You know how Wolvers are fast and stuff? What if OOO added a Movement Speed Increase bonus on every Wolver set.
Or what of they gave Branishes ANOTHER buff and gave them the ability to inflict status on normal swings.
Come up with ways OOO would troll us (try to keep it so that it makes a little bit of sens)
Troika line charge was deemed too powerful. The first hit now deals knockback and the second hit deals status. Second "hit".
Spur now upgrades to 5* Polar Star. Unfortunately, the Polar Star is worse than the Spur.
Iron Slug now causes Sleep with charge! Unfortunately, the recoil is so powerful there's a random chance of self-inflicted status.
You and your team mates being affected by your haze bombs. Trollface.JPEG
~The Mighty WeeGee
Leaving gunners pigeonholed into making shadow defense to hardcap maximum! damage while leaving 101 ways to boost ASI..... owait?
~Luke
Whenever you finish an FOV combo you get set on fire for holding it too close to yourself.
To reduce lag they are taking away the expanding bullets in polaris to resemble the blasts from Catalyzer.
Give Spiral Demo Suit a Shadow-Protective Line, resembling Skelly Gear.
The kicker?
Has Skelly's Retro Fire Weakness.
Buffing range on Flourish line swords.
Troika line charge's second "hit" affects you like it affects enemies.
Dread Venom Striker randomly poisons one of your slots (read: snacks), causing you to lose health when attempting to use it.
Any bomb and friendly fire.
Mercurial pieces now give Movement Speed Increase: High per piece (trolled wolver armies)
Talisman of Twisted Fate (trolled Suggestions board)
Dual Wield Proto gear only
Fallen Armor being equivalent to Gunslinger+Wolver but having a WEAKNESS (GASP!) and a HUGE penalty to fiends.
Sudaruska Being the Biggest and slowest sword has its Combo of swinging itself (Bigger then most knights) interrupted by a piddly poke from a stick.
Sudaruska being slower, heavier, and MADE for knockback; yet has the same knockback as the faster, stronger, TYPED damage counterparts: DA and GF.
Flourish having a swipe as a first swing. Same knockback as a Heavy sword.
Ionized Salt bomb.
Big Angry Bomb. Its the only things that its name really rings true for is the BIG hole in your wallet (From CE revs) the ANGER from how Sucky it is, and the fact that it is a BOMB.
Wolver being the "Only" option for Swordies. You "Suck" for not optimizing.
.................Thats all I can think of atm.
Not only am I famous, but I inspire Hipster...ness... Yeah.
~Tsu
;P I think it was more of theoretical trolling, but yes.
unrelated : I really want to make a Justifier set, but I keep prioritizing my CE for other things because my Fallen set works just the same until I get to 5* (and for my swords too!).
OOO is giving gunners a mobile pierce gun: By changing the damage type of Polaris to pierce.
Big Angry Bomb explosion animation changed to a trollface, reminding you how you wasted your CE.
Changing the damage type of RSS to shadow, so it will match it's counterpart.
Enabling the Flourish lines to emit shockwaves with the first swing, doubling their range.
Giving gun bullets homing capabilities.
DBB now summons a snarbolax to fight against you with each explosion set off.
Giving us the pro to helm, body, sword and gun but not the bomb >:o
Y u no liek bombs?
OOO forcing players to choose personal color and proto armor before you ever play the game. Then making personal color mostly independent of the color of your proto armor--i.e. u can be green personal color and choose a red pith helm/armor. Thus the new player is unaware that every other gear on the game is gonna be based on their personal color. Thus a huge majority of the player base chooses a personal color they will later regret, only they have so much time invested it doesn't make sense to start over. Then not adding a change color to the game for another year or so. Then making it too expensive for a vast amount of players. That's kinda trollish.
OOO Making a sweet new Dark Retribution bomb. Then realizing, holy sh*t, only swords can be overpowered so they relentlessly over nerf the DR. Perfect fix, now the DR sucks as bad as all the other bombs!!!! That was close. Did i mention it was our only real dps shadow bomb, and bombers across the cradle shelled out real $$ just to finally get a shadow dps bomb? Bad bombers!!!!!!-->u don't bomb!!!!!-->now be a good little knight and buy a wolves clone and Acheron or GF!!!!!-->that is the only way u are allowed to be ridiculously overpowered!!!!--- /rant
P.S. We''ll leave the sword (hammer) overpowered though...nothing to see here, move along.
OOO giving drastically different customer service for different players. Some players can get accessories unbound, everyone else can't. Some can get UV's accidentally rolled over replaced reversed, everyone else can't. Some players can get items sniped by the arms appropriation replaced, everyone else can't. Some players spend godly amounts of $$$ on rolling uv's then threaten to quit, then show up with the UV the were hopefully rolling for...others are just S-O-L. <---all speculation based on overwhelming circumstantial and anecdotal evidence.
OOO only putting 8 items on the featured AH, on a loop.
OOO binding all bombheads on acquiring them. Not allowing the ability to level gear in PvP. Thus saying if u want a chance to actually make profit and advance in the game you have to play clockworks. Fix: if you get a repeat of a bombhead u've already one, the repeated bombhead comes unbound. Seems silly some people have 3 bound fiery/shocky/frosty bombheads, some people will never win one.
OOO everytime a patch is released they could send us in game mail directing us to check out the patch notes on the website, and at the same time make the website temporarily unavailable.
OOO celebrating 1 year anniversary with....THAT!
OOO not releasing new content until 1/2 year into the game...and it's t1!! Have fun storming the castle kids.
P.S. Good news, a new rescue camp boss is being rumored! That will like 30 minutes of play time for us!!!!!
OOO new endgame content FINALLY, did we mention we are locking you out of it with shadow keys!! Enjoy!!! LITERALLY LOCKING YOU OUT OF IT!!!! BTW you can buy them for the special introductory price of 1500 ce. Special introductory price is over...SURPRISE by special introductory price we meant a mark up!!!! THey are now 1350 ce.
OOO find all these wonderful items in lock boxes!!!!!!!!!!! None of the wonderful items are found lockbox. SURPRISE new featured auctions selling all the wonderful items that were advertised in boxes!!!!!!!!
OOO NEW endgame content...but u have to buy it. (I gladly bought it). You've waited a year for it...but you can't have it unless u are allowed to spend $$$ on the game (if your not an adult).
^^
All that said, i love spiral knights and OOO has made a great game. But the thread asks for trollish acts, and they all fit the bill.
<3 you OOO
Find extremely rare set of 4* armour, wear it proudly. Couple patches later rare armour set becomes available to everyone via boss token.
To add insult to injury, you have to spend an additional 2.4k CE + 75k CR (recipes) to craft the now common armour set to 5* in order to gain old attributes back.
Oh, wait a second, that actually happened to me :'( (still crying like a little schoolgirl)
I think I win the arsenal troll thread.
Ooooooohhhh i forgot that. You know i feel for you on that one. You'll always be the first owner to me!!!

The FF is not fast enough.
The wolver line needs a variant with shock resist.
strikers die too fast in LD, needs more health.
RSS has too much range.
Pulsar bullets are too slow
Every heavy sword but the troika is too slow.
Bombs are too good in LD, -CTR on all classes
The owlite line needs freeze resistance
/makes 5* spur >>>> removes slash projectiles from winmillion and 5*
What is sad is that I could see OOO doing most of the things described in this thread.
OOO does not know how to balance a game and they are JUST NOW listening to the players for once.
In LD you can hold you charge attack while striker ing
Gran Faust cursing the user on its second swing could be one way.
