Color/Gene Inconsistencies

Sky should have purple ear-fins. Putting this on my to-do list.

The clown stripe thing is correct. Mirror dragons have their belly color on their face as well, so it doesn't always show up well because the breed has that special characteristic.

Thanks for the report!

Oh FR, you're gonna be in debug mode for months to come. ;_;

Would you believe we recently went through a week ago and gave everything a nerf? >.>; Enemies have no augment stones and have 1/5 - 1/3 of their stat points left unspent. They should be less powerful than a dragon of the same level.

Where they get most players is that scorched forest sees most of the enemies having equipped their elemental bolts and slashes. Elemental bolts and slashes become available to dragons at level 5. Having a bolt or slash equipped should level the playing field.

Having a tough time keeping my eyes open. I don't think it's gonna make it tonight. You'll have it tomorrow, or you'll have my head on a platter.

(Also, my head is now a unicorn, so it would probably taste like pure joy. The joy garnered from eating the unicorn head may in fact exceed the joy you would have from the seraph-gene, so I'm not certain that you shouldn't be rooting for my failure.)
Obvious multi accounts

You can absolutely send familiars and hatchlings to your friends and family.

To reiterate, funneling nearly all the resources from one account into another while on the same IP is one of our red flags. Not the only one by any means. Please play with your friends how you enjoy. :)

If you're a single player with a single account, chances are very very very very very low that you're going to throw up any of the other things we look for, even if you gift things to your friends. Our multi-account lookout measures are pretty generous so as to avoid interferring with non-multi-accounters. You shouldn't have to worry about it. :-)
Oh geez

No regrets.
Obvious multi accounts
Jul 06, 2013, 20:52:09
I've been getting a few notes about this, so I thought I'd clarify real quick:

We’re not going to ban people for occasionally pooling money. We take many factors into consideration for multi-account bans, most of which I won’t be listing because it would read out as a “how to avoid getting caught cheating guide" for players who want to register 10+ accounts.

Folks were asking how NOT to get into trouble if there’s multiple people sharing the same computer. If you’re sharing the same computer, one account dumping all of its money into another account on a regular basis looks kinda bad, and is certainly ONE of the factors we look at when investigating multi-accounters. :-)

Occasionally pooling treasure with someone will not get you banned. Apologies for any confusion.

Forum views are down for the time being. Akiri and Thrage have been streamlining the forums so the site performs better, and the view count was something that needed an overhaul.

If there's russian bride ads, those gotta go. We need a name (and preferably a url as well) to be able to ban them from the ad network.

I have the bitdefender ad up now and it seems to be behaving. I'll keep an eye on it. I'm hovering and scrolling and switching tabs, and I can't get it to move me away from the site (I'm on Chrome on a pc and on an android phone.). I'm thinking it somehow got clicked or activated, but to be sure I'm going to try browsing the site in a couple other browsers today to see if I can get bitdefender to activate without a click to verify this theory.

Akiri's been banning stuff as it comes up. Thank you for the reports guys. :-)
  • Filipino cupid should no longer show up.
  • If you can screencap or provide the url for the man with the woman on his lap, we can see about getting that removed too.
  • Wounded warrior is a public service advertisement (we don't get paid for those) along with a handful of others such as smokey the bear, rescue efforts, ect. We will temporarily ban wounded warrior's ads later today from showing up, because we agree that it's a big explicit for the site; however, we'll likely unban them in the future because its' a great project. (we want to wait long enough for them to cycle the ad image they're using to a new campaign.)
  • We'll have to see the dexter ad first. We don't want to ban all of showtime from advertising, and if the ad is in good taste it'll likely stick around. If there's blood/knives/violence, we will ban it.

Correct. You can only have one of each gene type.
Paypal not working??

Forum Post | Help Center | By Undel
I just tried making a purchase with paypal and it went through fine.

Earlier today Akiri removed google checkout as a payment method. Google is retiring google checkout, so he needed to take it down and begin the preparations for hooking up google wallet instead. I do not think that it should have affected paypal though.

Akiri was working on that last night. Google checkout is being retired (by google) and google wallet is being used instead. We're making the move to the google wallet system. We may also look at a third payment option in the future so that folks can use whatever payment system is most convenient for them.

The odds are in your favor. The lone egg is a rare, but possible outcome. Sorry to hear about your lonely hatchling. I hope your next nest has better luck! (The odds are in your favor that it will. :-) )

Here's the exact percentage chance to better help see how it works:

When you interbreed 2 dragons of different species, this table is used: A chance at a 5th egg is added because you rolled the dice with species outcome.
  • 5 eggs (5%)
  • 4 eggs (10%)
  • 3 eggs (45%)
  • 2 eggs (30%)
  • 1 egg (10%)

If you breed two dragons of the same species, this table is used:
  • 4 eggs (12%)
  • 3 eggs (40%)
  • 2 eggs (38%)
  • 1 egg (10%)

You're very likely to get 2 or 3 eggs, and you're more likely to get 4 eggs than one. :-) I think it averages out to a little over 2.7 and 2.5 per clutch. The dragon population more than doubles every 15 - 30 days. (depending on cooldown). Single egg nests are supposed to be an occasional and mildly disappointing event. Equally, a five egg nest is supposed to be a rare and exhilarating stroke of luck.
Dragons have the wrong wing colors!

This is an Undel bug. Sorry about the mix-up!

I'll resolve it when I redo fae female shimmer wings. (You'll notice their wings have black outlines. These are old files left over from alpha.)

Same deal with the bodies. You'll notice the bodies have black outlines too. Leftover iridescent art from alpha. They're due to be replaced.

When the new files are uploaded, you'll be able to regenerate your image by equipping and unequipping a piece of apparel. Should look much nicer. :-)

Google is not instantly processing payments at the moment so I removed it to reduce issued that non-instant receipt of gems usually causes. Once their processing catches back up, I'll be adding them back.

Hatchling Age Problem

They will grow up at the same time as they would have normally.Their birth date/time is how they age, not by the estimated days.

Rounding down should hopefully lead to less confusing than rounding up in the estimates. :-)
Hatchling Age Problem
Jul 05, 2013, 04:57:34
Forum Post | Bug Report Forums | By Undel
Akiri made hatchling ages round down, rather than up. This is a new change, so that's why your hatchling's age looks different.

Their birth date/time is still the same in the system, so your aging should be unaffected.

Lorewise, a dragon or clan could certainly be exiled, but it wouldn't change their elemental magic or properties, which were imbued at birth.
Fae neck length
Jul 05, 2013, 04:54:12

Can I just point out....
....where the male Fae's tail-tip is in that picture.

That bothered me MORE than any neck issue.

Can&#039;t unsee either. ><; I guess I need to recollage that image.

Both fae have long neck. I agree that the image is misleading, but it is what it is. The males is bunched up i a similar fold to the females behind his frills. In recent breeds I&#039;ve tried to be more mindful of obscured features that look off, as well as odd tangents.

The one egg clutch is a bad dice roll, not something imposed on imperial dragons or anything of that nature. All of our dragon species behave the same. I&#039;m contact you privately about your cooldown glitch, which we have been tracking since it happened. :-)
