Everyone make sure to check the supply depot. There are some major sales on halos, wings, and cat tails. Prismatic halo is only 4000 ce :)

Thank You OOO

Slap in the face to those of us who waited and spent 1.5-3mil on the featured auctions but i guess all accessories have known to have risk factors.

I can't believe how SMART of a move this was for OOO. I mean honestly, cosmetic items are the largest energy sink in the game...so why not milk that cow until they have to buy more energy?

@Reqy

My thought exactly when I say the sale. Then I looked at the 20k CE I had stored from over a year ago and just couldn't stop laughing or start caring.

Are the accessories bound

Are the accessories bound when you buy them from the supply depot?

In the depot it says "This item cannot be traded."

This is proof that you guys

This is proof that you guys didnt know what you were doing when you removed elevator costs. Limited edition? Rare items? Pfft, not going to fall for that again.

Since when did they say Valkyrie Wings, Dragon Wings, and Halos were rare/limited edition? They've already been featured in two energy promos, not to mention countless featured.
Get off your conspiracy horse, people have been asking for these to be re-released at a not stupidly marked up price for ages, and Three Rings have done an excellent job doing so.

"Veteren Players" have still got their Chapaus and Tabards, and the countless other promotions that haven't been featured.

Kind of feel a bit sorry for the person who has that current bid on the featured prismatic halo.

^ this though
They probably could have halted the automated Featured system first before releasing this.

I feel though that one of the reasons for them doing this is because a lot of the high-end accessory market had been completely monopolized by the upper-class society of Spiral Knights. This new sale system allows Three Rings to get the items directly to the players who want them but always had them pulled out of their reach by people with a more established wealth.

Why does anyone even care that they're bringing this stuff back? They're purely cosmetic. Shouldn't we be promoting diversity among players, not greed amongst the people that have enough money to hoard stuff as it's released?

I have no problem with them releasing these accessories, but you have to think about it.

All people want rare, good looking items that match with their sets. For the most part, rare, good looking items that matched people's sets were far out of the reach of most SK players. Because they were desired. People want them, they'd chew off a leg for them. Now that they're affordable, it's not diverse to own them. I can't even count how many Prismatic Valks and Halos I've seen today.

I'd rather concern myself with fitting my character to look unique and distinguishable than worrying about whether I look wealthier than Rich-Skolver to my right. If their idea of utilizing a rare accessory is to slap it on because the item holds a lot of prestige then I think they're missing the point. But what do I know - maybe some people just want to look wealthier than others.

Sadly, most of the community

Sadly, most of the community wanted those wings, tails, and halos because of how well they looked. Now most of the community has those wings, tails, and halos.

/equips volcanic valks, wolver tail, and crown ;-;

I'm entitled to having these rare accessories be limited to only me! How dare you do something that a BUSINESS would do?!

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

Remember, these thing will only be common for a while. Then eventually you'll stop seeing them all the time.

With that in mind...

I want to get Volcanic Dragon Wings! I have Divine, but I was a noob when I got them and I put them on something which made it look really ugly...
