Maybe I'm only dreamer, but i think, it's have much chances to be introduced ....devs only must want that.
So, SK have much links with steam. When independent and not well know games (Like Faerie Solitaire O.o, 1k steam activity) have their own cards, why game like SK cannot have it?
It would repay, to You, devs ;) and i would love to set Spiral Knights background on my Steam profile... ^__^
What do you think people? ~Mtax
I don't like what the FAQ says about F2P games. "pay $9 for a single card drop", while some cheap paid games offer multiple cards for less than that.
http://steamcommunity.com/tradingcards/faq
If this was added obviously there would be a card for each boss, for all the special mobs (impostocube,rock jelly,a maybe that one scuttle bot glitch.)
Thats point of f2p Steam cards. If that will not be - everyone would have it, will be alt hell and cards would be costless.
Unlocking card drop is single-pay, isn't it?
I'd like to get some SK cards, but I don't really plan on spending much on F2P games, so I don't really see myself getting too far on this one.
Rather no, all games are connected by pay > time, so...
... at it is, it could give us lover ce prices ^__^""
They should make all cards be accessible through buying things IRL, and some achievements. Like you can get a nontradeable Snarb card for completing the SL for him.
This would be a good thing, as this would get more people to buy CE there by lowering the cost of CE, and making the game better for both the devs, and players.
Non tradeable trading card. Screw logick. ^__^
I rather would see something like... hmm... all/some achievements/sl bosses/sausage = Few % bigger chance for foiled cards (The rare one), but thats not really needed thing and this is too much diffrent than other cards drops.
Or...
They could be an unique drop for Steam players when they do certain options. These could be UV'd at Punch to change it to another card with 1% chance of it being a good one so that Oo0 earns money.

I think cards should use the standard f2p system.I don't think valve will make a new card system just for spiral knights. changing the topic, maybe there can be 2 different series of cards. one for cards of players with diffrent sets i.e. wolver knight, cobalt knight etc. and another set with the different kinds of monsters i.e. fiend, monster, gremlin etc.
I don't think, that making items on sets will be good idea, because it will turn into forum cry aka "Y U DIDNT MADE MAD BOMBER CARDS!?" "Y U DIDNT MADE ANOTHERXOTHERNOOBISARMOR!?!?!!!?". I would prefer (beware my originality!) boss cards, for the first 4 ones. Next ones could be monster families, so wi well get 10 cards, what is pretty fair number, if first loot will be 5/6.
As foiled cards we could use rare mobs and/or shadow lair mobs. ;]
Demn crap, dat game is just created to have trading cards. ;_;
No, I was doing some stupid joke and a hate on the Iron Lockbox and the UVs systems.
Anyway, here are some ideas for card series:
Safe Zones (Core, Sanctuary, Haven, Moorcroft Manor, Emberlight)
Worlds (RJP, GW, FSC, IMF, Jigsaw Valley/Aurora Isles/Jelly Farm, Scarlet Fortress, Clockworks Tunnels, Deconstruction Zone)
Knight NPCs (Feron, Rhendon, Kora, Vaelyn, Hahn, Bechamel)
Snipes (Some random colours of snipes? :D)
Bosses (Snarbolax, Royal Jelly, Roarmulus Twins, The Big Iron, Maulos, Swarm(?))
Status (Fire, Shock, Freeze, Poison, Stun, Curse)
Rare Monsters (Impostocube, Soul Jelly, Mewkat, Love Puppy)
Monster Families (derp)
Damage types (meh)
There should be cards for the 4 famous kats that the kat hoods are based on.
"Our kingdom shall never fall to the likes of beasts!"
So you need to pay to get cards, or do you just need to be in the steam trading card group ?
For normal games - You must just have invite & play 20-30 mins to get one card. Max card drop is about half of all with one repeat.
For MMOs - You must have any-worth paid account ingame & play 20-30 min to get one card. Max card drop is about half of all with one repeat. When you pay minimal 9€ (Probably depends on game developer preferences) for ingame items you get one more card drop.
I hell don't know, why money-eating OOO didn't introducet it yet!! >.<
How about this
1- All people who make their 1st purchase/ Purchase energy before cards were here get 5 free card drops, Like the Current F2p system.
2- you get 2 free card drops for each Tier Clearance (only applies once per account)
3- Every 9 dollars spent on this game after your 1st purchase gives you a free card drop, like the current F2p system
4- You get 3 free card drops for each Prestige Level up (only applies once per account)
5- you get a free card drop for each Rank up from rank missions.(only applies once per account)
6- Completing 90% of the achievements grants you 3 free card drops, completing 100% gives you an extra complementary 1 free card drop (only applies once per account)
+1
Steam give you cards after you played the game... IDK for how long but it gives you if you play the game only... but yeah it would be cool... could make SK economy on Steam...

card collectors, that's who.
if SK started dropping cards, they will come. then we can sell to them and they will spend more money, etc.
EVERYONE profits.
problem is we're all being treated by 3Rings like cattle... they don't give a hoot about what goes on steam --- heck, even on this forum for that matter.
here, take a glance at the steam stats' "game by player count" ... http://store.steampowered.com/stats
you will not see SK on there because our numbers are at an all-time low and i'm sure it's pretty much the same for SK player who play outside of steam.
this game wont continue on for much longer on F2P players alone, some of us will have to cough up the cash on a regular basis...
we could use the card collector demographics and their deep pockets to continue to exist!
I would like to see trading cards for SK. As for what people have said regarding getting them, I don't think OOO has the power to do anything but decide the amount of cards and names+designs. Steam is under Valve's control, after all.
Anyways, I'd definitely go for the level 5 badge+Foil badge if it's done.
Oh how I would love to have a love puppy emoticon or badge (rare monsters could be the badge levels! Either that or knight ranks could work)! I can't see the system changing for a single free to play game, sadly. If you wanted the cards, they would range from 8 to 20 cents. You would also get a little bonus every so often for buying energy from Steam.
Been suggested a million times? Yes.
Still a good idea? Hell yes.

It all comes down to OOO and Valve (but mostly Valve).
