Suggestions

I know this idea is getting a lot of hate, so I’ll leave this note here to showcase my idea, but I understand now that the idea was kinda stupid. So I apologize. Feel free to still hear out my suggestion though if you’re interested.

So, I have put some heavy thought into this idea and have a list of suggested ideas and such I would like implemented into this idea if the site were to ever consider my idea.

Title Ideas:
-Nana’s Exalt Emporium
-Nana’s Nursery
-Nana’s Adoption Center

Anyway, with that note aside. I would like to introduce everyone to the idea of Nana’s Exalt Emporium! The point of Nana’s Exalt Emporium is to give players a chance to potentially buy/bid for 3-5 pre-exalted dragons on the entire site. Currently there are 42,283,746 exalted dragons, all of which vary in color, year/age, level and other such examples. Nana, an Exalt Guardian (could potentially be an old imp or an ancient dragon), is sorta like a caretaker to dragons who have been exalted.

On her page, Nana will show 3-5 dragons, that being said, these dragons will be chosen at random from the exalted part of the site. Though there’s a catch, players will not be allowed to see the age/level of the dragon, this will give players that risk/gamble needed for the game. That being said, Nana shows off different beauties either once a day or once a week, depending on what the devs and such decide. That’s a lot of dragons, so we don’t want to bring back tons of dragons on the daily, hence only using 3-5 dragons a day or even a week.

The dragons could also strictly be rarer dragons; that being said that entails, rare eye types, color combos, or even as stated leveled/year dragons.

Gosh if inly I could draw as well, I’d draw Nana myself, and I felt that the name Nana just fit for several reasons. Nana is saving all these exalt dragons, taking care of them, and providing them with a new home.

Also as like a repercussion to people who accidentally exalt their dragons and such, Nana won’t be allowed to show any exalt dragons from the last/current month, that way if someone accidentally exalted their dragon, it won’t appear on Nana’s adoption circle and be lost in the site.

An additional repercussion, it has come to my attention that some people Exalt their dragons for their own lore purposes, so a suggestion to make sure their specific dragon does not get chosen, and exalt button that players can activate to make sure their dragon doesn’t get resold could be added to the dragon. That way Nana won’t ruin personal lore and can allow for other players to get dragons from owners or players who no longer play, dragons.

Speaking of the circle, the design I was hoping to have for Nana, was like Nana looking down at a nest of different dragons. So that could potentially be the background design for Nana’s and the dragons layout could be similar to how the ticket booth on the trading post looks.

Then again, if we did Nana’s as a once a week thing, we could also have a ticket/bidding system for a peculiar dragon, that way everyone can still have a chance to look at the dragons while at the same time give the system large wads of money for dragons that already pre-existed on the site; because getting an old dragon age/level is a gamble that some people are willing to take or a gamble people are willing to take if they really need this specific color and it’s the only one in existence.

In addition, adding Nana could create more lore for exalted dragons from those of which who didn’t provide personal lore, though reminder I now know that exalting a dragon is like sending your dragon out to the war, so this option does not have to account for anything. For example, it could be said that exalted dragons are given to a dragon caretaker, in which they care for the dragons for all of eternity. It could help explain why most exalted dragons are always at full health and everything because they are being taken are of and such. Nana could be like the guardian of the many caretakers and so she took on the duty of giving these dragons another chance at having a home!

And of course if you happen to get the exalt dragon, you are always welcome to exalt them again. Also, Nana’s Exalt Emporium will give people a chance to win leveled dragons. So like the year the dragon was hatched, we could have the level hidden as well, that way the rarity/gamble for the dragon is better. Because for all we know, that dragon you just got from Nana was a level 25!

Pro-gens don’t have to be accounted for either! After all this is strictly a suggestion and a lot of errors in this can be piqued to satisfy someone. It simply just needs though to how it can be implemented.

Additional information about Nana’s will be provided once more comes to mind or more suggestions are suggested!

I am sorry to say, don't expect a lot of support.

For one, this would be so abused.

For another, those dragons are still bound to the accounts that exalted them, so technically they are still owned.

