+9000.
All others +1.
Hey, Soda, srsly, get back here and update that little OP of yours.
You got more than 20 supporters on this thread (on the neglected suggestion forums).
That's impressive and quite hard to achieve.
If you moved this to general discussions I'm sure you'd get +30
Plus, you must have seen Nick's new update which kind of proves the devs DO pay attention.
The more supporters an idea has the more the devs care about it. It doesn't matter if they comment or not.
You have no real reason to give up on this thread '-'
You shouldn't, at least.
Good ideas.
Heres one more:
Organize the Auction recipies into the groups: swords, guns, shields, helmet and armor.
It takes forever to find the right recipe.
The idea of subtracting client lag from the remaining time of a given event is too hard to implement.
The idea of heat on maxed gear being helpful, is a fun idea, but not much would be achieved by implementing it.
The suggestion about disconnection backup is a really good idea, but its ridiculously exploitable.
The idea of left-handed knights is also nice, but not much would be achieved by implementing it either.
Sorry if I sound harsh, but I can't simply drown the OP with suggestions just because they're so easy to make.
I'm trying (or .. was?) to make them easy to implement, yet being very effective ideas that are worth every minute fixing the game for.
I'll try temporarily moving this to General Discussion like you suggested.
Sorry if I'm inactive.. I've basically quit. Spiral Knights it's losing its color and I'm thinking I might only hop on to check out updates.
Increasing Guild sizes and the number of Friends you can have would be nice now that there are more players.
I definitely agree with these suggestions. Some of them, like the rotating camera, isn't priority, but it'd be nice to have anyway.
Got another small suggestion: Make it so you can still spectate players after you've been revived.
Sometimes, you don't want to revive immediately, but after someone revives you, you lose the ability to spectate other party members. It'd be nice if you had a specific button at the bottom that read "GET UP" so you can still cycle with the mouse buttons.
actually i'm not fond of the idea of camera control or more powerful heart trinkets. but health bars might be ok if we could turn them off or they toggled on for just a few seconds at specific points on bosses. (1/2 health, 1/4, etc...)
more powerful <3 trinks would just lead to even more imbalance in LD games between the 4* and 5* players, not to mention the really rich people.
camera controls in this game would probably lead to it being harder to play over all. you'd have to make sure you're moving the camera all the time, or just leave it in one spot, and basically remove it's usefulness. it takes time to get a good game sense, but i like that extra bit of challenge and skill required.
the rest of the idea's i really like. good job on the forum! :D

1- Ok, I saw that coming.
2- Small additions make a fun game. We don't need a revolutionary idea to make the game better.
3- Ok. I agree.
4- Same as #2.
I hope you come back when the new missions system is implemented.
@Ewbte:
Um, there IS an option to show damage... it seems everyone but you knows about it and has it on.
Bump up since i saw similar suggestion on forum that is already here. Make this topic alive.
+1 to all suggestions
Thats the solution!!
Say words like %@?&$@. That way they would read your post.
this topic is so great, i support all ideas. This is best topic with suggestions on forum, it contains a lot of suggestions which would make gaming experience for ALL or MOST of player!
Not like other topic with selfish suggestions of buffs, nerfs of weapons or new items which will affect only narrow group of ppl leaving rest with nothing. Not to mention those silly sugestions of pets and houses etc. That change sk into sandbox playground.
Another suggestion: Let us wear costumes in Lockdown/Blast Network. (I don't know if you're allowed to wear a costume in BN, but if you can't, also that too.)
I agree with all of these except the Manual Camera Rotation. All these are good + creative ideas, but what button would you press to rotate the camera? Also, this would require a lot of work from the devs and they'd have to deal with the graphic glitches and people exploiting bugs and stuff. It's not really a big problem for me and most others either. My favorite suggestion was definitely the Visible Life Bar. It is kind of frustrating when you don't even know how many hits till you're done with the boss. Especially Jelly King, because he keeps healing himself. 2nd favorite has to be the Guild Notice. Kinda like Minecraft servers, when you log in you get a message. Not really that neccesary, but it would be kind of nice.
I think part of the issue with wearing costumes in PvP (specifically LD) is that you would throw people off. You could wear proto gear as a costume to hide the fact that you're actually wearing other stuff. People wouldn't know how to deal with you - they wouldn't know where your defenses might be lacking, so they wouldn't be able to accordingly choose their weapons.
Of course, there's always the fact that you could have UVs or trinkets and others would never know, but I think that's probably the reason we can't have costumes in LD.
People could wear a Snarbolax costume so you would use a Flourish on them, when they're actually wearing Skolver.
However, you CAN wear costumes in BN.

Low priority (I'd rather see more enemies for the clockworks, tortodrones, etc.) , but even so, I agree with all but the last one. Changing the camera angle would make the world look funny, and would make the game stray from the point of view you're supposed to see the world in.
@Schattentag
true that, but making you be able to use costiumes would make game more challenging :) you wont be able to know what person is wearing under it so you will have to actually know enemy to deal with him
On the other LD could be make that both teams are not dumped into one waiting room but into two separate, so you cant know who is wearing what unless you meed them on battlefield
And one should not be able to inspect people in LD.
"4) Krogmo Alchemy Machine Recipe Placement Organisation [Me]"
Just to let you know, it's sorted alphabetically. Not that it matters, it's still out of order.
Since Spiral Knights does not have a suggestions guide, I usually use this one: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/256585-read-a-guide-to-posting-sugge...
States that just use one idea per thread. I'm ONLY talking about ideas 3 through 6 here. The way you've done the rest of your thread is great.
Although grouping all your suggestions together on one thread is easier for you to manage, the following problems arise:
* It is harder for forum users to find one of your specific ideas and give it direct attention
* The wall of text is unappealing
* Individual ideas cannot gain attention from the title, because your title is collaborative
* Some users (like myself) click on links depending on that title
* It's tricky to discern which idea is gaining attention. There might be a lack of discussion of a particular because already perfect, or because it's not interesting. If it was in a thread on its own, the perfect idea would recieve "+1"s without discussion, while the not interesting idea will just die.
* Megathreads (single item threads) are just so much more satisfying
I guess if all the ideas were about the same topic then that'd be cool.
Not taking the piss out of you, you're not the first to submit collaboration ideas either. (or "wishlists" as they're commonly called) You have quite a few good ideas here, and your thread is quite good and well thought out, but I noticed that a few of them have already been suggested.
Guys, if you don't give a crap about what I've said here, then ok. This isn't minecraftforums. I've just had a need to voice my opinion on this topic.
For attention, and spreading awareness of this long lost topic. <3
Yay another person who loves cows.
