Flight Rising Discussion

I don't have pictures but the Auraboa looks different and honestly worse :/ Sucks for the people who dumped a lot of tickets in for that dragon specifically

I recall reading that Fern was "bugged" on Auraboas upon release, so looks like that's been fixed? I see threads about it in the Suggestions forum, so hopefully we'll get an officially update post about it soon. EDIT - examples of the change from one of the suggestion threads (look at the "top" of the main wings). EDIT 2 - Someone supplied the actual old/new pics later in the thread, so editing it here for visibility as my example was causing confusion. [quote name="RuthlessCata" date="2024-02-19 12:32:22" ] Since this thread is about the dragon in Roundsey this week but I haven't seen examples of that particular dragon posted yet, here is a comparison for anyone new to the situation. This is how the dragon offered in Roundsey looked before the change: [center][img]http://www.crossed-paths.com/flightrising/roundsyboa.png[/img][/center] Here is how it looks after the change that went in on February 18 ([url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/bug/3289327/2#post_56213327]auraboa gene error thread link[/url]) [center][img]http://www.crossed-paths.com/flightrising/roundsyboachange.png[/img][/center] [/quote]

yes, Aura Paisley just got nuked for 'consistency.' and I am very upset because it ruined one of my G1s... she did have a gorgeous black sheen on the top half of her wings that made her look just like a raven in a pumpkin patch. i am so upset and trying not to cry tbh, I was also going to put a bunch of tickets in for that Aura but something told be to hold off... tbh I hardly see the point in having different breeds if they aren't allowed to be different. and it's not like I didn't wait to get into the breed. I only just very recently did. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/90762457][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/907625/90762457_350.png[/img][/url]

Omg is true, I must said I prefer the older version of the gene, It was way much prettier t.t

Oh gee, old paisley looks way better on the auroboas! D: I feel like what looks better should trumps consistency particularly in this case where it's not necessarily inconsistent, it's just how it has been adapted to the breed.

It looks too busy and lacks definition now. I don't know why anyone would suggest for this change.

Nooo dang it. I loved the old look so much and had a plan for my G1 involving it. Going to have to figure out a different secondary or whole plan now. Sucks that I paid a lot for the dragon itself, but at least it's a nice combo and I can always gene it outside an Auraboa. Just sucks for other users that already gened up their dragons completely, at least Paisley itself is dirt cheap.

Yeah, I feel like this is probably going to become another Obelisk Flair situation

It was a shock to me too, I woke up this morning and suddenly dragons are looking SO different, like how was anybody supposed to know this was gonna happen unless they were stalking the bug report forums,,

It's a real shame, I had the most perfect scry and now I don't even want to touch Paisley, it was so pretty and unique on Auraboas, but now it looks like the pattern was just printed onto the wings like a sheet of paper, no dimensions accounted for...

There's a thread talking about reverting the changes here if you want to voice your opinion further!

if i had a nickel for everytime a gene was changed without prior notice for the sake of ""consistency"" i would have a few nickels.

Oh that's a shame... the old version DID look nicer. We already have Obes w/their different flaunt/flair or whatever, why not let Auras have this too?
