With one hand you gave us that and with the other you took the fun away by bringing up the forge system.

Personally I enjoy farming through the arcade to find fire crystals. If it's boring, maybe you should try different levels instead of continuously doing something like DaN. Maybe it's less efficient, but it's more fun and less repetitive.

Tell me OOO, do you know that it takes around one month to level up a 5* gear?

You are not here to become the most powerful. You're here to have fun. If leveling up equipment isn't fun, don't make that your main goal. If there's nothing else to do, and nothing is fun anymore here, just move on to another game.

The PvP is broken, the PvE is boring, the missions are repetitve as hell, the story is just not there, the sprites are ridiculously underpowered.

I can't comment on PvP.

PvE might be less boring if you try mixing up the levels you play. Or, if it's still boring, move on to another game.

I actually agree on the missions, most should be redone to be better and different - Like the new Vanguard missions, those are unique and fun. (Unless you start doing nothing but farming DaN. Then DaN starts to become boring.)

The story... I disagree on that, though it could use improvements in some places.

I also do agree on the sprites.

I'm here to remind you that grinding one level that takes 40-50mins all day long is not fun.

Which is why you shouldn't, and instead play levels other than Vana, DaN, or whatever other thing you're repeating. Play a run in the arcade (on a gate that doesn't include Vana). Do some Vanguard missions you don't do often, maybe BitR or Crimson Chaos.

If you want to have "fun", you pay. Fun meaning not spend one month to lvl a piece of gear.

I'm just repeating the exact same points over and over here. You're NOT here to max all your gear. You're here to have fun. Mix up your levels, even if it gives less Fire Crystals. Maybe change your control layout. No matter what you do, you're still tired and not having any fun? Nobody's forcing you to play! Go find something else to play that you actually still find enjoyment in.

"How could you reasonably expect any game, ever to supply you through content only over 2000 hours of original play time?"

It is kinda funny, how pretty much all of the bad reviews have over 4k hrs played. I'd like to note that many internet users express symptoms of grandiose delusions (particularly those related to Truman Syndrome).

How can a lvl 100 dragon, the offensive pet, not be able to kill one enemy, stationary enemy, in end game? HOW?

For a person who played 2000 hours, knowing OOO and their talent at balancing (*coughs* RSS), what did you really expect? I already predicted this when sprites were first announced, they are simply the icing on the cake, the sweet sugar that melts on your mouth in mere seconds and that was it.

I'm here to remind people to not spend any more money in this steaming pile of sH!t.

SK is a good game, OOO is a neglectful company, know the difference. Spend money only if OOO gives a crap about SK.

I'm here becose of you. I'm your conscience.

You are not, you are simply the devil on my left shoulder. Oh look, Fangel is on the other side, hi there Fangel!

You are an internet user too, you know? No point in 'pot calling the kettle black'.

Inb4 thread gets locked

I am honestly not sure if any game exists that can supply over 5k hours of entertainment. Skyrim? Minecraft? Tetris? No clue

This guy must be a troll. Posting in multiple sections.
What's gonna happen once you are maxed? You quit? You do LD?

It only makes sense, for players to come on and say these things when the developers haven't been employed on SK for some time which in turn leads to the idea of 'lets just let the game die while making phone games, they don't like it'.

What gets us what we want, i.e. more Spiral Knights, is the opposite reaction- gee whiz, that Spiral Knights sure is incredible. Best go buy us some prize boxes to support those devs. MMMM HMMM. All those devs out there, designing that update that's right around the corner.

Then, when all of the phone games fail or take off since they did manage to buy an actual phone game producer this time, they'll stand back and say wow, those Spiral Knights sure are going strong and after so much neglect.. And then maybe they'll hire someone. Maybe even one of us, to continue on making the Spiral Knights. It's a long shot to be sure, but boycotting them certainly hasn't been working and cursing at them is only going to get your post censored- a small PR disaster that could have been prevented by yourself.

@Posts

Quit beating up the OP, you guys do this every time and you need to be better than that regardless of whether it's something you'll be banned or hassled for by the GM or the forum guidelines post. Just because you're right doesn't mean you're not wrong; I've learned that the hard way too many times.

You know, normally I do just ignore these sort of cases Six-From-Syrup. However, if one takes the time to make not one but many, many, many, many, many, many threads, then I feel the need to weigh in personally.

@Traevelliath

You're right but also very wrong. The OP has no idea what they're doing- they made a repetitive topic, posted it in every sub forum and used foul language in all of it- they couldn't have gotten a bigger flame war + warning/censor if they submitted a support ticket asking for it.

Ignoring these topics forces the idea that this is how people see SK- as a dead game, but posting hate comments just makes the community look bad on the whole. Assuming that you haven't been hurt to the point that these are the things you're striving to accomplish, a better technique would be to calmly discuss the issue with the OP, give them credit, and stay positive. Why stay positive? The humans love that for what reason I'll never know.

@Six-From-Syrup

While I like the idea of having a calmer and more positive discussion on this topic, it's a discussion we've already had dozens of times before with people who brought up the idea in a calmer fashion. These sort of posts don't add any insights on an already dead horse. At best they just prompt either a defense we've seen before, a discussion we've already discussed, or a discussion about people discussing a discussion we've already discussed.

Admittedly, I don't think the SK community is one that responds to a rage post with calm discussion. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a community respond like that. It's perfectly natural to defend something you like, even if that thing has flaws.

No reason for me to take this post even half-seriously (e.g. asking OP if they had tried using the Drakon with a Cutter).
