i don't think it is sociable at all

#

it doesn't make sense if soloable

#

Yeah. I stopped playing because there's nothing to do atm. Lol nesting does not do it for me and currently there's nothing more to explore. So I will wait for more prominent updates.

ive been reacking my brain all day for dragony things but the only things i can think of is things we've all tried

lucid blaze
#

maybe it's been implemented, but not activated or something xD

has anyone tried collecting a lot of bugs in 5 mins (thats the despawn timer i think) and putting them in one spot? Ik theyre kinda campable but im out of ideas

rapid radish

I think I saw a screenshot of this at some point 😅

Well, by we i mean you guys. I gave up on like day 3

#

There's a first step that unlocks the eldering process, but how do we know if its unlocked? What if someone has already unlocked it and just doesn't know it xD

rapid radish
#

That is the question I'm gonna ask Jao, if he come to this chat again :p

tough urchin
#

Smart, it would be weird if there wasnt any sign that proves youve unlocked it :3

#

I have heard that the elder system is in the game, but it's not activated. According to data-miners.

#

Those who have hit elder, don't get their elder mutation points. Has this been confirmed/debunked?

rapid radish
#

they have, it just have taken them one more elder tick, bc of hidden decimals

carmine ivy
rapid radish
#

it does

carmine ivy
#

I think that's how the eldering is meant to work, according to admins you hit 25% elder you get 4th point.

#

Oh, well folks may be cappin' on my server then, that's... refreshing...

rapid radish
#

but I mean with hidden decimals, that although the game shows 25%, it can be something like 24.96% in reality

#

you get 1 point every 25% elder growth

tall fossil
#

I think if you had 24.9999 it would still show up as 24

I'm just so hung up on this first step and fresh out of ideas 😅

No why didnt u add a message like gives us a hint

Edit your message

It’s like asking dad for 5 dollars

Ask and ye shall receive.
First step to unlock Elder is to naturally grow to Elder

slender arrow
#

I new

#

It

#

I freaken new it

balmy moss
#

Thank you rhino!!

pliant yoke
#

Ah hell nah

#

Thats gonna take long

slender arrow
#

Someone screenshot that I’m gonna hang it on my wall

pliant yoke
#

But tysm for the hint rhino

balmy moss
#

But now we know. No doubts

slender arrow
pliant yoke
#

We still dont know if elder unlocks for every species then or only for that one

balmy moss
#

All the hints lead to it, but I didn't want to believe. I will say that I was wrong. I just was doubtful about reaching elder.

summer arch
#

I will say it

#

I told you guys

pliant yoke
#

Yea atleast we know

#

Cus u were so brave

slender arrow
#

Everyone told me I was wrong I freaken new that was the way

pliant yoke
#

And pinged him lmao

slender arrow
#

I told everyone on here

pliant yoke
#

Pinging rhino is always a risk

slender arrow
#

Nah dude is cool like that

balmy moss
#

But the theory is not over. We still need to figure out the process. Best of luck everyone!!

slender arrow
#

I don’t recommend pinging him alot but

#

Yeah

balmy moss
#

@rough root

#

I really hope it changes with Blitz. Logging once a day for months is painfully not worth grinding . I really didnt think that would be it

slender arrow
#

Telling everyone on this

#

That the first step is eldering

pliant yoke
#

But what are the next steps.

balmy moss
rough root
somber shuttle
#

Is it only eldering one species to unlock active eldering?

slender arrow
#

The hint was just to easy

#

Become that what you seek

slender arrow
#

Become elder

pliant yoke
#

Yea how did we not get it

rough root
#

Mate we've been on that for a long time. We were all right.

balmy moss
#

Tbh the time-frame threw alot of people off

summer arch
#

i didnt lmao

#

my whole clan is passive eldering ever since that hint

pliant yoke
#

Probs next thing is u grow normally

rough root
#

It's even in the docs that one of the ongoing theories was to hit elder.

somber shuttle
#

I spent weeks exploring the entire map to look for some cool eldering method...

