Flight Rising Discussion

[center]Hello! I'm Catradora, and I've been working hard on a suggestions thread for the new eyes, since there's been a lot of outcry (at least from my perspective) over them. I know that my usual polls attract a player base which is upset, so I'd like to provide players who aren't upset about the update to get their voice heard, so I can re-evaluate my results appropriately and eliminate some of the bias which is present in any poll. To this end I have made (yet another) poll on the subject. Regardless of how you feel about the update, I would really appreciate hearing from you about how you feel. I'll be drawing comments from these results to add your point of view to my suggestions thread. [size=4][url=https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdrvUZKs2gCWVZyWu6r-Pj7yK22RiOuAdhcr3mxyHUX9EqDkg/viewform?usp=pp_url]Click here for the survey.[/url][/size] [size=2] [i]Yes, I am aware this is a biased poll. I have designed it this way as an exact counterpoint to the opposing 'camp'. I will endeavour to make any future polls on the subject less biased. The wording of the fourth question is a known issue and will be corrected in future polls.[/i] [/size] Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to fill this in for me. I appreciate all the feedback I get, and hope to help the community bridge the gap between the differing opinions. Finally, please don't hesitate to respond to this thread! I'm interested to hear what you have to say. [size=2]As a side note: My goal here is to make a calm and concise suggestions thread, which gives a clear idea of the different viewpoints, how many people are in each 'camp', and do so while filtering out the rage, outcry, and frustration which makes these situations so upsetting for the community as a whole.[/size] [size=1] PINGLIST @ EndraPhoenix @ Laluzi @ dragoncreep @ EWSpirit @ Medenadragon @ Aersolace @ After @ TheSquishyKing @ PSICadet @ SnoringHyena @ rexasaurus @ AdeleneDawner @ DeadHeart @ Touhou @ Darkfall @ TalonShrubfire @ Rhamnus @ LordMalak @ Grunty @ MawkishMuse @ Sciencing @ TigerDMaster @ Hahoe @ Shougoney @ Quandary @ Witchlight @ Finlandia @ Osayio @ Disillusionist @ Paravoina @ AquariaMoon @ Sylipha @ valkyrian @ CassieRose @ JadeMagic @ BoomBreeze @ TwilitBard @ Forestwolf @ Alphanix @ Formless @ mimimoon @ carcinoGenetics @ Silverin @ DeepflowManah @ ElvenArtist @ Almedha @ Before @ starblazer @ MoonEclipse ----- [quote name="Catradora" date="2018-06-10 10:53:09" ] RESULTS Q1:Which flight are you in?

Thank you once again for the support; I must now go back and get all this data to the front of each poll. I will return shortly to answer questions and discuss the update. [/quote] -----

I went ahead and took the survey! Thanks for doing this btw
Will you be pinging for results because I would love to see them.

Answered. Good luck with your poll :) I'm sure you'll get some very interesting responses!

@EndraPhoenix I can ping for results if you'd like me to. ^^ I do plan on posting the results either when this hits 150 responses or Sunday morning.

@ Nekomori thanks! I hope it goes well, I'll admit I don't think I did as good a job building this poll as the last one (mostly because I don't know enough about the 'camp' to actually build a poll which relates to them). Hopefully, tomorrow, I'll be able to build a poll which accommodates them better, and get some more refined responses. ^^

Comprehensive poll! Thanks for such accurate cataloguing throughout this very dramatic time.

Ping me for results as well!

@Catradora I took the poll please ping me for results :)

My main issue with the update is that it's completely random, if it were genetic and only able to breed for (same as genes but possibly with lower percentages) I would love it.

Thank you for creating this poll it was really well made. I'm 100% done with this drama.

I did the poll! I'd love to be pinged for results.

This poll made me smile.
