Helloooo world! How are the people of the internets today?

The Arsenal Podcast is having a discussion soon about our "pet peeves" in Spiral Knights, and we were wondering if you had any yourself!

By pet peeves, we mean those things that annoy you that might or might not annoy everyone. They are your unique irritations.
For example, something that bugs me personally are destructible blocks that completely block my path. They don't make me rage, but they are a mild annoyance for a bomber like me who has to then charge and wait for the detonation of a bomb to continue.

What are your pet peeves in Spiral Knights? Community… game mechanics… PvP? Be specific!

Disclaimers!
- NO, this will not become a discussion about our utter hatred against SK. The game is good and has a lot of potential, but we know there are some tickles that bother people, and that's what we're curious to find out. At the same time, we still respect this game and its developers completely. Any direct stabs or threats at the game or its developers will be ignored (and potentially reported).
- NO, this thread is not Compound 42! Let's keep the flaming and toxicity to a minimum please! ;)
- NO, we will not answer your pet peeves on this thread--we'll do so on the podcast.
- YES, we will read every post made on this thread.
- YES, we will credit you if we discuss your idea.
- YES, by posting on this thread, you acknowledge that your idea may be discussed, agreed upon, or disagreed upon on the Arsenal Podcast.
- YES, we will publicly shame you on the podcast if you go overboard with this. Please be mature and keep any possible arguing to a minimum (I know, sounds impossible right?).

What do you got?

Sir-Greenlink

Well there are a couple of things

Well there are a couple of things that I find mildly annoying. I guess it can't be helped:

Whenever someone in Lockdown complains about people not capping. More often than not, I find that these people are the ones that end up with a low amount of captures or any noteworthy contribution to the team. I suppose this one annoys me because my main goal in Lockdown is to capture and keep points defended.

Scuttlebots. As someone who mainly uses swords, these things are a pain to hit. Maybe I should find a different technique for them? Maybe... It's slightly annoying (and possibly humiliating) to get killed by one of them. Other people probably find this enemy really easy to kill but for some reason I dislike this guy way more than any Fiend.

*Sir-Greenlink is still calm* Deep breaths, everyone. Deep breaths.

Raptor Jesus is my lord.

Is my obsession of destroying explosive boxes applicable? I can't go on without blowing up every one of those even if I want to, and most of my teammates already experienced the pain of this process (eg. They get damaged by a box). Oh yeah, I find accidental team killing and shield bumping enemies away annoying :P

People who try to teach others bull!@#$ that they're 100% sure is true.
"Gran Faust is faster than Divine Avenger", "UVs work this and that way", etc.

It's extra bad when you can't correct them and you just have to settle for watching them corrupt the minds of the innocent.

Fri, 02/21/2014 - 11:28

Fangel

Oh dear I have so many

Probably when I'm trying to hit an enemy and a teammate knocks them juuust out of my reach. Especially annoying when I have an alchemizer charge shot lined up.
On the same boat, I hate it when I accidentally do the same.

Another one is when someone is begging and I check their achievement progress and they have alchemized at least a 4-star item, especially when they appear to be actually new by wearing their proto armor.

Last one I'll mention is teammates' timing. So often I'm in my own rhythm when a teammate runs over and gets killed by an enemy I shield bumped.

Speed Runs

I get annoyed when I'm in a party with people who "super speed run" through the level leaving monsters unkilled/rooms unentered. I'm a completionist at heart, and I want to explore the clockworks... because that's the point, right?

I'm sure I annoy people too. When my health isn't maxed I always stop to cut all the grass in case I get heart drops.

Vesperaldus

1. Dark Retribution's orbs

1. Dark Retribution's orbs not being able to hit mini jellies.
2. The tremendous amount of grinding people do instead of playing for fun.
3. Not being able to move Guild Hall Alchemy Machines as if they were furniture themselves.
4. Silkwings not being a pet and a monster instead.
5. People who think my name came from Bleach.... /rolls eyes.
6. Similar to what Bitsbee pointed out, but more specific: Armours that have a Wolver Tail and Wings.
7. 5* players who think you need to devise a plan before hitting the party button on the Royal Jelly Boss.
8. People who think the game owes them something.
9. Like you pointed out yourself, Latisan... Destructible blocks in your way when bombing. What a time waster (although when there's monsters that spawn, it could be to an advantage).
10. Respectable people/players doing irresponsible things.

Fri, 02/21/2014 - 12:11

Sweetsundere

In short words, multiplayer.

1. Polaris being really overused in clockworks and Lockdown, on clockworks when people uses it the wrong way and knocks the mobs to me making me die, in Lockdown when 3+ people caps a point while spamming it to all sides.

2. Playing with bad teammates screwing things up.. killing me with knockback weapons, or dying and expecting me to carry them through the level.

