i thought this up in about a minute, but here it is anyway :P.
i don't wanna explain all the mechanics, so i'll just put a bunch of examples.

Offensive chip- a healthy snack that can feed an offensive sprite!
Defensive chip- a healthy snack that can feed a defensive sprite!
Strategic chip- a healthy snack that can feed a strategic sprite!

i play a 10-minute game of LD. i'm a striker for 5:00, a recon for 2:30, and a guardian for 2:30. i get an Offensive chip.

i obtain 500* Offensive chips. i get a special offensive sprite.
i obtain 500* Defensive chips. i get a special defensive sprite.
i obtain 500* Strategic chips. i get a special strategic sprite.

so, the class you play most in a match of LD determines the type of chip you get. certain chips feed certain sprites. getting lots of a certain chip gives you a new sprite.

*in total, you don't need to save up 500 all at once

mmm

1 don't talk about sprites until they are released.
2 this game is not only LD. PvE is something too.
3 no, ty. if it's just playtime, you can just get the points stuck in a tie for the rest of eternity. if it's for times played, I can just wait until the match is over, and with 10k cr I have a new sprite.

First, this works under 3 assumptions:
-OOO will classify sprites
-OOO will implement sprites on LD
-People will chose their sprites based on their LD classes. What if an offensive player, instead of getting more offensive, wants a defensive/strategy companion to balance his style?

Then, what will these chips do? I mean, you feed sprites and.... what?

What we already know:
Sprites are fed with mats. Different food means different abilities. You only provide one "chip" per "sprite type".
Your idea kind of clashes with what nick said.

I'd have no problem with

I'd have no problem with Lockdown exclusive sprites. You can get Lockdown exclusive weapons already. I don't think it'd be any different.
But, they should be crafted or exchanged with Mod Calibrators, Kromo Koins, or some new currency type, not gotten by forcing people to play certain classes.

Lockdown exclusive

It's called PvP, and there's a far more balanced game called Blast Network.

Anyway, the release of sprites unlockable via pvp action is likely... But so would SL based sprites as well.
If they're gonna milk us for $$$ then may as well go all out about it.
