For example Chaos Cloak (MY FAVORITE), Divine Mantle CANNOT have front accessories WHERE-AS Grey Feather Mantle can?! Why is this?? That's not very cool. You tell Boswick to start working out the solutions in the detail why Nick appoints his dev team too help Address or fix this!!

Now I know this might be moved to Suggestions and I'm going to make that not happen by doing this:
((Sorry Eury for crushing your dreams of moving this thread cuz i know you love taking your time in working out others misunderstandings))

------What do you guys think about this? Do YOU think there are other armors that may have an issue like this? Or was it deliberate???

Skolver Coat

Both Vog and Snarby can take auras, but Skolver can't. Wassup with that?

I wish the spookat mask could

I wish the spookat mask could take accessories, its a modified wolver after all. Plume and vertical vents fit it (in spiralspy)

Yes! +1

I agree I was excited when they released heart aura's for 4.95 but was quite dismayed when I couldn't attach it to my Skolver :c

well...

I know the problem on both yours..

--[[SEE POST BELOW ON THIS TOPIC]]--
Skolver: If you notice the back; it glows not much but the coat itself glows for another example: The same reason why Grey feather Cowl doesnt take front helm accessories is because it has built in glow eyes..
--[[SEE POST BELOW ON THIS TOPIC]]--^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Spookat mask: They were special promotions and were deliberately made so no accessories can go with it (discussed this with a Dev awhile back.)

But the chaos cloak vs. grey feather mantle has me stuck... i preview both as same time. ones not bigger than the other... they are THE SAME but different layout... DEV OR GM answer me...: WHHHYYYY!!!!

Flamaxe

Awww, I wish they made it so

Awww, I wish they made it so it would over write the shine aura when you equip a aura accessory... But Vog has Flame aura on it's boots but I don't think that counts...

And I have no idea why divine veil does not have front accessory slot @_@

EDIT-I meant back sorry @_@

Good point

Flamaxe that is a very valid point on your vog statement! If we could just keep this post maybe we can start a debate or maybe one of the devs will happily answer our questions!

as for the divine veil... there is silly goose :P'

Almost all the other

Almost all the other promotional masks take accessories (prime bombhead, steam knight, metal sonic, stranger, chapeu but not santy hats).
/sad

As for skolver already having an aura.. ash tail has an aura too

another

Thats another valid Point!!! Sheesh more than i thought! i just want the chaos cloak to get a front armor accessory... the skolver aura situation is interesting

The way I hear it, they can't

The way I hear it, they can't take accessories because the skins are prebuilt using the accessory slot to make the particulars of the item in question. Instead of building a new framework for the spookat mask, for example, they glued stuff onto the wolver mask, which already had stuff glued on it from a more basic frame...probably the bucket helm or something. In essence, when we attach an accessory to an item, we're using dev tools.

Oh, the frustration.

As a Chaos Mystic, I am most disappointed that you can not have a front accessory on the Chaos Cloak.
I have an accessory in mind, that I anticipate for the future, that I would like to stick on it, but unfortunately I am currently unable to.

Skolver doesn't have an aura

Skolver doesn't have an aura slot beacause it has that built-in shiny thing going on. Vog doesn't have a built-in aura since the feet have more of a glow or animation, rather than a full-body effect.
Santy hats couldn't have accessories beacause they eventually expire, same reason as the disguises.
I want to know why deadshot has a front slot but no back and all the other gunslinger armors have just a back slot and no front.

I would like Skolver to have

I would like Skolver to have aura. I will not accept the Skolver having a build in shiny thing as an excuse as to why it doesn't because Deadly Virulisk Suit has a build in poison aura and still accepts auras! Actually.. I could accept that reason but I am just trying to get aura slots to be added to Skolver line since all other wolver lines accept it. >.> But then I believe Deadly Virulisk should lose its aura slot if Skolver can't have it. D:

http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Deadly_Virulisk_Suit

even shows that it accepts auras. Now as soon as I can find another player wearing one its poison effect is much more noticeable than the Skolver slight shine effect that all Divine items have.

-Edit-
Got two screenshots atm.. Its very hard to get a good screenshot because its so fast. The best thing would be you to go look at someone wearing the armor in inspect themselves. Thank you for helping me with the screenshots Vokster.

and (I was too slow, all there is to show is the last bit of poison mist fading away with some more poison drip D:)

If any of you try using

If any of you try using SpiralSpy you will see that any accessory can be used on any equipment (and even multiple accessories per slot). So I assume the limitations are there just because, and there is no technical reason why they cant.

How about the opposite

How about the opposite problem? There's no reason at all for a top slot on the jelly crowns, and yet there is anyway.

Yes! Please make the skolver

Yes! Please make the skolver accept auras. Im holding onto one I really want to use, but skolver coat doesnt have the slot like all the rest of the wolver line.

Tangent!

As more of a tangent, I wish OOO would also fix some of the clipping issues with accessories. The main one I can think of is the Wide Vee on my Heavenly Iron Helm. The clipping is really noticeable and annoying.

you want to talk about armors

you want to talk about armors that is missing accessory slots look no further than the gunslinger sets you cant use half of the available accesorys on these armor sets. It pisses me right off all i want to do is add a feather to my hat or you know a halo! RAGE! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Also why cant we add accessorys to the costume mask the halloween ones i mean how does that make any senses.Answer it doesn't

Thats another thing why cant

Thats another thing why cant I delete or sell the halloween masks to the vendors for 1 crown like any other costume item? I got 3 of each takeing up space, only need one of each.

I've noticed the same thing

I've noticed the same thing on the 2 star spiral plate helm, which does not accept front accessories, while the 4 star heavy plate helm (which looks exactly the same) does.

IMO, they should just leave all accessory slots open on all armors and leave it to us to decide what looks good. I mean, why not?

I support the general

I support the general consensus in this thread, and would like to add to Traevelliath's point on clipping issues. Certain gear should have custom placements for accessories due to their unusual size, the jelly crowns come to mind. Another thing that bothers me is the little pouch on the back of wolver-line coats, I refuse to put any sideblades on any of my coats until it is removed.
