O________________________O

That a huge... suprise.
And huge change. For better :0

What happens to the CE market?
What will be the use of the mist well then? Give free energy?
What everyone is saying, what do we do with our mist tank?
When the patch comes, what will happen to our mist? Covert into energy?

Well I guess removing mist is fair.

But, but, the economy- and, but-

finaly ill be able to play clockwors again not yust vana ^^

HAIL OOO !!!

You will now find loot drops (“Orbs of Alchemy” and “Fire Crystals”) in the Clockworks that you can use to craft and upgrade your gear.

Question, do you still need Energy to craft items? Do you still rev in lockdown with energy? What any other uses does energy have now?

OOO, please for the love of trojan make missions not repeatable. I would like to go back to the Arcade.

It's nice to k ow that spiral knights is trying to revive the arcade because you have to admit it, be four ld running through the arcade was pretty fun.

"Question, do you still need Energy to craft items?"

From the sounds of preview server info, orbs of alchemy are intended to straight-up replace the raw energy requirement.

Just because I'm curious and will actually be affected by this update more than a minor amount, I've decided I'll field a few questions.

"To that end, we will be implementing ways to give people an appropriate value for items such as mist wells, mist tanks, and elevator passes, which are being replaced under this new system."

Can we get some sort of estimation as to what this might be indicative of? Because I have an elevator pass that is due to last for quite some time. Will someone with an extended elevator pass receive the exact same compensation as someone who only has one for a month or two left? Or will the recompense be incremental based off of the time remaining? Normally this question would be a minor one, but I've had this elevator pass since the Explorer Update with the Stranger Hats, and would like to know if I'll at least get something of equivalent value based off of the pretenses that were set then. If not, eh, I still got a nice year or so out of them.

To that end, will the mist wells be "refunded" so to speak based on a blanket/one-size-fits-all refund or will it also be based on how much mist is in said mist well?

Last, but not least, if I recall correctly, there are several promotional packs that include Mist Tanks as one of the items you receive when you make the one-time purchase. What can we expect to see change from those to replace the mist tanks, if there is anything in the works regarding that?

I've been playing sk since it went on steam and I've never seen an update close to this size excluding the mission update. But this will literally change the game I hope for the better. It will encourage new knights to keep playing instead of quitting when they run out of mist. I am especially excited about difficulties and experience requirements for high lcl gear. I can't wait to see the new rewards for hard difficulties!
( is it me or did nick hint something about new gear?)

Save your breath if your ranting, they won't hear you, if your cheering it on go ahead, either way it really makes no difference on what's going to happen.

Ok, the way I see it, theres some good and bads. Pros: Mist gone and elevators free. Cool! Cons: Update will take six bajillion years to update (jk).

Questions: Ummmm...How will you compensate mist wells and tanks? What about crafting? Does that still require CE (well energy now I guess)

What about the CE econmy? (I did it again. ENERGY.) I was very xcited at first until I read the test preview server and then I was disappointed because I didn't see the whole picture, and now I see this and Im kinda...idk....slightly optimistic? Anyway, hoping to see how this devolps.

P.S. Do you have a positive release date yet?

I'm going to miss my mist. It would be easier to revive like that. Now u can't revive for heat. And what if u want to make a 2 star weapon u have to buy ce instead of using mist to craft 2 items :(

Oh noes, I'm a noob and I can't play this game with just one FREE revive per game.

Well. This is going to be interesting.

There are obvious benefits to removing the cost of elevators. Crowns are no longer as sharply decided by how much payout you get from FSC. However, there's also some obvious drawbacks; Three Rings will feel justified (and they may be right) in increasing the price of other things, such as crafting, and even with so many blatant cash grabs (that I understand the reasoning for now), I'm having trouble seeing how the game will survive. (Then again, it's surviving right now with a lot of F2Ps.)

You can also progress through the game while not spending a cent; spending crowns or cash on Energy is purely for:
--Crafting faster (let's face it, you want that Vortex NOW)
--Variant hunting (Unless you just spam your ginormous Crown surplus to Punch in search of that elusive CTR VH Dark Retribution)
--Shadow Lairs (which will now be crazy expensive, unless your entire team is a-freaking-mazing at dodging attacks)
--Revives (so that poor guy that lagged into spikes doesn't have to lie there while you get the money)
--Weapon Slots and Trinket Slots (because we like quad wielding, we like it a lot)
--HATS (So you can say, like any behatted man, "I buy hats, I am better than you"... which, admittedly, is a big part of TF2's income)

Removing Health Sharing is still kind of a downer; you'll still see the dead guy lying there unless you shell out the cash. Not as depressing as if you leave Curly Brace behind in Cave Story (oops might have spoiled something), but it's still a bummer that the poor guy can't keep running with you. Still, now I understand why they were doing this.

What I'm wondering is why Three Rings didn't tell us about this on the Test Server! It would have been nice to know before we all saw "no more health sharing," applied it to the present system, and freaked the [REDACTED] out.

Initial reaction:

"NO MIST NO ELEVATOR COST WAIT WHAT WT- ALSDKJFGSJBFDMUYKHJ˚¨Ó®†ÍÎǶ"

second reaction:

"wait how do they make money now?"

I mean if " As you play, you will find over time that you have more orbs than you need for the upgrade of your initial choice of weapons, and that you have the resources to build a broader arsenal of gear", who would want to buy anything? No need for elevator passes, no need to buy CE for crafting or for elevators... Also, won't the price of CE plummet since no one needs it for anything? Or will we just not have a market tab?

I'm glad. Very glad, thank you! I just don't quite understand how Fire Crystals work out.

Reading the patch notes reminds me of the suggestions I used to write back when I cared enough to do that.

Thank you. I think I'll actually buy some CE.

Two questions:
What is the deal with this fire shard thing?? (where do I get them? What perks besides "double heat", like UVs? for sale in supply depot?)

How expensive will everything be??

Ya, without mist... goodbye trinkets

uh, what will I do with mist tanks and elev pass? will OOO compensate for them?

Well in the event SK does go down, I'd pour my hard-earned allowance into getting OOO back on its feet.

Fire crystals sounds like a pain compared to how we're used to dealing with heat levels. Not a fan of them having a chance of failing.

Everything else sounds very intriguing indeed.
