Seems to be some confusion about this!

Seems to be some confusion about this!
the art in the home page had a new suit and mask, so i asked. No more confusion left.
That "new" suit appeared to merely be a Fencing Jacket... I use one as costume armor often, its a good one for 150 crowns.
This is pretty exciting stuff. Seems there isn't any Steam overlay though which is unfortunate. But possibility of having more friends to ply with is awesome.
So how about linking your existing SK account to Steam? Seems you can only log in via Sega Pass or Facebook. I don't mind starting again with my Steam account but alas, the usual account limits per computer thing OOO has going on.
Yeah, I know you're not confused.
This guy on the Steam forums is confused.
"From the sound of the official forum, they aren't working at all towards integration. All the admin has said is that "It's just a mask" to the cries of everyone wanting integration. "
Been playing the Steam version because there's a TF2 hat to unlock from SK. Damn you, OOO.
SK has full steam voice integration though, which is really nice. Well, nice with friends, not with 8 year olds who don't know that their mic is on. Might drop using mumble if I can link my existing account...
There's a TF2 hat? I don't think I've seen anything about that.
People's obsession with hats always reminds me of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2QJvc_SxFQ
There's a TF2 hat? I don't think I've seen anything about that.
Apparently there is. I see a note about it in today's release notes on Steam.
I didn't think so either until I saw some new patch notes over on the TF2 wiki http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/June_14,_2011_Patch
Also, since this is my first post in this thread it is obligatory for me to complain about being able to merge accounts not being sorted beforehand.
They should have done it beforehand.
Now that that is out of the way, I'd like to say I'm looking forward to having it integrated into steam. It'll make it easier for me to convince other friends to play since they've been stubborn thus far (Even the die hard MacHall/TPS fans :o )
@Eurydice
Good news, now we can join in the excitement.
Is there a way to link Sega Pass with a standalone Spiral Knights account?
Problem solved. Though I was going to say it really wasn't that big deal for me since we've all got unfair advantages over the steam people
I mean not only did we have the advantages of starting earlier (lower prices and such) but we've had our own shots at exclusive things, beta players got the groundbreaker stuff, main players got the shot at Rose Regalia, things those steamers can never get (well maybe RR). So for Steamers to get their own thing, I wasn't going to complain, but nice to see we still get to take more stuff for ourselves :D
[will probably not play on Steam for a long time anyway]
the question thats been asked 100 times in 164 posts.
IS THE HAT TRADABLE?
While I'm happy to hear that SK and Steam accounts will be linkable next week, what do we need to do in order to get the steam bonus items on our normal SK accounts?
machallboyd, you are right, that comment got a lot of confusion. I might even recommend Nick edit the post to say "There is only a mask." As silly as it sounds, it being on the top of the next page puts it completely out of context.
I for one welcome our new, steamy overlords. Voice chat, hopefully overlay chat with other Steam friends eventually, all that jazz.
I do hope the eventual account merge will be friendly to those that manage multiple paid accounts. Three characters is not enough, and then there's the ME issue...
Oops, sorry!

Thanks,letting me know that I just don't deserve playing this game on steam.
Am I too late to dump on Magnus and his tinfoil-hat wearing friends?
I don't think you are, but if you do you might be early for a ban lol.
I would like to clarify that Helm is tradable or not but I've got no friends on Steam =/
Anyone who wants to add me, so I can clear that 5 invite
and maybe prove that the helm is tradable or not
let me invite you via the friend invite on
steamcommunity.com/id/Syor
or you can whisper me in game with your current account, IGN: Syor, if you can't add friends for your new account.
So all the ranting from [names redacted] about how this was all 3R's Evil Plan to steal our money turned out to be nothing more than hate-fueled paranoid delusion? Color me (un)surprised.
@3R: Thanks guys for the news on account linkage. I look forward to being able to play SK on Steam!
Huh, Spiral Knights isn't installed on Steam for me anymore...that's strange.
What If I already created an account on my steam? Can I delete it? or do they merge into one account?
Looks like energy price has dropped for the first time since THE patch, my amateur market analysis was accurate.
Huh, Spiral Knights isn't installed on Steam for me anymore...that's strange.
There was a strange problem. Restart Steam, it will be back now.
Can't wait to get my hands on that promotional helm.
I, for one, await our new Hat Knights 2.
Omg...this is bad so this week I was like yay I will just relax not spend that much cash and such....then I get steam and realize their are many games to buy for my mac which are not listed in the mac store....so now I may just end up buying a few of them which means less time for Sk this is so evbil...WTF evil steam lol
Welcome to Steam
Bye bye moneys
Combining accounts + continual Steam helmet promotion = YAEEY
I feel better now. Except I've seen that SK helmet in the TF2 wiki and I WANT IT. Let's hope that's NOT limited time, either.
