Hey guys. I've just introduced a change that I've been working on for a while. While I'd love to write paragraphs on just how amazing I am, and the beautiful wonder that is this new feature, I think I'd probably bore you. The long and short of it is this:

Instead of refreshing every five seconds, or every two seconds, or every one second, the stream is now updated instantaneously and constantly. While the change isn't particularly visible now, in times when the stream is very active, say immediately after a release, it will be quite noticeable. If ten different eggs are taken out of the stream over a one second time span, you will see each individual change as it happens instead of all ten changing at once. If that doesn't make any sense, it's because it's 3:13am!

That sounds really cool. Now we just need a new release so we can really see it in action :D

Oh, cool. o:
I always thought that The Stream's refresh was instantaneous. It seemed that way, to me at least. (Though when I think about recently, I do see where there was a delay.) I just thought that when lots of eggs changed at once instead of one-by-one as taken from The Stream, it was my computer lagging/not keeping up with how many people were Stream-catching at one time.

Thank you for the new feature/update/change! :3

Neat!

But... is the stream supposed to be frozen right now? O.o

Is it just me or, is the stream stopped flowing? The eggs are just sitting there. D:

It's not just you, though it's not staying frozen for me. It freezes when I first load it, and then after a minute or so, it finally starts moving. I was wondering if it was just me :derp:

Oh! Yes now it's moving, after I sat on the page for awhile. c:

Worse than before.. If I adopt an egg when hunting smth in the stream it loads for less than a second but the second egg I try to get [5 deers till now] loads for like 5-7 sec and i never get the egg.
