Hey I'm Marvelrock, I came on the fourms to ask that why can Mist tanks that be purchase at the Auction House or Token Trader instead of being a one shot item? I really like this game. But every time I lose energy I have to wait until the next day which kinda gets annoying.

I think it would Mist tanks should be bought at an expensive price at the Auction House or for quite a bit tokens from the Token Trader which is understandable because it's a very vaulable item. Well I think Mist tanks should be available for purchase for the next update. If it's ok. You can't get it anywhere else.

So I can't see why the Devs of Sprial Knights can't make this suggestion possible. If the devs make the suggestion possible in the update it will be that will be awesome. :)

Moo~~

We have something called Crystal Energy. It acts the exact same way as mist energy (you can craft, do clockwork runs, etc), only that it does NOT regenerate and does not have a limit. If you want extra energy, why not buy Crystal Energy(CE) ? There is absolutely no reason to buy a mist tank when you can just buy CE.

100 CE goes for about 7.5k crowns to 8.2k crowns. It is a bit expensive, but if you want to progress in the game, you cant avoid it.

There is Crystal Energy that takes the role/price of Mist Tanks. Also, you can bribe King Krogmo and invite friends to SK to get mini-mist tanks (15 energy)

Oh my you made Asuka not want

Oh my you made Asuka not want to comment. That's...

Anyway, there's a reason we have CE, and since Mist regens anyway, if one were to say grind FSC, then use the tokens to buy mist tanks, they essentially get infinite CE until the price...You know what screw it im with Asuka on this.

It breaks the economy/ isnt needed since CE is the same thing. Graveyard please.

Nice compassion for your fellow Players.

If CE prices become higher due to crown inflations because of the lesser limitations of the system and other players complain MORE,

You know who to blame.

why can't, you mean. Also, if

why can't, you mean.

Also, if you could buy mist for ce, that would be stupid. If you could buy it for crowns, you'd force a limit to the ce price, which could result in crown inflation. If you could buy it for tokens, it would possibly lower the prices of other token goods, or make them less profitable.

Judging by your posts, you made this thread on a whim, and you don't care to back up any of your arguments. CE is there to support the game. The economy is there so we can trade and have an interesting game. Ignoring both just makes you an idiot.

Sheesh fine then

Ok, I'm a idiot just because of a suggestion tsk tsk. Well Halifix you are quite a critical guy. Sheesh and I'm just a player with an opinon if you don't agree that's fine but there's no need to insult your fellow players because you have a different opinon. I'm done with guys. You can complain all you want about the suggestion and be smart-alecks. I'll continue with life. It's like you actually research this stuff before you counter argue me. XD. Also for tokens I said you need a lot because it's a very vaulabe items read before you comment.

"Also I don't care what Askua thinks screw what you say Xylka. P.s I don't break the ecomony and don't give and damn about CE I don't want to waste it I use it for crafting."

After declaring your 'newness' to the forums, insulting veteran forumers is a very bad move.

AKA, other veteran forumers, at least 70% of them, myself included, don't take kindly to it.

I'll give it to you bluntly:

This idea is stupid.

1) Mist tanks, in their standard form, are worth 100e. Ce, in it's standard form, is 100e. By setting a price to buy a mist tank, you are in effect, setting a separate 'ce' price. There is now an alternative to ce, so everyone will just buy the cheaper alternative.

2) As a result, cheaper 'e' results in more cr in the market. Then we get rich guys everywhere, hallelujah. Now there being rich people, getting gear is less of a problem. How is that bad?
- Players getting gear sooner=players finishing the game sooner. Sooner you finish, the sooner you get bored.
- SK was created by the company to make MONEY. By giving an alternative to ce, that's LESS money OOO makes.
- Furthermore, the SOONER players leave the game, and the EASIER it is, that's LESS money OOO can make.
- The new influx of inexperienced players with little-to-no-idea-what-they-are-doing will be an extreme annoyance, there being enough of them able to buy their way into T3 as it is (no offense intended for the general P2P community). They are annoying because they hadn't spent much time in the previous Tiers, learning what they should do to be better at the game, instead blaming everything on gear, lag, too hard opponents and the like, as opposed to bettering themselves and their knowledge of gameplay to improve.