It would take me a while to mention all of the pet peeves, so i'll only tell those. (Yeah i'm such a Lone Wolf that plays solo all the time, i know. :3)

"I get annoyed when I'm in a party with people who "super speed run" through the level leaving monsters unkilled/rooms unentered"

I agree with you on that! This game is not really meant for speed running...unless you are showing off or don't really have that much time to go online :)

My pet peeves:

The one that rika posted
Someone joins, runs around, then leaves without typing anything
chat but I recently found out about the /clear and the /leavecommand that allows you to to leave zone chat (the ones with yellow text)
People needing help on a mission, doing the mission then halfway through they leave

* People who use the term 'clone' as if it's something to be ashamed of.
* Whining about Auto Target/ASI when you yourself use it
* Calibur Charge Spamming by inexperienced and unskilled players
* Pulsar used by inexperienced and unskilled players.
* Shield bumping enemies into others when they could have otherwise dodged it
* Toupees on anything that isn't a Jelly helm.
* Cobalt Armor + Wolver Cap
* People who insist their 3* Level 2 Antigua is doing wonders in Tier 3 Lockdown.
* Rare armor/helm/costume pieces with accessories thrown on for the sake of having accessories. (Ex: BKC.)
* Unironically mismatching accessories.
* Trapping teammates by hitting gate switches. (Most notable in Unknown Passage)
* Dying and begging for SoLs frequently.
* Dying during an arena and reviving just at the end after everyone else did the work for you.
* Spamming normal chat with stuff that belongs in /2
* /lol /lol /lol /lol /lol /lol /lol /lol /lol /lol /lol
* Vanguards who don't know what shield cancelling is.
* No more Retro Sun Shards.
* Mixing Shiver and Voltaic.
* Killing something before I get to detonate my stacks of Biohazard/Neutralizer.
* Going AFK when everyone else is waiting for you to get on the party button.
* Beggars.
* People who complain Orbs are too rare. Orbs are an objective improvement over CE being required for crafting.
* People who complain about the Forge and aren't even 5*.
* Troikas are slower than Sealed Swords. Sealed Swords have higher base damage, and they're faster. The range is negligibly different. Something is wrong here.
* Shard Bombs.
* Inconsistencies with Alchemers and other handgun bullets.

-I'm bombing and people knock an enemy out of the blast radius, especially when vortexing. Improperly used massive-knockback attacks in general.
-it takes longer for a gate to change levels than it would take if I'd just played the level I didn't want to begin with.
-I underestimate curse weakness and have absolutely everything locked out for 60 seconds.
-I use a Rocket Hammer with anything lower than VH ASI. So clunky.
-bombs outright require CTR to do much of anything.
-people complain about complaint threads when the complainers have valid points.
-I accidentally bump an enemy because I shield-cancelled, potentially hurting someone else.
-I'm put into any situation where I literally cannot avoid taking damage. Unless it's intentional and I'm dealing massive damage to compensate, anyway..
-I use a low mobility, low fire-rate gun and still do piddly damage.
-I'm afflicted with Shock. The least fun status in the game. At least you can shield through Freeze and dash to avoid a tick of damage with Fire, or play safe with Curse. Shock? Well, all you can do is hope you have enough room to run away before the next spasm.. Being "shock-locked" isn't the most fun thing either.
-Overuse of accessories.
-Intentional misuse of accessories.
-Having the same costume color scheme as someone else in the party. It gets confusing.
-Temporary content events (SotA, Kataclysm) having multiple months of downtime (neither event is active).
-Danger missions' rotation.
-Kats attacking in any order besides "simultaneously".
-Anything that dashes from offscreen, abusing the lack of an adjustable camera.
-Vanaduke's mask exploding invisibly when watered. Even when already watered.
-Gremlin Menders in general, and especially their healing rune AoE.
-Thwackers spinning without warning for massive damage.
-Gremlin Demos being more hard to hit than they're actually threatening.
-T2 Gun Puppies being more dangerous to swordsmen than their static-aiming T3 counterparts.
-The teamfighting mechanics of Trojans, where without voicechat or other organization you have two people trying to move/stand still at the same time.
-Randomized projectile direction from Toxoil/Toxigel/Giant Lichen spin attacks.
-Not being "able" to use weapons I like because they're statistically worse than other choices. Weapon balance in general.
-Enemies having to play their death animations before they drop their loot (and also blocking projectiles).
-People staying down and only reviving until after all the fighting is done in situations where I [and the rest of the team if applicable] can't fight effectively without the downed player. I make exceptions with friends or in regular runs.
-People who use every channel (/shout, /1, /2) at the same time, especially when it's tradespam.

