Flight Rising Discussion

[quote]Will there ever be sets of genes split in separate areas? Such as one treasure and the other gems or one brew and the other drop or will they always be paired in the same way to acquire?[/quote] In regards to matching primary/secondary genes, they will never be split across the gem marketplace. A split across Swipp/Baldwin or treasure/Swipp or treasure/Coliseum etc is possible, but unlikely to happen. [br][br] [quote]Recently it was mentioned that you guys were working to an update to the coli. However, a while back you also stated that you were starting on updates to the AH. Is there a specific order you want to launch updates for these two areas of the site, or are you working on them in parallel, and are not sure which will launch first?[/quote] We can't go into details, but we can say while they're at different phases of development, they're being worked on in parallel by separate engineers. [br][br] [quote]Can dragons sense one another's flights just by being around each other, or do they have to look at eye color or see each other's battle moves?[/quote] Unless a dragon is actively using their elemental abilities, another dragon may not be able to tell what Element they are without visual confirmation. [br][br] [quote]Do you guys ever have dreams about FR? I'd love to hear what kind of crazy stuff your brains have worked up after working so hard on this site day in and day out.[/quote] [b]Aequorin:[/b] [br][img]https://media1.giphy.com/media/11fxhMPSRtnbTa/200.gif[/img] [b]Undel:[/b] Dreams have included: [list] [*]Deleting all of the image directories while moving them, and realizing we only had backups for half of the artwork. Trying for the rest of the dream to contact artists to find missing files. [*]Putting a Skyrim screenshot in dropbox for storage, then having another admin think it was artwork and upload it to the game as official content. Later evolved into a courtroom drama. [*]Finding unlicensed [i]Flight Rising[/i] merchandise in stores, including: Spiral dragon pool noodles, [i]Flight Rising[/i] sand pails, water guns shaped like the different dragon breed heads, and patterned swimsuits. For some reason all the merch was summer-related.[/list] [br][br] [quote]As admins, do you secretly giggle behind your monitors when you give away a subtle hint of foreshadowing an upcoming update yet no one quite realizes it yet?[/quote] All. The. Time. [br][br] [quote]Why reject a Dragon with a Wyvern like body?[/quote] This is a design decision we ultimately had to make to ensure our dragons and apparel remained consistent and usable game-wide. [br][br] [quote]Does running the site ever get taxing for you guys? I notice every update comes with a hand full of people who just cannot be satisfied. Are y'all okay :(?[/quote] Game design involves making sure decisions made are done so with the best long-term interests of the game and community both in mind and at heart. Sometimes this means something may be added, removed, or changed and not everyone will be okay with it. This is a part of game design and you do the best you can.
