I got feedback last week that people wanted an Official discussion thread for each release. Let me know whether you think this works out.
Patch notes are here. Discuss!

Damien, it's more of a mercy
Damien, it's more of a mercy rule than anything else, especially with the new scoring system.

I'm told the maps are being shy at the moment, and it's being investigated. Sorry about that!

I'm actually kinda glad
I'm actually kinda glad stadium is still in th works, means that more exciting things are yet to come ;) BTW did Crazy change any of the spike traps in downtown? I looked at the picture on facebook and it still looks all the same

@Jennytheturtle
The changes were minor, but I did change some of the spike traps based on the preview feedback:
- Removed some spike traps that created spaces that were not ideal to fight in
- Moved some spikes away from the team bases - specifically, the ones that originally lead to the center are now shifted to the south, opening up the straight rush to the center somewhat, but still making it difficult for the opposing team to flank the southern CPs

Nice about the brand-new maps going out, you devs...
But I've got a few questions in mind. Weren't there actually three new maps on the Test build before downtime? I've read about them, but didn't get to participate in the Test Server yet. I heard that the two new maps, Downtown and Gardens, are live, but what about the third map, Stadium? Is the new map still in the works, Eurydice? Crazyoddbaa? Will it be ready very soon? I'm just being accurate. I'm sure someone can answer. Oh, by the way, what will be next on the line of new things coming to Spiral Knights real soon?

Stealth Patch Found!
The servers were renamed from US East and EU West to USA and Europe

+1 to everything in general.
Also, I think its a neat little challenge to find the stealth patches... They can't remember EVERY little thing they change, and so its bound to happen... x3

@Tsu
Ah, but depending on your point of view, that could either be an inconsequential oversight or an insidious plot to undermine player agency and squeeze even MORE money from the player base.
Regardless...is this thread stickied?

Tinfoil hats, YAY! ^-^
Yeah, it is how you look at it... And I choose to see it as just something that was too small, or they just forgot was there. It is just a small group of developers and the like. They are people too! :3

New maps are a great change of pace. Gardens is nice and easy on the eyes. Haven't made an opinion on the new scoring system yet, but bravo on the new maps!

Okay cool, thanks for the
Okay cool, thanks for the reply Crazy :)
BTW! To everyone asking about stadium, I'm sure there's more working that crazyoddbaa is putting into it because there were a few things here and there. I agree, I really did enjoy the map but some of the things I thought should be changed because they gave players too much of an advantage or disadvantage.

I still don't understand why
I still don't understand why we lost the ability to "escape" out of dialogues like Vana's. It seems that the change that took "escape" away made all kinds of new problems to fix. And that are being fixed the hard way, like by restructuring levels... I dunno, seems like a lot of fixing what wasn't broken.
We should really be able to run out the full time limit on lockdown, early endings are just not fair to teams that might kick into high gear and suddenly win it.
