More shiny gem genes & Ice got their correct starting location banners with this update

Happy for Bane Peacock but ehhhh at Stained 2.0 also being a gem gene.

Banner is cool!

Soap is…ehh. With a name like that I hoped it would have that slightly rainbow look when you blew bubbles.

Sadly this is just putting highlights on parts of the dragon most of the time, since you can barely see the slight stained effect.

SOAP W SOAP W SOAP W SOAP W

Soap is a rough gene to work with. Stained 2.0 with bizarre highlights

This is how I feel about it =\ Accent color feels totally out of place and ruins any fun scries I was playing with.

Good niche gene, but I'll be sticking with stained for 99% of scries that need this kind of tert.

Wish it were a baldwin gene instead. Tired of shiny = gem

Yeah, I have one dragon it looks good on, my progen, but he is XYX. It makes him look like a shiny ornament.

All others I can't really see the shiny or it has a strange color added that makes it looks ugly.

Like Rose. I have a purple/blackish range dragon with a rose tert. It adds an ugly greenish hue to the dragon *whines*

I tried it on a double white with rose. Yellow is not a good color with pink.(the greenish tone yours had is actually a wierd yellow highlight)

No, it's definitely a green. (Which looks worse with the pink than yellow would, but I guess the rationale is roses have green leaves.)

I tried it on my Shadow/Violet Spiral and I can definitely see it as yellowish-green, not too flattering I'll agree

(Anon with the purple/blackish ranged dragon here The dragon is Mulberry/Midnight/Rose)

I will have to go back and double check :D Since I am pretty sure that it is like stained, the color underneath will change the color we see...

Just tried it and it seems to be one of those colors that can be either Yellow OR green. It looks like a yellow that is heavily tinted with green to me now that I have actually looked at it for more than two seconds.

Ah, thanks, Mine has a purple/darkish prim/tert so that probably made it look greenish to me (plus, I noped out quickly of that image :P)

Mini-rant ahead

This is one reason I would love the gene variants to become a thing. There are a lot of good gene ideas out there, but, especially lately it seems, Staff seems to love pairing odd colors with the main color, which can ruin the entire look.

Like the rose with yellow highlights? Pink with yellow? Sure, some people might like it, but I would prefer a deeper red, or even a purple or blue. I tend to prefer colors that are more mono-chromatic, such as blues with purples or greens, and not necessarily deep blue with a neon green.

As it is, when I saw how my progen looked, I was excited, it looked like glass (my progen is blue/storm/blue with freckle/iri, for anyone who wants to see it). I loved it. Then I tried it on a few other dragons, and as said, either they had those weird highlight colors which completely ruined the gene because it never matched the rest of the colors (I rarely have doubles or triples outside of fodder breeders, so a lot of my dragons have vastly different colors), or I just couldn't see it (tried a triple white iri/shim and a double white with ice tert, and couldn't really see a difference on them).

So it was a disappointing blow to me. I might try my other dragons, and I am pretty sure I will get it for my progen (and may see if different genes make a huge difference in the impression it gives me), but ultimately? I feel this is going to be another gene that I go 'nice concept, but I wish the execution had been different'.

Yes, it was disappointing to blow you. But maybe next time will be better.

WOOO SOAP LETS GOOOO

Soap is literally Stained but better, the accent colors are funky and it doesn't make shiny primaries/secondaries ugly and dull! Big fan.

Soap feels like a 300g discount Iridescent, as basic+Soap looks very much like Iridescent

Saw one anon’s theory on smr that the iridescent fix was coming so that’s why soap looks exactly like it currently and tbh I can’t disagree.

Imo it's a fairly niche tert but I do like Soap. It gives excellent polished rock vibes with Boulder/Myrid and some of the ultra glossy effects on Wasp and Metallic/Alloy are fun.

Yeah, it's not going to work with every color/gene combo, but what tert does? I've been testing it on various dragons and I can definitely see some potential there.
