Thank you for your support.
It's always nice to receive kind words of our work.
OOO love
I thought you preferred to quench your thirst with our tears?.. lol
I had brought back this thread from beyond the grave before, as well as others.
Regular necro-er ftw. Glad I did?
"I thought you preferred to quench your thirst with our tears?.. lol"
No, that's the objective undertaken by an covert splintercell working within SK, against it. They don't do it full time, because, well, we have to be happy first to be sad, right?
I kid, cus I'm Psycho.
I like the updates, and that you don't have to be like level 80 to make a difference in a 4 man team. Game is still kinda new, but patches are making it more balanced as time goes on.
I'm addicted!
The ONLY thing I dislike is the SK economy. A lot of things are far overpriced, and take forever to obtain through crafting. Not to mention CE purchases should be a set amount, rather than rising, and dropping from second to second. But excusing that minor bit..... I really love this game. I was rather unsure about the game, at 1st, but boredom lead me into giving the game a shot. I was rather impressed with the game, after the 1st few minutes. It took me to a familiar place nestled between LoZ, and Gauntlet. (2 games I grew up playing quite a bit of.) And the fact that I was able to play this game online with my close friends only made this game that much better than it already was.
All my friends, and I do is talk about this game. It's been about 2 months since we've all started playing it, and we're still just as hooked on it as we were on the 1st day we started to play together. It's a fantastic game. A bit buggy....... but it's excusable.
Bottomline. OOO did a really great job with this game. I'd highly recommend it to anyone.
Thank you OOO, for such an awesome game.
I love Spiral Knights.
I HATE the way its hypocritely distributed to some other countries, behind the illusion that they're getting the same content and enjoyment of the game, when its actually rather like that: poor translation, poor language level of the dedicated staff, very poor quality of the connection. The first two aren't such an issue, those get fixed with time. But the 3rd is hardly tolerable.
Lavatein... how is that hypocricy? just going by definition, did they state specifically that it would not be what you said?
Anyway, there are games that are made and not even distributed to us. SK is out there at least, you can give them credit we all get to enjoy the game.
This thread has been necro'd so many times
it's awesome
@Eldibs
yeah, I get that the worst representatives are often the loudest.
The topic was made just to give reason to compliment the game, since there was no reason to prior
---
Y'know, I actually went and played a game called Dragon Nest a while back. It was pretty good, and I thought I was gonna end up trading that for SK, but then I decided to play SK again before I decided to leave...
Haven't logged back into my DN account since.
Still loving the game OOO
Keep it up
Errr well that's the hypocricy you see..if its being distributed in other countries, its not especially to please us, its only commercial. Its not really the kind of things you'd give credits for. Games distributed in other countries got proper translation (usually made by local staff), proper moderation (usually handled by a staff local to that same country) and a local server, its like that in plenty online games. The content is very good and I think developpers know that, but you have to understand when you're given a sort of uncomplete, flawed version, the effect is extremely different for the player.
Wow, Cherub has really cool armor!
Back to the forum, I love SK! I heard about it from Yahoo, when looking for some games to play, and when I saw this game, I started to get addicted to it! I love the variety and the teamwork that's involved. This game isn't overwhelming so you know what you're doing, and it has a lot of puzzles and monster battles, kind of like the Legend of Zelda, which I also enjoy. OOO is trying its hardest and we're all grateful for it, because who doesn't like being a Spiral Knight?
Not me, that's for sure. Too fun.
Is Cherub's armour an armour idea that OOO is working on? Or is it another 'GM only so you can TELL we are special' thing? Either way, I agree, it looks cool.
Thanks for making this thread Marqui, I'd have never thought of making a thread like this. With all the 'OOO, you're doing this [subject here] wrong' threads about, I'm surprised someone didn't come up with a 'OOO look what you've done right instead' thread sooner.
Thnx all! OOO and all good players alike for making SK and making it such a cool game to play :D
how come only admin get the jelly with the stash avi. ;__; anyways love you OOO's
I'm a fan of Coriolis
He helps me out when rather bothersome people flame/scam/the works
My favorite rule enforcer!
my last comment was ref to this:

lol
BTW I love your game OOO. I really dig the oldschool feel with new twists. Speaking of oldschool... ASCII Fan art!

love for OOO! :) GOOD JOB GUYS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK :)
Ah, Spiral Knights. A game you CAN play with your friends...but you don't HAVE to.
Which is why it outclasses alot of other MMos.
I love you staff! Keep up the awesome work!
@jim-dale
I accually dont mind giving them my money, they are an honest company that provides me with a second life( better than the other one, no doubt!)
