So, we are wondering what questions any of you might still have about anything Swap Force related. We have the opportunity to get some more answers from the Vicarious Visions developers. Let us know soon!
Thanks guys

Will the Water Skylanders swim in water in the game?

Will previous adventure packs work with the game and the same with the previous magic items and battle pack items?Also will the new portal work with the previous games?

Will the Skylanders' quests and heroics carry over to this game?

You will REIGN SUPREME if we get some answers on the following.

• I'm unsure what we're doing for upgrades here. I know about legendary treasure being placed in Woodburrow, but that's it. I've heard (but no official confirmation) that Heroics are not coming back. That gives me the uneasy feeling that there's no grinding on skylanders per se and that you place an attribute in game to control how the skylanders performance is controlled. If that's all there is for upgrading...where's the replay value?
  


• Ask them to explain the stats screen of a skylander better. FGTV put Hot Dog on the portal and it looked like speed was 90% upgraded on the stats screen and speed was only 43. Kinda worried there that the top stats of existing skylanders have been nerfed--to the extreme. Using the video as an example the top speed of an upgraded Hot Dog is 55-60?
  





• Confirm use of DLC in Swap Force and if so what will characters unlock?
  


• Confirm Series 2 Giants characters Wow Pow will be implemented in Swap Force.
  


• Confirm Camo in Swap Force is Series 3. If so, please explain numbering scheme as last Camo was a Series 1.
  


• Confirm lightcores still does not have wow pows in Swap Force.
  


• Confirm or deny use of SSA location and magic items in Swap Force.
  


• Confirm or deny bug release plans for Swap Force. The previous games have not had fixes.
  


• Confirm or deny a bank feature.
  


• Confirm or deny figures denoted as SPECIAL in Giants will/will not be labeled accordingly in Swap Force.
  


• Confirm or deny the Swap Force portal can be used with Giants and Spyro's Adventure games.
  

And if you use a Series 3 in Skylanders: Giants, will it have it's S2 counterpart's wow pow?

^ Pretty sure it's a replacement wow pow.

i realy want to see some new powers, and also some more upgrades and wow pows

Will there be a new non-playable character who assists Skylanders safely deposit all their gold to avoid overflowing and frivolous spending?

I see A Skylanders Bank has been heavily mentioned throughout the months.

Basically, the questions I was gonna ask, were the ones Ghostroaster did.

I want to know why it showed Hot Dogs Speed stat at a mere 43, and it was nearly upgraded entirely, which means that the Skylanders will be moving super slow in this game (not a good thing). So basically, how do you upgrade your Skylanders in Swap Force, and can you take those upgrades upwards of 90+ like you could in Spyro's Adventure and Giants.

I am really worried about how far you can upgrade Skylanders in this game. It's also going to worry me about my currently upgraded Skylanders, as are they nerfed again, like they were when you play them in Giants after having upgraded them in Spyro's Adventure.

Hi skylanders kids i have no questions about the game but i am a huge fan and you are the best dad ever. My only question is what id you alexis and micheals favorite core giant and swapper. Sorry if i fanboyed a bit (if you see comments sayin minecastlord thats me!)

Is there a bank?

What is the hub world like?

Do magic items (AND the sidekicks) work?

Any online features?

Thanks MasterEon909,
Lexi favorite swapper is Hoot Loop and Michaels is Stink Bomb (at the moment) Though he says Rubble Rouser, but that's just based on the looks.

We put up our top 5 favorites for Giants on a recent video.

It's all good, we appreciate your support!

What is the jump button for Wii? And are there any other catchphrases or powers you can reveal? Is there a 'survival mode' where enemies keep coming until you die? Will there be new swappable sidekicks??? That would be awesome!!! P.S. I am Subskybed to you guys on youtube and I hope I can win the contests!!!

• Are they implementing DLC for content that will only be unlocked by purchasing Skylanders as they have in previous games (like heroics)?

• Will a Series 2 Wow Pow be implemented on series 2 characters in game as well as the new character series 3 wow pows (my assumption is that the new characters wow pows are REPLACEMENT wow pows).
  


• Please help us understand why the poster says Camo is Series 3 when there were no series 2 for the character.
  


• Please confirm all SSA location and magic items are/are not supported in Swap Force.
  


• Bug fixes for previous games weren't there, and some have been a little nasty. What's the plan on rolling out fixes?
  

Can you link us to the Family Gamer video please? Thanks!

As far as levels and new never before shown toys and all those things, we will definitely ask for that! Definitely will ask about Sidekicks, but to be honest when we were at Toys for Bob and we saw the sidekicks of Giants there, we asked & they still wouldn't confirm even though we all knew/seen pics of them since Oct 12!
Good luck!

Will they continue with the limited edition variants? Will they make rare variants of Swaplanders?

