I find this game great

It is missing a detail that most games include to make it perfect

New gear

Do we ever get new swords? Can't we even just get a new helmet? I like this game but I counted up the amount of 5* weapons and it was estimated to "60" There aren't much weapon combinations you can make with that many weapons, it may sound like a lot but this game needs new weapons

Make them monthly? I'd think this game is perfect if you guys just made updates including new gear

The only times I can think of you ever adding ways to get new gear is OCH and honor gear and I'm not talking about costumes

Well.

The last new big release of fresh "everyone can get it" gear that I can remember are the Shadow Lair crafts from October 2011.

While new gear would be nice, we should balance the gear we currently have FIRST, before adding new broken gear into the mess.

I agree with my Clone.

You can design a new super cool armor or weapon.
But can you think of something unique for it besides the look? To make people desire it over Skolver and toothpicks ( :P )?

Be happy with costumes. Or bring down the clones.

New gear would be great but you could have typed this in a different way.

There was no Flourish or Snarble Barb at the time of the game's launch. So yes, it does occasionally get new gear.

Surely there is some weapon or gear piece that you have yet to craft? Each new piece you attain adds something to the game, that much is certainly true.

Why does it have to be new? And you're about to get pets, which are essentially new weapons.

There's only one line for

There's only one line for swordies, wolver
One for gunners, gunslinger
One for bombers, demo

Could we possibly bring in some more choices for the arbitrary player.

Then I can't wait for them to accept my bow and crossbow and gel and wave weaponry. Though I suppose they aren't that liked : (

+1 for the BOW !!!

Longer press to shoot far and strong, short pushes to take down nearest enemies ...

It would be delightful with my X360 controller ! <3

We didn't start the fire....

Have you crafted everything in this game that you can craft? Do you have EVERY single helm, armor, shield, sword, gun, bomb, and trinket that exists within this game? Exactly. We don't need new items right now ( even though we really want them). What we need is to balance all the EXISTING gear. And then new content. (*cough* sleep and tortodrones *cough*) We really need new content. And after all that is said and done? Then perhaps new gear and weapons will arise.

I agree somewhat with Magnicth. Except for one thing. If you can balance things and add new content at the same time, that's really good.

Crown payouts, for example. Adding a new way of getting more crowns out of the average Clockworks level would be great, since it'd encourage running more Clockworks. Of course, people will still be going back to FSC for Mission Progress, token rewards, the fun factor involved in sucking enormous mobs of Slags into a vortex (try it, it's fun!), the fact that they only ever made gear for FSC, and other such reasons... and the fact that, with less folks farming it, FSC would be more profitable for the savvy auction-house mastermind, since not everyone is farming and getting the seals for the much-coveted Dark Embers.

I've thought of a few ways to boost the Clockworks... I've got two such suggestions in the works right now, in fact!

Anyway, as far as new gear goes, I remember hearing Nick tweeted about something to do with Kat gear... and before that, the facebook post about the Black Kat with "Oh, THAT dark ritual" as the caption. HOLY MACKEREL GUYS THEY'RE ADDING MORE STUFF TO MOORCROFT... Speaking of the Holy Mackerel, use it to find Dead Ringer Spies, or as part of a set bonus, or just to get a FISH KILL!

...wow. I went WAAAAAAY off topic.

last new sword

The last new sword was Warmaster Rocket Hammer, in the OCH expansion...last March or so?

In the months after Spiral Knights launched, there were many gear introductions. Three piercing swords were added. Brandish got upgrades beyond 2-star. The introduction of GWW, IMF, PvP, and Shadow Lairs brought additional new gear. It's only natural that the pace of introduction would slow down, as Spiral Knights matures. But we are a bit overdue, I agree.
