And so it begins ...

Day 1 of DC Bday Madness.

Per TJ's News post.

"It’s Dragon Cave’s eighth birthday! To commemorate what is an eternity in internet years, today there’s an amazing new update:

You can now breed Guardians of Nature with other dragons. That’s right, they’re breedable. But don’t get the wrong idea here, you aren’t going to get more of these legendary dragons from breeding. Instead, the offspring have a chance to be one of three new breeds: The Avatars of Creation, Destruction, and Change.

Which Avatar you receive from breeding depends on a new attribute of breeds called their elemental affinity. There will be more information on the element system later (including as part of the encyclopedia), so for now, you just need to know that each breed may be aligned with one of the three avatars, and breeding with a Guardian of Nature has a chance to breed that avatar.

Oh, and the limit on Guardians of Nature will be going up to three. Enjoy!"

Most people are breeding and getting nada, so a lot of grumbling. Also, as of now, based on comments on the post, the summon option for that third one is not showing up yet.

Me, I'm waiting. I can do this at anytime. Keeping slots open for the next 6 nights, and what is to come. I'm sure there will be hybrids as well, but the more slots I have for new eggs from the cave, the better.

Although I really don't want to go through last year's stress again, I hope there is something more to this birthday. As it is, it seems very elitist, geared only towards older players. You need to have at least one each of the three legendaries, then you have to have been lucky enough to successfully summon a GoN, and only then you might be lucky enough to get an egg when breeding your dragon with no clue regarding what works. Ragdoll's mum hasn't managed to Summon a GoN and she has been playing for a long time, so she is not invited to the party, I suppose most newbies are in the same boat (and by newbies I mean anybody that started playing within the last year or two). Not fair in my opinion.

I agree 100% on this. It is excluding a lot of people, and disappointing a lot of newbies who are here for their first DC birthday. It shuts almost all of them out of it.

Plus how wonderful for those people who froze their second GoN as a hatchie, knowing it would never be able to breed.

While I was hoping he would NOT do a massive release and am glad he didn't, I think this was not a well thought out event.
