Finally got chewed out by Mystik for spamming, I wish I saw it but it's what I've seen on various drama blogs. Checked their page and yup they've deleted most of their suggestions. Mystik is annoying but they defeated the evil of MistFury0 at least
Spent 15 min writing and rewriting a sentence because I couldn't make up my mind whether it's a 'themself' or a 'themselves' if 'they' refers to one person... Googling says 'themselves' but that's not logical so may I ask that we stop breaking English even more, plz & thx
We will be performing brief scheduled maintenance from approximately 06:00 - 06:15 Server Time on Thursday, April 1. During this period Flight Rising will be unavailable.
sounds like it could be something bigger again than just "random item in inventory"
how dare you have a problem with this FUN PRANK that nobody on the development team had any problem with!
jfc, they've had five years to figure out that ppl with low vision and visual disturbances have a hard time with their clever little gimmicks and artsiness.
Is there a list anywhere of apparel items that can ONLY be found in Gilded Chests? I know it's the case for Hyacinth and the Patched Beggar set, but I'm sure there are others.
Umbral scale armor, Marva's sweaters are chest-exclusive too (I thought that so is Shifting Kelpie mane, but apparently not, can be given by Pinkerton and from iron chests).
I’m starting to wonder if anyone who hangs out in Suggestions actually plays the game or if they just pop in occasionally to try to make up problems and complain about how the website isn’t living up to their very exacting standards for exactly what they want.
You mean like Mystiek, who keeps saying they're quitting, or Gemajgall, who pretends they're the authority on what folks want, despite having very narrow minded, outdated views?
(I still remember how they kept spamming the results of a poll that had a super low polling pool, was over a year old, and wasn't even relevant in some cases, until multiple people were all "This isn't relevant anymore, you're beating a dead horse.")
do exalters not search for daily bonuses on the AH? half my daily bonus fodder doesn't sell even on busy days, and I only price +600-1000 above fodder floor (for +1250 exalt payout)
Cool but at the same time I understand everyone who said that this 'prank' was low-effect: what does the LuminaxCon have to do with randomly flipped dragons?... Heck, if there was a new temporary map place specifically for LuminaxCon with all dashcon and other failed con memes, that would have been awesome.
https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/2993548/11#post_47073940 Absolutely stunning salt from Aequorin's "open the bag" thread
"I’m here to complain about the lanyards which I assume everyone is doing bc seriously that is ABSOLUTELY uncool. there is nothing fun about getting to open your bag and realizing oops, you picked the wrong one! Your item is 1. not unique 2. barely noticeable 3. distinctly less impactful than the other two! It honestly feels like you’re mocking me, or that April Fools was intended to be a gachapon this year instead of a random item fun time.
I don’t know what I want, staff. I don’t know whether I want the lanyards updated, removed...I really don’t know. But at the current time it really feels like you made something that you knew was going to be worthless compared to the others, and you just...put it out anyway. Because you wanted to tell people that if they have bad luck they should just deal? Because some people arbitrarily should get rewards, and not others? Great. Fantastic. If I wanted that I would’ve played something like Genshin Impact.
I’m extremely put off by this. Thanks for making this game fun for everyone"

I'm getting flashbacks to the ancient old himalaya salt we had when underbelly was released, when people were pissed the gene didn't cover enough of the dragons body ("but tertiary says ALL over the body not just the belly!!") or when the first arcane fest item was released (the scroll around the neck) and people were pissed it wasn't as big as the other items before it, because the scroll is just one piece, but the fire one was hammer + glasses + gloves and the light one was four pieces of jewerly
When I'm taking up a new 25, I park them in one of my Mire trainer's fodder slots, while still rotating fodder through the other slot as normal. Easier to keep hitting my usual level goal and restarting, making treasure and clearing my fodder backlog, and just let the future coli dragon pack on levels at the same time. That way you don't have to keep staring at them like you're waiting for water to boil.
Once they hit Lv 18-20ish, you can start doing things with them if you want, like try to use them as a double-fodder trainer in Boreal Woods or as the fighter half of a mage/fighter team in Golem Workshop or Forbidden Portal. It makes these venues more challenging than usual, but you're leveling trainer and trainees at the same time. Can be fun. Just make sure, if you do this and stat as you go, you don't exceed the target stats for your eventual intended build, unless you were planning to tincture them anyway.
