Where are those new gunner armors and the Gilded Griffin? What happened to that update?
So, what happened to the Gunner Update announced last year?

Well, that sucks, how can they justify that after so mny delays and making us wait so long? I was looking so forward to some new loadouts for my gunner.

Move over, there's bubble-wrap to be popped!
Now we just need a GM to come on here and say Fehzor is wrong, (Because technically, Fehzor said that) so I can overreact to the fact that they replied to my post and throw a party
P.S. Fehzor is wrong

If you mean he's wrong to cancel this update, then yes, he is. He doesn't have the authority.

No, Fehzor was wrong about the gunner update being canceled by OOO.
In reality, I blackmailed OOO to give me 1 million dollars or else I would take the gunner update. OOO laughed at me thinking I wouldn't do it and didn't pay me, so I did.
OOO is still after me, but they won't give it back until they give me five million dollars.

If that's the case, can anyone give me the statistics for the upcoming Gilded Griffin and all the new Gunslinger armors?
I don't suppose there's a new Gunslinger shield coming out too?

The gunner update has been
The gunner update has been confirmed not canceled. Is it worth waiting for? I think yes.
Hypothetically speaking with no spoilers, a piercing six shooter would probably do the same damage to piercing weak enemies as the current Antigua lines deal to their respective weak families.
The gunner armor that was tested is still probably undergoing some balance changes.
No gunner shield in particular was teased.
Swiftstrike is probably the most gunner oriented shield. Or the tortoshields because of the high spread of stun.

The truth what happened is...
They're working on balancing everything.
That's why it's delayed, they're going back and balancing everything.
Three Rings learned Balance!

Well, I at least hope the new Gunslinger armor has some decent defense/resistance combinations. Such as a Shadow/Fire Gunslinger set.
Is there any official date for the Gunslinger Update now, or is it still months away?

no, they quitted giving out dates because then the community would have been upset of another delay.
it will come out when it's ready.

Well, they did that with the Core update, and we still don't have it, so that worries me that the Gunner update might not be ready for YEARS.
We're still waiting for OOO to open the Core/T4 and give us the conclusion of the Cradle, whether the Skylark is repaired and allows the SK's to return home, and the fate of the Recon Team. Get on it.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!
There hasn't been any updates for a long time, but no, it hasn't been canceled. Aphro got on peoples' cases for (jokingly) making up false stories about it.

gods ain't gonna help you, son.
well, they haven't shown works on core opening* but they have shown they have plans for guns overhauling and that they are working on it with the test server.
*the core opening terminal doesn't count. as much as people pumped minerals in it, developers said that there was nothing behind it.

@OP Cash-milking promos are
@OP Cash-milking promos are appearing to be far more important than content that actually sticks around and keeps veteran players from ragequitting.
I saw that one thread where Aphrodite responded to some of our concerns and to say the least I'm skeptical. While I'm not against OOO introducing promos and crap once in a while that earns them money to keep their company going, it's frustrating to see that they appear to have no trouble pushing out these promos constantly. Since the gunner update announcement we've seen almost 20 prize box promos since then, which works out to about one every 2 weeks.
The longer we wait for the gunner update, the less worth while it will be. In other words when it does come, it better blow my mind. Otherwise I'm gonna have no choice but to sell all my stuff and bid farewell to this game.

PREPARE THE COFFERS
I'm going to just look around the ignorant posts that treat the promos like they're a huge timesuck (because they're not) and get to this one:
The longer we wait for the gunner update, the less worth while it will be. In other words when it does come, it better blow my mind. Otherwise I'm gonna have no choice but to sell all my stuff and bid farewell to this game.
But why do people like you treat the gunner update like it's going to be this big deal? Most of you will continue on with your sword play as before, or get blocked by Radiants and decide not to craft the guns/armors.
It's also very likely not the only thing they're working on (hey, remember the real game-changing arcade-redux that's supposed to make amends for Arcade being neglected in favor of the mission system and turn it into a sandbox-like experience?).

i think they are testing carefullly to make sure gunner update and arcade redux will go well with each other.

