Oooooooooh :lol: I barely touch the forums as well so I had no idea they had been doing a bunch of shuffling xD Thank ya!

and BADKADBHABH more extreme worthless junk *sobs*

*throws the salt back at Pinkerton and storms off* You can keep it and any eye drop containers that might be buried under all of Crim's junk since you'll need em a lot more than me >.>

It's annoying getting items like that. Least with food it can go to my dragons but I keep getting things that serve no purpose and who knows WHEN we'll ever see the atm-completely-useless materials and the like actually have a use. Personally it would of been fun to craft things that we could use for various parts of the sites gameplay but instead they're all gem items. Namely the Specialty scrolls and items that are below 500 gems in the marketplace. Boons of Fertility could be excused from being profession-made cause they do help fund the site since people are impatient to hatch nests when they have the money and desire to spend. But the other items like apparel could be crafted.

Though while I'm singling out gem items as example, I really do mean treasure ones too (it's late, like 1am so my thoughts are kinda slow). Just, in general it would of been nice and potentially beneficial to the site if they got professions out before the site went live. It just doesn't make sense why they have ALL these materials and only an eighth to a quarter actually have beneficial uses via Swipp or Crim (she asks for the same things over and over regularly, not much diversity). They went far beyond what they needed for their kickstarter iirc, they had the money saved to work on getting numerous other sections of the site started (again, professions, but also more games and adventure quests) and let the beta testers do their thing. After the testing ends tweak things a bit more, add more of the content the artists were working on to expand the areas that might be at the time teeny tiny, and then release it so their funds don't deplete completely and go from there.

/will probably go on for the rest of time on how they were just truly, honestly, from what I had seen through one of the beta testers who I knew from another site, far too impatient to get the site going without taking a break to sit back and review their short term goals since long term ones should be more about expanding and improving on the short term ones imo

/this rant also stems from a huge irk of mine on what they said regarding the economy problem. They said fairgrounds is supposed to be our source of income. Why are the fairgrounds buggering up so badly, why are there so few games? There's a billion games out there they could of had Thrage code, being the person who oversaw that section, while they were in the construction stages. Chess, checkers, card games, tetris, there's so many to choose from that go far beyond my hastily typed ity bity list that was just what was off the top of my head. Shock Switch sucks, it can be hard on the eyes for some and wrist since pause button tends to break the game and people keep losing all their time and effort and treasure when it glitches. Runes is already broken 98% of the time-- unless its actually fixed now, I have noooooo idea cause I haven't done fairgrounds since september. It's not exactly easy on the wrist either cause there's no pause button and its a timed game. All you got left is puzzles which hardly gives you anything for the time you spend on it and Higher or Lower which is the worst game I've ever seen on a site.

Ugh I dunno, late night rant. Sleep will do me some good methinks :lol:

After pricing my latest dragons, I must admit that I'm feeling let-down and disgusted. I spent over 100K on a tiger scroll to make my boring Snapper at least somewhat lucrative, only to realise that it's just pointless. Her babies won't sell for more than 10K each, if even that. So why do I bother?

I think I am at the stage where I will most likely stop breeding after the nests I have cooking hatch, and since it's the only way I make money on the site, and one of the few things I enjoy, I think I'll stop playing too. I'm feeling bored and angry. At least in WoW I get a suitable reward for the effort I put in.

Sorry for the whining, just needed to get it off my chest.

Edit: Worst of all is looking at my dragons after this rant, and knowing that I couldn't let them starve. So I'm forced to keep logging in to feed them if nothing else, because they're my goddamn pixel babies. :lol:

this sooo much this... it feels futile to gene your dragons up... it feels futile to expand your lair and it feels futile to buy new dragons....

they gotta turn it around soon... most of us wants to breed and make money from it.. they HAVE to adapt the game to their playerbase soon!!

I totally know where you're coming from Moz, and I've only been playing since the last registration window :( It's impossible to get treasure to increase your lair to breed more dragons (can't even think about buying other peoples, which in turn helps them afford their expansion!), you can't breed as there's no room (can't sell to make room as no one else has room, can't expand because of this), can't afford a crackle scroll as I can't sell...but then again is it worth it as I'm not even sure crackle dragons are selling with any gusto either? Gonna need to start exalting some gorgeous dragons soon :'( *sigh*

Yeah, I've been more or less the same way for the past little while. There were a couple times where I just cleared out chunks of my lair and exalted a bunch of dragons thinking I'd quit, but I always have those certain ones I'm attached to that make me stick around.

