Solstice Wing Color Change

[novembermond]

I only found out today that the wing colors of Solstice Dragons were retroactively changed. They're either blue or the original color depending on when the egg got laid (day/night). That means before I had both sprites, the old one in CBs and the new one in the bred dragons, but now I have only the old sprite. >_< Now I have to wait a whole year to get the blue variant! AND I have to make sure the egg got bred at the right time!

Were your dragons affected by this?

oh, and unrelated: anyone want this pretty Yulebuck/Winter checker? http://dragcave.net/lineage/iNLrH

Only four of my sixteen Solstices turned rosy again, that's a lot less than I had hoped for. I have no use for the blue winged ones, apart from having one or two on my scroll for completion's sake.

But well, four is better than nothing, and that way I could salvage three of my lineages without having to wait a year.

Trading and hunting for Solstices will be a lot more difficult, though, but I'll definitely try.

I don't really care for Solstices so I only had two new ones for sake of having the sprites and both turned.

I think day/night windows are the most complicated.

For me it was very disappointing, because Solstices are the only Christmas breed I really like. So I bred/hunted/traded extensively, before I knew they would have blue wings.

Yeah...I don't know if they plan to implement information on how it will turn out, like with the Day/Night Glories. That would work for me. Otherwise I'd have to trust other players when they tell me "yes, really, I bred that one at night".

...Can't you just count back from the countdown? (Wouldn't work for hatchlings, but for eggs it ought to give you the right time frame, even if incubated.)

That could work, yes, with a lot of concentration on my part. I have to admit I have a hard time keeping DCs day/night time straight.

god I have the same problem. I mostly avoid day/night glories and also sunrise/sunsets. too much fiddling.

[dancing_serpent]

Yes, that. I still haven't finished with my scroll goal for Day Glories simply because of that.