I heard a rumor that.......
The Gunner update was gonna be released(probobly the time they will be finished.) in September. i want the core update WAY more than the gunner. gunner only give you i little more guns. the Core should unlock(after the boss inside) a journey to other worlds! also being in space! and letting you explore the clockworks! and caves that lead 2 elevators! and if your lucky, u will get a prize!(a 3 or 4 star gun.)

I'm back from the dead
And this is what greets me? Looks like Gen Disc hasn't changed at all.
We all know the Gunner update is confirmed real.
Fehzor isn't an admin, thus he's not to be listened to.
"The longer we wait for the gunner update, the less worth while it will be. In other words when it does come, it better blow my mind. Otherwise I'm gonna have no choice but to sell all my stuff and bid farewell to this game."
I think this statement is good. Yeah, that works.
We also have the big Arcade Redux coming, don't forget that, oh greedy Gen Disc.

People act like the gunner update is the second coming of Spiral Knights. If anything, that's what battle sprites did, and we all complained anyways.
We just build up so much hype that by the time an announcement gets into the game we're mad that it's not what we hyped it to be. Three Rings isn't even hyping the gunner update as much as we have in the last year. Honestly, we're only disappointing ourselves. :\

OOO said the update would be
OOO said the update would be released "when it's ready". And by that they mean after they're done with their phone-book list of ideas for promos.
@Fangel
The battle sprites were underwhelming.
Only a handful of skills are actually good and one of each ultimate is absolute rubbish (haunted haze and violent heart attack being the biggest offenders).
The skills have a shared cooldown instead of separated ones, which means you can't use two skills at once when you need it the most, and that makes the player very hesitant about using them, since you might need to use another quickly.
Not to mention they take forever to heat and the harnesses, other than damage type alignment, were ridiculously expensive for what they give (128K for just a 10% cooldown, really?).
If OOO can't deal with criticism and improve themselves with it, they might as well shout on twitter "Gunner update is cancelled."

Guess I wasn't clear.
When I said "Battle Sprites", I could have more accurately said "Battle Sprite update". Forge, rarities, instanced loot, free elevators... All that came around in one update, and changed various parts of key gameplay.

Ah, the whole update.
To be honest, I never acted like the sprites were "the second coming to christ". In fact, I was expecting much worse (specifically monetization wise). I was completely surprised when they announced that the game was actually F2P back then and boy, didn't I jump of joy! Only think I really didn't like about the update was the forge - it's a big hassle to heat things since then, and specially now for 5* gear becuase OOO wasn't getting enough dough from the crystals, their alternate cash-in gimmick to the elevator costs.
More of the criticism comes not only from the battle sprites, but also from the forge itself. I'm very sure, however, that we applauded OOO for removing that horrible thing of elevator costs.
And of course, no matter how awesome an update is, it won't stop from "those guys" saying that the whole thing sucks. OOO just needs to ignore out those guys from the criticism sea and pick up the constructive ones to see what went right or wrong according to them.

So far neither the developers nor the game masters have proven me wrong..................................
But really though, we don't know that it wasn't canceled and there is perhaps more evidence of Spiral Knights not being worked on extensively than there is of any sort of positive future for the game- especially with this mixmaster business.

Fehzor
The devs said the update would be released "when it's ready", without giving a date or anything like that. If that doesn't hint you or anybody else that the update won't be released anytime soon (or never) I'm not sure what will do, other than the words from the devs themselves confirming that.
Wed, 08/27/2014 - 16:39

Yes, although I would like to point out that (unless I am mistaken) the current developers never said the gunner update would come out when it was ready, or at all for that matter.

I've been saying it for
I've been saying it for months now, Fehzor.
If they have time to make twice as many unique weapons as to what was advertised in the gunner update, then there's no excuse other than to delay the game and keep raking in the money until the very last possible minute.
You can count all the new gear that was introduced into the game via promo or event, and it exceeds any new content they could possibly release as the "stand alone Gunner Update". Let's all put on our tinfoil cyclops caps and face the truth; there is no gunner update "until (we {OOO [SEGA]}think/feel/made enough money) it's ready."
"It was canceled." ~Fehzor, I don't remember the exact quote though
