Just scrolling through and doing half committed grumbles of agreement, until I read this. "because my critter STILL hasn’t been made yet!" Which also reminds me of the below link, a page that the admins used to have on parts of the site but disappeared a few years ago. I'm now canning my hopeful optimism that it was just left and forgotten to be marked off. http://flightrising.com/ks_designer.html

... Well... that got longer than I expected

What on god’s name is taking the admins so long to come up some kind of useable additions to the coli or gameplay that isn’t “Click > Receive.“  And don’t give me crap about "strategy” there is no strategy in this game. Go to forum, pick the build you want, set your stats and click > recieve > repeat. The only strategy is avoiding giving yourself carpal tunnel syndrome while grinding for treasure.

I play Stardew Valley, it’s a damn indie 10-bit pixel game and somehow it has managed to keep me so engaged that I’ve happily planned virtual growing seasons, RL weeks in advance, for more than 2 years.  And it’s, at its core, the most fucking repetitive grinding piece of crap game that I love.

1 guy, one SINGLE guy,  made the entire game by himself over 4 years.

And you’re telling me the FR team,  1)  who had a successful Kickstarter, 2) who have multiple paid coders, 3) who have multiple paid artists, 4) are rolling in constant gem and advertiser income money (because *I* haven’t forgotten that Akiri bought himself a house from the second year earnings of the game!) 5) Basically promised Adventure Mode “soon” after the game opened 6) and have had over 6 years yet still haven’t come up with a damned thing.  

And if they do come up with something, they’re so shit about taking the temperature of their player base I can already promise you it’s going to royally suck and fuck up everyone’s day (*cough*The Fucking Eyes*cough* The eyestraining, flow-breaking Coli Captchas*cough*The Fucking shitty apparel/gene art that has errors that have existed for literal YEARS!).

Or it’s going to be introduced and mean absolutely nothing in the overall game. Remember the FR world lore about the gods at war, went nowhere. The Shade, went nowhere (what Shade? he’s not even a thing except where it’s convenient [don’t give me that Gaoler lore crap, because that means that all our Clan dragons are totally contaminated by Shade, the dragons created by the Gods specifically to fight the Shade, are infected by Shade, what malware program do the gods run, Fuckin’ Windows Defender, jeeze?).  Remember the war we’re supposed to be having with the Beastclans, that evaporated.  What is dragon time even like for beastclan?  How do they even “drive out” dragons.  I kinda doubt a pointy stick would make Godzilla move, and that’s the level of weapons Beastclans have with out OP dragon clans. 

I mean there’s so many opportunities to flesh this stupid game out, but every time you turn around the admins just throw some last-minute crap together and don’t even have the sense to test it all first.  I still don’t understand how layering issues in apparel even happen.  Don’t they have to draw each article on? Wouldn’t they see there that they’re overlapping? Don’t they even bother to look at shit and do even a basic quality control before they press “Send” and inflict it on their golden geese. 

At this rate…. Though I’m starting to completely regret giving them KS backing (because my critter STILL hasn’t been made yet!) I bet if they ever do get an adventure mode thing.  It’s going to be some kind of new grindfest that adds all of 4 autogenerated textboxes, while fucking up everyone who might want to sell adventure loot by making it account locked or some crap like their plan for PVP.  

God, why don’t they just make some sort of pixel-based adventure game.  They make free adventure game makers for the lulz, just use one of those for something and reskin it afterwards. Or open your code up and let some of your actually talented players make all the features and QoL and game updates (that skin tester you blacklist, that item encyclopedia you hate so much, that other user that made an random outfit generator, Fayd’s Exalt Idea) that would actually put some flavor in this lukewarm wet fart you call a game.

(I actually feel a bit better for finally saying that. Now I’m off to go play more Stardew Valley, where the gathering system actually works.)
