Luck with GoN

[ragdoll]

How are people doing with these? I have one GoN which I got three years ago. I still haven't summoned a second one, let alone a third. My mom's not managed to summon one yet either.

I've had no luck breeding avatars yet either. First week, I tried Majestica with a CB gold male. Interested, but no egg. The second week, I stupidly tried her with a Spotted Greenwing and got a Spotted Greenwing. This week, I tried her with a Holly, and got 'interested, but no egg' again.

Clearly these GoNs hate me.

Congratulations on your third one! I'm just gobsmacked that I haven't had any luck at all in over three years. Even with the supposed better odds, I'm still s.o.l.

I'm assuming that if/when I get more than one GoN, I might have better luck at breeding something. Right now it's like pulling teeth because I have one shot once a week, and it's been fail, might-as-well-be-a-fail (since it's a Spotted Greenwing -- the only cool thing is at least it's a 2nd Gen from a GoN parent, right?), and another big fat fail.

This game should not upset me so much. :p I wasn't even bothered by the fact that this was our only Birthday present since I figured "in a week or two, I'll have an egg".

I feel worse for my mom who isn't having any luck at Summoning, although she did nab a Avatar egg from someone on the Departures thread so she's in better shape that I am. :)

Thanks! I really wasn't expecting to get my 3rd GoN so soon. It was a year to get my first one, almost another year to get my second -- I figured it would take another year to get my third. I'd started collecting more Thunders and Ices (I already have zillions of Magmas, they're one of my favorite dragons) to try to up my trio sets and increase my chances. Now I can breed trios for others instead.

It is too bad that the birthday celebration was a frustration for so many people who haven't been able to summon GoNs after all these years. I expect Avatars, at least, will become a bit easier to come by after people have bred/traded for their own scroll goals.

I don't know why it's taken me so long. I mean a year, okay? Three years? Come on now! When TJ announced he'd upped the chances, I was sure I'd finally get the second one and...nope. Clearly the Powers of Thunder, Lava and Ice have something against me. LOL

I don't have a zillion. I currently have 7 Ice, 8 Magma and 8 Thunders. I like them, but not to overrun my scroll with them. Clearly I have to keep making more.

I wasn't upset by the birthday celebrations since it seemed like it would pay off in the long run, and after last year's insanity (which I had to take time out of a weekend with my best friend to keep up), it was kind of nice to have something more relaxed. I know it's only been 3 weeks and I should be patient, but I've seen a lot of people being able to Summon and breed on the forums, and was wondering if it was just me having issues. Apparently yes! :p

Well, I know how you feel. It's always hard to see other people get the new eggs when you can't get any. I know I've been lucky, but it didn't feel that way two weeks ago when my summon failed, AND both of my GoNs gave me no egg!

I just figured that breeding/catching more trios was something I could do to feel like I was doing *something* to increase my chances, instead of waiting two weeks and pushing a button. I've currently got 10 Thunders, 11 Ices and 47 Magmas. I don't know how much it increases the chances to have more sets, but it doesn't hurt!