#

At least most of my dragons are almost there anyway lol

rough root
#

Didn't however stop us from trying out other things.

pliant yoke
jagged stone
#

who guessed the first step? 🤚

somber shuttle
#

Right but some sort of action or series of actions, I tried all the things XD So many hours

slender arrow
#

I been saying to everyone

#

Read the hint

#

Become that what you seek

jagged stone
#

the first step is always the hardest one to take

pliant yoke
#

So that means the next ones are easier

balmy moss
#

More like horsepill lol

slender arrow
#

It’s fair it takes long time but it makes it so

pliant yoke
#

Can we get any hints on the next steps?

slender arrow
#

Not everyone has elder right away at least for PvP it’s good

balmy moss
#

I'm fine with it

rough root
#

Actually Rusty. You were late

pliant yoke
#

Anything we have to look out for?

rough root
#

A lot of us in here thought that hitting elder was first

slender arrow

slender arrow

Thats gonna take a lot of time

rough root

I think it was your attitude dear. But... most of us in here believed it.

pliant yoke
#

Might even sacrifice mine

slender arrow
pliant yoke
#

Once i have one

rough root
#

As soon as the hint came out we literally said "So... Elder?:

somber shuttle
#

I just thought It was going to be more gameplay related, and not just logging in for months. I didnt count it out, but I was hoping that wasnt it lol

slender arrow
#

Don’t remember ever seeing you say anything on here about it

balmy moss
#

Asd is the fastest. So how long for it?

rough root
#

I write the docs.

#

It's been a theory since the hint came out.

tall fossil
#

and will it work per species or server

pliant yoke
slender arrow
#

Everyone here keep saying no it’s not lol 😂

#

That’s why I was arguing with everyone lol 😂

rough root
#

There are plenty on here, including me who has voiced the idea it could be it. However I have not hoped it would be.

tall fossil
#

i scanned the whole chat a while ago (yes im crazy) and a lot of people, inlcuding me, thought it was growing to elder

#

we just didnt wanna believe it

rough root
#

Precisely.

#

There's a big difference xD

upbeat igloo
#

I’m sorry but I am smiling at how obvious it was lmao
I was growing my derg to elder to see if that was it and boom. It is.

rough root
#

We have also been encouraging those who reached elder, to look for anything.

slender arrow
#

It’s all good tho

#

He told us the first step

#

So we don’t need to debate the first step

#

Let’s talk about the following steps

rough root
#

No. Nor who found it out. A lot of us did.

tall fossil
#

most of us were on the same page

but some of us were in denial

rough root
#

Some were, yes.

rapid belfry
#

Wait we got told?

tall fossil
#

yea

rough root
#

We got told one of our theories were correct

rapid belfry
#

WOW

#

BULL

pliant yoke
#

Tbh the most legendary person here rn is @civic merlin

summer arch
#

My guy rusty is a believer

pliant yoke
#

Who asked for a hint

rough root
#

And apologies, I am big believer in being just. And seeing one person claim right tends to make my blood boil.

#

ANYWAY

summer arch
#

He has been religiously passive eldering all his dragons ever since that hint

rough root
#

Do. One of our three ongoing theories were right.

slender arrow
rough root
#

SourPatch forever.

pliant yoke
#

They even said they spun themself first

rough root
#

A few in here has.

tall fossil
#

the eldering doc needs an update

rough root
#

Though. With all the elders we have in here, we sadly do not know what NOW happens.

balmy moss
#

Just wow

rough root
#

I have written it out. And in the docs. So unless they were deleted? Nah.

rapid belfry
#

Bro all it took was pinging him

somber shuttle
#

Sadly it takes out the desire to explore the map and play like a dragon... Its just logging/growing sim 😭 I was hoping once we found it the servers would fill back up. Ive been playing solo for weeks cause my clan stopped playing

jagged stone
#

I will also add that if you admin grow to juvi/adult then try to passive elder, it won't work

rough root
#

Indeed

rapid belfry
#

Ohhhhhh

rapid belfry
#

So if you hit elder naturally then after itll unlock the second step?

balmy moss
#

Good.

Okay thats so true, but cant we just go on a 2x boosted server and grow asd?

rough root

And... I'm sorry. But we have completed the first step but are still going HUH with the next step

rapid belfry

Yeahhhhhhh

#

This^^

Well the goal was definitely to make elders more rare

Prepare for more insanity dears.

