Fathom F Sec & Gene Revisions Update
Oct 30, 2024, 13:04:13
Forum Post | Bug Report Forums | By Undel
We have an update for our community today regarding player concerns about the Fathom F Secondary fixes and overall communication regarding gene fixes.

We've reviewed and discussed the constructive feedback from our community from a variety of sources: our forums, directly submitted to us through Contact Us, and across social media. We'd like to share with you how we will be going forward with gene fixes today, and what you can expect.





What's New — Gene Fixes & Fathom F Secondary

Gene Error Thread Pinglists
We will be adding a Pinglist subscription for any gene fixes/changes that are applied that will be pinged each time there is a new fix of any size added to the gene error threads. This will ensure so that players can receive a notification/alert of changes in addition to the visibility that has been present in the Dev Tracker.


Additional Front-Page Site Status Notices
If any single issue is one that affects more than 10 templates, we will be posting a notification of the change to Site Status so it shows up on the front page and not just the Dev Tracker or Pinglist. We will also be announcing gene-error thread close-outs on the Site Status shortly after the threads are locked.


Fathom F-Pose Secondary Coverage Adjustment 2.0
We will be making a second adjustment to the Fathom F-pose secondary coverage so that it might better match the exterior (ie: "back" of the wing) of the wing of the M-pose and H-pose. This change will reduce more of the upper "arm" and "elbow" of the wing's secondary coverage on the F-pose exterior. This change is not yet applied to dragons on-site.
The overlaid text reads - First Revision Coverage and depicts the fathom female template with its secondary covering the elbow and part of upper arm of the wing more fullyThe overlaid text reads - New Revision Coverage and depicts the fathom female template with its secondary with less of the upper arm covered and a more translucent gradient to the lower arm of the wing.

We understand that not everyone agrees with us that in-breed consistency qualifies as a technical error and we understand not everyone will agree with our decision to maintain this classification. We reserve the right to determine how we want our dragons and artwork to appear. That being said, we agree that that the initial fix was still inconsistent with the elbow of the M-pose, and we will be adjusting the templates to the above coverage before December. Updates on this will be posted to the Backlog - Modern Gene Errors thread and when this happens, the Dev Tracker and the Pinglist will be updated. As this is a 10+ template fix, updates to it will be posted to front-page site status.

We apologize for the confusion surrounding the communication of the Fathom F Secondary technical fix, and we hope what we've laid out above will help everyone going forward.






We encourage players to make use of the Undel-specific filter in the Dev Tracker, @Gene Error Updates or the the forum subscription feature to stay up to date on smaller updates as they're being applied. We are invested in helping the community stay up to date on staff forum posts or threads they're interested in.

We want to thank everyone for their constructive feedback on this process. Feedback about the gene corrections process should be sent directly to us through Contact Us. Your feedback helps us to continue to improve Flight Rising and make it the best game and community it can be!

The overlaid text reads - Monster Hunter - New Apparel for hunting the things that go bump in the night! On the left of the banner image is a flaxen colored dragon wearing a wide brimmed hat, and multi-layered mantle in autumnal shades. In the background is a desolate landscape with discarded weaponry.

There's an eerie chill in the air when the autumn nights of Sornieth grow long. What lurks in the dark?





Unknowable Horrors
Though many will hide from the things that go bump in the night, monster hunters are more than willing to take up the chase! The source of these nightly terrors is often just a curious familiar, a drafty window, or the lair settling... but what if it's something more dire? Something that requires one to don cool hat, crossbow, tattered mantle, and an excess of buckles?

Chorus, Choir, + Parallels Error Thread
Oct 21, 2024, 12:33:35
Forum Post | Bug Report Forums | By Undel
The following corrections went in today:
  • Primary: Chorus (Bogsneak F) - The pattern offset was corrected.
  • Primary: Chorus (Mirror M) - The base color of the body was using standard basic base color rather than the unique base colors of this gene pair.
  • Secondary: Choir (All Nocturne) - The neck frill shadow were restored.
  • Secondary: Choir (Obelisk H) - A missing mane fade was added in to match the adults.
  • Tertiary: Thorns (Dusthide) - The edge accent color of each spine was added in to be consistent with thorns on other breeds. The belly thorn placements were adjusted.
  • Chorus | Choir Edges - When viewed against a dark background, some of the colors had a pixel halo. This halo has been removed.
  • Chorus | Choir Colors - Generally speaking, the unique colors and dark accents of Chorus and Choir were cnsidered working as intended. However, we adjusted some of the exceptionally dark blacks to still be very dark, but backed off of that extreme by a small amount. This should result in keeping the high contrast. Here is a visual example of the changes that occured to the outline colors. The adjustment affected these colors only, only to the outline, and did not affect any of the gradients or accent colors.
    a visual example of the differences that will be applied to the gene. This is a chart showing extremely dark colors next to still-very-dark-colors that are slightly lighter.