That, and the majority of fecalskulls like them are often literal scumbags. Met one In T1 earlier. Kept shouting things like 'Oi, get over here boi boi' and 'Oi, get your @SS over here' as well as missing the healing pads in the arena completely. While I healed my missing half-pip (as opposed to their missing half-health, which never did get healed), he told me to 'get over here boi boi I wanna show you something' followed by 'MY @SS'. Then tells me he wants to 'show me a good time', going so far as to specify WHAT when I replied nonchalantly. ^_-

3) "don't give and damn about CE I don't want to waste it I use it for crafting"
- This statement makes no sense whatsoever, considering that 'e' usage is equal among both forms, and that although ME is regenerateable, by buying the tank it is as good as buying ce ANYWAY. So using it would be like using ce, except it has the limit of not being able to exceed 100 when you 'top-up'.
- If you didn't 'give a damn about ce', you wouldn't have made this thread, since ce is so foreign to you as something to care about.

Enough about your half-baked idea, let's move on to your conduct:
- "Mist tanks should-" There is no 'should' about ANY suggestion. Maybe there 'should' be a way to get off this godforsaken rock and fly to planet Earth to meet myself. Maybe there 'should' be a generator somewhere to top up my energy whenever I feel like it, or maybe there 'should' be an all-powerful sword only I can get that deals the maximum amount of damage possible with all four damage types and deals all the stats with every hit and has the range of my screen-No. Not even.

There is no 'should'. There is only ever 'maybe'.

- "I really like this game"..."But every time I lose energy I have to wait"..."I think it"..."Well I think Mist tanks"..."I can't see why"...I...I,I,IIIII...

Don't you get it? Somewhat surprisingly, this game is not all about YOU. Deal with it. This FORUM is about improving the game for the COMMUNITY as a WHOLE. Would it be good for the game if OOO decided to make things easy and give everyone instant T3 access and infinite ME? NO, considering the game would then be finished in less than 12 hours, give or take a few thousand years for the purely hopeless.

"Also I don't care what Askua thinks screw what you say Xylka."

Askuka is a well-known rager around these parts. PARTICULARLY when the 'newguy around town' decides that he/she is too good for the search bar too look up long dead threads already detailing the several thousand reasons NOT to implement said suggestion. And although blunt, harsh, and somewhat over-the-top most of the time, what Asuka says is MOSTLY true.

XYLKA is more of a thinker, and methinks ethical person. When given, his opinion usually holds more weight than the average poster, because most us us can rely on him to have at least THOUGHT OUT his posts, instead of vomiting out whatever fecal matter comes to mind.

NEITHER should be taken lightly in ANY CASE, unless COMPLETELY out of line for whatever reason. And in this case, although harsh, and blunt, and justified, considering your less-than-savoury and THOUGHTLESS retort, they are in fact, CORRECT.

- "I don't break the ecomony" 'Course you don't. I don't break anything either; everything that I pick up magically turns into two pieces.
In all seriousness, your lack of knowledge about the effect this would have, and the utter disregard for other people's logical arguments leads me to believe you have a less-than-basic knowledge of what an economy IS. Throwing back words people use at you without knowing what they are 1) completely defeats the purpose of trying, and makes you look like and idiot 2) makes you look as dense as the guy who takes what you say and thro-owait.

"You can't get it anywhere else." Precisely. And that is how it's going to STAY. As afore mentioned, a purchasable alternative would make either itself or it's original useless, considering they are now two fish sharing the same pond; Same size, same type, whichever's easier to catch becomes your new pet.

