BINGO

[mindlessflight]

Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

Re: Bingo - Funkengine

I am dying at the FunkEngine returns with another copyrighted accent one.

So far, so good, but the dingus has 6 days submit another plague copyright violation.

Also, am I the only one that thinks if Funkengine had been smart and just submitted that as a custom, without trying to sneak it in as a contest accent, it would have been easily accepted? They could have had their copyrighted accent, if they had. The winning a site contest was the kicker.

To lightning

[(Anonymous)]

Well done on the impromptu battle. I look forward to seeing what you guys do in the future. That was a hell of a challenge.

Re: To lightning

[(Anonymous)]

From what I heard, Lightning Dom leads actually had to fund part of the battle out of their own pocket because the Vault didn't have enough money. Either that or they were trying to preserve the Vault for ... something next year? No idea. It seems antithesinal (... is this even a word? like the antithesis) to what the Vault is for, i.e., funding conquests, so I hope that they simply ran out of money.

Not gonna lie

[(Anonymous)]

I seriously feel bad for the regular sparks that have to deal with their Dom team's mess

But considering the dumpster fire revealed in the previous post aka this (https://anonrerising.dreamwidth.org/3549.html#comments)... imho Lightning deserved to lose this week. Especially to Water of all flights

Re: Not gonna lie

[(Anonymous)]

??? What mess? The dom team actually did what the flight wanted and we got to have a fun battle, stop feeling bad for us poor little Sparks for shit that isn’t even happening.

I was happy for the first round of dom drama because I wanted the dom scene to be more active and our leads to get kicked into gear but honestly I’m starting to think that people like you are just feuding with someone on the dom team and trying to stir shit up. It’s annoying at this point.

"Skin ID #30686
Hi there, everyone! I was browsing the Game Database when I happened upon this absolutely gorgeous skin titled "Queen Glory", created by Vipera. When I looked at it, I was amazed at just how well the colors and design fit together, though something looked a bit too familiar about it. I could have sworn that this was based on the character Queen Glory the Rainwing from the popular book series "Wings of Fire", written by Tui T. Sutherland, and sure enough, it was >see picture below for a picture of Glory<.

Now I know this is a DRAGON site, so it's fitting that a DRAGON skin from a DRAGON book series would be on here, though I am pretty sure that it's not allowed for a skin/accent to be based on a copyrighted character/object? Thank you all very much and I hope you have a lovely day! Feel free to share your thoughts as well as other copyrighted designs you've seen on here!"

Justifiably nuked. Especially as it had discussion of the two festival skins removed for violations and a player call-out. And was inviting more folks to do the same to others.

It is an older skin that only has like 5 copies in existence that is inspired by the art in question. I think the site has bigger fish to fry.

In comparison to the removed festival accents brought up in thread, the plague of madness skin had a very particular eye marking from the episode, and static cling had a character from the game on the wing, as well as being chosen as site skins.

At best, tattletaling on something harmless. At worst, spite reporting to hurt others.

didn't they say they weren't going to participate it Riot of Rot, or am I thinking of someone else. Now they're saying they're excited for it

New com rule?

[(Anonymous)]

Only archived links? Its an anonymous com and we discuss drama here. Only archived links should be allowed to 1) let everyone else see the deets and 2) discourage people from commenting on the threads if its active

Re: New com rule?

[mindlessflight]

It's been suggested.

https://anonrerising.dreamwidth.org/3013.html?thread=1939653#cmt1939653

This was part of the reason- I'm for it, honestly, buuuut people like asking for archive links but won't do it themselves, and get snippy when called out on it :)

The problem with dominance

[(Anonymous)]

I think what's wrong with dominance today is that each Flight has a buying power that's linerally scaled. That seems fine but it doesn't account for how mercs are a thing. That's why Earth and the smaller flights always win. Instead of using a linear function, it should be a negativve quadratic one to give larger flights a chance. At least it would shake thigns up. But the admins are too incompetent to realize that.

Re: The problem with dominance

[(Anonymous)]

10000% this

staff please hire math whizzes to redo the dom algorithm. the linearity isn't working anymore.

RoR faves!!

let's have a fun thread! Anyone got any skins they're hoping to win? I just had a browse thru the submissions thread and i rly like viral load i think it's a fun idea

wtf food prices?

[(Anonymous)]

Is it just math, or ... no one farming? Why is food so effing pricey? Also, why is 4-point food always the cheapest per unit?