Yet another, can you imagine this scenario? You decide to make memorial dragons. You find the right colors, give them appropriate names, gene them, and because you want them to symbolize those you have lost, you exalt them.

One day, you come back, and go to look at a memorial dragon, and find it in a different lair, with a different name, perhaps different genes, or even colors. Do you know how much that would hurt?

There is also the lore aspect. Some players exalt dragons for lore, whether or not they have children/parents of the dragon in question, and suddenly they have a strange name showing up on their offspring list, and that dragon is now in a strange lair?

Next, there is the economy issue. We have enough dragons in the economy NOW that we really don't need to bring back exalted dragons. About the only reason to do this would be for the lower digit IDs or Gen1/2 imperials. All other dragons can be recreated through effort and/or time.

Lastly, how would this affect dominance and exalting stats? Since the game keeps records of that, and there are achievements for it, so how would this affect those achievements. Would these dragons be worth the same for exalting? Imagine people exalting dragons and constantly unexalting them and then reexalting them? IT might take a bit of work, but I can see people stalking various dragons trying to unexalt them.

I have to say absolute no support. There really is no upside to this other than some players wil lbe able to get lower ID dragons, and there doesn't need to be much more lore to exalting than there already is. I like that FR gives players lore to work with ,but doesn't pigeon hole them into certain ways.

For instance, exalting is sending dragons off to the deities. However, we don't know WHAT they do for the deities, so it can be anything you want.

Definitely no support for any feature that allows exalted dragons to be unexalted by people that did not previously own them.

yeaaaah I don't expect this to get a lot of support either

No support.

Site cannon has the exalted dragons serving the elemental deities. This makes no sense in that lore scheme.

Also, what if someone's dragon got put into this that was exalted for personal lore reasons? I have a few dragons that I have exalted specifically for lore, some unnamed even. I don't want my lore messed up cause a dragon I exalted three years ago got put in the pot, won, and then named.
Dragons I exalt for lore reasons still belong to my account.

Also, what about exalted progens? They should never be allowed to be taken from an account in anyway. This suggestion doesn't seem to include progens.

I think we need more ways to remove dragons from the game, not add them back in.

How would this affect dom?

And the current lore for exalted dragons is they are sent off to serve their deity. They are not tossed away or anything like that, they go to serve the 'war' effort of their deity in some way that they can - be it fighting, keeping notes, gathering, etc. They are taking care of themselves while working for their deity, or under the direct care of their deity until they are of age. It's the highest honor a dragon can have.

No support for this - though you can change this idea into a more official 'share dragons on exalt row' sort of thing - people who don't like to exalt can willingly give dragons to Nana, and she can hold them for a time before redistributing them. They do not count towards dom until exalted.

No support for stealing other players' exalted dragons. Exalted dragons belong to the player who exalted them. No one else.

Exalting is the highest honor a dragon can have. Exalted dragons don't need "saved." And it's an insult to say my exalted dragons need saving from me. I exalted them precisely because that is where I wanted them with my account.

Many, many players exalt for all kinds of lore reasons. This would completely obliterate that. It's disrespectful to so many play styles.

If Player A sees an exalted dragon and likes it, A can breed for an identical one.

[quote name="OkanaWolf" date="2019-07-15 09:20:46" ] Nana, an Exalt Guardian (could potentially be an old imp or an ancient dragon), is sorta like a caretaker to dragons who have been exalted. [/quote] This part clashes with FR lore, as exalted dragons are supposed to be sent to serve the gods. I think the current lore should stay as is as to not further damage the reputation of exalting - a lot of people see exalting as killing dragon's, and I imagine it would not make many happy to know that their exalted dragons are essentially being dumped for someone else to come pick up. Lore, in addition to everything that Jemadar said, is why I don't support this

I don't really think players should get someone else's exalted dragons. If I exalted my dragon's parents to make sure their names stay the same forever, I'd be very anxious about someone 'winning' one of those parents and renaming them. Same with dragons whose lore/appearances I saved and reference in my current dragon's lore.

I think this sounds fun as a lore idea :p like you could run a hatchery with this as lore!