Is there confirmed to be a next step? What could a next step be if youve reached eldered, youre done, youre an elder now GooseWheeze

do we even have to kill them?

pliant yoke
balmy moss
pliant yoke
#

Be quiet guys, the god of dragons is typing

tall fossil
#

does it unlock per species?

jagged stone
#

I'm honestly paying close attention to that, on one hand I removed camping and made it available to everyone, on the other I made them more rare like in Lore, but I also have to keep in mind the time commitment and that some people will not even bother with endgame if it takes too much time. So I may tweak the system to try to keep it rareish, keep it from being camped, but also make it more accessible to casual gamers who can't play as much.

rough root
#

I want to just say.... team effort on finding this out you all who have participated in this and the theory crafting. I'm proud of ya'll (especially the ones who have actively been aiding in the journey, you know who you are)

Just here to have people bounce ideas off of me

I'll sacrifice my elder for yall once i grew one (itll never happen because itd take ages)

#

Smiff don’t worry buddy you’ll be a dragon again soon

I play 6+ hours a day. I just am working when the first tick rolls around.

I dont think we should ping him too often

And believe you all me, the docs shall be updated (once I get home from work. Train writing on phone)

Actually smiff you’re not a brick wall anymore turn back

if you can just do passiv ticks, you removed 80% of the pvp out of the game

rapid belfry
#

Yeah cause if people suddenly dive into sacrificing elders the first step will be redone all over again

I do like me tuna salad, great choice

Yeah you and the team did awesome!!!

Can we get this one answer jao? So we don’t have to restart? Is it unaliving our elders..?

I'm still of the belief that hitting elder makes a more active method available on your other dragons (including your elder if it dies)

Yes can someone pls sacrifice an elder

Noone has tried looking on their other dragons, only on their elder or with an elder so far.

the reason why me and rusty believed it was passive is based on previous unlock system like the mela

and like active play time not just logging in once and then go again

somber shuttle
#

I was hoping for either an NPC spawn, maybe some sort of boss. Or a series of actions that would maybe spawn something, could even be a client side spawn so nobody else can see it/ camp it

rapid radish
#

Well maybe those are the next steps? 😅

fast geyser
#

would also be cool since clans on pvp would also more focus on some species since they fit to their teritorry

somber shuttle
#

Or active play. A certain distance traveled, or damage amount done to proc a tic

rough root
#

Quite so

somber shuttle
#

We will see once we know what to do with our passive elders

rough root
#

Indeed so. We have already been trying and ruling out a few things with them, especially thanks to Serious.

finite onyx
rough root
#

A good thing he said he is considering tweaking it then.

#

Well. Now we continue with what we were already doing.

rapid radish
#

Yeah, the second step 😄 Is it sacrificing your elder or something else 😄

rough root
#

Species specific unlock or nah xD

rapid radish
#

I hope it's "nah" xD

slender arrow
# finite onyx Something that not require logging in 50 days into the game xd

Think about Legacy for a second back in Legacy. It was so easy to elder that you could do it within 28 hours if you were efficient everyone had elder it was so bad that people in my clan with elder Alabama babies just for fun Becoming something so strong should be a grinding process because a good player with an elder could turn the tide of a battle at least for PVP so elder should be a rare thing if you manage to reach Elder amongst all the fighting then you deserve it but I don’t think it should be an easy thing at least for PVP

rough root
#

I'm just glad that we were right with one of our earliest theories. Who knows if the others are right too, just different steps.

finite onyx
# slender arrow Think about Legacy for a second back in Legacy. It was so easy to elder that you...

eThen now imagine that big clans on us where every single person have 5 alt accounts is gona passive tick it and not fighting with all the dragosn until they get to elder. At some point at the same time they get 4 elders xd. If peopel are motivated enaught and start to passive tick everything at the same time, at some point they get all the elders at the same day. Then how you wanna push out clan like that ?

balmy moss
#

Now question is when you reach passive elder. Is that dragon locked. Meaning you can't replace it or you will lock the process?

i have 18 accounts, they all will be elder at the same time, this makes nearly 100, at this point i dont cave if 30 die lol

Solo pvp server, so getting an elder passively? LMAO nice joke

Is that per dragon?

Each dragon has their own timer

So log into fs, get tick, log out, into IR, get tick, out, repeat for SS and ASD, then wait 12h

Ah okay understood thanks guyss

I’ve lost 3 asd elder progs I’d prolly be elder by now if I would just stop being so bitey

#

Now has one of the lovely elders uhhhhh committed to the ultimate plunge and yeeted the dragon?