I still find things to do and I have goals, but I don't really try for much anymore. I let treasure slowly accumulate and sometimes I get a new dragon, but I'm trying to keep my lair small so it's less maintenance. I log in every now and then to do some gathering and feed my babies, but breeding is more of an afterthought that might get me a bit of treasure but for the most part it's just straight to exaltation for some pocket change.

The site is just very stagnant right now. I do not enjoy grinding for treasure so I don't bother. I don't want to expand my lair because I can't afford it and the more dragons you have the more genes/apparel you probably want to buy which is even less affordable. So I'm just trying to focus on a small core group of my dragons and slowly purchase things for them and breed on the side for exalt money at the least, but I don't feel super invested in anything.

It's at the point where I'm not even angry or anything, I'm just...bored. And a little sad there isn't more to do because it could be a really fun site if they had the resources to add to it. I know they're always working on new things, but I fear updates are too slow and the population will continue to decline before they can even reach a stage where the site is fun again, I dunno.

I admit not being able to sell stuff reliably is pretty frustrating. I mean, I still enjoy the game- a lot. An unhealthy amount. I spend way too much time on FR. But it can be disheartening to hatch a nest, be super proud of the babies, and then realize that selling them is going to be a long shot.

I think it really depends on what you enjoy about the game. For me, I really just want to look at all the pretties. I want to dress up my pretties, and write descriptions and think about their stories. I love treasure, but I mean, I'm happy to accumulate it slowly. And hey, sometimes I can sell dragons, it adds up over time. I think that's healthier for me- I need to have things a little slowed down.

Plus with the prices so low, if I can't sell a dragon, I can wait until it grows up and then exalt it after leveling it a few times. >.>

I'm feeling quite the same way right now. I'm beginning to enjoy things less and less since it's pretty much the same thing over and over again. Feed dragons, gather items, sell items, attempt to sell dragons, train up and exalt dragons no one wants. Particularly now with the extremely annoying coli bug where bolt-type spells cause the FPS to drop to unbearable levels making levelling new teams or grinding with casters nigh impossible.

Unfortunately for me, because of various IRL issues (no job, computer busted in such a way that I can only play in Safe Mode etc) FR is pretty much the only thing I can do. I'm forced to pick at the game in hopes it entertains me enough otherwise I'm stuck in bed or staring out the window all day. That's another reason why I enjoy helping others find things on the market. Aside from enjoying helping anyway, with nothing else to distract me I might as well kick up YouTube on my phone and refresh the market every 5 minutes.

Rest in peace mum. I really did love and miss you, even if I never got to see you.

I would of preferred a fly cause then I could convert it for food :lol: I don't mind getting food items, even 2point ones, its when I get items that literally have no use in any way, shape, form except for Crim's offers on the site that makes me frustrated with getting a crappy item from him.

I too am like the rest of you guys, fairly bored. I breed to exalt now. I didn't even bother mulling over a bunch of dragons I had the other day, I just exalted like 5 of them and hatched my nests that needed that room to hatch. 3 of them were adults and could of been leveled and exalted but I was in a 'really dont care' mood and just sent them all to work for the Lightweaver as they were. I don't even name my exalt fodder, I grow attached to them when I try to find the right sort of name for them so I can send them off. If I end up contemplating sending a baby off that someone else had bred, I do try to name them but atm its pretty much just whatever I breed, I don't buy exalt fodder (not worth it imo and it makes the breeders sad)

I don't see exalting as a sacrificial thing anymore, specially considering the gods do exist on the physical plane. The intention the admins wanted when making the system was to make it sound like they were moving up in their clans ranks to receive the honor of working side by side with the god they were sent to and not some sort of medieval times ritual :lol: It really does help not feel bad about the process when you do it on your dragons when you think about it as something good rather than a tragedy

For goals, which is the only thing that keeps me active other than my morning ritual of doing dailies is to slowly prettify my dragons. I'm not even caring about discounts anymore unless its for genes. I'll just go to the marketplace or AH and buy the apparel or the familiar I really want and give it to mah babeh's. Right now I'm saving up again for a Spiral scroll since I spent that money on Crackle gene's instead and from there I'll probably work on giving Hurricane his genes

Trying to figure out if it's FR acting up slightly on me or my computer...

I will hurt you for this. I don’t know how yet, but give me time. A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you’ll know the debt is paid.

Hey Castile if you want to sell it let me know and I'll try and get the treasure together to buy it, depending on the price of course.
