It's alright don't let anyone put you down like that. I mean after all they did say multiple adventure packs and brand new characters and two adventure packs is not multiple

Two is multiple if you want people to think it is. Even if gramatically innacurate, though idk.

It's not grammatically inaccurate. Multiple literally means more than one. Two, last time I checked, is more than one.

I think that they mentioned something about October...only time could tell

There is no more information by the moment right now. New mobile game in 2018 and more content for Imaginator instead of a new game this year. If that new content are waves 4 and 5 or if there would be more content in the future is something that it isn't known by now. So, the ONLY thing we know for sure are Waves 4 and 5. Anything apart from it is just a fantasy. Simple.

Any forum member can believe in what they want, but facts are the one they are. If you accept reality or not is your problem. It's no a matter of hating anybody for anything.

You may be confusing "multiple" (more than one) with "multitude" (a large amount).

The problem is the initial statement was very vague. This is standard for Activision. I honestly think that their inability to disclose information to the consumer is the single biggest mistake that Skylanders has made. They want things to be a surprise, even though things rarely are. The fact that Skylanders is a video game and they have never had hard release dates, outside of the initial wave, is somewhat ridiculous. It is almost like they are constantly trying to hedge their bets. Obviously they have been successful with the amount of money they have made, but I believe they would have been much more successful by sharing information.

With regards to the new content/characters, I still believe they are only referring to the two new adventure packs (with possibly a third with Heartbreaker Buckshot to announce the end of Skylanders) and the 5 characters that have yet to be released (Wild Storm, Grave Clobber, Blaster Tron, Tidepool, and Ro-bow). Actually, I don't think Activision's marketing team is creative enough to pull off the whole Heartbreaker Buckshot thing.

^Oh, thanks for the clarification. In portuguese I don't recall the exact rule but it's usually corrected if you use multiple/various for two.

I'm leaning on believing in the likelihood of more than the two known adventure packs to make up for the absence of a new game in 2017. Time will tell.

Ok. But one thing is what you want to believe because you want, and the other are the facts that we actually have. Don't merge both things, that's all.

Wow didn't think this multiple thing would turn into a convo. But in other news the easter varients and grave clobber have been spotted at TRU!

Both Easters? Where is this pic of HB Flare Wolf?

Just posting these artworks, in case some of you didn't see it...

Oh man, EB Flare Wolf isn't as good as I was hoping for. Glad I got the regular one.

wake me up when grave clobber's on the site, thanks

Birdie looks like candy

ATTENTION! Grave Clobber s now officially released at Toys R Us! Same with the pain yatta single pack!

And yet no sign of CTT... Darn. That releases March 10th I believe?

It's funny that CTT releases the same day I'm going to go see the new Kong movie

Funny. I'm doing the exact same thing.

Just passing along, today I got a good look at the Imaginators Switch packaging, and it has an icon that seems to indicate it will support single JoyCon multiplayer.

I don't see why it wouldn't, seeing as Skylanders uses like 8 buttons total. That's pretty cool though, local multiplayer has always been a problem for me.


Now that I think about it...

On a Joy Con you've got either A,X,B,Y or the arrows, an analog stick, SL, SR, and either the plus and minus button.
I think Imaginators uses the 4 buttons, the analog stick, the right button, start, and select. I don't see how the Joy Con buttons would allow for multiplayer. Unless maybe SR and SL are used in place of start and select? Then plus or minus could be the right trigger?

They could use SL or SR as a modifier. Holding it to change the behavior of the other buttons.

For instance: SR to use Sky-Chi/Soul Gem, SL+SR to interact. Plus/Minus to open the pause menu, SL+Plus/Minus to open the creator/power menu.

Also, you might have access to R/ZR or L/ZL (on the side of the Joy-Con). I have no idea if they become dead buttons in split multiplayer or not.

Cool i am blue sparx now.

Grave Clobber on TRU's site now

Since there is no Skylanders game this year, I can actually buy more skylanders

if you find them in the shops, i heard gamestop is not taking in anymore used skylanders figurines.

I'm not going to get the new senseis this year (if there are), i'm buying the Cursed Tiki Temple and Lost Imaginite Mines and some other peeps and that's it. I'm going for Lightseekers this year and just consider it as a Skylanders 6.5, I'm not wasting all my money on them. Screw new senseis, i'm going Lightseekers.

Unless you're going to get all the weapons/flightpacks though, not much to spend on Lightseekers. Kora and Jax apparently are the only figures this year/this semester.

I'm waiting on the APs since I have a friend to trade Wild Storm with and get both levels, so Ro-Bow's gotta come out first. Other than that, I think I'll stop at Grave Clobber and some crystals.

well i still wonder if there will be more charcters but only time will tell.

hmmmm

there might Might MIGHT be more Adventure / Level Packs coming...theres just too many "Find In Level Pack" SI Parts to just be distributed among the 2 known APs.

