Friends, strangers, and my to-do list.

With my changing schedule it gets hard to find time for this game like I would like. In my infrequent playing, I believe that I have lost touch with some friends who I knew were on the verge of leaving one way or another. So the aspect of friends among those who I have befriended appears to change, or dwindle even. But playing with strangers is often fun as it adds to a different dynamic on occasion, and even a few surprises to see those same strangers again. And again. Without the notion of befriending them yet always getting along. Lastly, that to-do list is possible but just time consuming. So in some respects, I am grateful that I have never really been in a rush to gain anything too great here.

I think we all know what are broken in SK without me ranting too much, as long as OOO can take their sweet time fixing them, I would be happy.

Those questions seem good for a survey, I would answer them.

How did you first start playing Spiral Knights?

I started Spiral Knights back in September 2011, on an old 11" screen laptop with an integrated graphics card. The game ran at 5-15 FPS, and froze for 30 seconds at a time. But I fell in love with it. When I upgraded to a better computer, I loved the game even more.

What has, in the past, captured your interest in Spiral Knights?

The four-player dungeon crawler aspect of the game reminded me heavily of The Legend of Zelda, Four Swords. A game I loved playing a lot when I was much younger. The Zelda series played a huge role in my gaming time, and Spiral Knights proved to be faithful enough to the genre to keep my attention. The art style, the quirky music, the cool weaponry, were all enough to keep me motivated to keep playing.

What currently keeps you interested in Spiral Knights?

The community. Although there are the occasional toxic players, beggars, scam artists, etc, I do quite love how expansive the community is (the forums is such a small portion lol). Every day I run into new people. I try new playstyles often, collect various valuables. The market is more of a side-hobby, but I do like seeing those big numbers pop up in my arsenal and mail. Lockdown is also another aspect that I like when it comes to the replayability of Spiral Knights. Sneaking around in Spiral Spy also... Well. I can't mention anything I found. But I am looking forward to it. New costumes to collect are also nice!

In the future of Spiral Knights, what do you hope to see modified within the game?

I would like to see some minor tweaks to the game, far too many to list. Make defensive sets have more health bonus to compensate for offensive sets being just as tanky. Make Troika's attack speed equal or greater than Sealed Sword lines to compensate for Sealed Sword lines' higher damage. Give Spurs the charge time of Catalyzers. Reduce Pulsars to a two-shot clip to tone down the spam. Fix the inconsistencies with weapons that do knockback. So many little changes.