Oct 15, 2024, 20:16:47
Forum Post | Bug Report Forums | By Undel
The following fixes went in today
  • Primary: Lionfish (All Skydancer) The antennae had a space in the file name, resulting in them not being recolored and having all grey antennae on the f pose, all orange antennae on the m pose, and all dark blue antennae on the h pose regardless of the color of the gene. They are now appropriately recolored per the primary.
  • Primary: Poison (Snapper F) a stray line of accent color that was present on the nose was corrected.
  • Secondary: Foam (Fae M) The edge of the father wing silhouetted through the closer wing's translucency had hard, sharp edges. The edges were softened to keep the lower-depths underwater effect.
  • Secondary: Striation (Fathom F) had the offset correction uploaded. The last correction didn't overwrite the existing files correctly.
  • Tertiary: Filigree (Pearlcatcher H) had missing lineart around the side of the stomach area added in.
  • Tertiary: Glimmer (Ridgeback F) The shadow color is the same greyish tan no matter the tertiary color.
  • Tertiary: Smirch (Spiral M) had a pattern bleed in the wings went go beyond the silhouette of the dragon. This was cleaned up.
Chorus, Choir, + Parallels Error Thread

Forum Post | Bug Report Forums | By Undel
Please check the known issues and working-as-intended sections before making a report!

To be notified of any gene fixes and updates, please subscribe to this Pinglist:
This thread is to track any gene errors that occur with the new Chorus and Choir genes for modern and veilspun dragons.

In this thread, players may report any errors they encounter with the new genes. These can be technical errors, or consistency issues. This thread is intended to focus on these potential errors so that they can be addressed swiftly.

We define technical errors as things such as: pattern bleed, pixellation, halo effects, inconsistencies within the same breed, color swatch errors, genes being uploaded in place of other genes, misaligned templates, missing artwork, gaps, missing pixels along a seam, missing line art, stray pixels, patterns that bleed outside the silouette, etc.


We define consistency/style differences as differences between an existing gene and its counterparts on other breeds that may differ. Sometimes this is intentional, sometimes it's an oversight. If a style difference is brought up, we will confirm it as working as intended, or report it as an error and complete the change within a 45-day time limit.


Please report any errors you encounter and we will do our best to correct them in a timely manner. This thread will close out 45 days after release, on November 29, 2024. After this time, players may report technical issues with these and other gene errors in the Modern Gene Error Backlog Thread, but further consistency issues will not be accepted for review and will be considered working as intended.



Note that it may take a short while for the site's internal image cache to reflect the corrected image assets.

Corrected Issues
  • Primary: Chorus (Bogsneak M, Veilspun H) - one of the gradient fades was not dynamically recoloring.
  • Primary: Chorus (Bogsneak F) - The pattern offset was corrected.
  • Primary: Chorus (Mirror M) - The base color of the body was using standard basic base color rather than the unique base colors of this gene pair.
  • Secondary: Choir (All Nocturne) - The neck frill shadow were restored.
  • Secondary: Choir (Bogsneak M, Veilspun H) - one of the gradient fades was not dynamically recoloring.
  • Secondary: Choir (Obelisk H) - A missing mane fade was added in to match the adults.
  • Tertiary: Thorns (Dusthide) - The edge accent color of each spine was added in to be consistent with thorns on other breeds. The belly thorn placements were adjusted.
  • Chorus | Choir Edges - When viewed against a dark background, some of the colors had a pixel halo. This halo has been removed.
  • Chorus | Choir Colors - Generally speaking, the unique colors and dark accents of Chorus and Choir were considered working as intended. However, we adjusted some of the exceptionally dark blacks to still be very dark, but backed off of that extreme by a small amount. This should result in keeping the high contrast. Here is a visual example of the changes that occured to the outline colors. The adjustment affected these colors only, only to the outline, and did not affect any of the gradients or accent colors.
    a visual example of the differences that will be applied to the gene. This is a chart showing extremely dark colors next to still-very-dark-colors that are slightly lighter.


