Suggestions

Having percentages for how likely certain gene outcomes would be when breeding seems like a smart idea. It would certainly help gage the likelihood of achieving certain breeding projects, so I'd support. As for best way to implement it, I'm not sure. I'm inclined to say having some sort of percentage shown when foreseeing progeny might be the most helpful? But having the information in the database seems good too

Also @TurtleSkittles , while I do think having more community voting features might be nice (though I'd say thats another discussion to be had), I do think the staff does look at these forums at least somewhat? I've definitely some popular suggestions from here be implemented before so I don't think they totally ignore these threads. A think lot of these things just take time to implement though so, idk, not a coder so thats just my best guess. Also this game updates quite a bit so I could see there being some competition in terms of what is implemented when.

[/quote] Also, just want to say that a vote feature would be useless, because the developers have said they do not implement suggestions based upon popularity but rather how well the suggestion fits in with their vision for the site. So, no matter how popular a particular suggestion is, or how easy or hard, or even how unpopular a suggestion is, if it doesn't fit into their vision, it won't get implimented. However, for this particular suggestion, I think it would be nice, if not the exact breakdown of the percentages, having the genes listed, what their rarity tiers are, and how those tiers break down against each other would be great to put into the encyclopedia. Having it in other places would be good as well. Personally I would like the encyclopedia completely updated, so that it encompasses all the lore, including tidbits given in various threads, and things like this and basically information that should be in an encyclopedia feature.

@Jemadar
I meant more so votes similar to what they did for like, when they released the redesigned ribbons and that sort of thing. So more voting for designs and how specific things are implemented. I dont think voting specifically for which suggestions should be implemented would work very well, I should have clarified. But yeah, thats a different discussion.

I don't have a problem one way or another with Suggestion 1. It could be that the exact incidence of the genes is supposed to be a secret or it could be that within rarity categories some are (or are planned to be) more or less rare than others in the same category. I have no idea, but the point is that I'm not attached to it one way or another. It'd be cool to see, but I wouldn't be upset if we never saw it.

I would love to see Suggestion 2 happen. There's no reason to have "primary gene" be the hover text; it's pretty much useless. This would not be useless. And it would make matching mates much easier for me, personally, as I wouldn't have to look up those graphs anymore to see if they were in the same category. It's just right there on the dragon.

Suggestion 3 is another one like the first one that I don't particularly care all that much about. Would it be cool to have? Absolutely, yes. But I also can see that it might be against what the point of the "surprise" of breeding is or whatever... But then again people are doing this on their own with breeding tools on spreadsheets and whatnot. I don't know why FR wouldn't want to implement it to keep users on their site more, you know?

I could see the info being displayed both in the encyclopedia and game database, though (on the gene items themselves, perhaps).

Full support on suggestion 1, whether it's put in the encyclopedia, the database, or both. It'd just be really helpful for players to have that information, especially new players who might not realize that some genes are inherited more rarely than others.

Suggestion 2, Gonna say no support, just because I (and others too apparently) have a problem with hover text on this site getting "stuck" and not going away. I'm also not sure if it's relevant to add on a dragon's page since only relevant to people breeding the dragon.

Edited to add: Nvm, I support! I actually changed my mind on this point after re-reading @/Almedha's post on it and thinking on it more. I wish the hover feature could be fixed regardless, so sure, why not add that?

Suggestion 3-- sure, that'd be pretty useful. At the moment I'm using an off-site guide to check how likely my hatchlings are to have x gene, and I don't see how streamlining that would hurt.

I'd like to see an official gene rarity in the encyclopedia as long as they keep it updated with new genes [quote name="TurtleSkittles" date="2021-02-26 16:48:29" ] It is quite obvious that the devs ARE NOT READING suggestions and this whole thing is nothing but a farce. Prove me wrong.[/quote] Off the top of my head here are some of the site features that were taken from the suggestion forums, just because they admins don't generally respond to the suggestion forums doesn't mean they don't keep an eye on the suggestions -Keybinds for the coliseum -Ability to turn off animations in the coliseum -Ability to move battle stones around -Pose change scroll in the form of the Silhouette Scroll -Ability to exalt EY Dragons -Ability to use EY Dragons as avatar -Many of the dragon profile changes -Many of the hoard revamp changes -A way to control feeding -Ability to feed dragons individually -Countless familiars, apparel, genes and trinkets -Vistas for everyone -Scenes -Roundsey (which serves double duty as way to obtain retired items and as a site run raffle) -A way to 'completely' the bestiary (Fiona) -Ability to use extra transmutations to make other colors -Changes to familiar or images names that were offensive -Ability to speed up the cooldown for a dragon -Hibernal den -Vault -Ability to change flights -Moving Ice's festival from December to January

@TurtleSkittles
For TurtleSkittles and any others who are wondering, here is an extensive explanation of what the Suggestions forum is and is not.

Especially relevant is the first paragraph:
Please keep any subsequent posts in this thread on-topic. Off-topic posts will be removed.

I'd support this really tbh

I definitely like the Database suggestion the most, but it would be good if any of these were implemented. It's really just a quality of life type of improvement.
