Ah yes it only took a couple short months for my predictions to be right. I join this game after quitting TF2 and I went wow this is great and here I am, doing this crap again. Crates..... crates, welp just like in TF2 time to try opening a crate and find something as worthless as a ball of heat or maybe I'll get a Stout Shako and sell it for 2 refined, what's Stout Shako? Well you'll all learn soon enough. And no instead of fixing stuff and weapon balances get enjoy new hats and glasses for your knights. Enjoy Team Fortress Hat Accessory Simulator Spiral Knights 2.
In before rage at me cause you people didn't already see this happen months ago.

What's wrong with crates and
What's wrong with crates and keys? Did any game force you to buy keys or you couldn't keep playing the game?
And no instead of fixing stuff and weapon balances get enjoy new hats and glasses for your knights.
Not sure if you have worked in the game industry, but everything is budgeted, and they are budgeted for various outcomes, be it profit, a game's longevity, or otherwise. Accessories will generate quite a bit of revenue for OOO, I'm sure something Sega will be happy about since OOO would lose all funding if their little game stopped producing money regularly. Most players don't quite understand that content (and don't get me wrong, I'd love tons more content), doesn't really bring in the money. It's nice to have a game to play, but it doesn't actually generate much money compared to selling stuff directly.
Furthermore, I think the devs would feel pretty down that you think they didn't fix bugs. When their list of issues is gigantic, and they fixed 100 bugs this past week, and no one notices, maybe it's a good thing, but it does suck when players think devs aren't doing what they can to fix bugs. There may be no one more bothered by bugs than the devs themselves. They run into the bugs probably more than any one player does. Constant testing of their game additions put this at the forefront. I love going down my list of issues and marking them each as "resolved." Feels good. Don't think the devs aren't fixing bugs. In fact, they fixed corner crafting. :( Hey, some glitches should stick around. Even Valve readded glitches to TF2 once they took out something players enjoyed.
OOO may not agree with what you consider imbalances, but at least make sure they are aware of these by discussing them in the Arsenal. If you don't specifically voice it, should you be upset it was never changed? Not saying it will change to your liking, though.

You know, it's kind of OOO's fault no one notices...
...and they fixed 100 bugs this past week, and no one notices...
Usually they say "this patch contains many behind-the-scenes fixes". So no one notices!
Compare: WoW's massive patch notes.

"this patch contains many
"this patch contains many behind-the-scenes fixes"
Usually because upcoming content is also included in some updates (by some, pretty much every update I've looked at had some).
They can't announce that those particular things are in the patch.
I don't know why they don't just use an internal version to work on upcoming content rather than make people download stuff they won't be seeing for a while.

Not only that...
I believe they didn't announce/document a lot of other things, like...
1. Howlitzer's head-missile tweak
2. Jelly King tweak (before, didn't pause before spinning in rage mode)
3. everything they did to curb the power of going solo (e.g. the Love Puppy drop fix)
4. anti-looping fixes (understandable, though)

Behind the scene fixes? I
Behind the scene fixes? I just crashed on another run. Crashing at 40% that is totally great. And no adding items isn't bad, it's some of the stuff they don't fix that is complained about most, like lag issues, performance issues and crashing. Yes when they do fix stuff I'm happy, but right now I wasted at least 50 Ce trying to play and this is about the 6th time this week I've wasted energy cause it crashed or Steam issues or something. And no my computer can run the game, if I can run games like Fallout 3 fine then this game shouldn't be so hard.
Also I can't play the game right now because the buggy update so yes I CAN'T PLAY. It's keeping me from enjoying myself.

Blame it on Steam?
Ok, it's not one of the reasons why I semi-abandoned my main account and my gunslinger, but I guess I'll add that reason now: Steam goes down sometimes, independent of SK.
Tip: Can set Steam on Offline Mode and still be able to start up SK. Unfortunately, can't play the Steam account either! (Well I can't "spectate" on TF2 either but that's a different issue altogether.)

It's crashing in between
It's crashing in between runs. I've gotten stuck sometimes at 40% loading on levels, I know they are going to fix this but that doesn't get the time and energy I wasted and not being able to play a game I want to play. I never said Spiral Knights is a bad game I said I was offended cause this came out and now I can't even enjoy the game and choose to ignore this update and it's items or relish in the thought of more customizable knights.
If it was Steams problem, fine I'll give them that it's not their fault but I'm just angry cause right now I can't play and this happens alot due to bugs. There are times where I'm happy they fix bugs and my game is working but when I wasted stuff I can't get back and it happens frequently enough to make me lose out on stuff.

Not like Tf2
in Tf2 you need to buy keys with Irl money, in SK you can simply stock up energy (buy it with crowns) and simply open them.
its just another crown/energy/money sink for me :P
"I've gotten stuck sometimes at 40% loading on levels"
Mate that's programming you fix problame B and wreck problame A
the only thing you can do is ether play something else or keep trying don't fell offended by it.
I mean for sure Sega does not want Players getting stuck at 40% loading and losing energy for sure with will be fixed just wait :)

Really have only played one other MMO and that is PP for a while, but you never hear anyone say TF2 there, or half the terms used here. When I saw people shouting WTS I was like..wtf does that mean.

000, thanks for the new cr making business!
@ Richy
Then you really haven't been around the gaming world all that much have you?
TBH, the whole accessories thing doesn't effect me. Well, it does in the sense that 'll be making quite a profit off it!

I wouldn't start raging just yet. Spiral Knights never had an inventory space limit, so I could sit on 2000 crates and not care. Not the same with TF2.
