I'll admit, I'm not much of a fan of petsites, I lose interest in committing to repetitive actions for little reward while essentially doing chores for static JPEGS of animals, however there is one that I have actually been enamored with playing for upwards of 6 years now is called Flight Rising, where you can raise, breed, dress, and throw dragons into a coliseum. Despite how par for the course it sounds for a site like this I can assure you it is a lot more... Actually, I'm not here to give an entire overview of this site, I'm here to yap about its yearly event and the inability to dress a subset of dragons on the site. Unfortunately I cannot place images on this post because they keep breaking when I place them in... SO I've placed links throughout to show off what on earth I am speaking about
Night of the Nocturne was first released along with the Nocturne breed, which are these beautifully batty looking dragons; with this event, everyone and their mother (including mine) hop on daily to pet every single familiar and dredge through the coliseum they own in hopes of getting chests full of delightfully spooky goodies such as haunted mimics and haunting apparel!
I am simply not good at the coliseum, and when I see people with entire guides full of complex mathematical calculations and keybinds and wrist stretches and it confounds me just how in-depth it all is when the most I do is scratch and slash at any monster I see first.
Ancient Breeds are a part of the site that feels very new, most likely due to them releasing a new Ancient just this year, but they've been part of the site since 2020 with the release of the Gaolers (I know their name is pronounced Jailers but c'mon... Gae-lore sounds cooler). Each breed comes with their own specific well-thought-out lore and backstories... None of which I've read with the exception of the Banescales and the haunting notes of their song being the first hint of their release on the site.
My topic of conflict with these Ancient Breeds (Aside from a few of them looking over-designed and cluttered with their genes) is that I cannot dress them, an ability which is one of the largest draws to the site for me. I understand creating an entirely new index and figuring outfits that would even be able to be worn by every ancient breed with their incredibly varied features and limbs would be a nightmare but there has also been apparel that doesn't conflict with Modern Breeds outlines, such as the halos, elemental emblems and flower petal rainfalls. IDK... I just wanna put a hat on my Mr. Lunt dragon, he deserves it... As a treat.
oh ok this image didnt break yay!
