▆▇█ ▌How to Train your Dragon FC ▌█▇▆ -NEW POLL Nov/9/23-

Hm....
Maybe I'll do a Drawing that does a bit of both, than.
*NodNod*

So, with the Trailer for the Next season of Voltron Being out, I'm going to take a guess that Race to the Edge shouldn't be to far behind.
I hope we do get the new episode soon, considering they left us with a huge Cliffhanger.
I mean, tbh we know it'll be fine by the time of the second movie, but still!

So...
Let's play a game of "Guess which clouds came from a screenshot of Hiccup!"

[Springtalon]

Is this a trick question and they both did?

Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I've been having computer troubles. Also, I play SoD, and my username there is SmokeStryke. I couldn't decide between Smothering Smokebreath and Triple Stryke, so I combined them. Speaking of SoD, does anyone know why you don't get dragon eggs from quests that give you them sometimes? I've had to delete characters because I complete quests like the Deathsong quest and I don't get the Razorwhip or the Deathsong.

No tricks, you have to Legit guess! xD

Computer troubles? Yikes. Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt and ain't gonna wear it. pffffff.
((My Laptop once had a virus that caused it to fake a hard drive failure....no thanks. xD))

Not so sure about not getting eggs, but I have a bone to pick with them about leaving certain quest lines open.
There's a quest line, I think it started with either Fishlegs or Snotlout, But you get redirected to Eret, and then to Johan.
Basically, it's a quest to bring a little frozen Gronkle back to it's home. Which you can't do, unless you have the expansion that get's you the home of said Gronkle.

Like, No other MMORPG I've played has ever left an expansion exclusive quest line open like that.
So now I'm stuck with a quest that hiccup won't shut up about, because I don't have the 800 gems to get the expansion for the stupid thing.

Is it the pic on the left?

That's part of the reason I don't play SoD anymore...well, that and my internet sucks when it comes to games like that

I was so tired of open quests that I just bought membership.

I figured out the problem with getting dragons. If it gives me the "can't connect to the internet" box then it won't give me my prize, and when I get a new dragon, I have to have that dragon active, close the game, then re-open it, or it'll just give me the original version of that dragon without a name. It's really weird. I tried re-installing the game, but I don't have a dragon yet, so I don't know if it'll fix anything.

@sparkypony

Hah, yup, the left! ^^

@Tankie

I'd consider buying a Membership if I had the money to.
Or a better device to play the game on (My poor phone can only handle so much).
I mean I can get the 800 gems for that expansion in like..pfff....3 months maybe if I log in every day to get my daily bonuses.
But it doesn't help that one gem earning feature (video) is permanently broken, and the other only works half of the time.
The game owes me around 150 gems for completing tasks; they were never awarded to my account, and all I had to do was download some dumb apps I ended up getting rid of. Only reason I can think of for why is that I did the tasks on a separate device, but it had worked two times previous to that.

------

I mean, all things considered, the game is /far/ from perfect, but it /is/ a nice game.
I enjoy being able to interact with the characters, especially ones we only know so much of, like Eret.
They kind of ruined Heather, though. Would have liked to see her with a more....Fight oriented job? I mean, she's just as much, if not more so, of a fighter than Astrid, so it seems more than a little odd for her job to be science based. And I'm no viking expert, but while I'm sure they used certain aspects of science when navigating and whatnot, I highly doubt they were of the level or even concerned with the science behind making baking soda volcano's (which I say purely as an example, because again, I doubt even in this universe that that's important or relevant). Also, what's with the totally elementary school dialogue?....

Ahem...Derailed a bit there. (Honestly I could probs rant about SoD!Heather for days....)
But yes, Interaction with Characters. Even if it is just "lol do my dirty work n00b".
My favourite thing so far has been Astrid's Yaknog quest; with Hiccup kind of jumping in like "Astrid that's cute but no".
Close seconds would have to be just about any quest you get from Ruff n' Tuff, just because it usually involves more than them, and everyone else's dialogue gets to be pretty interesting depending on what they've done.

@Noni:

Ah, Heather. A pretty cool but also a bit OP and a little too Mary-Sue-ish tragic-past-dead-parents-mysterious-secret-brother-powerful-dark-could-be-a-bad-guy-ey. God, SoD just butchered her character.

First of all, the baking soda quest. Vikings had no hydrochloric acid, no baking soda, and very little of anything that even resembled vinegar.

Next, the blue flame quest. Toblachite is found in eastern Russia, Sylvite is found in Mexico, Canada, and some states in the US, but at least they had rock salt from the ocean. But how in the actual crap did they get Toblachite? (unless they went from Scandinavia to eastern Russia via dragon and took months to get there, let alone the long journey back) I guess theoretically they could find Toblachite, but the Americas were discovered, officially, well after the time of the Vikings. Granted, they probably sailed/flew there at some point, but why would they bring back enough sylvite to be able to use it so willy-nilly? Tobalchite is OBVIOUSLY the only rock that will burn blue. Also, sylvite can burn both purple and peachy-pink. I give zero craps about how badly I spelled the names of these things.

Also, spectroscopes (the spectrometers used for the rock experiment and a couple others), were invented in 1859 by a German physicist, and the vikings lived from 700-1100 AD.

SoD just ruined Heather for everyone, and a lot of Astrid's quests are mundane and doing the same thing from everyone else's quest but with uninteresting new dialogue.

Also, THE GIANT CLIFFHANGER AT THE END OF THE FOG QUEST. I would rant about it, but I don't want to spoil it.

Now we move on to the glitches in quests. If, for example, you're gathering something, and you move over to a different quest then come back to your first one, it'll tell you that you've got what you need, but when you go to the person you have to give them to, it tells you that you have to come back with the thing it just claimed you gathered.

And I'm not even starting on the open questlines that require expansions or membership. But I very much could.

Well, there's my four-hour rant. If you actually read this through, then have fun with the overload of science that I just threw in your face.

[Noni Gailin Ayrenin~]

@Tankie

I mean, I still think I'd take Mary-sue Series Heather over SoD Heather. xD
And yes, the Vikings did set foot in the Americas, just about half a millennium /before/ Columbus, but that's a different rant.
((It was Leif Eriksson, and Columbus Needs beaten with a particularly large stick. ...Ahem...))

Like I said, I doubt nearly half of what we do with Heather is even /remotely/ historically accurate. Which is saying a lot, considering the Creative license the Franchise already takes with Hiccups...Inventions. o.O And Modifications to his foot.....
((Speaking of his foot though, he made it so that only he can fly Toothless. The saddle was modified to fit the thin attachment on his foot so /how/ did Draggo fly Toothless?.....And wouldn't it have taken him forever to figure out how it worked, that same why it did for Hiccup (and he built the damn thing!)......))

..I went on a mini tangent....Anyway xD
I've Noticed that when you run more than one Quest at a time, it confuses the Characters.
Like, If I run a quest for Astrid, and She takes me to Hiccup, Hiccup is going to act as though I'm still actively running the Gronkle quest I mentioned. I have to tap on him a couple of times to prompt the correct response. Pfff, one quest, I was trying to give him something from his mother, and he seemed /very/ insistent on having me mess with the Gronkle instead. Like..R00D Hiccup. xD
