Holy Shit Dragons

Raikdow of Flight Rising marvels at dragons and more!

[raikdow]

Gaoler skin for all your texturing needs

Gonna adjust parts on the contrast and probs make that nose a cute lil pink bit/color teeth and maaaybe add runes to the horns.

Verymuch not sure I like the scale pattern on the wings, so those aren’t done rendering yet, but I have to go to work now :T

[raikdow]

ah chest prices dropped 10g in like an hour I’m crey

pls go back up

[raikdow]

I have a skin bluepring (5) in the AH for 3300 gems, and will go down to 3100 if you send a CR. That’s 400g lower than from the shop.

I really need those pirate bundles before the cycle, which is the cause for the rush. ;w; help a droplet out?

[saturnianwildcat-fr]

[raikdow]

I impulse bought a pristine rose thorn bundle and I don’t need it :’D

Anyone want to trade for one of the new set bundles? I need the golden, dusty and lucky set still

[raikdow]

thoughts so far, cut for salt

jesus fucking christ I have so many fucking worthless bundles that I have to buy now in order to round out my collection this is going to be a massive fucking waste of my time I’m so salty. It’s also going to fuck over snipers so that’s already going to cut down drastically on how much time and clicking I can even spend on this site before there’s nothing left to do

The new apparel looks fucking awesome tho A+

I was hoping the new apparel was based on some new mechanic, perhaps something related to world exploration (it looks sorta wind flighty to me?) but I’m just sorta... hopefully waiting for an actual significant change to mechanics so this isn’t just one giant asset dump

I hate being negative like this, like I want the anniversery to be fantastic and I’m STILL HOLDING OUT HOPE but I have a kernel of dread that they think bulk upload of sets of items I ALREADY HAVE ALL OF is special. I don’t want to have to buy ALL OF THE APPAREL IN GAME  A G A I N

[raikdow]

wanna make a nice pride flag accent to sell for no profit (like 250g per to cover blueprints only)

which breed/sex should I draw it for?

[raikdow]

NYohoHEHEHE NYAHAHA reeehehehe~

*rubs my little goblin hands together* 544 familiars and all that petting is starting to pay off

[raikdow]

Anniversery Speculation

Aight so these are my thoughts:

If they know what’s good for them, the admin team PROBABLY will not only release things that older/advanced members will care about. That means level caps on gathering, baldwin and maaaybe the coli (I find the last unlikely more because they would save that for the coli revamp). We know it is not adventure mode or the coli revamp from them telling us. Releasing bug fixes as a major surprise is not advisable, because “bug” means it should have not happened to begin with. “Hey we finally ironed out the thing that we should have fixed in beta” is not something terribly good to lead with.

That said, they HAVE expressed some hyping, specifically in relation to the color wheel. They expressed that it would be more significant/impressive than the wheel expansion.

What I’m hoping for:

Lair organization and reformatting, such as tabs, better bio formatting and the ability to mask/hide offspring list

a site event tied with lore, such as a rampaging emperor or the return of the shade (possibly a communal boss that drops event currency per hit, which you can exchange for items? Or rewards based on damage output)

gathering revamp, potentially involving specialization of dragons, leveling and time managment mechanics, similar to baldwin but on a mass and more long-term scale

reworking of the marketplace to introduce shop NPCs, or a more interactive, lore-conscious interface

Interactive world exploration on ANY level.

the introduction of apparel-style accents/skins that can go over theline art and use it’s own shading

A better bet:

New breed or genes

new familiars and vistas

new venue

new apparel

new game

fixing old features like achievements

The ‘hoe don’t do it’:

coli revamp or adventure mode (I actually really want both of these things, but I think it’s not really cool to lie to the userbase. Still, my hype would probably overshadow my pissiness)

exclusivly: bug fixed, cap raises, gem items, gem sales, merchendise (I want this but don’t exploit your anniversery holiday for things people have to buy wtf)

Tundra question

Rough day, so satisfy my curiosity with a question a tundra dragon would know. 

What scent/smell do you associate with these emotions?

-Fear

- Anger

-Joy

-Love

-Despair

-Longing/Seeking

-Surprise

-Disgust

[raikdow]

fear- alcohol

anger- home depot

joy- stuffing my face in my dog’s side

love- Autumn’s shampoo

despair- cut grass

longing/seeking- curry

surprise- blood

disgust- mustard

This thread has a lot of good discussion about the Joxar boxes. You should drop in and have a read.

Sadly, I don’t think it’ll lead to any changes, the admins don’t often listen to critique on their mechanics and RNG.

[cassowarhea-deactivated20190517]

tbh the admins are SO horrible in this regard, that I’m willing to bet a fucking Sunchaser that they will not make any significant changes to the boxes (significant as in “changing them so they aren’t economy-wreckers”).

Sunchaser Jewelry! You want it for free?

Reblog this post with your FR username and ID number. If the boxes are changed sufficiently, I’ll give away the Jewelry to some lucky fellow. If they aren’t, well, we’re all shit out of luck then, aren’t we?

This of course ends when Joxar’s things get released during the next festival.

#I don’t 100% understand this but

tl;dr gambling on whether the admins will wreck the economy

if they don’t = free sunchaser!

if they do = everyone’s fucked (and no free sunchaser)

[raikdow]

I haven’t read how disasterous this is yet but raikdow #3833

New tablet successfully broken in!!  

[raikdow]

I was thinking about people complaining about the lack of green in this fest’s skins and I was like “pls we have three years previous of solid green there are other colors” but then I thought of a water festival without blue and then what’s the fucking point?

I still like the skins/accents this fest tho

What (if anything) should be the design on the jade pendants and drapes? I can’t decide.

[raikdow]

FUCKING LACE

STOCK, DAMN IT

[shalaxi]

I wanna run a Neopets: The Darkest Fairy inspired DnD game like. So bad.

[yarking]

I’ll play if you let me roll the white lupe from NQ1

[shalaxi]

That’s fair, haha. Are you actually interested in playing? I’m not sure how not in-person DnD works, exactly.

[yarking]

I’ve been playing with my group on skype, but there are a few different ways to do it. And yeah, I’d be down! I… never actually got the oppertunity to play TDF and my plot-awareness mostly extends between 2000-2007ish though, so I might need to brush up on whatever NPCs and lore you want to include. Also the white lupe was mostly a joke (even tho I do love me some neoquest), I’d be down for playing whatev (maybe my ogrin OC? Can dust that lil guy off cos I like his design) :D

[shalaxi]

Well I figure, the less you know of the plot the more like a regular DnD setting where you don’t know what’s gonna come next it’ll be.

Do you know anyone else that would be interested? I’m attempting to learn how to DM and I know a shitton about this game, so I can do that , and we’ll need probably three players, in not gonna expect too much haha.

A warning though I am very beginner at DM'ing haha.

Do you do it over skype call or video chat?

[raikdow]

Ahhh, I don’t, unfortunately. I don’t have any neofriends I’m really in contact with, alas. I’m reblogging this on my Flight Rising account to signal boost though! (Do you play FR? This week is open registration so if not you should totes check it out)

No worries on being a beginner DM, we all learn at some point, and I’m a pretty chill player. Much more interested in making a good story than I am about specific rules and yadda yadda. ^w^

We do videochat, but I don’t see why you couldn’t do it on just call if that’s easier/more comfortable. Let me know if you find the players you need. And followers, if you’re interested Taakoelf is rad and you should totes message them to let them know you wanna play too!
