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

(Not in Auction House as of this time, but will be by tomorrow.)




male, azure/tangerine/pink, 100k in AH, 90k for TEFers




male, midnight/tangerine/soil, 100k in AH, 90k for TEFers




female, obsidian/tangerine/soil, 100k in AH, 90k for TEFers


So we've got a male copy of the mother, a female copy of the father, and an in-between, which is my favorite and will be the most difficult to give up.

I should not be allowed in

I should not be allowed in the AH when I'm sitting on almost 300k. This happens:

He was only 110k though, great for being double gened~

Also: twin PC girls for sale. Offers? In the AH for 15k but I'll go lower to TEF people. Both obsidian/denim seraph, one has splash tertiary and one has thistle.

Warning - More of a rant

Warning - More of a rant below, but it is on my mind for far too long already and I feel like I should tell you.

I wonder you keep complainimg about the economy... when it only reflects, how the real one works.
There is only one thing that can actually resolve the market with dragons: their aging and eventual death. For as long the exaltation is just optional, there will be always far too many dragons for sale. New players or larger lairs are only temporary slutions.

Here is another thing you can think about: do you realize you treat dragons like thigs? Selling and buying, sending away anytime you happen to don't like how they look or when you don't have enough space? Why did you make them out, when you have nowhere to place them? Do your dragons have to produce eggs everytime they get rid of the breeding cooldown? Do you also get a new sibling every 9 months? Also, have you considered your hatchlings would probably like to stay with their parents, to feel the family love? You can at least let them grow up before kickim them out of your lair.

WonderfullySarcastic's picture

Well.. I'm a little glad

Well.. I'm a little glad about the exaltation boosts, as it will up the prices of some of the fodder dragons in the AH, and give more reason to exalt hatchlings that are utter eyesores.

Also, I got a strange thought in my head last night:
What if your dragon had a "fee" before it would breed? Put those "favoured treasures" of each element to work in making the economy better? That way people can't just breed dragons willy-nilly. You have to go gather up whatever item your dragon wants in whatever quantity (presumably higher for more rare dragons) and THEN you get to breed them. Not only would you have to take the time to get these items, it would raise the value of the hatchlings bred, because you had to put something of value into them to get them. Right? So say you were breeding an Arcane dragon to an Ice; you'd have to go and get those runestones/meteors and fossil/atrifacts before the two could breed. And you wouldn't have to pay for the items, since they're gather-able, but you could if you wanted to, to speed up getting those babies. So you take your pick: slower dragon hatching or pricey babies.
I think this would be a rather good idea to getting the dragon population under control, raises the value of dragons, and make exalting them less of an option for those who are looking for a quick bit of treasure from another's potentially pretty hatchlings.

I honestly hope that makes sense, made perfect sense in my sleep deprived brain last night. What do all of y'all think?

As far as I'm concerned,

As far as I'm concerned, these dragons are just pixels. Some are simply prettier than others. The only dragons I care significantly about are the ones I model after certain characters of mine, or canon characters from a fandom, but I don't project my love for those characters onto the dragons.

The dragons I keep are kept because I like the way they look. Period. If someone has a problem with my attitude, then I'm sorry, but I'm not changing it. I'm not asking you to change yours.

Also, I think they're wanting

Also, I think they're wanting more to exalt because of the dominance thing. Maybe it wasn't getting enough popularity and NEED the fodder for it? Especially for us water types....we're not so big in ranks it seems. I'm not happy about the prices or anything but with a set amount of players, once everyone has their dream team, ALL dragons would be fodder.

And Quad - TY!!

WonderfullySarcastic: It

WonderfullySarcastic: It makes sense and I think it is quite a good idea.

OkamiLugia: Of course they are just pixels. I'm not forcing enyone to change the way they play the game. I'm just offering a different way, how to play it. There is only one thing I'm curious about - if you care only about the look of the pixels, why playing a game? Why not just save the image you like? It's pretty much what BlueOrchid wrote: "...once everyone has their dream team, ALL dragons would be fodder." What would be the purpose of playing the game then?

But your suggestions seem to imply that I should change they way I play.

Quote:

I don't like being asked to justify my feelings or how I play this game. But I will anyway for the sake of enlightenment.

It's impossible for me to complete my "dream team", simply because there are so many different combinations of dragons, and so there will probably always be another addition to my "dream team" I want to make. For example, new breeds and new genes open up more possibilities. And if I decide I want to make another dragon based on another OC or another canon character I like... Even more possible additions. I feel like a lot of people can relate to this idea that their "dream team" can't ever be truly complete.

I play because when it's working properly, I get some amusement out of striving for a certain dragon (which may be impossible to get without being able to make substantial treasure, which returns to my point about my only feasible option being breeding exalting fodder) or the unexpected pleasant surprises from experimental breedings, as I have kept several of those. It's the feeling of having "achieved" that dragon as opposed to just copying and pasting the image into a folder.

Okami - my dream team thing

Okami - my dream team thing wasn't directed at you specifically. I meant the site as a whole. Of course there are some who will never be done with it. That goes without saying, I figured. I shouldn't have to go trhough every person individually when I don't even know anyone. It's not right to put my comment on the spot like that when it was generalized and vague and NOT directed at you.

If PLK hadn't used that

If PLK hadn't used that comment to ask "then what's the point of playing the game?" then I wouldn't have even mentioned it. He could have used his own rephrasing of the sentiment. He could have said something entirely. It was the fact he asked "then what's the point of playing the game?".

Quote:
my dream team thing wasn't directed at you specifically. I meant the site as a whole.


And I refuted that sentiment and went on to say that I believe people would probably relate to my reasoning more. I didn't take it as a personal attack from you, and I don't understand what's "not right" by giving a civil rebuttal to that comment.

I responded to PLK because his words made it seem that some of us were playing FR the "wrong" way by exalting fresh hatchlings for treasure, and he used your comment to back up his own feelings.

Quote:

It doesn't go without saying when you generalize. When making general statements, it is for everyone's benefit to point that out beforehand.

Hey there's going to be

Hey there's going to be another registration window for you guys who haven't gotten to register yet. Here's what the FR team just posted:

After monitoring the stability of Flight Rising since our last registration window, we are happy to report that we will be opening the gates again for another window! The next window will take place on:


Wednesday, October 23rd from 05:00 to 11:00 FR Server Time
(5AM to 11AM PST/8AM to 2PM EST)


This window, as you may notice, is 6 hours long rather than 3. Our goal, over the coming weeks, is to continue increasing the durations of these windows gradually while monitoring the site. Our hope is that by doing so, we can spread out the perceived volume enough that people are eventually registering at a more gradual rate, which will be healthier on the load. While we don’t have concrete dates or plans for subsequent windows, the team would love to make them more consistent until the gates are open permanently.

We have been working with LightSky closely to refine the registration process so that if heavy load causes any part of the process to fail, users will be notified. We had several players not make it in last time even though they received confirmation e-mails, and are looking to prevent that in this window.

We look forward to greeting all of our new players!
