Hello dear people, you might hopefully remember this: forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/19009

"King Krogmo’s Coliseum officially opens today, and the first of many events, Blast Network, is available to play."

"...and there’s more to come!
King Krogmo has dedicated the entire season to new Coliseum events! Expect to see regular updates with exciting new events, rewards and Coliseum features."

Excuse me, but where are / were they? And what's finally about adding matchmaking and fixing bugs which are more than a year in Lockdown? (for example the Loadout change bug) The PVP part is probably for many people still the only reason to play this game, so I think it wouldn't be wrong to give it more love after 2 long years, I also thought last year about it (no Blast Network or Lockdown celebration? Okay, I think that says much). And I don't believe that the new Lockdown maps in the past are seriously the called "events".

Thanks in advance.

Still waiting for a PvP update.

All the PvP updates got locked up alongside everything else. Balancing, PvE and PvP content are seemingly all located in a hidden vault that no one can ever open. Ever.

Coming from someone who's been here since about March 2011, I don't know why I still have my hopes up. Not counting guildhalls [which are only aesthetic, save for nuking CE prices], the Katastrophe [which wasn't fun for good reasons- it was fun to meet a personal goal so you could say 'thank god I never have to deal with this again' and nothing more], and the RSS changes [which was an insanely stupid update in its entirety, from the reasoning behind it to the UV ticket abuse], I can't remember the last time we got an actual content update.

Well, save for that one update that buffed Volcanic Bomber, but that was more depressing if anything because it shows that they CAN balance things and HAVEN'T.

I just hope they've had all this stuff done and on the shelves because of the upcoming skills-er, ahem, Battle Sprites update, to accommodate for the massive need for rebalance and redesign that would follow. Which would be all fine and dandy if we didn't already have a massive need for rebalance and redesign.

How long will it take?

Matchmaking is about the only thing I could ever hope for LD.

Unbalanced game? Bleh. Unbalanced game I can set up a match with my friends only? Hell that alone would be the best thing to ever happen to lockdown even if nothing was ever done to balance the game.

People would have a buttload more fun playing a broken game if they could play casually with people they enjoy being around instead of the downright asinine attitudes you can encounter in random matches.

There, fixed your comma splice. Anyway, why the hell people would even want the PvP in the first place is beyond me. It always attracts the worst of the internet kid scum.

ban AA?

@quandasim
ban AA? some of us use arrow keys and its so annoying when u cant hit som1 because they're in a position where u cant hit them. i only use the arrow keys because its either that or the touch pad :/

I use arrow keys too, but I realised that you don't really need AA to hit people with toothpick or GF/DA, they have 180 degrees range so you must be TOO bad at pressing right arrow keys not to hit people with those weapons.
But still, it is much harder to aim than mouse users, though for me, MOUSE IS IMPOSSIBLE.
brandish, Toothpicks combo, hammer dash are very hard without AA for arrow key users, indeed. (In PvE it's easy but not in PvP since ppl move way faster than zombies and stuff)

Guns? Oh hey, didn't you know that you can only face 8 directions (compared to mouse, 360 degrees)? c:
Polaris spam...well...

If/when OOO releases a new Lockdown playlist, you can definitely expect a whole wave of old retired players to come back into the game. This causes OOO more money made because they'll have to buy trink slots, and maybe new gear, giving them more $$$.

Anything Lockdown related that gets added into the game will let us have more hope that Lockdown isn't being ignored. Because there hasn't been a huge update in Lockdown since it came out. (New maps aren't considered a huge update)

-1v1 playlists - 1v1 leaderboards for the playlists
-Custom games - invite only options - disable CE revives & Auto Target

OOO, we can only try so hard to get your attention, just some feedback about what may be happening regarding Lockdown would be enough for me. But like I said, Lockdown hasn't been improved, or tweaked, or anything really, since it came out. I think the waiting game goes on when it comes to updates on Lockdown. It's been what, 14 months w/o any new LD content, I wouldn't be surprised if nothing new comes to LD by the end of 2013.

I understand that OOO is under-staffed, and they are working on other things, nor is this a rage-filled comment, I'm airing my thoughts and saying what's true.

It's great to see that I'm not alone with my opinion, thanks for all the posts! One another proof that PVP doesn't get much love was also this: forums.spiralknights.com/de/node/62895 and this forums.spiralknights.com/de/node/63039:

"Heart power ups no longer spawn in Blast Network"

That took one year, and I'm sure it got reported much more ealier.

My wishes for the future are also that people which leave often a PVP game everytime (maybe 2 or 3 times in a row) get in any case a penalty, a small PVP cooldown time or higher Coliseum Crowns costs should be great (for example entering costs 1000 crowns, if you ragequit you will lose them, if you stay in the game until the end, you get at least the 800 crowns back. The price goes down if you keep playing without any ragequit or a fixed time is over).

That teams get finally a buff if teammates leave the game. I believe that this is seriously needed, especially if there are 2 vs 4 games. The buffs are increased damage, faster capturing time, and maybe also (at least a little bit) higher damage protection. The one player vs four anothers would finally have a chance against them.

In my head I had also an idea about a new PVP mode which is similar to 2D Counter-Strike. I could write so much more now, but oh well

There are so many opportunities to make this game better, it's sadly a shame that of these 5 million Spiral Knights accounts are maybe only 0,1% active (my rated stat). It has a reason.

And of course sorry for my amusing English.

My "raw" idea for a

My "raw" idea for a matchmaking system:

You play as always, but in the background the stats from the game are collected. These does affect the damage you do, the amount of people you defeat, the captures you do and the defends. Also the matchmaking system records if someone has great UVs on some items, and if he / she is using them a lot (is probably harder to implement, but not unimportant). In Counter-Strike Global Offensive Valve uses skill groups to judge you, and I have seen that it's working mostly really perfect, I was impressed. I think it's a good idea if the system here gives you after an amount of games a skill group too. The skill group can change, for example if you lose all the time against people which have a lower skill group than you. Probably the skill group will have an other name here in this game, the copyright monster looks around. Random unfair teams should be the past!

This thread will be probably forgotten until a random poster posts in 2014 something here (and necro insults follow), and after 2 years there are probably still no significant changes to PVP. I get the feeling that life is too short to care about this game... Hello other games
