This is amazing. After Activision has thrown such a temper tantrum over people "revealing" their secret characters...

13. Why do I always end up in strange places when playing with Hoot Loop or Blackout?
Hoot Loop and Blackout can often bypass collisions (map holes) with their teleportation ability. Use it less often, and you should be okay.

Blackout, eh? Who's that, Activision?

This is seriously pathetic. What's worse, reading through their help files... all these issues they know about and their solutions are things like "avoid >game play action<." I like the number of things that say "Avoid falling." as a fix for their bugs.

Seriously...

It's kinda silly to be honest. I'm really not sure why they're holding off on acknowledging these characters or revealing the new elements. The only reason I could think of is that there will be DLC associated with them.

Yeah, speaking of "Avoid <gameplay action>," today when playing the WiiU version, the rumble feature would get stuck on every time I used the "Y" button action with a Trap Master until I removed it from the portal. Not with villains, not with core... just Trap Masters. Hoping it'll fix itself when I play again but it was super annoying.

I think the person meant Hood Sickle not Blackout.

I kinda saw this a while back, but we knew Blackout (only by name) due to that one foreign site's leak.

My all-time favorite:
"2. My Skylander fell off a platform and now it keeps falling and respawning and I can’t play.
Try switching Skylanders or changing to a Villain multiple times to resolve this problem. If these steps do not help you, you’ll need to restart the level. Be mindful not to fall off platforms to avoid this issue in the future." means: "yeah, we failed to test it properly, so now the game sometimes punishes falling by game over, just accept it."

But this page is a close second:

"If you want to have skylanders then go to stores and buy them." Thank you very much, useful FAQ page.

Yeah this has been going on for a while now. Take a look through this short attached thread:

//forum.darkspyro.net/spyro/viewposts.php?topic=109294

That support link a couple posts back has some pretty funny answers if you are the cynical type. LOL But honestly, I've dealt with Activision support in the past and they have been nothing but excellent. I know. I know. Anecdotal evidence. But hey, it's all I've got.

did anyone else see the tuff luck one??

Well at least they acknowledge Dino-rangs glitch! Man, that was so annoying...

The Waterwalker upgrade is not working with Double Trouble?

The Waterwalker ability is not supported in Skylanders Trap Team.

Blackout? Unknown elements? What on earth are you talking about, UncleBob?


Also, try not to play the game too much and get stuck in a way that we should've found through play testing.

I agree, at least SSF found someway to make it work

Yeah, sometimes his boomerangs WOULD COMEPLETELY DISAPPEAR. It was pretty strange, it's like he threw them and they never came back... he could still jump and use other attacks, as long as it didn't involve using boomerangs, which, was even more strange...

Hmm.. I guess Tfb doesn't like Boomerangs! I can imagine Gusto without boomerang would be much worse!

He can't do his primary attack, but his spinny attack works oddly enough.

Generally speaking, there's a lot of money to be had in promotional things/reveals for "new characters". This same thing happens with Smash Bros (especially with 3DS since everyone probably unlocked all the characters day 1) and Pokemon (which has been a bit better in a more synced release of CoroCoro info-> US site reveals).

I guess in another sense they could fear that it'd cannibalize sales for the game. "Oh, you can't complete the game until X time? Why get it now?". They can also drive hype (and going back to money in promotions) for new characters for retailers. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if these 4 guys are in some way a retailer exclusive.

Its gone because he ate it. you need to press whatever button who used to suck it in to spit it back out.

We should ask some question like, I have blackout but I can't get access to the ''?'' door. Or other stuff like that so maybe they'll reveal stuff like they did with the question 13.

I mean after he spits.

You must pay an additional 15.99 for and 's soul gems too!!!

I do find this funny but did anyone realize... I think they are answering things so when we get the skylanders we know what to do. What am i talking about? I think activision wrote those questions to help fans when they get them but really? YOU MAKE ONE ABOUT BLACKOUT?? To think you were so mad about us revealing it

And did anyone notice the High Five one? http://prntscr.com/4yhiei

Dang Activision and TFB are Horrible at keeping secrets
