Soaring Skies - Dragon Q&A!

Image
Well, we had to do something badass to start off 2021, no?

As a start to a new Youtube channel for Standing Trials, which will feature a lot of Q&A's, some interviews about new creations and locations, and overall a platform to bring you guys new and exciting stuff - we are doing a Q&A about the winged scaley bois themselves.

So grab your popcorn and ask all the questions you can think of for the future of Dragons! We'll be keeping answers both informative and vague, so we can aim to answers all the questions asked without taking two hours of watch time :D

On the 22nd of January I'll lock this thread and we'll start the recording, so get those questions in! Look forward to seeing what you all ask 8-)

Re: Soaring Skies - Dragon Q&A!

1) You've already mentioned that Dragons will be available after a cumulative 2500 skill points, but are there any other restrictions on who can become a dragon buddy (aside from the personality of the dragon in question)? Magic, marks, revelation, other?

2) Will you only release dragons once you've finished all the ones you have planned, or do you plan to start rolling them out as you go along?

3) Are dragons mobile? That is, will there be specific locations associated with them, or will they do like immortals and wander around?

4) How will dragons get along with immortals who they share domains with?

5) Pocket.... dragon.... bls info. How cuddle-able are they? Can you smooch them on their tiny lil heads?

Let's play 'What's Weird About Prae'

Head

  • A fiery rune shines under his right eye
  • A firey glow in the back of his mouth

Arms

  • A ring of blue runes floats over each of Prae's wrists
  • A silver shield marks the back of his right hand
  • A ring of light around his left forearm

Misc

  • His tail is about eight feet long, usually knotted around his waist
  • His body temperature is uncomfortably high

Surroundings

  • Wind gusts with every step he takes
  • The area around him is slightly more static-y than normal

2. How exactly does one get a cute, cuddly pocket dragon friend?

Re: Soaring Skies - Dragon Q&A!

Re: Soaring Skies - Dragon Q&A!

1. One of the announcements mentions dragon plots being available to new PCs and players, but dragon effigies are Tier 2. Does that mean that players might have dragon-related plots, but just be unable to be "marked" by the dragons involved? Do you need to be Tier 2 to get a dragonling and/or a pocket dragon?

2. One of the announcements mentions that dragonlings can get more powers. How do they do this? Is it related to a player's leveling in an effigy, or is it unrelated to that?

3. Do pocket dragons level? How are pocket dragons related to dragons and dragonlings?

4. How do effigies level? Are they leveled the same way Tier 2 skills are leveled?

5. Frosvinndur was located beyond the Barriers. Are all dragons beyond the Barriers?

6. Do effigies work beyond the Barriers?

7. Would a dragon or an immortal win in a fight 1v1?

8. If you meet a dragon and the first date goes well, and they give you a dragonling and/or a pocket dragon, but then the second date doesn't go so well, or the third, and you part ways... do you have to give back the dragonling and/or pocket dragon?

9. Dragonborn???

Re: Soaring Skies - Dragon Q&A!

1. Will effigy's changes on a character result in 'always on' physical cosmetic changes to the character?

2. Will players be able to interact with the dragon that chose them for an effigy?

3. How is the relaionship tended to be defined with a dragon? Is it like a partnership, a religion, a master/servant relationship? Does it differ based on the dragon?

4. Can a dragon allow mortalborn and mages to travel extensively beyond the barriers?

Re: Soaring Skies - Dragon Q&A!

1. How many Dragon eggs does it take to break the world record for the largest Omelette on Idalos?

2. What's the air speed velocity of an unladen dragon?

3. How rare are Dragon encounters?

4. Dragons have probably been the longest in the works of any lore on ST. Why do you think everyone likes Dragons so much? What, in your view, is their appeal?

Oh, and since I'm not around here much: a belated happy new year and best wishes to you all! Let's hope it'll be better than the year that shall not be named :P

Re: Soaring Skies - Dragon Q&A!

Will there be different kinds of pocket/teacup dragons? Not just ones from different dragons, but ones with varying levels of intelligence that can be pets/companions/etc.?
