Staff really shafts Wind and Light. They don't get SHIT. Light will be lucky in the next twenty years to get another modern lawls.
Okay I probably get called a party pooper, but I was hoping we get for the anni something akin to new permanent feature for the site, aka a dragon inventory that was teased ages ago, or more headers for our lair to choose from, or lair dividers etc.
I am sure I am not the only one that is a bit "exhausted" by getting constantly new dragon breeds.

You’re definitely not the only one… I was actively hoping for anything BUT a new modern for Anniversary. The design for this one is nice, but I’m exhausted with that type of content
(I’m also a little disappointed we’ve only gotten 7 new achievements for the entire year, but I guess I’m not shocked. I love FR, but one of my biggest frustrations with it is that staff has a habit of releasing a major feature, then ignoring it for months/years without adding content.)

What achievements do you think are missing?
I'm not surprised it is a new modern, new features are more coding intensive and they're still trying to rework the old site shit to make things work for the big project, adventure mode.

I mean, Light had both their modern breeds from site launch so makes sense they'd be low on modern priority. Yes yes, imps being KS locked aside it is still double moderns. Same with Wind, though SDs came later
Though I had hoped for Nature or Fire modern, both being gem locked breeds.

glad it's not just me! i don't want to be a party pooper by saying it on the forums, but i was also hoping for literally anything but a new breed lol. one of the discord servers i'm in was talking about a fishing minigame earlier this week and i think i would have preferred that tbh
this feels like a pretty dumb question anon. because scatters cost money?
For the first time, they change the header to match the event. You may be right with a header update.
This is a silly take. Both of those flights have had two moderns since nearly the beginning, and they'll almost certainly both have their ancient by this time next year. Obviously Light won't get another modern any time soon (if they get another one at all. I personally suspect that, at most, we'll see two moderns per flight - which will take a long, long time).
I've never quite understood this, since you can't sell a progen, making them effectively worthless no matter how awesome their colors are. Having a pretty progen is nice, but I can't see going to the trouble of starting seven zillion accounts just to get an XXX.
It's cheaper. Starting a new account is free, scatters cost gems. But it's still way more effort than I'd go to.
They both have 2 moderns with ancients on the way. There was no way the modern would ever be theirs
Complained in the anniversary thread about singular "they" pronouns. Their account seems to have been suspended, but posting their name anyway in case it's a temporary timeout and people want to block them.
Unfortunately I didn't think to archive, and now all related comments have been cleaned out of the thread. Someone did archive some of it here:

If I remember right, the mouse's last response in the dev tracker was something like, "My initial reply was me giving you a way to back out of this gracefully," before she wiped everything.

I would love to see more collection achievements, including for groups of items that don’t already have them. The items themselves don’t have to be inherently valuable (in fact, I would argue that low-value items should be the targets), but things like getting at least 1 of each item from each venue in the coli would take time
It would also be nice to see more battle achievements that would take longer to complete. I feel like the only achievements that are REALLY long-term are the breeding ones, which is a bit of a shame because it takes almost no effort (even over the course of literal years)
In general, a lot of the self-made user challenges could be turned into achievements. I’m partial to coli-related ones because I really enjoy that area of the site, but bigger achievements could be added in most categories (brewing, Arlo, Fiona, etc.) to give folks who are close to maxing out (or who have already maxed out) certain tabs new goals

This right here, and with guaranteed ancients on the way there's no reason to say Wind and Light have been shafted.
Nature and Fire deserve new moderns way more, followed by Shadow who's ancient is gem locked and modern is technically limited but at least the scrolls are cheap on the AH.

I'm so tired of new breeds.
I'd prefer if they put some effort into expanding the existing site features. Add all the genes we have onto all the breeds they'd fit on (please, ragged/tear has been isolated for so long), make more apparel recolors, balance the fairgrounds payouts, make the past site lore actually relevant in some way, whatever.

everyone's dunking on you but I kinda agree. I know Light and Wind are gonna take a while for new moderns, but I'm still miffed that Earth got their ancient just before Light's fest, even tho they got obs semi recently.
I do hope we get more moderns and it's not limited to 2 per flight :/ I'm not a pearlcatcher fan and it's effectively impossible to get a g1 imp.

Wind’s moderns are also some of the most popular (Skydancers) and while Light’s dragons have mixed reviews their apparel and aesthetic are incredibly popular.
Old salt, but they’re at it again, and have graduated to saying they are going to be doing game-rule-breaking things in comments.

I feel bad for them (please don’t go bug ‘em, they seem stressed) but my dude, why play this site if you can never figure out how to do anything and seem stressed out by it?

But it's so much more fun to draw things than fix legacy programming. Also cheaper.
I'd just be happy if they brought in any new dragon without an ill-considered tangency or overlap in its pose, or a new primary/secondary gene that doesn't flatten forms and make it impossible to interpret the anatomy.

My question is, if a site is so dysfunctional for you and causes you stress, why even bother with it, and why do they insist that nothing works for them when they can't even provide proof that nothing works for them? They have been asked over and over to show screenshots what is wrong etc. but they claim they cant for whatever obscure reason.
If they say that the site is so broken for them like the claim it is, their laptop must be the most virus infested thing to ever exist, and their screen is probably full of random toolbars.

This. Pearlcatchers leave me cold. I love imps, but there's no way I can ever afford a G1 imp.
Some are definitely multis but others are players who probably got their original account locked and restarted. Or the odd one out where someone just likes a color so much they wanted it twice.
I do think it's highly highly likely to be multi-accounters though

AnpuRa goes out of their way to make problems for themself and refuse to do anything simple or completely laid out for them step by step by admins. 'they seem stressed' doesn't even need to be a reason; it's just better for everyone to not engage, as there's nothing to gain from trying to aside from your own frustration or a sense of joy from agitating them more.
every complaint they have can't be duplicated because the issue is between the computer and the chair, not with the site; they should find another game to play that's on their level of understanding instead of violently fighting every ounce of help they get.
