When you say that there should be a delay of spectator mode of 3 minutes, games as they are now, are only 6-7 minutes long so I think 15-30 seconds delay is more reasonable. Since I'm guessing that you're referring to League because there is a 3 minute delay when you're spectating.

I do agree most of your list, especially the one with custom LD lobbies and LD Training Hall. (Though "Free-For-All" mode sounds very hectic.)

I think adding an option to search for a certain UV type on the Auction House would be pretty cool. Which could definitely help finding what you need (UV wise) instead of looking through the 13 pages of Wolver items with Variants.

Increase poisoning chance on DVS
Change invincitink mechanics on everything

I agree to most of them although many have been ultimately rejected already. "Too linear" and many other things.

And will the swag VH UV allow you to, like, booty bump zombies or something?

Oh hay, this thread again.
I would love to see more player/npc interaction to make it feel more real. For instance, if a player in full azura walks by a stranger maybe have them salute as the player is meant to repersent (or at least the armor) the best of the Knights.
Maybe also have the hall of heros shop keepers salute you or do the /thanks thing when you buy something form them.
Make gremlins in ember light in some way respond to players, weather it be throwing a bit of rubble at them or turning to face them to look away.

MAKE IT FEEL LIKE I AM REALLY AROUND THINGS THAT ARE ALIVE.

+1 for nerf Huntr and the training rooms. :>

Fixes:
- Asian/Pacific server? No? :c
- Let us NPC the useless mats in the Guild Treasuries.
- Fix Antigua line hits not registering at point blank.

Moar interesting:
- New PvP games. :> Tower Defense mode?
- 2v2 GLD.
- Spontaneous events. Eg. Sudden monster invasion in Haven!
- More towns, places to expore. Not ones like Moorcroft and Emberlight, but more like Haven with unique NPC's that we don't already have.

"Mad bomber buff (ex. Damage high on both pieces, make negative resistances low instead of med)" -Redblades

Just a tiny bit of nitpicking. I think the negative resistances are high.
(Oh and, does that mean you'd still want them to be low, or would you have it changed to medium?)

You had me at "My laptop". XD

Laptops draw power from certain sections of the system to fuel others in times of need. 1000 creeper explosions is simply RAM re-arrangement and a few polygon redraws. RAM is often built in... oh right, we're not in the 20th century anymore... RAM is always built into graphics cards, which means there is no bottleneck.

However when you're playing on Spiral Knights, a game where objects with both location and vector (direction and duration) are being sent through the network, (along with many other variables, Spiral Knights needs a pretty wide bandwidth clearance to operate at maximum potential all the time) that's kind of taxing on your laptop's power, and draws it away from other things, like your graphics card. You lose power on your graphics card, you lose power on your graphics. Simple as that. Even if you're on the charger, a transformer just can't compare to a desktop's power supply unit.

I haven't played much RuneScape since the combat update, but have a go at that and tell me if you get any framedrops. Even if you don't it's probably not a very good indication because although Runescape is an online game, the reclienting system is very well made, (something that Spiral Knights DOES need to improve on) and resource loading takes jack all because it's not exactly "amazing" graphics) so lag is nowhere near as obvious (You used to get a really horrid framerate whenever you rotated the camera: you don't get that in Spiral Knights when you zoom in or out)

So, word of advice, if you want to get serious about gaming, get a desktop. Either that or don't complain about bad quality gaming. My desktop isn't as powerful as your laptop and I don't get any visual lag whatsoever in the game.

@Hex

/agree

I got a question Hex, since you are more computer savvy than me. How come I can play a 3D space shooter PvP game with 15 other people in huge maps with jetpacks and pretty great graphics, yet this game I play on lowest settings and still lag. Is there any reason besides the space PvP game (freefall tournament) using C++ (and a few others) as its base language and SK using java?

Guardian shields are already weak so maybe shield bash could be a good thing.

>It'll make LD OP with guardians since they can stun mobs and attack.

