Signed.

Don't have much faith in it, sadly, but at least I tried what I could.
Aside from not buying Crystals, of course.

Less than 2 months before the release of the game, it is too late to put the change on disc. A patch is possible, but it won't happen. It cost a lot of money to have a patch approved and the game re-certified by Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, etc. (see the story about Fez and the save-breaking issue they decided not to patch due to costs for reference). Activision has the money, but it's not worth it for them to go through this trouble for just a small change that a very small portion of the fanbase truly care to get.

Post it on all of Activision's social media pages

I think we should all post a topics about fully resettable imaginite crystals in activision community, we will get more attention from activision this way.

^
110% agreed!!! if If IF we bombard Activision and/or Toys for Bob's social media pages (facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube, tumblr, pinterest, etc) with our displeasure of not being able to fully reset our Imaginite Creation Crystals, including Battle Class, they miiiiiiiight take heed.

Yeah, let's spam and annoy Activision/TFB and make it impossible for them to know if there are a lot of people who care, or if it's only a vocal minority.

It's worth a shot, it's better then just sitting here and hoping the amount of people who voted now will work

Yeah, TFB would've tied crystals to classes if they wanted that from the get go, like Trap Master weapons or heck, the Sensei weapons; or would've made the Senseis use interchangeable weapons. Acti's higher ups probably walked in one day and decided they could just mess it up halfway through.

TfB: "So, what do you think of the new gimmick, Mr. Activision, sir?"
Acti: "Mmm... It's all right, but I'm not sure if it will sell well."
TfB: "Are you kidding? People have been making their own Skylanders for years! Of course it will! We'll give them enough tools to experiment with! And if they don't like what they make they can just reset it."
Acti: "So wait, there's no reason to buy more Crystals per element?"
TfB: "No, why would there be?"
Acti: "Make the battle class thing a final decision."
TfB: "W-what!?"
Acti: "Just do it, one way or another we're going to save up to buy Jupiter!"
TfB: "B-but what am I going to tell the Game Informer interviewer?"
Acti: "I don't know, just make up some bullcrap about how having less options is more or something, now excuse me, I've got to attend another private jet show."

Hhahaha this made me laugh so hard !

Will sign soon.

The petition only needs 7 more supporters to reach 100!
SIGN IT PEOPLE

I signed, but I agree with the people who've said that a giveaway is a bad idea. The whole point of a petition is to provide an indication of how strongly people feel about an issue. The deal shouldn't need to be "sweetened" if it's truly something people care about. Activision will see the giveaway and think "how do we know most of those people didn't just sign for a chance to win a free figure?"

I also agree that fake names and addresses are a bad idea, since they could just be alts. I could post a dozen fake names and addresses myself if I wanted. They are pointless.

Not that I think a petition will help much either way, but I feel like giveaways and fake names could actually do more harm than good since it makes it look like the petition has been artificially inflated, thus implying that there are fewer people who care about the issue than there really are.

^Agreed. Giveaway is tacky.

No need to sign. If they don't reset all the way, then I simply won't buy any of them. THAT will be my petition.

yea even though it would be nice to have free swap force chase variants Acti is gonna think people entered just for the figures.

Reached 103 supporters, let's see if activision is going to do something...

i can just hear tfb Paul Reiche III voice in my head now, im sure it happen like that, lol...

i just wonder, dont these developers have the balls to have a say against stuff like this?. as i see it this is ruining the creative freedom and intentions of what they had in mind to be experienced. eon saying you need this or that for entering here, dont they see players are getting tired of this, and people lose interest in their games with more paywalls and higher costs.

I think they were probably stuck between having to compromise iether the senseis or the imaginators . Iether lock pretty much everything behind owning all of the senseis or severely limit imaginator options .

And we ended up some where in the middle. we don't have to own every sensei, but we don't get complete freedom with imaginators . Things probably could've been worse I suppose.

Here's hoping skylanders has been trying to save up money to break away from activision over the last 5 years lol

they signed a contract wit the devil so a break away is impossible.

Hah! Satan

I signed, though I'm not sure how much good it will do.

From a business stand point it makes perfect sense. We want to sell a lot of these so lock them to a specific class and people will need to buy more. From a consumer it sucks because if you pick the wrong class then you need to buy another to makeup for your mistake. Also, if they are like the traps and vehicles you will eventually not have enough different versions of these to complete the set. The last waves never actually get a proper release and we will be flooded with a ton of water crystals.

As for the "giveaway", it'll be interesting to see how you contact the "winners". I believe the email portion of the petitions are private so what is the proposed way to contact these people?

Thanks iceflow76!
We'll contact the winners via social media (most likely facebook will be the easiest) and if the winners are fine with it, make a post with the winners of each giveaway.
that website gives info not viewable to the public.

Eh, with all this kaos happening I will just use the crystal I get in the starter pack and buy one additional crystal. I wasn't planning on erasing my character, instead I will just pick Smasher class and go from there.

No offense, but this is one of the most ridiculous ideas I have ever heard.

The game is way too far in development, and since the game is coming out, Activision is probably working on selling the game to retailers.

Also, scratch the giveaway part. Some people will sign just for that.

Petition: Make SkyLanders Imaginite Creation Crystals FULLY Resettable, Let us Reset Battle Classes!
https://www.change.org/p/activ...medium=copylink

Hey portal__master apparently the crystals are fully resettable check it out !
//forum.darkspyro.net/spyro/vi...c=131928&page=8

I wish that was the case man, but I don't take that gamer's zonky translation over the Activision's CEO's clear wording that the battle classes are a final decision and non resettable.

I hope they do eventually make them resettable, but this gamer didnt indicate that he asked any Acti reps about it, seems like he's just assuming.

For now, until clearly noted via video or promoted by Acti themselves, it seems like we fight the battle of reset the battle classes.

Yeah I'm also awaiting complete confirmation of it. I know people have already checked for translation errors, but I dunno, I'll feel more at ease when there's some footage of it. My purchases of Creation Crystals can wait

I signed it.

Soind

There's no translation error , I know what I say I speak french ! But if you're talking about a confirmation you're right we need a footage or something...

Thank you to the hardcore fans that signed the petition and hopefully we all will make a difference and Activision will enable us to reset the battle classes!!!

The First Petition Drawing will occur sometime this week for the first winner!!! Sometime when I'm not actually at work lol

Winner name will be announced here and all the other places this petition is posted.

Congrats to Kevin G*********** from Missouri, USA for being the random winner picked by the Random Name Picker for the First drawing at 300 signatures. We reached out to Kevin and he selected a Gold & Copper Doom Stone figure as his prize!

Found by zookinator on DS.

Thanks to Thomas L for trying this out.

It works with giants on the 3ds too, I have just tried it. We only have a 2ds to use, and four different portals.

Go to flynn's ship and speak to wendel (or whoever does the character swap on giants if it's not Wendel), then follow the same procedure as before. We also have trap team, swap force and superchargers I will try it with also.
