You cannot enter the Core as you are not a part of the Chosen.

I'm still pretty sure you open the core by repeatedly throwing stuff at that smug guy standing down there. Also undermining his authority by eating supplies in front of those hungry hungry guys to his right helps. This is the method we successfully used to get Basil to show us his 5* recipes and that's how we'll open the core, too.

The main reason why the core isn't open yet is you and the others who keep giving those guys cheap minerals. Come on, 20cr or something for fighting though all those dangerous areas? I say: keep those, until they make a better offer! I bet they didn't even really bother to try & open the core yet, after all we're practically shoving crystalline gold up their posterior region anyway each and every day.

1. Kidnap Nick
2. Interrogate Nick
3. Find out all the information about the Core if its done etc from Nick.
4. MAKE Nick add it to Spiral Knights
5. Play Spiral Knights
6. Try not to get arrested

Hope that helps

anti-troll's are so annoying.

anyway, ill use my bomb to blow up the core while everyone is there

"Once all of them are filled, the secret to the core will reveal itself" You weren't high or anything when you made this post did you. It's like you read what the NPC said and then your imagination took off lol....

The anti-troll returns:

If they would just build the core and let us in rather then making us collect minerals and expect us to believe that if we keep collecting minerals that we will open it.

Grammatically speaking this makes no sense. You start off with an "if" but never have a "then," so this sentence makes as much sense as if I were to say "If I jump really high."

Now what I think you're saying is that you're annoyed that you misinterpreted the knight's words at the core, and thought that collection of minerals would open the core. Aside from the fact that no one else who posted here had that same misinterpretation, do you even know why the knight says that? I'll tell you. He says that because it's Three Rings' way of saying "keep on doing what you've been doing and eventually we'll finish making the core and open it to you guys." This game is about profiting on microtransactions, don't go trying to heavily read in between the lines of what little lore exists for it.

If the core is going to be in the game, why can't they just give it to us?

You're obviously not one for critical thinking, so here goes: the whole conflict driving the game is that you need to get to the core to get energy for the ship so we can all fly away happily ever after. If they just gave the core to us after getting past Tier 3, that would be endgame, and Three Rings would need to create some other way of keeping you on the planet (i.e. we get to the core but we can't use the energy for the ship). If you got to the core, got the energy, and fixed the ship, you wouldn't stay on Cradle. That goes against the whole lore stuff. The Knights are stranded there and want to GTFO, and nobody likes being on Cradle (you can tell by reading Alpha Squad's things).

Short version: The Core means game over, which is why they haven't given it to us yet. When they do, they'll need to create some scenario that forces the Knights to remain planetside, unless they plan on creating some aspect of this game that does not take place on Cradle, which is highly unlikely. They haven't finished the Core yet, and when they finally do and release something else, you're going to ask "why can't they give us the something else?!" Just think about this for a minute.

We have made it to T3 and we need more! Minerals won't get us anywhere for now! If you really want to know how the core will open, ask OOO! It is a waste of CE for us to travel all around looking for them. Wait for them to give us the core.

....what are you, twelve years old? Do you even know anything about game development and coding, and what is required in making a game? Not to mention this game was released earlier than was planned. At this point you seem to just be whining that you don't have as much content as you want. It takes time, man. They have a team of seven people. They're working on it.

We deserve the core, and besides, why do we need minerals anyway if all the stratums will be finished soon anyway?

You don't "deserve" anything, first off. Secondly, you need minerals to change a stratum to something else. You can get a little cash from them, but if you don't want to use them for money, you can use them to change what kind of levels you'll encounter at a certain depth. Third, grammar police again: plural of stratum if strata. Yeah, I know, everyone will hate me for that. Whatever.

They will be useless to knights and wouldn't help build anything. Minerals only open new stratums, not the core.

The latter statement contradicts the former.

BOTTOM LINE: You want the core. We get it. But at the end of the day, you'll get the core when OOO is ready to give it to you. No amount of complaining, or debating, or speculation on anyone's part will get them to give it to us faster. Just play Spiral Knights, have fun, build up an economic empire or something, and we'll get the core when it's ready.

The game's new, it's not like the developers think of the core and poof it's there, they actually have to make everything first, so don't go complaining and wait, the game's fun enough already, you're just making it a bad time for you by complaining. Is patience gone now or something, or are players just so dumb to think that making the game is quick and easy?

The OP is probably a young kid (8-13) judging from his writing style and opinions presented.

People are always so fast to jump to the idiot/troll conclusion, but these kinds of threads aren't uncommon with kids who have absolutely no understanding of game development.