Seriously? Bash is barely damaging (around 70 damage in PvE, if in 1 pip 40 hp, that's 1.5 pips of normal? damage), easily telegraphed and not controllable at all, so you can't curve yourself into skolver's face. 3 seconds stun I doubt will make any difference to skolvers, who can use boost dash, and recon and guardians are slow anyways

I like the HoH. It's a reliable way of getting the gear I need without going bankrupt. The system proposed by the OP would drive prices through the roof, and would benefit rich players at the expense of poorer ones (unless you believe that T2 players will be diving down to depth 18 or so in 1* gear to get the recipes they need, rather than being forced to buy from richer and better equipped players). And there is still a point in selling basil recipes, as many of then are exclusive to him.
-1 to HoH suggestion, +1 to the rest.

lolwut? Do you know how basil works?

http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Basil

T2 players looking to get to T3 would go to the terminal at depth 13 to get 4* recipes.

At least recipes gave the clockworks some use. Now with missions and the HoH the clockworks are obsolete. Also, I'm pretty sure polaris is the only real endgame recipe people buy. Whenever I go on random runs, I'll always see them. But with the DA? Hardly. Same with the peacemaker. The brandish line really did away with the DA since it was really only used for it's charge. And with the peacemaker? With OOO changing it to pure elemental a while back, people stopped going to it for FSC. The half piercing was for Vana, and now that it's gone people don't use it. Blitz is the most popular gun for FSC by far. I see some Fausts from time to time, but still not as common as they used to be.

No. Simply no. I don't see one acceptable thing is this list.
But since this is a suggestion thread I have one for you: quit the game if it's so hard for you to bear those points you listed. You're one of those players that will never be satisfied either way, so why stay?

please don't bombard me with negative comments saying "this has already been said before stfu", i will ignore those ♡

OOO needs to add a 4 star version of swiftstrike buckler to the game. just a little more health and normal defense is all i'm asking. the design should be the 3 star version, with a bigger swirly thing on it and make it prismatic (*o* ). they should also implement a balancing system for lockdown; this way there won't be a team filled with nobs vs a team of all pros. they could do this by making portfolios for each player; recording each players highest damage, most caps, and most defends. they could also give you exp for doing well in matches and then move you up in leagues. (<-- please give suggestions on this)

my input on the ideas above:

~ the whole striker line needs buff imo
~ i think they need to nerf a ton of stuff but won't even get started on that
~ more events! they actually make me want to do PvE
~ tracking certain uvs would be great, and to make it even better, certain uvs on certain weapons and armors.
~ 1v1/ free-for-all/ custom matches in lockdown would be the greatest thing ever. i have some ideas { v }

starting with the 1v1, give each player triple the health (for longer lasting fights), no health pads (so the matches aren't forever), and give each player a set number of lives (3 is always a good number). for the free-for-all it could be along the same lines with he extra health for longer lasting battles but i do say there should be some objective in these matches. you could bring in the capturing from standard lockdown, but make the cap time shorter to about 3 seconds or something. ALSO, gvg, 1v1, free-for-alls, and custom matches, you and others should be able to bet on players/ teams. make everything more interesting, and safer than saying "if i win you owe me 10k and if i lose i'll give you 10k" [these players cannot be trusted ('-' ) ]

i agree with what @redblades said about the custom matches; letting the players choose what weapons and uvs and trinkets everyone or themselves will be able to use. that way, the poor spiral knight players will be able to show their skill on an even playing field. no krogmo coins would have to be provided; it would be just for fun (that's the only reason i play lockdown anyway)

i think i covered everything ('o' )
*waves*
*can't stop waving*
*cuts of arm*

i know there are already 1v1s and stuff like that, but for that takes a lot of patience with others standing around watching and joining in on 1v1s that aren't for them and just being disruptive. that's why putting a system in place would be so much easier for those who hold tournaments and such. the whole "league" and "exp" thing isn't the best idea, and there probably would be a boosting problem, but that's their own fault because the system is only there to put players in matches vs opponents who are the same skill level. and with the swiftstrike upgrade, i said nothing about changing the ask. it's fine where it is. maybe they could nerf the 3 star to be asi low/med and then when you craft the 4 star it will become asi high. thoughts on that?

i'm confused now. we must be thinking about two different things with the 1v1 subject. and it's not really that OP at all? lol swiftstrike is only normal defense. nothing fancy added to the 4 star man. and who cares if it's OP, you can only use in PvE not PvP so it wouldn't be hurting you at all? you don't have to purchase it if you don't want. and besides, they probably never will add an upgrade. but i'd like to be able to last at least three steps on spike traps ('-' )

{by the way, i made this into a whole different post because i think we've rabbit trailed off of the original topic now}

You telling Redblades "If you can't handle it, you should just quit." is one of the most invalid comments anyone can say. Why do you think we have the suggestion forum? It's to fix broken things.