:D
Why give OOO only a +1? I can give a +84375038450938534765 and even more :D
Nice work with SK, I'm really addicted and I love this game :)
Thanks OOO!
Holy crap. This thread is like an oasis in a desert of belligerence and self-entitlement.
Three Rings, I really love what you've done with this game so far. I have never played a more creatively designed MMO before! It just irks me how even the best updates you release are met with wave after wave of complaint/boycott/mindless rage threads. Keep up the good work, and may your swords always stay sharp. :)
I really love this game. I can't believe how much detail is put into the game alone, the weapons and armor, and I love the music. Great jobs OOO, and I hope to see more of what you have got in store. :D
Since the beginning, Spiral Knights has not really disappointed me in anything. When I started playing I thought, 'hey an MMO that takes actual skill AND is free' and went off to find out how much skill matters by dying a whole heap.
Nowadays I'm rocking on with dauntless delver and I'm still impressed by how much skill can matter in this game. The idea that it's not your character that levels up but rather your own abilities at playing the game just gives it endless replayability even when you've experienced all the content.
The accessories seem like a nice touch too. I'll be sure to check them out once I've finished getting all the gear I want.
Just in case no one has reminded you recently, Spiral Knights is an absolute masterpiece. =D
Played this game for the steam achievement and never regretted it, great players, great developers, great gm and great fun =)
ps. Ian, loved your style in machall and threepanelsoul it was a huge influence in my own style =)
I figure it's time this thread got a bump.
I shall bump this thread so all may know that OOO is the best!!!!
Love this game so much, only spent around 250hrs on it though >:D will buy around £20 of energy, and then more after that, you guys deserve it OOO, keep up the awesome work! <3
I won't be able to play this awesome game again till mid-November...Exams coming up...Locked computers and everything....
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah..... T^T
On a lighter note, once I regain ability to play this, I WILL play it! Especially with all the new updates and whatnot, Spiral Knights is the best! Only time I DON'T play it is when I REALLY CAN'T.
Love you guys! Keep making this game better while I can't see it! So I die from shock after seeing how more awesome you made it!
I'm this guy ^ On a account I never use to play.
Still missing this game...even with just 30 or so days to go...
Too cool...must play...
/Dries up in an empty desert alone. (side effect of not playing)
Sigh*
Seeing how people felt before the shadow update, myself including, to how they feel now...
To keep in the spirits of OOO Love (even though I previously condemned it due to the S.U.), I sincereley hope that OOO comes out of this alright. This game is too fun and promising to lose.
You'll make it out OOO, and I hope it's for the best.
I play games for end-games, and am really worried about where this game is going in that direction now.
Guess I'll just grab up an MMORPG or D3 for an action MMO. Pop into SK in between... idk... :(
Here's a little love for OOO:
Thanks for making the punkin event, it's really fun. Thanks for making one of the prizes a spookat mask, but you're still not off the hook for taking the magikat hat out of the game.
Thanks for announcing today's bugfix reboot 90 minutes in advance instead of 45. It makes a big difference.
Now just fix the shadow keys and we'll be best buds again...
Thank you, Three Rings, for giving me so many hours of entertainment, mostly for free. (I've spent a bit of money along the way.) I've played over 720 hours now. 720 hours at the movies would cost perhaps $3600 (2 hours per movie, $10 per movie). Not every minute in Spiral Knights is as good as a good movie, but in any case Spiral Knights is a great deal.
I don't have enough money to get a Shadow Key, so I'll be playing Shadow Lairs rarely if ever. If a lot of people are like me, then maybe you'll lighten the cost. But if a lot of people do shell out for Shadow Keys, then you won't lighten the cost. Even then, I'll have nothing to complain about.
Cherub i have 1 question to ask you-
Are you Boswick's good twin?
also about 85% of the stuff you put in is above decent, but everyone rants about the 15% like its all of SK, which deters newbies, also pc gamer, IGN. you rated SK poorly cause of 1 thing, the CE system, but i have 3 words for all those 30 year olds reviewers who hangs out at the local chuck-e-cheeses (dont ask), PvP.
I love the game, it is the best game I've played, the graphics are epic.. I love the energy system and the way the game works!
In my opinion, it beats the legendary MineCraft! :)
(Its true, I like this game more than MineCraft!)
(Its true, I like this game more than MineCraft!)
Why...
Why would you...
I don't even...
....
Get out of this house. Right now.