Re: wtf food prices?

[(Anonymous)]

Can't comment on the lack of grinding etc, but 4-point food is the cheapest because you can only sort by unit price rather than price per fp, and most people level in the mire. People set 4 fp per item, check the price, and undercut a bit... forever.

Mire revamp ahoy!

[(Anonymous)]

Will probably mean some build tweaking, but personally IDGAF, bring it on. Just in time for RoR! (Although it probably won't be quite as Plague-heavy/optimal for that, but still.)

got randomly blocked by someone i don't know?

[(Anonymous)]

they posted a cute dragon in a forum thread and i went to give them a like, but they have me blocked

i've never interacted with them, i hardly post in the forums, like i'm not mad or anything just confused

has this happened to anyone else?

Re: got randomly blocked by someone i don't know?

[(Anonymous)]

Reasons I block folks without interaction:

*Annoying signatures/fonts/colors
*Accent resellers
*General asshattery in the forums
*Friends with known bigots (I block folks who are friends with people like Dracoon, etc)

Mire Flyer?

[(Anonymous)]

With the new mobs, I wanna level fodder in the Mire to collect the new familiars, but I haven't actually had a Mire Flyer since the Ghostlight Medi Monk came out.

Anyone know of the most efficient build? I was looking at the Mire Monk, since it's similar to the GLR Medi Monk as far as playstyle, but I'm happy to try a scratch build.

Re: Mire Flyer?

[(Anonymous)]

STR 123
AGI 8
QCK 62
VIT 18

seems to work for scratch and meditate. you just need 123 STR to rally+elim or scratch+elim all the new enemies.

Level Cap

[(Anonymous)]

So has the staff ever said if they're planning to raise the coli level cap? I'm watching the discussion about the coli meta and I'm really not looking forward to what's going to happen when they raise the level cap and the mire is actually not viable anymore.

Re: Level Cap

Yeah, it was mentioned back in December 09, 2014 in the Golem Workshop announcement. But that was quite some time ago...

Important Coli Update: New Mire enemies health changed! (good news?)

[(Anonymous)]

Copied from this post from Sylvandyr:

https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/967048/64

Hi everyone, sorry for the extra ping. The Armored Colony, Fungal Garden, Marsh Kelpie, and Vilevenom Kelpie have had their stats adjusted. The STR requirement for the Armored Colony/Fungal Garden has dropped from 123 to 120, and the Kelpies had their incorrect QCK fixed.

If you checked the tool recently, you may need to clear your cache to see the changes reflected.

Thanks!

(End copied post.)

There is this guide for a nice 120 STR Mire Flyer if anyone wants/needs to restat their trainer.

love being pinged from a hatchery only to see that all of the dragons for sale are starving

[(Anonymous)]

Why does this matter? Can't afford to feed a single dragon? lol

[(Anonymous)]

I don't usually go in for Roundsey dragons, but it does tickle me that this week's dragon is Chocolate/Pumpkin/Caramel. It's a pumpkin spice dragon!

[(Anonymous)]

it's such a pretty dragon, insane. even outside of the pumpkin spice aesthetic, more like bazar and desert stuff.

*pokes a small hole in the hype balloon*

The next ancient breed, the one whose silhouette we shared earlier this year, is still being worked on.

And a general information heads up or reminder (whichever applies): Festivals and our anniversary are the only events we allow for weekend starts. Launches for releases like breeds or features is an all-hands situation. We're not going to call the team in on a Sunday for that. Or a Friday, for that matter. /shudder "

Post from Aequorin. Ngl for some reason a tiny weird stone I didnt know I had dropped from my heart reading they don't have to work weekends. petsites make it so easy to overwork yourself.

I remember the staff stating at some point that they don't believe in the whole "crunch culture" bs so it makes sense that weekends are typically out of bounds for their team which is pretty cool

(I dont remember where I read that though)

Who are your favorites, anon? I've really been into the wild animal changing skins popping up myself. Examples like the centipede skin from this RoR, the wolfhead accent from Goblincat (all of Goblincat's work in general tbh), and the rabbit magician spiral from Brightmyth.

Re: coli loot limit?

[(Anonymous)]

I posted this over there, but they may be talking about the coli captcha, which if you fail too many times you get locked out, so it could act like a loot limit.

Or they got it confused with the fairgrounds (not sure how).

or, as you said, they are trying to troll.
