Patience, good things come to those who wait.
I'm glad I started my gaming with Dragon Fable. If there is anything that game has taught me, it's how to wait.
Just be patient. Sending death threats to OOO won't make the gunner update come any faster.
You know, I just thought of something. Why are so many people eager for this update? After all, about 70% of the Spiral Knights community are sword users who bring a Blitz Needle to FSC at most.

gods ain't gonna help you, son.
oh hi damien, long time no see.
the gunner update will be out when it's ready, apparently. there were any two pushbacks on it, one in november and one in january, then eury said that they were tired of failing expectations so they weren't giving out any.

I'm just looking forward to the next Apocrea event, wherein I will be able to cheaply farm radiants.

Pretty sure it went from January to "when it's ready", per this announcement.
And hi Damien. I had heard you quit.

There is no love for bombs

There's been a great deal of love for bombs within the last couple of years.
-New and improved shard bombs still took time and effort to develop.
-Apocrea's mission gave a poisonous graviton variant
-MOUNTAIN OF TERROR: CHRISTMAS EDITION gave 3 reskins of bombs, but only 2 reskins of swords/guns.
-1* bombs, and I think all non-5* bombs for that matter had their radius increased to promote players becoming bombers.
-Big angry bomb and irontech destroyer/bomb were greatly buffed, and now have an even larger blast radius + a chance to deal stun.
Yes, bombs still need something more to compete with swords and guns, but I really don't think its fair to say "No love for bombs".

I think bombers need what the gunners are gonna get and the swordsmen already have - more armour lines.
the bomber sets are pretty dull, it's just straight up elemental defence and CTR lows until you get to 5*. no statuses or anything. And bombs basically have to have ctr to even compete with the killing capabilities of the most used swords, so you can't go for a defensive set like swordsmen or gunners can.
Ok, maybe you can. but it's not fun. the lack of bonuses nulls most of the fun >.<
Bombers also miss out on damage types and weapon mechanics. Swordsmen have flourishes for piercing, brandishes / sealed sword lines for elemental and shadow. then there's cutters, winmillion and troikas, and who can forget that wonderful thing called the Warmaster Rocket Hammer. That's quite a few different mechanics.
Bombers get blast bombs for piercing or normal, DR for shadow, and shard bombs for literally everything else. While shard bombs are ok (or great in the right hands: see Zeddy), it really wouldn't hurt to have some more elemental or shadow bombs, that weren't vaporizer or shard variants.
@OP
I've been thinking the same thing, but then I realized that three rings are human and are actually capable of working on things without telling us exactly what they're doing. Who knows, they could be working on something that's bigger than anything they've let on.

How do you know it was the GM's that did it and not the OP?
EDIT:Nop,that there was the act of the OP.
VV--that;Don't get your hopes up because chances are you will be disappointed by the gunner update the more you wait.

You really expect that much
You really expect that much from gunner update huh? They don't have time for that as long as they are working on prize box promotions and trying to fix good old events (or can I say trying to break them) lol. [No spoilers please]. I am looking forward for new missions and bosses more than for gunner update, if new missions will ever come.
New: It is not my problem if you had to cover my words with "No spoilers please" if you alredy ... into ...

Promos require effort only almost entirely from the art section. Thus, it's rather possible that the art section is way ahead of the other sections and thus are tasked with doing something while the others catch up. I'm guessing that they're one programmer short as they've been looking for one for quite a while.

@OP:
Looks like you missed the announcement where they basically admitted it was a mistake to announce a release date when they weren't ready yet (a better move would be to pretty much announce it when it's almost already done: like 2 weeks before release so they can throw it on the test server for extra hype).
and you know, they have other features in progress too.
edit:
@Krakob:
oh wow, I nearly qualify for that, haha.
not familiar enough with unix though :(

Effect of adding new weapons
you'd spend another 16 hours of your life getting reskins of previous weapons.
fire crystals will probably eliminate half your savings in the game.
there's not much to do with new weapons if you're going to play the same levels...
A better update in my opinion is to reduce the cost of fire crystals or increase the rarity. just something that will prevent them from becoming unobtainium.
THEN maybe a weapon update.
@Sloveniangirl:
YES. At least there would be more levels to use your previous weapons on. And bosses? more farming opportunities. and it's not like you have to pay 1.5k ce to do just a mission...

The new update might just happen to include a large number of levels near the core.^
We don't know yet.

my 2 cents
Yes we all ranted already and OOO hasn't given us anything...
I'm still waiting on that preview test server Nick was talking about... but then again, Nick left and the preview server has been down for the past year... So I doubt it will be worth it TBH...
Most of the guns are already known and their elemental damage, only numeric dmg data are missing from all the info we could snatch out of Spiral Spy thanks to OOO pointing it out with all those patches with "behind the scenes changes...". We pretty much HAD to check it and now... *check watch* 6 months later after we all saw the guns, they aren't out yet.
Models are done though, and in that tme-frame D3 expansion came out, GTA V came out, PS4 and Xbox one came out... so we all forgot about SK... Also the mistake they do since Nick left is hilarious, I almost pierced my eyes while swimming in Bolted Vees...
I call OOO employee lazy... and unnorganized
chill out, enjoy cake first.
