New egg speculation

[jocosa]

Soooo ...

Looking at the news thread, some people are hatching their new eggs using EQ. And so far, even with eggs from both Alpine and Forest they've all hatched Green. So seems the biome caught in may not affect the color?

What'cha think? Color affected by time of day hatched or caught? Ones a hybrid? Other thoughts on what may affect the color you end up with when it hatches?

I really liked the S1 stage, it was really cute. I'm not as big a fan of S2. Looks like a begging dog, which is cute in a dog, but I want my dragons to look like dragons. :P

The fact that nobody has hatched a yellow one yet makes me suspect they're breed-only. If it's time of day, we should be in the yellow window now (if they're using 6 PM to 6 AM Cave time). Well, I'll be watching the News thread to see if anybody figures anything out -- I'm not going to EQ mine, so they won't hatch before tomorrow morning anyway.

Ok, so it's not a sunset/sunrise thing. I tried that and still got all greens, from both biomes. So I'm back to a breed only alt like Blacks and Vines, or a Hybrid. Now it's just a waiting game I guess. No way it's a CB at this point, unless it is some super rare egg, which I hope it isn't.

Yeah, even if it were rare, you'd think somebody would have gotten one by now if they were CB, and I've seen nothing but greens in the fansites. I'm betting it's a breed-only alt. Guess now we have to wait until they grow up and we can breed some.

Somebody was suggesting it might be related to how long it takes to hatch, so incubating it would make it be green. The first non-incubated ones will be hatching in a couple of hours, so we'll see if that theory holds. (What if you only get yellow ones from holding them under three days... wonder how long it will take for somebody to figure that out? Heh. We're all too impatient! I caught an eighth egg after my first batch hatched, and didn't incubate it, so I might test it out with that one. )
