First off, OOO what was that knight identity offline thing just now? You had me suffocating just now. Anyways this is actually one of those promos that's worth while actually and I'm pretty excited. Now your thoughts what are they?

Also if anyone has a volcanic maskeraith will you let me know? I will pay a good price for it thx.

Hexzyle, how do you have no subject? :/

Did it happen at the same time as the server restart?

Anyways now sounds like a good time to complain about the prize boxes being random...

I just wish there was a quicker way to view exactly what they look like sooner. I want to get a Seraphynx but I don't know what my options really are this early in to the event yet.

3% chance for the following:
Maskeraith Pod (Snarblepup)

37% chance for one of the following:
Drakon Pod (Divine)
Drakon Pod (Shadow)
Maskeraith Pod (Volcanic)
Maskeraith Pod (Freeze)
Seraphynx Pod (Siamese)
Seraphynx Pod (Tabby)

P.S. Would it be possible if OOO could label the sprites? Its a little difficult to distinguish sprites in the ah

Honestly I'm a little upset.

It's not that the sprites are random and in real-money prize boxes, that's old news by now.

The problem is that as far as sprites go, there is clearly a much more pressing issue, namely the introduction of Valestone and Moonstone sprites. Now, I recognize all the usual and often quite reasonable notes here, that OOO has a small design team and a large art team, that their financial situation may not be the best, that they have a big (i.e. evil) publisher pushing them on. However, this is a noticeable and problematic gap in the current build.

In some ways this ties into a larger problem of disorganization. For example, why do we still have minerals? The Arcade redesign seems to have fallen through the cracks, which in itself isn't a total catastrophe from my perspective, but why is there no interim measure? Adding the two new Battle Sprites would solve the backup of minerals, as would simply getting rid of them and replacing both deposits and food recipes with shards, but neither has happened.

You can also look into the whole "new content" complaint that hangs around the forums like a Wolver expecting a biscuit, but in some ways this runs deeper than that. It's not just about new content, it's about fleshing out and filling in. Before adding another layer, we should fix and build up the one we have.

Basically what I'm trying to say (and probably doing it incoherently) is that this promotion is a major waste of time on everyone's part and seems to show a disregard for the real issues, whatever those might be. I'm aware not everyone cares about such things, and I'm probably going to have at least four people trying to find holes in my logic (you know who you are), but really, I just wanted to say I'm increasingly unhappy. That's allowed, right? At least on occasion?

Hmm.

I have contacted support about the cat coloration and lack of naming distinction in-game. I'll let you all know the results soon. Pics will be on wiki asap.

If I had to guess, tabby is grey, siamese is beige, since irl, beige is what classic siamese cats are colored, and that leaves grey for tabby. A quick google search reveals this. But breeds are wonky and SK is wonkier. We shall see. Hopefully an admin can post here and clear it up too!

The mineral situation could be quickly fixed if vale and moonstone were removed from the game entirely.

Wyvernoflight, I'm very sure that's not a solution at all, and one that would make many players very upset. It's also just lazy. We have to be patient while they make the new sprites. Deciding on a balanced set of new skills, and then animating them, takes a lot of time. We saw how much the original three were delayed. I have no doubt they are coming...eventually. In the meantime, encourage new players to take the mineral color they need, and remind them that minerals are shared at the elevator.

Removing the other two is indeed a very lazy (simple) solution. However just because it is simple doesn't make it wrong. It is just that functionally, there is no use for these minerals other than the occasional geological survey.

To me, the primary downside of removing the two minerals is that doing so would confirm that OOO has little to no intention to ever introduce the much anticipated new pets. I believe that what Amaki is saying is just a result of his, and many other player's, frustration that no visible work has been revealed towards the two pets.

That being said, I'm perfectly happy with this update, and how the game is now overall. Keep up the great work ooo!

Nice update, truth be told (especially snarby thing, looks BA)

Update -> People praise OOO for being epic for like a week
After a week, people go back to being grumpy haters begging for new content.

Bunch of hypocrites....

If you don't buy boxes to

If you don't buy boxes to gamble for your 3% snarby sprite, then you'll never see it again.

Just like those vog gamn as rare gun puppy sprites...

It would have been nice if this were an event so that we could BUY ENERGY to craft sprite pods into other sprites.
BUT NOOOO that would make people happy.

I guess I can't complain too much, since the best OOO can do is just make reskins.

BUY BUY BUY MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE
WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?

You probably have to contact

You probably have to contact support directly with the knight identity offline problem.

The only thing that is keeping me from buying the box is the spending limit. OOO, how can you rotate boxes every week or two weeks and limit our spending? I mean, I understand the reason for fraud but if I can provide you information, you shouldn't have any worries about fraud.

Came back from a long break (since 2011), and bought their newbie packs and battle pack, 14 solstice box, ask them for spending increase and they only increased by 100, bought another $100 worth of boxes (didn't get my wings... bummer) and now they came out with cool boxes again but will be gone in two weeks.

Now, I just sit in front of the AH and watch people open boxes and get cool sprites. Haha.

The one thing I have wanted and hoped for since ... well, quite some time! I picked the best week to get back into SK. Thank you so much. ;w; <3 I MISSED THIS GAME. This is the best welcome back gift a cute robot could hope for.

The developers are adding colors to the names of the new battle sprites. This should clear up any confusion. The plan is to do a patch today!

Since most of you are too lazy to find out what Tabby and Siamese cats look like here are some pictures

Tabby: http://www.hazelstarwarriors.com/Shredclaw.jpg
A tabby, also known as grey tiger, is any domestic cat that has a coat featuring distinctive stripes, dots, lines or swirling patterns, usually together with a mark resembling an 'M' on its forehead.

Siamese: http://www.hdwallpapersnew.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/most-beautiful...
The modern Siamese is characterized by blue almond-shaped eyes, a triangular head shape, large ears, an elongated, slender, and muscular body, and point coloration.

Point coloration refers to animal coat coloration with a pale body and relatively darker extremities, i.e. the face, ears, feet, tail, etc.

Last time I checked, costumes and color variations don't count as content. The last actual content was 5/13, 1.5 months ago. And it lasted about an hour, so it's understandable that people didn't stay happy for very long.

Also, remember that just because there are groups of people saying one thing one week and another the next does not mean those groups were made up of the same people.
