I can see this being kind of unbalancing, plus it seems rather against the spirit of the game - I for one certainly wouldn't take a horse on a lift to explore underground caverns, you know? Pets would effectively be permanent versions of the already extant Mecha Knights, which would be more in keeping with SK's atmosphere but, again, rather unbalancing.

Yeah...
I like the idea of pets and mounts but I honestly feel they shouldn't be used in battle, thats just another thing you would have to worry about reviving with ur own health to have it maybe do minimal damage to an enemy. If they do put them in at some point I would like it to be more of a character customizable thing. Like maybe we could craft a range of different pets or mounts using mats or minerals we collect in the clockworks, and only be used when walking around haven. Like a bonus :D

Pets are not a bad idea.
Pets are not a bad idea. It's always nice to have a little companion, combat-capable or not. Here's an idea that would fit within the game style: Raising and evolving Snipes to compete in various events, like the Chaos of Sonic Adventure 2. Feed them minerals from the Clockworks to raise their stats and then have them race/fight/whatever.
But mounts? Let's be honest, how much travelling do we acctually do? There's just no point to having a mount besides "because WoW did it, and everyone copies WoW".

lol i like the idea of Pets
Maybe like underpowered pets or something. You could feed them(Minerals) , make them compete, and make them equipable! Imagine having a mini floating cat around you that gives you a low bonus to fiends or something, or you occasionally shoot tiny dark balls at enemies that does like decent damage depending on how much it likes you etc. Tho mounts in my opinion is... to WoW this is Spiral Knights lol. Total bump for the guy above me.

Actually, I quite like the idea of (purely cosmetic) pets following you around dungeons! It'd be another good Cr sink that wouldn't alter the game in any practical sense.

I could kind of see Mounts to
I could kind of see Mounts to the extent you'd see in like, a Golden Axe game, y'know? Something like a temporary power-up that does its own little attacks automatically while you continue to do yours riding on its back. They'd probably only last long enough for a single prolonged fight once activated, and be summoned via a pick-up item or just found placed somewhere randomly in the map, waiting for the player to hop on (after paying a small energy fee for the privelage, of course.)
I'm just imagining a player stomping around on top of a giant, tamed wolver that takes a bite at any animal they steer it into, while they're blasting away at monsters they pass with their antigua. :D
Edit: Also, purely cosmetic pets are totally boring and pointless. I'd like to see ones that do something. How about a system where the pet starts off each dungeon level passively, and as you collect heat the pet slowly "awakens" and then at a certain point activates fully and starts doing something semi-useful, which would vary from pet to pet? If you die, or at the beginning of the next dungeon level, the pet would revert back to passive mode and you'd have to collect more heat to wake it up.
The effects they'd do could vary from very weak attacks to supplement your own, to more utilitarian things like providing a small boost to crowns found or pointing out bushes/grass clumps/whatever guarunteed to have something in them)

This isnt WOW and mounts are pointless the world is to small for that stuff
pets maybe a good Idea but probably would just cause lag
we should try to stay away from turning Spiral knights into WOW

i'm not sure
I'm confused about where people need to "go faster" that would warrant having mounts. Is it traveling from the arcade to townsquare that takes too long? Or do you want to run thru dungeon levels quicker? The former seems unnecessary and the latter seems counterproductive. I believe the time of duration it takes to complete a floor is "working as intended".
I mean, in WoW mounts made a lot of sense. In spiral knights it would require a rebalancing of dungeon lengths, which would require a rebalancing of total number of mobs which would require a rebalancing of how much cr/mats each mob drops...idk. I don't want it.
But, this is the suggestion thread, so...
that's just my opinion.
Good luck
:)

Nope, this is just a bad idea. I can see no purpose for mounts in the game, and as for pets, they should improve further on the core gameplay before they add stuff like that. If you want AI allies a better idea would be more kinds of Mecha Knights.

i played another game where the pets had a certain range where they could go and pick up far away loots for you.
but the pets would expire after a week and you had to buy a new one.