"If the devs make the suggestion possible in the update it will be that will be awesome. :)"

Don't even make me pull out my all-powerful-sword idea again. What's 'awesome', and what's actually useful, worth the effort and a viable suggestion are different things entirely. Being able to make an Iron-Man knight, with a body made from vibranium (so I can't be hurt), repulsors, precision-targeted-metallic-pellet launchers, a Uni-beam, rockets, various upgrades and Thor's hammer would be awesome, for ME, but not for a Thor+Iron man hater, but ultimately, is not a worthwhile idea to even DISCUSS on a field such as this.

Also, if you can't accept that your suggestion was a bad one, based on logic from people that know what they're talking about, you have no place posting ideas here.

Your suggestion was bad, and selfishly conceived, thought out, and delivered, and your attitude towards others is terrible, and self-important.

Not sure if breaches language restrictions, but the rest of the gif was necessary.

"there's no need to insult

"there's no need to insult your fellow players"

Look who's talking. You insulted people first. They just said the thread was bad.

" It's like you actually research this stuff before you counter argue me"

We do, unlike someone we all know who didn't before he started. Problem?

"read before you comment."

Done that. That statement was irrelevant.

"You can complain all you want about the suggestion and be smart-alecks"

I already covered the 'self important' part in my last post. In any case, 1) We don't have to be smart. Nowhere did we say were smart. We just know what we're talking about. 2)It's called constructive criticism. But when the OP in uncooperative and the idea is selfish and silly, it's called shooting down.

Not our fault you can't take a hit. I've had many more posts on my own weapon suggestion thread telling me how OP it is. I either counter-argue their point, or concede and make an alteration. You did neither. You, effectively, told them "I don't care what you think". No, wait, you said that literally.

You brought this on yourself. Don't even TRY blaming it on someone else.

All of us in this thread, save for possibly Halifix, have been here within the first year of SK's official launch, some sooner. We, unlike you, more or less know what we're talking about. That's not ego, that's not confidence, that's not stuck-up-snobbishness, that is a fact. I, personally have had a year or so to develop that skill: 'knowing what I'm talking about'.

@Batmanrocks: I would cut him some slack, if the slack were worth cutting. I came to this thread objectively. I left it irritated at his inability to listen.

Mistakes:
1) Did not search his topic, otherwise he would have noticed the other million threads similar to his own.
2) Worded the idea selfishly, backing it up with only what he believes is good for himself.
3) Rebutting players aggravated by his previous mistakes.
4) Pointing fingers where there are no culprits.

Also, my post is long because It had a lot to say. Common here. Some span pages larger than 2. Did you even read it?

Calm down Pyshco!

Wow you are 'veteran forumers'. That's new at least Trae gave me advice how I could mist energy. You just went into a fit over this topic. Like I say do you research this stuff before you comment? If you do how sad. Psyhco you have offically wasted you life typing this pointless post. But I forgot veterans don't get along with newbies or 'noobs' so why bother? Don't waste my time Psyhco. I understand I shouldn't insult others but you these guys were annoying me.

"Don't waste my time

"Don't waste my time Psyhco."

Then don't waste mine, or anyone else's by continuing this useless and childish argument. They were 'annoying' you? Then you have an extremely low tolerance threshold. The worst they said was an implication, and "graveyard this".

"Like I say do you research this stuff before you comment?"

No. I don't need to. A year and more of playing the game provided me with what I needed to know up to now. Two minutes on the forums provided the basics. You possess neither.

"Psyhco you have offically wasted you life typing this pointless post."

No, I wasted 10 minutes at best. Stop making such useless points, they really don't get you anywhere. I could make a list of all the other things that are a waste of time, but that in itself would be a waste.

I also doubt you read my post either.

"But I forgot veterans don't get along with newbies or 'noobs'"

How can you forget what you don't know? Veterans DO get along with noobs, only some of the 'noobs' decide that their opinion is truth and refuse to be swayed otherwise.

Also, newb=noob. Newb=New guy. Noob=Guy that has little-no idea what they are doing.

