@Captain

good point...

@nick

1. will pets die? if yes....

2. will it cost ce to rev them?

3. what happens if you die? will the pet die too?

4. what happens if the pet die? will you die?

5. will pets be fed different types of mats for its kind? e.g drakon can eat dark shards?

6. will pets die from hunger (if must be fed) if not fed? or maybe change attitude. Or you can feed, but dont have to....

7. will the pets emotion and attitude change from time to time? Or from logging of for long time?

Idea no.1: you can right click the pet and inspect pet alone in haven.

Idea no.2: you will have a window you can open and make your pet do tricks??

please reply!!!

... Stop, just stop

When he said a new series of missions when you reach haven, I read it wrong, I thought it said Cradle when I first read it, oh god, I am so sorry

Does this mean I should start stockpiling materials for this?

Will we get demotasic ones?

Or pit brutes?

@Dragonuity

We need more damage inducing sprites
There's only one sprite whose purpose is solely for combat.
No we don't..so what? if there is only 1 sprite that deals damage? There is also just 1 sprite each that can weaken the enemy and defend your team?

Here is a suggestion-
Blue Terrabird- lightning based attacks which can cause shock, can also boost your attack speed.
A bit overpowered? There's a reason why the developers didn't put ASI and DMG bonus in one wolver line.

Also, why not make the baby monsters from the monster pockets become interactive. You feed it and it can grow into a adult chromalisk, gun puppy, and Mewcat which can be 3 new kinds of battle sprites?
No. They are accessories and will stay like that forever.

This isn't Pokemon.

ahh ok!! my bad.. calm down Night-Rove. Thanks Traevelliath.

I have couple questions:

First, does the Sprite has a star system that we need to upgrade?

If yes above then: Will we all start with a 1* sprite and has to upgrade it or we will get one our level? (kinda like Dark Retribution and Rocket Warmaster Hammer?)

Will we have new "socket" or will it take one jewel/weapon slot to equip?

And also, future idea about adding more Sprite and making them evolve? I know it's early in the making but still... Would like to know if it's a little "here's a pet for you" or a good "here's a nice pet system for you"

Thank You

Also when should I expect the next Test Server to starts? Mid-February? End of March? Early June?

you didn't answer my questions D:

I've got an idea.

Routor.

A Mechanical Sprite made from remains of radio dishes and Tv attenas that is despite not helping with buff or offense as much, can provide tactical help. Using it's data, it can scan enemy weaknesses or health. It can also show enemy positions. A direct attack could be an AoE attack.

Nick's post made me think again. Most likely will take this to suggestions once they are released.

Nick still looking for a simple question:

Does Pet attack at their own will like mechknights?

Or

Doest Pet attack when the owner attack and attack the same target as the owner?

Thank you.

A few questions;

Do sprites have a customizable and presumably limited number of skills?
Ergo in a Pokemon-esque fashion does a sprite say have 30 possible skills to choose bewteen but can only actually "know" say 3-5 at a time, thus meaning you have to customize their skill-set, ensuring variety and enabling you to 'build' them in different ways? Or are all end-game sprites of the same 'class' going to basically be identical skill-wise?

When you say "evolve" will the sprite's apperance change, without explicit customizing?
As Sprites level up and possibly upgrade, will their appearance change at all indepedently of equips? Ergo putting aside specific equippable items like the harnesses or accessories, would there be any visual difference between a completely basic sprite and one that had levelled a lot but had no specific equips?

What does "Starter Sprites" mean?
Is this meant to imply that there will be sprites avaliable besides the Starter Sprites at some stage? And how will that happen, will it be based on the "evolution" ergo say there's thirty different 'final' states but they all start off as one of the original three and 'evolve' via different trees, or are there going to be other 'base' sprites as well?

Considering the above, how much variety do you intend their to be between fully upgraded sprites?
Are we looking a system where even if five players start with a Drakon, by the time they're fully upgraded and equipped they could all be completely different in terms of skills, equips, apperance, ect, or is the level of variety and depth there limited?

@Night-Rove

I know but what worries me its like: pet its with you, see an enemy and start attacking without pressing the skill pet button, then you press skill pet button the pet attack the target youre attacking. i dont want automatic pets that attack anything in sight if you dont press the button. a pet that attack the same target as the owner when the owner wish its something i can tolerate.

i just want him confirm the pet will not have Free Will attacking monsters and only attack when the owner press the button (and of course only attack targets that the owner are focusing, not free will to attack anything around). thats the only thing i want him answer. :/ because thats my biggest concern

You think they copied from the cyber-elfs in megaman zero?

"You think they copied from the cyber-elfs in megaman zero?"

That was a reply long in coming. Huh.

I didn't say they copied them, but the idea is very similar.

MMZ Cyber Elves:
-Three classes: Nurse, Animal, Hacker. Nurse-type directly assist the player, usually with drops, and/or resistances. Animal-type assist movement and attack enemies. Hacker-types affect enemies and the scenario.
-Cyber Elves are fed E-crystals to 'evolve'.
-Cyber Elves, when on a passive continuous use, will float above your head as you move.

Similarities:
-They are fed game 'material' to evolve.
-There are three base classes with three different effects.
-They float above your head.
-Some may attack enemies, some increase resistance, some debuff enemies.

Not quite un-similar, I would think.

Will enemies attack sprites as if they were mecha knights? Will they be hurt and unusable for the rest of the floor/run if hit by enemies?

Will it be possible to acquire every Battle Sprite?

-- Refractionz

How much do u think battle sprites will cost ???

Will the starters be starter only? or will the other 2 we dont choose be obtainable later?

"Since harnesses change the damage type of a sprite's attack, that means based on how you described the sprites, harnesses would logically only be applicable to drakon."

Nick: All sprites are designed for combat, all have at least one direct damage skill. But of the three starters, the drakon has the most direct damage skills. This is not to say that it's skills ultimately result in the most damage, they are simply the most direct.
