Flight Rising Discussion

originally this post was going to be how hyped I was about the 10th anniversary, and TECHNICALLY that is still true

but I realized something felt a little off and I went and counted, it's the 9th anniversary, not the 10th >.<

that whole "The ninth annual Greenskeeper Gathering will begin on May 22nd, and we're running a skin and accent contest in celebration." announcement box threw me off oops


anyways, I'm still hyped for the anniversary! Anyone have any speculation/hopes?

I am always excited for the upcoming anniversary! I don't really have any speculations. They always blow any of my thoughts and hopes out of the water, especially last year!

I feel my anniversary dreams would be pretty boring for most, but I personally would just love a scene dump. Where like, they released all of the coliseum backgrounds (day and night versions) as scenes that could be added to your dragons, as well as a handful of new ones that were just...normal jobs? Like a Mage Room one, a dragon kitchen one or baldwins cauldron one... I love being able to add backgrounds and desperately need new ones.

All I want for the anniversary is that it's NOT the teased profile page revamp (at least not in its shown state) - it's so ugly to me I'd literally take anything else LMAO

What are anniversaries normally like? Haven't been here for the others,,,but if I had to pick something with my no knowledge it would be something a new familiar since I'm a familiar collector I guess.

I'm always pleased to see new things for the website, no matter if they are really 'for me' or not. It's still going. An anniversary apparel set would be neat I think. Maybe for the big 10. Fancy 'the website survived for a decade' clothes haha.

I have a vague recollection of some sort of admin answer to that, but it's been a bit.

Arcanist's crest, it's that close? I mean...

Honestly, I'm hoping that it's either a Crossroads/Auction House/Baldwin item search feature or the long-awaited battle system revamp. The latter is far less likely, given that it's such a significant change and that the devs haven't said much about it. Still, it would be fun to have a working PVP button and more move diversity. Imagine: elemental breath attacks, improved versions of the Energy Stones like Double Scratch, and even a randomizer like Metronome! (The last one is pure speculation, but the other two have been mentioned by the devs at some point.)

what date is the anniversary?

I honestly don’t know, last year’s anniversary blew me away so it’s hard even thinking of something close or better. We’ll just have to wait and see I guess!

i've been on the site for almost 4 years and this will be the first anniversary that i am here for! i am super excited