__________________
Bonus gripes that don't fit your rules!

-OOO's policy of "say barely anything at all in Suggestions out of fear that it'll bias the community", and not giving specifics on their ideas of balance before the changes actually hit the servers (brandish buffs are big examples). Also the Shard Bomb incident where they opened up the testing server for feedback and barely did anything when they got the feedback they asked for.

I used to spend so much time in Suggestions, and it seems like OOO rarely ever acknowledges feedback for existing features/stats. Several months ago, I made a massive Battle Sprite feedback thread, putting a lot of effort into discussing the good and bad of each Sprite and how the system might be improved.. It has so much potential, but right now, the Sprite system just sort of exists.

-Radiant Crystal grindwall.

-Having to experiment and research nearly everything in the game to get definite stats and capabilities of gear, flinching, statuses, Sprites, etc.

a minor one - a key in a side hall which you have to get to open a gate just aways down the main hall with no monsters or obstacles of any kind between the retrieving of the key and the opening of the gate. I mean, what a waste of time . . .

a medium one - graveyards where you don't know which direction to go first

a major one - menders that retreat just out of reach as you swing your sword at them, and retreat, and retreat, and retreat . . .

This:

"- NO, this will not become a discussion about our utter hatred against SK and how it's so broken and Radiants don't appear and forging is stupid and… no. We still respect this game and its developers completely. Any direct stabs or threats at the game or its developers will be ignored (and potentially reported)."

Saying "The game is broken with the current radiant heating/energy situation thing" is a perfectly valid point, even if it is over discussed at all times. Nor is it even threatening the game, or the developers or disrespecting either of these. To say "the game is good and has a lot of potential, but it is being held back by the energy system/shards/lack of communication/strange testing methods" still implies that you like the game as a whole, but that you see an obvious room for improvement that the developers aren't making use of.

Most of the other things people list are vaguely annoying to me, but honestly I don't really care so much. People will always have crappy fashion senses, and hit switches on top of one another, and spam pulsar-- these are just parts of playing the game. But discussing the game is a different matter altogether, as it shouldn't be biased towards superficial things like how many threads there are about radiant crystals. Rather, it should be intelligent, well thought out, and free from bias.

Pushy, pushy forge!

I've got two pet peeves:

1. The forge. It's PUSHY. Every time I use an arsenal station, you know how the forge, loadout, and arsenal menus open up? Except the forge doesn't just open up its skinny little sidebar, but it also darn near full-screens whatever weapon it thinks I should be forging. Dude, if I WANTED to forge something (or if I COULD--coughcoughradiantcoughcough), I would select it from the forge menu myself!

The only way to make it stop is to close the expanded categories within the forge menu.

2. Why, why, WHY isn't the Battle Sprites Perks menu sortable like the Arsenal is sortable? If it is not sortable, WHY must it be PERFECTLY RANDOM?! It's not sorted by stars. It's not sorted alphabetically. It's just... random. Makes finding the perk I want annoying. WHY.

Pet Peeves

Picking up Moonstone or Valestone in the Clockworks. They're totally useless; they can't even be sold for money. Even if you've got, say, a Drakon and the only available minerals are Luminite and Valestone, please, please take the Luminite, because at least someone, somewhere, sometime can make use of it.

Also, people who say things like, "I have an idea: [suggestion goes here]. THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION!! It's just [lame excuse goes here]"

How useless bombs are.

SWORD

Pros: Hit things at close range, can use shield.
Cons: May need to chase enemies down

GUN

Pros: Can take out enemies from a distance, can use shield
Cons: Bullets reach different lengths.

BOMB
Pros: Good damage.
Cons: Have to stand around like an idiot, can't use shield, no defensive capability unless you're in a party, once placed only one or two enemies might accidentally step in the radius.

Thunder-The-Bright

gods ain't gonna help you, son.

nyanonix, I don't think so.
swords have great damage and short range (except some)
guns have not-so-great damage, but have range.
bombs spread out their not-so-great damage into a group of enemies, and you need to charge them.
bombs are as risky as swords, maybe a little less, and hit great crowd of enemies. you only have to dodge attacks while charging, which is not that bad with some bombs (or with MSI)

my greatest peeve is that guys kill enemies tagged with catalyzers just before you can hit them. it makes me quite frustrated, considering catalyzer is one of the funniest weapons I've ever tried.

Swag IS a virtue

The ridiculous knock back and stupid high damage from a brandish charge, specifically the Combuster. It can smash them backwards on a titlewave and instakill some types of Zombies. Ugh, its worse than the Polaris. AND, to top that off if you try to gun, everything gets *magically* pushed out of range, forcing you to follow the monster and maybe get stabbed by his cronies.

When I'm like... right behind

When I'm right behind you and I can't go faster.

I can't use a pet skill near a totem, sprite, or movable object. That said, I can't use a pet skill while holding said object.

I can't cancel my pet skill pointing finger in order to move faster.

