Will you choose the Drakon, who resembles a dragon and delivers powerful, fiery blasts to your foes? Will you choose the adorable Seraphynx, the angel kitten, who attacks its enemies with elemental attacks? Or will you choose the Maskeraith, a shadowy and toxic wraith.
I think I am choosing the Maskeraith.
i'm choosing Bulbasaur!
On a serious note, choosing Maskeraith of course. U_U
I'll choose... nothin'.
Battle Sprités are not relased yet, but i already think, that using dat is paying without style.
I wanna game harder, more interesing. Not easier.
Then don't use one. Simple, right?
Want hard mode? Do challenge runs with worse gear.
I have one that I've yet to complete: Solo Vana without losing any health at all.
Here's another: Ironman the entire FSC. Lose no health at all.
There's hard mode. You just gotta put up the challenges on your own.
Drakon all the way. if OOO adds a Ogre like Battle Sprite, then i want that.
As they are all equally adorable in my eyes, I will be making my decision on a purely mechanical basis. Assuming it's possible, when the update hits, I plan to do a few runs alongside people who already have the sprites, and choose whichever one I believe complements my style.
The divine Seraphynx resembles an angelic cat-like creature and uses its luminous powers to defend the party from attacks. It's a fine choice for knights who wish to aid their fellow party members.
I wonder what would happen in a shadow lair with 4 people who have Seraphynx maxed with the best defense ability.
Easy mode activated.
Keep in mind that we'll get a chance to try all the sprites before we choose our first
Will they follow us around in Haven/perched on our shoulders like little parrots?? But i agree with Mtax...they better buff monsters.
Chose one but dont use its abiltiies :P They'll only make things easier if you let them.
I'm gonna choose Seraphynx. Name her Ahri. Then feed it spark of life whenever it dies. Muahahaha
There can only be one option.
MASKERAITH, I choose YOU!
/e cues dramatic Spiralmon battle music.
From what I'm hearing, Seraphynx got most support, followed by Drakon and Maskeraith.
I agree with this assessment. The only interesting game mechanics seem to be in Seraphynx. Plus it's cute. :)
I'm upping my prestige just in case it is linked to the 7-up...
I mean sprite... Dunno which one I will choose between Drakon and Seraphynx
Maskeraith to start out with, but it'll probably get replaced by a more uber1337 one soon that came from the inevitable promo.
That extra defensive boost :)
With T3 Kats and Devilites this sprite seems to fit the job since it can use Piercing and Elemental harnesses.
I'm assuming the passive defensive ability will still be active even when dead. It might give players incentive to keep me in the party *sniff*. All that cuteness might provide a good distraction. I KNOW I DIED like a HUNDRED times... BUT LOOK AT MY SPRITE its SO CUTE! OHHH MMMM GEEE! All is good in the world :)
You might as well solo whole of FSC with no shield and 3 of you weaps 1*
Agree with Mtax.
Aren't they suppose to make it challenging?
Considering the nerfs, it seems stupid to add them when the game is easy.
I'm choosing Seraphynx because it assists party members and it is elemental and piercing.
"I'm choosing Seraphynx because it assists party members and it is elemental and piercing."
Where does it say that?!
Where does it say that?!
I got the it assists party members part from Nick's announcement and I got the it is elemental and piercing from a Battle Sprites information thread.
I choose Oshawott
Actually I choose Maskeraith or Seraphynx
Wouldnt it be cooler to have a clone of yourself running around with u!!!!!!!!!! INSTEAD OF A MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where did a Game Master say it does piercing and elemental? I didn't see that.
yes it is pointless to add battle sprites when the game is already easy to begin with
I think the devs said something about balancing that out.
If you think the game is "easy" you havent tried an SL run in proto gear yet.
I will have to try them before I decide... most likely I will choose one on either end of the spectrum. In other words, either a fighter, or a protector. I like the sound of Drakon, but the Maskeraith sound cool too. We shall see.
For those complaining that the game is too easy, prove it, please come help me beat mission 9-1 The Silent Legion. For me, Fiends are very hard. Perhaps it's lack of skill, perhaps it's poor equipment. Whatever the reason, if you are out there and you think this game is a pushover, please join me and carry me through The Silent Legion. If the game is truly easy, you should have no problem. Post your name and what time you play if your interested. Thanks.
Reward for completing The Silent Legion with me: 2000 crowns.
Other that Lag, forced difficulty(ie, restrictions set upon yourself), and fiends(Thank the lord for the lack of nerfing) Most of the stuff is easier compared to 2011.
Wolvers? NERF.
Greavers? NERF(Not as bad).
Retrodes? NERF.
Zombies? NERF.
JK? Nerf(Hidden via mechanics change.)
You said it yourself: "the game is easy" Are you generalizing or what? Mission set 1 is easy in ANY gear (could be done easily without any protection). A tough fiend floor is considerably more difficult. Fighting Seerus is quite tough as well, especially solo. The daily danger mission are tough. I would imagine that the shadow lairs are tough.
My point is this: if the whole game is easy, then you should be able to go through every level/mission/etc with normal weapons and gear.
If you have triple max everything, with wicked trinkets and the best loadout for any given level, then you are making the game easy by using powerful equipment. Most games you play will be considerably easier with the most powerful equipment available.
@Everyone
Join me on my quest to defeat 9-1, and show me what a real player looks like. Please bring at least 1 triple max item.
I think these Sprites will be tons of fun, and I look forward to using them! I just hope they are not too cumbersome to use in battle. Plus there is something to be said for playing games that allow you to own everything in sight. Why else would I farm BL2 for orange and purple weapons?!
What's so hard about asking a friend to help you? You'd actually pay a random person 2k, just because you can't handle this mission? And trust me, you don't need triple-max gear for it.....
/sigh
The disillusioned players of today.....
:c
Kaisu-Dragon, youll have to invite me.
somewhere in 7:00PM - 12:00 AM most weeknights.

@Immortous: First, I don't have a lot of friends. Second, I was sorta ranting... and sorta wondering how people can say the game is sooo easy. Third, the triple max line was to get the uber knights who think they are all that to join me (2k is to cover the pride of said knight who looks down on anyone asking for help in such an easy game). I was not implying that the mission is so hard it needs triple max to win. I sat in the waiting room on that mission for a very long time waiting for someone to join, but no one is doing this mission anymore.
@Softhead: Yes, normally I do solo runs. The number of friends I have is pathetic, and I often don't feel like asking them for help (most of them are lower level knights anyway. I tend to friend the new players who need help on low levels). I'm not in a guild, and I have no way of knowing which guild would be a good fit, nor do I really want to pay guild fees for upkeep of said guild.
them all, and i care only a bit about the cosmetics anyway, so i will not even upgrade mine until people have more detailed info on the upgrade system
Isn't it better to play with a group(ie some nice Fourmers? I mean you're doing it now anyway). Even then, there game used to be harder, even with a group.
I'm choosing Seraphynx due to the cute factor... that and it'll go perfectly with my outfit that has a Mewkat pocket!
I'm gonna feed it Celestial Ore, Sun Silver, Silverweave, and Philoso Feather mats. :D
