I want old RSS :c

You forgot to mention bugfixes/balancing.

I really wanted arcade redux, but it won't matter if radiants are still stupidly rare. Same with gunner update. New weapons? Great! Enjoy them being eternally weaker than your fully heated 4*!

The challenge mode isn't included on poll.

Can't say I'm surprised. 3 other people in the whole sk community other than myself included probably care about it. Could be nice to, with arena like areas that require teamwork over brute force for amazing rewards.

More people I'd asking for the arcade reduce than the gunner update even though there are millions of threads asking for the gunner update or else they will quit. While there are very few arcade redux posts.

The troll option was funny. But I feel it wouldn't do much. The Tortodrones were resistant to piercing, so the obvious choice is to use the Volcanic Pepperbox. But the Blitz still out damaged it!

What if we don't want anything?

Hey you forgot your image macro

Also VP is sort of wasted on vana due to fire immunity. And I heard that against tortodrones, who resist the same things as vana's mask, blitz STILL does more dps.

Voted Arcade Redux.

I think fixing split damage swords falls under balance between weapons, wouldn't you say? As for the first gamepad issue you listed, I honestly prefer to have it this way as it allows me to shield cancel much more efficiently. Anyway, there should be an option for it because it is something that makes playing with a gamepad pretty painful. Furthermore, I'd like to point out that the game generally handles gamepad input horribly. If you hold a button, get a bit of framerate drop, and release it before your PC recovers, the game won't recognise that you have let a button go. This has killed me so many times in Lockdown as I try to boost away or attack people but all I get is attempts at dashing and shield bashing because my modifier button is "jammed".

Radiant drop buff by far. It's horrible trying to farm solely for these things.

Yeah, this was something that was bothering me (about the forums) too. Arcade Redux was this:

Arcade Redux
After a great deal of evaluation we’ve decided to change the way the Arcade will work and the purpose it will serve to the SK community. After introducing missions, the Arcade has become a place of redundancy. It has also suffered from the recent sprite update, relying on mineral leftovers from the community.

Over several patches, we intend to transform the Arcade into the place it has always aspired to be:
- A sandbox-type experience where unexpected things can happen
- A place where players can farm materials and items in between missions
- A feature that gives players some degree of control over the experience

This isn't just rebalancing gates - it almost sounds like an entire reworking of the arcade to make the it really stick out differently from the mission system.

I don't exactly know if it's good news for the people who have fallen in love with the randomized gate runs that arcade is now, but it would have been good news for the game in terms of a fresh experience.

My perspective as an older player (well, took a year off from MMOs along the way, but otherwise, I've been here since before SK was on Steam) is that I want to bring my friends back to the game. In the year off or so that I took, they're not PVP players, so they had run arcade and vanaduke (pre mission system!) countless times to the point that they're not really interested in the game anymore. Battle sprites brought them back for like, 2 weeks before realizing the rest of the game was still the same. I'm hoping Arcade Redux can be something fresh for them ;P

Voted for Arcade Redux, but I'd rather prefer bugfixes, improving servers stability and balancing equipment. Adding new bosses or nerfing OP weapons/armors or buffing guns with Gunner Update or increasing Radiant drop won't fix main problems of Spiral Knights. I'd rather play old content of Spiral Knights with balanced system rather than play new content for two weeks and then chill out for a month or two (of course, having both new content and balanced weapon/armor/monster system would be the best).
