Dev Tracker

@RipPip, the site was in maintenance at the time you opened the capsule. It appears that the capsule was opened before the contents were fully loaded in. Please send us a message through Contact Us for help. Thank you!

Friday's scheduled maintenance is backend work, not an update.

Hey.

I hear you, all of you.

Right now everything in our world feels unstable, unsure, and utterly outside of our control. And you're not wrong to feel that way. It's very, very human to project or redirect that energy onto areas or spaces you feel you have a voice in or more control over—aka, agency. When we do that though, we can start to feed our very valid, very reasonable anxieties and concerns with borrowed trouble or worries. If we aren't careful, if we aren't mindful, it can consume us.

No one can tell the future; we can only focus on that which is within our control. While it wouldn't be appropriate or professional for us to post about or discuss finances, what I can tell you is that we ourselves are mindful of the areas that can kill businesses, like growing a team too fast and without consideration for sustainable runway.

Where can you contribute to Flight Rising's continued future? What is under your control?

Ads and gem purchases keep the lights on and our employees paid. If you're able to turn on ads on, we appreciate it. Should you come across a bad ad, follow the instructions here on how to report bad ads. If you have disposable income to spend on entertainment, you can buy gems from us on our Purchase Gems page.

I'm locking this thread now, before it spirals. Thank you for sharing your feedback and your concerns. We appreciate you.

It's after 06:00 server time on April 2nd, sooooo it's time to lock this thread.

10/10, well done, @KamiRain and everyone here who showed their support!

@KamiRain, I've long appreciated this particular form of art.

@KamiRain, while typically this should be moved to the Guides forum, given the duration of the event and your dedication to Marva, we can make an exception for today. That said, your title was edited to bring it in line with Forum Etiquette. Thank you!

Thank you for the report @Ais.

Have you turned off April Fools' under account settings?

Thank you for the report everyone. The bug is now fixed!

Marva has been known to prank both the players AND developers every year. She got us again!

It's a bug. We're on it. Thank you!

And a ping for your new URL in Bug Reports! @Gubyub

The following corrections have gone in:

The following corrections have gone in tonight:

• P: Fern - (All Undertide) The snout fade was missing on this gene. Technical error. Fixed.
• P: Ground - (All Undertide) The second layer of shadow should have shown both the cracks and the dimensionality of the dragon. Technical error. Fixed.
• P: Jupiter - (Undertide M, F) The stripes were less dense and gradients had less stripe coverage than with modern dragons. Consistency error. Fixed.
• S Eye Spots - (All Undertide) The head frills were missing the markings that most breeds with facial crests or frills have. Consistency error. Fixed.
• S: Fissure - (All Undertide) The second layer of shadow should have shown both the cracks and the dimensionality of the dragon. Technical error. Fixed.
• S: Saturn - (Undertide M, F) The stripes were less dense and gradients had less stripe coverage than with modern dragons. Consistency error. Fixed.
• T: Scales - (F Undertide) The scales on the left side of the belly did not match the length of those on the right. Technical error. Fixed.
• T: Spines - (F Undertide) The spines along the tail peeking out between the fins were following the side and not the spine. Fixed.

The following corrections have gone in:

• Primary Orb (All this release) - The belly layer was left in by accident. Orb was never intended to have the main belly color present. This is considered an error. Corrected.
• Secondary Weaver (Fae F) - There are stray brush strokes on the very tips of the wings were not filled in. Corrected.

The following items have had apostrophes added to their names. In our legacy code, apostrophes were not handled well, but this is no longer an issue.

Modern dragons begin displaying an ancient twist! What was old is new again!

Orb and Weaver
Once only seen on select ancient dragons, Orb and Weaver are now appearing on modern breeds and many other ancients. This primary and secondary gene can be created in Baldwin's Bubbling Brew by alchemists level 26 and above. The ancient versions of these genes can be traded for by visiting Glass and Gloss.

Spring has Sprung!

The seasons have changed, and Sage's Seasonal Sundries is now stocking items celebrating spring!

Please check the known issues and working-as-intended sections before making a report!

This thread is to track any gene errors that occur with the Orb and Weaver Gene Expansion. This thread is for the newly released Orb and Weaver genes only, and does not encompass previously released genes.

