Re: Flight Rising - General Discussion
That said, VERY hard to work with- I'm excited for the secondary to come out, as I think I'll get a lot more mileage out of that one! (But I've found one dragon in particular who cannot live without it, at least)

Re: Flight Rising - General Discussion
I was doing some size comparisons with the Dragon Sizes Tool to make sure things in my Pinkerlocke story made sense (Ilmatar is a lot bigger than I thought she was!) and ended up playing around with the biggest dragons of each breed in my lair. This is the result:
Since I had to zoom out a bit to get them in, here are their names if you feel like checking them out:
Fae: Monarch --------- (Length: 1.09m, Wingspan: 1.7m)
Spiral: Barba ---------- (Length: 4.33m, Wingspan: 3.39m)
Tundra: Tau ----------- (Length: 4.42m, Wingspan: 2.73m)
Bogsneak: Balmung -- (Length: 4.9m, Wingspan: 4.65m) - Wins by default as he's the only non-size bugged Bog in my lair
Snapper: GennaBain - (Length: 5.09m, Wingspan: 2.19m)
Nocturne: Vera ------- (Length: 5.4m, Wingspan: 7.48m)
Skydancer: Bluemoon (Length: 5.57m, Wingspan: 6.42m)
Wildclaw: Nix --------- (Length: 6.71m, Wingspan: 7.23m)
Mirror: Snodgrass ---- (Length: 7.12m, Wingspan: 5.6m)
Pearlcatcher: Aya ---- (Length: 7.3m Wingspan: 7.03m) - Just shy of the biggest female Pearlcatcher as of the last update to The Dragon Census
Coatl: Cringer -------- (Length: 8.27m, Wingspan: 8.09m)
Guardian: Nailah ---- (Length: 16.35m, Wingspan: 17.67m)
Ridgeback: Ikana ---- (Length: 24.96m, Wingspan: 17.25m) - Matches biggest female Ridgeback as of the last update the Census
Imperial: Faron ------ (Length: 30.41, Wingspan: 23.76m)

TEN Starmap gene scrolls - I really, really wanna win one of these, I've lowkey decided it's the perfect primary for my latest Spiral.
TWENTY-FIVE bundles of 10x gold muck. Useful, I suppose.

Ditto.
I wasn't going to bother as my luck always tends to run low in situations like this, but the chance at Speedy was just too tempting. I would never be able to afford him otherwise.

Re: Flight Rising - General Discussion
the raffle would be fun if the staff wasn't using it as a money sink to try and bandaid the broken economy / treasure-hoarding.Tårnfalk wrote:More than a million tickets sold. ..the chances of winning is soo low for casual players. .they should put a limit on..I saw one guy who had used 1,5 million treasure on tickets. .yeah I am NOT competing with that. I buy 50 tickets as max just for fun. .but not more
it might also have something to do with the dragon being a XXX gen one right off the bat, but lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: Flight Rising - General Discussion
I do like the idea of the tickets you purchase becoming more expensive as you buy more, though. It'd actually help the treasure sink factor, as long as the prizes remained enticing enough.
I also want to take a moment to do some quick math. As of right now, the second day, Roundsey has sold 1,320,000 tickets. That's 660million treasure worth of tickets (Roundsey is one rich dragon right now). If you wanted even a one percent chance of winning any of the prizes (according to staff, you don't get to choose what you win, your prize gets chosen when your ticket is drawn and you can only win once), you'd have to spend over 6.5 million treasure. That's a lot, even for richer players. Now, taking a look at the prize pool, the only thing on that list worth over 6.5 million treasure is maybe the gen one. Speedy is 2000-2500g on the AH right now. Why would any financially aware player spend 6.5 million treasure for a one percent chance of a chance at winning an item that they could buy with one-hundred percent certainty at one third of that amount?
Anybody who has spent 1million + treasure is likely banking on winning that XXX, but we know only one person is going to win it. Considering the prize pool, and the fact that you don't get to choose your prize, even if your ticket is drawn in the one percent pull, you still only have a 1/41 chance of getting the big prize.
I dunno, with that math it just seems to me that anyone who spends anything more than what the lowest worth prize is worth is literally throwing away money. I think the truly rich players are aware of that too.

Re: Flight Rising - General Discussion
I don't know the record but rumors has it that someone bought more than 30,000 tickets. . How shall a casual compete with that?
Yes it is a good treasure sink. .but an unfair one...
