Updated: "Petition" towards OOO: Let old knights created before this patch redo the character creation. You know what I mean OOO

541 replies [Last post]

This petition is now focused on EDIT #3. The update is not out yet but it is a known fact that it will come. A "yes, you will redo the character creation" or "no, go eat sweaty manparts" would be appreciated. Also, petitions aren't suggestions, it is an open discussion. I will respect your decision to place it in Suggestions anyway. :)

Whether it is trough some kind of special ticket or a new NPC allowing one change, we deserve to do it too.

Please post here if you support this idea, let's show OOO we want it, however, politely.

EDIT: As of the patch on 9 May, new content, important story missions have been added to the rescue camp, and we do not have access to them on our main knights. Added to the petition. As I have said in a post, I will not let this thread die until we get a clear response.

EDIT #2: I feel like I should include this here. So, let's say OOO finally listens and does this.. BUT, in the initial creation, we wouldn't have the option to change to special eyes, or XT/XS heights, and we're sure nobody would want to lose theirs in favor of a regular set of eyes and height. So what I'm proposing to fix this, is a series of special tickets:
- One that brings you back to the rescue camp to do your missions. In your gear, nothing's changed.
- One that allows you to change your height, and eyes, basically redoing the creation process entirely.
- One that allows you to redo the creation process, BUT, your eyes and height are locked to your current ones. (this is for changing and accessorizing your proto)
I believe name changes are pretty hard to do/impossible so our names would be locked. vmv

Or if the latter is impossible, just mail us a ticket to the special eyes and heights we had after we redo the normal creation process. :P Bound ofc.

EDIT #3: I have been informed that there is new proto armor coming up soon, from the Test Server. Now that would be EXCLUSIVE to new knights. Accessories, heights and such are one thing, we can buy them. But wholly new exclusive proto is something completely else because no amount of cr can buy it. If old knights don't get to redo the creation, I can only weep and mourn to what will the forums be and the amount of pure disappointment. For those of you who dont know, there are new proto styles, like the flack jacket, draped armor, round helmet and crescent helmet that were featured on the test server.

Hey, OOO...

Something's wrong with my "Hot Bod" Mod. Can you fix it?

I agree to this.

The size of the company

The size of the company betting its chips on a game is inversely proportional to the chances of any suggestions being considered by its developers. It has nothing to do with the number of developers, how busy they are, how many fans there are, how focused their voice is, how respectable or literate they are, or their ability to directly contact the developers. This is the trend I've observed.

I actually don't care that strongly either way about this initiative, but it's certainly not a bad idea. This should've been implemented long ago, or even with the release of missions. FAIL @ Sega.

Pft, I'm way more pissed than you guys. I paid like 100k to pimp out my proto helmet (I look like a gundam :D) and now you can do it for FREE!

To be honest, perhaps that's why thay don't hand this out. They don't wanna try to pay me back for stuff I already bought, or give me new things to put on different helmets.

#359

They took too long. That's what's making it worse.

It's complicated.

OOO is probably to scared to answer our say. Maybe their hiding under their desk coming up with desperate promos ._.
i would just like an apology. You screwed up and you dont want to admit it. is it that hard to say, "im sorry"?

#363

I wouldn't be so harsh, but I do agree that they are not choosing the best way to address this.

#364
kind of jumping into a lion's den here

This thread is hilarious.

"They're screwing over older players"

You've lost nothing. New players get up to two Helm accessories, Eyes and a Height Modifier, if they so choose. It's all cosmetic. New players are not receiving preferential treatment. They just came at the right time. Imagine if new players made a 8+ rage thread asking OOO to rerelease the Rose Regalia events because they "are screwing new players over"?

@Canine-Vladimir

LOL, I can't imagine what they'd be scared of. Eight pages of "we jelly" has no real effect on OOO. Maybe if a significant portion of the playerbase stopped paying and playing they might. Or, you know, if this "mistake" of theirs had any effect on gameplay or progression. Additionally, you don't deserve an apology because OOO has done nothing to you. New players get a minor cosmetic advantage? Is that really a big enough deal to demand an apology? "I'm sorry you came too early to the game and missed out a few things new players enjoy?".

