Lag issues resolved

More mewkats on sale.

Nothing, i dont have expectation for this game anymore since 2014.

I'm looking forward to:
Fun times with guildies and friends! ^.^
(Why am I the only one looking forward to this thus far?)

I'm hoping for:

Tailcoat rear accessories.
(Me sea legs be rather breezy without them "dusters".)

More water in the Clockworks.
(The lack of water on Cradle is rather unnerving to the forever thirsty.)

SAND in the Clockworks.
(Why are there beach costumes when there are no beaches?)

That's not to say I wouldn't like a mobile game. However, I'm almost certain that Rise was a failed marketing ploy by sega, and not Three Rings, as sega's the one who wants to go full-on mobile gaming.

I want any future mobile spinoff for Spiral Knights to be entirely Three Rings' decision, and not a sega cashgrab.

yes pls.
I'm pretty excited for OOO's potential usage of that particular skybox. Would probably require a very oddly coded flooring though.

Three Rings' dev team is comprised of people that work for Three Rings. Unless they come out and say that it's been incorporated into SEGA entirely, I'm not gonna call it such.

My main point was that, assuming OOO is a separate body, I want any future mobile games to be designed by them, on their terms. Otherwise it's unfair.

You haven't checked the company linkedin or employee twitter accounts then. The OOO employees seem to report under Sega Networks now, as OOO got merged into it. OOO appears to only be in name, and I doubt anyone from the company is going to openly say it on forums here, as it'd be bad pr. As long as they don't admit it themselves, people will keep denying it, even if easy google searches show you what actually happened. I actually almost care enough to submit a bug report saying the copyright should be changed to say Sega Networks instead of OOO.

GMs are free to correct me if I'm wrong though by responding to this comment, which I know they'll see.

@tenderfoot, The Consumed skybox. pretty much the go-to for a lot of spiralspy fanart i've seen
@petater, As long as the devs are listed under the Three Rings employee list on the wiki I'm calling them such. Besides, SEGA doesn't really seem to care much about SK in the first place, so I won't really count it as a part of SK unless they do something that'll actually help the franchise. i.e. not making the Three Rings devs create a phone game and then terminating it before it gets out of beta.

GMs aren't necessarily required to answer forum questions. That last comment seems like more of an entitled-sounding challenge than anything else.

Three Rings is still the offbranch of sega networks, so even though it probably is an incorporation, there's nothing wrong I can see with calling them Three Rings staff.
And my statement about SEGA still stands: I don't think SEGA networks sees OOO as anything but a cash-grabbing machine; if they did care they'd step in and help instead of terminating an app that looked like considerable work had been put into it.

It may be their job to regulate the community, but there are many, many people who ask for a GM to respond to their posts and don't get a reply back. That's why, if you actually want a GM response you email them instead of challenging them on the forums.

KOd knights given Exed or Spiral eyes that turn back to their personal eyes once they revive or exit the level
You have no idea how much I want to be able to be able to set various eyes depending on the situation. I can see it being a high-graphics only thing if need be, but cosmetic-wise it'll get people buying more eye shapes to put onto different scenarios (ie, you choose when they show up, and by default all eyes are set to whatever you choose at creation with "blink" being "closed eyes")

For example, I might want "normal eyes" by default, "squinty eyes" for blink, "vacant eyes" for being downed, "dot eyes" for taking damage, etc.

I would think there could be options for the following:

• default
• blink
• downed
• damage received
• boss defeated (eyes remain this way until end of the mission, changing after elevator
• sitting/laying down
• busy (counting animation)
• inflicted (under a status effect)
• boosted (under a buff of any sort)
• friendly (when doing a /wave animation or various other commands, such as /joy, /flirt, /laugh)
• unfriendly (when doing various commands, such as /rude, /fail)
• feeling down (when doing various commands, such as /sad, /cry)

... and I'm gonna stop myself before I go much further, but in general having more dynamic eyes would be a wonderful addition, despite us not seeing our eyes too often. My thoughts are that the "default" eye type would be everything at first, and outside of "blink", everything would be labeled "same as default". When you choose to change your default eyes, all others change along with it. If you change just, say, the "downed" one, then it would no longer be labeled as "same as default", and thus not be overwritten by changing the default eyes.

I would say that a change like this would prompt a larger need for more eye shapes. Some examples of eye shapes I can imagine would be "shy" (similar to sad eyes in appearance), "derp" (similar to dot or vacant eyes, but further from the center), "intrigued" (pretty much just huge eyes), "embarrassed" (similar to cheeky eyes), "disappointed" (upside-down happy eyes), "flattered" (similar to happy, potentially added "prismatic blush". If that goes through that opens up a lot of opportunities for more eye shapes), and probably more but I'm stopping myself again because this ain't the suggestions forum and I don't need to write a wall of text over here.

