Seriously, it'll be so much fun! Personally, I think OOO are releasing a mega-update with the gunner update, arcade redux, challenge mode, FIFA 16, better balance, an unannounced bomber update, and a new weapon type all at once!
Let's get excited about the scheduled downtime for no reason at all and get disappointed once it turns out to be just downtime!
Let's not forget the core update, tier 4, 6* gear, 5 and 6 star winmillion upgrades and that new boss along with the time travelling machine and steam workshop for user generated content.
This will probably be a really great moment in the history of SK! I'm serious. If they announce multiple days before the "mysterious happening" that the server will be down for hours, it will probably be more than a promo or some bugfixes. Whether it is the gunner update, Arcade Redux part 2, the opening of the core, Herex boss fight or whatever, I really think something big is going to happen.
I haven't lost my faith in OOO yet. And I hope this will be the prove that I was right when I kept believing in them. Lets see......
Well I mean there is a possibility its something more than just regular maintenance. I'm still waiting for the "Ladies and Gentlemen, place ya bets on what Wednesday's update will really be!" thread. If it is a promo it better be Plume themed, "We heard you like plumes so we're giving you more plumes to put on your plumes!"
Part of me hopes it is more than just maintenance or some promo, but I've learned not to get my hopes up.
They don't even make patch notes these days...putting up an announcement for server maintenance? GU redux confirmed.
My hope is for the return of the Apocrea event. It's been about long enough.
"The Overcharged Mixmaster can no longer shoot through walls."
*Does it anyway*
#sadbuttruepredictions
...
Seriously though, I'm really looking forward for the new promo after the downtime.
JOKING! They'll probably re use an old promo!
I'm at the point were I'm not even gonna buy CE if they do release everything having been announced.
i hate when mixmaster gets me in healing pad in ld. YEAAA MAINTENANCE UPDATE
Been a while since downtime, I sincerely hope [the Gunner Update isn't released, us Gremlins would not appreciate it...]