#

To see if doing the various other methods makes their eldering faster?

arctic scarab
#

so when we hit an elder, and later die, we keep that 1st step on the account at specific dragon ?

turbid prawn
#

I don’t mind them not testing that part until we exhausted the mela method where one eldering unlocks step 2 for the entire account

slender arrow
turbid prawn
#

Yeah XD

#

We can go back to some of the more likely theories that we had early on and have the current eldered players test them out on their non elders

arctic scarab
#

i think if u for exemple hit an elder on asd u unlock the 1st step, later when ur asd elder die, u have already unlocked the elder progress, the faster way and u must find how to do it.

dusk ravine
#

Don't worry after you spend 1 month eldering by ticks and you kill that dragon off you can grow to adult to find out new elder system. Which will be ticking every 10hours instead of 12 🙂

arctic scarab

and its just for asd

#

i think we must elder every dragon passive

to unlock 1st step on every dragon

This method is fine for PVE players but it is asking PVP players to just not play for a solid month or two

I wouldnt call it us vs them, Its just true that pvp players will have a harder time reaching natural elder, even just reaching adult on pvp servers can be difficult at times

#

I'm still going off of what i heard about it being sinilar to Star Wars Galxies. Once Elder is unlocked you can start as an Elder if you die. In STW once force sensitivity was unlocked it unlocked for character creation.

fading canyon
#

The only issue i have with STW is that it only unlocked one force sensitive slot

dusk ravine
#

@bleak python It's actualy very easy to get even on PVP but you just cant play the game, logging on for ticks and logging off is very easy and safe. But if you want to play your dragon than you will most likely lose all your progress before elder.

fading canyon
#

so does that mean we will have to naturally elder each species seperately to unlock elder? or will it be like mela

That’s the current debate

#

We need passive elders testing things on their other dragons

And then if nothing happens…… we need a passive elder to take the plunge

Why not making two ways for elder? I mean there was a long time the theory about orbs that randomly spawn that would be an good idea you give pvp an active part . You want elders to be rare but when everz clan gate keeps there eledes until they got a bunch it brings nothing it actually make it more easy to collect all this else's because you don't need to risk you prog in anyway. That's the point that makes elder special in pvp. You was fighting for them it was an adrenaline kick to go out with an high prog. Do maybe giving you community a way to decide how they wanna elder and also reward the people who risk there peog by faster eldering would be an nice idea

rapid radish
#

Fair xD

torn peak
#

So after naturally elder grow what priorities you get on other non elder dragos ?

#

just a small growed % on daily ticks ?

mint tulip
#

Cool so second I get to Elder if we haven't figured it out I'm killing my ASD

#

Glad we know the first step is getting to Elder via passive tics

fading canyon
#

My hope would be is that once you do it, if its non campable and soloable, that your next dragon would actively elder by just growing normally to elder without a time limit on passive ticks, but maybe the normal growth ticks are in 5 to 10min intervals instead of the normal 1 to 2

signal lintel
# sinful haven Why not making two ways for elder? I mean there was a long time the theory a...

Rn the first step for eldering seems for pve lol. Yeah elders will be rare to have at some point because not everybody’s gonna passive tick to one but you also can’t just go around killing progs? People are gonna look for a safe spot and log in once or twice a day for 1 and half a minute.. Eldering in pvp for me is fighting about something or at least having to look for something. Which may come after the first step but this alone takes a long time for people 🤔
So u can’t fight each other at all and kill other’s progs which makes it so easy because it’s the first and basically only step for the people that haven’t done it yet

#

Though I’m pretty curious about how it works afterwards, if ur gonna have to kill off the elders to elder the new way again or if it actives it for every species idk, I hope it’ll be a bit more interesting for pvp

#

it makes the elders rare but it doesn’t give the players a challenge until after the 1st step which takes a long time already

sinful haven
#

Also remember abot that people that just have 1 account they can not even play the game anymore because losing this high passive tick would just hurt💔

fading canyon
#

I think regardless of the amount of accounts, losing any high passive ticked dragon would suck a lot

#

I am curious to see what we need to do after we passive elder, or if it is legit just, respawn/renest in and start growing again

signal lintel

#

Or that for logging in for that many consecutive days would be more rewarding for active eldering, and not just lowering the time between passive ticks

Ohhh and don't forget the upstate part where the 4point is important since we missing the nurs dragon that is important for the new system. Just passiv ticking to make 1 good nest and than kill of the dragon because you need the space . Kind of that will kill in the end the motivation from. Everyone and make it frustrating in some way

Its best to just have an asd that you can elder, if we do need to elder each species individually (which would suck) its about roughly 56 days in total for fs and ir (assuming youre getting 2 ticks a day)

A survival game is meant to be hard. This has dragons in it not dinosaurs. It will be x2 as hard with the flight. I'm not disagreeing that he can't do something to be less time consuming and more enjoyable, but in the mean time.

