Flight Rising Discussion

I think the staff will listen if people continue to make their voices heard. Any changes might take a while to implement, however, considering the first time they tried to release Arlo it needed to be pushed back because of a game breaking bug.

Dunno if this has been posted yet, but there's a suggestion thread here: https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/sug/3102430

I don't have any problem with Arlo as is. It's a patience game, and magnifiers will get you where you want to go (save them up until you can finish the project you want). One idea I just had that might make Arlo more palatable is to be able to choose a project for your pickaxe like is done with magnifiers, where one of the pickaxes would be in that plot and the rest would be random.

[quote name="Niceless" date="2022-02-10 07:54:49" ] I completely agree that some people are being very... a tad uncivil. Personally I think everybody is overreacting. [/quote] It's the most obvious thing in the world to me that people will "overreact" because staff is in general so very uncommunicative. Usually, when you're upset about something and you say something about it, a lack of response means the other person is shutting you out. So you have either two choices: give up or get louder in hopes they will hear. This would be a normal response of the userbase considering the staff's chosen method of addressing the issue... which is to say, of course, they don't address it at all, usually. I'm surprised anybody's surprised about this anymore, frankly. As far as the thing itself, I had no expectations so I'm not disappointed? I guess my take is that it's just a really-annoying Baldwin. A real pain and a half to interact with. I wish there were a way to rearrange the sites so you don't have to scroll all the way to the bottom if you want to use your magnifying glass on that one, for example. EDIT: I forgot I do genuinely think it's unfair the social play versus solo thing. That does need to be fixed.

[quote name="PearlConnor" date="2022-02-10 08:00:08" ] I think we should all be happy because digging pleases the Goblin brain [/quote] Yesss

[quote name="ceiswyn" date="2022-02-10 09:19:55" ] The problem isn't that it's time gated; people are willing to work towards a slow goal. The problem is that there are so many layers of random it's almost impossible to focus on what you actually want. I've been using most of my magnifiers on a single plot, but I still get plots I don't want cleared almost as much because RNG favours them (and has been mostly giving me pickaxes rather than magnifiers). And if those plots get completed, then they reset and immediately start sucking up my resources again... I understand why staff haven't said anything immediately. I don't expect them to. This is really early days, they just released the feature, some of the feedback may change over time, plus I don't want staff reacting emotionally to initial criticism of something they've been working hard on, because they're human and that way madness lies. But that doesn't mean I'm not goinng to provide my thoughts. And the fact that I'm criticising some aspects of Arlo doesn't mean I don't like it. I just think it needs to be rebalanced a bit. [/quote] Oh...yeah, this new info to me, and I totally see where you're coming from. It's not even that I don't want all of the things...it's that I only [i]need[/i] one of most of the things. Like the vista...who even needs more than one of those? And if everyone has to grind the first dig site to level their Archaeology, it's not even going to be something you can sell, since most people will eventually have one. Heck, you can't even melt it. Wow. That...was not well thought-out. o.O

honestly i don't really care lol, i just think digging is Neat

[quote name="Sorel" date="2022-02-10 07:58:52" ] I think it's wild that people are already just circumventing the entire notes system by buying notes lol like wasn't this what people were afraid would happen with likes? (clipped for brevity) [/quote] this, this, exactly this. the staff arlo thread is full of "my trade partner didnt send notes back arlo sucks" when they very well fully know that it isnt supposed to be a fair trade. it isn't designed like that and its never going to be. ----- just because the rewards arent as immediate its like the whole website's been split in two. people that don't care as much to the point of apathy versus the people that just want gunfire one after another satisfaction. two wildly different flavors of beasts.

I don't mind the slowness, the randomness with the pickaxes is a little annoying but I can deal, but most of the items are technically "one use" so having to go for them again if you want to dig everything up is a lil' pointless. The vista is going to end up very worthless at this rate lol

i think they'll address it eventually; no reason to get antsy. it's only been 3 days.

by all means keep talking about it, but i don't think we need to worry just yet about not having a response.