It does affect how others decide whether or not they are going to spend on the game. Trouble in management would probably cause consumers to value supporting said company less.

I like the scenario eyes. The defaults could be your regular eye modifiers, though, as tbh i'm not fond of the actual "default" eyes.
Star for stunned, Exed for KO, closed for blink, Snowflake for Frozen...endless possibilities

"It does affect how others decide whether or not they are going to spend on the game."
Whether or not people are spending money on the game does not affect the player negatively gameplay-wise. You can argue energy market, but that's one path to take when there are several. The only thing a lack of money will do is shut down the game, but as long as loyal players are spending money, newer players spend a few bucks, or whales are throwing everything at promos, that won't be happening soon.

And back to the eye scenario stuff, yeah, the possibilities really are endless. The things I want most covered is default, blink, downed, sit/sleep/laying down, and damage taken. Others are just icing on the cake!

holy moley eury looks almost identical to my mother in that profile picture. Red glasses, droopy sunhat and all. Gonna have to call her and make sure she isn't living some secret double life in the midwest without me.

But yeah, Three Rings is a part of SEGA Networks. That doesn't change any of my thoughts whatsoever. In my mind it's similar to a publisher buying up game studios and then making games under the studio's name still. Three Rings is still their own "team", but is also part of a larger company.

Developers Giving this game the attention it deserves and reading and listening to the community for once in the last couple years, they have a great deal of ROI to be made from this game. I know people who spent $45,000-$60,000-$75,000 on this game, and while not every player will spend that much on average, it's obvious to me this game has potential. since 2013, I have not seen another preview server access for upcoming content, that really catered us, and it was nice to talk to the developers and ask them questions and get to know them more, and now they leave us in the silence never trying to excite us anymore, it's like losing a best friend, or having one suddenly stop talking to you after interacting and helping you along the way. I don't know why nick left. last time i ever saw him was in the first ever prize box dark festival in 2012, and after that no more, and he was even giving away a few things to players as a trick or treat, I haven't needed any assistance from the GM's but I'm seeing more violators and no Bans happening. I'm not mad at the Spiral knights team, i just wish they would at least update us on whats going on in the studio, and this doesn't have to be pre released sensitive content for the game, just tell us how the teams doing or give us updates that don't have to do with prize boxes and small patches, i even remember receiving a spiral mail a while back telling me we reached over 1 million active players, what im seeing in this thread are amazing and fair ideas, this remainder of the playerbase is smart and dedicated to this game, they wouldn't be here if they didn't care, I had goosebumps from that southern haven opening idea and exploring cradle, and that alone... would give us so many reasons to play this game, they would make endless new regions for us to explore, I wish i could the waterfalls you see when you make a new alt on the crash site, cradle is and can be a beautiful planet, we don't have to just be in haven, expanding this game and even giving side quests and missions alone is enough for me personally, it doesn't have to be story progression, and of course we all know they still have content to release, its there but coming slowly, ive seen things with my own eyes peeking at the preview server client files.

Perhaps they have a small dev team or are busy on something else, whatever it could be, i wish they would come back and hear our questions or tell us how they're doing. We will just have to wait and see what fate holds for the future of cradle and everything it stands for.

When I started it I was just being honest. In other games, I have something to look forward to because new content comes out regularly.

TF2? Well they just made a balance patch and they have new weapons/maps fairly often.
Binding of Isaac? New expansion, items, levels, etc.
XCOM? XCOM 2 is coming up. It took them a while but it's a different type of game altogether.
Puzzle and Dragons? New content weekly and if not then events, since it's a tiny game.

Spiral Knights? Well the best explanation is that they're off making phone games. Am I interested in their phone games? Absolutely not, unless it connects with Spiral Knights in which case I'll use it forever and possibly pay some into it or unless it expands upon Spiral Knight's story in which case I'll give it a go and then drop it, zero dollars paid.

If they want to announce something, or hint at something, or produce something then I'd love to look forward to it, but until then it's rather hard to look forward to nothing. They've done a lot of things right- the new xmas danger rooms were excellent- so don't get me wrong. I'm just trying to be realistic.

elite orbs are always difficult. I recommend finding two then buying the third from auction.
Oh, and don't forget to play on elite for the best chances of finding one. Built to Destroy and Sovereign Slime are go-to elite orb farms, but deep tier 2 and the starting of tier 3 arcade work as well.