HEY THIS A GREAT IDEA
Havein mount,s is awsome but the game is way to small to have mounts maby when they expand the game a bit more we should have mounts BUT with the Pets idea i love that havin pets on the game to help you fight it makes it easier so player can get through boss level a bit more easier and i think if they do make pets they should be able to levle up like the swords.I just love the idea

My thoughts.
Implementing Some kind of Pet shop in Haven, where it would sell different kinds of Monsters for crowns(The price would vary from pet to pet), it'd create a crown sink and be cool :3 . If They implemented some kind of house-like system the Pets could go there(Or in your guildhall)or even just follow you around, of course there would have to be /scratch and /pet emotes, which would let you scratch or pet your pet. I would love to have an Ash Tail pet or a Mewkat :3 . Speaking of pet variety, there'd have to be Jelly Cubes, Wolvers, Kats, Silkwings, maybe greavers, perhaps even a gun puppy :D ? I'm thinking the average price of a pet would be 10k(For the "basic" versions of Monsters, like Spookats, Regular wolvers, regular gun puppies, etc)possibly 12.5k for more exotic ones, going up by 2.5k for each more exotic form until hitting 20k, Or, hell, Pets could even have star ratings! Maybe you could even "upgrade" them into their later-tier forms! Like, you'd start with a T1 Wolver, then turn it into T2 and then T3 :3 .

Crown sink?
Do we need a crown sink? Really? Crafting seems to be a crown sink...
I agree that the "pets" that fit the game best are mecha-knights, and they don't seem very helpful at the moment. I love getting killed by my own friendly knight when it "malfunctions" and causes so much shock I get pounded. What might be helpful is something that expands the number of belt slots, so I can have some more variety in potions and pills. One of those irritating moth/fairy things, that could carry just pills, that would be nifty. Though I share the fear some have mentioned, of it being a source of extra lag. The Jelly King levels are bad enough as they are.

no mounts please.
Sorry to those who want mounts, or pets. But the game lags enough without mounts and pets and other things to add one more element to the lagfest. There are no great distances to be covered, or open ranges to explore. I don't really see the need for a mount.

DragonQuest Anyone?
Isnt there a game like that already, where you get "pets" to help you fight? (Dragon Quest) If you need fighting help, you shouldn't go wondering off by yourself in the clockworks alone, especially if your unexperienced. Sure it's a cute little idea to have a "pet" but i say it'd be a cheap rip off of pokemon or dragon quest.
Not only that but, if you are venturing in the clockworks with other players, whats the use of having a "pet" beside you, you have "ACTUAL" people controlling other characters, instead of "NPC's", besides, the mecha-knight is good enough, even if it has the draw back of shocking you. Not only that, but like the two above me, if this idea does come to action, the whole server will lag like crazy, you've seen them all, people running into walls and all of a sudden being logged out.

A big Mech(3x player size) we could "wear" and ride it into battle... Would have devastating knock-back capable machine guns(bullet/laser/fire..) that takes spinning time to start shooting and maybe it could have a heat limit so you couldn't hold the button all the way... should be protected by teammates, as it's weakness would be close combat...

Any pet that can do damage at all, or even knock-back enemies just immediately breaks the game.
It does damage? Easy to just have a setup where you're hiding away safely while your pet does the attacking.
It knocks back? You now have two shield-bounces.
Mounts are useless in Spiral as there isn't much ground to cover to begin with.

how about this
make pets have some value like this

No
It should be a new pet slot and yes pets can have abltites like that but they also do damage BUT ur pet is a living thing to it has health so when it dies it
comes back to life after u go down the elavator and to increese thir health u can equip armour and wepons for instace slimes have those new spikes
that is a wepon.Wat ever kind of stat u like Def Speed Attak Health each one is good at there own skill so what ur fave stat u can have ur have.
If we do get mounts Heres some ideas 1(Tiger) 2(Lion) 3(Slime) 4(Cheater)5(Lynx).dunno wat a lynx is, i just heard it fast.6(Boar) 7(Elephant)

I think pets would add lag to the game I mean there are already enough monsters in T2-3 not to mention the flamethrowers. And mecha knights aren't helpful really. Sorry if i'm a TROLL or if this seems like something they would post I really am not i'm just giving my honest opinion and ppl should be respectful of that.

LOL DANG U BEAT ME TO THE PUNCH
i waz thinking the same think but just nvr posted it i agree with you 100%
Im with this all the way, it would make it easier to get to places and you can have pets like Kats or Skelectons. Or jellies! I has a feeling that you could even MAKE mounts if spiral knights would support it. I mean; Mounts and pets would be helpful. But they would need to be seperate. You can buy a living pet/mount like a wovler or kat. Or you could make a mount like a machine or something. Also you could buy pets to help you in battle or befriend them. But they would need to make a whole new weapon: Pouncer(still working on the name xD). The pouncer has a slight chance of capturing a monster that you've defeated at least 10x. Once you defeat that monster 10x(or that specific monster multiple times) you have a 30% chance let it befriend you for the rest of that level. when it's -Completed- then you COULD keep that monster forever and it would be in your guild hall waiting for you when you leave. Everybody can have there own pet and it would cost around 3k-10k for a pet and/or mount. As I said I'm with you 100%
