Bonus weirdness?

(Anonymous) 2022-09-07 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
I lost my well-fed bonus last night (my own fault, I generally skate too close to the edge, but I didn't realize quite how close to the edge I was when I deposited a 41-energy dragon into the HD, lol). But no big deal, figured I'd miss a couple days, has happened before. Made sure my level was up to 82% before rollover anyway.

After rollover, 80% as normal...but my bonus bar is full again. Was there a grace period introduced recently that I'm not aware of? Was losing it in the first place some kind of error that was fixed? I don't see anyone else on-site talking about having something similar happen recently. Grateful, of course, but curious!

I'm cracking up over the fact that they've done it again: https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/skin/3165954/3#post_52141019

This one is definitely more similar to their FF entry than any of the others were. It doesn't even bother me that much because hey, they're all pretty, but I hadn't noticed the trend until this thread was made and now I can't unsee it lol

These skins would definitely be better suited as a UM series though imo

lol, i didn't know act/nearku's enabler was close with nensec??? in nearku/act's callout post i remember seeing kveikur basically enable the ever loving shit out of them and act like they did nothing wrong

source: kveikur/ange is staff in nensec's fr tool's discord. i don't know what extent i can prove this with because showing a bunch of people their discord tag seems kind of yikes

not to be cunty but if u arent gonna post any proof why make this post lol. anyways imo someone having a "staff" role in a functional tool discord doesnt necessarily mean theyre besties, that feels like a bit of a reach. but again if theres proof saying otherwise i wouldnt know because i havent seen it

Blame all the users that make battling too expensive.

The dom scene is active in good flights, it's just not battles to profit off of

As long as they suit the festival, I don't see why it needs to be a UMA series. Let staff make the choice.

People honestly are looking for an excuse to be jerks.

nayrt

yeah, at this point dom battles need months if not a year+ of prep and fundraising. dom-active flights that have frequent profit pushes/IF conquests/dom team challenges are where the fun is.

altho if youre only looking to offload your fodder onto a pushing flight for 25kT/L5 you probs need to just accept that it only happens 1-2 weeks per year.

I want the more frequent dom battles back even if it means they’re cheaper, fuck the whiny babies who’d cry about not getting 30kT/dragon.

:} not a big deal to most people probably, but someone contacted me asking to buy a dragon,I wasn't attached to it so I sold him for 5kg. it's apparently their fave color combo and it makes me real happy that I can get someone a dreamie of theirs

It's one thing if they keep doing similar things but it's like staff is picking an easy win and it's kinda shitty to see the same person winning every festival with a similar skin. It's an easy guaranteed win that pretty much locks them in and it's not really fair.

im the op here, LMAO it's all good i just didn't realise the fr drama mill sort of revolved around each other :sob:

i didn't know if i was allowed to post their discord info because that still feels invasive. yk, regardless of them being a shitty person they still deserve privacy

whats stopping you from making accents for similarly unpopular breeds and getting the same "guaranteed" win?

(Anonymous) 2022-09-08 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
ayrt

The dom scene is dead compared to what it used to be even in the current most active flights. Back in the day it wasn't hard to get 2-3 OOFRs to attend a year per flight, more if I scheduled my change dates and locations correctly. Now it's like, one and a half per year (including festivals), and even if you swap flights to try and be part of battles it's four at best.

It's too infrequent and killed my interest in the site. I understand the reasons behind it, but understanding why a thing is the way it is does not make its absence any less missed.

dom bank

(Anonymous) 2022-09-08 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
How often do people donate to the bank? In my flight it feels like there’s only ever a few regulars donating even though we push, so the amount feels like it’s slowly but surely decreasing with time.

guaranteed win? you do realize there ARE other fpose ridgeback entries this fest? and that plenty of breeds/poses end up with winners at all.

while all this lowkey makes me wish once again that her nocturne entry had won instead for TCC (it was my personal fave), I'm never going to begrudge a talented artist passing up tons of profit by choosing to submit a fest entry rather than doing their own print. and if we do get an fpose ridge winner again, so far hers is unambiguously the best executed AND most unique relative to other entries and past years.

more like "fuck people who demand a full suite of top-tier raffle prizes even when there isn't a head-to-head battle going."

i know ARR isn't a monolith, but for all of fire flight's dom team problems, seeing all the complaints about their non-battling raffle ~merely~ having a sprite and full set of haloes is still causing me so much pain whenever i contemplate what my own flight is going to have to go through.

I haven't been in it since Mercedes was a tyrannical no-fun mod who'd randomly, quietly mute people then pretend that nothing had happened; so I can't say.

💯 the content of the fire raffle was perfectly respectable

saltmin isn't a Bad Person TM for not knowing anything about european history but i just... don't understand how they've made it through life missing this basic info. maybe it's lack of relatives getting enslaved and thieved from and bombed by the crown

anyway, made me laugh
