Spiral Knights UN-wishlist
Sun, 11/06/2011 - 12:40
Hello fellow knights,
I rarely post but have been feeling the need to more recently. I keep seeing all these suggestions posted time and time again. I also see these wishlists that have been around since the game was created. We have all seen these wishlists, but has there ever been an UN-wishlist? I don't ever recall seeing one, so I'm making one. Post here your top 3 (or 5 or 100, I don't really care) things that you wish OOO would undo or never do. And if you want, make another list of things you do want.
UN-wishes:
1. Dual wielding. Listen up, it will NEVER happen so stop making ten new threads about it a day. It will mess with the mechanics too much.
2. Pets. Whether they are purely aesthetic or battle-functioning, no. Go play WoW.
3. Bank. That's a lot of work and coding for something that serves no purpose, our inventory is unlimited.
*honorable mention - Stop trying to make a case for OOO to make CE cheaper by intervening or allow unlimited ME.
Wishes:
1. Finish up some of the weapon lines, specifically wrenches, wands, and thwack hammers. I personally would really like a 5* thwack hammer.
2. More guild customization. I'm not even in a guild and I think that this is a must.
3. More knight customization. I would like to see more costumes available (not just accessories) and even shield covers, so you can match everything and look different from everyone even though 90% of us have wolver on underneath.
*honorable mention - "barber shop". I personally love my color and do not have any intention of changing it. But I do not speak for everyone else and think the option should be available, with more colors added like burgundy, grey, white, navy blue, etc.
Let me know yours.
Brought to you by your "average gamer"

lets see....
Don't want:
1. specialized classes (no RPG stuff here plz)
2. unfair prices on special stuff (shadow keys being the one i hate right now)
3. pointless armor stats (merc set's move spd for example)
4. the new charge animation (all weapons)
5. new DA charge animation
6. random CE spikes (Not that theres anything anyone can do about it)
Do want:
1. trinkets for move spd
2. faster mist energy recharge (reduce it to like 18 hours....)
3. old charge animation
4. more shard bombs
5. armor set bonuses (for example vog set gives increase dmg low, skolver give asi low, volcanic demo gives dmg increase low, Azure Guardian set gives asi and dmg low, etc)
6. shield cover (got tired of looking at the same 5 shields everywhere.....grey owlite, CoA, aegis, BTS, volcanic plate)
7. more sleep infecting enemies so sleep resist isnt there for absolutely nothing
8. PETS (ya thats right i want pets. But NOT like WoW pets. I want pets that are essentially like another trinket. They follow you and give a small bonus to 1 stat but does NOT fight or pick stuff up for you. They need heat to stay alive and its given to them at the end of a level. If they die, you either wait 24 hrs or pay....like 300CE? to rev them instantly)
9. more GM hosted events

1. uv trinket (rolls UVs on it like ( Sword : Ctr -high), (Helm : piercing defence -med)
2. new weps
3. 1 v 1 pvp

Want! Do Not Want!
Do want:
- Seperated Tier PvP Queue Displays. It's a little annoying to see "44 waiting...", then having "Not enough players, lame delay".
- Finished up weapon lines, or at least making these low-tier ones not completely dead-end and useless ( cough Cautery Sword cough ).
- Colour switching. Alot of people pick red by accident as it was (or is it still?) the default personal colour. It makes the actual red people feel generic.
- Changes to make certain UV combinations impossible. It's a little annoying getting curse/shadow resistance on a Circuit Breaker Helm.
- More 1* Trinkets. /shot
- Some form of 1v1 Dueling system.
Do not want:
- Pets. They're nothing but more lag/glitches/useless hats.
- Any more UV slots.
- Fixed charge animation. Sure, the old one was pretty, but the new one isn't as laggy or as much of a giveaway in PvP.

HUH
Most of the stuff in here I wouldn't go for. Why do people not want pets? It boggles my mind. Oh yeah, and I made an actual "pet" thread that actually makes sense, no pet slots or anything like that, just plain old summoning stuff.

Mini-pets I would not mind.
Mini-pets I would not mind. Assuming they're like the ones in Guild Wars where its a miniture version of something that wanders around a small radius around you. Don't fight, no benefits, just a pretty... and a limit of how many can be in any given part of Haven per district to keep from causing massive lag.
Don't want:
Pets that fight
Vehicles
Dual-wielding (yay! i can dual-wield! buhbye useless shield for nother toy! ... ... *cries* why do i keep ending up on the floor!?!?!?!)
Useless "bonus" stats (Merc's laughable movement speed bonus)
Do want:
More equipment/equipment lines finished (ex. Crystal Bomb, Spur)
More bosses :D
Return of the Tortodrone
Guild Halls made upgradable (can buy vendors to put into them permanently with CROWNS) so they're not a useless bit of coding.

