's heavier than you thought if you didn't pick it up!? Share this post Link to post

Posted January 19, 2016 Yes weather, make up yo damn mind Well.. considering that there are two moons of Valkemare.. and that the moon can shine in the daytime.. its not THAT impossible. Perhaps the sun is on the horizon, and the two moons are next to each other on the other horizon. The fog is blocking the moonlight from the Sun egg and the sunlight from the Moon egg. If the larger moon is about the same size as our moon, and it has a slightly smaller moon also next to it, and they happen to be both close to full (a full moon doesn't show during the daytime, if you look up the moon cycle it makes sense) then it would cast enough moonlight to make a reflective or transparent surface to show "iridescence." Wow. I just went What If on a dragon website. LIFE COMPLEEEETE Share this post Link to post
Posted January 19, 2016 Pillow egg in the Alpine right now..."This egg has a velvety texture"...once again, what? Do we players go around fondling eggs in the cave so much that we know exactly what the texture is? Are pillows and Nilia pygmies doomed to be abandoned due to so much groping?

"This egg shakes from time to time, as if it is eager to hatch." *egg takes 5 days to hatch* So eager. Ugh, yes. If Whiptails were REALLY eager to hatch, they'd at least take one day less than every other dragon. They'd also be more popular due to faster hatching time. Hmm. That needs to be a suggestion! It would make Whiptails a lot more popular. "This egg feels like polished stone"...three pyralspites in the Volcano a few minutes ago...and once again, why are we feeling these eggs?

Posted January 19, 2016 I'd also like to mention Swallowtails. How do you know that the shells are thin? Did you just take it and rip open the shell? Also, these poor dragons are doomed to be abandoned. You probably need to touch em to know how thin the shells are. Share this post Link to post

Also, these poor dragons are doomed to be abandoned. You probably need to touch em to know how thin the shells are. Exactly what I've been saying! I understand the "almost too hot to touch" ones...you could just hold your hands over it...but the ones that explicitly say you "felt" the egg...just what? Also, saw another Guardian protecting a Mint in the Volcano. If I weren't egg locked, I really would take them both and make them a pair. So cute! The Guardian protecting the shy little Mint!

How did you find out it's fragile without breaking it? Or did you break one before you saw that one? All I can think of is 09' egg coming with a 'Handle with Care' sticker on it in a box filled with styrofoam. "This egg has a holly leaf stuck to it." - I'm still wondering how that holly leaf gets there. Is it somehow always there after birth or does some sort of pygmy dragon come round and stick them on?

How are we not blind? There is a reason why you don't look at directly at a solar eclipse and why your eyes dance around the sun when trying to look at it. Our retinas should be broiling.

Because, you know, it's a second sun and as the person above you posted, our eyes should be melting out of their sockets if we're that close and keeping our eyes not only open but looking in that direction.

Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) This egg makes you feel uneasy. ONCE AGAIN... DO NOT TELL ME HOW I FEEL. "This egg can’t seem to make up its mind on what color it is." Eggs have minds? I actually disagree with this one. The Cassare thing is a magical effect that has nothing to do with your personality. And honestly I think the ones like "This egg glows in moonlight" or whatnot are less contradictory or confusing than y'all make it sound. Most of them don't say, "There is moonlight making the egg glow right now," but rather that the egg has the property of glowing or being iridescent or whatever in moonlight. You could've observed that at another time and recognize the egg as one of the same kind, or perhaps you can just tell by magic that it'd have that property. So for me at least those ones actually are fine. And with the sun thing, I took that to be hyperbole rather than a literal description. I can see how you could though. However, the Purple eggs definitely need a desc update. Back when the eggs were all primary colors, that made slightly more sense (although even then I didn't really see why a purple egg was so much more outlandish, than, say, a bright red or neon mint green one.) And the touching ones, also very much agree on those - they're not well thought out IMO. The 'this egg is very reflective, almost metallic' one has always gotten to me. If it's not metallic, but it is reflective, what is it, a glossy yellow? I can almost buy that for the actual Gold eggs, because on some monitors they do look more yellow than gold - but then you have the patently, obviously metallic prize eggs, with the same description! And the shimmerscale isn't even reflective, it's more of a pearly metallic color. But still clearly metallic. Very silly. Another one that amuses me is the overuse of the word "strange". Why not weird, unusual, surprising, intricate, disturbing...? Surely a more precise or at least different adjective could've been used. And what's with three totally unrelated, non-similar-looking eggs having identical descs and being confused for each other? Edited January 20, 2016 by Lurhstaap Share this post Link to post
