I spent maybe a whole year not logging to SK and when I'm back there's still no new coliseum minigames...
Is there any particular reason for that or does OOO just doesn't care about it?
Only two minigames for the coliseum?

In this one year, theyve announced gunner update and it is still yet to come, i think thats something they would work on.
What type of gamemode do you think they'd make? All i want is custom games and not random queue for lockdown

I think Three Rings didn't want there to be competitions in the first place. If you want competitions, go play something else.

should rotate
Player interest will be divided among the available games. If many games are available, then it may be difficult to maintain a critical mass in each game. So there should not be more than a couple of games available at any one time.
I think that new games should be added --- for example, maybe a version of Lockdown with non-custom armor/weapon choices --- and the games should rotate in availability.

A gunner game? That'd be nice, Khanink. But maybe they just don't care about it since we don't either.
I've suggest maybe one or two minigame mechanics last year. I had a whole topic for it and some 4 to 5 people building on the concept...
I just hoped the comunity would grow abit while I was out; that'd hopefully make OOO feel they'd profit from more coliseum games <.<

I'm basically with Bopp on this one. Not many people play Spiral Knights, and another mini game type thing would draw away from the already small base of people playing the existing coliseum games.

There used to be another mode
There used to be another mode with no gear restrictions in a free-for-all format, with none of the LD shield modifiers. It was unbalanced to the point that removing it made sense, of course, but it'd be nice to see a free-for-all mode again some day.
EDIT: Super Brawl. That was the name.

@ Fehzor
Another reason the PVP community is so small is that new players don't stick around long, they don't like getting ROLFSTOMPED every time they play and just ditch the whole PVP scene or just hang out till they grab the recipes they want and then never come back.
And lets not forget the current toxicity of the LD "elite" always ready to call anyone a noob for using a game feature or weapon.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!
They need a monthly rotation, as-per Bopp's idea.
And powerups in LD. To make it seem more casual...maybe not.

@ Autofire
I don't think a lot of the LD community would play if it rolled around to enforced AT, Removed UVs, Trinket free, or armor perk free LD. And if they don't play then LD never gets started and the new players have even more trouble getting into LD. (I'm not sure what would be worse, waiting for a LD match for hours because the pros are too stuck up to play with AT or getting stomped in a free for all).
It would be better if the rules were randomly applied at the beginning of each match, this way it would be casual and the current LD community would just have to deal with the randomizer if they wanted to play Pub LD.

Concerning PvP...
This thread (http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/106364) has a great idea to make new players come into LD and have non-rage games with stupid comments like 'OMG AT NUB' or 'FRIGGIN POLA NUB GTFO AND DIE' and stuff like that because then they can make non-pola/AT lobbies
There should also be something like 'intro into LD/BN' that shows players the classes, how to use them etc....
haaaaaahahahahaahahaa... but seriously, what?
people hardly play in the coliseum because of how horrible the lag is in BN and how ridiculous bonuses are in LD, If I were OOO I would have stopped caring about it as well.
