Hello, I was wondering if OOO are ever going to put a new PvP game in the coliseum. To be honest Lockdown is becoming boring. This morning I was watching some videos of Spiral Knights EXPLOSION PvP on YouTube and started to wonder if OOO would ever bring it back. What do you think? Do you think it would work? If three rings did decide to make a new PvP game what do you think it would be like? Give details. Thanks for taking your time to read this.
New PvP in Spiral Knights

I believe they're referring to Super Brawl, or rather the one variant of it where there were respawning Blast Cubes.

@Xyka
That is what I am referring to.

Super Brawl was worse than LD as far as I know. Worse metagame, worse balance, and so on. The only thing I like is the crown you got if you got #1.

At least superbrawl would take a lot of the toxic damage hogs out of LD, since that's the only goal in it (besides not dieing).
LD could be a really great community if the people who played it weren't as egotistical as possible.

As imbalanced as Super Brawl is, Lockdown is no better. Lockdown feels like an entirely different game. It doesn't feel like Spiral Knights, a stark contrast with the playstyles you're used to from playing strictly PvE.
Super Brawl included bits and pieces from Spiral Knights' regular gameplay, like vials, pills, respawning blocks, ghost blocks, enemies, etc. It was horribly imbalanced (just like Lockdown is), but what's stopping it from being fun?

That's a good point. What would indeed stop it from being fun? The only problem I see with the introduction of a new PvP mode is that it would split the Eu PvP community and thus just make it really hard to get any game, Super Brawl or Lockdown, when the servers aren't crowded. I mean, I don't think Eu LD has more than one game going on at least 50% of the time.
While the reintroduction of Super Brawl wouldn't necessarily be bad, I think it would be wiser if OOO were to introduce some other PvP mode, preferably one that rewards teamwork more and using the most powerful gear less.

Maybe having GM's or trustworthy players spectate and commend those who worked together? I'm pretty sure an AI like that might be a bit complicated for a small staff. No offense.

Teamwork rewards itself in LD, if you ask me. Still, that doesn't mean that people do it. It should be rewarded through the game itself, though. Not through some stuff given to people because this.

I think asking for new PvP is counterproductive, since the current PvP could use some improvement first.
Would you rather end up with 3 games that have their flaws, or 2 that are balanced?

I'd rather have the former but we all know how good OOO are at listening to balance suggestions. I've asked for balance for years and honestly, I'm getting tired of even bothering with it because at this point, I bet pretty much every opinion I've ever had is available on this forum and often where it should be. If OOO would care, it's there, right under forum section 7 or 53.

Don't mind me. I'm just a copycopycat.

Pvp
Free-for-all PVP using either striker recon or guard I think would be awesome. If teamwork doesn't work for you because you don't have as good players in your team then why not do a free for all. You can choose the thing you want to use at the lobby and when u die... Sounds fun to me :P

Short live the trojans...
People probably thought of this before me but how about one where people fight monsters in this dungeon and gain points for each kill.
Turret = 10
Normal mob = 3
Miniboss = 25
explosion pvp? you mean... blast network? cuz blast network is available and has been available to all players for even longer than lockdown...
