In spiral knights i've heard people saying that feeding a battle sprite is too much and leveling it up is to expensive as well, but what i think could make the game better is if there was a battle sprite daycare that if you battle sprite is there the heat will slowly go up until its maxed out then that's when you have to feed it a power mote, dust etc. but the higher level it is the slower it will go up

No, Zeddy, He's saying you wouldn't have to feed it at all. The heat just goes up.
I don't think it's so bad right now. It is getting slow for me now, but I mean, the sprites weren't meant to be leveled up to 100 in just a few days. It should be a little slow.

Carry it along you while clockworing and it will slowly heat up anyways.
What is the purpose of this system? level up while you're offline?

Just by reading the first sentence...wait, there are no sentences. Ahem. Just by reading the first line, I can tell this is very opinionated because some of the players already leveled theirs to 100 by the second day. Most, before the sprites have been out a full week.

Well Juances not really level
Well Juances not really level up just feeding it while your online. And Coelydragon what about people who are offline for a few days it could work fine for them

great idea
Also let us gain crowns while were offline. Call it payment for running the sprite daycare. It will benefit the players who are offline for a few days.

FALCON PUNCH!
Yes this idea would be cool, but not needed, considering you only have to level it up to 100 then your done, I don't think the sprites were meant to be leveled up in 48+ hours like they were ;w;

Sprites aren't the same as the SA2B Chaos...

I bet that if you start a new character and slowly raise it to T3, you won't have any food problems and it'll always be of the same level than you.
Everyone has the urge to level them up now because they are weak compared to our already leveled gear.
Consider that a new player would have to farm heat, orbs, crystals, crowns..... collecting plenty of minerals along the way

Its not...
ITS NOT LEVELING THEM UP! The point is while your away they simply gain heat if they leveled up then there's no point in battle sprite just leave them there until they`re level 100? The point is to leave them they`re while your away when your online you get them back and you feed them what they need to level up or evolve then you do what you usually do to feed them and level them.

Derpuraptor strikes back
Guide to success:
Make the actually needed amount of Orbs and Stars
Get out for one hour+
Go back
Feed required mat
Repeat
This is what you actually want, don't you? The players here are too exploitable to be trusted with such. They have no sense of leveling themselves in a fun way, proto Knights already were going into FSC to get Ancient Plate + FoV before sprite update with the help of their omgsupperdupermegaophax0mgopplznerfOOOlistentousplznerf Chaos/Black Kat/Skolver friends.

updating my crowns suggestion
@sky its a great idea because the crowns aren't being spent on anything, its just sitting in you inventory. There's absolutely no risk of a crown inflation. Because people can't spend it until they come online.

How slow will this daycare be? Will it cost anything? You're saving a lot of effort and increasingly expensive 5* mats using it, keep that in mind.

Costs
It would cost something free to feed it 0* mats. 1k For 1* mats. 2k for 2* mats. 4k for 3* mats. 8k for 4* mats 10k for 5* mats
5* 1 day
4* 2 day
3* 3 day
2* 4 day
1* 5 day

my 2 cents
It would cost something free to feed it 0* mats
It would cost something free...
...cost something free...
Wait what... I don't... even... wut?
Just play the game... if you want your sprite to level you have 2 choices:
A) Heat him up via missions/arcade run <---- Vana is good for that
B) Feed him mats... you can feed him ecto drop if you want, it still helps, and people might give you some if you ask for 'em (seriously)

Great idea! Should I also rename my character to Ash Kethcup?

Free...
I chose free for 0* mats because they level slowly and cost is for because higher star mats like snarbostuffing can do allot of heat

Buuuuuuuuuutttt.....
Sprites already gain heat from you bringing them around. You don't actually need to feed them, but it takes a whole lot less time.

Clockworks heat!?
The heat you gain from the clocks you can barely see it it would take at least a few days maybe more for it to go halfway
Sprite appetite already goes up over time and effectively does this.
