Flight Rising Discussion

[quote]Will we get currencies other then USD to buy gems with, the conversion rate to buy gems is killing me( im aussie) and i want o bjuy more gems but the exchange rate is terrible[/quote] At this time there are no plans for alternate regional pricing for gem packages; unfortunately we are not able to set the conversion rates. However, we are thankful for the feedback. [br][br] [quote]Do you have any plans on releasing an average size chart for all the breeds so that it's a bit easier to tell how big they are in comparison to one another? I ask this because I know the sizes can glitch out for dragons sometimes, and it would be nice to get a height estimate (as opposed to just length).[/quote] It's probably something we can see ourselves doing in the future -- no plans as of right now, however. [br][br] [quote]What's the science behind beastclan elemental shifts?[/quote] There isn't really any science to it. I know that's a bit of a bummer to hear, but it's really just a functional change meant to balance the Coliseum play experience. :) [br][br] [quote]Have any of the staff ever actually taken an idea from the suggestions thread and implant it into the game?[/quote] Absolutely! We've implemented (or will be implementing) a number of changes or features that have all been discussion points that started in Suggestions forum threads. Some of the most noticeable: [br] [LIST] [*]The option to change your flight [*]The option to change your username [*]The addition of the Vault [*]The addition of several new colors to the color wheel [*]The addition of bonuses for exalting dragons that meet certain breed/gene/color criteria [*]Adding additional Swipp trade offers per rotation [*]Creating "butt bow" apparel [*]The creation of more vibrant/colorful apparel [*]The ability to preview apparel on all breeds before buying it [*]The ability to preview skins on your dragons before buying them [*]The ability to sort by price and expiration in the Auction House search results [*]The addition of a significant amount of new forum and subforum types [*]The ability to open several container items at the same time [*]The ability to sort/filter certain food types in your Hoard. [/LIST] [br] And that really just scratches the surface! Without the community feedback, [i]Flight Rising[/i] certainly would not be the way it is today. [br][br] [quote]Do wing apparel ever interfere with flight?[/quote] As rigid armor or multi-layered skirts can interfere with running, the same can be assumed for certain apparel designs hindering flight. It would still be possible, but you'd have to be a lot more careful. Delicate wing apparel would be unlikely to be worn into battle, but may be used for an aerial dance. Rigid armor would hinder flight, but would also help to protect a dragon's wings during battle. Some battle apparel is designed to hinder flight as little as possible, though there is often a trade off in armor protection vs maneuverability. [br][br] [quote]What happens to a dragon once they are exalted? Like, do they wander away and suddenly meet a deity? Or does the deity come and take the dragon? What happens...[/quote] Canonically, the dragon voluntarily answers the call of their patron deity and goes to support their elemental flight in skirmishes and dominance of Sornieth. The closest parallelism would be something like a voluntary enlistment to the military. There are many ways an exalted dragon can help in the dominance effort: flying supplies to various parts of the globe, attacking, defending, diplomacy, spying, maintaining infrastructure, research, supplying the flight, healing, etc.