In this thread, players may report any errors they encounter with the new genes. These can be technical errors, or consistency issues. This thread is intended to focus on these potential errors so that they can be addressed swiftly





Please report any errors you encounter and we will do our best to correct them in a timely manner. This thread will close out 45 days after release, on May 7th, 2024. After this time, players may report technical issues with these and other gene errors in the Modern Gene Error Backlog Thread, or the Ancient Gene Error Backlog Thread, but further consistency issues will not be accepted for review and will be considered working as intended.

I will be deleting reports that are not relevant to the Orb and Weaver gene expansion new release, reports that have been corrected, reports are not considered an issue, duplicate reports, and discussion or chatter as I encounter/investigate them to keep the thread current with gene reports only.


This thread is accepting reports on the following genes only:

@uwa, congratulations! And a quick heads up—your title's been edited under our Forum Etiquette. Thank you!

As others have noted, we prohibit AI content (images, writing, videos, etc) on our site. For this reason, the thread is now locked. Thank you.

@alakatzam, hey, that's fair feedback. I had that in mind when I first commented and why I made sure to state "no promises" with the alert emoji next to it.

And just to clarify, because I think there's been some confusion: Search by color already exists as an option in the Game Database, only with one color at a time.


To put this another way, my initial reply was about checking in on quality of life tweaks to already existing features, in a light-hearted fashion while clearly stating there are no promises made.

@alakatzam, there's nothing wrong with excitement...within reason. For what it's worth, my response is mostly tongue-in-cheek.

It's when "let me see if this is possible" jumps straight to any statement or assumption of an incoming new feature, before we've even discussed or scoped out the idea around existing projects—let alone committed to it—that we need to lock the potential runaway thought ASAP.

This is actually a really good example as to why we refrain from commenting on player suggestions in general. Even us just publicly noting an idea can be taken as a promise, which can lead to disappointment and resentment if it doesn't pan out. And the end result is [Everybody disliked that] :(

Hello @AmyethystRose1958! You can use the Game Database to search familiars by color. Granted, there's only one available for field for search by color, but I wonder...*grabs the engineer poking stick and hurries off.*





(I make no promises!)

@ShriektheMighty, the next time you experience this and to the best of your ability, please try to locate the page responsible for this alert. From there, you'll want to follow the instructions in either the first post of this thread or on the Hiveworks Report Ad page. Thank you!

@ShriektheMighty, what Flight Rising pages are open when this happens?

Hello @Windexx, please be sure to report this directly to Hiveworks. Instructions are here and in the first post of this thread, and the email is tech@thehiveworks.com. Thank you!

@stayBurgerwehr, not the volunteer moderators, no.

As for using private messages, it depends on what the issue is. Given the circumstances, you can send me a private message, but I also can't make any promises on possible resolutions.

Oh. Yes, I understand. Unfortunately, if you're unable to access that page for that reason, we're out of options. This is a Zendesk-level decision that's out of our hands. @stayBurgerwehr

@stayBurgerwehr, the best guess I can give you right now based on what you've described is if you're on a VPN with a bad reputation, maybe? If you are, try hopping off your VPN and accessing our Contact Us page again.

Hello @Aristene, thank you for sharing your feedback.

If an inappropriate ad (content wise) is getting through, this is because the vendor, or the party responsible for marketing on behalf of a business, has mislabeled the ad in a way that allows it to slip into child-safe networks. This mislabeling may be due to human error, incompetence, or maliciousness. We don't know. We only know we don't want them on our site.

When these inappropriate ads are reported to Hiveworks—who is not an ad vendor, but an ad manager and partner—they use those reports to track down the reported ad, check the labeling, and then identify it as a bad ad in the network. From there, they remove the ad. One thing to be aware of is that it does still take some time for the ads to fully flush out of the network. So removal isn't immediate, as much as we'd like it to be. Hiveworks escalates to Venatus, who runs the overall network, when needed.

I should also mention there's a small percentage of Google ads on the network as well; that's the nature of the online advertising industry. This means players will be served ads from time to time that are based on the interests and browsing habits stored in their browser or logged from their general area or region. Anyone interested in opting out of personalized Google ads can learn more about this in Google's Safety Center.
