I don't think there's any reason to "fix" this gene, since it's already out and people do like it and already have it. it would be unfair to those who enjoy the gene to change it now.

I like this gene a LOT and think it is great just as it is.
I don’t actually like ANY of the proposed alternatives, so I would be [i]extremely[/i] angry if the genes I brewed/dragons I gened suddenly changed because people can’t stop complaining.
I don’t think people understand that, whatever their preconceived notions, [u] this gene looks [i]EXACTLY[/i] how FR artists [b]intended it[/b] to look[/u].

yes, I agree! this is how they wanted their gene to look, and it looks awesome. it's similar to gembond, but less clustered, which looks cool!

Honestly, the gene isn't that bad. c:
It can definitely work for sweet (ice cream, cookies, etc.) dragons, ore dragons, maybe crystal shard dragons. Could also see rose dragons with thorns or spooky plague dragons if people want to go that route. Just kinda one of those genes that work with certain themes and dragons.

Look at that rose bb >:v[/center]
Only thing I don't like is the name. The appearance of the gene feels more like Shard than Keel. It also seems too random for Keel.

WOW! Already we are seeing gorgeous dragons and amazing creativity with this gene.
Whatever FR artist/s worked on this- THANK YOU! This gene is truly original, creative, and has LOADS of possibilities. I LOVE that it’s nothing like anything we’ve had before, and I hope we see more innovative genes of all kinds.
I can’t wait to start playing with this to see what I can come up with!

First of all, it's sure that FR staff won't do changes as big as the usermade [b]mock ups[/b]. Read the words in bold again, mock ups.
[i]"a model or replica of a machine or structure, used for instructional or experimental purposes."[/i]
They're not supposed to keep the quality of FR's art. They're not supposed to replicate the style. They're a quick sketch of how the gene could be improved. They're sketches made in 10 minutes.
Literally the slightest fix, [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ann/2844016/76#post_42861929]like shown here[/url], would make it much better. It's subtle, but it's a great improvement.
Second, what makes you so sure about that that you have to underline, put it in bold, AND italics? You don't speak for them.
[rule]
That said, I do not hate this gene. I simply dislike it in most occassions and, simply, will avoid using it.

The staff are... professionals. If they couldn't handle a little backlash they wouldn't bother running Flight Rising in the first place.
This gene does look uninspired to me. It's lazy. It looks like the poor dragons are being stabbed --- something multiple people are saying. If a bunch of people are saying the same thing, doesn't that tell you something is wrong?
Obviously rudeness isn't cool but I've yet to see somebody call this gene "crap", like that one poster called someone'e edit did.

so because someone's a professional, they don't have feelings anymore? it's okay to insult people because they run a business?
it isn't lazy. the artist clearly spent a lot of time on their work. you're being rude for no reason. a few loud, rude members of the community doesn't speak for all the thousands of players.
anyway, here's a cute chocolate chip baby

I know others have redrawn it but I wanted to try. This one was quick and it's mostly for the concept, but I think representing the scales this way would be kind of cool..
