Since apparently Rommil has somehow gained the ear of somebody important, i suggest we all make requests directly to rommil. This way (hopefully) or voices will be heard by rommil, and he can make a thread about what we want, and then we'll get it. <--i thought about running both of those sentences together, but instead opted for one mediocre sentence and one train wreck.
What would you ask Rommil to ask the development team to put on featured AH?

In the same manner as the
In the same manner as the Scissor Blades, a Nitronome reskinned to look like a wrapped present, and when it explodes instead of the usual animation it's instead a colourful explosion with confetti. It'd probably be even more visually disruptive, but it would be too pretty for anyone to care.

Ask for me Rommil!
An irontech destroyer reskinned to look like a snipe with a nitronome hooked onto it... would be a nice bomb.
I'd also like to see some nice groundbreaker sets on there....

I personally agree with Chris. The groundbreaker sets should be exclusively accessible to the beta players. Put a couple of groundbreaker sets on the Auction House - you'll never know who's a beta player and who's not. Not to mention the price they'd go for...

Might not matter since I'm f2p anyway but...
>_> I say no groundbreaker as well. I don't try to act entitled because I got in the game a week early, I was barely a beta player unlike most of the rest, but come on, let me have this one thing to myself, now even random win bombheads are on the AH, if that goes, there will be nothing in the entire game that you can't purchase one way or another. There was justification for the bombheads at least since the chances of earning one were somewhat low whenever mass steam players aren't around. I wear mine not to show off but as a personal note that I'm still the same noob from way back then.
I won't protest or anything if they did though because I still like the game more than that but still, Rommil, please don't ask them to put up Groundbreaker.

I didn't know that was up
I didn't know that was up there, I just saw bombheads and moved on to selling my mist crafted wolver coat, but tbh, anyone who played when BN came out could get that. I'd say it shouldn't be there because it was a record of who was there at the time, but whatever.
I guess on that note, we should expect pumpkin bandoliers eventually. That one would be really good in case people wanted a second copy.

thank you everyone
this thread brought a smile to my face :)
Peak behind the curtain? Here is what is next on my agenda.
#1. New Accessory styles
#2. Adjustment to accessories on bombhead masks.
To expound upon these.
#1. These are styles, just like regal, cool, dusker, etc.. [names subject to change]
luv----pink.
Snarble----Black (no red tips, so name may need to be adjusted)
Quick----silver. like quicksilver helm.
Proto----bright green, like proto crest
phantom--bright purple like phantoms in grave yard
#2. Bombheads being able to accept Top accessories. When equipping a top accessory, the wik on bombheads will disappear, so as not to clash. Also, the wick will/would theortically be added to the list of top accessories.
Bonus:
reskinned plasmatech suits colors.
Peach Rose regaila
sky rose regalia

Can you put GM's up for
Can you put GM's up for auctions?
I think having one of those would be really handy. There's some stuff we'd like to try... like playing starlight cradle, fighting against a tortodrone in our guild hall, pushing that F'IN unreachable button in jelly farm, setting all people in haven1 on fire and poking basil to a slow and painful death with wrench wands...

p.s.
to clear up any potential confusion:
I, rommil, am not or am in no way related to being a spiral knights GM or Game Designer or part of the Development team. I'm just a squeaky wheel who managed to get greased with bombhead masks. And i now have turned my sight to a few other issues that i feel are too painfully obvious in their needs to be ignored any longer. namely, the ones post above :p

@Rommil
No, rather, you know Nick irl and when you went drinking or whatever with him, you bugged him to make bombhead auctions until he said "FINE! JUST SHUT UP ABOUT IT!" We just want you to incessantly bug him like some deranged Navi about other things. :p
_____________
As for the Groundbreaker, I'd like to remind everyone that there's a goddamn lowercase beta on the helmet. You know, for beta tester. So releasing it again would be idiotic. >_>
Now, I could totally see a reskinned helmet being released through the AH. Like maybe a fireman's helmet.

