@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.

Hello @M1mikyu! Please be sure to submit your report directly to Hiveworks: tech@thehiveworks.com

Hi @quietsea, it's best to send reports directly to Hiveworks following the instructions laid out in the first post of this thread and on the Hiveworks report ad page. That being said, if you come across a new problem please report it directly to Hiveworks and post in this thread too.

If Hiveworks needs us to gather information about a new issue or a long-standing issue they're working on, we'll start sourcing that information from this thread and notify the community via Site Status.



Hi @ScreamingStars, you'll want to follow the reporting instructions in either the first post of this thread and on the Hiveworks report ad page. The directions are the same, but the Hiveworks page has visual aids in their HAR file instructions. Thank you!

@quietsea, thank you for your report. As we noted above, this is an issue Hiveworks and Venatus are still working on. Please be sure to send your report directly to tech@thehiveworks.com. This is the most efficient way for players to get their reports to the right people while we wait for an in-ad reporting framework option. Thank you!

The names are based on the interior "glow" color, the same as the versions with more colorful interiors. The obsidian set has black interiors, and the quartz has white interiors.

The future shines bright with new apparel!

Additional Updates

• We have added gene error threads for Modern genes and Ancient genes that have been released for > 45 days.
  
  These issues will be addressed as time and bandwidth allow. These threads are for technical errors only, and consistency changes will not be considered. More info here.
• As promised in our moderation update, we've updated the following Support articles:
  Account Penalties Explained and Can I have more than one account?
• The Auction House now provides an option to feed purchased dragons before they are delivered to your lair. This action will use food points.
  
• We have an update on the following reported ad issues: Adobe ads & freezing, pop-outs & zoom-ins, and inappropriate ads.

Good news, everyone! We've confirmed that all fixes are in, they are live, and the issue of Adobe ads freezing or locking up your browser have stopped.

Hiveworks and their parent company ad network partner are actively working on the ads causing pop-outs, forcing your screen to zoom in, etc. We are seeing less reports of these types of ads as time goes on.

And as for the inappropriate ads, Flight Rising is still categorized as child-safe. What this means is that these inappropriate ads are miscategorized on the vendor side and requires chasing down individual ads. This is where your direct reports to Hiveworks helps us the most right now. If you come across an inappropriate ad, please be sure to report the ad directly to Hiveworks via tech@thehiveworks.com.

Thank you for your patience and for your reports! They've helped greatly with squashing the bad ads!

Good morning everyone! We appreciate your due diligence and desire to warn your fellow pet site players! We haven't been able to verify if Furvilla experienced a series of account compromises or not yet (via public-facing announcements from Furvilla themselves). So we're going to go ahead and lock this thread now.

That being said, this is a good reminder to make sure that the password for your Flight Rising account is unique and not shared or re-used across other sites/accounts. The same goes for your Furvilla account password, your Chickensmoothie account password, your email account password(s)—any online account, really. If you are re-using passwords across various online accounts, now is a good time to update them to something unique.

As promised, we've updated our Account Penalties Explained article to clarify further what appeals are and what you can expect when appealing an account or forum penalty.

We've also updated our Support article Can I have more than one account? This update clarifies further that multiple account use is considered cheating and why, provides examples of multiple account use that we regularly see during investigations, as well as information on what players who've used multiple accounts in the past can do if they want to play Flight Rising without worry.

Have you heard what the buzz is all about? Insects are swarming across Sornieth, and bug-loving dragons everywhere are taking advantage of it!

Springswarm
Springswarm, one of Flight Rising's quarterly "micro-holidays", is in full swing! From Thursday, March 7th (06:00 Server Time) to Monday, March 11th (06:00 Server Time), all players will experience a couple of battle-related boosts!


Bountiful Battles
For the duration of Springswarm, all all Coliseum enemies will have the chance to drop insect food items in addition to their normal loot. Other site activities such as gathering, breeding, bonding, brewing, and visiting some of the trading post dragons will also yield a chance at collecting some of the swarm! Dragon clans everywhere are taking this time to stock up on ants, bees, cicadas, caterpillars, butterflies, worms, beetles, and more to keep them satisfied until the summer time.



Battle EXP Boost
During the event, all battles will yield 50% additional EXP, so now is a perfect time for dragons to train. Grab your newest team and head out into battle!



