Shock Brandish, Shock Graviton Bomb, Ice Khorovod and a Poison Autogun. Just sayin'.
I can see the future.
I like how you think that he is just speculating.
I don't see why you think he's not.
I don't want to breach the ToS so you will have to stay in the dark.
Meh, I stand by what I said that even if they ARE added, for the most part they aren't very good.
I can't see someone favoring Shock Brandish over Fire or Freeze.
Fire is the higher DPS option, Freeze is the better CC option. Shock is sort of wishy-washy between the two.
Shock Graviton Bomb would either be a direct upgrade from Vortex, or be worse due to weaker pull or something. Either way, one of these two bombs would overshadow the other.
I don't like autoguns that much personally, so I don't really care either way about that. I will speculate it would inflict piercing damage, when the primary enemies you want to poison are gremlins and slimes... making shadow damage a much better choice. (See : Biohazard)
And unless the Ice Khorovod is a 5* version that inflicts Stun -and- Freeze (See : Silversap) I wouldn't understand the change.
The ToS would have nothing to do with...whatever little "I've got a seeeeeeecret" nonsense you're pulling.
If you signed an Non-disclosure agreement relating to some OOO beta test of new items, -that- would be limiting you. Of course, such NDAs often restrict you from mentioning that you're even a part of such a beta, and your post here would be saying that you are, which would be a violation of your agreement.
I'm inclined to think that you're full of it.
^That.
Plus those items are so random that I'd wonder what the heck OOO was thinking.
"You agree not to do any of the following prohibited actions:
1. reproduce, distribute, publicly display or perform, translate, modify, adapt, create derivative works from, deconstruct, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble in any manner Spiral Knights or any portion thereof, including but not limited to any character, graphic, associated software or proprietary communications protocol used by the software or any utilities, applications, emulators or tools derived therefrom; "
There was a topic with some pointers but i can't find it anymore so i guess it got deleted.
Lululuull, you people really need to play more than MMORPGs.
As for the ToS, I'm doing nothing of such. If it were illegal for me to do this, then it'd be illegal for any sort of fanart, screenshots or videos around the internet from Spiral Knights. Besides, there is absolutely no proof. Perhaps I AM speculating.
WahaHAH.
As for the 'beta-item-tester' doozy, nah. I'm just another Spiral Knight player. Not even a GM.
did you data mine this, or are you just suggesting possibilities?
*Listens to the sound of a crowbar being raised.*

Take dat, und dis?
How the hell....did he know?
I noticed this was posted probally straight after bomber man mode came out.unless he saw the announcements and it told him a secret or something.
If you checked the posting dates, this was posted 10 days before the bomberman mode.
Likely means he somehow get a leak from inside sources, or the texture files for the weapons were added before the pvp patch.
Just checked the files, and the texture files were created on 7/21/11, so probably the latter. We're not supposed to talk about what we find in those files, although there's nothing stopping us from looking.
None of these would be viable (except for the brandish and Khorovod) unless there was a tier above 5-star added.
As for your ideas, I could see a Shock Brandish.
Which one? Cautery Sword. ( http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Cautery_Sword )
Add a 4-star and 5-star for this, by making it more like Ionized Salt Bomb. ( http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Ionized_Salt_Bomb )
4* could be Ionized Cautery Sword.
Good chance of causing Moderate Shock
Damage Bonus vs Slime: High
Changed damage to be split Normal/Elemental.
5* could be Slime Slayer.

As for the Graviton Bomb, I can't see that happening. I could see an upgraded Vortex (if they ever added above 5-star) that had a chance to inflict curse.
For the Khorovod, I could see them making it's charge similar to Trojan's attacks.
Large AoE radius, inflicts stun, and have the rocks that appear behind you have a chance to stun as well.
I don't see the poison autogun happening either.
