Dev Tracker

Swipp will be losing a few of his swaps that are non-exclusive once we hit 50 total swaps. We're still building up to the number of swaps we'd like to see. We launched with only 5 Swipp exclusives and have been steadily building up from there.

Yesterday we did reduce the component requirements for some of the more ridiculous swaps. They will be noted in our next update's changelog. :)

Just restarted the games, let me know how it goes!

@Ankokou, we recently moved over to Zendesk and we've been transitioning emails over. If you would like, send in a fresh Contact Us and we can resume our dialogue.

edit: We = Flight Rising :)

@Helmintio, thank you very much for the information, we've been aware of this for some time and are working on a long-term solution. Please understand that we will not be able to go into an in depth, detailed discussion of our back-end services on our public forums.

@Helmintio, I believe the information is available in the response headers and that it is Apache.

@Helmintio, we've had New Relic since October.

@Gaia, sneak peeks are things we are actively working on and want to get to the players and into the game as soon as possible. We aren't going to tease you with features or genes that are a year out on the list.

@Sunguard, there are no plans at the moment to allow players to create custom apparel like Skins and accents; there are plans for contests which will allow the winner to share their concept and work with the artists to create new Flight Rising apparel.

@Gaia, we're still working on them, we're very excited about Tidal Trouble and want to get it out to the players as soon as possible! Recent events have, once again, delayed our progress.

@Lusitania, going through Contact Us is your best bet.

Is a copy of that familiar equipped to another dragon? You can only equip one of each familiar, even if you have multiple copies of it.

Please contact us through the contact form. We can sort it out there. :)

There are some hidden achivements (level 30, 40, ect) that are turned off for the time being until we raise the gathering cap. :)

We do try and grey out the names of dragons that can't be bred together, but after a few selections it gets murky. I assure you that if you had tried to breed them together by confirming it, it would have caught it at that point. Our previewer just has issues with multiple selections and auto-loading who is related to who. Something to look at for the future. :)

@RambunctiousCrow Our ads do not function that way, but malware absolutely does. Please give your computer a virus/malware scan. I'm afraid it looks as if you may have caught something nasty. :-(

@Vissivius Opening multiple tabs like a normal human being should not get you in trouble. @Nequam Control clicking dragons by hand should be fine too. :)

Sending the server dozens of pageloads in a few seconds will probably get you into trouble. (although if you're doing this by hand as a human being, I'm not sure how?) Avoid using scripts that automate your gameplay, as these cause problems for our site and have been against the terms of use for some time. We are working on solutions that prevent this sort of activity from happening in the first place, but we need everyone to try and be courteous in their browsing habits in the meantime. Thank you!

@hopestove, the "heavy load" message is due to the periodic back-end reset we are performing in order to preserve the site's integrity during our investigation of the malicious attacks/botting. These resets occur at :37 after the hour.

@Ankokou, as I previously stated I am not authorized to provide any additional information beyond what has already been said.

@Lusitania, @Ankokou -

I am sorry but due to the nature of these threats an explanation at this time of how to avoid being flagged and possibly actioned could simultaneously result in instructions on how to circumvent our progress. If you have any doubts about if what you're doing is wrong, please refer to our Terms of Use.

I am aware that this is not the answer many are seeking but I am not authorized to provide you with more information at this time. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding during this time.

@Loreyia, yes, please use Contact Us and be clear in your title what the problem is and use your email you have registered with Flight Rising.

@Anukai, we're not at a point where I am authorized to openly discuss the investigation. When we do have more information for players, we will make an announcement on the front page and shortly after that, our social media.

It is not temporary, but we can look into modifying its design a little bit.

This is an intentional tab that just went in - we're streamlining our customer service backend, and this is just another way for you to submit a request for assistance. :)

@Elaendorlien, I'm not surprised they've dropped back down. Intense Dominance battles require a large number of dragons.

As for forum threads, they are public and people are going to reply with their opinions or viewpoints. We encourage respectful, constructive discussion. We have also provided players with an 'Ignore' feature can be found at the top of their post as well as a 'Report' feature if their posts are not respectful or constructive.

@WhimsyBean, @Sachie, multiple tabs, opened manually/interacted with manually, or logging off and a family member logging on shortly after that is fine.

@Elaendorlien, I understand how upsetting it can be to see a clutch of beautiful hatchlings be Exalted. There was an intense Dominance battle this past week and over 85,000 dragons were sent to serve their deities.

Dominance is a feature of the game that pulls dragons out of the system in order to combat overpopulation, it awards the Flight with the most Exalted dragons with some nice benefits, and it rewards players with treasure and sometimes gems. It is a mechanic we want players to use.

As a general note for the thread, please remember to keep this discussion respectful and constructive.

Yes, yes it would.

We've been paying attention to the feedback generated by this particular battle, it's been very interesting and very informative, thank you to everyone who provided us with feedback.

@azrielen, if you are interested in being an artist for Flight Rising, feel free to send in your resume and portfolio to our direct email address. :)

@Bowno, @azrielen, hmm... I can't say yes...but I can't say no either. ;) Additional colors require a lot of artist time and effort. New colors are a very exciting prospect but not one that can be done quickly! :)

The people hitting 403:

How fast are you going through your Familiars or browsing the site?

Are you using keybinds to fly through multiple tabs?

@Snapdragon, @Draven, there is no one intended main source of income for a player. Anything that rewards treasure is a potential source of income for players. How you make your treasure or gems on Flight Rising is what you choose to do, how you choose to do.

We are open to adjusting or tweaking mechanics over time and have had some discussions of late to that effect.

@Tria, yup! Sorry for the delayed response, rollover happens in the middle of my night. Sleep, who needs it? :D

Anyway....
