Alf you might want to edit that, it says FedEx instead of herex
Swarm Core [New mission or what, discuss]
sorry to inform and you and break your massive hypes but the core has already been opened , the RT recon model ( i think ) says that shadows became alive and attacked the alpha squad ,and where does shadows become alive ? unknown passage @ shadow lairs
@Shady-The-Cosmic
People have been aware of this for a while... Maybe you didn't see the screenshot, but it's the swarm + core that's getting people hyped, not just the idea of the core being openable. Also, it's the Entrance to the Core Recon Module that talk about the core opening. The Recon module also refers to the end of the Unknown Passage, where the core is your savior from the core. The screenshots, however, imply that the swarm may be either coming from the core or assaulting the core directly.
Hey Traevelliath, I think that what's really going on is that the Swarm was trying to attack the Core directly since the recon modules told us that the Core saved the Alpha Squad. As well as the echo stones telling us the origins of the Core from what is most likely the Core's own point of view, which is very likely since Vaelyn told us the Core is no mere machine also, and the Core may have saved her and some of the knights as well at the end of that new update when the Swarm attempted to attack the Core again. So I think that the Core is not only trapped in Cradle's Clockworks, but the thing keeping it trapped is also trying to keep the Swarm out and away from the Core. But I'm not sure how long it will last, so we need to find a way to get everyone out of there and defeat the Swarm very soon in this new update. But finding the way to defeat the Swarm is going to be even harder than accessing the Core most likely, so we need to be very prepared for this.
This has got to be the fifth time I've quit the game.
Let it go...let it go...you can stay in your quit status.
..............
ARGH! I'M COMING BACK AND I'M GOING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT IT!
I think I've had this conversation with...myself...before. I feel like I'm feeding something by coming back...
^Oh please, try 8 times......
*cries in corner while thinking about pathetic life*
*jumps off bridge*
#Hype. Just randomly decided to check up on Spiral Knights and see this.
I cant wait for the swarm core mission hopefully a new weapon
At least OOO is doing something
I m wait for a swarm infected havens .... Or maybe swarm infected NPC knights with Op weapons ... Now that would be awesome
Aphrodite, have you already managed to get some screenshots from the devs? Or do you need even more cookies?
I actually think she has eaten all the cookies herself, and that the devs are starving now...
What's the Swarm Core you are talking about? Something new with the Core?
..must be new here
The swarm core is what we think is supposed to be the core 'infested' by the swarm, and probably a 'boss' we might have to face. There were some photos 'stolen' from the debs by aphrodite (:3) which show a player at the core with the swarm…or something like that. These new 'features' should be released next week
Actually im not new here. I have 2* gear. Oh, and thanks for helping me. I hope my computer will fix before the swarm core update, or I will go crazy...
I meant new on the forums….
anyway…Aphrodite I sent you some cookies, give 'em to the debs, WE WANT FOOTAGE!
@Matik
It would be hopeless to fight whatever final boss shows up there with two star gear.
I'd suggest you'd continue to work your way up the mission ranks until you reach max rank before trying to fight it, whatever it is.
The spoiler pics from Facebook have got my attention~
I'm back in-game for the time being and ready to play this content!
(And, I done changed my name again. you'll see my as Celeius)

That would work right? They'll eventually pass out....
*sweeps up the cookie crumbs*
Can't wait to see how this plays out, I'll be sure to jump back on when this comes out.
Who knows, maybe some oldies will come outta the woodwork aswell *cough*furynator*coughcoughcough*
@Distraptre
The Swarm can infect almost all the classes of monster; Beast, Construct, Slime, Undead... Heck, even Gremlins (though no Swarm Fiends though, but heaven knows we don't need Swarm Devilites and Gorgos on top of all this), so there's nothing stopping it from infecting Knights. It might've even got Rulen, as the final Recon Module mentions the 'darkness consuming him' but Grantz freeing him before it got too bad.
