darkSpyro

When are the dark characters coming?

I was being cautious and tried using the codes, the portal worked the codes didn't.

What is the portal that everyone is using? Can the games portal be connected to the iPhone game?
My son got the 5 darks, enchanted hoot loop, nitro MC and the legendaries so we have been unable to add them to the game.

The Bluetooth portal from the Mobile Portal Pack works with Swapforce figures. They did not need to release a new one.

They are in the game, they just don't show up on the select screen for purchase. If you have them, you can put them on the portal. Dark Spyro is points to the old Dark Spyro, so if you already added him, you won't get anything, but the others are all new.

I see, I guess it is for Battlegrounds which he doesn't have. Not going to spend $50 for it. Thank you for letting me know.

It was the SKylanders Spyro's Adventure Pack for iPad and iPhone, basically a Bluetooth portal.

The starter packs have been as low as $24 in some electronics shops trying to clear them before the Swapforce.

Is there any way to get these to register THROUGH the packaging? I'd like to hold off and see if they release a next gen version of this pack and if so I will be returning mine.

That being the case, I can't really open it, but I'd like to unlock the figures if possible.

Some of them are too small and positioned too far away from the sides for the portal to detect them (Spyro & Stealth Elf); if you want them, you'll have to take them out.

I can't even get the big swap force guys to register. I was hoping there was a way to extend the ranges somehow.

I am in Ireland and got the Dark Pack today for the Wii, I was able to load the Dark Figures up via my portal from the pack without opening it, I don't know if it is packaged differently in the USA.

By the way Dark Spyro, comes in a regular Sypro, I got energy for him though. As the shields are gone, it is no real benefit to add him!

I had to open the dark pack to scan the dark characters. Not a big deal because it slid out easy and slid back ready for Santa to deliver in a couple months. Funny how the new legendary variants are not registering through the portal, gets an error. Oh well, 104 skylanders is a lot to play with, got all my balloons, sanctuarys, and house going 24/7

wait, will only scanning the dark character work? I'm assuming you mean placing them on the bluetooth portal, but doesn't that prevent the figures from remembering their deeds in the swap force game whenever you take them off the portal? Or does that only happen if you put them in swap force before lost islands?

Is there a way I can enter the codes instead?

The Bluetooth portal was resetting the figures. I would assume that if the dark characters had money/Xp loaded on them, it would erase that. But that glitch had apparently been fixed.

We had only played the first level and upgraded DWB once. We did lose that after using the Bluetooth portal, but last night DWB seemed to regain money, experience, etc without any problems. I haven't used the Bluetooth portal since though.

What system are you playing it on (swap force)?

What about Swap Force's Dark Spyro. His code wont register (even though the character exists in the game) and when I use my portal to try to load him into Lost Islands he just shows up as Spyro. Is anyone else having this problem? I also noticed that he shows up as Spyro in Skylander's Adventure and a Special in Giants, but not as Dark Spyro (a character that already existed).

I didn't try dark spyro since I had him unlocked already but it should unlock the dark spyro already in the game like barf eruptor should just unlock eruptor.

That is certainly what I would have expected.

What I want to know is, why dark ninja stealth elf registered on the iPad 2 and not on the iPhone 4S?

I was able to get them to scan. I read online somewhere about the copper wiring inside resonating with the other portals. Apparently if two portals are close enough it "extends" the range. By placing the blutooth portal on the back and my console portal (unplugged from anything) on the front and patiently moving it around, the dark 'landers came through.

It is slow and does require some pretty precise positioning though. Just thought I'd share.

I was sitting in a different room from our other portal, in fact had successfully loaded another figure just seconds before. I have used different locations when I have tried again all to no avail.

I thought it could be the amount of time, but it does not even say it is reading. It does not recognise it is there.

Thanks for the suggestions though.
