Hey everyone! I quit playing back in March largely because I was bored with the game, I just got on today and was hoping to hear some information about the gunner update.
I searched around the internet and noticed that in late march there was some testing done on the test servers but there hasn't been any news yet, or at least none that I've been able to find.
Does anyone have information? :3
Long time no see, Curly. <3 Not much new content unfortunately. :( The testing servers were open last month so there might be something soon. :3
The latest notes indicated that they were going to be revamping the armor - a good move, IMO. 36 new sets was ridiculous. I'm holding off on doing any new armor until they show what the revamp is going to be like there.
^Ok, now that one actually IS a spoiler. The developers have said nothing about any number of armor sets; therefore you must have gotten that number from the testing server.
Either that or they're making it up.
Nothing is a spoiler when it is publicly discussed in the test server forums that everyone has access to.
They didn't say they were reducing the number, but the last round said that armor changes were not in place but would be coming. My view is they are cutting down on the preposterous number of micro-specific new armors.
When rarities were introduced to the game, several players got incredibly angry. The moderators then silently graveyarded every single thread asking the developers to not change the game. They did this, because it was "discussing changes from the testing subforum".
The Gunner Update: The Spiral Knights Story, Part 1, Volume 4, Series 2, Season 5, Sequal to 'How to Train your Drakon 4'
Went something like this:
OOO CEO: Lets release a Gunner Update!
OOO Employees: What the HECK is an update!? *releases promos*
Most recently, the developers introduced us to Herex and some mysterious new after-boss circle things that could lead to further story development. This could easily end up being tied to the gunner update. Aside from that and what you've read in testing, not really anything to talk about.
