Now, I haven't written a suggestion in a long time, and sorry if I repeat some posts, I just never saw enough detail. I usually have a problem with posting either too much or not enough, so please stick with me on this.

New area: Starlight Falls!

Having braved the halls of FSC, defeated Vanaduke, and emerged triumphant at depth 29, the brave knights of the Cradle stumble upon a mysterious capsule, buzzing with energy. Curious, the party venture inside, to find themselves teleported to another location upon the rock planet they're stranded on! They emerge from a deep cave, and they encounter the most beautiful vista of lush jungles, roaring waterfalls (possible minigame ;3), and strangers. Our brave knights are welcomed into this new town, Starlight Falls. They are overjoyed to see another town has emerged upon the barren face of the Clockworks. However, where are the people who built this town? The Knights explore, take notes, (take a few selfies by the waterfall) and return to Haven via mysterious capsule. Having presented their findings to HQ, an official landing party is sent to explore the new territory. Having discovered another entrance to Clockworks at the center of the town, HQ concludes that there must have been other knights who used to frequent Starlight Falls. It is possible they fell to the monsters in Clockworks. As of now, HQ has made it another temporary home for knights of Vanguard rank, and they are working tirelessly to discover what fate has fallen the previous inhabitants of the mysterious Starlight Falls. (I'm going to stop now, because my arms are almost asleep from using my phone in this posture. Just a few more quick details...)

The layout of SF would be a bit different from haven, although it would contain all the parts Haven has, just in a different order. Different decorations, different theme, etc. Would make a nice change, Yes? No? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated!

There were originally 3 hometowns in the game, and these were known as Haven, Moorcraft and Emberlight. One for each and every tier of knight.

This was changed to enforce Haven as the only home for the knights, and to mix the new players in with the old, and I think it was a fairly good decision.

I mean, emberlight and moorcraft manor aren't similar to haven, I was kinda thinking... You know the entrance to ATH in haven? There could be another version of that in haven, only accessible to those who've unlocked it by reaching the core+vanguard rank.
Just imagine a slight new version of haven, just to spice the game up a bit. The original idea I had was to also include a kind if "wave arena" in Starlight Falls, where you would fight hordes of monsters and would survive as long as possible.

Being this and that.

So being its called Starlight Falls, instead of a fountain i would expect a waterfall, and like the Linchon rooms i would like to see stars falling at all times, this could also be something more event related like a full moon or something where everyone could visit, no matter the tier.

But this way it could be one of those things where "hey this little planet they found is only available or close enough to reach at certain times" (full moons)

Just because i don't want it to be something that a little more often then never or once a year..

More towns will make it look like a dead game and give a bad impression for new players visiting an empty Haven.

Haven 1 and a couple others are fairly healthy, but everything else is.... depressing.

I like the concept but I agree with Juances; the game doesn't have the population to fill another town.

Also, Jiker wants to give as many supports as the number of ways you could order a universe full of fine dust particles. Interesting.

Perhaps...

There would need to be some incentive to return to Haven, such as Starlight Falls not having an auction house or another con. But Starlight Falls would need a pro for people to actually want to spend time there. Balancing is tough guys/gals.

I see what you mean about not having enough people, I just thought it would be a nice place to visit, a little get-together area for the vanguards. Or maybe there would be no function of SF other than an area where people could chat and hang out, so there would be no AH or Punch, etc. It is supposed to be for the 1337 ;)
Lol @Klipik Jiker? Who's he? Was he posting a lot? ;3

No, sorry.

A mouse trap needs cheese in order to catch the mouse, if you know what I mean.

^ then what's the point of haven garden? :3 Maybe in SF there could be only AH and alchemy machines, along with Clockworks entrances :/ The people I had in mind who would frequent this place would be most of the vanguards with legendary idling powers

"googol plex"

"If you filled the entire volume of the observable universe with fine dust particles roughly 1.5 micrometers in size, then the number of different combinations in which you could arrange and number these particles would be about one googolplex."

no, just no

have you thought about other stuff, like vanguards never being able to see their nonvanguard friends? (well, until their nonvanguard friends go their)

@Pipipipipi like Klipik says, you could always just go back. This would just be a nice little bonus for vanguards
