Part 1: The intro

Now, we all know we need to make sprite food for our new companions. However, this had a MAJOR impact on the clockworks. it seems to only house freeze or posion on most stratas. Usually, the only stratas not freeze or posion are the "boss level" themes. Isn't it quie annoying having to fight through hoards of freeze and posion themed monsters?

This even has an impact on things you normally wouldn't expect, such as crafting. Pretend you need some torchstone, and has clearance to explore tier 2 depths. They can only be aquried by firo knights or gremlin scourchers, but since of the scaresity of tier 2 fire themed levels its almost impossible to get it, other than missions or via trading. And some people dont wanna do those fire missions, because usually they also seek for crowns and heat.

Part 2: Possible solutions

Here are some of my suggestions:

-(recomennded) If the game detects there are alot of the same theme and in contruction there is that theme (persumally 3-5), the game will automaticly stuff an alloy into that gate's contruction thing. If it rocket backs up to that theme, it will change back to the alloy's theme and will pernimatly stay like it.

-If there are alot of a same theme and try to make a strata's theme be that theme, the game will reject that prosposial.

-(not recommended) Increase the dissiculty of the freeze and posion untill diversity is restored. And the difficulty needs to be harder than elite.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 3: Conclusion

In conclusion, this "blizzard" haved to be stopped. I hope one of my ideas are allowed.

Now, if you support, thanks. If you still don't, please make a CLEAR post on why you reject. Either way, thanks for the feedback! :D

I suggest a compromise. pair stratums interfere with unpair ones: if a pair stratum is set, the stratum above cannot be the same, and switches randomly.
so, dump your minerals on pair stratums and half of the arcade will be random.
besides, devs and GMs have alloys, they will fix the problem if it lasts.

They won't. They are too busy reheating the same promos with different color schemes.

Honestly, I think gate

Honestly, I think gate construction itself should be reworked. It just doesn't fit or work in the game anymore. Back then arcade was all you could play, and there was this big incentive to have the community involved in the process of selecting what theme and what levels they would play. Hell, back in the beta they had a non functioning place for people to drop minerals in and try to open the core, it goes to show OOO had big plans and ideas for the Arcade and minerals. However, thats all behind us now, with missions gates were affected by having less of the community to be involved, but as more time goes on and the sprites come along with more uses for minerals we get issues like this. I'm not sure what the fix could be, maybe just outright remove the players making choices, and instead have it just randomly choose themes, but then what would be of minerals? It's a hard nut to crack, remove the dependance on players having a variety of minerals to make varied gates yet still have players input minerals to construct gates. Just dumping minerals to have random themes would defeat the purpose of having separate ones.

EDIT:

Seriously now? like, honestly, is that all you had to say? Gee I didn't realize Battle sprites and a complete energy system overhaul were rehashed of old promos and recolored stuff.-

...common forum troll.. *sigh* I'll keep this edit, just to hang my head in shame...
