It would be nice to see how many crowns I got on a floor when I get to it's elevator just like with heat.
Display the total crowns gained at the end of a floor

Hmm, yeah, that would be a problem, although I gotta admit this info would be VERY helpful for wiki editors.

@Psychodestroyer:
Wait...you mean RJ/RCR? I think most people know that RCR has a higher crown rate that most other things in the game, SLs aside. Not to mention it's in Tier 2, which makes it an easy place to grind.
And just because one place has the highest crown rate (RCR) doesn't mean nobody will do anything else; but it could mean that people will pretty much only do Boss runs (But really, that and Arenas are all people do anyway).
Because even though RCR has the highest crown rate, FSC's heat is much higher; and you get different tokens for fighting different bosses.
All this aside, it could be just a little too convenient.

Just take a screenshot every time you hit the elevator and calculate it yourself.

Well
Typically, yeah. But there are lots of players who have no-idea which gates are good for what etc.
RCR=RJP right? As in 'Red Carpet Runaround', 2nd stage of Royal Jelly palace?
Typically, yeah. But don't forget T2 strata that's Jelly themed and has a few arena's/jelly farms/other more profitable stages. All it would take is a regular update of the wiki/forums page someone would probably make, and I can guess that would be fairly easy for someone to do.
The only other people who'd use any other gate are either older players who're looking for something specific, newer players who didn't even glance at the site/non-site users, boss token wanters and...I think that's it.
Mainly, what I mean is although you can do this anyway, having this would make it so much easier to do, with the current reason for not doing it being 'takes too long'/'too complicated'. With this, just glance, record, add, move on/let someone else fill in the incomplete data. Profit table now filled out: profit stages founds, other gates less used, more profit gate more used.

@Psychodestroyer:
Well, call me crazy but I typically refer to all of RJP as RCR for whatever reason. Just like I call the royal jelly JK.
Anyway, I'm all for having to figure out things yourself. I typically don't like to use the Wiki unless I'm looking up stats on armors because it kind of ruins the experience for me (Except for now..I'm pretty learned in the ways of Spiral Knights at this point). It's like buying a new Video Game and before playing it put it some Game Shark codes and beating it in 10 minutes.

Meh
No worries Sev. To each their own or whatever.
And EVERYONE calls the Royal Jelly JK XD

I got bored, so I did that with Megaman Zero 3. It was SO funny.

Megaman..I wish I'd have played more old mega man games...but that was before my generation. I always watched my older brother play them. They looked uber funz. The new megaman games are ehhhhhh.

I reckon the Starforce series kinda made him too Uber. He had a lock-on, a weak shield, rapidfire and chargeable buster, with weapon upgrades.
The Megaman Zero series isn't THAT old, the gameplay is pretty nice.

Excuse the pixelation, it's GBA game.
In Zero 3, with the cheats, there was only one way to die and I super-powered him. So I was nearly invincible. Watching all the cyberelves download temporarily into Zero in cyberspace always made me laugh.
Battle Network took more patience, but was really difficult as well. Intensity wasn't a problem either:

Some bits were SO awesome. Played One through to six, except for 5. That was WAY too hard for me.
Starforce, you only get THREE panels to maneuver on, a lock-on ability, a simple shield you can use any time, a rapidfire buster with an auto charge.
Some powerups were too hax.

@Psychodestroyer
Lol I reckon Zero 3 has an awesomely fun water boss and final boss, I pretty much replay the final stage just to fight those guys....Funny? Which cheats did you use? Having fully maxed cyber elves was real fun to me x3
@Sev
The old ones are more fun? Wait, did you mean the ones like Megaman X or the one just with the name Megaman? Personally, I kinda liked the newer ones, like the ZX series....Did you mean the other ones like battle network and starforce?
So, RCR has a higher crown rate than FSC? I guess I still need heat, so MOAR FSC for me....
But really? I would have though fsc had a higher crown rate.....

@Psychodestroyer
Wait, what? It would make a gate overused? Why is this a problem? I doubt this addition would cause any more players than usual to run the same gates over and over again. I find it funny that you assume that the only players that would use other gates are newbies or vets looking for something specific. I'm sure some players go through gates because they have fun fighting the enemy types in it or enjoy graveyards and arenas.
I think this change could make a player feel like all those coins they're picking up on a floor are actually worth something.

@Nubskills:
I mean the lil series of megaman that was on the Gameboy (Prior to Advance). Not to mention..the BGM tracks were epic in those games too..storm eagle ftw.
And yes, RCR/RJP has a higher crown rate than FSC, despite what you might think. I forget the numbers exactly. HOWEVER, it is possible to make more money doing FSC because of the 5* Recipes, so it depends if you find good 5* ones as opposed to good 3* ones.
Therefore it may also depend on your capital to start with, since 5* recipes cost much more. But as far as monster drops, RJP is better. As for the levels going up to it, it depends on what sort of levels they are. If there were all arenas going up to FSC it's likely that doing a full run there would be more profitable than your typical 1-arena RJP run.

@Psychodestroyer
Lol yeah, agree with the Starforce statement, although I havent really tried battle network before :/ All cheats? The one that lets you use cyberspace elves outside of cyberspace was an awesome one XD
@Ah ok, gee, I gotta try those, out of the ancient ones i only played the first one lol. There are still a few good bgm tracks in the newer ones too, i just love the ZX ones lol(ZX Advent seems to have a different composer somehow?)
So gonna spam RJP now $_$

MEH
ZX ADVENT PWNS ZX.
No really, I gave up on ZX and just used a walkthrough because I couldn't find all the sections my missions were at.
Model A is da MAN. Giga Crush!
@Vendingmachine: Not so much a problem as other parts become more or less obsolete. Kinda like having a sidebar on your computer you don't even glance at, let alone use it.
And newbies and vets TYPICALLY, I always forget to add the 'there are exceptions'. Of course there are other people who just do other stages for their own reasons, but most mid-game players play for cr, so yeah, overused gate.
So not really a problem, but might make parts of the game unused, so they aren't really needed. People might become more calculative over CR output Stuff like:
-Gate so-so used to give out like 9Kcr in a T2 run, the new gate only gives 5K, what is this OOO scamz trying to waste our time/money
-Gate 3 gave me Xcr on my last run, now I get X-y!? WTF is this [fecal matter]!?
/rage
Stuff like that, although admittedly, that's all I can think of.
Think of it like 'Such weapon is announced to be best weapon, having a damage output matched with it's speed. (Like a master sword)'
Next thing you know, EVERYONE wants that sword save the few people who like their variety/don't know about it and are pwning everything with it. Nothing really wrong there, but everything else becomes obsolete.

LOL! IMO I would say that ZX has better music overall along with moar haxx(overdrive, model OX) and ZX advent has better gameplay overall, although the differences are very slight to me. Yeah, I went for a walkthrough for the areas too lol, final boss of zx didnt look as nice or as fun as advent.
Hmm, idk, I kinda liked the sheer haxx of Model OX over the fun of Model A(or the oldschool Model a).
@Reply
Gotta agree with the sword thing, it used to be DA+full Vog until the brandish patch lol
yehikwatumeanbrah
I don't think that would be wise.
Then people could easily calculate which levels are more profitable and everyone would do JUST those stages. As it stands, most people can't be bothered to calculate it on their own so they don't bother.
If this is implemented, then it shortens the whole process and all they need to do is glance at their counter and see how much cr they got from it.
/accumulate data
/share
/Profitable stage found!
/Other gates drop to 'not really used', that one gate becomes 'completely over used'
