Hey dears,

I'm Ben and im part of this game for actually 2 1/2 years now.
I've noticed that many Players i've played with left this game, because there are more attractive games nowadays. What could Spiral Knights do, to get as fun as back in the old days? As we all know, we just get some Updates, noone really knows what for. But WHAT we know is:

-The most wanted Gunner Update wasn't released on the mentioned date.
-(wasn't there a new Boss annouced?)

Well, as Guildmaster i can feel the inactivity.

If the Developers want to save this game in some way, they should start work harder & visit more often the Suggestion-Threads, there are tons of great ideas, for payers as none payers.

To be honest:

SK should do something or they'll end as their "partnergame" Bang!Howdy (Developer: OOO) -> Population: 0

Greetz,

Ben, GM of GG, SG, BG

respect is earned not given.

1. OOO is not dying.
2. Spiral Knights is not dying.
3. After 2 and a half years I think it's time to take a break.
4. OOO can take as long as they want with updates as long as we get them and they are good.
5. Spiral Knights is still as fun as it used to be.

Pffft.

I couldn't take this post seriously to begin with.

And then Valorai gives me the idea of reading it in Morgan Freeman's voice.

gods ain't gonna help you, son.

Well, as Guildmaster i can feel the inactivity.

of your guild and friends, not of the whole SK. SK isn't dying at all.

The most wanted Gunner Update wasn't released on the mentioned date

there wasn't a mentioned date. they were aiming for november, then january, but that doesn't mean "we will surely update the 21 nov/23 jan", it means "we will do our best (without going crazy) to meet those ends". they couldn't. to me, the best developing decision ever is to set the estimated time for an update "in this/next year".

You're like Netflix. You don't know me.

Game is dying? Nah

I still see apprentices begging for money like they would 2 years ago. The only difference between then and now is that they don't have a reason to beg anymore.

Not clear enough

Sorry guys, that i haven't been clear enough:

I actually had a break of 3 months few weeks ago.

My Point is actually that SK announced some Updates, but they didn't come out. Sounds familiar to me tho.

I just opened this Thread, cause this happened already once, *quotes myselfz*

If you don't mind, visit this one:

They announced new updates, which never got out, game died, feat. OOO. Deja Vue.

So if you still wanna wait for the Gunner Update, gl hf tho, just didn't want to leave some not-answered questions :)

Fehzor

I believe you missed the memo about where OOO explained exactly how they are in the middle of fixing all of the things with Spiral Knights so that it can become a better experience for everyone. No, you quoted the new boss from it, you just missed the bit about arcade reduxes and whatnot.

By the way- have you noticed that the mineral achievements aren't attainable? Yea. Arcade redux part II, right there.

After reading your link, Ben..

...did Bang Howdy end up receiving any of the changes talked about in the Feb 5th, 2009 post?

From what I read there, it just sounded like they were thinking about making an expansion but didn't get to it for some reason (lack of players/money?). I'm betting SK has a much larger playerbase and won't suffer the same fate. Heck, Puzzle Pirates gets updates and they've got a much smaller population (at least according to Steam Charts).

I have been playing less and less of this game. Heck, I haven't even been reading the forums as much as I used to recently, but I'll still be here, waiting for the big update. Most of my focus has now been shifted to Pokemon X, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days(late the party, I know) and revisiting Castle Crashers(can't seem to get away from knights lol). Point is, we don't have to be playing this game daily, or reading the forums to show that you like this game. As long as you still like this game, and are willing to play it anytime, that good enough for me.

my 2 cents

I always wondered this as Loadout gets out of Early Access and into Launch while SK is old...

As a F2P game... Is it better to have loyal vets or to have an overwhelming influx of newplayer that never stick to the game?

I personally believe that having loyal vets is better than having a continuous flux of newplayer... But that's just my opinion cause I think vets love the game enough to stick to it for a long time while newcomer come and go sooo much that I wouldn't want to catter to them but to the loyal core fanbase...

Because OOO is slacking vets to have a wider audience... A lot of people who liked the old SK left and now the "new-age" of SK began a while back and I wonder if SK is as popular as before and if OOO makes more profit with this "new SK"....
