Its fairly close to becoming finished now, everything is pretty much getting its final polishes and tweaks (I've been on the test server) So you don't have to wait for long. Hopefully it will either be this Wednesday or the next one.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I am looking forward to this update as much, because along with Battle Sprites comes the terrible new revive system, and who knows what else..

Didn't they announce sprites for the first time in January?
Tue, 07/23/2013 - 13:42
#9
Perhaps they shouldn't announce things to us then.
Tue, 07/23/2013 - 14:48
#10
wrong!
They should announce things and say, "THIS WILL BE OUT WHEN IT'S FINISHED AND NOT BEFORE, DON'T KEEP PESTERING US ABOUT THE EXACT DATE AND NO WE WON'T GIVE YOU AN ESTIMATION BECAUSE YOU WILL YELL AT US IF WE DON'T MEET IT."

But even if they do say that, then Larry will still post things about how long its taking, people will expect it to come out on time, etcetera.

@klipik
Exactly. If it has an exact date, tell us and be done with it. If it DOESN'T, stop taunting us with new info that won't be any use to us for MONTHS.
Tue, 07/23/2013 - 16:44

And then we all beg for useless information that won't be any use to use for MONTHS.

Question
One additional change to support this: going forward, players will have an equipment limit on their weapons and gear. Mission rank will prevent players from using gear deemed too powerful for their experience. For example, a 3* item would say, 'Requires Rank 5-1 to equip.'
This represents a significant change from the current way Spiral Knights works; however, we think it's in the best interests of the game in the long run to encourage players to feel like they've earned access to the weapons and gear they are using.
My friend Shy-User seems to think that this means that Vanguards and other ranks after Knight Elite (I think that's what the 2* rank was) would have to equip 3* gear rather than use their 5* gear in order to do Royal Jelly. Is this true?
Tue, 07/23/2013 - 17:53
#17
No. You will only be allowed to use certain gear based on what rank you are, not what rank mission you're in.

Answer @Silverdeoxys
For example, a 3* item would say, 'Requires Rank 5-1 to equip.
This would mean, however, that players who do not wish to play missions would be unable to equip gear they have crafted. That seems a tad unfortunate.

@Sundeiru
The change is not retroactive. Mostly only new players are affected by this new system, not old.

Your Face is illogical.
Really just want a cat thing (cant spell it) to name it Mew 2.0. I really won't use its power ups that much due to the fact that Iv'e been quite fine without its powers for so long, like, the whole game.
Agree with Hexzyle. Really only means that it'll be weird to get 2* for newer players, and that they will have to do missions. But hey, Prestige...

Are they doing it? Does anyone know for sure?

A note about equipment limits for current players: when this is released, the highest star level item bound to you becomes your equipment limit. This means that even if you've never touched a mission, but you have 5* gear bound to you, you will have the maximum equip limit.

Personally...
I think the update will be good. I can wait for the battle sprites, though. I get why they didn't give an exact date, and I'm fine with that.
