TOPIC | The Fathoms Return!
[quote name="Fehn" date="2024-06-14 17:31:32" ] [quote name="YuleLad" date="2024-06-14 17:15:14" ] I love the Fathoms! The baby is adorable and both poses look great. They are also very unique looking - we don't have any other dragons with those wings and webbed paws. My only point of disappointment is that they were release for the anniversary... Usually we get a gameplay update during the anniversary, something that is more coding related and less about the art... Even when we got obelisks for the anniversary, it felt new and exciting because of the new game of site-wide effort that was made. I honestly thought the game would come back on a non-anniversary occasion. But it didn't. I get so excited about anniversary update, because I love gameplay updates. I loved the achievements, I really liked the eye update. It was all exciting and new and made me want to play more. We don't get gameplay updates during the rest of the year. So I was looking forward for that on the anniversary. I'm really afraid of Flight rising's new direction if it's all gonna be art update and no game play update. I get that new breeds, new genes and new apparels make more money, but it doesn't make me feel like playing the game. [/quote] @yulelad I think the fathoms are just part of it, but the fact that they have officially started hinting about the Tidelord's wereabouts means that game play (adventure mode?) updates are on the horizon. I think this was more of a "beginning of something big to come" than just an anniversary breed drop. (also, depending on how you play, a new breed is new gameplay!) [/quote] I'm not too confident on the arrival of adventure mode since they have been announcing it every since I've joined the site seven years ago. I'm pretty sure adventure mode will not be a reality for at least another year. I really hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it. I think you've missed my point about new gameplay. I think the term I was looking for is "new game mechanic". A new breed isn't a new mechanic, but eyes, ancients and achievements were. My disappointment is that we don't get new mechanics during the year except for the anniversary, and we didn't get one this year. I already feel like a once a year new game mechanic is very little for a game as huge as FR, so I'm sad we didn't get one at all this year. Honestly if you're already fully satisfied with how the site works and aren't hoping for new game mechanics, this update is amazing. The Fathoms are GORGEOUS. But I feel like people like me (who are waiting for the anniversary to get a new mechanic) were really left behind.

Love the new breed, but Multigaze is bugged on them - their main eyes are always earth regardless of element [emoji=fathom sad size=1] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=0&body=61&bodygene=17&breed=16&element=4&eyetype=5&gender=1&tert=144&tertgene=22&winggene=1&wings=61&auth=f0d099a0ccf426c7ec2859f11cefa61254b0683c&dummyext=prev.png[/img]

Old post deleted but I have to say that I am extremely happy with this new breed! Definitely one of my favorite moderns now and the poses are so fun and dynamic.

I absolutely love them! I'm sure a lot of people are snatching up some beautiful blue and teal colored dragons and turning them into Fathoms as we speak, just like me lol! Check out Samoon!
