Now if only they could release the pack in the States

I had an awesome dream last night where they announced a new Battle Class for four-legged Imaginators. I also remember that they released more of those Legendary traps and they also came out with golden editions of some of the Senseis, like Tri-Tip and Chopscotch.

a four lagged class

Honestly, their are TWO things they should do regarding the classes, I've already detailed it before, not going to do so again...but in short...
1) Add new classes - Pets, Martial Arts, Traps, etc
2) Add additional moves to each class and each element.

Right now Sorcerer just kind sucks...I can make it work, but it is nigh useless for control and nigh useless for damage...and the two things I think when I see a class like that is either Crowd Control or Glass Canon. This could be fixed by adding in several new moves that focus on those options. and I HATE to do this to myself, but they could even market it as "Elite" Crystals...unlocking elite moves for specific elements (or upgrades), and once used, it unlocks elite moves for the selected class (so if I get an elite dark, and make t a dark sorc, then my sorc classes now have the new elite moves unlocked, and that dark figure has the new dark attacks as an option.

Boom they now can make money off it. The new molds would look similar with either an elite casing, a special paint job, or a larger piece of imaginite inside.

I'd also pay for for a "Brain" sensei, who isn't playable, but unlocks numerous new mission options.

Take notice Activision, not asking for free stuff, and I WANT to play your game more and am willing to pay to do so.

New moves definately Primaries. The Secret Techniques cover most fronts as support moves, but the weakest gameplay is definately on the main arsenal. Only two similar moves on classes like Sorcerers don't work - we need more variety like with Swashbucklers having entirely different strategies.

On elements, not sure how needed for every class, but some are pretty lacking on theme. Nothing cosmic on Dark, very little wind(not clouds and lightning) in Air, Magic lacks something weirder and there are no lasers in Light for some Eon-forsaken reason.

the strongest classes, in my opinion, that have the best basic moves are Smasher, Sentinel, Quickshooter and Bazooker.
Sorcerer is my least favorite
Favorite elements: undead, earth, dark, fire and air
they definitely need to improve the Imaginators' powers by giving us more variety. I usually get everything but end up, most of the time, giving my Imaginators the same abilities

For my playtime, the 'strongest' class is the second or third spammiest - bazooka...it picks up where quickshot and ninja fall off - and that is FAST AoE attacks. Couple it with like the turrets from tech crystals...and yeah you can beat Kaos without changing characters. My highest stat class are smashers followed by Ninja...but while ninja does insane single target dmg, it does so mashing one button...over...and over...and falls into the trap of "pressing anything else actually lowers my overall DPS"...and thus other strats like tossing out the bombs that explode when hit and using the PBAoE attack instead...just turn out to be "only for themeatic purposes" movesets. Smashers are pretty much where they should be...there are various ways to play the class and it works with pretty much all elements effectively. Knight needs "flash" though...it works, but after you have one knight, the only reason to make another is "I have an idea!" moments.

My thing is an expansion of functional moves for functional playstyles - more so than making stronger...going back to the sorc...which I'm 'glad' to hear I'm not alone on...there should be a way to emphasize crowd control/safety, and a way to do CRAZY damage, but possibly at the expense of defensive stats. Right now, its walk around holding your staff out with a perma-lazer like Doublt trouble...in which case I could just play Double Trouble, or I can run around tossing those weak orbs around for range dmg *and they suck at that*, or I can run into melee to launch people in the air to do melee dmg...but ultimately I feel like I have to rely on my element to make the sorc worth ANYTHING...so like a fire Sorc would be strong, but my current dark sorc is pretty much leveled up trash as dark isn't good at doing dmg...I can black hole to suck guys in, weaker than the smasher suck in move of course, then I can do the little crowd control sorc has *launch or stick to this SUPER SLOW to throw ball*. I'm not going to pretend to know what moves exactly to do to make sorc right without just stealing from other games (let me make it rain my 'element' in a certain spot with the element having different effects/damages!), but something should be done.

Swashbucklers need reinforcing...like I love that they can play a couple ways, but they just don't seem good at either melee or range. And they are snakes...always snakes...or half snakes...or worms...or living tails with limbs...or one-legged...yeah. haha

Ah my birthday!

I also have that day off as part of spring break! yay!