If you want to help upstat, pick a dragon to help upstat, then elder the others

Dont get me wrong, its Extremely Tedious, but its not impossible while still helping to upstat dragons that you want to upstat

“Not impossible “ doesnt mean its fun game design

fading canyon
#

I think its pretty interesting, truthfully. It eliminates the need to fly around searching for hours, Honestly even on the old method on PvE servers it took Maybe slightly less time to do c: a lot of ppl just ended up passive eldering dragons instead anyways

#

But this is also just a temporary thing until questing comes out

pulsar swift
fading canyon
#

Its best to just work with what we have been given instead of finding the negatives in it, its better than eldering not being in the game at all, which ppl wouldve complained about, and all you need to do is log in like twice a day :) its really not that aweful

uneven mason
#

“Not the worst” also doesnt mean “good”

#

Ive said my peace

fading canyon
#

I never said that it was "good" i just said theres no point in looking for the negatives, its just pessimistic and creates more negativity, this method does eliminate camping completely which for pvp server actually might be better, allowing more players a chance at actually reaching elder ^-^

Its goin XD

Gotta passive elder a dragon as the first step c:

so log in twice per 24/hr to get passive ticks to become an elder, when that's done you completed the game 😉

tough urchin

Well we was only given the first step, could be more

If you can i think the best way of doing it is letting a tick pass until its a time that you can wake up and then before you sleep, so for me im prolly gonna try and set it around 11am so its 11am and 11pm for me

I personally like being able to work towards the next step, passive eldering is nice I suppose, but it's kinda lame, I'm a PvE'er so I ofc am also putting myself in a position with little to no content outside of nesting.

It just takes the motivation to actually play the game out. Its just a logging/growing sim. I was really hoping the first step would be more... involved. Or challenging to the player

chrome yarrow

yeah, its not unfair or bad system...its just boring. My problem is that iit actively stops you from playing the game in case you lose your dragon.

well it won't be as bad once there is more to the game other then just bugs to eat and other dragons

fading canyon
#

Understandable, but luckily this way is supposed to be only temporary until questing comes out later on in this year or early next year. it was probably the only thing jao could come up with that fit the community wanting it to be uncampable, and his idea of there being less elders, and it being more (slightly) dragony

#

Like devina said, it wont be as bad once more content is added into the game

mint tulip
#

the issue I atleast encounter is the very tight amount of food and the only real interactions I can have is bug or dragon

even so, when quests come out, wouldn't that just be collect 10 of X or kill 10 of X grow X amount?

I think after blitz is out, elementals are next. but Pve players are gonna be kind of out of content for awhile

mint tulip

won't they beable to fight elementals?

PvE is player vs enviornment

So there is no pvp in pve at all, youd have to enable pvp to fight elementals i believe

And even if that is the actual first step I'd rather spend my time practising each dragon and actually playing the game to just be good enough to not depend on the tiny elder buff than log in for a few minutes twice daily for months

The thing is, if you need to grow a dragon to elder via passive ticks to unlock the active method then it actualy punishes you for playing the game in an active way. If you play like intended it is super easy to die but if you log in twice a day for 2 min to get your tick and then log off again you get rewarded for not playing.

This is currently just as bad as the Jedi AFK meta in SWG Resto lol (AFKing to negate a gameplay loop)

#

Why participate in the gameplay loop when you can cheese it by logging in for 2 minutes a day.

Rhino seemed well aware of the drawbacks and mentioned already considering changing it, trying to keep Elders rare, but make it accessible to casual players who don't want to commit to first step.

I hope he does, currenlty the way rewards the people not playing the game. It should be the other way around. There should be only an active method but if you do something special you can unlock passive ticks for your dragon to help it go faster. ENCOURAGE people to play the game and not the opposite by logging in twice a day and that's it.

