I've checked Wiki, but seen there only two one-eyed helms: Cyclops Cap and Mercurial Demo Helm. Why? One eye looks cool, and i like it very much! But i can costume my head only with Cyclops Cap, because Mercurial Demo Helm is 5* and very hard to get.
Please, make more low-stars one-eye helms! Or at least, if making new models is too hard, make low-star helm, which model is the same as Mercurial Demo Helm, but with other colors.
In case you don't take the hint, he means it positively. He means suggest a new 'One-eyed helmet' that we can develop in the thread.
Luguiru, i want one-eyed helm because it looks good. And about features... this may be another gun-helm with attack bonus for guns, or it may be speed-helm with bonus to move speed, or this may be sword charge reduction helm... And you can feign any bonus you want, maybe developers will think about it and create this helm with your bonuses. But i want one-eyed helm, because it looks like GLaDOS's head! ^_^
Psychodestroyer, yes, let's develop it here!
Lug was trying to tell you to suggest a design, what its stats are and it's upgrade path. We can't pull out ideas from thin air, it's best if the OP has a general idea of their own that we can help tweak.
To be honest, I'd love somethin' like this.
Only because I'm such a sucker for cycloptic hats.
I suggest goin' in a different direction from the normal giant circle-eye and go for a techno-slit eye, like this http://gyazo.com/7962a72c5fa07f76e535b5eba214469c
It's a different take on a single eye, and it's VERY techno-esque, which I'm surprised Spiral Knights DOESN'T have somethin' like it.
Just like Alpha to come up with the basic visuals, nice work.
Pfft, I've made that ages ago.
LET'S MAKE IT INTO SOMETHIN' GOOD.
Toss around some helmet shape ideas, or else I'll have to resort to makin' my OWN!
P.S. This isn't because I like to wear a Cyclops Cap
P.P.S. Okay I lied it is.
P.P.P.S. Best hat ever.
Challenge denied :P
I'm not very good with visual development sorry. I don't really know what stats to add myself. The most I can assist in is helping to find errors in the development i.e. things that likely won't work well because [reason]
Damn my small arsenal and tendency to stick to the same gear.
Cyclops caps are technically supposed to be gunner hats right? Seeing as an accuracy boost would be totally useless, probably CTR something for guns (focus)?
Other than that, the other ideas I came up with just now on the spot would be useless and unwanted.
Don't ask what they are. They'd be cool, but it wouldn't fit.
I was giving it some thought, and wondered: what about BOMBS?
Sword wielders have the Fencing Jacket. Gun users have the Cyclops Cap AND the Fractured Mask of Seerus. But bomb users? What do THEY have in terms of 0-1 star gear? Nothin', from what I see!
So I think it'd be fair to give them a Helmet that'll give them a damage bonus. Preferably medium to match that of the Fencing Jacket, Cyclops Cap, AND Fractured Mask of Seerus. I could work on an armor alternate later, since there's already two helmets and one armor.
But 'cuz of the cyclops hat description, I have a fixation with the Cyclops hat being a gunner cap. That SL helm doesn't count, that thing looks like a Mecha Knight head.
For bombers, would like a 'Defusor' Helmet be more suitable? I was thinking something like a reinforced helmet with an Oval Viewing window, something like a Bomb Diffusal suit. Seeing as they're supposed to resist explosions, and being a bomber, you'd be prone to 'explosive accidents' and all...
0* Fuselighter: Looking like the eye-mask of Cyclops (from X-Men) strapped to a Spiral Plate helm, the Fuselighter has Normal Defense and Bomb Damage: Medium. Flavor text: "This helmet's eye beam is not powerful enough to actually damage anything. However, the beam will assist in lighting bombs' fuses more quickly."
There ya go.

What do you think about it?
Three Rings does not own those models and would be sued if they used them.
If they make a deal with Portal developers, and use that models for helms with their approval? And this helms will be reward for Portal achivements.
And what about number 2?
Obviously there won't be any Portal deals. Too much money, and for what reason? Just to get more one-eyed helmets in-game?
I'll mess around with the Antigravity Heavy Demo helmet, and see if I could work it into somethin' that could get in-game.
As for the Plate helmet, this is all I have thus far:
http://gyazo.com/54b6471870296f83e1454057a7afc147
I do wanna make it a bit more unique in apperance, to be honest. I'll work on this design too and see what come up with.
Unrelated, but didja know that the Volcanic and Ancient Plate helmets BOTH have one eye? The slits makes it seem otherwise.
Alphastevo, when i said 'deal', i don't mean "Three Rings pay to Portal's developers and use their design", i mean "Three Rings and Portal's developers make a trade: Portal fans try play to Spiral Knights to get item in Portal for Spiral Knights achievment, and fans of Spiral Knights try Portal to get one-eyed helms for Portal achivements". Like the deal between Spiral Knights and Team Fortress 2.
If you don't mind having yet another helmet based on an enemy, there could be a Greaver costume helmet. Perhaps it could show up during a Halloween event. I was going to suggest a Greaver helmet as an actual helmet line with normal/shadow defense, either sword CTR or bomb CTR, and MSI (on the 5* version), but I'm not sure how I'd be able to come up with an entire line of them without outright making up greaver types.
I was actually thinkin' of makin' a concept of a Greaver helmet after learnin' some of your SEEKRITS.
It was mostly gonna be to reuse the old Valkyrie helmet and to give a 1 star shadow defense armor.
Just 'cuz.
Scuttlebots are another enemy type with one eye, but I have no idea how a helmet based on a scuttlebot would be possible without making it similar to the Mercurial Demo Helm.
As for a completely non-serious suggestion, what about a Stunning Helm (0*)? It would be a dark gray helmet with red highlights and a large star-shaped eye in the middle. It would have normal defense and some stun resistance.
@Manalicious-Knight Sure. For some reason, I didn't think to look for people suggesting (or designing) the greaver horns by themselves.
It's kind of a weird thing to go looking for when your mind is on cyclops things, really. I might work on a concept once I'm done playing around with Kentard's Retro Beam idea.
SCUTTLEBOTS, you say? Way ahead of ya!
A box-like helmet is somethin' this game does NOT have, which can be changed easily with this! Scuttlebots are remote little blasty bombs, so why not turn them into a helmet to give a bomb bonus?
Besides, a square helm like that will greatly boost the chances of another idea of mine in which could make yet ANOTHER idea plausible.
Huehuehuehuehueee.
That looks awesome, Alpha, keep up the good work!
On one side, you are not giving any detail of what it would look like.
On the other side; there is no other side, this is just asking for more helmets with a certain appearance.
"I want more cyclops helmets."
What are you going to do about it? Wait for someone else to do it, or do it yourself and get your ideas out there?
