Ok so a post I made got some people talking about it and got me thinking. First off we need new weapons that can become 5 star weapons and are not swords, things like scythes, flails, morning stars, lances, etc. Take this link here to see my idea for a shadow scythe http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/31517
For ability’s I was looking around in the controls menu and saw that by pressing “C” you could strafe. Of course it didn’t work but what if they added ability’s that could only be equipped one at a time and used in the clockworks. For example there could be sprinting, doge rolling, or maybe charging and bashing a gremlins face in with your shield( I mean maybe even a group of enemies some of these shields are bigger than the knights).
As for lore for all of you who have seen a picture of Cradle ( the planet spiral knights takes place on) notice how it has that gold rod like if it were a model globe. Well what if there were clock works in there except for going down you go up. The only way to unlock this part is be beating vana at least once. Half way through the gold rod thing could be a boss in that center part. Then once you get past the rest then go down the exit could come out at a town which has been made by the few people that escaped when the empire of Almir collapsed (vana’s kingdom) As for what type of creatures the survivors could be I don’t know. Any way in this town there could also be a bazaar and the things they have at haven except it would be more based for 5 star knights not all around. In this town could be another entrance to the clock works except at he bottom of these one you get to fight one of the gremlins in the crimson order(the few gremlins who get to have an audience with the gremlin king) If you’re lucky you can get a key from each one and then use those keys to unlock another part of the clockworks like maybe to the domain of the gremlin king or something even worse. So tell me what you think i like feed back and working with others we could make somthin neither of use could have though of alone.
you could break this wall o'text up u know its easier on the eyes