Known Issues
  • Primary: Chorus (Coatl H) - The head fluff is missing an accent color present on the adults.
  • Secondary: Choir (Skydancer F) - The mane gradient is a bit heavy in comparison to the other poses.


Investigating (Not sure if issue or not)


Working as intended
  • Chorus Mirror and Fae horns/crests having a pattern and not the horn color was an intentional design choice. Dragons with horns that behave more like horns do have the natural horn color intact in this gene.
  • Chorus | Choir There is a belly accent fade present in chorus and choir. This not showing up in the wing is considered intentional.
  • Chorus | Choir Colors Aside from the colors called out in the "Known issues" section, the wild accent colors and unique bases of this gene are considered working as intended.
  • Chorus | Choir The nails of the dragons and whether or not they are colored follows the primary version of dragon genes. Many original breeds do not have dynamic nails.
  • Chorus The tear drops on the fae wings follow the arc of the markings. So there are no teardrops in the final fae female digit because we felt it looks better to have the arc where it currently is.




I will be deleting reports that are not relevant to the genes released in the Chorus and Choir update, reports that have been corrected, reports are not considered an issue, duplicate reports, and discussion or chatter as I encounter/investigate them to keep the thread current with gene reports only.


This thread is accepting reports on the following genes only:

We have an update and additional information about the now-completed Fathom F Secondary technical fixes.
Fathom Release Gene Error Thread
Oct 11, 2024, 14:26:04
Forum Post | Bug Report Forums | By Undel
Hey everyone, thank you for your feedback and making your voices heard, especially to those that helped keep the direction of the threads in Flight Rising Discussion and the Suggestions forum constructive. We know your Fathoms and their aesthetics are important to you and that you're feeling concerned or upset over the seeming lack of communication regarding the technical fix we rolled out for Fathom F secondary genes. This was concerning for us, as the fixes were notated and documented in the Fathom Gene Error thread in real time. We've gone over previous gene fixes, what went well, and what happened with the Fathom fixes. We have an update for everyone and information to share on what to expect going forward with gene fixes.


The change:
This was a technical correction, an inconsistency within the same breed. We have defined inconsistencies within the same breed as technical errors since the implementation of the 45 day style consistency window and system we now use for style corrections vs technical corrections. The hatchling pose and the M pose both had the "wrist" of the outside of the wing be the secondary color, and the inside of the wing be the primary color. The F pose originally had the primary showing across the back/outside of the wing, which was inconsistent with how both the hatchling and the m pose coverage presented. Technical errors may be addressed at any time, and as an inconsistency within the same breed, this was one of those fixes.


We define technical errors as things such as: pattern bleed, pixelation, halo effects, inconsistencies within the same breed, color swatch errors, genes being uploaded in place of other genes, misaligned templates, missing artwork, gaps, missing pixels along a seam, missing line art, stray pixels, patterns that bleed outside the silouette, etc.


We define consistency/style differences as differences between an existing gene and its counterparts on other breeds that may differ. Sometimes this is intentional, sometimes it's an oversight. If a style difference is brought up, we will confirm it as working as intended, or report it as an error and complete the change within a 45-day time limit.



Communication:
This issue was noted while the Fathom gene error thread and consistency window was open, with notations that it would be addressed after thread closure so that the coverage change was applied on top of any other fixes or changes that were reported within the thread, to avoid duplicating work.

Undel wrote on 2024-07-29 23:17:43:
This thread is now closed for consistency issues. If you run into technical issues with the Fathom breed release slate of genes, please report them to the Backlog - Modern Gene Errors thread.





Post-Thread Issues



Secondaries on Fathom F - Fathom F pose does not have the outside "wrist/hand" of the wing colored in the secondary colored and faded like the M and H pose do.

This issue is considered a technical issue as it is an inconsistency within the same breed, and will be actioned on shortly after this thread closes. This will be corrected last, after all consistency issues are closed out, as being able to batch action the templates to a new secondary base after all pattern issues have been corrected would be the most efficient way to handle this.

Updates were provided within the thread itself as to the progress of the fixes. The bulk of the Fathom F secondary corrections went in on August 21, 2024, with Clouded, Constellation, Current, and Shimmer outstanding. Clouded, constellation, current, and a fix for an offset on striation went in on October 6th, and Shimmer went in today. These changes were noted within the thread as they were applied.


Going Forward:
Though the thread was being updated, players may not have known to continue to check it for information once the consistency/style fixes were applied and closed out. We should have created a new thread for this fix or moved the updates to it to the modern technical errors thread, as these would have been more logical choices to keep players up-to-date on what was happening.