Accessory Styles
I think the problem with new accessory styles, Rommil, is that the current styles are made to match the current range of armor (eg regal accessories go with the scary skelly set, sunset duster set, wolver set, spiral demo set etc). Styles such as snarble would only be appropriate for a single set, and styles like pink or proto wouldn't match anything in particular, which might look a bit garish (unless a few matching armor sets were released). Also, as far as I can tell, Quicksilver, Charged Quicksilver and Mercurial sets already match toasty, heavy and volcanic accessories respectively.
New accessory types, however, I am totally up for.

Remember the Scissors?
1) Crossbow - Callahan
2) Umbrella - Final Flourish
3) Chair - Divine Avenger
4) Floor Tile - Gran Faust
5) Wisp - Barbarous Thorn Shield
6) TV - Grey Owlite Shield
I liked the Levi Scissors...

@ Rommil
Hopefully you didn't take that personally. I was just putting your idea in a more realistic perspective of how the suggestion would likely be realized in-game. I'm sure many would enjoy a plethora of accessory colours but the Artists still need to keep their aesthetic consistent and intact.

Groundbreaker sets as
Groundbreaker sets as featured auctions seems to be on the horizon. At least, that's how I see it.
Also, please (please) buff the troika line, make new gunner armor, more bombs, and LESS accessories! I'd rather have practical stuff than flowers which I can put on my helmets, as nice as they are.
Other suggestions:
-Crown/CE based upgrades to the Guildhall (simulated bossfights? rampant tortodrones? Yes please!)
-A Sparring Ring in the Guildhall, for friendly guild brawls!
-An underlying plot
-East haven? I know the pvp arena isn't there anymore, but maybe we could have...well, anything else?
-An ability to check up on the auction house (without an alternate account)... while you're in the clockworks! 100 CE for 7 days? :P
That's all for now.

@ Levonis
I think you are ignoring personal tastes. I for one, find divine gear on a skolver or regal on a 2* wolver to lack any artistic and/or creative insight. It simply does not match my eye. It's like blah on blah. My costumes all involve contrasting color schemes via accessories. Regal accessories on blue armors. Divine on my ruby mask/red tabard. Prismatic (purple) on my white tabard and quicksilver mask.
Basically, i go for the exact opposite of what you state players want. And why? Because i am an artist, and my vision is different from that of other artists.
To be sure, i don't look down on you or others who believe a flame aura belongs on a vog coat and volc tail belongs on a vog coat etc. I realize that it doesn't REALLY lack imagination or taste, it simply is not what i like. To each their own. That is what rommil meant when he said to think outside the box. He was simply saying to create something unique and all your own, you have to look outside of the cookie cutter sets OOO put together for us.

@ Pawn
I'm not at saying that's what players want, nor that I know what players want. I'm totally in agreement with mixing and matching. Personally, I try to have costumes with x coloured armor and a y coloured helmet. Then I'd put y coloured accessories on my armor and x coloured on my helm. Hopefully that makes sense.
My point still stands that the Artist have an aesthetic in mind which (only currently) includes a set range of colours. Sure, as you say, some people like to put those similar colours together and others like to mix and match like ourselves, but nonetheless the same limited colours remain. If the playerbase had their way, I'm sure armor colour schemes wouldn't include the dusky, unsaturated colours that we have. And without those, the integrity of this game's style would lessen and lose a lot of it's appeal to certain people. My point is more about not always giving the people what they want to keep artistic integrity.
I feel like I'm getting a bit too serious now. I find game aesthetics very important. :P

Bunny ears
Soooo my B-day is next week (feb. 4) and what I would want more then anything else... Bunny ears... or maybe like a bunny themed costume helm.... maybe a bunny themed something. I don't think I can't wait till Easter to satisfy my bunny addiction. I demand Bunnies for my B-day!
If you aren't to busy getting ready for the Superbowl it would make me so happy. : (
Rom make sure you tell them this!
a DA reskinned into Halo's energy sword, but I doubt it would ever happen
even if Rommil requested it
