do you regret playing this game? ill admit that when i first started i was looking at random free to play games on steam to pass the time, and when i started my first character i was impressed by how well the game was done. the colors and art in the game got me hooked into what at the time seemed like a good long adventure through the clockworks, even when they started adding missions i finished them all and still felt the need to keep playing. yet now i fell like sk is starting to lose my interest. i still lurk on the forums but i haven't played the actual game in awhile. i sometimes wonder if this game is going to fade away. so i want to ask you people if this game has been worth it to you for however long you started playing, if you could start over would you metaphorically walk away from this game or would you do it all over, i mean how did this game impact you.
looking back on spiral knights.
Right now, I'm going through the quitting process. With all these recent lies about updates and improvements, I just feel betrayed. I don't feel like this game is actually worth playing anymore. The devs don't stay true to their word, the clearly lack the comprehension of gear and game mechanic balancing, listening to the player-base, and simple server maintenance. It's just depressing going in game now...
Once upon a time, I was an adventurer like you. I wanted a simple f2p game that I could mess around with and have fun in while on Steam. That's when I found Spiral Knights and the adventure began! I sought high and low for materials to craft my gear, I ventured from guild to guild until reaching one that felt like a home, I faced the dreaded Vana a multiple of times, and I searched for the rare accessories of my chosing! For a while, everything seemed fine, until the Battle Sprite update hit. I looked in awe at the choice of companions that I could have and squealed with delight at the announcement of free elevators! But then the next update came, the one that ruined EVERYTHING that the Battle Sprite update had achieved... I was devastated...
From all my ventures and all my spoils, I had used them to collect new adventures to which I'd explore if the day ever came that this one would end. I never thought the day would come, but....
Today is the day. I have to leave. I have to carry on and find a new source of entertainment because this game is simply not cutting it anymore.
I wanted new weapons and you said you'd give them to me.
You lied.
I wanted control over the arcade and you said you'd give it to me.
You. Lied.
I wanted all Battle Sprites to be equal, but you didn't even say you'd give that to me.
You created a really terrible way to make 2 of them OP and 1 completely USELESS. It could even be said that Battle Sprites are useless in general now since we now know that we could have had their skills as item drops in-game instead of having to get the Battle Sprite itself.
I didn't even want a UI change.
You gave us this hideous thing that we're now forced to stare at.
I just can't take anymore disappointment of these '' updates. '' These aren't updates, they're just things that degrade the game. If something isn't broken, don't fix it. Basic rule of life.
Do I regret playing the game?
No
Will I if I keep playing now?
Most definitely.
im not saying the games dying and i only made one thread asking people if they really thought this game was worth it.
It is.
It really, really is.

No significant regrets.
Well, the thing is. Even though I went through the entire clockwork, beaten every boss in the game. Have a lvl 62 masky, I am still looking forward to see what lies ahead, sure it is getting boring, but you can always take a vacation like me. I grinded like crazy for 2 weeks and now I layed back, waiting for the gunner update ( getting the curse magnus for sure). I mean, update like this will always piss off a portion of the fan-base, like what Wrath of the lich king did to the WoW communities. But if you are a true fan of the game, why regret it?
If one day this game shuts down, I would be definately sad, I will never be able to wonder through the sunshine imbued wildpath of the Aurora isles or the fire ridden hell ground of FSC. Saying Hi to Feron and talk Smack to Desna, or just break a few jokes during missions to people that I have never met before.
I will never say good bye to Midnight, he is like a friend of mine, a pretty pair of blue eyes looked stilly at me. Dressed in a set of ivory valkyrie armor, he waves his hand at me for the last time before he took off into the sky. I will miss him, *sniff* I will...
I keep stating my love for FSC, but... that feeling's been fading away... I hope the Gunner Update and new boss prove to be fun.
I haven't played the game for a long time, only 415 hours, but I have achieved all I needed and I don't feel like playing it anymore, In 1 week, I became vanguard, and in 3 I had completed 2 shadow lairs, crated my snarby suit and got the BCK, when I started the game looked great and I put a lot of heart and a tenchy bit of money, it was fun, but once you finish it, it has no replay value, and it is a total grindfest which gets boring after a while. D:
Ignore the grammatical errors I am in a hurry.
3600 hours and counting. No regrets. I've taken a break or two, not including the bans, but every other game I've tried makes me miss Spiral Knights. No other game has the same charm and even though it lacks endgame content now I still am looking forward to the small updates they keep churning out.
I do not regret playing this game. I went on hiatus (though I thought I was quitting) because I was simply bored. I spent 6 months looking for a game I would like (mostly paid, some free) and in those 5 months I couldn't find a game I could give 100 hours to. I realized in those 5 months I was looking for spiral knights. And spiral knights embraced my return. I joined in July 2011, quit in early march 2013 and returned late July 2013
My friend introduced me to the game, and he was my best friend. He is long gone now, but he means so much to me so I will play this game until I am the last one. This game means a lot to me, and I will never quit. I play this game for the memory of my friend. You can take all of my stuff and ban me. But I will NEVER quit. No matter how clueless and confused the developers are, I will stay. You will not stop me from playing. I will play this game into oblivion. I meant what I said and I said what I meant. Friendship is golden and brings things together all the time. I love this game. And I always will.
Thank you very much.
The game is not just worsening because the devs are clueless. I have a feeling that SEGA is the mastermind behind this. But it is also all the hate from the community. And the MORONIC IDEAS THAT POP UP IN THE SUGGESTIONS EVERY **** DAY! There is much stupidity and hate in these forums, that I would be scared to look for ideas there. So many of the suggestions I see would cost OOO a good chunk of time and money, with no clear revenue. I will continue to buy energy. Because when you stop doing that, you reduce the Developers' pay, they start working longer hours, sleeping less, and want to keep at this job less. OOO is a tiny company, that has been bought up by the notoriously horrible SEGA. SEGA calls the final shots, because that's where all the shareholders are.
I've had some regrets regarding what I do in the game, but I enjoyed my time playing. It offered a unique experience that no other game had gave, indirectly introduced me to several friends in RotMG and the ARPG genre as a whole, and I look forward to playing it more with the new updates.
It isn't a perfect game, but it is worth what I spend (time. Money? ehh.... I'm a P2W :P)on it.
@Nepetatheleo: A few of those "points" seemed to start with the words "I want." This game isn't about what YOU want. YOU aren't the only player. YOU aren't the only opinion either. Also, OOO never lied you fool. Has November come and gone by now? Did they not say things would come in phases over time? Get ahold of yourself and try being less selfish.
My friend and I had a thing every Sunday night we'd download a crap ton of indi or free games then try them all out while laughing. We wanted something we could use a game pad with and tried this out.... The End! I was looking for a diablo type game with few people involved in a party run. People make more of a difference when the party is small, massive battles we never really my thing. This game rox.
No, I do not regret playing this game. It has given me hundreds of hours of entertainment, mostly for free. (I've spent a little money.)
You seem to expect the game to go on forever, with new content being generated as fast as you can consume it. That's not realistic, or at least not for Three Rings. All good things must end.
If you really do care about Spiral Knights, then please do not make a lot of threads like this about how it is "dead" or "dying". New players might see your depressing threads, and decide that getting into the game is not worth the effort at this point. I don't know whether the game is healthy or not, but I've been seeing threads like this for the past 2.5 years, and the game hasn't died yet. So please don't encourage it to die. Some of us are still having tons of fun.