This was a case of us using a closed release thread past its expiration date. In the future, any technical errors that are corrected past the closure of an initial gene/breed release technical/consistency combo thread will receive their own reply in the stickied, long-term technical errors thread rather than an edit to a closed thread. These new replies will ensure that they show up in the dev tracker and should provide more visibility to the updates that are occurring around the site.

  • Tertiary: Flameforger (Aether M) - The flames at the end of the wing near the edge of the canvas had their shaping adjusted. Note that this was not a part of the Aether gene expansion, but it was released within a similar timeframe and was still within its 45 day window for consistency changes.
  • Tertiary: Koi (Aether F, M) - The gene now applies over the toe pads/beans and is consistent with other breeds that have this gene.
  • Tertiary: Veined (All Aether) - The corners on this gene were sharper than on previous breeds. Shaping adjusted.

The overlaid text reads Drakeharvest, September 5-8, Plant Bounty, EXP Boost & Event Rewards! The banner image is of a Waxwing bird familiar with red feathers and a pointy crest. Its tail appears to be made of trailing wheat rather than feathers. In the background is a field of grain.

Autumn has returned to Sornieth and dragons everywhere are reaping the benefits of a bountiful harvest season! Drakeharvest runs from September 5-9, and brings with it a bounty of rewards!




Drakeharvest
Drakeharvest, Flight Rising's plant-themed "micro-holiday", is in full swing! From Thursday, September 5th (06:00 Server Time) to Monday, September 9th (06:00 Server Time), all players will experience a couple of battle-related boosts!



Bountiful Battles
For the duration of Drakeharvest, all enemies will have a chance to drop
Heavy Grainbasket or Horn of Plenty in addition to their regular loot
. Other site activities such as gathering, breeding, bonding, brewing, and visiting some of the trading post dragons will also yield a chance at the harvest! Dragon clans everywhere are taking this time to stock up on fruits, veggies, fungi, seeds, flowers, and grains to prepare for the cold winter months.

Heavy Grainbasket Horn of Plenty


Battle EXP Boost
During the event, all battles will yield 50% additional EXP, so now is a perfect time for dragons to train. Grab your newest team and head out into battle!


Plant-Pinching Pests
The prosperous harvest season doesn't come without its drawbacks. A pilfering species of crab and waxwings have taken to the fields and foodstores in droves to make off with as much as they can carry! For the duration of Drakeharvest, Harvest Hardshell and Plantation Pincher familiars will drop fairly commonly in the Coliseum. Once the harvest has concluded, they'll go back into hiding, but may run into one or two while foraging. Harvest Waxwing and Waxwing Cultivator will also drop from the Coliseum and rarely from all type of gathering activities.

A vista and scene have a chance to drop in the coliseum and many other site-related activities.

Post-Thread Issues
  • Secondaries on Fathom F - Fathom F pose does not have the outside "wrist/hand" of the wing colored in the secondary colored and faded like the M and H pose do.

    This issue is considered a technical issue as it is an inconsistency within the same breed, and will be actioned on shortly after this thread closes. This will be corrected last, after all consistency issues are closed out, as being able to batch action the templates to a new secondary base after all pattern issues have been corrected would be the most efficient way to handle this.

Aether Gene Expansion Errors

Forum Post | Bug Report Forums | By Undel
Please check the known issues and working-as-intended sections before making a report!

This thread is to track any gene errors that occur with the Aether Gene Expansion. This thread is for the newly released Aether genes only, and does not encompass previously released genes.

In this thread, players may report any errors they encounter with the new genes. These can be technical errors, or consistency issues. This thread is intended to focus on these potential errors so that they can be addressed swiftly

We define technical errors as things such as: pattern bleed, pixelation, halo effects, inconsistencies within the same breed, color swatch errors, genes being uploaded in place of other genes, misaligned templates, missing artwork, gaps, missing pixels along a seam, missing line art, stray pixels, patterns that bleed outside the silhouette, etc.


We define consistency/style differences as differences between an existing gene and its counterparts on other breeds that may differ. Sometimes this is intentional, sometimes it's an oversight. If a style difference is brought up, we will confirm it as working as intended, or report it as an error and complete the change within a 45-day time limit.


Please report any errors you encounter and we will do our best to correct them in a timely manner. This thread will close out 45 days after release, on October 5th, 2024. After this time, players may report technical issues with these and other gene errors in the Modern Gene Error Backlog Thread, or the Ancient Gene Error Backlog Thread, but further consistency issues will not be accepted for review and will be considered working as intended.




