This thread is to track any gene errors that have occurred for modern dragons in releases that are more than 45 days old. Fixes for these issues will be done as time/bandwidth allow.
In this thread, players may report any errors they encounter with older modern genes. This thread is for technical errors only. We do not accept consistency error reports on genes that are more than 45 days old.
Please report any technical errors you encounter. We intend to fix all technical errors, though this thread is not considered a priority thread. These fixes will be implemented as time and team availability allow.
Note that it may take a short while for the site's internal image cache to reflect the corrected image assets.

Corrected Issues
- Primary: Boulder (Fathom M) The front feet were given the same color as the back feet and other fathoms.
- Primary: Crystal (Bogsneak F, M, Coatl F, M, Wildclaw F) The crystal color no longer bleeds onto the teeth.
- Primary: Lionfish (All Skydancer) The antennae had a space in the file name, resulting in them not being recolored and having all grey antennae on the f pose, all orange antennae on the m pose, and all dark blue antennae on the h pose regardless of the color of the gene. They are now appropriately recolored per the primary.
- Primary: Metallic (Nocturne F) The shine wasn't dynamically recolored. This has been corrected.
- Primary: Poison (Snapper F) a stray line of accent color that was present on the nose was corrected.
- Primary: Tiger (All Obelisk, Wildclaw M) The stripes on tiger obsidian are still tinted green from THE GREAT MISCLICK. THis has been corrected.
- Secondary: Alloy (Nocturne F) The shine wasn't dynamically recolored. This has been corrected.
- Secondary: Eye Spots (Fathom F) The back fin now has the edge patterning.
- Secondary: Foam (Fae M) The edge of the father wing silhouetted through the closer wing's translucency had hard, sharp edges. The edges were softened to keep the lower-depths underwater effect.
- Secondary: Jester (Guardian H) The wing was missing the base gradient present in the adults and every other version of this gene. This has been corrected.
- Secondary: Patchwork (Fathom F) The line art that outlines the patches has been restored.
- Secondary: Striation (Fathom F) had the offset correction uploaded. The last correction didn't overwrite the existing files correctly.
- Tertiary: Filigree (Pearlcatcher H) had missing lineart around the side of the stomach area added in.
- Tertiary: Glimmer (Ridgeback F) The shadow color was the same greyish tan no matter the tertiary color. This has been corrected.
- Tertiary: Koi (Guardian M) One of the gradients was not dynamically recoloring and was always a pink hue. This has been corrected.
- Tertiary: Polkadot (Coatl H) The polkadots bled off the lower wing. This has been corrected.
- Tertiary: Smirch (Spiral M) had a pattern bleed in the wings went go beyond the silhouette of the dragon. This was cleaned up.
- Tertiary: Stained (Fathom F) Stained bled outside of the silhouette near the tail. This has been corrected.
- Tertiary: Stained (Pearlcatcher M, Skydancer H) The horn was unaffected by stained and has no coverage. This has been corrected.
- Tertiary: Stained (Fathom F, H, M) The interior ear/mouth color was affected by Stained. This has been corrected.
- Tertiary: Stained (Bogsneak H, M, Fathom F, M, Nocturne F, H, M, Ridgeback F, H, M, Spiral F, M, Skydancer F) The "non-horn/non-feature" claws were stained. This has been corrected.
- The final adjustment to the Fathom F secondary coverage has gone in. This affects Fathom F-pose Alloy, Basic, Bee, Blaze, Blend, Breakup, Butterfly, Choir, Clouded, Constellation, Current, Daub, Edged, Eel, Eyespots, Facet, Fissure, Flair, Foam, Freckle, Hex, Hypnotic, Jester, Lode, Malachite, Marbled, Morph, Myrid, Noxtide, Paint, Paisley, Patchwork, Peregrine, Rosette, Saddle, Safari, Sarcophagus, Saturn, Seraph, Shimmer, Sludge, Spinner, Striation, Stripes, Toxin, Trail, and Weaver
Known Issues
- Primary: Pinstripe (Tundra F) There is a pixel halo around the feet.
- Secondary: Facet (Imperial M) The gene is offset.
- Secondary: Paisley (Tundra M) The mane shine present in the f and h pose is missing from the m pose.
