Make Flight Rising better by sharing your ideas!
TOPIC | My Suggestions
Hello!
These are my Suggestions for Flight Rising that will help

When I battle I like some on the animation on the enemy

Maybe the dragons have a little of that?

Some of the appeal does not fit the dragons maybe some can be fixed

Any other Suggestions I missed?

Animating the dragons I believe would be a lot of work for something most people would turn off after a few frames.

For comparison:

The Enemies in the coliseum are 'static' IE there is only ONE (and my mind has just went blank on every single enemy creature...) Grey river flight. Every grey river flight on site and in the coliseum will look exactly like the same.

Dragons on the other hand are vastly different.

The image used in the coliseum for a dragon depends on: breed, sex, colors, genes, skins, accents and apparel. Users can use any combination of the above.

This means a LOT of animating and there might be some issues of animating the skins/accents if how they do it 'uncovers' portions of the dragon, meaning they need to add to the existing skins.

I would support a slight 'breathing' motion (think of the meditate motion, but scaled down vastly) to compliment the 'floating' motion of flyers, as I don't think that would be too hard to do, considering the meditate already does it.

However, head movements, wings, legs, tails etc.. no support.

For the Apparel, there are a lot of apparel that needs to be fixed, and I believe that there is a thread about it somewhere, but I don't know where.

I understand this fact but a lot of work does make something great ^^;; it just something me and my friends always wanted

No support for dragon animations. They are a lot of work for something with such menial effect. At best a few days after they would be introduced people won't even look at them anymore since they just want fast battles. At worst the new animations will add aditional strain on the servers and peoples devices - people have enough problems with the animations we allready have.

As for the 'apparel not fitting dragons' I'm a bit unsure what you mean? Do you mean that you found anatomical/physical errors? Or just that the selection of apparel we have don't fit your needs?

The first one bothered me too - but alas unless everything is redrawn in a realistical fashion we will have to live with that. And redrawing most of them might have people going up in arms with all the changes to beloved apparel - plus some just is not logical overall so there won't be a way to fix it.

If you just need more choise - wait. Apparel is constantly added. If you feel something specific missing you can make a suggestion in that apparel masterpost.

[quote name="Demonpixy" date=2017-08-10 11:52:09] I understand this fact but a lot of work does make something great ^^;; it just something me and my friends always wanted [/quote] Not necessarily. A lot of work has gone into many things that ultimately flopped or were considered horrible. There are a great many people who want to turn off animations, more than I have seen for adding more, in the coliseum because they get boring and old, and as Ismaiel said, they can also cause lag and in general is just something more that needs to load that really doesn't need to be there. yeah, seeing a dragon shake its head might be cute the first dozen times you see it, but after hundreds or thousands of battles in the coliseum, it is no longer cute, and at best something you just completely tune out, at worst a distraction.

It's not up to me to decide if the amount of work into animating dragons would be worth it, but there are a lot of people that are inconvenienced by the current animations (despite the coliseum being just a html5 element, it can lag and use a lot of pc resources). This would unfortunately add to the problem
