Flight Rising - Official TEF Memberlist and Discussion Blog

If you decide to change flights, let Quad know and he'll put you under the correct flight listing.


Important messages from the Flight Rising crew here






Scythe introduced me to this game a few days ago, and since then I've become addicted with it. So I wanted to make a blog for us TEF members who are playing. Basically, it's a game all about raising a clan of dragons and battling with them Pokemon style.

You choose from 11 different elements at the beginning, and depending on which you pick, your first dragons will be that element. You have your own dragon god and area on the map based on your element, and you can breed dragons to build your clan and trade with others.

Anyway, check the game out here.

If you're a member and want to be on the list, let me know your username and element and I'll add you. (A link to your clan profile really helps me for linking purposes Eye ) I've got a bunch of TEF members on my friends list on Flight Rising but I'd rather you let me know you want to be on the list than just add you without permission.

Also feel free to talk about this game as much as you'd like in the blog. There's a lot to discuss XD

It's been roughly 23 hours,

It's been roughly 23 hours, at least from my calculation. But I know they have a good reason for having it down so hopefully they'll get the issue fixed soon.


Edit -

From Xhaztol -

"Hello everyone,

We located a critical issue that pertained to gem values for site features such as messages, Crossroads trades, Auction House, and Marketplace purchases. We believe this issue to be a direct result of a malicious attack. We have been taking precautions and working hard to amend the issue and patch up the vulnerability. To ensure we address the problem completely and efficiently, we do want to give our code team sufficient time to eat and sleep, so we will be keeping the site in maintenance until proper rest and testing has been achieved.

We have opted, in this case, to not perform a site rollback. This means that you may have been affected by this issue if you participated in transactions between the site hours of August 3rd from 14:00 - 21:00.

To help you guys as expediently as possible, it is very important for you to visit this thread and follow the instructions for submitting a ticket to us. We will be answering these as quickly as we possibly can, but the replies may be up to a few days.

During the downtime, we will be taking care of the following:

Eggs will be incubated
Dragons will all have a healthy meal
3-day energy bonuses will be preserved

In an unrelated note, there seems to have been a recent infestation of adorable albino hedgehogs, so it's very likely you may see one hiding in your Hoard:



Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to resolve these issues.

Hedgehogs!

Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world.

"Hello everyone - just a

"Hello everyone - just a quick update: We currently still do not have an ETA on the site opening again, but work is continuing with great fervor! We are making adjustments and refinements to code that may have been susceptible to the attack and doing thorough testing before getting the site back into prime-time. I know it can be really frustrating to not have time estimates, but we promise we're aiming to have this done as soon as humanly (read: dragonly) possible. Thank you!"


Man...I just realized, I would have been able to breed my snappers today. Ah well, they'll be later now.

Does this mean that any nests

Does this mean that any nests that would have been ready to hatch will still be able to, or will they still have the original amount of days left when the site went down?

They said that they'd keep nests incubated among other things, so I'd assume that they're still progressing as normal?

^That's what I had assumed, too.
Can you imagine, though, what 3+ days' worth of hatchlings without that amount of time for money earning is going to do to the economy..?

Wonder if the auction house will see another price drop. Hm.

Iiit's going to be pretty

Iiit's going to be pretty terrible, I'm sure. I don't know how much lower the Starter breeds can go, at this point; Trying to sell them is nearly not worth it anymore :/

PLK217's picture

Well, it is questionable what

Well, it is questionable what is happening with the Auction house itself. If the expiration time is still going on, then most of the offers (all that were set to 1 or 3 days for sure) would be already down and the auction house would be quite "empty".
Which I think can support the rising of the prices again. But it's not going to last for long. One or two days I suppose.
And also, I'm still not sure whether the auction house time is really paused or not. I can see my dragons as "up to auction" but I don't remember putting them there for such a long time.

EDIT:

From Undel:

Hello everyone!

After much deliberation, the development team has come to the decision that we will be leaving Flight Rising in maintenance until after server migration is fully completed on the weekend ending in Sunday, August 11. This longer maintenance period will provide the benefit of allowing our coders to maximize their research, optimization, and implementation, as well as give ample time to our artists to prepare more content for future updates post-migration.

    What this means for you:
  • Your dragons will be fed/cared for.
  • Your eggs will be cared for.
  • All players will receive a 3-day clan energy bonus and have it preserved as long as we're down.
  • We will be providing a thank you Care Package full of goodies to all users.
  • We will be providing an Albino Hedgehog familiar to all users.
  • Water Flight will retain their Dominance going into the new week post-migration, to make up for the fact that they did not get to utilize it this week.
In addition to the above, we will be making the final preparation for the Skydancer breed, which will be debuting a week after the site returns!

We would like to extend our thanks for the words of encouragement, the amazing interactions of the community, and the patience you all have had while we continue to work. We are confident that this decision will mean positive things for the ongoing development of the site, and cannot wait to get everyone back in again.

I had a feeling this might happen and in all honesty it might as well happen. As horrible as my withdrawals will be, I'm very excited for the new Skydancers! I hope they won't be as rare as Imperials/Wildclaws/Pearlcatchers etc. But I bet they will ;~;

What a week!

We've been working hard to prep for this weekend, and are now in full swing with the migration process. Over the next few days, we will be packing up, moving, and testing on the new hardware. Skydancer progress is going great! We currently do not have an exact time or rough estimate of when things will be fully operational, but as soon as we have the move signed off, we'll let everyone know. Smiling

Hope you all have had a nice week - we're excited to have you all back soon!

PLK217's picture

I really don't want to

I really don't want to disappoint you, but I think there is no such thing like "nightly maintenance".

It is more likely, that you just managed to log in through some "gap", despite the official Down-Time and Server Migration is still in progress. Otherwise I believe there would be an announcement about the sites being back up and working again on the main page.
With this, I can only tell you, who hatched your eggs, that your dragon babies probably does not exist any more. I can see only a blank images here and the links lead me to "page not found" error.

-snorts- Check this,

-snorts-

Check this, PLK217.

The hatchlings are still there and they're fine.
PLK217's picture

Hmm, all right then. But

Hmm, all right then.

But that still does not change anything about that I can't see the hatchlings. When I browse the pages I see only unhatched nests with eggs, no newer posts on forum than from August 3rd, search still says it is down and all the dragons of all users have the same amount of energy...

Weird.

@PLK217: While I don't

@PLK217:
While I don't understand why you can't see or access the site properly right now, the nightly maintenance does exist; it's been going on for the past few weeks (and probably even before then, I just hadn't noticed). It's when they add all the new features and put up any news that they have to share, like this morning/evening's "Welcome back" news post.



Also, completely unrelated, buuut...



Blood/Tangerine/Ice male.

I snagged this little guy from the auction house for 90k, and got him as a breeder for:



Brown/Azure/White female.

I'm a lot happier with them as a pair than her and my Spiral, as I had originally planned. Now, if I could just get my hands on some genes... Tiger for certain, and maybe Eye Spots or Seraph for the secondary?
Their color possibilities.
