-1. I dont like this idea.

1. Could we fly over monster Dougknight? If we could this is the worste idea.
2. This will maybe make lags
3. If they give as a speed bonus then Mercurial set and Mercurial Demo set will be useless.

If we could fly over enemies and if we get speed bonus bomber (and maybe gunners) will take down everything. First equp full mad bomber set and fliers. Go to clokwork. Always fly and just drop bomb from the sky. You will never die or loose a single heart.

-1 for falling with style.

I like this idea! Although, I don't think I'd use it much, if it was allowed in the clockworks. Maybe OOO could make a sky stratum, sort of like the Shadow Lairs, just without the bosses. Maybe a PvP game could rise from this, and also some new bosses or something. I could just imagine it... (daydreaming) Helpless little knight: "Help! That guy just ripped me off!" (Jandalf flies in, locking on to the helpless little knight) "Which way did he go?" HLK: "He went that way!" (points east, toward the pool in the bazaar) Jandalf: "Up, up, and away!!!!" (flies in, and shoots down the rip-off guy with his dual antiguas) "Do that again, and I'll make sure you never produce another child!" (scene blacks out) Okay, you know what, this is getting off the point.
-Great idea
-Maybe blocked in normal clockworks levels?
-Possibly different styles?
-Wings match personal color?
-Possible new PvP game?
-Possibly more levels revolving around this idea?
-Maybe some new and tougher sky bosses?
-Possibly useable in a new sky haven/sanctuary?
-I'd love to fall with style!
+1+1+1+1! <3

My oppinon is the same as everyone slse who -1 this. Overpowered, laggy and not fitting with the game style.

Also there is no point. We should have more levels.

Unfortunately, I'm going to pick some holes in this idea.

To start off with, flying has to be restricted to only areas where you can already walk in the Clockworks. As in, knights could not be allowed to fly over empty space, or walls. Gates are meant to block passage, and that won't work if you can fly around them. And of course if you are restricted against flying out over empty space, you have to be blocked from flying over walls too. And this is quite nessecary, too. Imagine how easy boss fights would be if you just had to fly over to a health pad whenever you ran low on health.

So we've established that you can't be allowed to fly where you can't walk. Well, maybe you can still fly over removable obstacles?
Or not. After all, there's no point in triggering ghost blocks to remove unbreakable blocks when you can just as easily fly over them. Oh yes, and too many levels feature map hazards like spikes and brambles for some players to be given immunity.
I do suppose that it would make sense that you couldn't trigger buttons of any kind, pick up heat, hearts, coins, minerals, materials or carry keys or statues while flying, but that might not be considered an advantage by most people.

So now that you interact with the map exactly the same whether you're flying or not, what's left? I suppose we can always say that when you're flying you can't attack monsters and they can't attack you. In other words, a way to afk without any danger to yourself.

There always is the movement speed increase. Leaving us with an accessory that doubles as a movement speed trinket. Which can be turned on or off.
I suppose that there might be some people who'd like to buy it for cosmetic value but not get the stat gains.

Considering that these point apply equally to Lockdown and particularily to Blast Network, I suppose that there really isn't any harm in letting some players pay an extraordinary price for the right to fly around Haven and Guildhalls.

Actually, having intraguild flying competitions might be quite fun.

P.S. It was in fact a interesting idea, and I'm sorry for tearing gaping holes in it, but that kind of a mechanic has to be a core game mechanic, and you can't add a new core mechanic without modifying othe core mechanics and drastically remodelling others.

To make this better:

A PvP game. The fliers makes the knights like Greavers. Only can shoot at enemies. The filers are llike gliders.

No Clockwork function and no point in Haven.

@witalon, errr.... thats not the full quote bud ^^; , the full 3 is this,

""---------------------
3. It is only hover height, so your are still in range of monsters, only thing is your now faster

The wings or whatever it is are very fragile so if you are hit in battle while they are active they break off and you have to pay another 5 energy to fix them.
---------------------""

I don't think people get the Mercurial lines to be able to run faster from point A to point B, its either to get away from monsters IN battle, or to counter the effects of big angry bomb, not to mention I would think the speed bonus would actually combine, like already fast weapons still get a speed boost from speed increasing armor or anything else of that nature.

Though another restriction might be that if you ever use attack or shield your wings will also turn off, this will keep them safer if a knight was just trying to catch up to their party mates and stumbled upon a monster can just shield or attack and hide there wings and also keep people like gunners from abusing it by using the strafe button with their gun a good ways away from the real action.

It won't work for the game. GET IT INTO YOUR HEAD!!!

HOW ABOUT SOME LEVELS INSTEAD!!!! Most Idiotic idea since pets that attack! Look, we go into the clockworks. Greavers and Silkwings fly, but not over creavases. So why us? Also, a speed increase would be better with armours. What is the point of going into clouds? Do the clouds give us the energy for the Skylark to function? Heck no! I would rather have lore or epic bosses that stupid cloud ciity of flying invulnability!!! The Grimlakins and Phantoms hover through stuuff because they are obstacles. If we could just fly, we would avoid arenas! BUT THE MONEY WOULD BE FORGOTEN!!!

So no Fliers!

Sorry for that.

