We need character news for positivity!

Quote: PwnageFTW

As long as we get at least 4-5 adventure packs, I'm fine with the amount of levels we have

more of wave 5 that might not get released in some countries or will be very hard to find... do we really need more of that?. anyone remember the adventure packs in trap team where they locked away a soul gem?... and now the unlucky one that couldnt find it at the time, cant max out the character needing it. i guess there is always scalpers at ebay selling for $300 a piece.. i dont think we need adventure packs at all, they can just include then in the game from start.

Considering the collection screen, that isn't the case. Everything is Sensei related except the Gear achievements and even then doesn't seem to be restricted except maybe for Swashbucklers(because legs). Gongs, Shrines and

Elemental Areas which seem to be an Academy/MAP thing, all Senseis

gears again?... dont tell me there will be microtransactions in this game too. where is this gear achievements info?.

Thanks Bifrost, at the end of the video I saw that someone uploaded the creation of a Light Ninja. And it's our favorite shouting german Skylander Youtuber Egowhity!

Sadly no powers nor torso, but there were some interesting color palettes named after SSA chapters, which reminded me of how great that game was.

It shows two possible new attacks:
Throwing shurikens (I think it throws two at once, could be an upgrade)
Rainbow projectile (I think it seeks out enemies)

Not gears, Gear, acessories. There's an achievement topic on this section, easy to find.

Yeah, Knight Mare & Knight Light. Though they can buy it in Superchargers.

The ninjas seem really fast too, which I guess makes up for their lack of ability to have shoulder guards , Resulting in less stat increases available.

Is somebody even going to use these ''musical themes'' in the character creator? i'd rather hear the normal level music.

I wanna hear more until I decide if I'm gonna give one of my Imaginators a fitting theme.

buy another game to be able to full upgrade them, i dont think that is a good solution for it. that upgrade should never have been locked away in the first place. sometimes i just wonder who is coming up with bad ideas like this.

I'm sure you're not buying a game just for characters to be fully upgraded.

Me too. I'd also rather hear the normal level music.

I hope someone (maybe myskylander?) have asked TfB about the length of the story, beside side stuff.

Note that Ninjas can equip Shoulder Guards. They aren't visible, but you still get the stat boost. It'll be the same with Leg Guards for Swashbucklers.

i might make dreamcatcher as a ninja so i can make her have a big head also using starry parts (thanks for the idea whoever that was!)
what should the throwing stars be though?

Ooo cool. I think? . it seems like lazy stat balancing lol.
But I guess it means you can just equip the best sholder guards to ninjas and best leg guards to swashbucklers to get the best stat boost without having to worry about what they look like.

So I guess that's at least 1 benefit to the " weird body" classes lol

is there any news today?

I think maybe having something "cute" like the cookie throwing stars could work. If they have throwable ribbons, they would probably work best.

If there was, pretty sure it would have been posted here already. We're not gonna get something new every day.

It just hit me that we're about to hit another news drought; Gamescom is over...

It's been over for some time. No info about MAP either, sigh. If they don't start balancing this out in their favor again, the roster can only be so much of a positive.

But you bet Acti will blame this on the devs or not being greedy enough when the issue is so much on marketing.

Now that Gamescon is over and we have the Overview Trailer, the update will probably happen soon. IIRC it usually happens soon after the Overview Trailer is released.

Gear just means the Imaginator pieces that gives your creations stat boosts

Can I just appreciate Swap Force's website update, where you could mix and match all the Swappers? Thinking about that, is like, pure nostalgia.

i'd love in the next skylanders game after imaginators it was about time travel and the main skylanders can alter time or maybe even each of them have a different extra power but the leader can freeze or rewind time

kind of like that but not exactly like kaos has discovered time travel and you have to travel to different times in skylands and skylanders can freeze time, rewind time and alot other powers

IDK about a game based around time and space, but I really hope they add Time and Space as Elements (like they did with Light and Dark), and maybe have Story Packs to go with the Elements like Light and Dark did. Star Strike and Deja Vu could be reposed and get Elementally reassigned (like Hood Sickle and Tae Kwon Crow in SI).

Maybe in Sky8. They could add extra (smaller) Elements every four games. But I'm probably just being hopeful.

That beginning was so cringy because he wouldn't put the Crystal on the portal...

Anyway, Ninja's aren't as bad as I thought. Weird how there's shoulder guards, but they just don't show up. It's nice that they are super fast, and have a really cool jump.

I guess their ok, but not my favorite class for Imaginators.

Oh, Deja Vu, Tower of Time and Time Town not good enough for you?

I literally loved that so much. I went to that version of the website at least daily and just messed around with it. I wish there was a way to access that again now. Or ya know, at least find all of the videos but they're all private (with the exception of the unswapped swappers and Free Blade. I find it funny how that video plays instead of Freeze Blade.


Anyway, is someone going to try placing screenshots in levels? I've done the ones on the website but I don't know where to look for the others.

You just about gave TFB an idea for a seventh game if they did. Still that would be an awesome idea. Imagine Skylanders Time Jumpers where Kaos has found a way to travel back in time and has teamed up with past enemies like the Conquertron, his mother and even the Darkness in a final attempt to change the future and rule Skylands. Only the new Skylanders known as the Historical Oracles can stop Kaos. The Historical Oracles are Skylanders from different time periods with the ability to jump through time and space. Now wouldn't that be an awesome idea and time travel would be an epic way to reintroduce the older gimmicks of the past and have the ultimate true team up.

Most of the press screenshots are in Mushroom River, Sky Fotress or Wumpa Islands, wouldn't worry. The rest either are too obvious or too hard to tell.

Well, it's at least some consolation that the special classes can put on gear all the same even if it can't show up, but it hardly helps matters.

Does Skylanders get anything at PAX? Because that kinda looks like the next gaming event thing.

Last time we got Racing gameplay, and literally two people covering it(GameXplain and some lady).

Tower of Time was nice, while Time Town could've also been called Tic-Toc Town.

Well, the time travel gimmick in Time Town would be actually a thing later in Clock Rock.

More In-Depth Look at the Pop Up Shop including a "better" look at the poster and a quick glimpse of Air Strike in-game.

Tower of Time>Time Town.


Although I love both and I think Time Town has a better design environment wise, ToT is better to me and has a great gimmick.


Also, I love the boxes this time around! They looks like they're made to sit on a self if one wanted to keep them in box.

Yuuup, no way to see the poster clearly no matter how close the camera got. Thanks for it anyway, Wes.

Ah, at least he zoomed in a bit, and I can actually get a bit of Wild Storm.

Where's Air Strike in-game?

When he shows the back of The adventure pack

Oh I see now, well that's an attack I predicted happening. Really excited for him.

tiny poster image here.

i can make out names of who we've seen before.

The Magic Bowslinger's name is very long, and the Tech one is very shot.

Now I'm not sure if that's Wild Storm or not because it looks much shorter, unle-
Oh it says the Battle Class under it.

Just watched this video, am I blind or isn't there a dark elements cc? I wonder because I just pre ordered the crash edition. Can it be a dark edition exclusive???

This is all I could distinguish. Weird that Pit Boss goes over Wolfgang, they didn't even bother making the line a little bigger.

Quote: henryszuch

Here's an idea: maybe the achievements only show levels that Doomlanders are fought in? It would make sense, and the structure could be like TT, where you would basically hunt after each one with a level or two in between.

I'm pretty sure this doesn't need to be spoilered...

They wouldn't do that

Yeah I noticed that about Pit Boss. His staff is really big.

Zekrom, they would. They did that with SSA.
