I hate it when all my stuff ar lv.10 and then i've just got a lot of heat in a tier 3 arena. The sad thing is that non of my teammates need heat just like me............. it breaks my heart 2 see those heat go down the drain when i reach the end of the arena................

what i want is:

1.) Give heat a unit and show how many units of heat u need 2 level up each of ur stuff

2.) u can save ur heat after each level if all ur stuff ur wearing is lv.10

3.) those heat u have saved up will be in ur arsenal so can use them on any of the gears u want 2 level up

4.) u can sell/buy heat from the AH

P.S. It will also be great if there is an Alchemy Machine in the Clockwork Terminals.

I agree with most of this...

1) Yes! I feel this would be very useful - so far, when you get heat, you just see a swirl of orange at the bottom of the screen, and ther's no way to tell how much you have exactly, except by thinking, 'Oh, looks like a big swirl, I guess my Dusker Cap will be getting to level 8 soon'
2) I dunno...seems like this could be easily abused
3)Same as above ^^
4)No, sorry...once again, easily abused.

My suggestion, to add on to your first one, is so that you can drop heat for others, just like vials and vitapods. If the first suggestion were implemented, then you could ask for a specific amount of heat from others while in the Clockworks. (Because heat is already shared equally between everyone, you could make it so that giving heat will decrease the amount you get, and increase the amount someone else gets.)

Oh, and there was already a fairly recent topic about having Alchemy Machines in the Clockworks (I'm too lazy to find it and post its link, sorry)

That would defeat the purpose

That would defeat the purpose of bringing equipment down to level it up.

Whats wrong with wasting heat???
At the very most, just have heat as a way to temporarily overcharge a level 10 equipment

1.) That wouldn't be that

1.) That wouldn't be that useful. I love staring the heat bar and hoping it gets to the next level. With units it wouldn't be the same.

2.) Nope. Too exploitable.

3.) Same.

4.) DEFINITELY NO! This would make a HUGE, HUGE impact on SK's economy, can't you see? Tier 3 Vana soloers would keep their heat and start selling it, instead of gear. Gear market would turn scarce. New gear would easily get to lvl 10 making people reach end game much sooner. SK's community would get bored, leading to ppl quitting the game, UNLESS OOO makes new content really fast. It's how they say in my country: Rush is the enemy of Perfection (I dunno if americans have this saying too). Rushed content would be very poor. Poor content would make the game itself poor. Poor games DO NOT have a bright future... You see where I'm going right?

Best way not to waste heat, would be either have your heat going to your party or this:

Temporary UVs for maxed gear.

"Too lazy to play for

"Too lazy to play for heat?"
That translates to: Too lazy to play the game at all?

Even a 5* thing levels up in 3-4 full runs max (unless you try to level up everything at once, thats another story)
You have to be very impatient or like to waste money to buy heat.

No thank you. The worst part

No thank you.

The worst part is when you say that it should be tradeable. Why should someone even go to the clockworks.