And Aphrodite, please don't starve the other devs of their cookies. If you have to, maybe 'shorten the supply' for anyone who might be working on Swarm fiends. Just saying. *shivers*
I knew it! But the devs can't work on an empty stomach right? I'm not gonna send you cookies anymore.

Extra cookies have been left for the devs by the cookie fairy.
Aphrodite being epic as usual ;P
Thank god my finals are over, or I wouldnt be able to get back into this
I do hear the sound of an Almirian not proudly carrying his Spear of Almire.
All the fire in the second picture, sure hope the lag will be somewhere in a dark corner when there.\
(maybe we can lure it to it with some of the cookies the devs have :D)
I've only followed the story a little bit, but all this news of the swarm and core and everything, especially the new pictures released... it has a similar feeling to FF8's Time Compression.
"Torin! http://media.spiralknights.com/wiki-images/7/72/Scenario_Room-Graveyard_..."
Illuminati confirmed.
Torin's spirit walks again? And it thinks it's still in Almire, much the way Vana did?
And for a fiery pit, that 2nd pic has a lot of water. Do you think we might need it?
That second pic is just Vana, except for that there is... well, no Vana.
Torin seems awesome. But he was dead?
NECROMANCERS CONFIRMED! Outcome: all enemies who you have ever killed will suddenly arise from their graves and attack you all at once. You die.
I rate Aphrodite as one of the best admins I've ever seen....
As long as no more bugs n such come up, we'll be fine. To add to this, it is the final day before the swarm consumes us all. Spend your last hours wisely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjXutKsizE8
Anyone notice the Shoulder Booster.......................
In the second image posted by the ADMIN Aphrodite
:_; want one
We don't have many updates,
but I still try to play them all.
So I'm onboard the Hype Train.
Choo choo.
Ultimate Plot Twist: It's just Swarm Prize Boxes. I would cri.
@Blaizeus That would be kinda unexpected. Even though a lot of people would love to dress up like a Void Zombie, or to wield an Overcharged Voidmaster.
But it's gonna happen. Even Aphrodite's notorious Cookie Monster powers couldn't stop it.
So maybe I just haven't memorized every square inch of FSC, but is that room with Torin a new room? I don't recognize it, even if I imagine the whole thing on fire.
I might be crazy, but I believe that's the final arena before the elevator to vana. It has two entrances from the branching paths. I can't be sure though.
*Edit: I meant the area after the two splitting paths in Depth 26. Not before vana. Ignore that.
I don't think it's that. If you look at a previous teaser, this one, it looks like that is the room it leads to. Which is both not the Bridge room and not any other FSC room.
I think we'll be seeing the update tomorrow or Friday, I would've been happy if it was today, though.
So wait, update me. Haven't played in a year or so. Are we getting a really big update this week? (Related to Core and Swarm.)
Blimey, Redd's opened quite a can of worms, hasn't he? But as
a) I'm super hyped too
and
b) I've got nothing better to do with my time
I might as well suggest a few theories. First of all, I think we may run into Herex again, as the recon module in Crimson Chaos left by everyone's favourite ninja Gremlin mentions him 'descending', and then of course there's that artifact slot that Redd mentioned in Firestorm Citadel, which has now been almost entirely redecorated by the Sprites that spend most of their time wandering around exchanging nods with the Slag Walkers as they tear Sparks out of ya. It's almost as if the Core knows that the Swarm and Herex are making a move, and is preparing itself for assault from something other than the Knights, with all those fancy spinny ball things and the ol wheel launchers.
Bottom line is that the Knights may not have to open the Core themselves. Herex n co may do it for them, but whether or not that's a good thing is debatable. And then we might even see a few familiar faces...
I've gone on again, haven't I? Dangit. Still super hyped though. I'm off to stock up on sparks.
EDIT: fixed the typos, thanks Vohtarak! (Flipping auto-correct) Still, Ninjas were posties, but that topic's for the Gremlin Chatter.
