We want our old fire back!!! The old fire was what made SK great and kept me coming back! Stop making new promos and give us the old fire back! Now a days, I don't even pick up fire vials anymore! The new ones make me sick! Also, when I catch on fire, I completely ignore it! I sold my Vog set just like we all should. Fire isn't worth our attention anymore! This is a 1,000 post rant!!!!
Since we've been having trouble finding something to rage about lately..
Rages is not good for the face :3 Stop raging if you don't wanna be ugly...
Be content with what you have, and grateful if more is given to you.
People say gimme content. Devs are overrun. Art team trys to distract with promos. People say we hate promos. Art team changes strategy to giving new graphics. People start hating that too. WHY DO YOU EVEN PLAY THIS GAME IF YOU HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. ~Z
As stated in the OP, this is a 1,000 post rant, I didn't think it was necessary to also say that it was a joke!!!
I will also address any disagreements!
@Panda - Always glad to cause more rage.
@Hellscream - Then don't look at my face
@ Portrayt - Imagine if everyone lived by this, there would be no posts with suggestions, nobody giving the devs ideas of what we want...
@Addy - People do not enjoy being upset, but expressing their emotions is the only way they can convey their unhappiness to the devs.
@ Agentz - I play this game because I enjoy it. Nothing is perfect, including the relationship between the players and the devs, but if the relationship were perfect, nothing would ever get done. The devs do not wince every time we complain, they simply take everything we say into consideration. When we say we want something, they tend to make their best efforts to comply, but they don't obey our every command. The goal of a game such as SK is to make money, and because of that I am forced to disagree with your description of the relationship between the devs and the vocal portion community. Yeah sure, people complain about promos but guess what? More often than not, I see everyone in haven wearing the latest costumes each time they come out, sometimes even people who I've seen complaining on the forums. The devs aren't under as much pressure as we think we are putting them under. THE REASON SK MAKES MONEY, IS BECAUSE WE ARE NEVER HAPPY!!!! If we were always pleased, and they had no pressure to release updates and promos, the game would be at risk of becoming boring and many players would loose interest. Things happen because people are never happy, that is the cycle of progress.
Can we actually take a moment to talk about the "fire" though? Now that it was updated, I can hardly remember what old fire was.
Maybe it was more laggy? I can't tell because I haven't tested it out side by side with new one.
New fire isn't bad, but it feels out place the "flat" look of other element textures. AKA flat snowy particles or flat shocky bolts or who can forget those flat looking ZZZ'z from slooms. Poison bubbles actually bubbles and not flat? Fughet about et.~
Anyone have pictures of old fire?
Hmmm, yeah. I have a lot of trouble remembering too, which is funny considering how many times I've gone though FSC. I agree with the comments about the new fire too, it's very transparent, and often times I can't tell that I'm on fire. If you want pictures of old fire, try checking out old videos of vana runs on youtube (there are a million!). One thing I noticed is that I find it very disorienting when trying to run up the first level of FSC to destroy the wheels. Meh, that's my petty complaining. I'm glad for all the people whose lag was taken care of by this update!
You're telling me that you cannot read those bright, big orange letters over your knight that say FIRE? or like mystrian said. just look at the health bar... lol, i personally like the new fire, and the fact that they're trying to reduce lag on the levels is nice too IMO.
BTW, that thing you said about being unhappy is the way of progress is definitely not true, progress is not being unhappy, and if players were happy they could still play the game happily, the demand for new content or new stuff does not mean that players aren't happy... i get what you say, but i think that "happy" is not the word you're looking for there, and the statement you made is wrong in more than one way.
Regarding the fire, when I play I usually ignore the signs at the health bar, because before the update I never had to look. Also, I did state at the end that I am happy for everyone whose lag problems were solved due to this update.
Regarding my comment on unhappiness, yeah, maybe 'unhappy' isn't the word. I can't speak for everyone. What I'm trying to say is that because the community voices their opinions on aspects of the game, the devs get things done. If there nobody voiced their opinions, the devs would be under no pressure to get anything done and the game might not have many of the things we enjoy about it today. I meant that the cycle of progress is the community voicing their opinion and the devs responding to it. Those opinions are sometimes negative and sometimes positive. I now realize that a negative comment does not mean someone is uphappy, it's just something they'd like to see changed. P.S. It was a rush job, laptop was dying :3
I have something to rage about; this post
