Flight Rising Discussion

[quote]Is there a chance for more art-revamps, or was backlash against armor revamp too big?[/quote] Our art team is committed to ensuring that the quality of [i]Flight Rising[/i]'s various visual elements remains as consistent as possible. In the case of the armor update: it was one of the very first apparel sets to be created, back when the site was just about to launch and needed its initial push of "vanilla" content, and the art team decided that it didn't meet the quality standards the site currently adheres to. There are no planned revamps at this time. [br][br] [quote]Adjacent question - will there be more recolors of existing sets of apparel?[/quote] It's possible! [br][br] [quote]Sacrifice, on its own*, is not offensive, correct? *Obviously spite exalting is spite exalting and bad and all of that. Obviously, history comes into account. I'm just checking that the name on its own is not inherently offensive or banned.[/quote] To answer in a word: no. "Sacrifice" itself is not inherently against our [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki&article=51][b]naming policy[/b][/url]. As we've said in several responses and within the policy itself, we will always investigate/consider all naming reports to look for inherent rule-breaking and context before taking action. [br][br] [quote]Any plans on updating the credits page?[/quote] Yes, the [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=credits][b]credits page[/b][/url] is due for an update. [br][br] [quote]Are the developers aware of the current dodge and critical hit rates and how they seem to have greatly increased since NOTN?[/quote] There have been no changes made to dodge and critical hit rates; there is just more discussion about them lately. This could be due to the fact that the [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=coliseum][b]Coliseum[/b][/url] is running in a much more stable manner than before and [i]Flight Rising[/i] having a larger population who uses it. We are, however, reading the discussions and considering the constructive feedback we receive for possible stat adjustments going forward. [br][br] [quote]Are any of the new genes (from Crystal on) ever going to get achievements for breeding hatchlings with them like the older ones do?[/quote] We do plan on adding additional achievements to [i]Flight Rising[/i] that pertain to newer genes. Right now, the achievements system is receiving the same optimization treatment as other sections of the site, so we are holding off on implementing them until that has been addressed. [br][br] [quote]2. Is it possible for us to submit ideas for the "major story/plot" for the staff to consider?[/quote] It is unlikely---mostly for legal reasons---that player-suggested plot submissions will be implemented. Please do not send them to us - we are unable to read them! [br][br] [quote]Is exalting a leveled dragon versus a hatchling a huge difference towards the tally or barely a difference? Or is answering this question not an option?[/quote] Leveled dragons are weighed more heavily in dominance calculations than dragons at level 1. [br][br] [quote]Will there ever be another coloring contest?[/quote] We love contests! It wouldn't surprise me that we run something like it in the future. [br][br] [quote]Is the magic in the environment finite or infinite? I know dragons' internal stores can be expended, but could a colony of fae (who have small internal stores) wipe out the environmental magic in an area through excessive magic use?[/quote] A little of both. It's something that can naturally replenish if given time and the right conditions. However, it can be destroyed as well. The majority of magic that dragon's use is drawn from their environment, and released back into it without being destroyed or created. Part of the reason why the Shade incursion was taken seriously by the gods was that the Shade consume and destroy magic at a faster rate than it can be replenished.
