Request: Making additional parts free (cost no DNA)

Xyquas · 30-09-2008, 10:37 PM

That's the point:

In the Spore game, unlike the Spore Creature Editor, a second body part does not change the creatures stats anymore. Example: I add a pair of feet with speed 4 and the creature's speed is 4. When I add a second pair of the same type of feet, the creature's speed is still 4. When the first pair of feet costs 150 DNA the second pair will cost another 150 DNA, making 300 DNA altogether, although the second part is just for the visuals.
My request is to make the second pair of feet in the example free of charge, so you can add as many of them as the complexity limit allows for the price of just one (which wouldn't affect gameplay as the stats are just counted once already).

Anyway, I voted for the "Creature Creator-esque additive part-stats", although it'll need the DNA costs to rise dependant on the amount of parts, as well. Putting on 5 10-DNA items rather than 1 125-DNA item isn't going to work after all.

Right. It's not a petition. It's a user request. What's the difference?
A petition is made by someone weak who wants someone much stronger to have the mercy of doing something. A petition is like begging. I won't beg a service provider to do his job!
A request on the other hand is the term for something, a group of users wants to be implemented in a software for the software fullfilling their needs properly. I am a user of the software Spore - as you are, too

And I definitely want the developers of the software to add some features

No offense.

Sigh. You don't seem to get what I meant with "Plalalala's not a petition".. I posted that 'cause someone replied with "/signed", which is normal for petitions. I don't know about you, but I don't sign requests.

Edit: And don't claim I am a user of the software Spore, as I was, but I'm not until I can find a way to prevent utter boredom.

Well, I don't do that either. But I'm absolutely sure it was meant as "I support that request."

Okay, I should have inserted a "probably"

I want 6 legs for the price of 2!! lol
And actually, that's a very good idea!

n0valife · 20-10-2008, 10:05 PM

I think they should have the additive parts but it should cost for the level of paticuler skills not for the parts that way parts could be added without unbalancing the game play.

That's the idea of option 1

Leafsnail · 26-10-2008, 01:28 PM

It sounds like a good idea, but there are some things you should bear in mind:
Legs and arms should still cost no matter how many you add, as they are required to put on multiple feet for multiple benefits. Also, this means that your creature would look incredibly amazing from the start, which kinda voids the point of having more.

joegonecrazy · 20-11-2008, 05:32 PM

ok before i start i agreed to this because id love more free parts but... i dont think they wil for a long... time they want to make money so they sell then we buy... well maybe not me buying but you get the point...

Merpinx · 22-11-2008, 12:34 AM

Good Idea it`s annoying when I`m trying to make a awesome creature same feet but I run out of DNA then it takes ages to get back

Extra parts should be free. If I spend 150 DNA for 2 legs at speed 5, why should I need to spend another 150 DNA for 2 more legs but have my speed stay at 5? The second set of legs is purely cosmetic, if I am not recieving a stat increase, then why charge me for it? I would understand paying extra if a second set of legs would increase the stats, but it does not. It ultimately lowers the uniquity of Spore creatures because nearly all of them have the same amount of limbs/heads.

I vote for using DNA for all parts. If you want to make nice looking creatures, use the creature creator. But in the game you need to find parts and get DNA.
That's my opinion...

mariub · 03-05-2009, 12:49 PM

Ok ,

I understand