Note that it may take a short while for the site's internal image cache to reflect the corrected image assets.

Corrected Issues
  • Primary: Chrysocolla (All Aether) - The horns and spines were using the basic color fills rather than the Chrysocolla pattern.
  • Primary: Crystal (All Aether) - The teeth of the dragon were not colored in.
  • Primary: Fern (Aether M) - The belly highlights were extended to the tail.
  • Primary: Ground (All Aether) - The horn and claw accent colors were inconsistent with every other instance of this gene, and have been corrected.
  • Primary: Python (All Aether) - The accent gradient coverage was brought in line with modern dragons displaying this gene.
  • Primary: Slime (Aether F, M) - The mouths and teeth of the dragons were obscured by color bleed.
  • Primary: Tapir (All Aether) - The markings on this gene were thicker than in the modern version of the gene. They have been corrected.
  • Primary: Vipera (Aether H) - There was a color bleed on the bulb of the tail.
  • Primary: Wasp (All Aether) - Additional highlights were added to the furred areas of this gene.
  • Secondary: Chess (Aether F, M) - The gradient on the left wing of M pose was adjusted to be more subtle. Both adults given second wing edge stripe.
  • Secondary: Chess (Aether F, M) - The edge markings have been adjusted again to better flow with the wing.
  • Secondary: Jester (All Aether) - The gradient along the body does did not extend into the wing as in the modern version of the gene.
  • Secondary: Paisley (All Aether) - The swirls and filigree pattern were added to the "wing/membrane" portion of the tail.
  • Secondary: Striation (All Aether) - The striped pattern was brought further into the wing.
  • Secondary: Striation (All Aether) - The markings on this gene were thicker than in the modern version of the gene. They have been corrected.
  • Tertiary: Angler (All Aether) - The accent gradient did not come out far enough into each doodlebobber.
  • Tertiary: Capsule (All Aether) - The color gradient was not as strong as on other breeds.
  • Tertiary: Capsule (All Aether) - The doubled up shadow layer was corrected.
  • Tertiary: Crackle (All Aether) - The crackle middle and exterior width were increased along with some shaping adjustments.
  • Tertiary: Firefly (All Aether) - The firefly on the nose was clipping into the standard-eye placement, independent of special eye effects. It has been relocated to the forehead.
  • Tertiary: Flameforger (Aether M) - The flames at the end of the wing near the edge of the canvas had their shaping adjusted. Note that this was not a part of the Aether gene expansion, but it was released within a similar timeframe and was still within its 45 day window for consistency changes.
  • Tertiary: Koi (All Aether) - A pixel halo was corrected.
  • Tertiary: Koi (Aether F, M) - The gene now applies over the toe pads/beans and is consistent with other breeds that have this gene.
  • Tertiary: Ornaments (Orca, Cyan) - The highlight color selected was not showing up well.
  • Tertiary: Spores (All Aether) - More of the tertiary color was brought into the spore vents.
  • Tertiary: Tentacles (Aether H) - The tentacle was clipping into the main eye area, independent of special eye effects.
  • Tertiary: Thylacine (Aether F) - The stripes across the shoulders were adjusted to take overlap into account.
  • Tertiary: Thylacine (Aether H) - The pattern clipping across the hatchling's spines was removed.
  • Tertiary: Thylacine (Aether M) - There was an abrupt cuttoff in the tail's fur to body that didn't follow the linework.
  • Tertiary: Veined (All Aether) - The corners on this gene were sharper than on previous breeds. Shaping adjusted.


Known Issues


Investigating (Not sure if issue or not)


Working as intended
  • Multi-Gaze & Line-Breaking Tertiaries: Sadly, the multi gaze and line breaking tertiary issue is a technical limitation. Eyes must always layer over the primary, secondary, and tertiary genes, and they are not contextually aware of what is below them and able to alter their shape to accommodate. This is a limitation with all of our dragons that have line breaking tertiaries.
  • Flecks - The highlights are visible and considered correct.
  • Braids - The braids being present in the thick chest fur of the Aethers instead of the head is intended.
  • Fans - The fans gene on Ancients has sharp, pointed spines. The decision was made to offset these from the Aether's short, thick, round spines, as layering them on top created a clipping issue with the dragon's base (every primary gene).
  • Slime/Sludge - The effect showing cut offs of forms behind the Aether's arms is considered intended and matches what happens in the modern version of the gene.
  • Harlequin - Some of the colors in this gene are very dark. This is consistent with the modern version of the gene.
  • Soap - The highlight intensity is considered within the acceptable range of variation for the gene.
  • Falcon - The markings being very dark on certain colors is considered intended and matches the modern version of the gene.
  • Medusa - The number of snakes is not a considered an issue. The snake head shaping was determined not to be disruptive.
  • Porcupine - The markings matching Auraboa/Undertide is considered working as intended.
  • Thorns - The shaping on the thorns is considered working as intended.




