i stopped playing... i dunno a year ago or so? after the (terrible) UI update, (unfinished) forge update and the pets.

now (as you could have guessed) i returned to the game for the gunner update... just to find NOTHING changed!!

i mean... there where so many complaints that just needed simple fixes!

- lag issues are still there
- radiants are still the most rare things in the game (hell i found more 5* orbs then i found radiant crystals today!)
- people asking for a "change UI option (come on... this shouldn't be THAT much work?)
- option to disable the red glow when on low(er) health (again due to lag!)
- a forge option at the start of boss levels
- option to sort vials and pills (or make a dedicated slot for health items)
- etc.

these forums used to be filled to the brim with good simple suggestions... (haven't looked at them since i stopped playing, hoping the devs would take these to heart)

now i come back to the game, and nothing changed! appart from the gunner update! realy... what happend to the dev team? when nick was still there these things would have been on the table or allready ingame! why are you slacking? or are you lot just milking the moneycow here? (i still see so many lockbox updates on facebook... nothing else!)

would be nice to get an answer from the admins or devs why the devs stalled like this (appart from working on the gunner update???)

Well, there are not a lot of good suggestions anymore (mainly because of no feedback from the devolopers, and very little introducing of new things.) Not much has changed..we got some new guns (old guns felt better moving, but that's just my opinion), got some new armor/helms which are mediocre compared to shadowsun and terrible compared to black kat stuff..there have been very few content updates within the last year or so.

you missed the radiant buff

You missed the buff to Radiant drop rates (release 2014-02-26). There is some anecdotal evidence that drop rates have been reduced again, but I want to stress that this evidence is not reliable yet.

Lag is hard to fix. It requires people to get faster computers and Internet connections (depending on what exactly you mean by lag), or probably a complete rewrite of the Spiral Knights code, which isn't going to happen.

Isn't there an option to disable the red screen of near death? I'm not sure.

The rest of your complaints are legitimate, but rather small. I don't think that Three Rings should make them high priorities. There are bigger problems to deal with. For example, the party joining bug is a bigger deal to me, and that's nowhere near as important as making new content.

@OP Why don't you pay for

@OP

Why don't you pay for fiber optic connections throught the world then! That would actually be awesome.

Radiants just take time: 4 vanas a day for a week can heat an item. And 4 vanas a day is really not a lot.

1) Lag will always exist so long as we're talking about online games. SK is poorly programmed, for sure, but this is a given.
2) I'm pretty sure it's not that hard to get to depth 25.
3) Never going to happen any time soon, sorry to break it to you.
4) That happened forever ago, where the heck were you?
5) Do something other than FSC. In other words: No.
