Posted June 21, 2010 I've had two fail. But they were gifts, so maybe if you influence and then abandon them it can mess up the influence? Share this post Link to post
Posted June 21, 2010 never had an influence fail but i rly rly need a male pink to influence male eggs i only have two gurls DX Share this post Link to post
Posted June 23, 2010 Not yet, but as I understand it works better the younger the egg is. Though I could be mistaken. THIS. At least it seems that way to me. There might also be a lower chance on rares / unbreedables (and pinks *LOL*) judging by the posts on this thread. I have never had a fail that I am sure about. Usually, I influence my eggs almost as soon as I get them. Also, as I understand, originally influence 'wore off' when abandoned or traded. But my kid got an egg off the AP that showed up as 'influenced' when she tried to influence it. I don't know if it gendered properly or not, as we have no way of knowing which way it was influenced - but as it turns out, it gendered like she wanted it. Presumably trading an egg could mess with the possibilities. That's my 2 cents ... Share this post Link to post
Posted June 26, 2010 I've had two fail. But they were gifts, so maybe if you influence and then abandon them it can mess up the influence? Actually, as I understand it, anything done to the egg (influencing, incubate) is lost when the egg is abandoned. I've had one failure and I use Influence a lot. I used it and then followed up with an Earthquake, which caused the egg to hatch. I think that had something to do with it. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 26, 2010 I've had one failure and I use Influence a lot. I used it and then followed up with an Earthquake, which caused the egg to hatch. I think that had something to do with it. I've had a different experience with influence. I've had at least one or two eggs that I got off the AP that I tried to influence and were told that they had already been influenced. I don't know if it was a glitch or what, but I know the eggs had plenty of time to be influenced. Maybe the eggs didn't know they were supposed to lose their influence once they were abandoned.

Posted June 26, 2010 Mine have never failed, but I wonder what the failure rate is... Share this post Link to post
Posted August 15, 2010 Mine hasn't failed yet, as far as I know. What I'm wondering is . . . how often does it fail without us ever knowing? There must be times when it fails, but the dragon genders correctly anyway. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 15, 2010 I never have, but my friend said that every time she's tried to influence, it failed. She's starting to think her dragon is secretly a male. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 15, 2010 I've had influence fail twice, but in both cases the egg was influenced with not a lot of time left before hatching. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 15, 2010 Ive influenced about 20 times, and only 1 failure. Been pretty lucky I suppose Share this post Link to post
Posted August 15, 2010 Never had a failure, but then again, I've only influence once. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 15, 2010 It seems to be failing more often for me lately, but I am sure that is just bad luck. I have had two fails in the last couple of weeks! But I use the influence a lot and it is mostly pretty reliable. It has made building even gen lineages much, much easier! Share this post Link to post
Posted August 15, 2010 I have only had a couple of failures. The last was a pink I really need another pink female for influencing purposes, but it gendered male(pink rebel) However, the fail rate has a very low percentage,much better than the 50/50 % for uninfluenced dragons.I don't use it to even out scroll stats, just to get proper genders for mates.

Posted August 15, 2010 I've never had influence fail. I just use my Influences to pick the right genders for mates; gender ratios opn my scroll don't matter too much to me. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 15, 2010 Once. I'm happy I didn't name it before the gendering, I was actually sure about my CB white being female. But that didn't happen @____@ Share this post Link to post
Posted August 16, 2010 Only once for me. *Crosses fingers* I have a couple right now I don't want to fail. :-P Share this post Link to post

Posted August 17, 2010 Just got one fail for me! It was a hellfire egg which I influenced to be a male. Share this post Link to post
