I feel like the forums are plagued with people being negative and just complaining about the game. It must be really discouraging for the guys at OOO to work hard on sk only to see that the forums is for the most part in uproar against them. But honestly Spiralknights is a really awesome game. The art style, design, game mechanics, the concepts, the music, and the ideas are all truly unique and cool, and it make Spiralknights such an enjoyable game to play. I've been playing this game off and on for about three years, and in all this time, almost every time an update comes out, people will complain. And when an update doesn't come out (gunner update ahem) people complain. So I'm here to do the opposite. To the devs at Three Rings, and the GM's: keep up the great work!

And as for the gunner update, people need to understand that this is going to be a HUGE patch. An immense amount of balancing and testing and QA work needs to go into it, it's not something you can rush. Whenever the fans push the devs to release early, you can almost guarantee that the work released will be sub-par. And rebalancing half the game's weapons is not an easy task.

So yeah <3 OOO :)

It's something that happens every few months. I believe the last time a lot of negative comments were popping up Fangel made a thread alike to this one. But I can't find the link right now :P

As many have said before, we just got to take it one week at a time. Though it is a small community we do demand quite a load that only such a small team can handle do so much to forfill our desires.

A long with the many bugs in this game people complain about, the desire is more on new content. Which they're obviously are working on mentioned in that "What's in Development" thread from September.

I agree with you 10000%. Thank you OOO.

:/ Disparity is a bless

When there is life, there is death, when there is light, there will always be shadow.

And yes, this forum will never exist without negativities. Imagine, everyone on forum cherring, kissing OOO's butt everyday, you will get bored of that soon enough and become a person like me, join the dark side, because what is batman without his joker?

As much I enjoyed the game, OOO's mind buffling design choices should never be tolerated. The game had an epic concept, unique design, and OOO just flopped it over, get bought be SEGA, failed steam promotions, trading card has fadded. I can rant on for four paragraphs about how OOO failed. But I don't want to waste my time, it is not worth it.

Here I will just list some of OOO's fail, call this, the hall of shame.
-Forge
-Radiant drought
-Brandish buff of OPness
-Shard nerf
-Meaningless prize boxes
-Stupid promotions (there are good ones, and then... there are the ones that are down right bad)
-RNG, I hate it, Draycos hates it, everyone who dumped 200K cr and got a slime low hate it. And it is still there.
-Compound, nothing like respawning enemies to piss you off on an arcade run
-UV imbalances
-Armor type imbalances
-delayed gunner update, for five months and more to come
-SoL drought, making buying SoL almost compulsary.
-Flash sale
-Bad new UI that adds nothing to the game
So on and so on

Great job, OOO! Keep doing a good job.

@Xephyris
You know that people actually care about the game and love it, right? Even the people that complain?
Not every player don't understand that Gunner Update will be a Huge patch or that OOO is a small team. A lot of people actually comprehend that OOO is working on different games and on a important patch.

The complaints will stop when there is nothing to complain about.

This has the potential to be a better game, but there are many things holding it back.

To be honest, I'm very concerned about the Gunner Update, and it's what'll bring me back to the game, or keep me away from it for good. I wish they were less secretive about what they're doing, giving us the details of what weapons they're fleshing out or how they're changing the mechanics, so everyone can give their two cents on it before they waste time making bad decisions.

If the testing server would actually be used for something, that'd be great. The Gunner Update doesn't need to be tested when it's nearing completion; we could test bits and pieces of it, maybe even interact with the devs themselves..

Even then I'd be concerned, because we all know what happened with the Shard Bombs and how Acheron was buffed without all Brandishes being nerfed. It's like they only see part of a problem before they try to fix it..

"RNG, I hate it, Draycos hates it, everyone who dumped 200K cr and got a slime low hate it. And it is still there."

I hate it so much that I killed a thread by throwing a wall of text at it.

I'm just sitting back

And waiting for that holy day when Australian/southern hemisphere server comes out.
What a wonderful day that would be. Many returning players, more recruits will stay.
And the Snipe God will be handing free ecto drops to everyone.

Anyway back to topic.
As long as the gunner update is eventually done, I am happy. I can currently use this time to not sit in haven all day but play my portal games. :0
I guess the negative comments about waiting for the gunner update can act as a stimulus? :o

The GALL of some people to speak out their personal opinions!

Take a page from OOOs book of silence. No one gives a [bad bad word, eep] about what you think, so best keep those negative thoughts to ourselves.

I'm always optimistic

Three Rings has always been doing a good job with their game. They only fail expectations when they try to make their company something that it is not, and the customers who only want a product will only see what they purchase rather than what they already have.

Right now we have a great game, and I would be just fine and happy if it were to not get updated. However, the updates are always a load of fun, so I always look forwards to them. I don't believe Three Rings should put out as much content as fast as possible - they should put out good content at a pace that allows for a stress-free workflow. Being stressed as a programmer leads to sloppy code, and sloppy code leads to bugs and other bad things that the customers will complain about and will prevent you from moving onto the next project.

Love 'ya Three Rings. ;)

Am I the only one that's more annoyed by the ridiculous fanboyism that creeps up?
