Crystal Dragon Eggs

Wondering Why I Get Multiples Of Crystal Dragons When Making Crystal Eggs, That I Already Own. Being Blunt, I Drop About $50-$75 A Month On This Game, So I Don’t Think It’s Unreasonable To Expect A Different Crystal Dragon With Each Constructed Egg. Really Simple To Code Those Variations In. Also, Given Dragonite Is A Stupidly Precious Commodity In This Game, That I’ve Only Been Able To Earn In Game, By Getting Lucky On The Dungeons, Or Getting The Item That Makes A Dragonite Imp Appear (3×, For Each) You Should Make It More Available. :ok_hand:

own fault. :wink:

…but if you’re really dropping that much money you should be able to exchange gems into daily dragonite really fast and therefore you’ll have everything you desire pretty fast.

If it just brings you misery, maybe it’s better to stop.

Nah. Gems Of That Number Run Pretty Hefty Prices. It Is My Own Fault. That Doesn’t Cover For Rigged Coding Systems Though. Which We All Know It Is.

Community data says otherwise. (consults spreadsheet) Let’s see … I haven’t updated my data analysis in a while but across 745 Gem Dragon Eggs crafted by 78 different users, the distribution per dragon is 107-138 (vs. mean value = 124), which is actually a pretty even spread.

But yes, the system feels bad and everybody agrees on this – heck, even the devs have been told this, albeit they obviously exist on the other side of the communications curtain so we don’t know what kinds of conversations occur on the design side or what specific plans to improve it might be announced soon.

I swear I don’t mean this to be snarky, but how do you spend that much a month on this game? I spend some money on it, too but I can’t imagine what would be worth spending that much on.

That said, I agree that the dragonite thing is annoying and I wish they’d at least cap it at 4 already. And I say that as a person who has the 6 dragons - I still would prefer that they fix it for everyone else.

Easy. I Do The Ring Of Wonder Each Month, (19.99) Path To Glory 1, (14.99), Then The Shrines As I Complete Them, Usually 3-4 A Month. (9.99-3/4).

My Main Salt About This Is I’ve Actually Had Some Killer Draws, I’ve A Bunch Of Mythics, Right Off The Bat. But I Have 3 Garnetaerlins, 3 Sapphirax, And 1 Amethialas. So Out Of 7 Eggs, I’ve Landed Multiples Of The Same Two.

Respect. I couldn’t do that. Wait till you start adding on Campaign Passes, Kingdom Passes and maybe even Legends Reborn

I see now. Personally, I won’t spend money on anything that I could just get via farming, but I also have a decent amount of free time right now.

My final tally of dragons was 4, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1, so by all accounts I had really good luck. But every duplicate was definitely irksome.

I Don’t Do Any Of The Kingdom Stuff. I DO Buy The Elite Pass When They Do The Artifact Thing, Because Once I Pass 1K, Two Opportunities To Score More Dragonite. I’m A Dragon Hoarder. I Have About 85% Of The Dragons In Game. :sweat_smile:

I Work 8:30-Midnight 5 Days A Week. I Usually Do The Dungeons And Adventure Board On My Lunch Breaks, And Wars/Faction Assaults/Delves Etc When I Get Home. When I Started I Had More Free Time. Hence The Frustration Of Grinding And Eeking Out Dragonite For Duplicates. No Lie Though, My Dragon Team And Dragon Defense For PVP Are Pretty OP.

For the record, I personally work 40 hours a week which means I literally can’t play for more than about 4 hours a day (and 1-2 hours when I can help it).

Make that 758 eggs across 79 users. (If have any known craft dates for specific dragons I’d love to log that too, but thanks for the data point all the same!)

There are a mysterious crystal dragon eggs troop (in the spoiler) from silverglade planned to be out on september. I wonder if they are linked somehow to a system can help players to craft specific dragon color gems

Very unlikely, it looks like just another regular weekly glory troop. Possibly a variant of Dragon Eggs that summons a random gem dragon instead of any random dragon.

Like, "test these gem dragons untraited, you could have them if you spend / buy dragonite … "
:fearful:

There are six different dragons available per egg, and this number will remain.
There are about thirty different troops available per Cedric, and this number climbs every two months.
There are almost thousand of different other troops available per chest type, with the number climbing weekly.

If you ask me, which of those drop chances has the least need to be improved…

probably Cedric. Vault Keys are plentiful if the player participates in the Vault Event.

Well, you can of course argue, that every ressource is there in unlimited amount for free, if the player just runs explore 1 for 16+ hours a day to grab gnomes and angels.
It’s just, that this way of “playing” is even less fun than the regular stuff, which is why I do not count vault event binge runs either.

Sometimes I wonder, if there are players here, who would be or even are willing to pay some fellows in China or Pakistan to play for them. Can’t be that much more expensive.

I’ve suggested before that you should be able to spend 1000 Dragonite to pick a dragon of your choice (or even 1500, something that allows members to pick one). Another suggestion is to allow trading Duplicates, lets say 5 duplicates of a single dragon to pick the dragon of your choice.

I’m after Rubirath and keep getting duplicates:
Amethialas (4)
Emeraldrin (2)
Garnetaerlin (4)
Saphhirax (1)
Topasarth (1)
Ring of Crystal Ice (1)

Alternatively, what if you could disenchant Gem Dragons for Dragonite instead of Souls?
