any predictions for the anniversary update? I doubt it's a new ancient breed as veils came out not too long ago. I'm thinking a new trading post activity like baldwin
i think most people believe it's going to be a modern breed, but i'll toss my hat into the round and say hatchling skins and accents.
Part of me wants to think new modern breed bc there hasn't been an apparel update in a while, save for recolours, or modern breed genes, and part of the delay for a new modern breed was the backlog of apparel and genes.
BUT that's putting too much faith in the staff, so I'm willing to bet it's some kind of user profile update (since we got dragon profiles), new eye type with a clanbound Galore gift and an anniversary familiar.

NAYRT anniversary is next week so you'll get a bigger update then :p
I for one love more scenes, especially the arena one

+1 for the profile update, perhaps with achievement system revamp? Considering that was closed three, I think, years ago for 'updates'.
oooh, the Blooming Grove looks super cute! The Arena feels much less like an Arena compared to before but I do appreciate the details :)
super funny when you think about us not getting a single update all may but the eyepocalypse
let's not let this start us getting hyped for anniversary, though.

hey you leave my png babies alone i live for scenes
Why do some people take being disagreed with on the suggestion forum as a personal attack?
Your idea was to allowing people to freely buy other people's exalted dragons, dude. It's a terrible idea. But no one was being that aggressive in the no supports.

i have some really bad news for you about what dragons on FR are
I hate how some people need the mildest crit even sandwiched in soft words and reassurances.
In this case tho it's like what did you think was going to be people's opinion? You're asking to buy other people's dragons. It's a very selfish suggestion and they weren't be aggressive so much as blunt and there's a difference between the two.

Achievements are going to be the last since they're tied to everything else I believe.
some people are just like that, but like, in general, and it naturally extends to dragon petsim
Anniversary updates are usually a change to how the site works instead of an additional item within an existing mechanic, aren't they? Gaolers were an anniversary update but that was only for the release of ancient breeds, so I don't think it'll be the modern breed.
Given that they don't seem to be avoiding controversial update discussions at the moment, I'm going to guess a coli and dom overhaul and rebalancing.

(Anonymous) 2021-06-02 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)stained variants would be so good
they never actually cancelled the agility stat update, just postponed it...
I think they'd warn about another coli one but it could be a dom update. (prays for a dom update)
a dom update right before earth v waters planned battle on the 13th-19th this month would actually be chaos and i want nothing more now
I could still see them doing the modern breed for the anniversary - it's not really a new mechanic, but a new modern breed is a pretty big deal compared to new apparel or familiars or even ancient breeds now.
But I could also see a user profile revamp or maybe them releasing coli PVP. They haven't talked about that in a while. Dom or coli is possible, but I think without some sort of prior 'this is happening' warning it might be TOO controversial, especially not so far from the eye revamp. That's gonna be one of the riskiest things to revamp.
I personally want a nesting grounds revamp, but I don't think that was very high on their pending items list so that's just wishful thinking on my part.
The only thing we know for sure is that, whatever it is, there will be a very vocal group or two who hates it SO MUCH and we are GOING TO HEAR ABOUT IT.

(Anonymous) 2021-06-02 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)Firefly is also wonderful.
I can't wait for Woodland Path. My main complaint with most of the scenes so far is that they're too...story-ish, if that makes sense. Especially the fest ones. The Nature one is lovely and I've got a couple of dragons who look great against it, but something simple/generic (like the exalt pillar - I remember being about the only one happy about that because there were no flowers or anything else colorful/fancy, just...a clearing in the woods) would have been much more versatile. So long as they don't snazz WP up too much, it'll scratch that itch.
+1 to PVP. I would love to see item-attachment menus getting fixed, but yeah, that seems more revamp-y than Shiny Anniversary Surprise!-y.
Irony is there are some situations where it wouldn't be *that* bad an idea. At least 90% of what I exalt is just trash fodder I have zero emotional connection to, and another big chunk is breeding-project fails that aren't much more important. The number of dragons I exalt purposefully so that no one else can ever make any changes to or have any control over them is very slim, either lore exalts or parents/kids of my permas.
So if users were automatically opted out of the 'buy exalts' program entirely unless they wanted to participate, and if you still had the option to 'lock' any given exalted dragon to your account and make it unbuyable, I wouldn't object.
(Some of the issues raised in the thread were 'would be unfair for dom' (would only be an issue in heated battles where you can't just buy as many adults off the AH for ~7kt as you want anyway, and even so, the price for buying an exalt could be 50kt or something) and 'exalting is the only way to get excess dragons out of the system' (true, but a resurrected exalt would still be taking up space in the user's lair, and how someone else uses their space doesn't affect my gameplay).)
What would get weird is ID tracking for raffles and whatnot, if it were possible for two users to have legitimately exalted and earned credit for the same dragon, that could open the door to a lot of shadiness.
But yeah, it would never happen, because too much of the motivation would be coming from a place of 'all exalting is evil' and it would just feed into that mindset.
