Dragon Cave Discussion Thread

[Anime]

It's what DC users say causes the massive lag you get during big drops like this. Made a while back when the site was really, really slow for no reason, to the point where people were putting all but the necassary on hold because it was so infurating to load a single page. They actually made sprites for it, but it was never added to the site. xD

[xSoappp]

Oh. xD

I saw the Lagmonster sprites in DC forums.

They look pretty cool. ^^

[Tyler.]

I just missed them, I hate having a slow computer D:

[Ruto]

I just managed to grab a second one. :D

[ΩCCΩ]

Oh, I didn't get any valentine egg cuz we have mid-terms this week :(.

 

Edit: 972 people are currently viewing the cave. Wow, just wow...

[Ruto]

It was over 1100 earlier. The cave always gets crowded during holiday releases.

[ΩCCΩ]

At least I bred a Magi and a speckled successfully. Gonna make an army of Magis .

[Garrett*is*cute]

Got my two valentines. :3 Add them to the list please?

[Unstream]

Finally got my two eggs:

 

Took a couple of tries, about 3 minutes worth of attempts, but I finally got it! :D

[xSoappp]

I heard that the new Valentine dragons are called Sweetlings.

Cute name. :3

 

Speaking of names, does the Valentine 09 have a name?

[Anime]

Nope. Their description only calls them Valentine dragons and nothing else seems to have been coined.

[Jikuu]

I didn't get any of the Valentine eggs, this year or last, but that's OK.

 

The better news? It looks like the cave is back to normal!

 

EDIT: Who wants a Blue Dino? Gone!

[xSoappp]

If you still have that Blue Dino, can I have it?

I'm locked at the moment, but one of my Valentines

are supposed to grow up today. ^^

[Anime]

Hey look, it grew up!. Sweetling. Very cute.

[Jikuu]

Sure, Soap, you can have the blue Dino. It looks like you're open right now. PM me with your preferred IM names on which services and we'll try to get together.

 

I know it's technically double posting, but it's been three days. Is that OK? <.< >.>

 

Any idea if the new alt Sweetlings will breed new alt Sweetlings next year, or if all Valentine's '10 eggs will be the normal Sweetlings and thus the alts are super extra rare?

[Anime]

I'm ignoring that only because I'm confused- What are you gonig on about? Alt sweetlings?

 

From the DC wiki's Sweetling page:

"Sweetlings are the male-only breed of dragons given out on Valentine's Day 2010. Each scroll is limited to 2 Sweetlings; any other Sweetling eggs that are obtained are automatically abandoned after 15 minutes. There was a glitch in the early hours of the 14th that caused the eggs to auto-abandon - as an apology, scrolls affected were given alternate-coloured Sweetlings, with the color scheme of black and red instead of pink. These Sweetlings were designed to represent 'Singles Awareness Day', or 'SAD'. Both artists also recieved special alternative colourings of their dragons."

 

I assume this is what you mean? If that's the case, they probably won't be avalible again, but I suppose it is possible.

[Jikuu]

OK, so the black and red Sweetlings are more than likely not to breed more of their particular kind, and we should expect only pink Sweetlings when they breed during Valentine's '11. Maybe I made a mistake in calling them "alts" since they don't result from breeding like the alt Blacks and Vines do. That's good to know. Sorry to confuse you. ^^;

[livvy]

Alt Sweetlings. Major source of drama in the IRC Chat for DC. >_< So glad I don't have to rely on them for my information anymore, as I can now return to the forums! :D

 

Jikuu, I have a Silver for you. Female. Yes?

[xSoappp]

I was looking at the black and red Sweetling's adult sprite

and I noticed that there was a skull on the black Sweetling's

back instead of the heart, which the normal and Kila/Nepherim's sprites have.

 

I dunno. I thought it was pretty cool. ^^

[livvy]

Really? *finds a Black Val and zooms in on its hind end* You're right! That's cool!

[Anime]

As the Wiki said, the black and red ones are ment to embody the Single's Awareness Day aspect of Valentines, likely to account for the fact that those who were affected felt horrible about losing them for no reason. As such, they have a skull, a symbol of evil or otherwise discomfort, rather than the obvious symbol of love.

 

...note to self. Don't explain things after watching Star Trek.

[xSoappp]

Ahh. That makes sense. c:

 

Anyone want a Thunder egg?

I accidentally grabbed it from the cave. o__O

And now I'm locked. D:

[Jikuu]

Sorry I didn't catch you sooner, Livvy. I figured since you caught that one, you were gonna keep it, so I never messaged you about it. Since it grew up, it can be another happy Granger. Thanks anyway!

[xSoappp]

I'm curious. What is your favorite dragon?

 

My favorite is the Neglected dragon.

I've only seen it on Dragon Wiki

but I thought it looked nice.

& I think the female sprite

of the Two-Finned Bluna is cool too. ^^

[Jikuu]

Hmm. I like the Silver, but in the end, it's not very imaginative. I think I like the Guardian's appearance the best. Looks clean, and I like the shield.

 

EDIT: Removed offer, as others have either taken some eggs or have been released so they don't die on my scroll.