Well, while I did put in a complaint on the recent update, a rather HEFTY one (yes, I'm one of THOSE people) I still feel obligated to thank OOO for giving me a reason to stick with an MMO for 4 months, despite the fact that I hate WoW and all other massive gamer grinding time-sinks with a mighty passion. And yes, I still plan to stick around.
Three Rings, you have my deepest gratitude for making such a fun and exciting experience out of this game. Yes, I have quite a few complaints. But you know what? I wouldn't have any complaints if I didn't care about this game. And I only care about it because it's worth it. And it's only worth it because of the many many many hours put in by you and your team. Thanks again, and I look forward to all new content and games coming from OOO.
I very much enjoy SK. The gameplay is well thought out, with good level design, and I like that it's predominantly cooperative. I'd have paid for the game as a paid game, but thoroughly enjoy that I don't have to spend $$ unless I want to.
The only aspect I don't like are the elements of gambling. I'd prefer those elements to be more deterministic.
I will love you forever and ever. Altough it would be nice to reduce the crowns of the cost of energy.

I probably posted this here before, but I love Spiral Knights. The gameplay is fun, the BGM is catchy, the character designs are adorable.....but the fanbase, particularly the vocal minority, can be aggrivating. I'm sorry, but I had to say it (yet again).
As an experienced complainer let me just say that the fact someone complains about something does not mean they hate it. On the contrary, since our participation in this game is entirely voluntary, the fact that we keep playing DESPITE having things we don't like just goes to show how much we like the game as a whole. Feedback is how we as the community help develop the game. Like Orangeo said, it's tough love, and I absolutely resent being called a "whiner" and part of the "worst representatives" of the community just for being vocal.
That being said, there's plenty on which to commend the developers, and indeed all of the staff. The music and artwork, just to name a few things, are amazingly well done and beautifully polished. The gameplay is simple yet fast-paced and fun, with a real progression in difficulty to keep you challenged as you become more experienced. There are things that need work, to be sure, but every update shows real investment and effort from the devs to fix issues while still being able to release new content, and the involvement they have with the community (in particular the forum admins who interact with players in more ways than just locking threads and dishing out bans) is beyond awesome.
So my hat's off to you guys. Well done. And just remember: we hurt you because we love you. <3
"There are things that need work, to be sure, but every update shows real investment and effort from the devs to fix issues"
Too late.
Like the rest, I absolutely adore this game. I got tired of it after playing for 3 months (nothing new really going) and I just came back yesterday. I was absolutely surprised with the massive changes which in my opinion were all for the better. I can't wait to see what will happen in the next few months or years, but I'm sincerely going to stick around and see what more they can do for this game.
Keep up the good work guys, your passion and dedication radiates through this game!
I haven't read all of this thread, but wanted to post quickly to show my support.
I started playing SK for the TF2 hat, and now I play it FAR more than TF2.
Great game, lots of fun, with a (mostly) great community.
Sure there are things I don't like, or think could get more polish, but by and large it doesn't matter because the game is fun, and that's what matters.
The other day, I was going to post a big (not ranty, but long) post about the Shadow Keys in the big thread there, stating my opinion, but I ended up deleting it. I realized that aside from the Dev team (and the haters,) lots of people wouldn't have bothered to read it, and the general idea of it was that the Dev team knows what they are doing, and has something in mind with additions that they make that (often) the players aren't aware of even until AFTER it is done with. The dev team already knows this, so there was no need to post it, and the ones complaining wouldn't have listened anyways.
Like many, I don't especially like some of the new changes, but I trust that the Dev team is going somewhere with them and I am happy to give changes a chance as long as they aren't game-ruining.
We already know how cool the guys who petitioned against the new content, and then were the first to play it look right now. Just goes to show that sometimes it pays off to keep your mouth shut about something you don't like until you are informed enough to make a decision.
I'm glad that this thread popped up, so that I can show my support here, since I can't afford show it by buying some CE from time to time. :(
I approve of the changes to Divine Avenger and Gran Faust.
Now just change the Shadow Keys and we'll be friends again.
EDIT: You made my Faust look silly and the projectiles still get gimped if you're against the wall. I retract my love.
It's not that I hate anyone who ever complained about anything; I think that many of you have valid points, even though I may not agree with them (Which I don't, most of the time XD ). It's just that I get annoyed that I find that there are a dozen topics that all complain about a single issue. Wouldn't it be easier to make your point with just ONE topic instead of a bunch of smaller topics?
I know I voice my opinion in the rant thread but that does not mean I do not like this game. In fact, I have done fan art for this game b/c I just love the characters and creatures just so much!
Some of my work <3
