Where is it? I saw the post was about 4 hours ago, and I opened SK to check out how much shadow keys from Boost are, there was no patch but there was a message about it.
I'm confused. Did anyone get the actual patch or are Mac and/or Steam players bugged again?
So new patch...

There is usually some time
There is usually some time between the patch announcements in forum and when the game is actually updated.
Assuming 9-5 workday (as if), expect the patch to go live near the end of the workday in pacific time. So perhaps way about an hour or so? At least this has been my observation recently.

The announcement's timestamp
The announcement's timestamp is so much earlier because oftentimes announcements are composed in advance for translation. They're set as "unpublished" until closer to the release time.

Good patch is good.
Hopefully the new keys will be reasonable... I'd love to actually visit the shadow place once/profit from it. Really glad OOO is doing this.
The other new features also sound nice, though I'm wondering if the "individual weapon slot bindings" refer to key bindings or not being able to switch my weapons up. Hopefully key bindings.

Guesses on shadow price
Guesses on shadow price keys?
I'm going to say 2K CE.
Edit:
The more I think about it, the more I think it will be higher.
I say the cost of unbinding a 5*!
4K CE

This patch makes me happy, especially the bit with the weapon key binding. I wanted that feature as soon as I got 3 weapons slots, and now that I have 4, it's even better.
I feel sorry for the people who bought Shadow Keys earlier today/yesterday, though. Unless the Boost price is astronomical, they've lost out.

If they are too cheap people will stack them to resell them after the "limited time".

Sure but it's better than hundreds of smart people converting their CE (and CR) into shadow keys and wait for end of the limited time to resell them for profit.
Be prepared for a nice CE price rise in the next hours/days :)

This patch makes me happy,
yeah, my bad about just making snide guesses about the price of shadow keys in my first post. The "last logged on" and "weapon bindings" are really great to have. It isn't clear to me what the "arsenal chests" do, they could be very very useful too.
Thanks OOO.

I wonder
i wonder if they'll make them buyable with only candy? i mean people obviously have an overstock of candy and it will make people go into cllockworks more to get tokens...
ide realy like to get rid of my 100 of each candys.... i already bought every haloween mask...

Since the silver key is at
Since the silver key is at 750 CE, it would be smart to do the same and set the shadow key price among the amounts of CE pack you can purchase.
So it's either 1600 or 3500 or 7500.
7500 is mostly the current price of the shadow key.
1600 is too cheap.
So it should be 3500 CE :)

Bindings?

Bindings? Huh?

Key bindings = controls. Key
Key bindings = controls. Key bindings for weapon slots = setting controls for individual weapon slots, instead of manually switching with the mouse wheel or spacebar [or whatever you have it set to].

Now if we could only get key binding for the quest map...

So uh...
Good update overall. Some useful or welcome new features. Shadow Key price is too high for poor ol' me. But I suppose with the current key prices it's reasonable.
But what really caught my attention was the pumpkin bomb bandolier someone posted a link to ( http://wiki.spiralknights.com/File:Pumpkin_bomb_bandolier.png ).
How do you get that, and any other accessories that might be available for Halloween? I was expecting it to be something to buy with candy, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Can't think of anywhere else.

NOOOOOO!!!!!
They modified moving backwards, and now I cannot hit the forward and backward keys in quick suggestion while spinning in circles! My dance is ruined! Oh, what will I do to wait out those 20 seconds before the Blast Network game starts? =( =(
Worst update yet.
EDIT: I am actually dead serious about this (no sarcasm, no joking. if you've seen me you'd know how much I enjoyed walking backward)

Well colour me surprised!
Patch makes me happy in so many ways - most notably that it removes my reasons for not playing for the last few weeks :)
A big thumbs up to OOO thankyou for listening, and a big 'hello!' to the people who kept telling everyone that complaining on the forums was pointless (yes OOO really don't want free qualatative data....)

"and a big 'hello!' to the people who kept telling everyone that complaining on the forums was pointless (yes OOO really don't want free qualatative data....)"
I don't think think that anyone said that directly or not, if anyone had a problem with your pouting it was because all the entitled whiners (because what can you call someone who makes another, personal thread for something that has o9k threads already) made separate threads and basically pooped all over General Discussion, it was hard to browse. Noone would complain about complainers if there was a direct feedback forum subsection so you could go poop there with annoying people and leave alone people who just want to partake in General Discussion and not in Bawww Brawl.

♥ new patch
I am in love with the new bindings, and the Shadow Key prices.
Seriously, having a button for each weapon is awesome (especially when said buttons are all on your mouse).
Please don't go back to the old Shadow Key system, OOO.

Lol
More than one person said that directly, which was oh so constructive.
Also 'pouting'? Hilarious. Trying to reinforce arguments with indirect put downs is always a winner.

Me no gusta.
I for one, dislike the fact that they made the shadow keys availible through CE, considering how much CE the rest of us actually spent to get one.
I just REALLY have to disagree with you guys on this. Me no gusta.
Thu, 10/27/2011 - 06:47
#36
Well
I was trying to make a point regarding how complaining/praising on the forum is the only feedback mechanic we have as players, and therefore how ridiculous telling people not to do it is. Yes maybe I could have been more sensitive with my wording, so I will apologise if you find it offensive.
Now please excuse me I have two weeks catching up to do!

That was always the risk
@Martinsen
Basically, everyone who was tryin' to get Shadow Keys before this kinda got shafted.
But, that's always a risk when moving from insane prices to reasonable ones. (or from gambling systems to non-chance-based ones).
Hopefully there'll be refunds or something for the people who were trying to get keys (like when the prices of recipes changed that one time), but I don't see how (there's no easy way to tell who was rageopening lockboxes for Keys and who was doing it for Accessories).
Hopefully, vended shadow Keys will stick around, so that EVERYONE (with appropriate gear and skill, of course) can access the new (story-advancing) content. I can see the price going up after Halloween, tho.

@Axellon "Hopefully there'll be refunds or something for the people who were trying to get keys"
Why, if I may ask? They have all right to feel shafted, of course, but that's not the nature of gambling? Trial and error? Test your (lack of) luck? So the ones who got their keys for less than 1.5CE (I know they may be rare or may not exist at all) should pay more? That was their choice, as was my choice to not search any lockboxes for shadow keys (the wiser choice, I think). If it happened to come a shadow key onto my hands, that would be a mere accident, and i'd need to do nothing for this.
I may be wrong affirming this, but they tried their luck, they acted "OMGF I WANT IT NAO!!!", they didn't wait for an proper response from admins/devs/GMs as some folks did. So I think OOO has no responsibility for their eagerness.

I like that, the price going
I like that, the price going up after halloween, that is. That's a great idea. But here's the thing, I might find myself lucky, considering I opened one of my first boxes to check out the accessories (Yes, I recently started playing again) and then I got a shadow key, lucky, I know. But there still are a LOT of people who opened way more than I did. I didn't even have the intention of getting one yet. But yeah, I'll just grab as many keys as possible for now.

The key prices are going to
The key prices are going to be pretty stable for awhile since a lot of people stocked up while they had a chance. Unless they botch up multiple runs, they should be able to get what they want before running out of keys and having to turn to the market. Anyone who bought keys just to sell, are gonna be in for a fairly long wait.
And if OOO drops the shadow keys on sale again, you can kiss market appreciation good bye.
