Something I'm missing / would be fun to have

Today I realised what it is that I miss in this game, a feature I've grown to find amusing / cool in Puzzle Pirates and missed in every other game also.

That is the message that pops up after a few minutes, telling you to stop playing, go outside.. or make a handstand and say three times 'I love Puzzle Pirates!'

Where is this message that reminds you of the time? Why is it not here? It's OOOs fault now if I sit before the computer for such a long time! They need to implement it! They need to have a carrier snipe to find the players in Haven / in the Clockworks who have been playing for a long time! No one can resist a snipe!

We all know OOO cares about us doing other things than playing this game. Almost everyone admits that this game is meant to be played for a few hours, no longer. Otherwise it couldn't be so expensive energy-wise to play. But.. that's just not enough! All the loads of CE that are paid just because someone can't stop.. because no one's telling him to look at the clock and think about getting up!

So, OOO, please implement this. You don't want to be the cause for lots of game addicts, just because you didn't stop them early enough.

yes i know whats missing

The Vaults are all Missing! i hope they don't take them away, i play everyday in teir 1,2 and 3 just to visit the vault to get crowns, tokens and crystals. This game is getting worse by the month... no wonder veteran players like me and many many more, who are playing since Beta are leaving the game. everything is getting Horrible worse.... Dam Dam Dam!! I truly Hope its just a Glitch and they dont take away The Vaults. because it will be imposible to play the game because everything revolves around CE.....I HOPE IT'S A GLITCH!

Sorry, but I think you didn't

Sorry, but I think you didn't understand what I was posting about. I did name a very specific feature I want that has never been in Spiral Knights. (Alas!)

Anyway, I don't think the Treasure Vaults are missing, it's just they are part of a random level choice and random can mean none of 'em for a while, but not for ever. Keep trying!

I'd settle for a clock in the short term

I'm spoiled by having an on-screen clock in WoW that tells me what time it is. When I was playing Spiral Knights I'd have to pull out my cellphone and turn on the backlight to figure out what time it is.

As for interrupting your game time, that's less practical in a multi-player game. Unless the game paused the monsters and gave everyone the message, it would be quite messy. Then there would be the people who complain "I don't want to stop playing, I only have 20 minutes before I have to (cook dinner | fold laundry | do homework)."

Well, it could be just a

Well, it could be just a message in chat or a tab right where the quests appear normally (btw, that reminds me: I'd really like it if there were more quests..). So, nothing game interrupting. And it doesn't force you to stop. It's more like a little reminder. I just think OOO did it quite well in PP, the messages do make me laugh sometimes. And sometimes I just do tend to forget the time. So I thought it might be a nice addition.

As for the clock, I don't know.. Would take up room on the screen, would have to be timezone-adjustable.. I'm not sure I'd want that. But what I would like is a possibility to check what server time it is with a chat command. I always have to look PDT up whenever I want to know at what time something happens ingame.

It's your Mist Energy in

It's your Mist Energy in Spiral Knights.

When it runs out it's saying, ''Okay, you had fun, now go do something else''.