I'm not a programmer but I'd imagine being able to recreate your character would be difficult. When people were raging over being able to change your player colour they suggested similar things, but the Personal Colour Paint was much better. How would you even suggest they make it so that older players can touch some of the unbridled privilege new players flaunt at you all day?

I really don't know how their going to adress this topic but I at least hope they try, puts some faith in OOO back in for me.
But nonetheless Id like to see these changes as a possibility if not already going to be done.

if for no other reason than I'm kind of tired of OOO wooing people to spend more money and not listening to the people who already have spent money.

#370

Ysser, while you may not care for cosmetic things, others do. And this is not a promo that new players get, as opposed to them wishing for a chance at a PROMO.

But tbh, I have no issue with it. It would certainly be quite a treat, but no rush.

#372

Not because I want an interesting proto armor, but because I'd like to see whether OOO is willing to take into consideration of player requests.

I'm still waiting for the promised changes to Iron Slug.

#373
Same reason as Hmmnm

+1

But:
1. I'd like to see my Proto Armor as a Costume.
2. I'd like to redo the Rescue Camp Mission w/o wasting time creating a new knight(no offense on anyone)
3. Same Reason.

#374

Hmm, I see. Well yeah, I presume you could choose not to do that mission?

#375
I'm new, but that doesn't keep me from seeing the unfairness

I joined Spiral Knights not too long ago, though I have to say that veterans deserve the new start content just as much as I do. They deserve it even more as I do, as they found and played the game much earlier and much longer than i did so far. Forbidding them the access to new content because of this seems complete nonsense to me.

I sign up.

#376
Well

I still would like to have a tall hieght mod. Anyway I'm not buying it until I get a NO form OOO or we are allowed to chose. As a matter of fact, I don't even care about the color or the accessories. I only want to change my height.

So, OOO...

#384
Sadly

We're the minority. Forums aren't a estimate of our community.

OOO needs to have a survey.

Maybe instead of The normal RC missions, we can have t3/Danger missions/SL difficulty versions with a more harder version of raz.

Sucks that i had to pay for eyes and shortened hight just because im not new..

And im not ashamed to say but ive spent ALOT of money on this game as im sure a few others have as well. And this pisses me off.

No spoilers please. If you wish to discuss something that was seen on the testing server, please do so in the testing feedback section of the forums. Any information fished out of the game files or spiral spy should not be discussed on the forums.

Please don't protest about future content, because you do not have all the information surrounding those items. Thank you!

Brace for impact.

And then the admin waltzes in after eight pages and tears the place apart.

Fasten your seatbelt folks.

#397
When I first saw the

When I first saw the announcement I was a little peeved, but then I got over it when I saw the accessories offered were pretty common. I have a fully accessorised Spiral Sallet which looks far better than I could make on Character Creation.

Whenever a new tutorial for a game gets released, know what I do? Make a new alt, play through the tutorial then quit and delete the alt if you can, or never use it again. Simple. You've still experienced it. And unless you're going to accessorise the helmet for costume, (I would say armour but there are much better ones available) you won't be needing the gear you start with. If you chose "ugly" armour, that's your own fault, but there is the Volt/Fire/Ice breaker series of armour which offers as a neat substitute.

As for eyes and height, if you've been playing long enough you can afford those within a few Vanaduke runs easily. Neither of those offer significant advantage to the game - it's more of a luxury which nobody really notices unless someone inspects you or has a look on the player lineup at the end of a Tier or mission.

And if new proto armour's getting released soon, let the newbies have it. If it looks good though I hope another "breaker" set gets released as a substitute.

#398
Oh, this thread again

Still agree, nothing's changed except my height changed from the last time I posted here.

#399
The papaya wants to give this thread a +3

(3 is my lucky number =))
Anyways, I totally agree. *Imitates grand-dad's voice* When I was your age in Spiral, we didn't have all of those facny-smancy accessories, eyes, and height modifiers. We were all like peas in a pod. It ain't fair sonny
