Hello new Grey Havens members!!!
As everyone on the forum now knows, Grey Havens has taken over control of Spiral Knights. This is good because the old devs weren't doing that well in the category of new content. In this forum, Grey Havens people, there are some suggestions, mine and others that we all feel like you could work on and help making this game awesome! Thanks!

-Let's start with the forging system, all of us agree that the old way of forging was better, basically you didn't have to use fire crystals. Something you could improve with the forging is making it easier to find the crystals, (ESPECIALLY the radiants) or just take it back to the old way of forging items.
-Alchemy orbs are actually easier than the old way of crafting items so I would advise that you keep that
-BATTLE SPRITES!!! Cmon, we need a jelly one and a mewkat one that use the other crystals so that they don't just gather dust in our inventory. We also need their abilities to become more powerful because there is a battle Sprite that could be amazing but is very underpowered... (Cough cough DRAKON excuse me... ;-;) Overall, battle sprites could be greatly improved by you guys.
-Haven and the arcade could also be improved greatly. There needs to be a night in Haven where fireflies flit around and there are snipe-owls and the arcade needs to be where you deposit your minerals, (yes, we need to bring that back) and where you do your missions. Hopefully, this will encourage more people to go to the arcade.
-We also need new weapons like the chainsnipe cannon which is probably the coolest thing that i have heard of. Kudos to Rodent-Queen for that idea. We need a sword like a trident and a gun that shoots mobs as well. Or at least I think we do.
-Energy system is fine, don't change that.
-We need more missions for each rank and the mobs need to lock on to you when they attack in tier 3 and therefore, tier 3 needs to pay very well.
-Add a tier 4 where only the insane pros go.
- MORE BOSSES like a zombie boss, a fiend boss, and a lizard boss. That would make the game way more interesting.
-Accessories like bow ties and ties would be very cool.
-Mobs like snakes, Sharks, and even an underwater-themed clockworks tunnel complete with algae and fish would be sweet.

I will post if I have any more ideas, and I really hope an admin visits this because I have spent a long time brainstorming this because I care about this game and I want it to be really awesome. Final advice for the devs, if you could advertise the game and make it known to people that would be great!

Hmm.

Let me take a few of these apart.

-FORGING
Forging is fine as a system, pretty meh in execution. Radiant fire crystals are the only problematic fire crystal, and as such, should have a way to get them easier without as large of a time investment.
My answer to the problem with the forge is including 5-10 rank-appropriate fire crystals for completing the daily prestige mission, and 15-30 for completing the daily danger mission.

-BATTLE SPRITES
Mewkat is already evident is a seraphynx. More battle sprite types would be amazing, however they need to allow players to augment their playstyles more. Battle sprites aren't really weak as is, however they can't be used as a primary weapon like people want to use them as.
The biggest change to battle sprites I'd like to see would be more impactful ultimate skills so there isn't ever a "correct" ultimate to use.

-OVERWORLD
Haven and the arcade are fine in appearance. Having more areas to just hang around in (i.e., an open field past the bazaar with no real purpose) would be wonderful. Aesthetics such as night time would be alright as well, but should be more of a "one day a week, haven looks like this" sort of thing. You could also make something special happen on those days to make them fun.

Mineral deposits would be nice, however donating them to geo knights for random prizes (UV tickets, forge prize boxes, rarities) might be even more fun and encourage picking up the biggest mineral, just like the old days.

-WEAPONS
New weapons are always a plus, however we need craftable ways to get these items. Reskins are fine, but prize box-exclusive weapons are not fun.

-CLOCKWORKS
No, we do not need more missions per rank. We do however need to pace out the rank missions. My suggestion for this is to make rank missions not unlock the next set of rank missions until you have completed X amount of non-rank depths. This number would increase as you went up in the ranks, and would make players encouraged to run arcade and prestige missions rather than just do the rank missions and get frustrated with the grind walls.

A tier 4 would be bad. Two new star levels, recipe and orb costs, monster AI increase, splitting up the lockdown community more, etc. It would throw off the nice numbers we have (3 tiers, 5 star levels) while also being far too much work for being something that's just "where only the insane pros go". More difficult content is a-okay though.

-MONSTERS
More bosses is alright, but what would really be nice would be minibosses that can show up in various clockworks levels in the arcade, making players seek out and hunt these things for their challenge.

More mobs also would be nice, and can really be seen anywhere. More things to fight is always welcome.

-COSTUMES
Bow ties and ties would be a wonderful accessory addition. I can see something like this being added in a fiend-themed promotion - office wear for everyone!
