Ewbte just wants team play to be as awesome as it was before, hope you guys, who loves challenges, enjoyed it too.
I don't see the meaning of one free auto revive, it could be just twice more HP, which is silly isn't it?

Even without content update it was interesting to just run thru clockworks with a team of friends or random mates, making new friends with people who care.
(☞゚ヮ゚)☞ ☜(゚ヮ゚☜)

I never minded about to revive a party member who dies every minute
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
that meant he is a newbie and I have a chance to give him a hand in that journey.
┬──┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ)

Many times happened, that we were able to save the whole party in a stressful moment, which always ended in a lot of positive emotions for all players.
(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ✧゚・: *ヽ(◕ヮ◕ヽ)

Sometimes lag happens or we do mistake and die, friends was able to give us a hand, and I did feel even better when it was done by a stranger in random party.
(ಥ﹏ಥ)

I think that was the most important part of team play in this great game called Spiral Knights. Without it, sadly, team play is just a type of soloing, where everyone care only about themselves and how to pickup "their own drop" without concentrating on fight.
Just as currently in real life, do you guys like real life? Do some of you want to have same in here? Me not.
¯\(°_o)/¯

I don't put this in suggestions forum, since I don't suggest anything new.

ps. haters, if you can't provide any positive thoughts on balancing or how to make it work, please go away. You doesn't help at all.
pps. also wanted to say: the more people hate, the worse people become. Think about it.

Just type + if you are with me.

Adventures is all we need.

I would love this, but of course my personal logic on such things like this is: "It's never going to happen."
At the state of the game is right now, nothing will be changed or reverted back. All changes are more than likely firm and set until the devs (ever) alter or add new gameplay changing features that will change the way the game was in the previous versions that satisfy us (if they care) and their bank account.

To revive died knight in old

To revive died knight in old system you must come close to him, use action button(the one used to hit, or open ah), and you did revive died knight sharing half of your health with him.

The old revive system was pretty bad. In the end, most parties who were going through hard content and couldn't quite manage it got down to a pip or a half on every knight and you couldn't really properly play the game because taking a hit was always death and it would possibly cost your party energy.

As for the old loot system, it was nice but it was far more open to abuse, with alt carrying and whatnot. It'd be especially bad now that we have free elevators.

the more people hate, the worse people become.

...What is this garbbage? You said not to hate and then hate on someone who has a different opinion as you...

And as for the revive, I loved it, the noobs can no longer beg all day for easy revives, I just ask if anyone want to revive him/her and if not, instant kick. I prefer it stay that way so noobs can actually git gud as supposed to counting on someone to revive them.

Adventures is all we need.

Nope, money, good weapons and bragging rights are the only justice in spiral knights, ego comes first, happiness comes next, if you hate that as a fact, then stop playing MMOs.

You doesn't help at all.

Batabii!!! WE NEED YOU!!!

I'm vohtarak, call me by that name

athough its not new its still a suggestion, you're not special, use the correct forum
also saying no haters is worthless due to the fact everything needs some sort of criticism to improve
old loot system, you can sit alts down and get more loot, new system slows that down a lot deterring alt farmers
old system, materials were randomized and not shared, and were harder to get
old system, you could drop consumables which allowed you to carry tons of health pills along
although it was easier the new system has way less flaws

but I agree with the health share revives, but keep sparks to self revive

There is bad points in old system of course, it could be done in a different way, and leave health share and sparks.

Your grammar is a bit like your arguement: broken, poorly thought out and all over the place.

I'll leave a tip. Just talking about known bad sides of something is not a help.

So talking all the good sides of something is going to help? I like the way you think, hey guys, OOO is giving out all the promos, let's encourage them to make more because we like to have our wallet molested :D :D :D :D

Now then, who is with me in the petition to perman ban Ewbte?

Did someone say hate? Aviri reporting for duty!

KK!! time to add my veeery positive thoughts into this.*totally not sarcasm*

Did you know that if you add an N to Ewbte you get... Newbte? :O!!!!!!! THATS AMAZIIING!!! whaaaao.

Leaving madness aside, I already had my thoughts on the old revive system where I said I hated energy revives, a merge between sparks of life and the health sharing revive would be what i'd like the most, I really liked health sharing.

@Midnight-Dj
And as for the revive, I loved it, the noobs can no longer beg all day for easy revives, I just ask if anyone want to revive him/her and if not, instant kick. I prefer it stay that way so noobs can actually git gud as supposed to counting on someone to revive them.