I will be deleting reports that are not relevant to the Aether Gene Expansion new release, reports that have been corrected, reports are not considered an issue, duplicate reports, and discussion or chatter as I encounter/investigate them to keep the thread current with gene reports only.

Note that it may take a short while for the site's internal image cache to reflect the corrected image assets.

Corrected Issues
  • All Banescale - The eye spines were not going behind the horn.
  • Banescale F - The rear wing was missing spikes along the elbow.
  • Veilspun F - Plating was added along the tail to better match the genes on other breeds and poses.
  • Veilspun M - The hind leg plates were not depicted as being in shadow.
  • All Veilspun - Some of the places where the hair meets the spines was adjusted to read better.
  • Highlights - (all breeds) Colors were adjusted to allow the shine to be more visible, and to lighten the color below it. This was mainly to better allow highlights to show up on colors like white, antique, and pistachio, which were too light to properly show the highlight color. Colors like grapefruit had a highlight that was actually darker than the base, resulting in an effect that did not look shiny.

The overlaid text reads - Warrior's Way - The finest fighters gather each year for this limited time event! The banner image depicts a ferret-like Psywurm with a pale gold mane and teal skin. In the background is the scene of a stockade.

Warrior's Way is a battle-themed event calling for warriors, smiths, armorers, and other ferocious creatures to prove their metal and their mettle!




Welcome to Warrior's Way!
Image is of a tan pamphlet

Come one, come all to Warrior's Way! This new annual event will take place every August for only the fiercest and most skilled competitors! Warrior's Way will run from 06:00 server time on August 7th to 06:00 server time on August 17th this year. Please read the pamphlet above for more information on this fantastic event!

A Lore Note From Willow, Warrior’s Way Coordinator:
We at Warrior’s Way are thrilled to announce amenities funding from the merchants of The Grand Exchange! We’d especially like to thank Arvelle for her generous donation towards our food budget. She is rather keen on acquiring the discarded trash from this years event, so do be sure to stop by and provide her with whatever you are able to collect. She even hands out trophies for your efforts, and we applaud her enthusiasm with keeping the battlefield free of debris.

Finally, we regret to announce that the first Warrior’s Way champion will not be joining us this year…or any year after.

(On a related note: The duties and responsibilities of the Champion do not—I REPEAT, DO NOT—include confronting Luminax, of all the blasted Spiral-brained egotistical—ahem. The Champion is not called upon to actually champion in actual combat. We thank you for your understanding and for your cooperation in this matter.)




How to Participate
During Warrior's Way, broken equipment may be found across the site by participating in daily actives. All enemies in the coliseum have a chance at dropping broken equipment currrencies, but themed Warrior's Way enemies will have a higher chance of doing so! From now until the end of the event there is a 50% Coliseum experience bonus!

The following corrections went in today:
  • Primary: Fade - All Fathom - The snout gradients were adjusted to better match moderns. Note that the lower jaw is considered part of the belly and is treated like the Obelisk.
  • Primary: Flaunt - Fathom M - The abrupt gradient transition in the belly was corrected.
  • Primary: Jaguar - Fathom H - The backs of the ears were patterned to match the adults and modern versions of the gene.
  • Primary: Skink- All Fathom - The highlight color across the eye was carried across the entire eye band.
  • Secondary: Blend - Fathom F, M - The gradient near the wing "wrist" was intensified.
  • Secondary: Eel - Fathom M - A missing band of color in the chin fin was added in.
    Secondary: Eye Spots - All Fathom - The pattern has been added to the chin and tail fins.
  • Secondary: Morph - All Fathom - The gradient accent color was made stronger to better match the other modern breeds.
  • Secondary: Paint - Fathom F - The Piebald markings on the chin and arm fins were given more variance in Piebald coverage.
  • Secondary: Paisley - Fathom H - The arm fins of the hatchling received pattern like the adults had.
