Oh god, the Dark Mode release was horrid. Why they thought it would be a good idea to release this unfinished and force us all to be their guinea pigs is beyond me. Supposedly this was released with accessibility in mind but it seems to be giving everyone eyestrain. There's been some issues with bugs causing the screen to flash. They also switched buttons around for no reason? The contrast with the themes, and especially between "available" and "unavailable" buttons are terrible and difficult to parse.
Style choices and theme options are something even big corporate sites and applications utilize which is what is REALLY throwing me. Its like the staff here are stuck in the 90s and don't know how layouts work at all. Even these forums (Kiwi) have style options and shit. And if they (FR Staff) don't know how to do something maybe they should hire someone who does because if I pulled this type of stuff at my current company I would be fired FAST. We would never roll out something in this state to the end users and would NEVER push experiment to prod. If you want/need people to test, you have people opt in and COMPLETE it before pushing it out to everyone. Its like they have a single hamster on a keyboard keysmashing their stuff. AI could literally do better than this. It is also like they are allergic to feedback. We have a team of people who do marketing research and user feedback. FR doesnt need an entire team, they can hire a single person to scout the suggestions forums, compile stuff, produce polls, forms, interviews, etc. Again, normal things that companies do.

Dark Mode Redux on Stylus had updated within just a few days to be compatible with the new layout, and although there's some graphical glitches here and there it has made the site usable.
lol they should just hire this person, if they would be interested that is.

More random tid bits of drama and personal woes: they have banned a popularly used image hosting website postimg because of the explicit ads that may appear if you visit the website. Didn't warn anyone so people can change them, so now thousands of hosted images are broken. Funnily enough, they're forcing people to visit the website so that they can download the images and rehost them. Europe has been banning a lot of image hosting websites as a whole and I still have no clue what to use for my images so that everyone can see them.
I stole this from someone (no I am not giving credit) and don't know if FR blocks these, and I have not tested, but thought I would share.

Though this explains why some of my images went poof. I do save local copies though. I cant be bothered to reupload every time FR staff shit themselves. Because for some reason they feel the need to police everything outside of FR too.

Is IMGbb blocked for you?

They still haven't dealt with the 10k+ AI scraper bots invading the website and slowing it down every once in a while. They usually appear right after an update, but hilariously enough the dark mode release was so bad even they didn't want in on it. They were back after the release of the next update after that though. The playerbase has been urging them to stop allowing so much of the website to be seen by people who aren't logged into an account. It's unnecessary. However I've seen someone express concern that this may encourage them to create bot accounts, something that has apparently already happened before? A bot that gave a long AI generated summary of a thread out of the blue?
I ran into a thread before the staff got to it once. They just spam up the forums with AI nonsense. AI scrapers is an issue we are trying to fight at work as well simply for a cost perspective because it utilizes a ton of resources and can cause our costs to go up. Obviously if its too aggressive it can basically cause outages too. FR needs to use something like Cloudflare or Tartarus. Again, this is basic knowledge one should have especially in the industry they are part of.

Flightrising exists on the back of addiction. Nothing more.
I stopped playing not only because of drama, poor management, and mouse mod, but also because theres literally nothing to do after all of these years. I fight in the same venue to raise baby dragons to exalt them to make dragon money. All for what? For someone to just use crypto under the table to buy up all the Light Sprites, gen 2 imps, and imp scrolls. :suffering:
 
Why are image hosts being banned?
Supposedly because there was a problem with one having pornographic ads. Something about FR being 13+ so they don't want to/can't link to off-site porn. Some users claim they have never seen such ads on the site and others claimed they were immediately blasted by them.
 
I've been on this goddam hellsite for over a decade. The dark mode revamp looks like shit. I just redid the old layout as a stylus extension based off what I had saved from doing things earlier. I was, at one point, also helping host a variety of resources, so I'll have to find the time to reupload hundred of images since they keep banning image hosts :story:

Devs cannot design their own site which why I feel no shame in writing a half dozen extensions so I can have basic QoL features like being able to actually search the goddamn hoard when sending PMs.
 
Going to get on my high dragon (horse) here. I had attempted to come back because I caught wind of the dark mode and I realized just how little they have done since the site opened in 2013. I dont understand at all what they have been doing all these years and I can see not a single promise has been complete.

I think I had been on hiatus for 6 years now?
- No pvp
- No updated battle system
- No new battle modes
- No PROPER rebalance (the last one was shit and elims are still king and over priced)
- The worst dark mode launch I have seen on ANY game or site or sim
- 0 new ACTUAL features (repeating putting items in and getting an item out is not a new feature)
- No new fair ground games
- Impossible to complete beastiary due to a donation one that can no longer even be bought, sprites, and boolean
- Features and modes not matching looks across pages (and I dont mean colors, I mean buttons, options, and filters)
- Inability to mass delete forum posts
- The layout changes sizes from page to page
- No Select ALL to move dragons out of/into den
- No way to search DMs
- No notification sound
- No autoupdate on the notification (I have to constantly refresh)
- No on-layout bookmark option
- No proper auction system built in
- Same people still keep winning the skin/accent contests
- Limited number of dragon slots; when I play another game that has literally unlimited amount of slots
- The grand exchange is confusing as FUCK
- I still to this DAY click on the Trading Post to do trades when it has nothing to do with trades
- Why isn't there a "same dig" in the digsite and it makes me have to manually scroll all the way to the bottom of the page every time to click the same button over and over
- Why cant I hover over an item and it tell me the lowest AH price
- Why cant my active dragon take me/others to that dragon instead of my profile
- Why cant we have an auto-save on bio editing as an option
- Why are dominance activites still manual forum topics and not built in features
- Why is the auction house called the auction house when its just a shop
- Why is this whole game based on FOMO
- Forgetting what items are turned into which mats because for some reason they cant just put a chart on the page and they make people wiki it or use an extension
- Stocking the AH (shop) is the worst I have seen on any pet sim
- Cashshop items being expensive af, gems keep going up too
- The same damn header banner since the dawning of time
- Why cant I click on familiars in the damn hibernal den, im not feeding all those fucks
- Why isnt there a "remove all" to take EVERYTHING off the dragon
- Why isnt there a "remove all familiar" when selecting dragons
- Why can we only get inventory crate once a month and why is it so expensive when its just a glorified loot box
- Why cant they just cycle the old damn items back in, I have literal mobile games that are more kind than FR and have ALL the items from past events return each year for those events proper
- Why cant we have more nest
- Why are the nests real time and to speed it up it costs fucking gems
- Why does everything have to be politically correct, they killed the beastclan lore FOR WHAT

:stress:
Oh right, they need the ad revanue on top of the whales.

Pick your poison topic.