I have to rely on fsc for everything I want in the game.

I can't farm depth 28. I have to start at depth 18 and go through 10 floors to go to depth 28.

I have to create an account for this site in order to post.

I hate having guild masters and officers asking me to donate.

Elite mode is just more hp&dmg for more cr. Which is good for farming fsc. But I was kinda hoping for a random factor and more cr.

If it's not fsc, it gives a few crowns.

I like Scarlet Fortress... at depths 25-28. Except for the one where at the end, there's a timed switch, explosives, and the smallest space possible to fight jellies. I'm a swordie! What am I supposed to do about that?

The Gauntlet only gives out a good amount of cr... on the very last part of it. I also think the Gauntlet is the only one that supports multiple status themes... Besides Red Twins.

I let people borrow from me... And most of them don't give back. It's human nature I suppose...

Gift boxes are like really expensive. You put something in it just to give it to someone. I mean. Why!?

My end-game is really punching uv's. I thought better of myself before this.

The most I can do for a friend is do the mission for them. I can't offer that many secrets or tips besides press F5 for recipes. Or even score them a free beer. I mean... nevermind.

Nick's gone...

Gremlin Assault where people used different weapons and tactics to take on challenges and had a sincere random factor where you definitely had to decide between going up or getting loot... is gone. Not that Gremlin Assault offered anything good equip-wise.

I don't talk to any npc's anymore. They're too chatty.

I miss the old GUI.

Maskerwraith is a really long name. And I don't like calling them Masks.

The Winmillion sucked. That was my first four star weapon and I thought it looked cool.

You know. There are times when I click and I don't attack or charge.

Guild halls are really big. And empty.

My peeve.

When you're helping newer players out through a mission or clockworks, they ask for a revive, you be nice and revive them, tell them to try not to die again, and they die five seconds later.

Irritates me

It irritates me when I tell someone that I'm willing to help them get crowns and materials by taking them on runs that provide them, but those people always end up treating me like a walking charity. Also, like many others, those people who ask for help on a run and then leave in the middle of it. People complaining about hammers in LD. Really, I used to be one of those complainers until I got one (I paid the 3200 energy for OCH. STILL F2P!) and even with the hammer, I still kinda suck. When I'm wearing my snarby armor and newbies always come up to me and begging for crowns.

Welp, time to report this thread for personal attacks.

Jokes aside, the only things that annoy me are:

Below-Champion players that join me for FSC or any missing they're not fit for. The fact that some of them can barely speak English makes it a bit worse. Normally I'm okay with others with English as a second language, but this makes it a bit worse for me for some reason. No offense to anyone. This is why I solo or go with people I know
Balance complainers
Complainers in general
People that blame "lag" for their shortcomings

Hey everyone,

Thanks for all the feedback on this topic! We got what we needed and recorded Episode 68 of the Arsenal Podcast yesterday. Be on the lookout on our website or Youtube for the posted episode if you're interested in listening!

I'll leave this thread open for a bit because it seems like people are still interested in responding. I'll Graveyard it when it stops getting attention.

In the meantime, wanna check out our new thread for next week's discussion? We're looking for your best moments in Spiral Knights!

Have a good one!

> Guild halls are really big. And empty.

Maybe if you donated? I dunno... Unless you are implying yoo donate on your own, and your GMs and officers still bug you donate, even after you did. If that's the case, switch guilds. Otherwise, stop being cheap.

Peeves?

I can count 10.
1. Drop rate of orbs is too low. I like to craft stuff, you know!
2. People whining about me using Auto-Target. If you don't like it, don't play lockdown!
3. People whining about me typekilling them. You snooze, you lose.
4. Nitronome abuse. It's like sticking hot needles in my eyes.
5. Camping. Enough said.
6. The arrogancy of PVPers. No, you are not "the best" because you just accumulated useless points.
7. Saying "<69". No, get your dirty things out of my game.
8. Intentionally getting people killed. Stop making Vanaduke's mace fall on me!
9. Begging. I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate HATE this!
10. Punch. Why is there a slot machine in my game?!

ARGH

When i try to circle around a trojan that is focusing another player to try to kill the trojan, but then the other player runs in the same direction i'm going. In fact, i think i'll write a guide on steam on how to kill a trojan, because GODDAMNIT THIS IS ANNOYING. Almost as annoying as a swarm of greavers.

Other peeves:

1. wolver cap + toupee
2. menders
3. greavers
4. those spiked jellies from the compound
5. being frozen
6. greavers
7. the fact that the pet level up items (power/divine/shadow stars, stones, orbs, etc.)
8. the drop rate of radiants.
9. greavers.
10. those people that keep the mic on, but don't say anything. NO I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU BREATHE OR WHATEVER IS HAPPENING ON THE BACKGROUND, THANK YOU.
