Normally I don't make threads about this stuff, but I'm just a bit annoyed that I now have about 24 hours of anticipation and too many thoughts running through my head. Perhaps something to do with the new boss and such? Maybe something bigger?

Boooo Nick stop building my anticipation!

Possible options:Gremlins

Possible options:

  • Gremlins are getting spikes
  • Elevators now cost 20 CE
  • Every treasure box will be behind an energy gate now
  • New energy bonus: get a unique SEGA sticker for you armor or shield buying the 50 dollars CE package

Nah just kidding guys, I'm sure it'll be something awesome!

Don't get excited. No, really don't. Nothing that concerns you anyway.

Unless I am mistaken. But there are high chances I am right.

I'm guessing..

I'm guessing that it isn't something content or feature heavy given that they just released spiked jellies and seem to be on regular bi-weekly updates (I'm guessing sprint-based, like other dev teams).

I could be wrong, but it's probably something to do OUTSIDE of the experience we all live in. SK on consoles? Parternship with another company.. something like that.

Could be wrong, hope I am. Probably good for everyone, but not what everyone is expecting.

If I am right, it is not content-related.

Whatever it is, it's

Whatever it is, it's certainly not the last update or announcement we'll ever have. Let's not fall into the trap of imagining that if the Big Announcement tomorrow happens not to be the thing you crave, that thing will never happen. ;)

It's the gremlin merchants.

It's the gremlin merchants. Is it the gremlin merchants?
I hope it's the gremlin merchants. :V

I want to meet the gremlin merchants.

OR. Or, it's King Tinkinzar!

I'll just go out on a limb and say that SK will be available on Android phones! There's no reasoning or proof for this other than because I want it on my phone. Don't judge me.

Having Tortodrones again

Having Tortodrones again would be so much fun.
groaaaaan..... WHUMP!

The possibility of the Core opening? That would have me drooling. I've only been waiting nearly eight months now...

Yep, those are the Tortodrones. They were probably taken out because they were blowing too many minds...
Nah, I don't know why.

I miss them. :[

Yup, though I may add that

Yup, though I may add that those are even earlier Tortodrones. The ones last seen in game were quite a bit more aggressive. The had sudden lunge attacks that flung you and they spammed crystal missiles that shocked you.

More than a few green knights could be found on the underside of their feet.

I don't think anything is coming out tomorrow. Likely tomorrow is an announcement for happenings later in the week.

(though they have been polishing the Core for aaaaaages)

Announcing the impending announcement of intent to release new content...

If only I could pretend to threaten to suggest more ambiguity!

hopes not high

between mouton noir going on and on about how awesome its not, then Eurydice coming on just to say "if its not awesome dont worry, it doesn't mean awesome stuff won't happen later" --paraphrasing-- b/w those two....my hopes are not high. not high at all.

Yes, I have a link to Nick's twitter account in the first post, where he said:

Look out for a big Spiral Knights announcement tomorrow. Exciting stuff!

Game is no longer going to be

Game is no longer going to be free to play, will get rid of all those free to play complainers :P

In all seriousness this sounds like he is announcing something that hasn't been talked about yet, so either its something brand new, maybe expanding the game? Or possibly the Core is coming finally, and maybe its a hint of what to expect down there :)
