Hi,
It's a forums, it's mean to talk!
Not to be some kind of antisocial [self-redacted]. Deal with it!
Actually, there are very rarely new topics here at all. Most of them follow the same 40-50ish templates.
That is, things like:
"Ask Me Anything! I know everything BUT the names of the monsters. But I have the wiki, so it's cool."
"I would like to be redirected to the search bar/Bopp's sword guide for information regarding X weapon. See brandish lines."
"Something about winmillion, 5* weapons, and large numbers/hipsterism"
"Other miscellaneous complaint that OOO does not care about (e.g. regarding Shard bombs, auto aim/UVs/The entirety of lockdown, plate armor, tortodrones, you know, all of the forgotten promises, large flaws in balance, those things.)"
"I'm giving away free money and would like Eurydice to move my thread to the Treasure Vault"
"Pokemon is wonderful and I would like pets."
"I'm Leaving the game and think that people care about me when in reality THERE IS NOTHING"
"I kind of like OOO...."
"Long description of a boss that OOO would tweak to their liking/realism but probably won't use"
"I have found a new thing on the twitter feed. It looks awesome and will have about a 70% chance of disappointing everyone."
"So and so bit me in game! Be wary of this player and give me an infraction for naming and shaming!"
"You know you've played the game too long when... you've seen this thread at least 5 times."
"How do I beat Jelly King/Vanaduke/oh wait, those are all people play."
"OOO hates whatever distinct class I play as and this is terrible."
"I'm going to make a thread so that I can post a link in a single period that Fehzor will clumsily not be able to click on. It will contain awful sounding music."
"Lets discuss massive spoilers."
"I am a fan of X and would like to see Spiral Knights become some sort of awful fan-game based around X. It would be really cool."
"I think that I understand the rules of the forum, and would like to explain them to everyone that is new, despite very few people that are actually new coming here."
"Nonsensical thread intended to troll/amuse people that makes me feel clever. Not actually a discussion."
"Likewise, Post spam here! [FORUM GAME]"
"I have a question for the devs and think that I am important enough to ask someone a question and receive an answer, dramatically and in public."
Or if you're me- "I have a question for the devs, not because I expect them to answer it, but because I have no faith in the suggestion forum and don't want to actually suggest something."
"I'm important because I own a podcast/lets-play/whatnot, but fail to realize how small the playerbase is, and have overestimated the demand of my product."
"I created some part of a fandom regarding spiral knights and would like to share it."
"I created a bad looking video regarding some part of spiral knights and would like to share it."
"I am mystified by the concept of someone holding a job at what is essentially a helpdesk, and want to show my zeal for these "GMs" by writing them a poem/hitting on them/finding their secret guild/pretending to be stuck and summoning them."
"Vanity thread regarding X"
"So does anyone even know whats happening with the lore of Spiral Knights? And where did this Desna character that makes me go through the worst possible levels for epeen come from? Why are we all opening boxes containing hair products? Skylark? Isora? Swarm? Is Bosco a woman?????"
Welp, that just about covers everything.
You win the internet!
people listen to your requests
forums die
guys i hope youre happy now
Dare I say, that these 'silly' topics are here because this game is in fact silly, in equal measure.
In fact at risk of upsetting politically correct GMs, I will sharpen my language to say that truly stupid design elements are present in the game, and this is generally upsetting to people who care about the game. So before you get upset. I am writing this for your/our own good.
The rants are a result of people feeling lured in to a gaming environment where they have invested time and energy, beyond CE, to make their lives better. Yet silly errors and inconsistencies persist, by design! Just as in the real world (something we all want to escape) we suffer and eventually rebel against oblivious or careless governments or parents, which create or fail to remedy obvious problems.
Take for example:
- The fact that an AA button exists at all. Arguably 'a play better button'. Players invest time to hone their aim, and others get their aim computer assisted. Stupid or what? And despite widespread calls for its removal, it persists. OOO are you also deaf?
- The fact that there is absolutely no attempt to balance weapons and armours. Take armours. Some have no bonuses, others have +1 or +2 bonuses, but some have +6 (Chaos) or +10 (Black Kat), WTF?.
- Polaris, a no skill trolling weapons that clearly annoys people more than it pleasures them, is the most powerful gun in the game. How stupid...
- 8 people waiting for Lockdown, the game will not start until >30 secs after 12 people are in the queue. Now given that 4v4 games happen all the time, this will potentially leave 4 people waiting for a game... This has to be a deliberate wind-up. For every LD game we have to wait 1-2mins to look at a score board and spend CE on krogmo, WTF you trolls!
I could go on, but actually all of this and more has been covered in the other 'silly' threads. Fehzor, you've done a great job of compiling the templates, but lets be clear, silliness will prevail as long as stupidities remain.
Quik, how exactly do you add up Chaos' bonuses to get a sum of +6? I can get +4, or +42 (splitting each bonus each way for each weapon and family, if you want to overdo it), but not 6.
Aureate - Minor point (as in missing the big picture) but correct!
+2 sword dmg, +2 gun dmg, +2 bomb dmg
+2 sword ctr, +2 gun ctr, +2 bomb ctr. ok +12... hell that is even more stupid!
Contri, would you care to elaborate? :D
There has been silly forum posts for a long time now. I think a year has past.
