Hello, everyone! We have a poll for you! [emoji=new friend size=1] [br] ----- [b][size=5]What Happened[/size][/b] As the pending updated gene error tracking thread was being worked on earlier today, the opportunity presented itself to also get some corrections out the door—including Flair on obelisk dragons. While reviewing reports in the old gene error thread, this gene/dragon combination was determined today to be inconsistent with the manes of other dragon breeds. Unfortunately, these corrections included Flair for obelisk dragons, which had been launched with the incorrect colors, determined to be incorrect today, and very few knew they were mismatched from other manes until today's update went live.

Hello, everyone! We have a poll for you!



What Happened

As the pending updated gene error tracking thread was being worked on earlier today, the opportunity presented itself to also get some corrections out the door—including Flair on obelisk dragons. While reviewing reports in the old gene error thread, this gene/dragon combination was determined today to be inconsistent with the manes of other dragon breeds.

Unfortunately, these corrections included Flair for obelisk dragons, which had been launched with the incorrect colors, determined to be incorrect today, and very few knew they were mismatched from other manes until today's update went live.

This is our mistake and we apologize for the upset, confusion, and breaking of your trust that this update caused today. In the interest of full transparency, this was an honest human error, born of a desire to be productive and efficient, within the context of pandemic burnout.

Because the error colors of Flair on obelisk dragons are so loved, we agree we messed up here, and especially due to the fact this was a featured image, we want to put this into the community's hands and allow your voices to be heard:


Poll: Flair Mane Color Future

From now until December 31 at 06:00 server time you can vote on what you as the community would like to happen with Flaunt and Flair.

Do you want all manes to look like the obelisk manes originally did, or do you want all manes to look like pearlcatcher, skydancer, wildclaw, imperial, and tundras originally did? Vote in the survey below, not in the forums please!

No dragons get sparkle manes and have the gradient that was originally used in Pearlcatcher/Skydancer/Imperial/Wildclaw/Tundra.

Whoops, thread didn't lock.

Locking the thread to prevent any inadvertent voting in the thread itself. Only on the poll! Thank you!

We have changed our poll link from surveymonkey to poll-maker. The responses we've gotten from the poll exceeded what our surveymonkey annual plan could handle, so to continue to count your votes we are collecting all future responses from poll-maker. We will add the surveymonky responses from the first two hours to the poll-maker results at the close of the poll on December 30th at 6:00 server time so everyone's vote is counted.

If you already voted on the Surveymonkey poll that was here previously, you are all set and your vote has been counted - Please do not vote a second time!


There's another new poll. See reply below.

It's the poll. The FINAL final poll. The best poll.

After getting some rest under our belts and reading through the community's feedback, we are doing another poll, and extending the end date of the poll by another day to December 31 at 6:00 server. This poll includes a third, highly requested option to have obelisks have their own mane rules for Flair (reversion).


The prior survey with just two options is now closed. For those curious about the results:

1915 all dragons get pearlcatcher/imp/etc manes NO SPARKLE
4513 all dragons get obelisk manes. ALL SPARKLE

These results are going to be shelved in favor of allowing players to vote once more with a highly requested middle ground third option. Thank you for your patience with this.