- Secondary: Seraph (Mirror M) The feather patterning doesn't curve around the wing.
- Tertiary: Crackle (Spiral F) The shadow layer isn't covering the secondary areas of this tert.
- Tertiary: Ghost (Ridgeback M) The markings bleed outside of the back arm.
- Tertiary: Glimmer (Imperial F, M) The nose is not colored in.
- Tertiary: Polkadot (Fae M) The polkadots do not cover the main frill as they do in the hatchling and f pose.
- Tertiary: Okapi (Obsidian, All Obelisk ) Some green tinting on the stripes from THE GREAT MISCLICK is still present.
- Tertiary: Ringlets (Wildclaw M) The shadow layer on this gene is offset and needs to be brought back into position.
- Tertiary: Smirch (Nocturne F) Smirch bleeds outside of the horns.
- Iridescent and Shimmer with Black Linework - The original 67 colors on site for iridescent were colored by hand without using a tint across the line work on some breeds. This is not intended. For an example check out fae dragons with an original color, particularly a light one where the black shows up. (sky iridescent/sky shimmer is a good example on faes of the black line issue)
- Iridescent and Shimmer with Blown out Highlights - The blown out highlights are present on several species when the recolor update was out. They will often blow out to white, rather than a tint of the color and/or have extreme edges. For an example, check out pearlcatcher dragons with fuschia iridescent/fuschia shimmer.
Investigating (Not sure if issue or not)
- Tertiary: KoiNeed to check templates to see if pixel halo is another case of two anti-aliased edges overlapping.
- Tertiary: UnderbellyOn some high contrast examples, the underbelly gene has a seam where the anti-aliased (semi transparent pixels that make things look "smooth) edge of the underbelly show some bleed through of the anti-aliased edge beneath it. Unsure if able to fix as will require dragging the belly coverage a bit past where the overlap happens, which might create some issues. Will test out how it looks.
Working as intended
- Multi-Gaze & Line-Breaking Tertiaries: Sadly, the multi gaze and line breaking tertiary issue is a technical limitation. Eyes must always layer over the primary, secondary, and tertiary genes, and they are not contextually aware of what is below them and able to alter their shape to accommodate. This is a limitation with all of our dragons that have line breaking tertiaries. In moderns, this includes things like firefly, gembond, spines.
- Iridescent and Shimmer will never be 100% consistent from breed to breed - This gene was unable to be converted to our recolor engine and still has to be colored, hue shifted, and have the opacity and intensity of the highlights done by hand. While So some green dragons may shift from yellow to green to blue, while others may shift from orange to yellow to green. This is not considered an error. What we are interested in correcting is clear errors and inconsistencies within the gene. We consider that errors to be black linework and overblown highlights. The former is objective. The latter is subjective and we will be working on the most egregious offenders. Some highlights that are intense, but not what we consider "blown out" may remain unchanged.
- Primary: Clown (Color Black, Tundra Breed) The pattern not showing up well is an issue of the tundra having (in this gene and others) the body color present on the fluff and belly, and the belly color present on the less furry parts of the body. This has been a feature of the breed since the beginning, and we will not be adjusting the color placement on tundras genes that have historically had this color placement. This color placement does mean that on the color black, you have light markings on top of a light face, making it appear as if the markings are invisible.
- Savannah-Safari Obsidian The dark colors used are consistently dark across the board and across all breeds. This is considered working as intended.
- Secondary: Bee (Skydancer) The skydancer consistently within the breed have the feathers colored in with an alternate hue. This is a breed feature and is not considered a technical errror.
- Primary: Boulder (Pearlcatcher) The pearl having the boulder pattern and base color is considered working as intended. This is a breed feature and is not considered a technical errror.
- Tertiary: Peacock (Yellow) The interior spot color and exterior outline color are very close. This has been the consistent color scheme since launch and is not a considered a technical error.
- Tide/Foam (Grapefuit) This has been the consistent color scheme since launch and is not a considered a technical error.
- Tertiary: Circuit The markings on this gene are unique per pose and are not supposed to match 1:1 with other poses.
- Secondary: Flair (Tundras) Tundras have half of their wings as their primary color, and this is where the jagged lines are present. Flair is consistent within the tundra breed and will not be changed at this point in time.