Not Wants
1: No one should be able to survive an explosion in BN. Period.
2: Do not want invisible knights! I shouldn't have to put my graphics to the Caveman setting.
3: I do not want my candy to expire. I am a packrat. I can't take up that much extra space on the server...
4: I do not want to hear that 'there are no snipe hats.' Please use the space below to announce that you are giving us snipe hats.
5: I do not want you to be discouraged. Thank you for a game that is improving.

Wait, what?
1: No one should be able to survive an explosion in BN. Period.
2: Do not want invisible knights! I shouldn't have to put my graphics to the Caveman setting.
People can survive BN explosions? I've never seen it happen ( probibly because I don't do BN much ) But...what? If it's bomberman style, it's 1-shot dead. . A.
As for the invisable knights, I find graphics switching doesn't work as well. Especially if it's in the middle of Lockdown. I've noticed the invisable thing to be character-specific.
Ontopic:
Want: Guild hall upgrade. 'nuff said.

man-able turret
DO WANT:
- Some man-able turret at certain points. Like the one that you have to pay energy to active in some Aurora Isles level I don't remember but you can control the aim of fire.You can mount it and fire rapidly to fend off some waves, could act like a full auto-autogun (without stop and reload but less damage).
TRENCH DEFENDER STYLE. Effectively turn you to short time machinegunner with slightly more dps than average but drastically more AWESOMENESS. Basically, a refresher from repetitive run. And of course energy price for activation is reasonable (say 3 or 5). It's like rocking car in the theme park, you pay for it to play a while for fun but you cannot bring it with you (only help fight off monsters around that area). Speaking of the fun!

Re: Turrets
Usable turrets would be awesome in some different lockdown levels. Let players use them to try to defend capture points/critical passes.
There could be different types of turrets, laser turrets or rapid fire turrets. I don't know how I feel about the idea in the clockworks but, for something like lockdown it would be great fun.

Personally...
This is by far the best MMO I have ever come across and I desperately want to see it improve to become even better :) OOO, you guys are awesome, but please, listen to your fans/customers. People will spend their money more readily just playing the game they love (which is even being constantly expanded upon), than if everything was ridiculously priced just for a chance to get something good (eg: Shadowy things, shiny Silvery things).
Now, my wishlist:
1. Free CE to everyone who's name starts with "Void", just to fill that abysmal void in their little blue bar :D
2. Pets would be pretty cool, sure make them reasonably expensive but at a CERTAIN expense, I don't want to have to go through 5000 "Chrome" boxes just to get a pet budgie.
3. Finished equipment lines (Come on, imagine a five star Stun gun :D)
4. Upgradable guild halls
5. Colour changing (Maybe customisable eye colour as well)
6. Purchasable, set priced accessories, just so that we can look how we want to (Think Skyrim) and if it's expensive, we can spend days working towards it (Heck, maybe even throw money at you ;) )
7. More love for the Skelly armour tree ;)
8. More Love Puppies <3
9. More Love :)
UN-wishlist:
1. Bank (Too complicated)
2. Dual-wielding (Too complicated)
3. A reversion from a PURELY F2P game to a "Must pay to fully enjoy the game, even if you've been playing for years" game. That would just break my heart.
...
...
...
Oh, and
4. The whole gambling principle of the game. It sucks. Truly. And it teaches the kids bad, bad things.
And erm... well that's about it at the moment :)

Do not want:
Pets.
Another shadow key incident. What I mean by is caving in on community pressure. Either set the price high or set the price low... dropping the price like that severely reduced my interest in spending more money on this game.
Dual wield - focus on making existing gimp swords better.
Vehicles.
Anything involving accessories.