"none of u can say the lock down sky battle idea is bad."
none of us says a new sky-lockdown is bad, we just say fly mounts everywhere is pointless.

"again in the clock works u hover or u can just not use it and fight."
This is why it's pointless it offers no advanatge and actually blocks gameplay. The game IS about killing monsters to get money/open gates.
What would peacefully flying do?

"flying around on wings and hover boards that's got to sound good to somebody."
Again:
cool=/= usefull

Flying in the CWs has so, so, so many plotholes in it there's not really anywhere good to start. It would either work exactly like walking (making it pointless) or defeat the entire point of a puzzle/obstacle based dungeon-crawler, since you could just freely soar to the end.
Flying in Haven would simply be pointless, as there's just outright not enough of it. It's a compact city map, and separated by loading screens; moving at double the speed would only serve to make you less time walking than in loading screens.
PvP it would be pointless, because it would either wind up working exactly as it does not, or again, change the entire mechanics of it. Or indeed, give fliers an enormous advantage over non-fliers, which kills the balance of pvp outright.

Basically, in SK, there's just no room or point for flying. There's no benefit, no advantages and won't fit the games core mechanics.
And if it's simply just the fashion you want...well, there's already wing accessories.

If you change your ideas, edit your OP: not everyone wants to read every single post in a thread to keep up with the latest changes you've made, especially when you bring the topic back up so much later.

Wings giving a speed boost? There's only two sets (iirc) that give speed boost in the game, and they're :low, and actual armour sets, not accessories, especially when tehre's accessories we alreayd have.
Also, in LD, giving some players another speed boost just because they can afford a fancy stat-accessory is hardly fair; strikers are fast enough as they are without being faster w/o their rush.
Sky battles? really? Try and keep with the theme!

Your idea was different. The dragon wins are not with varations like flier/gliders/butterfly.

Also, that was for a holiday. I bet you that the devs removed flying from their lists.

Also, BUMP MUCH!?

This thread was out of everyone's mind. You just HAD to bump it.

Ohboy.

Jeez....

Thank you!

Everytime I see this guy and this thread go together, I lose brain cells.

Please stop necroing this post. The idea is not good.

/graveyard.

You are a idiot. Please lose your inflated balloon you call a ego. Your idea was not even thought of. I't been both shot down and dead. Please get off from the fourms....

/graveyard

Stop making a fool out of yourself, you did not help the devs with this thread AT ALL. You think you "inspired" them because you suggested wings MONTHS before they were implemented, as if winged characters wasn't cliche enough. Stop acting like you are some kind of genious because you had this 'super original' idea. Wings are not in the game because you said so, they are there because the devs PLANNED IT. i'm sorry I'm being a jerk right now, but you are being overly chidish and irritating when you say
"without this thread we wouldn't have the new moving wings"
"I KNOW what i did and how i helped the creators and they've given me recognition"
Do not overestimate yourself, learn to be modest, and know if it's convenient or not to bump your thread.

/graveyard

So he directed his insults to me.

Anyone who thinks that their idea inspired another seemingly irrelevant idea has an inflated ego.

Wings are wings. You say that your idea was the cause of the new wings as if it was certain. I'm not even certain the Gauntlet mission was based off my Codename story, and the name and base characteristic of both are pretty similar. I asked, but received no reply, therefore I do not assume.

Assume: If you assume, it makes an ASS out of U and ME (Mr. Young: Economics teacher 2009)

If you need another opinion, here it is: This idea is not a good idea.

How long are people going to have to tell you this? You necroed a useless idea that would require a remake of the whole SK sytem to implement, and is not crucial/even 'cool' to have.

So peeps with wings get to 'fly'. For what, I don't even care to read the OP for anymore. Whether for new stages, or as a Clockworking ability, all it'd do is destroy existing game mechanics and possibly drive a bigger wedge between the player community than the P2P/F2P.

They gave you recognition? Pray tell, how so?

If you say something along the lines of "They added the wings I suggested into the game", I will not be amused.

You did not suggest them, they do not recognise anyone with the ideas they implement, merely the idea itself. And the idea was not one you provided.

Unless you have material proof the Gm's said "Ohey thanks for giving us the wing idea, we really appreciate it kthanxbai"

Seriously, Graveyard this thread.

Let dis b t3h last post on this thread of hurtful wurds so I no need 2 read hurtful wurds at my genius anymore.

OhWhatHaveIFoundHereTrollFace.png

What have we here?

Everyone knew someone was going to ask for this. We get wing accessories; someone wants to fly around, use flight to speed run floors, player versus player, and what not. What do you want next, pets?

On a serious note, flight could be a combat system to fight other players. Obviously flying using our wing accessories is out of the question, but riding an aircraft/balloon/space ship/plane/helicopter/bathtub with a propeller may prove worthy of aerial combat.

We could have ships with multiple decks:
The first deck is in the open air, where knights may run about with their shenanigans. There are cannons and the means to board other ships to raid atop.
The second deck can be a cargo/ammo/garrison hold where knights about to go up prepare at a loadout station, crafting machine, and vial spawn pads.
The third deck has the ship power core/flag to capture/something the enemy wants to steal, which upon capture brings victory.

This may be the basis for a "capture the flag" event/new content. This may also be silly.
