Down With The Sickness!

Recommended Posts

and wait is the sickness actually making the site lag?

When I try to breed it does for me. I haven't tried using Fertility or anything else that allows you to choose from your adult dragons, so I can't say if it's affecting anything else.

Because that's actually the inspiration for the title.

For the glory of the cure, I made some buttons for the thread! I would make some banners, but right now, I can't think of a good background for them right now.

 

So, have some plain buttons!

- The sprites is mine. I made it. So, they're mine.

- These guys are free to use! Just be sure to give credit to me when asked!

- I'll make actual banners eventually. The Viruses will be jealous of all our banners once Vrack is done with their banners.

 

I'm sorry to hear about your kitty Vrack. Same about your rats, rampaging wyvern/

@Keyboard_Cat: You should add these to the opening post, so that people can find the badges easier.

And well, I guess I always choose the "good" option in games. *shrug*

Me too. That's why I'm here. biggrin.gif

Yet I fully respect the other side, simply because we don't know what is happening yet. No dragon has died of the infection, so what if, instead of a real diesease, it's the precursor to something else? A special parasitic Halloween Dragon, maybe, that somehow saps the life force of our dragons before being born? I mean, lethargy is not uncommon in pregnant animals.

Pregnant friends of mine have even told me they DID have trouble remembering things during certain phases of their pregnancy, so even the "their sharp intelligence is blunted" would make sense in that respect. wink.gif

Therefore, I understand people choosing the other side. However, I do feel better being a healer. laugh.gif

It seems like it is... As far as I can see, the infected dragons' images are generated dynamically by overlaying a separate slime image over the original and then saving that as a new, combined image. So when you load a page with infected dragons it has to generate all of the infected versions of their images. I could be wrong, but it seems that way based on how the images load after the others and their paths. This would create lag server-side because it has to use more processing power generating these images so loading the site in general takes longer.

 

Of course, it could also just be because there're a lot of people on the site around this time so the server is running a little slower.

I can confirm having this lag with the described image generating pretty much any time of the day.

It doesn't look like that image exists... It's possible they removed it or renamed it.

 

Also, I'm still working on the banner, so for right now take these:

w/o Wings: user posted image

 

The egg is an altered version of the White egg, the wings are Shokomon's. Please feel free to use them in your signatures!

Just going to say this, it's no fun being a sickness spreader if theres way to many cure people just easily pushing us back.

 

Edit: I'm still for the Sickness so no means am I going for the cure but it kind of almost makes me not want to play if we do all this hard work getting the 50/50 mark just to easily get pushed back in almost one night
