Moon phase has changed!

According to the DC clock feature, the moon phase is now "waning crescent" instead of "waning gibbous".

Haven't seen any new moon-eggs yet, but I figured everyone might want to know.

Good news - they are now dropping like a new release would, so either it was planned that way and something was buggy, or enough people complained and it was changed. So there should be some for you to catch, with any luck!

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up. :)

Any guess at the next moon phase change? I'm worried of locking at 7 tonight, and it changes and I'm stuck.

Well, the release began on 8/29, and the phase changed on 9/1, so there's a minimum of 2 days per phase... hope everybody has a lot of Reds for incubating!

I'm kind of wondering, given the odd trickle-->flood appearance of these eggs, if their commonality is waxing and waning with the moon phase! If so, today's flood should indicate the midway point of the phase cycle... Two days doesn't seem like much of a lunar cycle, so hopefully it's 4-5 days (and the initial release was started midway through the waning gibbous phase).

I have no sure data, though!

I like your theory, it makes a lot of sense. I really do hope that first was done mid phase, because just two days in between would be crazy short, and man the chaos it would cause would be nuts if it were a real place. :p Even with a ton of reds, if it is two days there will be no way to get max of each color during its first release I don't think. My brain is mush this week so I could be, and most likely am wrong.
