Not only they relased a new content that is avaliable only to nebws who will spend there 20 minutes of their total SK gamelife but also they are advertising it on the news page every time you log in :

"Save the Rescue Camp
An all-new introductory experience is now avaliable!...."

It appears every time and teases all current players who are not able to redo those missions. Its like slap in face from OOO side, OOO spitting in our face and claiming its raining.

Seriously, whats the point of advertising it in game on news page while the current players cant do it and the all new players appear right in there, so they go trough it anyways?

Is it some kind of propaganda? "Oh look, we did something look at this, LOOK AT THIS, now you cant say we dont relase new content, no matter that its just remake of something that was already in game"

That is what I wrote in the

That is what I wrote in the Patch Notes thread, it doesn't make any sense at all, unless side-characters count to total game population and they are buffing player numbers? (Like the 1 million subscriptions... that doesn't mean there are 1 million players, but 1 million paid accounts, which can be 250k+ players)

As I wrote there, let us do the missions. It won't hurt anyone, it would let us experience those missions, and it would also let us REPLAY them. We can do this with Snarbolax, why not this new boss?

And, why not, let us go back to Rescue Camp without having to teleport to new players! It won't hurt anyone! D:

Still, I would check that thread title... you are these days a bit too aggresive, Asukalan :S

The worst they could do is

The worst they could do is misunderstand our plea. Most of us understand that to attract new players to OOO is something very crucial to SK.
Yes, we can make new knights and kill the boss that way, but like Aumir said it wouldn't let us replay the boss like we can every other boss.

The new boss is a gremlin

The new boss is a gremlin controlling a battlepod, and you pick up a shiny blue power cell thing after you beat him. Your not missing much. Not to mention he will make an appearance later in the story, most likely as a T3 boss.

Or mostly like a Expansion

Or mostly like a Expansion Mission pack that will be available "with purchase" (even if OOO will claim before that it will be buyable with CE) or only for steam players, that will be relased with same lie that we heard again "oh noez, we dont even know if its possible to make expansion pack tradeable within OFFICIAL game client"

I tottaly agree with you.

OOO only want to attract more players, instead of keep them.

"The new boss is a gremlin

"The new boss is a gremlin controlling a battlepod, and you pick up a shiny blue power cell thing after you beat him. Your not missing much. Not to mention he will make an appearance later in the story, most likely as a T3 boss."

That could very easily be included in an optional flashback mission whenever they introduce additional content.

They could even make a whole series of flashback DLC missions that take place prior to the events on Cradle.

Remember the time the Spiral Knights teamed up with the Harlem Globetrotters...

But, for free?

Biggest update by giving wallet or actually FREE content, Rangerwillx? Because Crimson Order make me rage every time I see that "Expansion" button in Mission Mode.

I will have to check those game files again :/

Also, people should stop saying "DLC". There are music files of the Crimson Order in the music folder, so I doubt you download anything more than a key. Which makes me rage even more.

Oh my, I got to chill.

@Aumir

I..don't know. I seriously doubt it will be P2P though. All I can see is the model of something, and I can tell you right now it's awesome.
@OP, why do you play the game if you hate it so badly?

So you big shot players don't

So you big shot players don't want to spend like, 5 mist energy just to make a new knight to see the new levels?

I don't know what to say.

I don't think he hates the game, just the company behind it.

idk why but for some reason, i've seen players who aren't newbs talking about the missions as if they've played it! how is this possible!
lol.

It's not out of reach for the players. Just for your older character.

Nononono, @Dammasta

The problem isn't spending 5 energy, I don't care about that at all, I care that I can't do the missions, and replay them like any other mission. Or going to the new player area, and help newbies, etc. Why must that content be out of our reach?

And why even make an in-game ad about it then???

I don't care if it is a simple boss, if it is five minutes, etc. o_o I don't care even if I don't have crowns to get there!

You know how I dealt with my main not being able to do the rescue camp?
I made an alt. The missions took all of thirty minutes. I would have missed
out on a LOT.

I didn't read anything in

I didn't read anything in your original post asuka because last update you went around whining at everyone for being upset and saying things like have patience and stop whining. You were making fun of everyone who had an issue.

I flat out refuse to listen to yours because you refuse to listen to anyone else.

Also, if you have something to say in reply don't waste your time or bother I won't read it, or return to this thread.

The new mission is to attract

The new mission is to attract more players to the game (and they did a great job with this), Obviously they are gonna try and build a bigger player base as well as make new content.
Asukalan I don't know what your trying to do here... Do you not like the game? Honestly I don't see people complaining as much as you do. If people don't like the game they leave or wait for it to get better. You on the other hand complain and complain, It's like your trying your hardest to make a small company look bad... Even when OOO said that they where gonna do this update, even when they said they are developing new content you still complain.
