Dreams

[(Anonymous)]

The live update + the anon who posted about sneaking a peek in the game database randomly brought a dream a had a few nights ago back into my mind.

There was an FR live update and new items were being put in the database as usual, but they were all poorly-drawn, flat colored versions of what the final items were going to be (a la April Fools but slightly more polished). This was an attempt by staff to cover up what the items would look like before the actual reveal. There was a familiar that looked like a chubby plesiosaur (the descrip was a Nessie reference), and I can't remember anything else.

So ig let's make this a dream-sharing thread, whether they're FR-related or not.

Free stuff.

[(Anonymous)]

Realized it was summer and I probably oughta come back to FR to start liquidating my annual egg hoard, and I have a lot of one-or-two-piece junk items that's keeping my apparel hoard from being a nice, neat, single page. I'll probably be sending 3-5 items to the first 5-8 people to submit this form, depending on how many items it takes to clear it down to one page. I make no promises on value of items, though it's not (to my knowledge) literal baldwin-fodder apparel. [Disclaimer: I think some of this stuff is just "stuff that got added to my hoard for my account existing" so I have no idea the value on those couple items nor can I bothered to check since it's still free stuff either way.]

(That *should* just ask for UID and be submittable without logging in or needing an email but let me know if not. The idea was just so that people didn't have to publicly post their UIDs/de-anon.)

This lasts until my hoard is a single page, at which point I'll close the form so you can tell stuff is no longer being given away. (And HOPEFULLY remember to post here also, but no promises. Lack of spoons lately and all that.)

Non-scraping Skin Tool

Blog

[(Anonymous)]

Hi. I'm not the same Anon that was taking suggestions on here before, but I've yet to see any blogs show up since then. So I've created one:

https://dramaflight.tumblr.com/

This is an uncensored drama submission blog for FR. All posts will be published without commentary. Unless they contain x-phobic/racist statements, doxxing, or address the blog owner directly. (Such as "why is my submission not posted yet".) Those will obviously be deleted/reported if need be.

Re: Blog

[(Anonymous)]

I say this in the nicest way Anon - I kind of hope your blog flops. I've seen a good chunk of Petsite Drama and the ones that don't censor usernames are ALWAYS fucking horrid and go way beyond salt to just petty personal insults. Your average Tumblr user is NOT gonna be able to play nice and the blog format doesn't really allow for actual conversation like ARR does.

AGI change

[mindlessflight]

As the agility stat is and has been fundamentally flawed and un-fun, the agility of all enemies with high values in that stat has been reduced. We are putting a pin in this and will revisit agility someday™ in the future, at which time enemies will have agility reintroduced.

Because no one wants that discussion. No one.

[(Anonymous)]

AA did bring in new blood in December 2021, but barely anyone that join managed to get any of their ideas through and was mostly asked to help keep the already set events going instead of adding new things.
AA seemed interested in having new things and wanted to do a more active Dom but apparently couldn't get it going.

When it comes to the banksheet, they honestly thought that all flights had the sheet hidden. But after asking other flights they decided they would be more "transparent" but instead of just making the sheet open to the public right away they took quite a long time to make it _partially_ open to anyone.

When it comes to the discord toxicity: Yeah there's been a lot of issues with the first fire server.
There was a reason someone actually started a NEW and ONLY FIRE discord server.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel bad for Fire being in such a bad shape. I want to help their FF efforts because the flight still deserves to have a good holiday. Any idea how I could help?

More than one Dom Team?

[(Anonymous)]

With the recent drama with and around Fire Flights Dom team and efforts (or lack thereof), what's peoples thoughts on having more than one Dom Team in a Flight?

I've heard it's been done before but don't personally have any details on it.

Re: More than one Dom Team?

[(Anonymous)]

i feel fairly mixed. on one hand it could provide nice in-flight competition for fundraising and event participation, but would likely be confusing for new/casual players and inherently splits funds and efforts. for big events like festivals and pushes, both dom teams need to be 100% in sync for things like bank withdrawals and blitzes.

Oh man, I remember back when rare color combos were a thing. People would put things like "1 of 12 active dragons with these colors!" in their sales posts and treat it as a legitimate selling point. That got pretty well blown out of the water by the color wheel expansion, and I don't miss it. I guess this user does though.

Looks like FR unfairly banned a user because she didn't know her daughter was a multiaccounter. Thoughts?

Re: https://imgur.com/a/rxOEzFb

[(Anonymous)]

On one hand, I know someone who was banned for their sister's multiaccounting and I have interacted with both of them at once, so it really was two people. On other hand, "I have a family member and I am totally not breaking the rules" is an extremely common excuse.

On third hand, I have reported several obvious multi-rings and staff response time was in range of literal years, so I'd personally say that the worst thing is the time range between offense and response and most of these "unfair bans", this one included, would be (or feel) less unfair with faster responses.

Unfairly banned?

[(Anonymous)]

Do you know anyone who was unfairly banned? I'm just wondering how often the admins ban someone for unfair reasons vs they were actually breaking the rules.

Re: Unfairly banned?

[(Anonymous)]

This is the whole issue. This is a question that can't really be answered because people are quite willing to lie about why they were banned, especially if they WERE banned fairly.

Do people get unfairly banned? Sure. When you are running a site with literally thousands of active players and have to moderate that with only a handful of staff, then of course innocent players will get caught in the crossfire occasionally.

However, It is extremely difficult to tell, as a third party who doesn't know the people involved in real life, whether someone is telling the truth or not.

Like the thing about the mom who was unfairly banned because her daughter multi accounted.

Could it happen? Yeah, but even if mom was a separate account and not another one of the multis, surely mom had to know something was up when these various accounts sent her stuff, or her daughter, who was, I believe the image said pre-teen, managed to get all this stuff to send her.

However, even if mom was truly innocent and thought this was all legitimate, this is the reason why I, and many others I have seen, dislike multi-accounts. Beyond the obvious having multiple times the number of gathering turns and other 'dailies', multi-accounts can get innocent accounts in trouble if they can't prove they aren't part of the multi network.

WW status update

[(Anonymous)]

"The Battlelisk familiars from Warrior's Way have had their blades removed from their legs, as this positioning too closely referenced a blood sport that abuses roosters."

I can see the reasoning, but I really wish they had found a way to repurpose the blade rather than removing it entirely, since as it is the new battlelisks have literally no Warrior's Way theming over regular basilisks unless you count the tiny masks :/

Re: WW status update

[(Anonymous)]

I think the reasoning is rather silly. Let's have an entire event themed around battling (clearly referencing that last year's champion was killed), with knives and weapons. But a familiar that vaguely resembles real blood sport? No that's too much.

Better retire the battlemares as well, since it's referencing cavalry horses. Dragging horses into human wars isn't animal welfare either.

Ice lairs have a new banner

[(Anonymous)]

https://flightrising.com/images/layout/ice/top-banner.jpg

Any other flights get a new banner recently? I know said they would roll them out slowly

Re: Ice lairs have a new banner

[(Anonymous)]

Ice got one because the other one released was "depicting Snowsquall Tundra, while all other banners depicted the starting location of new lairs". That's why other flights didn't get one, they were technically fixing their own error.

That being said, I think it looks nice and makes me excited for other upcoming locations! Can't wait for Emperor's Wake and Starwood Strand :)
