I feel that Spiral Knights should actually revert to the old heating way. The forging system, from information I collected with new and old players, is terrible. Yes it does make it challenging but forging literally does not make the game fun at all. Listen to your players please, this game is dead because you guys don't listen to your players at all. Focus on balancing the game, making it enjoyable, etc. This game has so much potential man, make it enjoyable for new and old players that's it.
I am afraid this one will fall on devs deaf ear, just as always.
There was much talk and debate about forging system and just as many complaints about it, but in the end nothing changes.
The forge system is supposed to keep players for longer time in the game, but in the end it just makes matters worse.