MEMORANDUM
TO: All Knights
FROM: Spiral HQ
SUBJECT: Regarding Downtime
Thank you, Knights, for your continued work on Cradle. We believe we're getting closer to getting off this shifting globe of gears, but part of this requires taking a break.
You all have fought hard for Haven, the Strangers, and the Spiral Order. So starting at 1PM on Wednesday, November 19th 2014, we're asking that you relax.
Take a break from your duties and maybe pick up a book. We have a few renovations to make in our Spiral databases so we won't be assigning any tasks to any knights for several hours.
We're giving you this information in advance so that you do not have to reschedule any plans you have with other knights for these couple of hours. Take time off - You deserve it!
SUMMARY: Take a break! We'll do a few things behind the scenes, but what you need to do is rest.
And just before you know it, it will turn into every single mmo player's worst kind of nightmare.
"EXTENDED MAINTENANCE."
Kidding, hopefully something nice comes from this.
1) The Game is being updated in 90 minutes
2) Everyone receives an in game mail saying the Gunner Update is coming out and some other patches (or they could say MAJOR UPDATE incoming)
3) We have a 2 hour patch!
Meanwhile, we discuss with our steam friends what we think is going down
4) We log in with the Gunner Update and other cool stuff
5) Everyone goes mental and is happy with OOO again :D
THE END!
*take out an eletric guitar*
Yes, Krakky, I do... I have been feeling it FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS FOR THIS!!!
STANDING HERE,
I REALIZE,
YOU WERE JUST LIKE ME,
TRYING TO MAKE ENERGY.
BUT WHO IS TO JUDGE,
CONTENTS FROM RESKINS?
BUT WHEN OUR SPARKS ARE GONE,
I THINK WE BOTH AGREE,
THAT END GAME BREEDS GRINDING,
BUT IN THE END,
ALL MMOs HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.
HE PLAY HIS ARCADE,
I FOLLOWED MY RAGE,
BUT MAYBE WE WHERE BOTH THE SAME,
THE UPDATE HAS DELAYED,
NO NEW GUNS TO MAKE,
BUT THE ART TEAM IS NOT TO BLAME.
AS I AM TEARING ACROSS FIRE STORM CITADEL,
I FEEL NEW KNIGHTS COULD BE BORN AFTER THIS GUNNER UPDATE,
AFTER THIS GUNNER UPDATE!!!
GUNNER UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Been waiting so long.
I've been lurking for too long. Hopefully today that will change.
*Crosses fingers*
Devilite promo devilite promo devilite promo...
If this is any kind of large content release, I'm going to be kind of disapointed with them for not hyping it up prior to release at all. We're a bit hyped up here, but most people are still just kind of hopeless and this honestly feels a bit more like desperation to me... I mean, look at the title of this thread lol. I have a hard time disagreeing with it either.
As for whether it is a content update, you can try to find out if whether the host of the servers is doing anything- they usually mention it publically. Of course, you could also just wait ten hours.
Today's the day my magnus gets upgraded at last...
I've waited a year for this day. /e cries tears of joy.
Yes my children, yes, get all excited, get all your hopes up and be all cheerful about it so I can see that face of disappointment when you face reality, so I can hear how your little heart gets crushed, SMASHED!! Wiggling and struggling like fishes out of the water until you lose your strength and your eyes look all dead and empty.... ahh yes I can already taste the tears of salt, this will be very amusing.
How people will look when it was just regular maintenance downtime.
I seriously hope its not tho. .
Oh yes players have all the reasons in the world to be angry and disapointed when it turns out to be a regular maintenance, you should flame OOO for giving their players HUGE expectatives, it's not like they were trying to tell you otherwise, it's not like you should be responsable for the consequences of your own actions or anything like that noooo nonono nooouuu.... nouuu.
Well I mean if it is the gunner update or some other new content, I'm sure everyone will be like this.
Na, they would be more like "oh. Ok.' The hype for the GU is like a quarter of what it one was. Kind of like if you asked for a Wii for your birthday 3 years ago and got it today.
Here's the thing: scheduled downtime for server maintenance is what was announced, and that's all we should be expecting. Don't get your hopes up for a game update.
This is just server maintenance and not a game update.
For those of you who don't know yet......
You need to keep your computers clean otherwise they could straightup fail... downtime probably includes replacing parts and blowing dust out of the computer inards
Honestly people I get you are excited about the chance of new content but critisizing OOO for something every computer owner should do is silly.
Let's suppose there never was server maintenance, eventually the poor thing would clog up from dust and overheat, it would put SK offline more than any downtime standard maintenance.
I refuse to believe you! Everyone knows that we're finally getting Super Brawl back!
@Holy-Nightmare Why thank you :) Now I know what games mean by maintenance. Don't they also upgrade there applications and other stuff?
@Aphrodite :(
@Everyone If the update ins't today, then it will be next week once the promo is over
MAN I WANT THAT BACK! Well I didn't even get the chance to play Super Brawl :(
This is just server maintenance and not a game update.
Server maintenance promo confirmed.
Honestly, could care less about new fire and freeze polarises
But server maintenance? Lag improved????
...??????
never believe anything until it has been officially denied
This is just server maintenance and not a game update.
just server maintenance and not a game update.
and not a game update.
not a game update.
I cant log in!
"The Game is in the process of being updated. Please try again in a few minutes"
The game in not being updated. The wording on that screen is incorrect. That is the message used for game updates and shouldn't have been applied today.
Thanks Aphrodite for confirming, I figured that much when nothing was different or downloaded.
It is a surprise update!!! The Gunner Update, the Bomber Update, the Swordsman update, the Shieldbearer Update, the Trinket Update the [some random class of new weapon] update, Herex boss fight, Morgral'm boss fight, tier 4, tier 5, 6* items, 7* items, Arcade Redux - Part 2, Arcade Redux - Part 3, challenge mode, more challenging mode, even more challenging mode, and of course...
THE FPS SNIPE SHOOTER MODE!!!
That is what is going to be released!
The game in not being updated. The wording on that screen is incorrect. That is the message used for game updates and shouldn't have been applied today.
But I want to hype myself to the point where I think it's the fault of the company that didn't release any official statements saying this downtime had anything to do with an update just so I can turn my hype into anger because I thought that I was right and there's no way the company knows how to run themselves!
:(
Because it will just break more things than fix... as always!
I WAS ABOUT TO GET HYPER!!!
(If you know what I mean :D)

The only person who can answer your question, Klawi, is God. Unfortunately, he won't speak up.
My magnus shall never be upgraded. He shall never fulfill his dream of being 5star. Never.
/e tips hat.
/e cries tears of pitiful sorrow.
Nothing happened, SK will just be like this, without an update, forever, forever, forever...

Good Luck Aphrodite!
One more thing for Aphrodite. Remember this Aphrodite... "I will always love you!!!" Sorry... Erm... Wrong tape...
Start over... REWIND...
Remember this Aphrodite... Gender Equality *thumbs up* ;)
You mean it's not the turkey ... err, gobble snipe update? :-(
I was so hoping for a cranberry sauce costume.
Sorry, but you have to be dissapointed.