I don't get it, there are 2 different hats now? Can you link me to both of them?
I also noted that there are 27 english havens now, and 20 are currently full, so I guess this steam thing does indeed work.
There are two promotional hats, however only one of which is for Spiral Knights, the other is for the game, ''Team Fortress 2''.
Spiral promotional hat: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Steam_Knight_Mask
Team Fortress 2 promotional hat: http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Spiral_Sallet
Since i get the "You cannot create any more free accounts from this computer" and all support pages are blank for me its gonna be impossible for me to get the TF2 hat till the linking of accounts is implemented? That sucks. Really want that TF2 hat.
There's a TF hat.
There's a picture of a soldier wearing it at http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Spiral_Sallet. It's a very poor fit on him and the poor guy looks lost and uncomfortable.
Yeah, I know, the Soldier's default helmet doesn't fit either.
I've never had any use for Steam. Which just makes this Event Mask even more lame to me. I mean it IS cool, and I DO want it. But because I don't have any games on Steam I can't add any friends and therefore can't do a thing to get this. And what's worse, any game on Steam I might want, I already have. >.< So this is what I get for spending $80 to help OOO out. A cool event helm comes out and I have no hope of ever getting it. Thanks OOO.
Sorry, just a little upset.
Why isn't there an official update announcement, by the way? I mean
OH YEA, MINI MIST TANKS WE FORGOT!
Isn't the best way to go about this kind of thing. Oh and the free, real mist tank.
@Djinnkaid, well it's less than ideal for you, but you can still befriend 5 people on this forum. Heck, you could probably start a thread where you all help each other "farm" for the hat by inviting each other. A little coalition, a little club. Not a guild, just an agreement to invite each other. That is, if you wait a week for them to bind the accounts together.
Sorry you never got into Steam. I love it, and its early days of being a buggy mess are behind it. So many uses for Steam, what would I do without you... I really like that little valve on the event helm. Oh, you guys.
I am still wondering what the hell steam is..and Jesus people love to complain about this game. If your going to complain about buying energy with real money..just remember you can always play the game for free.
They really need to make these forums like the PP forums. We need avatars, post counts, signatures.
Pleasant surprise to find a free Mist Tank just for logging in today. Still haven't signed-up for Steam yet. Might try it later today.
@Codemister13: Steam is essentially an online game store - kind of like iTunes for games, but a lot more involved, with achievements and social play tools. It's run by Valve, who make some pretty neat games as well.
At least you can log in to your existing account, just hope they get the integration soon. Like many others I'd really rather not start over to get the benefit of playing through Steam.
"An error was encountered while processing your request: This item is currently unavailable in your region."
So, when can I expect this "item" to be available in my region? I should hope Australia, New Zealand, the Phillipines, and other Oceanic countries can at least get their games.
For clarification, I live in Taiwan.
God damn it that thing source sdk 2006,im triyng to get it BUT you know what
-STEAM SERVERS TOO BUSY TO HANDLE MY REQUEST!!!GRRR
anybody? solution on how to get source sdk 2006?
You can always play the game outside of the steam enviroment. Just create an account and download the client.
We have the same join date, so naturally that'd mean we've played close to the same amount of time.
I am aware that there is a game that I can download outside of Steam.
The new hat caught my attention and I wanted to see it in-game, but apparently my region does not support Spiral Knights. Not only does that mean my main account is excluded, but that the entire island of Taiwan is excluded from this promotion.
I understand that there will be a fix for the promotion to combine Steam and normal accounts, but unless if Spiral Knights is released in my area, I will never be able to enjoy the benefits of it. As you can probably see, that concerns me and I'd like to know if something will be done about it.
I'm curious as to what other games are region-locked over Steam. Is this a widespread problem? I know my German friend was able to play an American version of Left 4 Dead via gifting (so that the blood was uncensored, though it DID autodetect the German language settings); is it possible that maybe someone can "buy" Spiral Knights for free and then gift it to you?
Haha, I'm not sure if I should feel really happy that you partenered with steam (because that's awesome) or feel betrayed that we can't link our current accounts. I guess I'll go with happy and hope you are able to work on the linking accounts issue. This should get a whole new gaming community for spiral knights (and steam if we are later able to link are accounts).
I also personally love how the new mask looks, I have always been a fan of the gask mask look for characters.
So thanks OOO for an awesome decision on partnership choice and please work hard to benefit older players with this as well.
