Whoops! Thanks Nightmoon.

So, I've noticed were able to create ANY class at Gamescom now, but just videos of the Sorcerer and Quickshot have gone up. I guess they are the more anticipated classes then Ninjas or Swashbucklers... but Bazookers are even there too. Ughh, hope some stuff goes up to find powers.

So wait if we saw the tech swashbuckler but then he wasn't there does that mean there are different characters on each side

I doubt we know, but does anyone have prices for the other packs? Im not sure on what the double pack, Crystal triple packs, and Adventure Packs cost.

Also, have we been able to pre-order figures in the past/will we be able to this year?

Am I the only one who still has hope for Elites?

A non-SB&G video showcasing the Brawler Doomlander. Man, they're pretty freaking tough...

I find it insane people would rather watch a video in German than a video from SB&G.

At least he is not making ear piercing jokes

I still interpret the "final decision" as a final decision for that character. That you can't turn a Quickshot character into a Smasher, etc. The stickers just then help you differentiate your element crystals.

Since I know some fans are all about one type of element, this would help keep that apart.

Who knows though, but yeah something they need to be more upfront about it.

I wrote in another post:

The class will be fixed on the crystal, you an't change it afterwards. You can change the imaginator as often as you want but not the class anymore though. There's no option to reset them. I asked for it yesterday at gamescom, not in the public area - so it was someone who must know it
As i also said, it can change because i was told that there are still things that are being discussed but i don't know if that's one of them.

And there you have it, confirmation that Acti and TfB are currently being very very greedy fools. I do hope they change their minds.

If this is indeed the case I'll skip this entry. It's ridiculous to have us locked to a class we might not like after playing and wish to change. How the hell are we supposed to know what we want when we (seemingly) can't know how they play before we choose? What if I don't want to be a smasher?...I need to make another purchase...lol yeah right. It's also ironic that in a game they are hyping choice when you don't have a choice to re-class once you've set it. Why not allow a reset option? I'd still buy one crystal of each element if this was the case. In it's current state I'm just getting the starter and waiting for clearances.

Well, for once, you're not forced to use these at ANY point - Senseis unlock everything. If that's truly the case and they don't change it in an update on something, I'll just show that they're no longer interesting and support the ones we always had a choice with.

good news guys! I saw a comment on youtube saying in the first gameplay it showed quickshots were bodiless but they changed it
maybe its just an option to make them bodiless and they are just showing it off?

Well, Myskylanders.de listed some of the prices for where they live, so It could give us an idea for where we live.

Single Packs: 14.99
Creation Crystals: 9.99
CC Triple Packs: 19.99
Sensei and CC Double Pack: 19.99
Adventure Packs: 24.99

Am I the only one who finds it weird how there's been no confirmation of any side content yet, aside from the Superchargers Racing? It makes me worried that this game might fall into the same traps as Superchargers did...
Maybe they just want to keep whatever it is really secret to legitimately surprise people when the game comes out?
Hopefully?
Eh...?

Pretty worried, but we still don't have our Skylanders Academy footage anyway. It's definately a bad sign that a side mode wasn't in the spotlight this time.

CoinopTV said that he was told there were still a few surprises left to be revealed.

Well, CoinOpTV is usually a reliable source.
Maybe they'll show something off next month before the game releases? That would make sense to me...

Also, speaking of CoinOpTV, he posted gameplay of Dark Wolfgang and Golden Queen... But it's not much we haven't seen before aside from the fact that those characters are grey.

Am I the only one who still has hope for Elites?

Writing it again because no one noticed it the first time.

Both b-rolls, which a few channels posted already.

Zero hope for Elites, Deja Vu. they'd have them on the booth even if not playable.

Well I wouldn't mind if they had some new ones, but they don't seem very likely.

I honestly was never a fan of elites

I think elites have run their course.

^ this

Consider how "well" Elites sold, I'm not surprised they abandoned them.

agree they should of just made new series of them instead of reposing

Well technically they never even were reposes, they were I guess "repaints".

Yeah, it's just sad we'll never get Sunburn. (or Hex, but that's more personal)

Series 2 Elites were semi-reposes, but I get what you mean. I don't know, I liked the Elites. I had a few of them and I thought that they were great for Nightmare mode stuff.

...Yeah. That's pretty much the whole point of them. Super strong versions of the older Skylanders. What you think Acti just made shiny toys without making them better in-game?

I think they should at least finish the SSA cast, but one can only dream ;-;

Their stats are 3 times that of their normal versions. The damage output is CRAZY! Just look up gameplay on YouTube.

On true Activision said that they are actually 4 times the power of their original selves. Check some gameplay videos to see how much it is.

woah thats insane, i defininitley will look up some footage

they should do elites for skylanders from giants, swap force and trap team too
really would like an elite fistbump

The point of the first Elite line was the main Skylanders from the first game. The second line was about forgotten Skylanders from the first game. Making more than that would be a stretch in my opinion. I personally would only add Sunburn and a Air Skylander (maybe Lightning Rod) and then stop the line.

They should do elites for sunburn, fright rider and terrafin

Terrafin already has one tough.

Terrafin was one of the first Elites...

I personally would like to see the return of our feathered friends Sunburn and Sonic Boom.

I remember simply destroying everything with EE Stealth Elf in TT. And she was already broken in SSA!

I'm confused; in one Gamescom video I saw, I swear they made a sorcerer that wasn't floating. It was in the Crash Level, but I can't find the video. Now in the Brawler fight video, the sorcerer is forced to float. Which one is it, TfB? Bodies or no bodies? Tails or legs? Floating or not floating? Why won't they let anyone at Gamescom answer these questions?

Wesley? Could Andy possibly get us an image of the other side of the display at the pop up shop there is a figure that looks just like the tech swashbuckler!

I don't remember that. However, you can get the guy to nearly touch the ground by maxing out general and leg height.

I'm also looking forward to get a clarification regarding the floating thing. The sorcerers creation screen show them floating, but I think I've seen pictures which shows otherwise.

I would love to have the option of levitating/walking by tapping twice the jump button.

CC Triple Packs: 19.99

If these prices are correct, and assuming TRU has the same BOGO 50% off deal they always have on launch, then I'll be spending approximately $190 on launch, worst-case scenario with what gets 50% off. (My grandparents always buy the Starter.)

found some interesting stuff

That's almost a spoiler, and it's odd because the other bosses we've seen don't have that award tag even if their parts are scrolled over a dozen times in several videos.

German Youtubers, IDK... We basically got all the information Acti was willing to put out in the first couple days of the convention. Nothing else to really expect besides more gameplay from people that are there
