Yes, as in they are colored in. They don't get the special "awakened + owned" background if you get rid of them though.


They will stay in the discovered tab and be colored in.

Anything that doesn't have a www1 in the url has a very high chance of being reworked at some point in the future, as we're trying to standardize our programming. Stuff without the www1 is super ancient "legacy" code.

While our engineers standardize these areas, we also look at the suggestions forum and try and incorporate some improvements alongside the code update. :)

Hey folks! This was some additional functionality that never really got off the ground. Haven't made plans one way or another as a team to keep it in, but thanks for your thoughts on it!

Quick reminder for everyone to please stay on topic. If you have any suggestions about a gameplay feature you'd like to see, be sure to head on over to our Suggestions Forum and post your ideas!

Today we've launched our revamp for the Flight Rising Bestiary, which includes a refreshed style, expanded and compact views, and additional sorting options.

Bestiary: Revamped!

As we continue to work on revamping the old code of Flight Rising, we're happy to report that the Bestiary Revamp is now complete!


Tabs Are Helpful!

Tabs were a popular suggestion not just for our revamp to the Lair and addition of the Hibernal Den, but for the Bestiary, too! Keeping with that design philosophy, we've broken the Bestiary into three (3) distinct tabs:

• Discovered: This includes all familiars that you currently own a copy of (Hoard/Vault/dragon), and/or those that you've advanced to a bond level of Awakened.
• Undiscovered: This includes all familiars that you do not own a current copy of, and never reached awakened.
• All: This tab is similar to the old Bestiary. It will show all familiars, regardless of ownership or bond level.

Filtering, Sorting, Searching

In addition to sorting familiars into tabs, we have also added the following options, available by clicking the magnifying glass button:

• Filter for familiars that are located in a specific location, such as the Lair, Hibernal Den, Hoard, and Vault.
• Filter by specific bond level.
• Search by familiar name.
• Sort alphabetically or by familiar item ID.

Display Modes and Clear Iconography

While filtering options are great, we wanted to provide players with more choices on how the familiar entries in the Bestiary are displayed, and make sure each of those entries was clearly branded with helpful icons that are recognizable without needing to read anything.

It is now possible to display up to sixty (60) familiars per page, and you can choose to compress the familiar entries in our new Compact Mode, which will hide all familiars' descriptions. If you are in Compact Mode, you can still expand a single familiar to read its description without changing the view mode back. If you'd prefer to view all familiars in compact mode by default every time, that is an option that you can change under account settings.

Each familiar entry is further equipped with three (3) icons, which become colorized if you meet their criteria:

• The chest icon denotes familiars that you have a copy of within your Hoard or Vault.
• The dragon wing icon denotes familiars that you have a copy of attached to a dragon in either your Lair or Hibernal Den.
• The heart icon denotes the highest bond level you've achieved with that familiar.

Colorful Bestiaries

Bestiaries now have quite a bit more color! Here's how your familiars will now display:

• Grayscale Familiar Art- Familiars that you do not own and have not achieved the Awakened bond level with.
• Colorized Familiar Art - Familiars that you own (either in your Hoard/Vault or attached to dragons in your Lair/Hibernal Den).
• Colorized Familiar Art - Familiars that have achieved the Awakened bond level, but are no longer within your Hoard/Vault or attached to dragons in your Lair/Hibernal Den.
• Colorized Familiar Art + Background - Familiars that have both achieved the Awakened bond level and are either in your Hoard/Vault or attached to a dragon in your Lair/Hibernal Den.

Riot of Rot Skin Contest

The seventh annual Riot of Rot will begin October 27, 2019, and we're running a skin and accent contest in celebration! Click here for more information!

Snapper emoji are now available!

@GalacticExplorer Sorry, I wasn't very clear.

1. Automatic reshuffles only happen only when you initiate a shuffle and the result from that shuffle is an immediate dead end.

2. When a reshuffle occurs, it includes all tiles, not just the hidden ones.

3. By "in the background" I meant "in the code". You never see a reshuffle happen because rejected shuffles are never animated - that would just waste your time.

*sees ping*

*reviews thread*

Oh.

Soooo, I think it's time to lock the thread. It's not exactly a discussion and *waves hands upthread* that. No one's in trouble but best not to post threads like this going forward. Thank you!

@McChicken - The shuffle action is truly random. However, the game will check for at least 1 valid move and, if it doesn't find any, will automatically re-shuffle for you up to 10 times with no affect on your score. This action is instant and happens in the background.

Unfortunately, it sounds like you hit a streak of very bad luck, had a difficult layout situation, or a combination of both of those things.

Dragon Share Theme Week: Steampunk Dragons!

Anyone who has had ad issues between October 04, 2019 18:56:54 and now - we believe that issues taking place during that time are not Flight Rising's advertising networks. We have shut off ads and defaulted to showing a single banner ad for hiveworks and are not showing real advertising from any ad network, and have been since the 4th while we try and narrow where there pop-up issue is coming from.

So if it's still happening, I would strongly recommend checking your system for malware or extensions that insert ads.