Noobs beg for spark revives after losing their free revive anyway, and there are people that still die and hinder the rest of the team with their presence on levels that they shouldn't be in, the current system allows that as much as the old one did, you were also able to kick bothersome people back then as much as you are now, bringing the old revive system back would not hurt you a single bit or anyone else for that matter.

ps. haters, if you can't provide any positive thoughts on balancing or how to make it work, please go away. You doesn't help at all.

ok, I believe I have already seen another user doing something similar to you and this mentality needs to stop, so I will respond to this the only way I know, the mean way, this isn't an evening tea party at your house, this is a forum, where people come to post their opinions and DISCUSS, do not expect everyone to chime in and agree with everything you say, thats not how it works, nor how it should work.

If there is a certain user who is just posting nonsense or really just trolling, you ignore him/her, but don't dismiss people who won't agree with you as haters, if you really want that you should post on your own blog or a site of your own, but as long as you post in a forum, don't expect anything, there will always be someone who is willing to derail, destroy, throw tomatoes at your post with the most malignant and evil intentions, asking them to go away won't help you at all, instead, they will probably feel encouraged even more because of you paying attention to them before they even post on your thread.

"here here guys, I can't take negative comments!! i am going to get pissed, quick quick!! come and troll me!"

and tbh I really had to make a great effort not to turn my post into pure trolling and negativity, yep, I really had to.

also, health sharing might be able to come back, but never shared loot
there is no way to stop alt farming with it, and people will still do it

its really hard to be ignorant of bringing back shared loot
but congrats you managed it

First things first, I can

First things first, I can barely understand what the hell you're trying to say. But I think I get the gist of it.

What's wrong with a free revive? Does it make the game too easy for you or something? I don't understand why anybody would be against this.

Second, shared loot is a terrible idea. Like someone said, it's really open to abuse. If anything SK's individual loot system is one of the many great things (in my opinion) that sets it apart from your run-of-the-mill MMO.

The whole team-play thing though, that I can sort of agree on. But I don't see how the old version promotes team play. I'd say the current game does a pretty good job of encouraging team play already.

As for the health sharing bit, yeah, I also think that's a good idea. The only thing I'd add to that is that I hope you can still revive without having to approach the other player. It's simply much more convenient that way, and less hectic too.

Lastly, I'd like to add a suggestion. SK should implement a system to vote away a party's leader. Too many times have I been stuck in random parties where the leader was utterly incompetent. But the rest of the players have no method of kicking him. It's simply too much effort to branch off and make a new party lol.

PS. What do you have against Real Life? It's not all bad once you know how to deal with things.

@Avirifunny how some people

@Aviri
funny how some people take words on themselves. If you will hear "douchebag" from somewhere on the street, will you turn? Guess, only in one case. /gi

As for alt looting, just limit maximum game windows from one computer when player is in clockworks to one, thats it. In other words limit the ability for player to join/start a run if he has more than one game window opened.

@Keepscaite
Real life is where people walk on other people heads.

To others, take a look how many thread readers tried to offend ewbte.

Hmm, I've fought worse

it is funny when people fail to get sarcasm even when it has the word sarcasm written all over it. the first things i said in my previous post were all jokes, if you do not get it yet.

I never said nor implied that you were adressing me when you said that, nor do I think that is the case, I only expressed my thoughts on your comment. in fact I just agreed with your post, I just clarified that your ideas about "haters" seem wrong and unfitting from that comment you made in the OP.

and yes! I would turn if I felt that someone is calling me a douchebag, but that doesn't automatically make me a douchebag, same way that when some individual actually calls me a douchebag I do not feel that i am a douchebag, but I do feel offended by that.

if I found you on the street and called you stupid right in your face would you just think "oh, i am not stupid must be someone else" and walk away, if that was the case only 1 conclusion is left to make...

... Err...

If there is a certain user who is just posting nonsense or really just trolling, you ignore him/her
you ignore him/her

This whole thread is going on because people don't seem to see that.

But let's see what I can throw out here:

Old system: Teamplay sped things up but things were more randomized. Teams would be dragged down by bad players with harder content, but standard content or good players could easily make the bad equalize. Solo-play punished players if they were to mess up.
New system: Teamplay slows things down but everything you do only you are accountable for. You don't need to pick up the slack from other players' failures. Solo-play is often faster and not much different.

I like both systems for different reasons. I love to run the clockworks alone, so the new solo-bit is super nice to me. I liked the old version more because it rewarded teamwork and made me want to play in parties, even with randoms. It put more responsibilities on each other to do well instead of just "as long as I do well it's fine".

Before teamwork came before, during, and after combat. Now, teamwork only shows up while in combat.

However, as a sort of killer, we aren't going to be getting health sharing back as we see it has a legacy achievement binded to it. The game has also evolved... And us as players are here to support the ride. If we spend all our time looking at the rails behind us we'll never come to enjoy what spot we're in, or become excited and predict what comes ahead.