I dont understand the whole gatekeepy way of thinking of elders being ‘rare’ if theyre also supposed to be ‘end-game’

balmy moss
#

Hmm

uneven mason
#

We already have difficult to obtain creatures coming like elementals and the hybrid

balmy moss

It's a sense of accomplishment

My assumption would be, going back to that comparison he made during that one Q&A, he sees them like the Jedi in SWG; lore-wise, they're supposed to be rare. Gameplay-wise they'd also be relatively rare. They're stronger than normal folks.

Its a work in progress. Rhino said so himself. He plans on changing it and taking into the fact of players that don't play as much

#

Why are we still stuck on this.

I'd rather be rewarded for hard work, than just passive growth, it feels bad xD

Not really, you had to work towards it.

what is ‘endgame’ in that case?

Its a bit difficult with SWG because the crux of the Jedi experience is being hunted by bounty hunters haha

balmy moss
#

That's what he plans on doing. So he's working on it. Boom mic drop

I would rather have someone camp my dragonbutt than having to passiv elder for 1+ months cat_cri

#

Yeah, it turns into a PVP game.

uneven mason
#

So its not really ‘end game’ for normal players

#

Im trying to see the comparison being made but even there the game becomes different than a non-jedi’s ‘end game’

Well guys lets hope 1.1 is gonna come soon and with it a change to the elder system KEKL

lucid blaze
#

the social part is that it's on a server with other people, and then the Solo able part is it's passive ticks 😉

I see the reasons I quit talking here are still prevalent. Gonna go back to ignoring this channel again until the next hint.

So first step is to elder passively, now we need hhints for the step after lmao

turbid copper
#

Well, a dragon would naturally grow to old age sooo

worthy python
#

My question is after thr passive ticks, will you have the elder buffs or is it just it gets bigger? Then after the next steps you get thr buffs orrrr

#

I don’t care if it’s passive ticks or another ways just make it so it’s hard to get so we don’t end up with 40v40 elders wars that was my point that I was trying to make

i am, but ive already gotten warned about it before

here's an idea: They removed active eldering :)

#

yeh i saw

we're not supposed to tag when they're not active, when replying turn @ mention off

what do they mean with first step
like. its not a step when u literally have to grow to elder passively which is taking months...and u wanna say after these months there is more?

#

Imagine locking eldering for those who grew to juvi/adult via admin because that's "cheating" when admin panel is there for a reason, and private servers often have more online than official servers, so to just slap them in the face like that will do no good to you
Also what about grows on official servers?
That's so dumb

#

Enjoy even more online drops lol

kind wedge
#

i thought its an actual mechanic. not just a time waste...

tired spruce
#

Also devs over there trying to fight changing files, but their "3 step security" is legit only changing steam id to files from numbers to @%%@182, and by making elder system as stupid as it is right now, people will be even more encouraged to get elders via files

kind wedge
#

also what if u play on a rules server but lose your dragon to a rulebreak? u cant be regrown and lose all your progress?

#

There are 3 steps to actively Elder, I gave you all the first step. And it is an actual mechanic, not a waste of time.

kind wedge
#

sorry rhino no disrespect

#

so theres 3 ways of getting it
the passive is just one?

tired spruce
#

It's a waste of time when compared to previous one

mint tulip
#

no there is two ways to get to it

#

one is passive

languid spoke
#

3 steps

kind wedge
#

is ot 3 ways. or 3 steps

#

bc 3 steps mean grow passive, then 2 more things, then be elder

languid spoke
#

steps

mint tulip
#

3 steps to do the second one which is actives

maiden island
#

steps he said steps lol

languid spoke
#

a 3 step process

mint tulip
#

which I am personally thinking means ya gotta get to elder die then try and get to adult again to figure out step 2 and 3

kind wedge
#

how are u supposed to find it out
it was obvious that passive time ticks are a method
but how can reaching elder on passives be the first step of a 3 step thing if u allready grow to elder by the passive as step 1...

kind wedge
astral fog
#

what if growing passive elder on one dragon, just means you can active elder on the others after you finish passive eldering 👀

kind wedge
#

dont think its that easy 🙂

mint tulip
#

it just means your second attempt to elder if your first elder dies will be easier dude

#

just gotta figure out what step 2 and 3 are