"at least Trae gave me advice"

Trae is the nice guy of the forums. He rarely gets upset at anyone. If he posts, he'll go easy on even the most thick-headed of posters.

You ignored valid points and provided no better counter-argument than 'I think different to what you think also I no care what you say'. This is the least of what should be expected in response.

I'm wasting my time trying to explain what you did wrong, and even more time restating my own points. You are neither tolerant nor cooperative. If you can't take a hit to your idea, you have no place here.

As for me, you've wasted enough of my time, more so when I bothered to reply. Enjoy your first thread; it counts as your first failure on the forums as well.

Thick-headed of posters

I thought I shouldn't insult people on the forums but you are insult me. Hypocrisy much. This tells me you get along with lots of people in the forums newbs espically. You are kina immature you can deny all you want. But you're gaining smarts from trying to be intelligene about the a game iafter all.

I'm done with you'll give me a long winded post so cya later friend =) Hope you'll try to grow up. XD

You didn't say it's a suggestion. So I'm done. You guys can't help people so stop commenting. I know critism when I see it. You probably wait for me to comment to feel like your smart and you help others. Go back to group and bashing on other people ideas. I like to hear your ideas I be the judge if it's good or not.

Sheesh.. stop dissing this

Sheesh.. stop dissing this guy, it is a logical suggestion. Just tell him why it won't work.

You see, energy prices need to be higher than the amount earned per run, otherwise people can get unlimited playtime.

Meanwhile, those elites have access to FSC, which costs 30 me per run but pays out 4k per run.

In other words, Mist energy tanks would have to be priced at above 12k. A pretty expensive item.

How is smart alek an insult?

How is smart alek an insult? Bugs bunny is a smart alek. Stephen Colbert is a smart alek. There are two types of people, happy smart aleks, and angry fools.

"I don't break the ecomony and don't give and damn about CE I don't want to waste it I use it for crafting."
Right. Go back to leapfrog games.

"I know critism when I see it."

I like the fake XD at the end of his post, and how he claims to find this entertaining. Seems rather insecure. I smell rage. It wasn't you "post", it was your "post's". You've pretty much gone off on anyone who disagrees with you, then you tell me that I'm the one taking it to seriously. I didn't take this seriously at all, not one word in my post even had to do with your actual suggestion. Be lucky you get a handicap since this fourm is moderated. Fool isn't my usual word of choice.

"To be honest I don't care about everybody's opinon on the post."

Wow, his english really is terrible.

Spelling and grammar aside...

"Thick-headed of posters

I thought I shouldn't insult people on the forums but you are insult me. Hypocrisy much."

What the fudgecakes? English clearly is not your first language; even my hot blooded little brother who seems to want to pick a fight with me at every opportunity would read that differently to you.

I said he would 'go easy on the most think-headed of posters'. No names mentioned, no fingers pointed. But I suppose if you consider yourself a think-headed poster, you still can't blame me for supposedly calling you one; you think you're one yourself.

Your posts are useless, with little worth other than the energy required to touch your keyboard. Your argument was always dust, and your feigned amusement does not fool anyone.

"You guys can't help people so stop commenting"

You don't help. Period. So stop posting altogether plox.

"I'm more mature than you because I'm moving on an forgetting the post but you insist that your opinion should be hear through you long winded posts."

That post proves nothing in the slightest. 1) 'Moving on and forgetting?' Do you honestly need someone to go and count the number of posts you made since that statement? Inclusive of that post? 2) My posts are 'long winded' because they actually have some thought behind them. I could just say 'Hurrdurr u dumb gtfo' but that says nothing but the text on the screen.

"Waste my the precious minutes of your life on the post."

This statement made no sense whatsoever.

In fact you, don't make sense.

"Your reactions entertain me. XD"

Without bragging, I can honestly say you didn't even 'ruffle my feathers'. I was calm throughout the whole writing of my posts, irked, but keeping my temper in check the whole time.

