I think OOO should make a new type of accessory that is changes the way people move/walk (not in speed or anything). like a levitation accessory that allows players to float above the ground with 3 different heights, low, medium, high. walking would have a new accessory. And a trail/footsteps accessory that leaves behind markings where the player walks, There would be Volcanic footsteps, frozen footsteps, poison footsteps, heavy footsteps (normal footsteps), flaming footsteps, void trail (leaves behind a black line as wide as player with void particles coming out like in hidden passage) and snarbolax spike trail (makes small prismatic spikes come out of the ground behind the player as they walk)

please suggest some ideas for foot accessories

I think that would require a new accessory slot? Since it would be a bit ridicolous to make it armor front or back.

well

"new type of accessory" thats sort of saying there should be a new slot. i wasnt that clear though

One note of advice.

Don't argue pointless points with Asuka. Either admit you're wrong, or politely argue you're not. Don't argue you're right, then admit you weren't entirely correct.

He'll get mad.

i wasnt arguing i was just saying that i did say that but wasnt clear

/sigh

I don't mean LITERAL arguing. In simplistic terms, I mean defending yourself WHILE admitting you were incorrect/unclear.

And this only applies to a few other select forumers who tend to pick apart posts in a hostile manner. Self-contradiction and whatnot.

On topic, levitation will look weird with most traps.
Also I dont get how those different heights. Remember this is gonna be cosmetic. May lead to awkward situations and looks.

Remove medium/high and stick with just the 'low' one.

levitation wont look too

levitation wont look too wierd on traps because they wouldnt be too high, and yeah probably only just normal levitation. and btw footsteps and trails would disapear after a second or so.

It wouldn't be good as an accessory. If it's modifying your pose/model/animations instead of adding things onto your armour, it would be a usable item like the personal colours, eyes and heights. The footsteps would be tricky to add as an aura, so either yes, a new accessory slot that adds a particle effect to your armour's feet, or a usable one that does it for your knight.

Dagunner

well

its more it would look really wierd if you were hovering while waving your legs around and the trail would be in a feet accessory slot and not a aura. it could just simply work by leaving behind a Footstep image that has particles flying out. the spike is an animated 3d image that would be almost be like copying the snarbolax's attack but not with damage and allot smaller

@Asukalan

Sometimes people make absolutely horrible threads, and other times they're not so bad. Bluebrawler has made some terrible threads, but he's posted a few not so bad ideas in the past. There have been a few others who escape my memory at this point.

You should adress each thread as a different topic, and not take stabs at the person submitting them. There are certain exceptions to this, such as thread spam by the same user. But that is an infrequent occurance.

Actually,this isnt a bad idea.It could be doable.I mean,the vog cub coat has a sort of volcanic glow around the feet.Just make it a new accessory slot or perhaps make it an aura maybe?

Well I don't know about the levitating :/ I think it's cool but not for spiral knights.

But, I would definitely agree with the footsteps. That would be pretty cool.

Pressure Plates?

What about the fact of stepping on pressure plates to move to the next area? I think the idea is cool and all, but since pressure plates are usually triggered by weight "pressing down" on them, I don't think it would work.

@Merlinviolet

Pressure plates are only affected by knights (I can't understand why, the devilish drudgery section is the only place you need that feature) and Totems.

Dropped capsules, hearts, or crowns do not press on pressure plates, and certainly not particle effects.

Also, a knight's hitbox remains the same, regardless of whether his legs are touching the ground or not. Just like how you can hit a slag by shooting over its head.

What Dark Ritual?

NO, BIG FEET ARE MINE AND MINE ONLY. GOSH.

(In all Seerusness though, not a bad idea, but needs some work. I'd count this under Auras though.)

Good idea!

i like the trail idea, but not so much on the levitating. a new accessory slot sounds good. hope others like it too.

maybe not the levitation

maybe not the levitation then, but Trails and foot steps should definetely be implemented. and explosion trail? or would that be too laggy

small.

i would have to be very small explosion that its barely noticeable, but still good idea for the trail. there's already a trail like the ashtail armor.