A Swarm of Treasures!
Dragonkind are not the only ones taking advantage of the swarm. As the forests, jungles, and fields teem with life, enterprising critters rummage through the undergrowth. A few clever species of boar add their talents to this bug bonanza, using the moss and dirt to shimmy themselves into the perfect hiding spots among the newly emerged Swarm Sovereigns and Devourers. For the duration of Springswarm, the boars will drop occasionally in the Coliseum and rarely during Insect Catching. The swarm companions will also drop from the Coliseum and rarely from all type of gathering activities.

Once the swarms have subsided, the swarm will migrate onwards, but there's but dragons may still encounter one or two boars while Insect Catching.

A vista and scene have a chance to drop in the coliseum and many other site-related activities.

Seasonal Sidekicks
Sage's Seasonal Sundries has attracted new seasonal creatures! The Plumed Wintertail familiar can be purchased from now until the end of March 21st, when Sage will begin celebrating spring and the Plumed Springtail will join her!

Folks, transphobia not being allowed on our site doesn't make it okay to post comments like the above. Comments such as these are considered trolling which we also don't allow. We enforce our rules so that you don't have to deal with rule-violating comments, conduct, or behavior. Trolling after the fact defeats the purpose and can escalate or derail the thread.



The quoted comments and replies to them have been removed. Please remember, we are a video game/entertainment website with discussion forums. We are not a general purpose social media platform driven by hot takes, trolling, and algorithms. Thank you.

The following corrections/adjustments went in tonight:

• P: Starmap - (All Undertide) The constellation lines needed their opacity increased & Larger “twinkle” stars made more present. Consistency error. Fixed.
• P: Starmap - (Undertide H, M) The mouth was missing the interior mouth color and the gradient on the tongue. Note: Some breeds like mirror have a single interior mouth color (this is present on basic) while some have one that changes based on the color. Undertide has a varied mouth color, and will match things like Veilspun in this regard. Consistency error. Fixed.
• S: Constellation - (All Undertide) The constellation lines needed their opacity checked & Larger “twinkle” stars made more present. Consistency error. Fixed.
• S Jester - (Undertide F) A mini stripe was added to the lower half of the wing. The space available on the wing and the fact that it's folded prevent a full expression of the slimmer stripe pattern. Consistency error. Fixed.
• T: Blossom - (All Undertide) The center gradients on each flower were too large, resulting in flowers that are 50/50 coverage rather than 75/25 coverage of each color per flower. Technical error. Fixed.
• T: Blossom - (H Undertide) The hatchling flower size needed to be increased. Consistency error. Fixed.

Aether are the next ancients planned to get a gene expansion, though we don't have an ETA on when that will be. :) Definitely after Undertide's expansion thread is finished off and closed out and we've got the universal modern and ancient gene threads up for technical errors. (The universal threads are planned to be ongoing and will theoretically never be closed out.)

Here are the current totals as of 3/23/24 for those who are curious. This counts primary basic, secondary basic, and tertiary basic as genes.

• Moderns: 124 Genes
• Aberration: 106 Genes
• Aether: 75 Genes
• Auraboa: 89 Genes
• Banescale: 92 Genes
• Gaoler: 89 Genes
• Sandsurge: 85 Genes
• Undertide: 131 Genes
• Veilspun: 82 Genes

The end date has been corrected, the Aether gene should be purchasable, and the Undertide skin now has the proper icon. The latter may require a cache refresh to show up.

The following corrections went in in the past day:

• P: Jaguar - (All Undertide) There was a small gradient bleed that extended under the chin. Technical issue. Fixed.
• P: Orb - (All Undertide) The dark marking width was thickened. Consistency error. Fixed.
• P: Stitched - (All Undertide) The stitched lines need to be a bit thicker to match other instances of the gene. Consistency error. Fixed.
• S Patchwork - (All Undertide) The stitched lines need to be a bit thicker to match other instances of the gene. Consistency error. Fixed.
• S: Weaver - (All Undertide) The dark marking width was thickened. Consistency error. Fixed.
• T: Jellyfish - (H Undertide) The sparkles were the incorrect color. Technical error. Fixed.
• T: Smirch - (All Undertide) The faded gradient opacity need to be more opaque. Consistency error. Fixed
• T: Stinger - (M Undertide) The perspective of the facial crests could be adjusted to read better. Consistency error. Fixed.
• T: Topcoat - (F Undertide) The far eyebrow ridge should not have been colored in. Technical error. Fixed
• T: Topcoat - (M Undertide) The head frills were missing the accent color along the edge. Technical error. Fixed.

Thank you for the report. This has been corrected.
