Update: Silhouette Scroll

(Anonymous) 2020-09-15 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Gem MP item that allows you to swap your dragons pose

Glad they added this! Something I've wanted for a long time to get rid of the female WC poses in my lair

Wish it wasn't 400g/pop though, haha

sa

and I'm saying this as someone who's JUST grabbed my current dream dragon in the wrong sex off the fodder floor a few hours ago. it also makes a ton of sense for them to be genderfluid. i'm STILL pissed. it's like unlocking godmode after 200 hours of playing :(

Wow, they actually did it! I hope all the people who have requested it are happy. I've never felt a need for it myself but I know it was a popular suggestion.

I don't know why they changed Pinkerton's art too, but I kinda like it. He looks pissed, probably because he knows I'm going to go straight to Crim and sell her more crap as soon as I'm done with him lmao

Wow this..... seems like a cash grab and runs against the core mechanic of their game??? I mean I'll use it but I've always thought this suggestion was terrible for a breeding game. I guess they're finally admitting that their gem-buying cash cows are all G1 lairs with a million UMAs and that the breeding mechanic only produces fodder now despite being what the site was originally based on.

the playing field changed when they added new eye types and more colors

it can still take an obnoxiously long time to breed a perfect dragon, just maybe a little less now

It doesn't run against the core mechanic of the game,it's a pose change scroll not a gender change scroll.

I'm not as excited as most people about this update... I liked having the restrictions of pose. Making perfect dragons hard to find meant I felt more attachment to the ones I did. But whatever, I just won't use it

Re: Update: Silhouette Scroll

(Anonymous) 2020-09-15 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
oh that's cool this was added. i didn't think they ever would. this might even encourage me to continue with G1 projects that i shoved into my hibden, hmmm.

i don't want this for any of my main dragons though, they already have the best poses :>

Re: Update: Silhouette Scroll

(Anonymous) 2020-09-15 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a little annoyed because I picked my dragons' genders based on the poses I liked better, even though I wanted some of them to be the other gender. Now that it's possible to have both the pose AND gender that I wanted, it makes my dragons feel more imperfect. It's like the eye update where the answer is to just get new dragons, but I'm attached to mine and don't want to replace them.

Oh, that's so awesome! Good I posted earlier on the "how much t/g do you have on hands" thread. Now my savings don't look that nice anymore lmao.

Also, a whole batch of my UMAs just sold, which is really nice. I'm (financially) happy with this update in general tbh.

i really like that it isn't just a one time thing. you could actually switch the pose around as much as you want once applied, which can be fun if you're getting bored with a specific pose (maybe you want to try a new accent, or a new outfit looks better on one pose, or your guardian decided to shave their beard, etc.)

i really hope we get an option/scroll/whatever to flip which direction the dragon faces next - there is space next to the pose switch on the options page, so i am hopeful we might get more little things like this!

on a more salty note, i will never understand the arguments that it makes breeding less challenging or makes the game more boring, or whatever. we have control over how challenging or fun we want our breeding projects to be. if you don't want to use this... then don't. your project will just involve a little more work/luck/time to get the specific pose you want, and that's perfectly fine. it's no different than breeding for a specific gene or breed as opposed to just buying a scroll. not to mention, this only benefits people breeding for specific poses (which to be fair, is probably the majority). anyone breeding for dragon pairs is still going to have to breed for the specific sex they need. and they haven't backed off their stance on releasing the scattersights again or eye vials, so we're still stuck with challenging and 'fun' breeding projects for most eye types. and it isn't like it's a free toggle - it cost gems to apply in the first place, and 400 gems isn't a terribly high price, but it still takes a degree of work to get it. i think the effort needed whether breeding for a pose or getting the funds for the scroll are equal enough.

i mean it's cool but all the dragons i'd use this on have accents that don't exist for the other pose rip.

I don't really care for this (kinda burnt out on buying new dergs and all my permas are fine pose-wise) but I know it's a thing people have been asking about for a long time so I'm happy for them!

What I AM excited for however, is that dropping g/t ratio hell yeah