For now we are serving hiveworks ads while Hiveworks looks into the issue.

Thank you for the reports everyone. I'm forwarding these onto @hiveworks.

Whenever possible, the inspect element and screenshot of the code to give us the source of the problem gives us a useful information as to what's wrong. The other reports sadly are difficult to act on, other then allowing us to know "yes, there is a problem" but it doesn't tell us where specifically the problem is located.

Thanks @Natakiro - the Filter should now be raised a bit so it won't overlap the new navigation.

There are some ways on android to do it, but on iphone/safari it's a bit more complex. If you can't view the source to give us the ad tags inside, a report with the ad, your browser, operating system, and a screenshot of the ad can still be somewhat useful. It's just not a direct arrow pointing to "problem is here" that inspect element is for us.

Have you encountered a bad ad? We have a new advertising report thread with instructions on how to make the best report possible!

Thank you for the reports everyone!

I am closing this thread very soon. We are starting a new thread: Advertising Report Thread 2.0

The new thread contains the instructions to best report ads in a way that allows us to do something about it! Flight Rising is served by several ad networks, managed by Hiveworks. Each of these networks has its own rotation of ads, sometimes in the millions. Without knowing more about the ad, it can be difficult to know which network to report it to, or which network needs a time-out while it gets its act together.

Screenshots and destination urls don't provide us this information. We need to know where the ad came from. The new thread provides instructions on how to make the best report with information we can act on.

If its not possible to inspect an ad due to your device or redirects making it impossible, it's still fine to report the old fashioned way. But reporting with the inspect element information truly gives us the best chance of getting an offending ad off our site.

Flight Rising uses a series of ad networks to serve advertising to the website and help support the site. Our partner, Hiveworks, manages these networks and keeps things running smoothly.

However, sometimes a bad ad or series of ads will slip into a network that we use. When that happens, reports from our players can help us track down the source of the ad so that we can report it to appropriate network and have it removed.

---

To report an ad for breaking our rules, right click the ad in your browser and choose the "inspect" option, if available. This will tell us more about where the ad came from, which is not always the same as the image url or where clicking on it will take you. This information gives us the best shot of removing the ad from our rotation.

Screenshot everything inside the ad tags. There should be text that says "Screenshot from here down when reporting bad ads" at the top and "End Screenshot for reporting bad ads" at the bottom. If you can't fit it all in one screenshot, note that items towards the top of that segment will generally be more useful.

This will show us the cascading chain of where the ad originated from in our ad networks that we use! With this information, we can report the ad to the network containing it and hopefully get it removed!

---

Please note that sometimes ads that you encounter are beyond our control to do anything about. This can be because an ad is a targeted ad and will show you things based on your browsing history. It can also be because you have malware installed on your system. In both of these cases, the ads would be unique to your machine and browsing experience.

Thank you for the report! This should now be fixed.

Update- thanks for the screenshot!

Yes, that's not the new navigation, that's broken navigation. It's not loading in all of the new style due to old cached files. Completely clearing out your browser's cache will fix it.

Hi @galacticTopiary

Without a screenshot, it's difficult to be certain, but based on your description, I think you're not actually seeing all of the NEW navigation style yet. Please try to clear your browser's cache, which should allow it to load in correctly.

The pagination should look like it does in this announcement:
http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/2759344

Thanks

Thank you for the reports. This should now be fixed!

Thank you for the reports. Clan page comments have been updated!

This appears to happen mostly in the forums, so we've added a special case where longer numbers will be shrunk slightly to fit.

Thanks for the report everyone!

For those still viewing pagination that is visually broken, we’ve tested another way to force the cache to fully clear. If your browser supports private mode or private tabs, switch to that mode, view the broken page, refresh, then return back to normal browsing.

Note: you will probably need to log in when you switch to private mode, but it won’t log you out when you return to normal mode.

Thanks @Tserin

We're reviewing some options for these scenarios and I'll post here once a solution is picked.

@Rookery - Okay, let's try to force your browser to load the specific file that's missing:

Please clear your cache once more, then immediately load this file, then refresh it
http://flightrising.com/includes/2_2.css

It should just be a page of text, but I'm hoping your browser will start using THAT code instead of what's stored locally.

Thanks!

Thanks all, The numbers will now be broken up if the page count gets too long.

@remuslupn Mobile browsers are particularly tricky - since they're designed to remember as much about old page versions as possible to save on data.

I can tell for certain that it's still holding onto some of the old cache data, although I'm not sure why.

When clearing the cache, did you select a short time frame, or "all time"? Did you check the box to delete images AND files?

Hi @Rookery

It looks like your browser has loaded some of the new code, but not all of it. Have you already tried clearing your browser's cache?

This update involves more than updated images, and we're finding that the standard refresh just isn't cutting it for some people.

@Forumsdackel - A separate Vault bug should now be squashed as well.

@ColorBlindBrat - Are you currently experiencing this in the hoard, vault, or both?

Thanks!

@Sssasha - Please try now.

If that doesn't do it on its own, try another cache clear and then try it again.

Thank you!

Thank you @Sssasha

A fix is in the works.
