Let's take turns and relishing the memories of the past and saying: "These were the times. Ahh....."
My turn: I played a danger room with slimes and constant green jelly minis spawners. When I played it: NOSTALGIA NOSTALGIA EVERYWHERE! Gotta play more danger rooms to satisfy it! Why? Because I haven't played that danger room since I first joined SK. Now I'm very happy. :D
Old UI
Tortodrone
Badgers
Wolver dens
Jelly King
Rescue camp
Old Guild Halls
Before Vanguard missions came out
Old alchemy machines
Normal Heating
Before lockdown
Super Brawl
Zee cores and slooms
Big green Jelly cubes
Before pets
Monomi
A more friendly coliseum
No alchemy orbs
The old chaos armor
Before dash and bash
Remember when the forums had quite number of intelligent posters?
Pepperidge remembers.
There was some balance: Too many things to list them... but mainly the old Shard bombs... before, for an unknown reason, ZeroZeroZero started favoring their damn Brandishes and buffed them, then buffed the buffed Acheron to make it an OHKOron. Then they buffed the Chaos set which completely outclasses the Mad bomber set and makes it useless. With this buff, now every clone-minded noob can become as OP as a Game master... Chaos doesn't even make its user a glass cannon because of Pendants. And now we reach Lockdown... oh, let's stop there...
Old UI: Players complained about the new UI. OOO, as awlays, didn't do anything. Players suggested an option to switch between the UIs, OOO ignored that too.
Guild Hall: I miss one place of the old GH :| That place where you could see the sunshine and the most beautiful view of the Clockworks... With the OST and the view... it was just amazing. Was.
The old enemies.
I miss the time when old ld came out and derpy noobs thought dread skelly and da were a ood combo.
Community was awesome back then, so many fresh friendly noobs with no silly rank above their heads. Fun people having a good time.
Now, you have to grind harder than Miley cyrus on the dancefloor to get any decent stuff.
I miss heating a 5* item in 2 vana runs...
Also, Players are too OP. Everything is just "harder" because the enemies have more health. Bring back the tracking Zombie swipes, and the head nomming, and take away the stupid zombie lunge with the broken hitbox. Tracking makes it moar fun. I would gladly give up easyness for a better challenge.
Even UFSC elite is lame....i doubt half as many people would venture therr is the zombies had tracking swiped, and such.
From a relative standpoint (comparing now SK to 2011 SK), the ONLY good to come out of the time is no mist system.
Other then that, its a tossup of good and bad patches, where the bad patches take up the majority.
However, from an absolute standpoint (a newb starting out), it is a great game. Takes time to get stuff if u dont know wat u r doing, but good times. Until you get to the T3 benchmark. But anyways, bring back the old! Old enemies are far more interrsting anyways.
Give us back the old UI/option to use it and I will gladly put money into the game.
Or at the very least, I want a permanent crown count under the minimap like it once was.
Every time I look at myself in my Azure set, I always feel warm and fuzzy inside as it's been my very first 5* set. I think I'll just go in there wearing it with the ironmight shield, and levi and magma driver just for the fun of it.
DH13 - made me remember DH11 which I did in wolver gear. :o
I haven't posted in anything other the bazaar since I quit, and for good reasons.
Anyway: I'd kill to have 2011 SK back, or even beta.
•No AH (as much as it did help me)
•No missions
•No P2W
•Old Danger Rooms
•Somewhat difficult fights/Players weren't buffed to god mode (Yes, the game was actually kinda hard at one point!)
•No silly promos
•No PvP (With the exception of Super Brawl) (This... I dunno. Probably since Lockdown was released, that was all I ever did until the time I quit. But... If I had to toss up Lockdown, GvG, all of that for 2011 SK, I would in a heartbeat.)
•Arcade was meaningful, as was the bazaar. (Goes along with "No AH". Prior to the AH, the only time anyone was in the Town Square was if they had just loaded in. EVERYONE was lined along the bazaar and arcade walls.)
•No pets
•Corner crafting... R.I.P. <3
•Lastly, and most importantly... A good community. I'm not sure how it is now, not do I want to know. However 2)3'ever I quit back in March, it was drop dead AWFUL, especially compared to 2011.
I get a bit sad whenever I log in to try to sell things every once in a blue moon. 2011 SK - Probably one of the best games I had ever played. Late 2012 - Exact opposite.
