Matchmaking

[dancing_serpent]

So, matchmaking is finished, and our hoards are now viewable to all. What did you think of the event? I liked it, but I was a bit disappointed that we only had the same items to decorate with every day, and no new ones were added.

I'm happy with the mate that stayed, though, a Shadow Walker. For a while other breeds appeared that I didn't like so much. The Golden Wyvern looked great in the colour combination, but I don't like the females very much. Although I would have been fine with the Red Copper. I admit, the event did give me a few inspirations for breeding. (I just have to finish my project with the Teimarrs first.)

Take a look! This is Thorin in his hoard. Not really Erebor, I would have needed much much more gold for this, and I used up all my shinies to even get so far. And I know, Legolas and Thranduil don't wear blue and have way longer hair, but for me it's them in the cages anyway. *G*

Show me your hoards?

I liked it for a day or two, then I got bored. Like you mentioned, same stuff every day. I knew based on visitors what dragons I wanted to attract for my boy, and what they desired. I decorated that way, she visited once or twice a day. And then my cb yulebuck got paired at the end with a canopy. Who had never shown up once the whole event. So disappointed.

I hated the way stuff layered. It was so off. Visiting females had their heads crammed between the wall decorations and wall. And for the most part they always faced away from each other.

I stuck a squid on the canopys head. :p If I'd had time after work I would have buried her completely in other items.

I miss the previous years stuff. You could send stuff all day long, it was fun. This was just like decorate, wait 24 hours, then decorate again, more waiting. Plus it was implied the visiting females were to give you an idea of what to do to garner the attention of the final female you'd like for your guy, and from all I've read that was not the case.

Yeah, my Shadow Walker only showed up once before, while other breeds showed up more frequently. On the other hand, I didn't decorate with a certain mate in mind, just what I wanted to use - only magic and shinies - and when I got bored of that because no new things, I finally added some meat and sweets as well.

The layering was weird. In some places it worked, in others not. I actually cleared a space on the right after the first female appeared, so that her hear wouldn't be hidded under mana crystals. And yes, they're facing away from each other. It would have been better if their positions were reversed.

I liked the previous years better, too. One of the best events ever in my opinion was last years flower garden. Collecting seeds, planting them, watching them grow, and then gift them away and write little notes - that was awesome! So much to do, and so pretty!