^It is. Lucy, they have some splaining to do. Hey skylanderkids--I've subscribed and liked your videos....

I see A Skylanders Bank has been heavily mentioned throughout the months.

From whom? Activision? Nice to know. Bank is going to be required since 1. figure can only know about 65k and 2. if they extend the stuff you have to pay for this is going to be required. That way, the game save file stores the coins until you "transfer" it to a skylander for upgrades.

Thanks Ghost Roaster! And sorry for being so vague, I meant the fans, everyone has been asking about bank/vault to store/swap monies.

^Cool thanks. Yeah, see if you can get any intel on a bank feature. Added it to my list. Also edited my post with more content/items and links when requested.

my only question is will the heroics that I have already done on my skylanders convey higher stats in swap force?

I just want to know that I can use Swap Force-generation figures of older characters in the older games (for example, Swap Force Dark Spyro). The rest is a surprise for me!

Could you ask them if dark spyro will have purple fire attacks instead of red?

I hope they don't change it to red fire the purple fire was really cool!

What I'd like to know is can both players enter the unique swap zones if they are both the same type? Like if both players have th eclimb ability or the bounce ability can they both be in the zone?

Added more questions to my list.

Got them! I've gathered everyones so far from here and facebook as well as our own. Now we may have too many! lol
We expect to get these answered by early Next week and will work on getting vids out as soon as possible.

Will SSA adventure pack items work in SSF

Will there be more dark skylanders that arent in the dark starter pack
Is rubble rouser spin or dig
Who will be included in the battle packs and adventure packs (im meaning sheep wreck and arkeyan crossbow)
Will they make fire bone molten hot dog ?

Awesome, this is a great service and I appreciate the gesture.

I don't know if questions are still being taken, but will the backstories of the Skylanders require you to have that character's toy to view it?

Will the new characters (Core and Swap Force) unlock a new heroic challenge/bonus mission every time you register one?
I just want to know before I end up buying a bunch of new characters on release day.

Thanks!

I'm guessing yes as I've heard it is accessed off of the character menu.

Rumor has it that Heroics go away. My set of questions address both DLC and how we upgrade skylanders, so I think we're covered here.

Will all the swaplanders be available in singles? Will any be exclusive to double packs? (not talking about variants)

Will the Cleared Time achievement after finishing levels be removed? I really can't stand having to go back for the start of each level just to race to the finish against whatever specific time like clearing the course under 9:00.

Is there an accolade for creating 256 different Swap Force Skylanders combos? If so, that sounds way too much for me to handle.

And will each new Skylanders figure open up new Heroic Challenges or something like that much like the first and second games?

If you look at the end, there is no time limit requirement...so I think you're right. They've REMOVED the TIME LIMIT challenge!

But--they've added in a "hunt and find" task---in this level it's "Lost Mittens".

Hi guys! U rock! What are your favorite cores? I'm dieing to know!

I just really want to kno who's in wave one! DX

Will Slam Bam be a more appropriate size, like, say, the size of Stump Smash; given that he's a yeti and all? Or, will he still be closer to elf size as in previous games? I mean, seriously!

Will there be swappable sidekicks

Everything related to the skylander named Wind up

question when will video be un-privated

The plan was to feed little things here and there all day, but to be honest, it was great to go and meet everyone but unfortunately they just wouldn't give up any juicy info or let us show on camera every swap force character including mistakes and concepts. I will say this just to hold you over until we can get some vids out Nitro Magna Charge is not faster, he is the same in game (coming from Guha Bala) and there are no Swappable sidekicks (coming from the man who creates the characters himself), although it could change. Also Stats have not been nerfed, we'll explain in video with interview from Guha. We did get some cool, new exclusive stuff no one else or will have anytime soon so that's cool, but no Dark Gampeplay, no wind-up, no punk shock etc.. However, lightcore whamshells pose is a favorite of ours (i was allowed to skype kids in to see stuff) we just couldnt show it which believe me, is a bummer and a let-down as I thought they would give it up. But it will be worth the wait, trust!

But the question is..

Movement types for RR, DS and TS?

Rubble Rousers bottom half has a drill. Trap Shadow is sneak. His figure has his finger in front of his mouth (like he's saying shhh!) it's really neat.

YESS YESS RUBBLE ROUSER IS DIG, OH THANKS YOU I HOPED SOO FOR THAT!

everyone party!

What comes out day 1?

I would just like to know if the animation that plays when a Skylander lands in a level is still present, in Swap Force. Thanks, and also thanks for this AWESOME service! You are great!

I (Skylander Dad) asked all sorts of information pertaining to retail but got no answers, the reason was they said they don't handle the retail side of things so they really couldn't answer in fully. But I can try to get answers from the marketing department at Activision but thats' a no promise type thing.
