so this is more of a question if that is coming to the devs and i hope i get a respond from one of them.

first of all i wonder if we get 2 new sprites (and not reskins i mean really new) cause moonstone and valestone are still useless since the removal of the mineral deposition.

second there was a t3 boss in development back in 2013. and i heard nothing about that since nick wrote that what's in development post and then left spiral knights cause of the money milking guys at sega. so did the idea got scraped? does somebody plan to work on that? was there even some idea already or was it just planed to bring a new boss without knowing yet what kind of boss it should be.

so before the next part i just want to say i have nothing against grey havens and they are way better then sega i think BUT:

all grey havens did was introducing stuff that was allready developed, just unreleased. the sleep armor and sleep bombs are probaly really new but the slime casino was already done just never introduced, it's even avaible in german language and they said support for german stops and they bring every new stuff just in english. even starlight cradle is written in german still. it just got more or less re introduced and well yeah just a few balance things that i bet weren't that hard to do. so basically they just release unreleased stuff and act like it is completly new. to be fair at least they try to look like they are doing something. and ofc price boxes all the time.... . ok to be fair the knight statues and the new weaps and armor are really new but aside from that :/.
now i know they are just a few persons and need longer. but is something in development like a new t3 boss which was in development 2013 and presumably dropped then. i see that grey havens really tries to bring stuff in but i don't really see any big new stuff just yeah these small bug fixes and sleep themed new stuff :I. i would like to get a what's in development post again maybe, so we at least know on what you guys at grey havens are working at or what we can expect . and even if people complained about the dlc... i thought we get more dlc's i don't understand them but yeah they just want free stuff anyways if they cry about being it behind a paywall that isn't really high (also you can buy it with ce since along time already) .

anyways i don't want to bash grey havens here, at least they try to do new things.

Some people have speculated that the new tier 3 boss was supposed to be Herex, who we do fight in a mission now.

Unless they meant a new tier 3 boss with an entire strata to go with it and rotate round the arcade. Nobody really knows.

Grey Havens have posted before to give an idea of whats to come, and that is: not much. They're doing the best they can but have a much smaller staff than three rings did. They're primarily here to keep the game up and running for now, with development potentially later on.

T3 boss...

If I recall correctly, then this post about a coming T3 boss was before the danger missions Ghost in the Machine and Heart of Ice were added. So I always linked that post to these two things (and to be honest, GitM is a really nice this. Too easy exploitable, but definitelly something awesome).

About the new sleep themed levels: when the mineral deposit was shut down, we already were able to see these levels for a day, yea, they are not new. The reason why these got taken out of rotation was because of sleep status, which Grey Haven fixed. And this was done by Grey Haven and not by anything related to sega. Actually that fix was suggested shortly after minreal deposit closed; if you want, just look it up. But the coding has been done by Grey Havens completelly. And an easy quick thing? Sorry, but did you ever code yourselfe...?

These updates may sound 'small' or 'minor' at first glance, but rethink about it: did Grey haven made one update that had an unintended impact which messed up the whole game like pre-GH? *coughcough chaos set coughcough*

It is one thing to just hammer updates into a game to give an impression that something is moving, even if these updates a bull crap. But if you release updates only once you thought about it, things take time. Exspecially with a low budge in a small team.

Also, how I understood it, the people from Grey havens don't live by what they get from SK. It seems SK it is morely an after-work thing.
Can someone confirm this?

But I agree to you with a thing: It would be nice to get a new Grey Haven post about upcoming things - even if it would take a year to get the code and graphics done that go along with it. Without ETA of course. Just a To-Do list thing.

Grey Havens is a legitimate company with a full range of employees. It just so happens they also have a small number of employees and two MMOs to manage and the creative cycle this far into a game's lifetime can be seemingly slower since things happen one at a time rather than in bundles and released periodically whenever completed.

I hope they touch up, finish

I hope they touch up, finish and bring back the Jelly Green Giant in the Aurora Isles - Jelly Farm level as at least a mid-boss kind of thing, maybe add a room after it with 7-8 red treasure boxes to make it worth it (I heard it was removed due to balance and "no proper loot" issues) once that's done basically all the removed content from the Closed Beta has returned (Thank god for Starlight Cradle) and they can focus on new stuff.Then at least we'd have a new boss to deal with, even if it's just another "RJ clone"
