if you haven't seen the thread that shows you sneak peeks of the cool new battle sprites.................... it is too late

the link he attached to show you pics was blocked by the admins.

after seeing them, my mind is full of what if's

whats colors do they come in, how big are they, how many choices can we pick from, how many can we get............

I've seen a cool Dragon, a girly kitten with wings, and an ominous ghost like goat, they all look pretty awesome

if you have a suggestion on what kind of pet you would like or even a description of a cool made-up animal you would like to partner with

*post here*

.....

What about yours?

Also, we know nearly NOTHING about how they work gameplay wise. There's also spoilering via you-know-what.

And finally, there's a competition for designing them.

My guess

My guess of how they work is that when you attack, they attack with you using elemental, shadow, or piercing damage.

I personally woulds like to see an...

ARMORED WAR SNIPE!

Game play

i don't really know how they help you in the game, but foreshadowing suggest that they either go into battle with you or they battle each other
( like how players battle each other)

Softhead

Yes, but we can't suggest anything due to lack of

detail, balence and other factors.

Competitions, eh.

the pic

The last pic from a wiki page makes me think we command the sprites

Well, why would they be

Well, why would they be implemented if they wouldn't battle with us XD

...We do, but as I repeat again and again,

We have limited knowledge on attacks, how balenced they are, where they are used, how the accessing missions work and how this changes gameplay differently. There is also the fact that is non sprite users at a disadvantage.

All I know, each focus on either aggressive, defensiveness or Supportive. Each have a tier variant and T3 is when what ever 3 skills affect how they look. You can hotkey the attacks.

As I said, still limited.

@Cataracts

As enemies, like Silkwings(Enemies need them as well).

sprites

As far as I'm concerned, sprites would be like mechanic knights but wit a twist:
-they will never get too far away from the knight (maximum 2 blocks)

-they will have independent attacks from the User but will aid or help him if taking too much damage.

-they can also take damage from monsters just like mechanic knights and they will eventually die if they took too much damage.

And that is all thee is to it.

All I know is the dragon

All I know is the dragon represents striker archetype, the cat represents guardian archetype, and the goat ghost represent an LD class that is recon.

I wonder if they've decided on LD having BS.

All I know, is that the game will go to Firestorm and Beyond.

my 2 cents

If you haven't read the Thread about it or haven't searched for it here's the info on Battle Sprite:

They don't die

They don't attack, you command them

They level up

They have harnesses with different attack type for each battle sprite (elemental/shadow for Drakon, Piercing/elemental for Seraphynx (mew) and Shadow/elemental for Maskeraith)

Each Sprite will have a favorite material which you can feed him to level faster (note that Nick said this is fastest way to level a Sprite)

The picture you have seen are fully upgraded Sprite

They don't take weapon or trinket slot

You can have more than one Battle Sprite

The Battle Sprite will be given to you via missions when you first enter Haven and you will have to do the missions if you are already at Haven to get the Sprites

Maybe more info has been out but that's all I gathered so far