With the recent update, there are now 200 SI Parts that are locked in a “Find In Level Pack” status.
Of these 200, there are only 2 that detail which Level to find them, the rest are vague.
IF these parts are found in Chests (like almost all other SI parts) there may certainly be more Adventure Packs along the way. For an example of the spread, there are only 3 Chests in Grypon Park Observatory and only 3 Chests in Enchanted Elven Forest.

break it down

Below are the stats for the SI “Find In Level Pack” parts:

BODY
Arms 12
Ears 14
Head 27
Legs 17
Tail 02
Torso 25

GEAR
Arm Guards 08
Backpack 08
Headgear 17
Leg Guards 02
Shoulder Guards 15

PERSONALITY
Music 01 (Lost Imaginite Mines)
Voice 01 (Cursed Tiki Temple)

WEAPON
Bazooker 05
Bowslinger 05
Brawler 05
Knight 05
Ninja 05
Quickshot 05
Sentinel 05
Smasher 06
Sorcerer 05
Swashbuckler 05

I don't think those levels will be short and lacking in chests if they're the emergency glass for the franchise, I'd expect an inbetween of them and TWI. The only ones that are guaranteed to be in the level are the Spooky and 8-bit mods, and that could mean that the other ones are randomized and you have to play the levels over and over for them.

edit: also, slight tangent news, but Skylanders QA at its section, but one thing that applies to everything is that we have confirmation that, sigh, Kaossandra isn't Kaos' mom's name in the main games. Elsewhere, she plain doesn't have one.

Is it possible the majority of new parts are unlocked by placing Wild Storm or RO-BOW on the portal and can be found anywhere?

Wildstorm comes with a chest and that will unlock some of the items.

i don't know if i'm allowed to post my own youtube videos, but i made a good gameplay vid of grave clobber- upgrades, powers, ect.

Doesn't seem really original. Standard melee attacks, summoning stone pilars (signature upgrade for Earthlanders since the first game), with the addition that they "spit" water, and Thumpback's belly slide. He's like a remix of previous characters. His story and design are cool, but his gameplay looks absolutely "meh" to me, honestly.

Do we have confirmation that it's the physical chest toys included in the adventure packs that unlock the new Imaginator parts, rather than the sensei figures themselves?

I can see how it could work either way - Activision could have rewritten the chests so they unlock the parts that were included in the game update.

I really hope they don't. The game is laggy as is when you unlock too much stuff on the same chest.

No confirmation on how the parts get unlocked yet. I think some will be unlocked through playing the level and some will be added to the pool of parts when Wild Storm and Ro-bow are first used on the portal. The press release just said it was an Imaginite Mystery Chest, it didn't imply there was anything special about the chest

Do we have confirmation of what CTT pack looks like?

Nope! I assume it looks like the normal APs, but with a chest instead of the piece

I have to back them a bit on this one...

There are ALOT of moving pieces to skylanders compared to other games. Most games its "hard release date of xx/xx/xxxx" with a possible day 1 patch so they can still ship on time. Then DLC is cut up to last for a "Season Pass" duration.

skylanders though...they still do the first part, but then there is...
Figures that can NOT be patched and need to be "right" out the box (see Nightshade fiasco)...
Figures that are not just stomped and packaged...but hand painted, and made from molds - i.e. not instantaneous...
Figure counts are adjusted somewhat based on performance...it would make no sense to manufacture 250k Pain-yattas, if they sold 200k copies of the game (made up numbers)...
Shipping figures all over the globe, not just "one box" full of disc like most games, but LARGE boxes that only have like 12 figures in them...means 9inconsistent delivery times...

Like I'm not trying to say they cna't do better in the transparency department, but - as happened before - thinking something is at TRU and finding out it isn't - SUCKs. They can either kepp no street date and let pieces fall where they may (what usually happens), or they can set hard street dates that will push the date back further and require more monitoring for stores that break said street date., which will happen frequently as most stores don't think of the toys as anything more than...well toys.

Nice video, Zap! Though you missed the bottom path upgrades(they're locked but you can still read them)

I'm glad to know that GC definately kept his voice actor(Kevin Michael Richardson). That's the Gaul/Tree Rex/Terrador that I know, though I hope some of these lines have filter because I felt my throat closing up just listening to that reverb.

Yes!! That is exactly what I have been saying!!

To be fair, aren't most characters remixes with some theme used to differentiate them?

Usually not as obvious I guess. The fountain and belly flop are different enough in mechanics I guess, but the basic really is just every punch move ever. If he acted like the Sky-Chi and did rapid-fire it would be more of a refreshing sight, even if it'd be a Jawbreaker that does curves.
