I hope the boss part will give me a run for my crowns
What I enjoyed about this mission was the scenery. Of all places, an Undercity level has become my favorite depth just so that I can stare at the map until my heart's content. That audience part, I felt like I was in a coliseum. It was a frabjous feeling seeing that there. Spiral Knights needs more scenery <3
Scenery is EVERYTHING in a game. I luuvvvv snowww ~

Then finally when players from non-US timezone will log in into game (WOW THERE ARE players from other timezones than US?) the new prestige mission will be not avaliable for them since it will switch to next one and they will have to wait .... 48 HOURS to play it! CANT WAIT FOR IT WOHO!

How nice...
Looks like my coworkers will have a fabulous time smashing you Knights to pieces. Wait... how dare they use my labridoodles to fight Knights in Maulos's cage match?! That fiend! Maulos will pay for using my little precious puppies in his cult! A few days away and he thinks he can use my pets as servants! Hmph!!!

@Asukalan
Thank you for telling us that there are players outside of the US time zones, because it hasn't occurred to anyone. You are truly inspiring and a model to how everyone should act.

Oh Undercorper, what a fool you are.
My lord Maulos has lured your little puppies in his game trough pure charisma and much better leadership abilities than yours, you mistreating so-called "leader".
Yes they have Saturday off.

Blah blah blah, TIDAL WAVE!
So i'm guessing the bomb update (which I will call "The Explosive Update") won't happen until next week or week after... It'd be really nice to know the fate of my precious RSS. Oh well, the danger missions should keep me busy until then. Keep up the good work!

Unfortunately I have to agree with Asukalan. Some of us can't wait all night because they have a job.
Now I won't get to play this till next Saturday... -.-

Excuse me, Tersacough...
I love my coworkers- that's why I work them for their own good. Have you NOT seen our CEO?! I make them work to let them LIVE. For crying out loud, He almost ate me when I said I was retiring for a while!
And I love you too, Nick! I hope you're not as menacing to your employees as our CEO is... Tersakaff just doesn't understand...
...
P.S. Maulos was a mean one, I'll tell you that. We put him under Anger Management for decimating our yoga teacher. Yes, we love yoga as we love racing.

SLOOMS ATT- Oh wait, slooms are not in this game...YET!

I assure you, Maulos is very polite and professional towards your former coworkers, who have chosen to serve him themselves, not lured in by... any amount of money, free time, or silly things like that..., but trough Maulos' pure charisma and leader skills.
No worries, he is much better than your CEO, a very ugly fellow that one, for the record, and that was a total accident which won't happen again. Unless you get another... disgusting yoga teacher, to say so. He had his reasons.

#20
Oh Tersakaff...
Maulos has more of a tendency to give people the cold shoulder or give people a cold stare than welcome people with his chilling demeanor. He's quite the fiend, I have to say, but not the warm-hearted being you speak of. Coworkers are considered lucky to speak to him without him lugging his oversized icicle in his grasp. His looks may be of ice, but he has a heart of stone and fiery rage, kindled within a hollow, emotionless chasm of frost...

FALCON PUNCH!
Yes, But I'm always there to cheer him up with my fresh Fiery Falcon Punch cookies :-D

#22
Undercorper, I believe you have no way of obtaining such information, blasphemer!
He is a kind, charming and handsome leader, not the cold yet fiery being you make him seem! He is simply professional. Showing a warm, welcoming nature to your sl- err, employees is complete nonsense! You must be strong and demanding towards them, while still keeping their needs in mind, unlike your fool of a CEO! Working them like horses with little pay and no free time cannot be covered by no warm attitude towards them. This is why Maulos is much better of a leader, and why they've come to us.

Is Maulos a devilite?
I know the perma-frostifur is a wolver and the frozen soul is a ice edition of the lost soul, but what about Maulos?
Also, the new mission is just TARGET PRACTICE for me...when I finishes updating D:

Maulos is essentially an ice trojan with vanas AI, not a devilite.
Hes on the picture for the mission card.

Of course, Gingermace!
Yet he still seems to have a workforce.
By the way, Tersakaff, you sound exactly like his lawyer from the third lawsuit. Before he died. Of hypothermia. With an icicle.
I still don't know why you protect him, since in the end you kill him for only 180 Prestige points.
See those frozen souls? He looked at them while they were still alive. Before they died.
Now, back to reading up on Dracula...

Sounds like a pretty good update. (in b4 rage of nonsense) I'll certainly try it just for the scenery, as pointed out, if not actually an attempt to finish it.
And I'm late but @Asuka Deal with it.
@Undercorper
Tell your workers to go easy on me for once? I don't want to waste another 320 rev ;_;

@Diamondshreddie
The reason
@Diamondshreddie
The reason is because OOO boarded up the bomb factory to hide from the massive angry hoard of bombers that dislike the new RSS changes.
We would however like those BAB/ITB buffs and possibly a shadow damage ISB if it keeps the projectile mechanics.

Wow, what a surprise, fianlly
Wow, what a surprise, fianlly logged on after 10 hours of failed downloading. Client download was either stuck on 93% or was showing enormous download time.
And when i logged on, no new mission. Great another failed update. Not only many players (who got striked down by OOO lack of care for all players, instead of choosen one) lost chance to do new prestige mission and have to wait 60 hours for it (while others could do it right away) but also everyone who could log in got extra 180 prestige (they could do prestige mission before reboot and do it after reboot before end of day).

There were a few places in
There were a few places in this mission where I felt that my death was cheap- knocked back onto spikes, lag causing me to walk onto ice pits, etc.
And yet, I happily spent the energy for three revives, just so that I could be sure to read all the memos. Hopefully we'll see a lot more devilite lore in the future!

I found the nearly constant harassment from Frozen Souls cheap and that one room where all the howlitzers die and charge at you when all the enemies you are suppose to kill die. Otherwise would be nice to see Three Rings make an attempt at giving 1 or 2 new missions per month or possibly expand our clockworks in some form that isn't a money wall. (Shadow Lairs)

I'm pretty sure that the howlitzers charging you is a very unintended, yet hilarious effect of when they die, they shoot a missle at you.

Oh Yukarie and Sppw...
Yukarie, they always do that. And I am glad you enjoy it. The truth is, they love you. So don't move as they come to hug you. Explosively. Remember, Howlitzers love you and will never attempt to stab you. Sort of. Not really. Just get back to work.
Sppw, if you have a sword, gun, or bomb, and my subordinates are throwing office supplies, I'm afraid you're not their coworker...
Oooo YAY my Epeen will get bigger