"If you will hear "douchebag" from somewhere on the street, will you turn?"

@Fangel
One free revive could stay for solo runners. But as soon as someone join you, it disappears. And gives back when you get kicked or everybody left.
There is a lot of examples in history where people were looking in to the past to make future better.
But most don't learn from their mistakes. Sadly.

Billions of ways how to keep a great feature in the game. It is like plasticine.

I would think the revive system including ERs should stay but just add health share onto it

and the Windows of the game are set on your computer and the server would have no control over it, it sees them as accounts in game

what make me sad when someone post this kind of thread its how people jump quickly to "NO BECUZ ALT ABUSING!"

well sadly old revive system will never come back, i enjoyed more than the new system, i barely see "improvements" with the new system (the only one i see its that revives dont raise in price if you die so often) yeah we have the free revive, but i feel that took part of the charming of the game, which make it easy. which i find annoying how this new system give more advantage to play solo rather in team, which was the reason why i liked the game, the coop mode. solo play should be only for the one who look chanllenge or because they wish.

anyway, other forumers posted about how to improve the lack of "cooperative help" in the game since health sharing isnt anymore in the game, one suggested that players can use pills to donate "pill health" to a down knight so they can revive, which i dont find pretty bad, since you know, now that you cant drop usables on the floor, unused pills gather in the battle floor, this could work since in order to revive someone you need to use your own pill and since drops are now instanced... its fine.

other forumers suggested about a new usable that will let you revive fallen knights and since its an usable you can only carry 3 of them, and they would be like rare usables like mecha knights kits or recon flare, i think thats fine too but honestly preferred the pill idea since that was the most close thing to health share (and well in a crucial moment where you have low life and 1 pill you would choosee between help fallen mates or health yourself)

but at least for me the good coop aspect of this game ended.

Guess, only in one case There

Guess, only in one case

There are more ways to offend someone other than simply calling them a douchebag.

And there are also a lot of reasons why one would turn after hearing the word douchebag in the street, but you are trying to make it seem as if there was only one, strange... I should have expected that kind of answer from someone who isn't willing to get into any kind of reasoning that isn't your very own, but well, my opinion doesn't matter anyway, because I am not ewbte.

What is there to expect from OOO if they were like ewbte? ewbte would not even have a suggestion forum to post a suggestion on, because ewbte would not accept anything that is not itself. You know what is worse than people that hate? people that refuse to change, people that rather deny everything instead of admitting a mistake, people that flee from conflict.

Feel free not to answer me anymore, because I won't answer either, you do not agree with me, so it is a waist of time.

It would be best to have a system that doesn't switch

The emergency revive is pretty much Three Rings' "fixed" health share. That is, you don't hurt your team (while sacrificing some teamwork element) when you use it, and it gives enough health to push you forwards. If anything, it would be great if you could give away your emergency revive to downed players in the same manner as the old system.

But alas, I would rather save the suggestions we need for a thread dedicated to them without all the demeaning words flying around. We also have plenty of threads that suggest better alternatives in cleaner formats in this forum.

Sigh. Some people, eh Ewb?

Allow me to jump to the defense of my ESL friend, Ewbte. Midnight-DJ, kindly remember that not everyone is from an English speaking country, before going after her grammar. Having seen your forum posts, I can assure you that yours is also less than perfect.

Now, I do wish Ewb hadn't mentioned anything about haters, because yeah, that's troll bait. That being said, Aviri, you sliding insults into your post was unnecessary, and demeaned the entire point of what you wrote. With the exception of your attempts at humour/sarcasm, I agree with what you posted. Discussion and constructive criticism are what will help an idea get off the ground, and eventually improve. Insults/name calling/condescension will not help anyone.

Krakob, you're all good.

Ewb,

I think a mix between the two systems would be efficient. No need to waste sparks if a teammate can reach you to rev, but if everyone is down to a pip, maybe it's time to spark. I would add a caveat here, though. This should only be available on normal and advanced modes. Elite should be just that: elite.

With all that out of the way, I'll return to my other games, that actually update, and don't spam promos at me.

I was using her/his grammar as a metaphor to describe her/his grammar. Seriously, English is not even my first language and I find the grammar atrocious. And as for hating on the thread, like I said many times before: I am the shadow necessary for this forum to exist, I am the disparity this world needed. Like light and dark, heat and cold, life and death, love and hate I am just here to balance out the voices in the forum to keep it neutral and free. And if you don't like that, too bad, I am just here to be the Joker for every 'Batmen' on this forum.

And as for my opinion, I've already posted it on my first post. Now if you excuse me, I must go back playing another MMO.
