i agree @thunder
ok u got an open mind xD
but i didnt say anything about us actually opening it.i said the thing inside might TRY to escape in our attempt to open it. our mission is to stop it because it holds the key to our escape.naturally hell hate us and we got ourselves an antagonist!!!!!
i did mention a PART of it (i.e. the source of the swarm) would be our new boss.my third theory is similar to your idea.about the infested knights and stuff.my one says its the alpha squad thats infested
p.s. i wasnt sayin you werent open-minded i just added it to say i was THINKING like that. nothing personal :)

I has idea
Before all of the owlites were eaten by the cats,few escaped,but in the unknown passage.As they stayed they didn't sense the swarm,until it was to late.They tried to fight it,but it was to strong.They were corrupted and became swarm owlites and formed into a creature of pure evil.When the core opens it will awaken,but until then it grows more powerful everyday.Excuse my spelling,this sounds pretty awesome.:P A owlite boss.

My ideas
Well, with all the hinting to tortodrones in the forums and some on facebook recently, it may be something along those lines. [No spoilers on the forums please]. Also, with all the people talking about it being vog, it can't be, since if you check the wiki, it tells about how he's nice to the knights. Also, they said a "new" primary antagonist, not one that everybody already know about. Seerusly, am I the only person who pays attention to these things?

"So tomorrow's the 6th (unless your on the other side of the Earth away from the US). Danger boxes are gone, what's next?"
Exactly what I was thinking about. There's a gap between this promotion and the start of Dark Harvest Festival, perfect for something to go to the test server.

If the rumors are to be believed, it is a weapon that the devilites have developed that scares even them.
Also, I thought the event was supposed to end today... I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow.

"Will this balancing of current guns alter my beloved Magma Driver, Blitz Needle, and Argent Peacemaker in any way possible?"
If I had to guess:
Switch shooting will be "revamped" AKA removed, with alchemers rebalanced to function without it, making them stronger in traditional loadouts but possibly weaker compared to switch shooting them. Blitz Needle will probably be nerfed to some degree. Most other guns will likely get buffed. Polaris will probably stay where it is.
This is just my guess though. I could be wrong.

Any chance for Gunslinger
Any chance for Gunslinger line hats gets unique skins Nick?
I really would like to have fancy coloured Justifier Hat to fit my Justifier Jacket and volcanic coloured Shadowsun Stetson to fit my Shadowsun Slicker eventually. I know I'm asking much, but I'd be grateful if it were possible to add these couple extra png files to the update.
EDIT:
"Two dozen new handguns will be added"
I do hope it won't be something like shards bombs - just four variants, dealing different damage each, of the same gun or two.
Plus I'm a bit disappointed* it happening just about when I'm almost done with my handguns arsenal and I'm just short of three guns. Now from having almost 100% of all existing handguns I'll be back to some 50% at best. Oh dear.

@Khamsin
If the Blitz gets nerfed there will be no reason to bring it into FSC or Beast levels or Drudgeries anymore.
I can only hope the Polaris gets changed someway. Maybe un-spamable? I just want people to stop bringing it into every freaking situation weather it does or doesn't work plus those horrible, HORRIBLE excuses haunt me in my dreams. So I no longer sleep. >~<.
Not like a major damage reduction. Maybe, lowered knockback? ASD a tiny bit low? just something to make it less controversial >~<

@gunner update
My eyeballs might POP OUT if there's no shotgun or sniper rifle! Then again, I want that repeater. EDIT: Well Nep, I guess you're right about that. I'm always junk at posting on forums :/
Mon, 10/07/2013 - 17:07
#287
@Cinoa
I really doubt SK is going to use a shotgun or sniper rifle in SK simply because of the mechanics of it... Technically, a Callahan is pretty close because of the knockback, so if there are either of those weapons, it'll just be a reskin of Callahan.

@Tweeter
"If the Blitz gets nerfed there will be no reason to bring it into FSC or Beast levels or Drudgeries anymore."
It currently does 4000 damage, without any modifiers, into the back of a Trojan. That's enough to kill a full health trojan with a 4 person party in elite without any damage modifiers. WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE MODIFIERS. For comparison, its brother does only 75% of its damage, with a chance to proc an effect that debuffs armor by something like 10% (to be honest, I thought plague needle did a lot less, around half its damage). The next strongest weapon after those two does a mere 2000 damage while also setting you on fire.
Does this make sense to you? Even if blitz got nerfed by 10% it'd still be amazing. Even with a 20% nerf it'd still be amazing.
"I can only hope the Polaris gets changed someway. Maybe un-spamable? I just want people to stop bringing it into every freaking situation weather it does or doesn't work plus those horrible, HORRIBLE excuses haunt me in my dreams. So I no longer sleep. "
Ugh. No. Polaris is one of the few fun guns.
Mon, 10/07/2013 - 17:17
#289
@Khamsin
'' Uh, no. Polaris is one of the few annoying* guns. ''
FTFY.
Anyways, I have to agree with Tweeter. That gun is fun if you're playing by yourself, but it isn't fun if you're in a group. That stupid guns makes me lag so terribly that if I see anyone with it, I usually ask them nicely not to use it. If I'm the party leader and they use it anyways after giving them fair warning, I kick them. And you know something? No one has ever had a problem when I did. So yes, I WOULD like that gun to have some kind of nerf, or at the very least, make the animation for it less blinding and crashing for those of us with weaker computers.
Mon, 10/07/2013 - 17:25
#290
@Nep
It's plenty fun in a group, if your group is smart enough to know when to use it. Teamshot with polaris can work extremely well.
Anything with serious knockback can be just as annoying. I don't cry about removing Levi charge just because it can fling a mob in an annoying way.
Mon, 10/07/2013 - 17:29
#291
@Khamsin
It still doesn't make up for the fact that it still causes huge lag spikes for some people. It also doesn't excuse the fact that almost 90% of the players do NOT know how to use the weapon properly.
Mon, 10/07/2013 - 17:30
#292
Pew Pew Pew
If the Blitz does get a nerf, it won't affect me, cuz I have a Volcanic Pepperbox =p Unless they decide to nerf that too...
But seriously, this update is great. I like to have a gun on me for supportive fire, and now I have more guns to choice from if I choose to do so. A piercing gun besides callahan and Blitz would be cool as I don't own a piercing gun.
Mon, 10/07/2013 - 17:32
#293
@Nep
The lag is not lag, but people having crappy computers.
Not knowing how to use it properly is an issue of skill.
These are both non-factors. Bigger reasons to adjust polaris would be the ease of stunlocking turrets and keeping hordes of enemies at bay.

No thanks, I'd rather stay with my storm driver that's currently in the works.
Also, @Nepetatheleo, I'm not normally one that lags (at all), but you forgot one thing, the brightness of the cyan explosions can really hurt someone's eyes despite their graphics settings much like the Nitronome. It's like 3 mini Nitronomes.

weeeeeeeeeeeee. gunner update. I chose just the right time to start using shard bombs.
anyway, two dozen handguns, that seems like a lot. I hope there are some homing, or slightly aimed projectiles so to make rage PvPers. and some nerfs to some guns, we really need those.