Rather, you amuse me with your deep-seated lack of understanding. You can barely form a coherent sentence, the result of which is easily laughable; you don't listen to what other people say, when the clearly know more than you; you toss around insults like you know what they mean, when they apply more to you than to others; and you tell everyone to grow up when clearly, you're being the most childish around here.

Now, unless you have something SMART or USEFUL to say, why don't you go back over to that corner and play with your legos. No, the other corner. Your arguments have no substance, and no point other than to try and 'prove' that you are somehow better than us.

We are not 'better than you'. Technically speaking, you are 'worse than us'.

Just go away. Simple. You won't be missed, and would have barely been noticed to have left. You claim not to care either, so why bother hang around?

@Hmmnm: I would have cut out the 'dissing' of my post to explain why, if I thought he would even listen to what anyone else had to say. His last response to an explanatory statement was akin to: 'That's cool, but I still want my way'. Judging by previous responses, I didn't think he'd deserve the courtesy.

@Everyone else: It's a waste of time to post here anymore guys, not like he'll even get what you say anyway.

A side note: I'm not posting because I like having the last word. I initially posted because there was a post of mine clearly misinterpreted, intentional or not. That cleared up, there is no more reason for me to post. At least, there shouldn't be.

That should be it. Feel free to post after me if you feel like prolonging this...thing. Otherwise, I'm done. OP clearly does not understand anything you say to him, so it's pointless to argue further.

Sorry Physco and respone to everybody

Sorry Physco I was wrong about what you said about you. Anyway I know I clearly misinterpreted you and I was acting like a jerk I admit. Also I see I cause a lot hate among you guys. If you guys stop and graveyard it I would apperciate it because the community I just find obxious in my opinon.
But I'm literally not enraged by this because it pointless for you picking a fight over nothing. Besides it's the internet you expect obxious people. I don't I have friends on the forums I didn't come here to make friends because I have friends on the game it's self. But if everybody keeps posting on this I don't know what you guys are accomplishing from picking on me. So it just shows that you guys pick on newbies for mere enjoyment just you been on it for a year. I mean come on. Ah well. I'm not enraged I just have enough. Let me guess you gonna make fun of me now. I see the forums isn't a good place to share ideas so I keep that in mind. It's either that the people ruin the community. I'm done

So bye then.

DEADBUNNY!!!

So...I thought you didn't care about this thread? Why bother about this when everyone doesn't care about it anymore and it's on the 3rd page? 2 words come to mind; Attention seeker.

CUT THAT OUT THAT AIN'T NICE AT ALL!!!

Really, with all those I's out of the way, his idea isn't THAT bad.

@OP

Now, if you are still reading this, (and I hope you are, I might mail you saying something like this) you must note that some people in the community really EXPLODE when they see something they don't like and then proceed to HATE THE CRAP OUT OF IT. Some suggestions are really flawed, like the one about getting around the PVP fees, but others are meh. I would personally ignore the people who give a lame response and don't fight your logic with their real logic. If you want to make suggestions some things to do are: giving a lot of information, making sure the grammar has been fixed, and making sure to make it look the least selfish is the best way to keep picky/illogical people at bay.

Now, for your idea. For one, there are already mini mist tanks obtainable through PVP bribing. However, I don't think your idea itself isn't THAT bad. If it was featured auctions and was for a reasonable price, (maybe bid price could start at half that of current CE price) maybe it would work.

@Demonicsothe, I don't know what you're talking about. It is very entertaining to poke oatmeal and you can even lick the oaty goodness off your poking finger afterwards.

@Autofire, Auctions may not work as well as you think. As soon as the bid price reaches the cost of CE (or even before that due to the 100 ME limit), bidding will stop. It doesn't matter how low bidding starts, it will always hit that wall and just stop. It would become another way to buy energy and it would be inferior to CE in every way.

OK... Breathe for 2 seconds.

