Updated: "Petition" towards OOO: Let old knights created before this patch redo the character creation. You know what I mean OOO
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.
meh, just give me a few crowns and I'll choose if I accesorize or not :)
We vill win this war Nick... Bumpity bump bump bump.
Yes, I want to recreate my knight.
Playing for two years, being bombarded by all manor of new things, still no magnus buff and no winfinity, given a new UI that completely changes my FOV that I've been used to. Running, shutting down and reopening a giveaway, joining 3 different guilds, quitting twice and waiting for new levels, as well as many other things that I dare not speak about... I feel as if I should have freedom to recreate my proto stuff.
Ho this tread is still alive :D ... wait is this a necro I see above ?
also +1
+1 but if the UI is changed a little (being able to drop stuff out of quick slots and HP back in the middle along with shield and heat) it'll be +9001
We shall win this OOO. " One Shall Stand, One shall Fall. "
I can't remember if I signed, if not then I sign now :)

I just want to be unique from all the clones out there I find it EVRRY annoying give me a armor creation system please
You CAN create your own armor. It's called "Crafting". Putting "Accessories" is "modification".
+1
It probably doesn't make a slight difference and OOO probably doesn't give a stuff about giving older players the (not so) new customization options, but whatever (can't remember if I signed this before).
At this point who cares?
Just put these ugly accessories they give you at first...
And get your "halfway" height... it will cost 70k cr and your useless proto gear will look cool...
I can't even remember the last time I put my proto gear on... I think it was before the missions update because no one could tell I was 5* and could act like a newbie ^ ^
I probably signed this when I rejoined in November or December... but after creating 5 mules... the accessories aren't worth it... People would get flak jacket with a ribbon with small or big height (which is still nothing compared to x-small or x-tall) and that's that...
Seriously go create a knight and check the custom they have vs what we had...
At least if you stick to your color it is a limited version since there wasn't any pre-set back then... Only a grade from red to pink (was really awkwardly separated) you could slide and pick whatever you wanted. My friend still rocks his yellow-orange-ish color that cannot be match via Vatel colors :D
People never mention that though...
465 replies for a cosmetic change when there are better things to improve on? An admin posts and it isn't even to acknowledge the problem? 465 replies later and still nothing?

Well, the main thing is the height mods. I sorta want a Tall Height Mod, but I've never been able to save enough for it. @.@
I'm always supporting my guild now-a days. If I didn't do that, I'd always feel impelled to spend the cr on CE, not a height mod. Also, I'm still not sure if I should get a height mod or not...
If they did this and let older players get these for free, then I'd be paying for something which I could get for free later.
One year later, a living proof of OOO policy towards players, take everything give nothing.
I also think we need a npc that sells proto armor so we can have different vanity sets.(i'm sure that a lot of female players would like the different colors of the female sets for vanity, so you can use it with other armor)
Necroing combined with sexism, failing to search for other threads, and advertising your own. Good job.
So do you think this will ever happen or they will hope we shall just forget so they can scoot it under the rug?
Something that would help with this happening is if they (as in OOO) in some way gave the players the ability to do the coding or at least let them know they want us to plan it out so we could I dunno, start doing some work on it :l
I'd keep the code off-limits, I can't think of it in any way but as a recipe for a disaster =)
Still, I wouldn't give up on asking the chance for a Proto Set change, thus I'll carry on here.
+1
Agreed.
DO THIS DARN IT! DO THIIIIIIIS!
...
That or add playable gremlins or something
i like my character just the way he is thanks, but i understand why other older knights might feel like doing this. so +1 for you.
oh hay this thread again.
I find this sad that only two admin posts were made to this thread and neither of them gave a shiv. This is the 477th post and this has been alive for a LONG time but all the admins do is wipe it under the rug. I'll give this a +1. Unless we spam "allow vanguards to redo our knight" on the bug reports, we will never have our say. Even though a certain 14-lettered knight will walk up to me and slap me in the face saying that it was the people, not the admins, who wanted Super Guild Halls, Shadow Keys for 1800ce, and in a few weeks the Battle Sprites.
@Klipik
Well, most of the players ARE women in Spiral Knights. I'd estimate about 97% female, 3% male. Especially Bopp. So it might be a bit sexist, but its rather correct... the playerbase DOES consist mostly of women, and the playerbase IS mostly into being fashionable.
And you know this...how?

Doh, how "I'd estimate about 97% female, 3% male." is supposed to happen?
There are no girls in internet....
Until proven, so pics or didnt happen.

+1 Wish it'd been done a long time ago. I'm a bit of a fan of the cobalt style, and I'd love to be able to have a cobalt themed proto gear.
There are no men on the internet, and all fbi agents are children.

I find it hilarious that some of you are acting like OOO hates the players. WE ARE THE PRODUCT they need us to survive, if they hated us they would just close the game.

I'd like to know where you got your statistics, because I question your source.
i kinda just realized this is a very old post heh.. yeah this is never going to happen. i want it (not that much, but it'd be nice) and i know we all think OOO doesn't care about us, but that's not very far from the truth. like others have said, it's a business and they need to make money. why would they put effort into their old players who have already spent their time and money on this game. they need to make things for the new players whom they can generate revenue from.
can you blame them?
@Bullpig
Yes I could because this would be a very decent crown sink so that OOO will have more players will come back and buy more CE. This doesn't require adding new leveks or a new boss or enemies. It honestly just takes the player to already made content.

totally +1
Lol, Bopp = Some sexy scientist?
I somehow managed a giggle...

I'm triad of feeling ripped off that the newer players get to choose things in there creation that we have to pay 50,000CR for.
Everyone, Put in only purple crystals till this gets done XD
Are you saying we have to redo our characters from the beginning? I may be vanguard and have only been for a month but it has taken me nearly a year to reach 4 to 5 stars. It seems very sad that restarting the entire game is coming. Or are you saying that as soon as we log on we still see our old knights and get a chance to redo our beginners gear? I also think that this game is beginning to crumble because you wouldn't just remove mist and all of this new wacky stuff is happening. It has helped and kept the game stable for a long time. Is this true admins?
1 this thread is for your starting gear. only starting gear.
2 of course it will be a choice.
3 the last part goes on GD.
