i think there should be a 6 star weapons category for all your tier 3.5 runs, this category of weapons would be extremely op (4 to 5 times stronger then their 5 star version) with a crafting cost of 1600ce and 10000cr to craft and can only be crafted by the sanctuary alchemy machine . they can only be used in tier 3.5 (shadow lairs and firestorm citadel) , they can't be used in pvp or any other missions/depths
6 star weapons
I was about to say "never even read the post; no."
But I did, to be fair.
I want to just leave it at "no", but I just could not escape from "would be extremely op".
Never, ever, ever make a suggestion if even you can admit, in the suggestion post, that it would be OP.
No.
In fact, the fact that you even considered this, and suggested that they be OP, I'm going to emphasise my point by saying it again.
No.
We have found common ground. This idea reeks of NO.
HOORAY for have a shared opinion. /hi-fives
Extra programming pain should NEVER be a reason as to why a good suggestion shouldn't be added. Programmers are here for a reason.
That said, this idea is wrong on every other level, and isn't a good one.
We, Spiral Knights, need nerfing not overpowering us with more overpowered weapons to make us much more overpowered than we are overpowered right now.
/closes the thread and continues his researches
" extremely op (4 to 5 times stronger then their 5 star version) "
" they can only be used in tier 3.5 (shadow lairs and firestorm citadel) "
As if SL and FSC where that hard... Why dont you suggest a WIN button too.
That pretty much sums it up. SL's can be unbalanced in some situations, but it doesn't require more might to overcome, it requires being more careful than usual. FSC is simply not hard.
Clearly when I said that I read the post, I was wrong; I saw the "6 times stronger than 5*" and just zoned out, apparently...
" they can only be used in tier 3.5 (shadow lairs and firestorm citadel) "
T3.5? FSC is in T3...
Besides, half the point of SLs being difficult is that the mobs are harder than T3; if we had megaweapons that could onehit everything including the bosses then...it'd defeat the point?
And not being able to use them outside of that would be...pointless....no one'd even bother...
God, imagine a Blitz that rattles out 20k+ damage (and I guess it also inflicts poison, fire, shock and death?)....
implying that it deals 20k damage also pertains to not living anymore, yes
Vana could totes tank a 20k hit~
He's a champion like that~
S'why he's da' Lord!
I simply meant that the programmers could make better use of their time...
this category of weapons would be extremely op (4 to 5 times stronger then their 5 star version)
this category of weapons would be extremely op
extremely op
Why would someone..in their right mind...suggest something and blatantly say in the suggestion that it will be extremely OP?
Like really, not sure if troll (you know the rest).

There's a time and a place for everything, and that includes intentionally overpowered weapons or attacks. You kids old enough to remember Omnislash?
That said, once again, this is not the place nor the time for it.
Automatic -1 because of your explaination and other reasons on why Spiral knights never puts Tier 4 or Tier 3.5
tier 3.5 is just a term to describe people who solo FSC in proto set, it's not a actual place to be implemented
This was a very useful and much needed two cents to the discussion. I'm glad it was posted, right down to the silly signature.
T3.5 I believe he is referring to Strata 6. This is unnessicary, as 5 star equipment is for strata 6, 4 star equipment for strata 5, all the way down to 0 star equipment which are used for strata 1.
You kids old enough to remember Omnislash?
Counter points: that fit into the game dynamic, the game had bosses that count tank dozens of those "OP" attacks (turning them from OP to nigh necessary), and the game was not an MMO.
Sure, OP attacks can fit in places, but this is mostly certainly, and very obviously not one of those times. Suggesting an OP weapon in an MMO should be pretty obvious even when typing that it should simply not be posted.
Did someone say a win button...?
YES!
I want it. lets do it.
lol...
Yes, that's exactly my point XP
That OP attacks can fit into places, but that this isn't one of those times.
Basically, the points of almost everybody above is that I'd be saying.
Have you ever heard of a 6 star hotel? No.
Actually, there are such things as 6* hotels.
Including 6* items in the game, however, particularly when the OP has mentioned that they will be ridiculously overpowered and only usable in specific situations which most people will never care about, is stupid. In addition, most of those who wish to have such powerful weapons won't be able to craft them, since they're only obtainable and usable at Shadow Lairs - the whole point of which, I may add, is to add a fresh and unique challenge, not to have weapons that pulverise enemies in a single hit. If you then scaled up enemy difficulty and health to match the increase in damage, that would be even worse; let's liken it to having to kill stratum 4 enemies with 1* and 2* weapons. Have fun opening your sealed lockbox with the key inside!
You are essentially asking people to turn perfectly good gear into something both useless and nigh-impossible to get.
There are not enough words for how much I -1 this idea.
/clap
Try thinking your idea through a bit more, then we'll talk.
As you can see, you've necroed your own dead thread.
As you're talking to people who have forgotten, and or, quit, this is not a valid move to do.
This will also cause you to be the ire of all the suggestion regulars.
Goodbye and good luck on what ever suggestion you're doing.
@Aotr
I'm really sorry Aotr >.> But as everyone mentioned above, its just not..............really......you know. Nonetheless, thank you for your suggestion ^^
Softhead, I see what you mean but I think the sixth stratum weapons should only express its power in the Shadow Lair because the five stars have difficulty to deal with the void infected mutants due to their buffness and extreme defense.
But that makes it easy.
Reson for SL is for the Players who hunger for harder levels.
This is crazy! The core would have to be moved to depth 40, there would be a Tier 4, 6 & 7* weapons and a subtown at depth 38. It would also be a huge pain to program and create op, Tier 4 monsters and people who have reach the core, would be very put out
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

Pretty much everyone here has made their point. You don't need to leave another comment saying that this is a bad idea.
May I also point out that by doing so, you put this thread on the front page. Personally, when something is on the front page, it should be (a) a fresh idea, or (b) a popular idea. We get it, no one likes this Idea. If you want to say basically the same thing, you don't need to post it.
Now could someone bury this thread in the graveyard already?
I'll take your advice Super-Ratman. I just noticed and wanted to say something about it.
Where do I even begin...
1. Extra programming pain
A lot of people are looking forward to new material in the game, such as Operation Crimson Hammer part 2 (check other thread). Would you really want OOO to spend a long time to code this? Especially making it only used in tier 3.5 (think you meant stratum 6) which was never done before, what would be the point?
2. OP much?
4 or 5 times the strength of a 5star... That's around a 1-hit KO for slags, and such... again, OP
It would ruin the entire game, 6 stars would completely unbalance the game
