If you really want to know, here is a link.

Ah, nice

Lol, ok. I see.

ShadowStorm- any chance you have access to one of the various third-party tools for editing data on figures? Curious to see if crystals can easily be wiped by one of them.

Not that i know..

Pyrofer's tool is in Toys and Merch, dunno if anywhere visible in the page. As long as the portal driver still works should be fine.

... Tell us more about this tool... :I

//forum.darkspyro.net/spyro/viewposts.php?topic=90643

Oh, nice, it's still on first page. It's NOT a hacking tool(those are against the rules here to even direct towards), it's just a backup tool. The other year they also found out it can wipe data off of traps entirely, so much you lose variant villains if you mess with it too much. It COULD work for crystals, in theory.

Thanks ShadowStorm! You've been awesome about sharing info!

Cam you take a picture of Pain-Yatta's figure without the glare?

Thanks for all the info. Shadow...I have one question. Does putting older Skylanders on the portal unlock specific pieces (ex: does SSA Spyro unlock Spyro's tail)? Thanks in advance.

I would love anything new in Boom Bloom or Bad Juju if you could give me their cutscenes or maybe just move descriptions??

/\ Id be surprised if it did, Paul Riche said they focusing more on the Senseis this year

Putting an older Skylanders isn't doing anything and I'll take a look about the tool

Wait... this game has no backwards compatibility for the characters? I am here late... I just have read a little of this thread, but did they really mess up that bad? Would you be able to play as any of the older characters?

I just wanna thank you so much for this

He's talking about unlocking parts.

Yes you can play as older charecters, where did you think you wouldnt be able to?

I just saw the recent comments and they mentioned nothing happened when you put older characters on. Dang that scared me... thought I wouldn't be able to use Bowser or Blackout. Also, saving that poster pic just in case Activision nukes us.

That scared me too

You can definitely play as characters from any of the previous games.

I think the game being shipped early was the best mistake ever

Thanks for your contributions. You're doing Eon's work here.

magic items....

arena...

upgrades...

thanks for confirming definitely been waiting for that to happen in the series

disappointed in TFB's handling of Nightmare difficulty AGAIN....but I have a question tying into the difficulties that I haven't seen answered yet: can you adjust the difficulty on the fly like in SF & SC? Or is this yet another thing TFB refuses to learn.....

What do you mean by on the fly? I remember you could just pause and change the difficulty in both Trap Team and Superchargers

I don't remember that being possible in TT....but both Giants & TT not only required you to beat the game just to unlock Nightmare, they also forced us to start a whole 2nd save file just to get credit for beating Nightmare. SF & SC let us change difficulty whenever we want AND you simply had to replay every level on Nightmare ( which with SC being the only one the devs were kind/intelligent enough to give us all difficulties at the start, means in that case if you didn't jump to Nightmare right off the bat ) on the same save. That's what I meant by on the fly, especially since I've heard that higher difficulties might be required for some rare customization items....

WoW, best mistake ever. I love the photos of the poster!

If the new game is following SC trends, it probably has the same system where your portal master powers and unlocked items are all tied to your console account, not a specific save file.

So it doesn't really matter if you have to start another save file or replay every level in nightmare difficulty to say " I beat nightmare mode" , you'll end up replaying the same levels anyway. especially in this imaginators game where replaying levels is already super encouraged to unlock all the Imaginator parts from chests you find in levels.

In TT you could change difficulty on the fly between easy, medium and hard. Except nightmare mode was completely seperate , once you start a save file in nightmare it can't be changed to anything else.

I actually don't mind the system coz it makes completing everything in nightmare mode really difficult in TT. Whereas in SF and SC it's easy coz you can just switch back to an easy difficulty setting to achieve " don't switch" and "don't take damage " goals etc.

In TT, getting 100% completion in a nightmare difficulty save file is actually an achievement. And that's probably what toys 4 bob was going for.

BAD JUJU AND BAD JUJUNIOR ARE SO KAWAII
BLASTER-TRON IS AWESOME
CHAIN REACTION IS AMAZING

Give me a T, Give me a H, Give me a A, Give me a N, Give me a K, Give me a Y, Give me an O, Give me an U. What does that spell?


THANK YOU!!!

Thank you for everything you've been doing. This is really fantastic. You've helped make this dead little fandom alive again.

... You call this fandom "dead?" The main info thread is approaching 20,000 posts... ô_ó

If this was any decent sized fandom, this would be at 20 pages easy. As much as I like it, we're small, no denying.

To be fair we've had severe news droughts for a while and most of the GD was consisting of argument.

I meant it respectfully, of course.

this game does look better than sc like far better so dw.

How much after-game content is there Shadow-Storm? 'm just wondering because it has tended to be an issue in past years (*cough* *cough* Trap Team *cough*Superchargers *cough*).

Does the Trap Team potal work with Imaginators?

Well so far we know there's racing, Battlebrawl, the 10 sensei elemental realms, 3 adventure packs, random ambushes, and probably a ton of secrets in the M.A.P.

They said back in the initial E3 interviews that it should, as you can use traps as boosts in the racing mode, but the portal that comes with the game does not have a trap slot.

By ambushes in the M.A.P, what do you mean? sounds awesome, kind of like The Division with the random street ambushes

Not sure if this is considered spoilers, but I'll spoiler tag the info in case.
In the M.A.P...

^awesome

I'm thinking it'll be like the random crimes in Lego Avengers

I know this has probably been asked and answered in the sea of questions, but can you send me a picture of the academy through pms?

I have a question that I don't think has been asked yet, and that is: are there checkpoints in the levels/chapters?

It's been asked but not answered, and I'm pretty curious about this too.

Aren't the levels too short for checkpoints?

Last I heard the levels are Trap Team length, so probably no need for checkpoints.

A feature I would love is if they had an option to save your game anywhere in the level, and then when you load the game you start exactly where you left off.

Yeah but there's no point in TFB Skylanders. They have very arcade-y level structures; the first time is like 40 minutes but any other ones might be 12, 9 minutes at the most. The game also saves your collectible progress even if you restart the level.