I don't know about Bazookers being the strongest. Sure, their attacks are strong in succession, but the fact that they have to stop and remain stationary to use their primaries I feel kinda holds them back. This has killed my Bazookers more often than not. I do agree though that Sorcerer is probably the weakest of the classes.

in other news-

Nice, April 7th! Guess I'll just get Grave Clobber then...

Woo, hype!

Man, that's really good. And that's the day before my break, too, so it'll give me something to look forward to.

Get off tomarrow, so yeah Friday

I'm glad I got mine imported because stores around me are going to be insane for Easter shopping

I saw CTT in a store here in Sweden yesterday. Forgot to take a photo

I'm hoping they'll add more in the voices (middle part) besides the Spooky mod (bottom), as well as more catchphrases.
I'm curious what is going to happen for Skylanders: Imaginators after wave 5 figures and crystals are released. I know Activision said there will be no new game this year. so I'm wondering what's up with the rest of 2017 if they are expanding this one

New Voices or Catchphrases are unlikely, since they'd have to bring in all the voice actors again just for a few new lines, or hire entirely new VA's. That's probably why we only got the Spooky Effect part, since that's just a voice modifier.

good taste

I went back to the superchargers thread and found out it that the verything we need to know about SS was 107 pages long

Everything we need to know about SI is 1 page

That's because General was created later. After people couldn't stick to skylanders for more than 24 hours; Buuzer and TTD have an easier time keeping it clean.

On topic, I did a trip down memory lane and remembered the dance animations in Skylanders: Universe. Looking at the rail animations since some aren't really just reusing older rigs, I wonder if they could reimplement those in future games for every skylander? Dunno, have a minigame or selfie/select menu option for it. SSA and SG already have them since Universe used 3D models, so it's a good chunk done.

The next skylanders game has to have dance animations

I really miss those Stat Screen Animations from SA and Giants. There was a lot of character and personality there. Shame that those are never coming back.

Doesn't imaginators have dance animations?

Yes they do have dance animations

So...how are things with the custom printed Imaginators? I want to get one at some point but I also want to wait until I have all the Sensei figures I'm after before I start playing the game in full and putting together Imaginators. I'm just worried that by the time I get to that point, they'll have discontinued the custom Imaginators. Does there seem to be any indication that they might stop with the custom Imaginators soon?

Don't know yet. They did suspend the sales of custom figures until they can solve the problem of so many getting damaged in shipping.

I thought this was interesting
(NOTE: Despite the title, I don't believe these to be Skylanders 7 figures, I think they are beta figures)

Wow, these people are really stretching.

"A BLURRY MESS OF PIXELS!? MUST BE SKY 7 LEAKS"

Probably just another prototype figure

Skylanders fanbase pls.

If I remember correctly, those pictures were already brought up a couple months ago.
Not sure if we got to know if they were fake or not, but I'm pretty sure someone's video about them was taken down (though probably not because of the images themselves).

Lol that's old news (not really news in general) either way that was from a month ago or so no need to give it attention

90% prototype, 10% new figures.

0% new, 50% fake, 50% nothing we should give them attention for. It's not from a month ago, it's waaaay longer and some stuff from Instagram that could be literally anything with a blur filter.

For those of you unfamiliar with what this was, I feel like I should explain where they came from. A friend of mine claims (key word there) that he received a notification for a new Skylanders video. He clicked on it and found some interesting things in the background. He used the triple tap function to zoom in and took a screenshot. This is what he got. While I and many others thought those images were real at one point, I have realized that I can't really trust anyone in this community, so I honestly have no clue if it is real of not. As much as I'd like to believe him, he's lied to me many times, and no one else got notifications about this new video they supposedly put up. (Did I mention that the video was "removed" almost instantly?)

Basically the whole story behind those images in coated in drama, and attention whorism, so I have no clue if they are real or not. If they are real though, I'm 100% sure they are prototypes or 3d prints.

It could be true, but this is far too blurry for any of us to really need to care. It's one thing to show a tiny fraction of a figure clearly, or clear enough that you know it's a toy(but let's not repeat the Dark Food Fight drama), but that is just a mess of color that you can't see anything in.

Yes, more than the posters, before anyone sees Series 2 Fright Rider in there and guesses correctly in a year.

So basically...

"GUYS LOOK AT THIS, SKYLANDERS 7 CONFIRMED FOR 2018 RELEASE, NEW FIGURES LEAKED BELOW!!!!!!1!! LOOK AT THE GREEN SPLOTCH, THAT MEANS S3 SHROOMBOOM IS CONFIRMED TOO!!!"
