Epic actions, rescue missions, sacrifice, loyality and fun with all of that.

I remember all those cool actions, for example in unknown passage when last gate opened, everyone ran toward elevator but one person got surrounded and died, and he was like "Go! Leave me, run for your life's!" and we were like "No! Noone left behind!" and we charged to get back to him and bring him back to elevator alive, or sometimes it was just me and i run, and revived my friend but sometimes i died and he was like "No, why did you do that? You died" and he started fighting back to me and i was like "No, run and live on, it was my choice". And they have left on the elevator to sanctuary.

Those were fun times. And now they are gone. Today its rev spam. Died? Pah auto rev. Died again? Bah, spark of life, bam spark of life. So empty and dull.

Agreed

I feel your ways. I remember my first time diving into candlestick keep. I was scared like the little noob I was. My entire team was down, telling me to get to the elevator. Being the heroic moron I was (reason for my name), I charged through the grimalkats, rescuing the 3*-4* leader, and revived the group. We fought our way through the horrendous ruined castle and reached the elevator just in time. I will miss the times of bravery and sacrifice.

Aye

The times when we would sacrifice everyone to save the one guy charging up the stairs just so he can carry us into the safety of the next level... Gives me shivers

Super Mecha Knights!

There is almost no in-game interaction between knights now. Everyone on your team is nothing but an advanced mecha knight now. Teams are too individual now. The point of a team is to be able to depend on eachother. The only reason I don't solo now is because I hate the silence of being alone. I don't see any other reason to party up other than having more firepower. Why do we keep losing ways to help other party members? We can't we can't drop vitas, lend pills or remedies, and we can't share our hp to rev a dead teamate. Why are we being forced to hog all of our stuff instead of sharing or trading them? Just because people who prefer to solo don't like having people begging them for help doesn't mean everyone else doesn't want to help!

um....

You can revive you party members though, though you use your own spark of life mat you can revive others. Just click on their icon on the left side of the screen and click revive. Though it's more pricey then just sharing health with how easy it is to get mass amounts of spark of life now it's not bad at all. Though I am sad we can't share vials and heat anymore, it is what it is I guess.

Reviving someone through a menu isn't fun in the same way as running through a horde to reach their corpse, then sacrificing your own health for them.

The new rev is a lot less

The new rev is a lot less personal and less fun.

An idea

What if they used the old revive mechanic, where you run over to your teammate and click on them, but you use a spark of life instead of giving half of your health? That would make reviving teammates more interactive at least...

But yeah, the donate-half-of-your-health mechanic was one of my favorite parts of SK, too.

Edit: Just had another idea. What if you could donate your free revive to a teammate this way? That would be cool.

Those were golden moments ;)

Although I'm not too sure what I think about Sparks of lives and no mist energy. I don't see any reason why we need CE other than crafting. I have a feeling OOO have screwed up their company a little.

We need this feature back

Some people said that it would break multiplayer, i belived that it still would somehow work. Yesterday i played vana with my group and it was very annoying, and that will be my last vana run for a very long time(even if i need tokens). Enemies having extra health because there are more players and no way to revive without using the rare sparks can get very annoying quickly

The problem is when it's like

The problem is when it's like one guy with one heart running around hanging on when he's gonna lose anyhow. Would be best it if you needed half of your own HP in order to donate.

@Orangeo
That was one of my favorite parts. Sometimes the guy with one bar would survive and grab a few hearts, and revive everybody.

Yeah, things like that were beautiful, and everyone were like "OMG hes gonna die" and when he made it everyone were celebrating and cheering.

I have a [redacted]load of Sparks of Life, but I still feel infelicitous about the revival system replacement.
