Posted May 21, 2018 Continuing with my 'stage-2 descriptions are strange' comment, the volcano one? 'And look! A vibrant mane has developed along its back, and it’s grown much larger.' It doesn't look 'much larger' to me, in fact it looks like the actual size of the sprite is exactly the same. I get that perhaps in game-world it grew larger, but normally a 'grown larger' description is accompanied by at least a *slightly* larger sprite. Share this post Link to post
Posted May 21, 2018 Wow, very impressed indeed! The Trading section is excellent! Very much liking the Sprite updates too (the Red dragon looks siiiiiick), along with the new little hatchlings. Wonder what the adults will look like! Great, I expect! Happy 12th Birthday DC and thank you for all the new stuff! Share this post Link to post

I made it to the market by following a link in another thread (which is where I found out about it first, ironically) but in looking around just the normal pages, I can't seem to find a link to the Market on the main part of the site? Am I overlooking it? Okay. To clarify this with pictures (and add it to my Compilation Post). For Mobile: For Computer: (Forgive my scribbles. I did this by phone.)

Posted May 21, 2018 I like the new adult Seasonals and Reds, but I'm going to miss the old hatchie sprites. Share this post Link to post
Posted May 21, 2018 Anyone else not getting the Wants section to show up when you try to teleport? I've used two different browsers and it doesn't show up on either. Share this post Link to post
Posted May 21, 2018 Harry Potter eggs, awesome! I've caught 2 Gryffindor eggs and 2 Hufflepuff eggs. I can only catch 2 more and then I'm up to my limit. How can I unlock the locked eggs in the Market? Share this post Link to post

If it says something about not being unlocked it means you need to unlock that breed in the Encyclopedia by viewing some of that breed (other people's scrolls help). Share this post Link to post

(Hopefully these aren't ginormous. First pic share to DC from laptop) Are they located on a different cave page? I use the Blackout theme, and original style, so that's probably why.

If that ever happens I will sit in a corner and cry for weeks on end. And after that I'll probably still sob now and then. Because correct anatomy or not, if they get updated they'll loose those gorgeous colours (everything that gets updated ends up brighter and shinier for some reason), and they'll loose bulk (because it seems to be really hard to do more detailed antomy without loosing bulk). And then they'll not be my gorgeous, perfect, DC-favourite sprite anymore. Also, probably because I'm no expert, I can't even make out any anatomical errors in the sprites. (At least not when I see them normally sized on the view page.) If it has to be updated, then I'll have to accept that, but I sure hope it will take years until that's necessary ! And speaking of this... @Sprite Updates I think the update of the Reds was fantastic work, because the spriter managed to make a "3D" version of the "2D" sprite without changing any defining details. With the Seasonals I still think a lot of care went into keeping things like overall posture and lineage view - which is a great thing ! And the work of correcting the anatomy is fantastic, although I lament the loss of bulk that stems from it in most cases, but I guess that couldn't be helped. But some important details (like the dimensions/proportions of the head crowns, or the ratio between tail and tail-frills) were changed for no anatomical reasons that I can see, and that's a real pity, because it changes the dragons specific look more than seems necessary. Also - the colours. Why do the colours of re-sprited dragons always come out so much brighter than the original ? Silvers, Hollies, the Reds now, too, to a certain extent. All became more bright and shiny. And I first realized the sprite update when I came to my scroll this morning, looked at the lineage of my Spring egg, and thought my monitor colours were off, all the Springs being too bright. I guess it has to do with more different colour shades being necessary, so if you start at the old colour you end up being brighter through the many layers, but shouldn't it be possible to keep the overall hue the same ? (A muted light-blue instead of a bright one, and so on) ? Apart from the "slimmer, brighter, shiny" issue (which may not be avoidable) I'm really impressed by the careful and well done update our Reds and Seasonals got. The new sprites on their own are beaufiful ! Share this post Link to post

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they are a reference to the Power Rangers xD By the way, I think I encountered a glitch in the trading hub xD this is on mobile. I don't have the means to look at how things are in desktop version atm. This is an offer I made on a trade; at first I offered 3 eggs, but it started looking like this at some point. I canceled then offered four eggs instead, but... It got stuck looking like this o_o (First time trying to upload an image here, I hope it works).

They just look so much more defined, like a blurry image coming into focus - & for someone with crap vision like mine, I know what I'm talking about . And I get a kick out of being able to pick out actual scales on the Reds hide now. Yeah, the details are magnificent! Share this post Link to post

Since he typically keeps one of each new breed as a freezie, this just tells us that these don't have dimorphism. I think. Share this post Link to post
