...are amazing. Both challenging and awesome looking, exploring these new depths is going to be lots of fun. To your development team, I say thanks and great job! I love the art style in this game, so kudos on that as well!
Particularly my favorite enemy is that new *SPOILER*Mechazombie*SPOILER*. Requires some working around to be able to defeat, and that is alot of fun rather than just a straight charge and kill!
Wow, looks like my thread was a little early this time.
The new floor designs are even better. Nerfing all the weapons fails in a big way. Just after the release I went to tier 2 to check things out and quit at depth 14 because I wasn't going to revive a 5th time. I joined a friend again at tier2 and we quit at depth 21, again to costly to continue for the same crowns and useless materials we were getting. Before the update I could solo any floor starting at tier3 and make it to the core reviving 2 times at most. There needs to be a medium here or this is no longer any fun. I'll check back in a day or 2 and see if things change but if this is the new designe...
Huh. Well, even though it was difficult, myself and 2 others made it through Tier 2 fairly smoothly. We only had to use CE to revive a couple times. I enjoyed it though...
I wanna know how they got the zombies to mate with the mechaknights.
I like it ' lot, tier2 is awesome, tier3 is quite hard but if haz good party it goes, havent tried Vanaduke yet though, Jelly King feels lot harder now :( And I just wonder how does newbies make it at tier1, if blackhawk does 2-10dmg, silversix 1-13dmg, avenger only +20dmg / hit. But yeah, like it alot, I personally like most Ice Passage with Zombies! ^ ^ bit challenging, greedy & designing.
The new dungeons and monsters are cool and all, but damn. With my mixed 4-5* gear, I can barely make it through. The nerfing to the weapons and buffing to mobs hasn't made it any more fun, it's just made it take forever to kill one monster. Also my brand new WHB has been made pretty much useless :/ Switching back to Winmillion gives me more DPS on everything, even beasts.
I really like the new levels, however they are really hard. Yesterday I played with Sarcusa, and I died a lot, we finally managed to win the run, and it was lots of fun though.
There is one TERRIBLE THING to mention. While playing one arena, 4 healers spawned. They were IMPOSSSIBLE to kill, since it seems their healing abilities got buffed somehow.
I died and then Sarc came with a poison sword and even then it took forever to kill the healers. Really, beating an arena without poison seems like an impossible task now.
Yea, i got like 3 healers at time in ice arena,they do high dmg, + they heal themselves all the time. It IS really hard to kill them, when they do the shield thing and when they can revive each other.
Oh man, I got a glimpse at the Freeze-type devilite yesterday, then a closer look today. At first I thought it was wearing a surgical mask because it had a cold, which would have been great. The scarf and earmuffs are still cute too.
Also, the new giant bats (someone said they're called Greavers) seem to be too fast to outrun when they're attacking while flying. Is this intentional?
I heard these are called Mirrorwings (or something like that)
Well, I noticed there were more than 1 kind. One was darker than the other, so I 'unno.
@Levonis
Im pretty sure its intentional... They are called Greavers... lol
And i love the new half robot zombies aswell, jerks as they are, they pose a nice challenge!
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/File:Ice_Lumber.jpg <----- What in the icy lumber is that? FrostWood? New levels are awesome.
Freeze lumbers are called Silversaps.
Do we have a list of official monster names, or can we make some of them up on the fly? If we do, I wanna call the Zombie that inflicts shock "Shockenstein" :D
Also, these two are cute: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/File:HellKitty_and_OfficeDevilite.png
If by "cute" you mean "holy hell I'm gonna have nightmares," then sure.
Very cuddly nightmares!
BTW, anyone else love the electric lichens? They are pretty simple, but I think their Boswick level speed is most entertaining.
I just hope the gremlin menders get some balances again, currently they have a defensive gimmick for everything...... Melee would get you the alpha wolver-fu and shooting them would get you the matrix steps, leave them along and they'll cast sanctuary then force shield on top while they machine gun heals anything that moves....
Sanctuary need both time and area nerfs again, it can lasts over 10 to 20 something seconds and has more aoe than the graphic effects. Venom viler is pretty much the only counter to it right now.
The shock zombies are called frankenzoms. The monsters in saphykun's pic are a pepperkat and a devil-IT. I'll try and get you the official names soon.
Wrong topic, derp.
Ontopic: What are the laser-mechas and spiders called?
The zombie-like constructs are retrodes and the spider-like ones are scuttlebots.
Have you guys seen the new monster in the Graveyard levels?
the Phantom?
It really is immortal.
It wields a Gran Faust in all Tiers, and it can use the charge attack without cursing itself.
But it can curse you.
Beware, Armor of the Fallen users.
oilers, shock puppies, and alpha duskers on tier 1? not to mention the fire pits? also what's with tier 2? I last only till depth 10 with my 2 star gear. I died at the first room. Not only that. people who I've been talking to say that they solo vanaduke, but now, they give up on floor 21 by the time they let go of 1000 ce for rebirth.
