Just gonna throw out words from my mind, that this game had a terrible mistake from the beginning.
1. Making cr and energy free when beta. Ppl from old version are lucky, and the new ppl are not.
2. Updating this game wrongly. Made the old version with easy economy, and making the feauture of this game harder.
3. Only make special hard missions for ppl that plays this game a lot, not for people that are new for maybe, 1 month playing this game.
4. Adding the future to pay for money.

Yes, Im talking about Pay-to-win future in this game. Like i said, im just throwing out words so it wont be like an idea that never be published, but thinked all day. Please correct me if im wrong.

Spiral knights will never be

Spiral knights will never be pay to win... right now you can either grind for your stuff or pay for it.

either way is fine.

Just a couple things off the top of my head.

1. The hated forge update made the game much easier for new players. (and significantly less "pay to play").
2. Battle sprites made the game easier.
3. Advanced mode is about the same as the old "only" mode. Normal is easier for those that want it to be easier.
4. They make special hard missions for players like me, to keep us playing the game. You cannot say they haven't updated other aspects of the game as well, such as reworking the 2nd mission set or the ironwood sentinel (cant be bothered to to look up the patch notes with it).

Oh helm yeah!

Just gonna throw out words from my mind, that this game had a terrible mistake from the beginning.
Oh great some noob complaining that it's too hard, or you have to invest time.

1. Making cr and energy free when beta. Ppl from old version are lucky, and the new ppl are not
Screw you, Veterans! Forget you have been playing this game for years, we want equality! We want you to be just as unhappy as we are! Otherwise, it's not fair. And it makes us feel unlucky.

2. Updating this game wrongly. Made the old version with easy economy, and making the feauture of this game harder.
"Waaah! Mama, it's too hard!". Ok, but seriously. You are adverse to a challenge? There's a feature, or feauture for people like you. It's called Normal Difficulty. As for the economy part, I could not make heads or tails of that sentence.

3. Only make special hard missions for ppl that plays this game a lot, not for people that are new for maybe, 1 month playing this game.
Okay, so if you want to find a pal, and go to t3 and die. Nobody is going to stop you, but they may point and laugh. Just a little.

4. Adding the future to pay for money.
...what?

Yes, Im talking about Pay-to-win future in this game. Like i said, im just throwing out words so it wont be like an idea that never be published, but thinked all day. Please correct me if im wrong.
Not sure where you reached that conclusion, buckaroo. Your thrown words just went through my window. You know how hard it is to nap while having words thrown at you, right? I'm sure you "thinked" all day about this, considering how much DETAIL and ARTICULATION you put in this post.

with regards to point 1. ...

with regards to point 1. ... the server was reset, wasn't it? If I remember correctly EVERYBODY, even beta players, started out the same as us, except beta players got the Groundbreaker Armor set. I played the day this game started in full release and .. nobody seemed explicitly ahead from the get-go? I could be wrong on that, feel free to correct me if I am.

Okay what am I reading. Crystal Energy was never free (and crowns are essentially always free so including that is irrelevant). That is why it is Crystal Energy and the reason it even exists. Additionally, as Addy mentioned above, all character data was wiped in the transition from the preview event to public release, so nothing gained without real-world transaction was retained. The only carryover was a user's personally purchased CE (which would be retained with a 20% bonus.)

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

To continue what Espeonage said, the reason for that is so that OOO didn't steal money. Though they reset all the characters, you still retained all the energy that you actually paid for. This made it look like there was a bunch of free energy swirling around, but trust me, it got used up fast.

You mean danger missions? You have the option of not playing them.

How is OP trolling? Still, it is good to at least give advice.
