If not the first,at least one of the few who wanted to see axes on the game..
Instead of a promo i was waiting a cool update with it,with new stages and perhaps a new boss.
In the end we took another promo.I hope it will help the game at least,it doesnt matter what I want,if
it helps the game i am ok,they cant satisfy all players,I Just think that they could introduce it better
and renew the insterest of old players.They could add the weapons for all and make a promo with few extra weps-reskins and add
on top of them some costumes/armors too
Dissapointed..

Mate the last update
Mate the last update (Starlight Cradle) mainly reintroduced old content that had been removed with a few armours, bombs and swords (that no one will use since they aren't better at anything since they don't even inflict sleep).
The last content update before this was December 2014 with the gunner update
Then July 2013 with the battle sprites and missions
Before that you had the 2012 danger missions and then it was back into regular updates.
Our last real sized update was 2.5 years ago! I think its reasonable to say we are never going to get any new content ever again outside of cosmetics.

once again
The last content update before this was December 2014 with the gunner update.
You are forgetting the new rank missions (Dreams and Nightmares, etc.) that were released 2015-02-18 and 2015-05-13. I'm not saying that we get enough new content. But let's at least remember what little content we get. :)

It's finally come to the
It's finally come to the point where I don't on SK maybe every other week. The only new weapon content is for those who are lucky and fall for the paid gambling meme. It's not like they wanted us to have new things to craft or play with.
At this rate, hopefully, whoever that guy who keeps greenlighting promo only weapons will make it so their is more rare paid content in game than actual content itself. This stuff never even sees Supply Depot sales anyways.
WHERE'S THE CONTENT, CRONUS?
YOU CAN'T KEEP AVOIDING THESE QUESTIONS!

"YOU CAN'T KEEP AVOIDING THESE QUESTIONS!"
But they can, they literally just ignore everything on the forums and never tell us whats going on.
Okay the reply to 1/100 posts but they never tell us what they are actually working on or developing.

They put a lot of effort into the prize box, and I appreciate that.
As a paying player, I would much rather have to earn the items in the box rather than gamble for them, as well as have the items get unique stats, as well as have others get to earn them in a realistic fashion.
Perhaps the developers could come up with a payment scheme that better represents these desires?

I just love the astounding
I just love the astounding diversity in players on SK. It's really interesting how everyone complains about Energy prices and how there isn't any content other than cosmetics yet I haven't thought that way in years. I actually get upset when there aren't enough promos because after a week or so they get stale and difficult to make money off of. So for me, I'm stymied because of the fact that this promo is almost a month long. This is the longest promo we've ever had and it seems, on the first day, that things are already getting dry.
I for one am simply glad they didn't bring back Surge or give us another dreadful Gemstone promo.

looks like the community isn't a hivemind ;)
The gemstones promos were simply to "finish them off", and seeing how they started in July they get to end right before then. I'm glad they finished them off as I especially was excited for diamond.
I'm glad to see we have more cosmetic opportunities with promotional boxes. If you wanted an axe all these years, my main question is "how did you want it to work"?. A lot of the time I see people wanting something, but when they start talking about it they wanted it purely for the cosmetic purpose of "using an axe", rarely is it ever about "how there should be a new weapon style that would be super cool to use and be different from other weapons".
In the meantime, the new looks on old weapon styles does work. It makes players want to use these weapons since they are the "meta" weapons - we even got a swiftstrike reskin, one of the only promotional items from a box that isn't 5*. Why? Because it's one of the most frequently used shields. I'm glad that the promotional items are starting to branch out to places where they'll see actual use in the game, but at the same time I'd love to see more weapon variation in promo reskins - acheron, iron slug, alchemers, vortexes, heck even a fang of vog would be cool.
I'm looking forward to any further content update, but this promo actually has done a lot of things right - the costumes are new and pretty easy to get, the accessories are a rather long list of new unique items, the weapons and the shield look great and are frequently used weapons, and the shield even has a unique (cosmetic) shield bash with a phantom trojan moving with you! Overall, pretty great promo.

You probably wished it was so everyone can agree with you
@Bopp
But let's at least remember what little content we get. :)
Scrapping bottom of the barrel. *tsk* *tsk* *tsk* Considering that it has been two years, I think we might as well have forgotten about it. Which is a shame since some of the new missions were fun and well designed, too bad not fun enough to justify grinding them, except DaN of course.
@Fangel
Why? Because it's one of the most frequently used shields. I'm glad that the promotional items are starting to branch out to places where they'll see actual use in the game,
Even though it is very likely that most P2P players would already have those weapons ergo making purchasing the same weapons with a different skin worthless? You have to be pretty vain to buy the same weapon twice, at a much higher asking price no less.

@Fangel we had a whole topic
@Fangel we had a whole topic about axes and spears too.So ur comment is false.If you think a game can live only from p2players or the opposite(f2players) then what i can say..It needs balance,promos and new content in order the promo to be successfull beyond those few who would buy eitherway.If a company makes only promo and not serious update on the content,then it clearly milks the game until it dies.Even if the the previous update with the sleep was small and sth that they worked in the past i believe it was a good move.Update +promo thats the correct way in my humble oppinion that things should work.
I would have liked it better if they released the third troika and had the squall caller be a reskin of it... I liked crafting the sleep bomb because it had me go back hunting for materials. I wish they'd release more new craftables that require new materials, so people have to go out of their way to craft them and we'd get new weapons to play around with. Just seems like a missed opportunity since the reskin (lightning hammer) was so fitting for the shock troika's charge attack.
