Well, since we have reached an accessory saturation point (judging by the cynical reaction they now roundly get), how about special intro affects and musics.

You know that cool light explosion when you change colors? You know that sweet effect when you rank up? Remember how awesome it was when proto man would show up in megaman, and it'd do that gunslinger whistle tune? Why not give us those?

It'd be awesome if every time Rommil joined a clockworks run, he showed up in an explosion of light a torrent of coins raining down. Preferably with some cool music that runs for 10 seconds to announce my presence. It'd be another nice touch, to help us distinguish ourselves from others.

now, i grant you this should be way down on the list of things to do, and should not be contending with new content. But i'd rather this then "hey hey hey, look we have wyvern wings!!!!"

Stroke your eP___

All this would do is make people think they are more important than they actually are, potentially cause more lag, and only be noticed by those around you upon entry assuming they are not off screen. Though I agree it would be a change of pace from the wing obsession Three Rings has had lately, this is not a better alternative for humbling our community. We want people to act as a community, not selfish irresponsible children who think highly of themselves yet do nothing positive.

"No Luguiru is stupid and everything you do is stupid and so is your dog and zombie goasts are living in a house so I shot bullets really fast from the gun really fast and shot to dead and won."

special entrance yes but music no.

I would like the entrance but not the music. (this is not WWE. I think that's what it's called) I agree with Luguiru about humbling the community. Not a fan of big egos.

Frocus: "At what? Sitting on your butt all day clicking a mouse and pressing keys while you waste your life on a computer?"

Yeah...

Although custom entrances would surely bring out some loathsome comments, I have to admit they would be cool. Additional effects could take after existing monster effects (e.g. Zombies' climbing out of the ground, Trojans' flexing for their attack buff, Wolvers' spinny-jumpy-pop-out-of-the-ground thing).

you've lost it.

How would this make one a selfish and irresponsible child? I'm a 31 year old adult who handles all his business and is charitable with both his time and money in real life and in game. Your baseless personal attacks and criticisms are as baseless as your suggestions rubbish.

How would this make someone in game feel more important than they are? It'd be cool bells and whistles for people who have nothing better in game to spend money on and would encourage them to do something other than amass more and more wealth with never an end in sight (as well as grant players with less crowns a better shot at "rare" accessories on featured auction house). [and no different, i suspect, from what they are about to implement with guild updates/accessories--at least in part.]

Who are you to demand the community be humbled? I can not think of nary a more arrogant comment then demanding that community be humbled.. There is really no call for a humbling of the community. Why don't you do you, and everyone else can do them? Humbling of the community....its like you are mocking yourself.

It seems to escape you that anyone can, does, or should be allowed to have an opinion that you do not endorse. I hope you are not so self-centered and socially lacking in real life.

Ep___ now, there are some who have you beat in the general discussions forums, or at least were, but there is no one so condescending, self-inflated, and E-peeny as you in the suggestions forums. There is not even a close second.

Do us both a favor, if you see a thread started by rommil, go find something else to troll.

for heaven's sakes, if OOO would take only one suggestion from me, i'd wish it to be the forums ignore user button.

~~in light of no forum option, i'm forced to do it manually. You are heretofore one of only two forum-goers on manual ignore list. have fun, good luck, peace out. I shalln't respond again.

@Rommil

Isn't it "shan't", not "shalln't"?

@Anyone
Anyway, I might see if I can cook up some custom entrance goodness in Spiral-Spy if I have some time. What do people think would be the most interesting to see?

I think Rommil and Luguiru were having a prolonged war with each other, but now Rommil's ended it.

For my own Spiral-Spy agenda I'm going to keep tally:
Fang of Vog charge: 1 vote
Zombie surfacing: 0 votes
Wolver surfacing: 0 votes
Trojan flexing: 0 votes
Flash and coins: 0 votes

Mawashimono is sad

Although Luguiru's title for his post was provocative, it didn't seem like he was attacking you personally but only your suggestion. His comments were lucid and his take was well-written. The two of you are among my favorite forums post'ers, so it saddens me that you'd be exchanging tit-for-tats or ignoring one another.

It would be a stroke of the epeen for sure, but I don't really have a problem with that... it'd surely lower the price of CE. Well, lower it as long as it came from as either a featured auction item (although those are still raking in the dough), or as a CE promo of some sort.

+1; just don't make them too annoying. I'd be fine with a burst of confetti or a subtle noise playing, but if Rommil joined my party and 18 nitronome explosions went off followed by the anthem of Rommil as money rained down from the sky and rainbows shot out of his majestic helmet, I might be tempted to put Rommil on my ignore list... if I ever stopped laughing at how dramatic the event would be.

LOL

@ Fehzor: In a practical sense, I agree. I know that you're exaggerating to make a point, and agree with what you're trying to say wholeheartedly.

HOWEVER, if ALL of that actually happened, every time Rommil joined a party... I'd pay him to come join me just for the laugh. Seriously, he'd be richer than ever from all of the people begging him to join.

Rommil: "if OOO would take only one suggestion from me, i'd wish it to be the forums ignore user button."

This. NOW.

Apparently I was supposed to stay

I was waiting for someone to actually do something instead of whine.

Rommil and I were in war? As far as I know this began with a few fodder threads I gave minimal effort responses to, suiting the thread, to which Rommil troll-spammed everywhere. After making a few suggestions of his own I gave responses which were also troll-spammed. I have no problem with this particular suggestion but the original content seems along the lines of "look at me I am so amazing" while others are willing to contribute to something realistic. If Rommil wants to block the truth I will not counter with the same immature behavior; if I did then nearly all the newer users around here would be ignored and nothing would get done around here.

Zombie surfacing for me, hold the onions.

Rommil was not trolling

Eh...
I know how you feel, Rommil.
I as well do not like Luguiru, and think he is a [censored :o].
But he wasn't really attacking you in that first post O.o

EDIT : I don't completely dislike him, there has been a 'few' times he has made me lol

Oh and one zombie surfacing for me

@ fehzor

:) i found that rather amusing.
pweeeese don't ignore me. i promise not to purchase personalized entrances.

**vana comes stomping across the clockworks, looking extra mad and searching for someone......stomps off the screen. Rommil comes crawling out from beneath the brambles**

teeheehee.

Really i was thinking something small, like a confetti explosion, small strike of lightning, or like a 3-5 second chime when you appear. By no means was in thinking big grand productions like WWE or something. Altho the crawling out of the ground was pretty brilliant (with a heavy organ tune, like dracula).

All for you having your own

All for you having your own intro music and light show when you show up... as long as there is a way for me to turn the intro music for knights off.
