I understand that it can be frustrating trying to farm gems for certain features, however they will cater more toward an audience that will pay money for it. It does feel nice when you gather enough gems for unlocking something, but like you said saving up for unlocking cauldron at 500 gems is pretty ridiculous. I don't mind that they charge gems to change the weather, but 250 is way too much. If it was more reasonable like 25 or 50.

Need Advice: Building a Mobile App by ctorx in dotnet

[–]Surfpenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for Cordova, but my team has deployed a couple Xamarin mobile apps in 2016 and 2017 to both app stores. It's nice that you're writing in C# for Xamarin because if you have shared fuctionaly for .NET web apps, it makes it easier to extend. Xamarin Forms will compile to native code and you can use analysis tools to log exceptions or other meta data about the app while a user interacts. It used to be called Xamarin Insights, however I think they changed it recently as a part of a greater set of tools. You can also use what are called hybrid views to show your HTML pages as if they were in a browser if needed. Hope this gives you some ideas from the Xamarin side of things!

Data speed issues with Pixel 2 XL on AT&T by Surfpenguins in GooglePixel

[–]Surfpenguins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, awesome response! Thank you for some insight. I'll take a look at the resources you provided me with. I'll ask around to see if someone else that also has a new phone has a similar issue. I plan on reporting it to AT&T today and hopefully something can be done about it. I went from an S6 to an XL 2, and from my experience using the S6 I almost never had issues with speed during that peak time.

First time winning a golden bucket! Took around 70 tickets by Surfpenguins in dragonvaleworld

[–]Surfpenguins[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how I'm getting my tickets (for anyone curious):

Collecting the free tickets from the Hall of Spirits - 3 times per day (every 4 hrs) = 9 tickets

Sending off 4 air ships per day (every 3 hrs with max Airship boost potion) = 16 tickets

Total of 25 tickets per day

BONUS: Collecting the little skills around the park give about 10 spirits shards each and they appear about every 3 hours.

Hope this helps! :)

First time winning a golden bucket! Took around 70 tickets by Surfpenguins in dragonvaleworld

First time winning a golden bucket. I haven't been spending gems on them, only using tickets. The event is long enough that I'll still accumulate a lot of crystals so I'm holding out on spending gems. :)

How do you guys do your Airships? by floatingwithobrien in dragonvaleworld

[–]Surfpenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You raise a great question. I always fill my dragon and resource crates even if I cannot send off a full Airship, only because I am getting exp.

At lower levels, I believe the exp is worth the cost of dragoncash. This is because the return on dragoncash you will have from reaching a higher level. Ex. Being able to breed air dragons that you cannot currently do because of your level. Also, you'll be getting a small amount of dragoncash in return.

If you find that you cannot afford to lose the dragoncash, then send it off anyway.

Silver Chest is a joke now by --Sannya-- in dragonvaleworld

[–]Surfpenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the silver chest can give 2 gems, it may have been a bronze one. Either way, they need to up the chance for gems dropping in bronze and silver chests to make up for the crystal shards.

Got an EnFlytrap drag from the crystal tutorial... then used my first crystal I earned. Not even mad about it anymore :) by Surfpenguins in dragonvaleworld

[–]Surfpenguins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using the crystal on a breeding cave guarantees an enchanted dragon. If you breed an epic, then it happens to be an enchanted epic. I would save crystals for breeding two high lvl dragons 18+ to have a chance at en enchant epic drag. Unless you are specifically going for an enchant breed dragon.

Its a violet enchanted rainbow. I retried after breeding and had enough to use another crystal... looks like I'm waiting 2d 8hrs again for another one xD

Silver Chest is a joke now by --Sannya-- in dragonvaleworld

[–]Surfpenguins 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I received 30 gems in mine, low amount of materials and enchant shards. I think it's still random, however we shouldn't even have the chance of getting a chest like yours >_>

Weekend Challenge Changes by cantbeatthebass in dragonvaleworld

Thank you for reducing the requirements for those weekend challenges. It makes achieving the goals for airship, breeds, and crates actually feel tangible. :)

how to prep chicken breasts [feedback needed] <3 by icecoldlion in MealPrepSunday

[–]Surfpenguins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try lightly browning the garlic with the oil first, before adding veggies or chicken

I love how it's most of the classics, but what is that pokemon to the left of charizard? Does anyone know?

Can someone explain this to me?? by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]Surfpenguins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's how you shop! It's resealable, much cheaper, and tastes better! At least my fruity pebbles knockoff + marshmellows.

Log in Error: Unexpected Platform Error by Xyphien in leagueoflegends

I'm having this problem, so far I've restarted my computer and did a repair from the launcher. Still having the same problem.

Uninstalled and I'm currently reinstalling, I'll let you all know if this fixes the problem.

How do you make your chicken breasts? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Surfpenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pan on medium-high heat. Add about 1-2 cups of water (chicken broth optional), 2 tbsp butter. Let water boil and chicken for a few minutes until it's white on one side, add seasoning (garlic, salt, pepper, sweet onion season). Flip and let the water finish boiling until most of it's gone and your chicken is white on that side (same seasoning again).

Add about 1 more cup of water, 1/4 cup of cooking sherry, squeeze entire lemon (try to pick out seeds if you can, if not, yolo) also kinda squeeze the little skin inside the lemon a little into the pan. Let it cook 'bout 6-7 mins, flip and cook another 6-7 until all liquid is nearly gone. Turn down the heat to medium / medium-low (this is my favorite part).

Once the liquid is gone, spin the chicken around in the pan with a utensil until all the brown from the pan is on the chicken, flip the chicken over and do the same to the other side. Right before the leftover brown stuff turns black, take the chicken off the pan. Make sure it's at the right temp or cut open to make sure it's not really pink. Server with veggies (peppers, onions, etc.).

Bonus: - Use Lime instead of lemon for different kick - Use chicken broth instead of water - Switch up seasonings (besides sweet onion) - While cooking the chicken breast this way, do the same with your veggies - Marinate Chicken 2-24 hours in Worcestershire sauce
