Marz-Ashbringer has quit Spiral Knights.

Three Rings releases the Kataclysm patch!

Marz-Ashbringer returns to Spiral Knights.

Spends $$$ on the new patch (patch = new comsetics!)

Several days later, Marz-Ashbringer has quit Spiral Knights.

And this pattern continues on and on. I leave because there is nothing that I want to do in Spiral Knights; what I want to do in Spiral Knights is play the game with people, but there is no one to play the game with. I don't want to play what everyone is playing -- FSC, LD, etc. I'd play that occasionally, but not as my main thing to do in this game. I want to do Arcade with people, full parties, all the way down to the core/ not have a party leave me @ terminal.

What are you guys going to do once you have all of the stuff that you want to get from this game? Play the same content that you always play, the stuff that you did to get the stuff that you want? There is NOTHING else to do; I am tired of soloing. These patches are lame; waste of $$, and nothing changes. My SK friends who play SK do what everyone does; they don't want to play Arcade with me. I don't know what else to say? This game is really boring, and you're all as boring as the game for playing boring stuff all of the time. You make players like me suffer. FSC doesn't even feel intimidating anymore with the parties that I get nowadays. It's all about crowns crowns crowns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lammeee, l8 loosers, I'm going to play Plants vs Zombies again.

Edit:
The staff are okay people, good staff, good people, good support; I like them. Can't you make this game fun? Can't we get rid of this greed? I do want to play SK, but I just don't feel like there's anything for me. The accessory patches aren't bad, but it's just that I wish that I could play more of the content from this game with other players. I know of the party finder, and that's an awesome thing, but it's not enough for some players. I don't think I will ever understand gaming logic; the grinding that it took for some people to get their kat cowls, the way that they hustle players so that they can resell what they bought from those people, and only logging on into spiral knights to do an fsc run and then log and leave, and do this daily (i rather just quit if this is all that i would do in a game). Idk, maybe bc i'm not much of a gamer that I am different from this community? I don't really want to be an a-hole to you guys, but it just makes me mad how obsessed you all are with game money and grinding.

Isn't gaming suppose to be about having fun? y so seerus

Well, duh, they cant make new content every day, these cycles are expected.
It's not just a trick to steal your money (you're only 75% right), it's game development.

Are you gonna rant the next time you rejoin and quit? .-.
I don't think OOO ever intended you to quit, no matter.
Are you calling me boaring? I am deeply hurt by your words.

Well there are the forums, and the giveaways and new items I haven't tried out. That's what keeps me. Also you can meet some fun people by joining a random party for a random ranked mission though I love traveling in T1 and T2 and meeting most of the newer gamers before they become all corrupt "AS FAST AS POSSIBLY FARMING!" people. I get to talk, learn a bit about them and well, spend my time listening to the music and watching the background scenery a bit. Part of it is making sure you also have fun and make your own fun as well. I made a contest and that should revive the arcade for a month.

I am a Tier 3 player with 5

I am a Tier 3 player with 5 star gear; I use Chaos Cloak and have CTR Max. I want to try out my gear on a full party Tier 3 run, NOT FSC, NOT solo, NOT with friends/2 ppl, and not just stop @ the terminal. I am LIMITED to the options that I have in this game. I can't play in the gate of my choice for a full party. Don't tell me to find friends or a guild, I have that; they don't want to do what I want to do, they like farming FSC, not my thing, 2bad. I want to play Arcade LOTS and LOTS, not just ONCE or TWICE. I want to have FUN, FUN FUN FUN FUN. I have all of the stuff that I could ever possibly want from this game, I'm op, I'm not in search of more gear. I want to play Arcade with random people. You guys are tolerable now; you're all good players (about time, like after freaking 2 years).

All I ever hear/see on text is:

"FSC, SLS, FSC, SLS, FSC, SLS" (SLS = shadow lairs)

You guys are soo boring... god. You all need a god slap in the face to see if it can snap you out of this trance.

One of these damn cosmetic patches come out, and all of you clowns want to do is farm-grind FSC 24/7. Are you guys serious? Two mother[nurturing] years of that [wheeeeeee], and it's not enough for you? Do ya'll honestly not find anything better to do than play FSC? That's all there is to this game? LD and FSC? Cus that's all u guys do.

I'm dirt pooor on sk; im not rich if some of u r thinking that

We gobble up content faster than Three Rings can produce the content. That's just how it is. All good things must end (or at least take a hiatus).

@ IronskullkidHow you

@ Ironskullkid
How you doin'?

It's not new content that I am raging about, it content that is ignored. You guys are FSC bums.

If Three Rings made Arcade produce more benefits (crown profit is higher), I'm sure that the Arcade would be more populated. right now, if I start a party in a T3 Arcade gate, it would be really hard to get a bite from you fishes. There is no bait in the Arcade for me to reel in you silly fishes.

