I agree to this.
Updated: "Petition" towards OOO: Let old knights created before this patch redo the character creation. You know what I mean OOO
The size of the company betting its chips on a game is inversely proportional to the chances of any suggestions being considered by its developers. It has nothing to do with the number of developers, how busy they are, how many fans there are, how focused their voice is, how respectable or literate they are, or their ability to directly contact the developers. This is the trend I've observed.
I actually don't care that strongly either way about this initiative, but it's certainly not a bad idea. This should've been implemented long ago, or even with the release of missions. FAIL @ Sega.
8 Pages and still OOO ignores it? wow...
Ignore the petition they said
It will die they said
I've also updated the OP.
Pft, I'm way more pissed than you guys. I paid like 100k to pimp out my proto helmet (I look like a gundam :D) and now you can do it for FREE!
To be honest, perhaps that's why thay don't hand this out. They don't wanna try to pay me back for stuff I already bought, or give me new things to put on different helmets.
They took too long. That's what's making it worse.
It's complicated.
OOO is probably to scared to answer our say. Maybe their hiding under their desk coming up with desperate promos ._.
i would just like an apology. You screwed up and you dont want to admit it. is it that hard to say, "im sorry"?
I wouldn't be so harsh, but I do agree that they are not choosing the best way to address this.
This thread is hilarious.
"They're screwing over older players"
You've lost nothing. New players get up to two Helm accessories, Eyes and a Height Modifier, if they so choose. It's all cosmetic. New players are not receiving preferential treatment. They just came at the right time. Imagine if new players made a 8+ rage thread asking OOO to rerelease the Rose Regalia events because they "are screwing new players over"?
@Canine-Vladimir
LOL, I can't imagine what they'd be scared of. Eight pages of "we jelly" has no real effect on OOO. Maybe if a significant portion of the playerbase stopped paying and playing they might. Or, you know, if this "mistake" of theirs had any effect on gameplay or progression. Additionally, you don't deserve an apology because OOO has done nothing to you. New players get a minor cosmetic advantage? Is that really a big enough deal to demand an apology? "I'm sorry you came too early to the game and missed out a few things new players enjoy?".
I'm not a programmer but I'd imagine being able to recreate your character would be difficult. When people were raging over being able to change your player colour they suggested similar things, but the Personal Colour Paint was much better. How would you even suggest they make it so that older players can touch some of the unbridled privilege new players flaunt at you all day?
I really don't know how their going to adress this topic but I at least hope they try, puts some faith in OOO back in for me.
But nonetheless Id like to see these changes as a possibility if not already going to be done.
if for no other reason than I'm kind of tired of OOO wooing people to spend more money and not listening to the people who already have spent money.
Ysser, while you may not care for cosmetic things, others do. And this is not a promo that new players get, as opposed to them wishing for a chance at a PROMO.
Edit: Quietly shoving thiiiis in front again... :>
But tbh, I have no issue with it. It would certainly be quite a treat, but no rush.
Not because I want an interesting proto armor, but because I'd like to see whether OOO is willing to take into consideration of player requests.
I'm still waiting for the promised changes to Iron Slug.
+1
But:
1. I'd like to see my Proto Armor as a Costume.
2. I'd like to redo the Rescue Camp Mission w/o wasting time creating a new knight(no offense on anyone)
3. Same Reason.
Hmm, I see. Well yeah, I presume you could choose not to do that mission?
I joined Spiral Knights not too long ago, though I have to say that veterans deserve the new start content just as much as I do. They deserve it even more as I do, as they found and played the game much earlier and much longer than i did so far. Forbidding them the access to new content because of this seems complete nonsense to me.
I sign up.
I still would like to have a tall hieght mod. Anyway I'm not buying it until I get a NO form OOO or we are allowed to chose. As a matter of fact, I don't even care about the color or the accessories. I only want to change my height.
Not gonna break my heart if we don't get this, but I would certainly like it.
I think we got less than 5-10 -1s and about 250-300 +1s.
So, OOO...
We're the minority. Forums aren't a estimate of our community.
OOO needs to have a survey.
Maybe instead of The normal RC missions, we can have t3/Danger missions/SL difficulty versions with a more harder version of raz.
I'm signing too.
I would love to be able to do what every starter after the update did.
We're the first one, I think we deserve the same treatment as the newcomers!
Now we have a reason to bring it up, and one hell of a good one. Read the OP.
Accessories and eyes we can duplicate with cr, but proto styles? C'mon, OOO.
Sucks that i had to pay for eyes and shortened hight just because im not new..
And im not ashamed to say but ive spent ALOT of money on this game as im sure a few others have as well. And this pisses me off.
No spoilers please. If you wish to discuss something that was seen on the testing server, please do so in the testing feedback section of the forums. Any information fished out of the game files or spiral spy should not be discussed on the forums.
Please don't protest about future content, because you do not have all the information surrounding those items. Thank you!
And then the admin waltzes in after eight pages and tears the place apart.
Fasten your seatbelt folks.
When I first saw the announcement I was a little peeved, but then I got over it when I saw the accessories offered were pretty common. I have a fully accessorised Spiral Sallet which looks far better than I could make on Character Creation.
Whenever a new tutorial for a game gets released, know what I do? Make a new alt, play through the tutorial then quit and delete the alt if you can, or never use it again. Simple. You've still experienced it. And unless you're going to accessorise the helmet for costume, (I would say armour but there are much better ones available) you won't be needing the gear you start with. If you chose "ugly" armour, that's your own fault, but there is the Volt/Fire/Ice breaker series of armour which offers as a neat substitute.
As for eyes and height, if you've been playing long enough you can afford those within a few Vanaduke runs easily. Neither of those offer significant advantage to the game - it's more of a luxury which nobody really notices unless someone inspects you or has a look on the player lineup at the end of a Tier or mission.
And if new proto armour's getting released soon, let the newbies have it. If it looks good though I hope another "breaker" set gets released as a substitute.
Still agree, nothing's changed except my height changed from the last time I posted here.
(3 is my lucky number =))
Anyways, I totally agree. *Imitates grand-dad's voice* When I was your age in Spiral, we didn't have all of those facny-smancy accessories, eyes, and height modifiers. We were all like peas in a pod. It ain't fair sonny
Something's wrong with my "Hot Bod" Mod. Can you fix it?
