This is just a short list of some things I think would make good / fun additions. I don't know if anyone has suggested these before; if so, sorry.

1. More achievements! It's been almost a year since there was a single new achievement added. There are so many other possible achievements. Why not add a few more?

2. Some sort of special ability for the knight, which can be chosen and upgraded just like weapons or armor, that can be used a set number of times per clockworks level, maybe even just a single time per level depending on the ability's power. Maybe area of effect attacks, healing your friends, attack buffs, things like that.

3. A shield costume slot! We can have costume helmets and costume armor, why not costume shields? It would make it much easier to finish out particular costume looks while still being able to equip the shield that's right for what you're fighting.

4. New monsters. I'm getting kind of bored, to be honest. I know new monsters have been added into some of the danger missions, but I would love to see them available in the regular clockworks as well. And some new monster classes might be awesome too, but if not, there are so many more options for new types of monsters in the already extant monster classes.

5. New damage types? Along with new monster classes, maybe we could add in a new damage type. This would also allow for diversification of weapons.

6. The danger missions are awesome but what I really wish was if there was some option to add a danger mission into your regular clockworks run. No one wants to just do a danger mission when they could do an entire CW run with their friends, and doing a danger mission outside of the clockworks means you probably won't have enough energy to do a full CW run. It would be really cool if there were some option where if you are going down a gate, you could choose to add in the danger mission. Or maybe do the danger mission after Basil, just like dong a shadow lair. Increasing the crown output for danger missions would be nice, too.

7. Pets. I like the idea of having a cute clockworks animal that actually follows me around. Maybe even does a little damage for you on the side (a limited number of times per level, like the special ability idea I mentioned earlier?)

Like I said I don't know if anyone has mentioned these ideas before, and they are just a few things I think would add enjoyment to the game. If you don't like an idea that's fine by me but please don't bash.

too lazy to discuss everything

2. Area of effect attacks? get bombs. Attack buffs? make skolver. We dont need more power

4 and 5. Right now resistances/strengths are evenly distributed. We'd need a BIG expansion to keep the same level of balance

7. Buy monster pockets

i agree!

most of these ideas have been sugest hundreds if not a thousand times already. all of these compiled ideas are just sitting in the back of the sugestion forums, and is continuously being stacked up. i only hope the devs can uses these ideas in any of their content creation ideas and hopefully not twist it to make it very very expansive. oh well, im just saying all of the ideas you posted have been sugested before.

Why?!

Dude, think before you post things like this it's kinda no-brainer suggestions not to be rude. Plus danger missions are only for prestige. I think the suggestion won't be implemented into the game anyway.

...

"I don't know if anyone has suggested these before"

So use the search bar.

1. I'm sure they'll add more achievements when they add more content. As it stands, any achievements would have to be retroactive because the content has already been out.

2. "Maybe area of effect attacks, healing your friends, attack buffs, things like that."
"healing your friends,"
"healing"

No, no healing in this game. Besides, as Juances said, we don't need to be any stronger. We're already seerusly OP.

3. Don't really see why not.

4. New monsters will inevitably come out. If you want a new kind of monster, suggest a new kind of monster. Don't make a suggestion post saying "More Content OOO!". They know you want more content. But for new classes of monsters, no. The resistances/weaknesses are balanced atm.

5. Same reason as 4.

6. "No one wants to just do a danger mission when they could do an entire CW run with their friends,"

What? How about do a danger mission with your friends and have your cake and eat it too?

"Increasing the crown output for danger missions would be nice, too."

Oh, yeah, sure, we need more crown inflation.

7. Okay, you could have at least used the search bar for this one. It's been suggested a million times - and, unanimously, noo. Knight followers in the Missions were bad enough - having a pet would suck. Once again, as Juances said, they put in Monster Pockets for cosmetic pets.

Never using forums again

I'm sorry I even posted anything. From now on if I want to tell the developers something, I'll send them a private message. I forgot that the forums are only for people who like to complain about other peoples' legitimate ideas, and haters who like to bash instead of having constructive conversations. I'm so sick of all you pompous windbags who only know how to gripe drivel and drool your complaints instead of doing something useful with yourselves.

For all you people who keep saying "No this would suck, no that would suck," OBVIOUSLY IF SOMEONE HAS SUGGESTED IT, *SOMEONE* THINKS IT WOULDN'T SUCK!

/Pat, pat.

There there.

Everyone has it rough. Yet most of the posts were constructive, and not negative, to I'm just going to leave you for overreacting.

@Auroboros:

Wow, man. Take a chill pill.

I don't recall bashing, hating, or saying anything destructive in my post. I just listed why it would or wouldn't work.

...Yeah, I'm with Atrum on this one.

"For all you people who keep saying "No this would suck, no that would suck," OBVIOUSLY IF SOMEONE HAS SUGGESTED IT, *SOMEONE* THINKS IT WOULDN'T SUCK!"

Someone: singular. Also Think: Believe. A single person believing something is good =/= to the idea actually being good. I thought of Sniper rifles. Sniper rifles are cool. I also realized Sniper rifles would completely suck. I discarded Sniper Rifles.

"I forgot that the forums are only for people who like to complain about other peoples' legitimate ideas, and haters who like to bash instead of having constructive conversations. I'm so sick of all you pompous windbags who only know how to gripe drivel and drool your complaints instead of doing something useful with yourselves."

I'm not sure I...what?

You already said these ideas may/may not have been suggested before. The better half had, and were already shot down months ago, logically and rationally.

"I'm so sick of all you pompous windbags who only know how to gripe drivel and drool your complaints instead of doing something useful with yourselves."

You posted before...when?

I just thought it wouldn't get the developer's attention

@Auroboros
I didn't say it suck. I just say it wasn't well thought through. If you see all the additions in SK it's seems kinda pointless (Expect pets I thought it would be cool). If you PM something like this it won't get the developer's attention at all and they would ignore it. I don't think it suck. Just if you have thought about it a bit more. You could have came up with a better suggestion which would have got our support. Don't blame us.

This is friendly advice for future posts that you make.

Is it just me or is no-one in

Is it just me or is no-one in this world good at taking even constructive critisism? Seems to be a crippling part of their life.
That must be a lot of the reason for a lot of rage early on in people's experiences with forums; because they want something and they can't handle people discussing it with them and saying it's not a good idea. It's probably also why you get a lot of people avoiding the forum altogether and saying "all the childish people use forums".

Although this is a tad on the mean side, it's so terribly true:
"Lemme break it down for you like this since you don't seem to understand: this is called a "forum" which means it is for discussions. If you just want to complain 'bout something without people expecting to discuss it, put it on a blog. This is not a blog. It is a forum. For discussions. It's not a one-way-street-type deal, 'kay?"
