Right enough is enough, sick of the bloody promos( although the monster pocket one is awesome love my whelp :3 ), aside from that, we need new bosses to slay!, vanaduke is so easy its not even a joke, with just me in an elite party chaos + max dmg + max charge speed blitz vanaduke is a joke, his AI is easy to dodge, and most of the players in SK have been around for a LONG time, and well i just think the game needs some NEW content, such as more bosses, more cool prestige missions, like compound 42 E.T.C, battle sprites were a brilliant update i love my maskeraith but all i wanted was the medium fire resistance ( maybe get high if i can be bothered ).

so also some new weapons would be nice, and not just reskins with a different element/status, im sure most players that have been with SK a looooong time will agree with me, myself have been playing for around 2 years, and i find this game amazing, it only gets boring for me though, when the content is so old (vanaduke for instance and other missions), clockworks is fun i will agree, love running it with my guild/randoms, but yeah rant over, please hear us out 3 rings, some more game content would make me a very happy player.

reading threads like this for over two years

Yes, of course new content would be nice. But Three Rings is a small shop. No matter how fast they produce content, you will gobble it up faster than they produce it, right? So go do something else, and come back to the game when there is new content.

I'm gonna play along anyway, regardless of whether trolling or not, kinda bored.

Please take a second look at the crew of this game and consider the viability of developing new content. I agree that the game can use some new content, but the fact that the small number of crew mates this game has makes it sparingly slow. If you have any suggestions you would like to donate, do so in the appropriate sub-forums.

with just me in an elite party chaos + max dmg + max charge speed blitz vanaduke is a joke

yeah, well, of course. the most effective things make things easy. tried something else? some other weapons or armor?

well i doubt ill make it to the right sub-forums..

but i will try, and i understand that sk has a small team, but make decent content, that makes me want to throw my money at their face, i mean what is this, do we really need chef outfits? lolz.

the game needs bosses that can destroy our knights and actually provide a challenge, that is what i want, a challenge, i have done most things in sk.

still yet to complete an elite vanaduke run with just proto gear though :(

Well, creating a model of a chef's hat and rigging it to the character would be so much easier than developing game mechanics for a katastrophic event.

Sprites were a big content update and that took them 6 months. Put it in perspective.

Altought it seems you have a long way ahead. You can't do vana on proto? Then what about danger missions and shadow lairs? Those are more annoying than elite FSC :P

Ice queen with proto. Try that.

Thunder & Juances

i have alot of weapons and gear, i just prefer the best combination of weapons for the task at hand, all my elemental weps + blitz for FSC runs, i use Grand F. for grems, slimes and jellies, and my pokers and impact guns for wolvers/fiends.

ive done a solo FSC in proto before the elite vanaduke came out, and not sure if proto ice queen would be nice xD, that sounds bloody awful infact LOL

"most of the players in SK have been around for a LONG time"

Define "most" and define "LONG."
Seems to me "LONG" would be a greater length of time than just simply "long." So I would define "LONG" as being here 1.5+ years. I really don't think the majority of in game players have been here that long. So if you define "most" as a minority, then that statement may be correct.

As much as we would all love some new content, please note that they have a small dev team and also are working on more than just Spiral Knights. That and they have to come up with ideas, make the models, make animations for the models ect ect. ^_^

There are several developers

There are several developers smaller than Three Rings who reguarly churn out content for their games faster than they do. Whilst nobody is entitled to new content and people should really stop complaing about it, this apologist idea of "oh it's simply impossible for them to make content faster" really is at best a shallow and tedious argument that's just as tiring to read as the complaints about there being no content are in the first place.

It's also ironic given Nick is certainly no stranger to making the occasional pot shots at other developers on twitter for rehashing content, glass house meet stone throwing.

OOO works on other games.

OOO works on other games. That doesn't mean the SK devs work on them too. Not that they don't either...

Took OOO over a month to perfect Legion of Almire. Took most of my friends about two days to get bored of it.

That is the ultimate problem in most, if not all MMOs: It takes significantly less time to play through content than it does to make content. Promos and events like the recent Katastrophe are methods to prolong interest in the game. Admittedly they aren't the best methods from the player's perspective. Something like missions are a better example of long-lasting content (but the equipment roadblocks are not...).

As I stated before, it takes a long time to make some good new content, like Legion of Almire. In fact, content like Danger Missions were/are what people have been demanding. However think of it this way: I spent about two hours playing Legion of Almire (I even re-ran it a few times with friends). I spent several days during the first Katastrophe just farming tokens in order to get a 5* Kat hat. Katastrophe probably took a few days to design and another few days to debug, compared to the month it took to finish Legion of Almire. You can't blame OOO for making that connection.