I don't play that many games: http://steamcommunity.com/id/hectorduribe
As you can see on my Steam, I only play like two games. I don't possess this "gaming logic" that you guys have with grinding and farming. dude, work and school are just as bad as those things, why would i do that in a game? hey, for those of you who work, how do you feel about games that you spend ur time farming stuff and playing ah? don't u find that silly? don't u get angry? You come from work, get on w/e game it is that u play, and u start farming materials and go sell them on the ah, and then u log out. u probably spent like 4 hours doing that, and then u went off to sleep, and do this routine daily. i knew a person who did that, and they finally grew a conscious and told me how silly that was, and how they now regret when they used to do that. "games r about having fun"

hmmm.....

" I want to do Arcade with people, full parties, all the way down to the core/ not have a party leave me @ terminal."

Well consider this,from lobby to the core is 30 floor? 10 energy per elevator,its wasting actually,since some/most/few player do not have elevator pass they need to get the energy spent worth unless having a ton of energy to be waste,or just plain liking the spend 300-ish energy? in one trip.

Ah i see what this topic about,

(person):hey!, hey!.. hey![holding random player to not running away] hey lets go arcade with me,its fun,fun fun fun,hey hey i'm not gonna bite you...much...arcade is fun,fun fun lets go :D :D :D : D : D : D : D :-D :-D.

For me its not about not getting crown in arcade,its because i don't have 300 energy to blow in 1 trip,i got to manage guild,playing with different equipment go prestige regain the crown or energy loss.My friend have elevator pass he easily go arcade wanna join but didn't have energy to blow 1 gate piller everyday.

edit:MOAR Dome you know the thing that we in when arrive to the floor......that... spin...and..change.... anyway thats need more ..possible unknown passage mayyyybeee....

You could just always return during a new event. Quit spending money on this game. Then quit when new event ends like I plan to do.

So that being said. When the Black Kat event ends I plan to quit playing again because it will just go back to being the same old thing. Also doing all of this while spending no money on this game.

Try joining a medium sized

Try joining a medium sized guild. not too large not too small. if it's too small, it might die, but if it's too large, it might just run fsc. then they might run clockworks with you. also, try to not rage whenever you see the words fsc, some people might just want to get through the mission for storyline/ make upkeep quickly.

I'm not an end game player,

I'm not an end game player, but I would like to see someone when I run undead stratums at t3. but I see noone. why? it's the greatest thing in the game! missions are repetitive. they are always the same. the first idea of this game were the ever-cycling clockworks, and now nobody cares about it anymore. I learnt the importance of the arcade when getting the 2* gear, and since then, I always do the arcade, exept for when I care about guild upkeep, and only because everyone is doing missions and I still don't have a shadow weapon. if I could solo, I would just go through the arcade.
summary: the idea of the arcade was (and IS) great, but OOO just wasted it.

Running arcade is not a solution for boredom.

Arcade becomes repetitive like missions after several runs. No matter you run with your friends or not. After a while, you just memorize every stratum-every depth-every room and even every scenario room, which kills your faith in SK.
All I can suggest about this is: Try other games or follow the same pattern but dont fell into the money traps(Promos are excellent examples). There will be nothing to do in SK after a while(Some might say play LD, but for your health, dont play it, LD community is worser than the CoD community nowadays.)

after a while?

before you can predict practically everything, it takes a lot. then there is pvp and hope for new content. or you can be a perfectionist and craft every 5* weapon in game. there is a lot to do, and it's more than other games just because there isn't only one path, or a specific path you must follow.

@OP joke mode!

Sir, you need to stop falling for these tricks that sucks out your precious time.

It's called "games".

Do you know many time do you wasted?

When you could go outside, make friends, and make the world a better place?

Oh wait a second, life is as pointless as death.

And only weirdos can improve the world.

I refer you to this post: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/58831 , people are making their own challenges.
If the game does not get repetitive and boring after a while, we wouldn't see posts like this.

@Fleet-Miss-Gun:

Do you know many time do you wasted?
Above it should be, "How much time you wasted," not "many time do you wasted."

When you could go outside, make friends, and make the world a better place?
Above is a sentence fragment and needs to be revised..

Oh wait a second, life is as pointless as death.
If life and death are pointless, why live?

And only weirdos can improve the world.
The above sentence is based upon uninformed assumptions by the author and completely ignores the many hours of volunteer work that the general population does. A "weirdo" is defined as "A person whose dress or behavior seems strange or eccentric," meaning they go against the norm. The norm of the general adult population volunteer an average of 4.2 hours a week per person. That is a lot of hours working on improving the world by normal people and not weirdos.

Please do not take offense, but I had to correct your sloppy grammar and silly preconceived notions that were exposed in that post.

Every game has an end. Even

Every game has an end.
Even all MMO game has an event. You will at some point have gotten all you want and wont feel inclined to play again.
That`s fine. Just switch to a different game. Happens to all of us at some point. Once you have done that you can chalk the game a success and move on.
