Hey, just thought I'd stop by the forums and give some of my thoughts.
These may or may not be underway, but they're simple, yet could work nicely.

Stats. Maybe in the "progress" tab or another tab when signing up for a game, it'd be interesting to see your personal stats. Total matches, kills, deaths, teamkills, best score etc.

Extra powerups. Nothing too spectacular, but maybe something like bomb timer up or bomb timer down, so you can be more careful or choosy with these powerups to what would suit you best. Slow and powerful, or quick and small.

Training games. An extra type of game mode, which uses no fee and gives no rewards, but works like a regular lobby like in the gates. So you can have it open, or make it private and invite your friends for a private match.

And that concludes all of my thoughts for now. Oh, and you must excuse me if these have been already suggested; I don't use the forums as often as I should.
Thanks for reading.

I like the stats idea. For the powerups maybe they could add ? powerups and skull. The training one should allow you to go against NPC players or against you friends.

I don't understand in Spiral Knights, you can't choose your team or anything, it just says random team.

Skull would be nice, but then

Skull would be nice, but then it'd be too similar *too* Bomberman.
And NPCs would be good as well, but I figure people would prefer, and it'd be easier, to play with friends.
The Random Team is a bit annoying when I want to play in the same lobby as my friends.
Ranked Match team games would be nice as well, where it pits you with the closest ranked players.

Power downs!

I like all the ideas, but whar about powerdowns? Like diereah, you cant stop dropping all your bombs. That would be funny to see someone walk into a dead end.
Also piral, i beleive I have added you, my IGN is orangeo.

Powerdowns...

Powerdowns would be interesting as well, and fairer, because when a player has the upper hand, and gets lucky with a lot of powerups at the start, they become near invincible. It would be more balanced if they didn't leech power-ups, and had to mind that they don't reduce their own, or cause terrible problems. Maybe even some status effects could be in there, like stun, shock or freeze.
And yes, that would be me, Orangeo. xD

Another request I thought of, was that the leaderboards are reset every month or so, so that new players get a chance to be nearer the top.

Sorry if I'm stealing

First of all I agree with all these ideas and think that they would be a great improvement to this section of the game.

That said I would like to use this topic (as to not spam the suggestion forums with these kinds of threads) to say some things that might improve it more.

1. Color the names in the Chatbox: This is just a general and fairly easy thing to do so that we know who said what or which team killed whose player.

2. Allow us to overfill the bribery bar: This would make it so that instead of there being a maximum of 25 energy to bribe there would be no maximum and the more energy we put in the better the prize is.

3. Separate players based on ranking: This mainly for free-for-all so that you don't get one super-awesome player owning all the no0bs, just make it so that you only play against people near your ranking.

It's fine

Yeah, I was hoping to make my own suggestions, as well as hoping people would add their own.

The colouring sounds like a good idea, otherwise you kind of have to memorize who is in your team, as it doesn't tell you in the social tab under "Party".

Overfilling would be interesting, but it may or may not defeat the object of playing lots of games to tempt you to do better and play to win.

I think I mentioned rank games in an earlier post. Very briefly, though. It would work nicely for a lot of reasons, and could work for random team as well as free for all. Just matching you more closely. Obviously, the only issue there is that you can still be pitted with lots of idlers.