You also act like he went rage on OOO like he said "I HATE THIS GAME! ADD THESE THINGS TO MAKE IT BETTER!". He was serene so you have to chill out.

Why do so many players act like making a suggestion means that you're protesting against something? It's a SUGGESTION. It belongs in the right forum.

Oh, so it's more of a grudge match thing? Well +1 to that then.

i feel like you're just saying a lot of nonsense very confidently so it seems like you know what you're talking about??¿¿?? i see a ton of stuff that would be beneficial for me too, so technically these aren't all "things he wants changed about the game without a slight concern for whether* they would make the game better for everyone or not," learn the difference :-)

{and by the way, not every person in a group or society is going to agree on one thing. it's called MAJORity rules and right now the majority is us and you are the MINORity. seeing as how you think you know what's best for everyone from the perspective that you're very experienced and have a lot of hours logged is very ignorant. i know a lot of people who would love these ideas}

(っ◕‿◕)っ have a nice day ☔

i know all of the ideas aren't perfect in any way shape or form, but i was defending the creativity of people like redblades. people like worknplay are the ones who ruin creativity, and like it's been said before, this is the suggestions page, not the "perfect ideas for old school spiral knights players." just let people feel free to think outside the box for once and stop being so condescending towards them lol. it's really bothersome. and i never said anything about world of warcraft? and i don't believe any of my suggestions were related to world of warcraft? and i don't think that my suggestions match the gameplay of world of warcraft? but then again i've only played that game once for like a minute, so how should i know. but i will tell you sir, that my intentions of my suggestions were not in any way to make the game more like another game, specifically world of warcraft. maybe redblades has something against spiral knights and is really trying to undermine the foundation of the game by offering suggestions that would turn the game into world of warcraft? he must be leroy jenkins!

Brandish charge nerf (5* 3 explosions, 4* 2 explosions, 3* and 2* 1 explosion)
Hahahahahahaha, no. It's the best sword for crowd control. The most I'd accept is removing one explosion of each, not two.

Revert DA charge
Yes. I'd also like the charge to not be totally useless when backed against the wall. It's that annoying, niggling bug which caused me to stop using it entirely.

Polaris shock rate and slight damage nerf
Worst suggestion for a weapon I've ever heard. If you nerf the gun even further it'd be useless. Had you said "knockback nerf" I'd have agreed.

Iron slug damage buff
All of the Magnus line needs a damage buff, not just the Iron Slug. The one minor advantage of slightly more damage and about four disadvantages (2 shots, stand dead still while firing, slow firing rate and occasionally deals no damage on a direct hit to its target) compared other guns gives little to no incentive to use it.

Mad bomber buff (ex. Damage high on both pieces, make negative resistances low instead of med)
That'd make it too OP, keep neg res on Med.

Reduce graphical effect of Vanaduke’s Ceiling fall (cuts my FPS in half)
Agreed. I call it the Lag Attack.

Remove hall of heroes (detrimental to recipe selling)
The idea behind HoH was to give players a reason to do missions and earn the right to buy recipes at their actual price rather than one costing 10x the amount because a player got greedy. Boss reward recipes aren't available at HoH so go for those.

Slight damage buff on Wild Hunting Blade
Cutters don't need a buff, they need less knockback on the second hit of every strike. It really affects the DPS if they aren't backed against a wall.

Make GH open toggle permanent (not change when I log off)
+1

OPTIMIZE. THE. GAME.
Java. /Nuff said.

I'm too lazy to respond to any others.

Although I bet some noob will disagree with the well-deserved brandish nerf... *cough*Misty-Wellington*cough*

I'm a noob for disagreeing with a change you agree with? Totally sound arguement you got there.

Cry moar, your tears of anguish sustain me.

I agree with all of these and every idea sounds good but the guardian buff.... Guardians are already too powerful have 2 or more and you have a group that is pretty much invincible ( I hit one the other hit me I try to hit that guy but shield blocks me and I die.) Also they tank so much of my damage and with self healing its already too good but the bash for it is fine.