Wishlist:
1- More weapons, more guns, more bombs, I like them..
2- Actually fix the movement speed bonus to do something.
3- Finish some Weapon lines: Come on, it's a recolor away fom here, you know it.
4- More bosses. We have a wolver boss, a Turret boss, a Jelly boss and a zombie boss.
Now where's our Gremlin boss? Our fiend boss? our lumber boss, our salamander boss, etc etc? Imagine the awesome of that.
5- shadow keys back to NPCs
6- More accessories. Yeah, I like them.
7- A bigger server. Now if you'd open a donation site where i can give you something to buy a fresh new server which doesn't need a reboot everyday, I'd give you money. I really would. And I wouldn't want CE in exchange. Just.. buy a new server..
Un-Wishlist:
1- unboxing stuff. really.
That's all, the game is great how it is. I'd love seeing you improve it.

Re: Bosses
"4- More bosses. We have a wolver boss, a Turret boss, a Jelly boss and a zombie boss. Now where's our Gremlin boss? Our fiend boss? our lumber boss, our salamander boss, etc etc? Imagine the awesome of that."
There is such a limited number of gates open I believe something like this would need at least 2 more active gates. A new tier 1 boss as well as a new tier 3 boss would be great but only if there was enough room to accommodate them.

If they add more bosses then
If they add more bosses then they could make the boss strata's go in cycles. Example, 2 bosses for each tier(vana, jk, twins, snarby, bob t3, and joe t1, just to use names).
Active gates have JK, Vana, Snarby, and Twins. When JK cycles out one of the other 2 bosses would cycle in. Just make sure there is always a boss for each Tier active and you will always have bosses appropriate for whatever Tier the players are capable of.

I want "armor brushes" I
I want "armor brushes" I think these would be new accessory's that you would use to apply to armor to change the color.
This would stop people from limiting themselves to one color scheme, it would allow more customization and someone who prefers lets say...
Proto-Gear. Could make their armor all Black, or all Red or the helm blue and the armor red. This customizing feature would be fun and revitalize the lockbox system.

Absolutely love 2 of Bloodfetish's ideas.
-a survival room, fight till u die, scoreboard for most kills, longest survivor.
The enemies slowly increase in difficulty, what shows up and what status they can inflict is random. Gear out for what you're worst against!
-Elevator malfuntion, end up in a hidden level instead of the expected one.
And that could have incredibly interesting possibilities, could create special lucrative (and hopefully hard) floors for it, weird themed floors (castle is on fire, fight through it quickly before you're consumed by the flames. If the entire party is consumed by the flames you're kicked to the next floor and don't get the goodies at the end. :D)

I thought of something
I thought of something similar to the elevator malfunction before, instead of going where you intend, you get derailed and sent into a Gremlin trap floor.
I see it jelling with Gremlin's style very well and the type of trap rooms could be interesting. They're experienced with the elevator system so it is a surprise they haven't tried anything like that before. It'd be a good chance to give Gremlins more face time.
As for a survival room... I'd rather see an infinity mission. The Swarm would be perfect candidates for something like that. Fighting through a different types of stages that are stuck together in odd ways. A castle turns to a forest turns to a graveyard. Whatever works. You're ranked on how many floors you can make it through. Obviously elevator costs would have be to nonexistent, which would mean enemies couldn't really drop heat or crowns, which works for the Swarm already.
Still, I think this is an UN-wishlist. A lot of good ideas already exist out there on the suggestion forums.

Hmmm...
Don't Want:
1) Lottery everything (shadow keys, accessories) Though it is for profit, it just annoys me that end-game content is being dangled in our faces, but we need to pay a couple dollars' worth of real or in-game currency to get to it.
2) Unbalanced Lockdown teams, they need to implement some sort of equipment statistic system for balance.
Do want:
1) Purely cosmetic pets, because fighting with a pet is cowardly. Fight the monsters yourself, don't get your portable rocket puppy pet to blow them all up.
2) More armor/shields-preferably a better-looking shadow shield than the dread skelly shield, which looks a bit liked a smashed trilobite painted purple. Crest of Almire is a bit too expensive to acquire.
3) A 5* spur line sword
4) Buffs to give the irontech and big angry bombs a point.
5) More shadow weapons.

I agree with everything
I agree with everything Bloodfetish said as well as the various comments about upgraded weapon lines. +2!
1. Finish up some of the weapon lines, specifically wrenches, wands, and thwack hammers. I personally would really like a 5* thwack hammer.
2. More guild customization. I'm not even in a guild and I think that this is a must.
Would love to see a 5* Winmillion. No weapons should have limited progression.
Guilds are so... bare. Access to the auction from inside the guild would be awesome. Even something simple like various exits to the arcade, bazaar, or the main town would make the guild hall not totally pointless.