Forum veterans... the forumites... whatever you call us. We go through a ton of walls of text every single day. We want to make sure that Spiral Knights becomes something that the community as a whole will enjoy. Before I go further, I must post this as a reminder to myself about my current status regarding the OP.
As you may have noticed... I posted a ton of pony... in a short amount of time. That is because I am ATTEMPTING to tolerate and love you as I do every single person within this community. Except asukalan. He appears to have formally requested removal from the list. (Just kidding... well.. he might now that he knows he can)
ANYWAY.
Your suggestion is that we manage to get mist tanks... somehow... via buying them from a vendor or trading tokens with brinks.

Let's start with step 1:
Giving the option for cr to be how you buy the mist tank brings out the hate in us. Because we know that in order for the CE/Cr trade rate to maintain a somewhat steady level, things like this must not happen. I'll explain why.
Say you can buy these things for the current ce price... believe it's in the 7.6k range atm. Now you have two issues. The mist tank only fills your me, so not all of your investment will be saved... and secondly, mist is capable of being regenerated in the first place. So you may as well leave it up to trading for CE in this case. Since you're guaranteed 100 energy and it will be able to be added to what you regenerate within your tank.

Now, doing it with tokens is a matter I could see having potential. We get 5* trinks after all. However, once again, this will affect the Sk economy because now, while I farm [insert farmable area with tokens here] I can save the [insert generic tokens here] aside and try to get a mist tank so I can grind more out of the boss. SO, how to deter this or at least dilute the effect on the economy? We make it 100 tokens or more. Which, with most people, brings it back to "why not just buy CE?" If I can make 200 mist worth of profit off of one day of mist... then I will abuse that, same as players abuse KoA, same as they abuse the prestige mission. It's just too easy to make a profit off of, which will inflate the price of ce, resulting in a far less happy community as a whole.

While I'm not in complete and utter rejection of this concept... I am in slight rejection of someone like you heading the thread responsible. As you didn't use the search bar to see everyone's arguments against suggestions like this. (Which amazingly enough, drupal is capable of) Or even show evidence to the action of perusing past page 1 of the suggestions forum (I'm sure mist condensing usables (last suggestion at least related) are around page 2 or 3). Not to mention you decided to go and insult/intentionally offend forum veterans. Do you know nothing of how forums work? Forumites stick together... akin to family. We even have a crazy person who may as well wear a tin foil hat outside sometimes, but we enjoy him from time to time. (Lookin out for ya Asuka) Intentionally offending a member of our community who comes on more than once, who we know almost personally, will not make our responses magically turn sweet.

Basically, this idea, without balance into almost ineffective investment, draws off whatever income OOO makes from the game... which could result in disinterest for the creators within the game... so the issue is in order to balance this suggestion, we wind up making the item/concept so lacking in cost-effectiveness that we may as well just stick with the system in place.

And honestly, if you're just using your mist for crafting... then the ce works just as fine last I checked.
Thanks for coming. And welcome to the suggestions forum. Don't worry, almost everyone's first thread winds up seeing a little rage.

I'm sorry, but how exactly

I'm sorry, but how exactly did you break Asuka down? If anything, she's considerably more composed than she was earlier.

@OP Seerusly, just buy CE. This thread really is useless.

Admittedly, I did skip the 2nd half this thread, so really I couldn't give a crap about the ensuing flame war.

@OP

I'm sorry, I have to reject this suggestion. Look at me mumbling, Marvelrock.

IF NEXT TIME I SEE SOMEONE USING 100 MISTS TANKS TO LOWER CRAFTING FEES AND RAGECRAFT MORE 2 STAR ITEMS, I WILL RAGE QUIT. YE KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THINGS GET INTO IT. IT'LL BE SO WROOONG.

That's why there's always limited Mist Tanks. I'm terribly sorry, OP.

Also, was there a thread post brawl in here? :3

I like how at the end of the post brawl, Marv realizes he's dead meat, so he goes and makes himself seem all humble and obedient, then he goes into a half rage at the end of it, then decides to ragequit.

I hope there's at least somebody in the world who will have the patience to hire you for a job.
