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.

So we'll see you tomorrow, then. Eh?

TF2 is one of the most recognized acronym in all of gaming! its Team Fortress 2 (Click me)

...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 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.

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.)

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 :)

@ 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!
