Board Thread:Dragon Story Breeding/@comment-24557659-20140217024233

I've noticed a lot of discussion going on about people only breeding commons, or unable to breed new dragons, lately.

The theme running through it seems to be this: people are breeding the same dragons together, or breeding FOR the same dragon, but are getting crappy results.

I myself spent a week and a half trying to get Hanukkah while it was out, and the only dragon I got was Mist. I probably got 15 or 20 of them and two rainbows. Trying to breed diamond, in a dozen or so tries I got probably 10 Firestorms. In fact, I feel like whenever I start to tunnel vision my results get worse; I get something good in the first three tries or not at all.

Lately, I changed colors in my nest a little every breed, and in five breeds got three new dragons: Scorpion, Leopard, and Owl.

Yes, it's a lot on just luck. But I have the sneaking suspicion that there's actually a penalty imposed on odds if it thinks you're chain-breeding for a dragon.

This thread is to test something out:

If you've been chain-breeding one set of parents or swapping parents but still attempting to get the same dragon, and are having bad luck-

Try to breed something else for three rounds, then swap back. Let us know how it turned out! Post your previous luck, what the three eggs from the "break" turned out to be (and what other dragon you tried for, if you had one in mind), and your luck after going back to trying for the original dragon.

I know this may be a pain with all the short-term dragons available, but it's for those of us that are FED UP!

I may be right, I may be wrong, but I won't be sure until there's data from other people. :)
