Not quite sure what time zone OOO is based in but its evening here and considering how my family celebrates Chinese New Year I'm pretty sure today, Jan. 23, is the correct date. When are we going to see the promised Year of the Dragon stuff?

I'd also like to remind people that I REALLY hope to see gunslinger hats fixed, hopefully in this update (devs have had more then enough time to make this small fix)

Sonic was the update.

Chinese new year was celebrated by Sega using Spiral Knights as a vehicle to advertise their Sonic release.

No, that was a separate thing. The Sonic CD thing wasn't the Year of the Dragon thing. You will see.

Of course the Sanic update

Of course the Sanic update wasn't the year of the dragon stuff, but I hope it's soon enough.

Technically if they didn't do a promo until next year, it would still be valid, it is the YEAR of the dragon, not the day hehehe...

Actually, as far as I know, Chinese/Asian dragons do not have wings.

Those long moustache-sort-of-things would make splendid accessory though. I can imagine them waving when knight is running.

You all make me sadface.

I know Chinese dragons do not have wings. I was just kind of getting ahead of myself.

But still, I would really likes me some wings for my arcane salamander set.

@Merethif
That would look extremely silly. Also if it was like the mustaches in the AH, salas can't wear mustaches... :<

Now you ruined the surprise for our plans to release "Arrow to the Knee" and "Stolen Sweet Roll" accessories. >:(

P.S. That was a joke.

You are definatly right since it is ''the YEAR of the dragon'' but since it was listed in January patch notes that's what people,like me, would expect(even though its not final). I am guessing that they will just release the missions, this promotion, and the other stuff mentioned all at once.

"hush you - don't ruin my fun"

We need to be heard for once, and I think we might have with possible handgun changes, whatever that means.

The Deadshot change is not for benefits, it is to make a statement.

And no offense, not that it implies no offense is taken but...

We kind of don't like people disgracing our armor. It is embarassing to a gunner for a lowly swordsman to wear our armor.

Now if you are a bomber, that is another story - we like your kind, and might actually feel bad for you when the changes go through if you represented us with our armor.

That would be fabulous.

Also, happy [slightly belated] lunar new year to all relevant groups :3