Unpopular opinion: UMAs should be subject to the same community perception as dragons -- once it's not in your lair hoard anymore, you lose control of it. If I never put it on a dragon? not your problem. If I eventually throw it on the AH for more than I bought it for? not your problem. If I make a meme dragon named DARGuN and put your accent on it and it's a whole stupid thing that becomes a meme in FRD because of course it does FRD gobbles that stupid shit up? not your problem.
But instead, accent reselling is this Big Villainous Thing. (And I'm not even talking just people who hoard slots on limited-print accents, that I get being annoying -- I'm talking about more general reselling than just that niche specific where it actually is a problem, but is one created almost entirely by the artist in question.)
It's been a while since the incident I'm about to rant about because on the off-chance the artist visits this community, I didn't want to make drama around them specifically, but like. I've been listing old accents I'm never going to use again on the AH for generic high prices because there are hundreds of them and I really can not be bothered to hunt down the shops for 200+ different artists, many of whom won't have easy-to-find threads or easy-to-find reselling rules. And many more of whom aren't even on the site anymore since it's a collection dating back as long as 5+ years ago. So yeah, I just list them all for generic high prices, then slowly over the months I have them listed, drop the prices by small increments until they hit the sweet spot where a buyer is like, "Yeah, I'll take that for that price."
And over the last roughly-a-year I've been doing that, I've gotten more than one artist PMing me and being offended that I'm reselling for higher than purchase price. (Usually polite, which is why I'm not gonna drag anyone into drama since I don't remember everyone nor remember who was and wasn't polite.) And my response to them is always the same -- if they can prove via wayback machine that the reselling rule (if they even have one, some don't even at time of messaging me..) was in place at the time of purchase (or earlier, usually I assume earlier), then I'll be happy to resell directly to the artist for purchase price.
But otherwise... Artists, you know how to cut down on reselling? Reprint it and list it yourself for the normal price. If you have such a problem with me reselling it, just list copies below my asking price and no one's gonna buy mine, but you'll get extra money and sales. It's really not a big deal. Hell, it's win-win -- you get more money, I get to not have to deal with dealing with people (which is why I'm mass AH listing rather than putting the effort into an ibaz thread).
And if you're running limited printings so you can't just reprint it -- congratulations, that's exactly why your accents are probably resold fairly frequently. Consider making them not limited. Yeah, you'll lose a few sales from resale-only-buyers and from people who would've otherwise fallen prey to F.O.M.O., but overall, your money will increase from just having extra copies out there in the market that there's apparently demand for. (And you'll get to circumvent the problem of people """stealing""" spots for resale, which I honestly personally dislike, but do think people give too much of a stink-eye to on the whole.)
tl;dr because I know some nonny is just gonna whine otherwise: Accent-selling should be just like fodder selling -- once it's not yours, you don't get to dictate what happens to it. Also, as an artist, you have complete control to "solve" reselling by just reprinting and listing your own accents.
You're mad because you have a lot of UMAs on the AH that aren't selling because people block you for being a chronic reseller like Snowpea, aren't you?
I was explaining the lanyard outrage to my friend and was trying to recount the stupidest events fr players have had a meltdown over. My current list: -exalting, in general -map got changed -before that, map did not get changed fast enough -g1 dragon sold to wrong person -new gene/item sucks and is direct attack on playerbase
some people disliked it because they thought it looked suggestive and it spiralled into "ur a freak for thinking a dog is sexy" and "shut up its just a completely natural corgi sploot" for weeks upon weeks
Luminax? I saw him (?) first start getting mentioned when the new map was revealed but I have neither the time nor the patience to figure out wtf is going on.
Luminax is the emperor in the light Emperor's wake area of the map. It got new attention then because it's neat tromping around the map. It was first mentioned in the light bounty of the elements story.
me: I guess I'm kinda rich, I don't have any expensive items but was able to gene and breed a few veilspuns on the day they got released discord/tumblr: LMAO YOU'RE NOT RICH, fucking peasanT me: I guess I'm not that rich, I don't have any expensive items but was able to gene and breed a few veilspuns on the day they got released discord/tumblr: LMAO YOU'RE NOT POOR YOU BOURGEOIS ASSHOLE gtfo with your humblebragging
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(for context, someone directly asked me about my G1 veilspuns and how I was able to afford them)
