August Release

[dancing_serpent]

This egg is covered in pale blue spots. - Alpine
This ashen egg is smooth to the touch. - Forest, Volcano

Note: I've got this information from the Forums, haven't even seen any of them in the biomes yet. Unlike previous releases, the biomes aren't empty, but full of regular eggs, even on the five minute mark. I totally misclicked a Siyat (because "spots"). No idea if that's a glitch and TJ will make some changes again.
ETA: Glitch is fixed, they're dropping again.

Also, there are various new things. Site terms got updated, Trading Hub got pages now, new (biome specific) eggs added to the Market, and there will be more new requierements to the Raffles or something?

Ugh. I totally have ... things going on right now, I may just skip this one. Don't really have the drive to hunt eggs.

They were very easy to catch right after TJ repaired the bug/glitch. Now it's just the Alpine people are concentrating on, Volcano and Forest seem to run easier.

Finally had some time to sit and look at the cave, and it was ridiculously easy to catch 4 from the Alpine, 2 from the Forest, and 2 from Volcano. Only had to wait for the five-minute mark to turn over the Forest eggs, all the others were just sitting there up for grabs. I'm glad it's a simple two-egg release. Probably couldn't have handled anything more.

Wow, the Xenos are pretty cheap! I could buy two already if I wasn't locked with new eggs. Guess I'm going to have to actually start playing again for a while to collect some shards!

They are, aren't they? I admit, I was very surprised. Their prices in the Market are definitely contrary to their trading worth. I wonder if that will change now...

Glad it's only two, but honestly I don't really enjoy releases coming monthly - especially not when they're multiple-breed releases.

Wish TJ would scale it back and give people some time to play the game in other ways; it feels like lately the entire focus has been on new breeds, with no time for lineages or encyclopedia exploration or other forms of DC play. :/

Yeah, my breeding projects have been slowed down because of the new releases. Especially the Siyats with their complicated colour mechanics were a pain in the ass.
