Yes, I know it'd be really hard to do all this and blah blah blah, let's get it going.

I'll start it out with:

Lockdown lobby

Create your own custom Lockdown game!
You can disable UVS, auto-target (not that I care, but it'd stop all the AT bitching), up to five pieces of gear, certain maps, and you only need
4 minimum players (maximum of 12). You can also disable the clock, so it is endless.
Toll is 100 cr/minute per person, 2000 crown starting fee for the person that starts it. You can play for as long as you like.

I have some more ideas, but I just wanted this one to start out.

NOTE: This is only half a suggestion box, so I shall not move it Suggestions.

Edit: nevarmend.

How about get Sega and OOO to rename themselves?

Three Rings can rename themselves into OOOO (Four Rings!) while Sega can be renamed to Laga.

EDIT: Jk, Jk. I want OOO to:

-Give us the old UI option
-New boss
-New challenge
-New PvP mode
-Reduce upkeep price :3
-Open the lab already
-Better community

That wonderful Smile is gone for Eternity

An Undead type boss that wears dead Knockers like a kilt. She shall throw Bombie heads, charge like a Vana, and wield a lance that the player can get if they pick up enough Gremlin skulls (a new Token that can also drop from Gremlins).

EDIT: If you want something that's a bit more serious, then a half dozen more shadow weapons, preferably some with status effects.

@Grimranger

Ya, cause u know we got a thousand people playing LD so we can customize LD, so we can all play with whatever customizations we want......

Please.. Please think before posting suggestions.. You know what will happen if ur dumb suggestion is put into play? It will become like the people trying to play tier 1 Lockdown.. wait for Hours to get games. Is THAT what you are suggesting?

You know what go ahead, I bet OOO will support this stupid suggestion, please customize LD! ruin the only semi-decent thing left to the game.. PLS go ahead.

Edit: I read you toll part, but sorry that will not counter the 20-100 people who still play LD into 4-5 unique customized games.

Well realistically, I can't really tell you. Like, yeah, we all want things, but you'd have to look at where the game is and what it really needs, the bigger picture.

Right now, we've got the massive battlesprite business going down, and if I were developing the game, I'd probably tell the art team/programmers to fix some stuff up, namely a promotion from the art team, and possibly some bug fixes/iron slug mechanics from the programmers. Then, I'd focus on finding out how the update I just made, that is, the battle sprites/unspeakable extras that lock posts, were impacting the game.

I'd probably also at some point do something more with the bash mechanic that was released... I cannot help but feel that it is lacking... I think that different shields should have different effects on the bashing, so I'd probably give all of them varying knockback and status effects.

Then, when I was satisfied with the mechanics of my game, I'd make a level editor for players to use. Or well, release a level editor. The programmers etc. could probably start on that long before I was 100% happy with how the game worked.... but I really think that player generated content could be exceptionally worthwhile.... because like, think about it, all of the awesome new games have the coolest gimmicks, but harken back to older games in huge ways as well... Spiral Knights looked promising on this, and to some extent delivers... but it could take this theme to the next level BIG TIME with a level editor. And that's my 2 cents on "what the devs should do". They seem on top of it for the most part... fugly UI aside.

They allow 'bitching' in PG movies/TV.
Plus, don't nerf sealed sword's speed, buff troika's so that it's equal to sealed sword.

Well then.......

Potato
A new altered story in which after you beat the RTs they were actually a decoy for an even bigger project which destroys most of Haven, so you, some other knights, and important knights escape through the arcade, harness some dark power and take back Haven and destroy the giant robot that destroyed Haven and soon you discover at the core there is a solar map of the space and you and some other real people Vanguards go after getting the map to a new planet with lots of beasts and different types of creatures and 6-10 star stuff and stuff and you soon go to other planets after you get to the core of that planet and go to moar planets.

Although I still want the potater.

I must

make an OP as hell Fiend boss open only to people with all the 5 star items.

He spawns devilites the rate that Black Kats spawn zombies, he has 30% resistances to all damage types and an immunity against shadow. His attack is an instant death cup throw, and there are 2 trojan respawn pads. He is immune to all statuses, and reflects back 20% of all damage done to him. Oh yeah, did I mention that all his minions are invinsible unless you set them asleep with ZE SLEEP VIAL.

When you kill him you will get 800000 crowns in exchange for upping the CE prices by 1000.

This may or may not have been a troll idea

Sat, 07/13/2013 - 09:26

#38

Grimranger

Why do people want shield-bashing for guards in LD?
The dash is perhaps most useful to guardian (definitely more useful then for striker), and shield-bash would be the least useful for them.
Shield-bashing absolutely sucks.
It does 70 damage with a 5* shield (1 bar in LD), while taking massive damage from no invincibility frames.
For what? A stun which lasts 2 seconds?
Or would you rather dash up to an opponent while being invincible..your choice

Adding an option to switch between the old and the new UI <-THIS!!!

If OOO wants to keep new generic/mainstream UI as a default to lure generic MMO crowd, I'm ok with it, but at least introduce somewhere deep in options the ability to switch to old HUD/icons. It wouldn't be so difficult since the art is already done.
