So, if any knights are on a hiatus from the game, this is the post for you. I was just wondering what you guys would want in an update that would make you start playing again. Mine would be adding Tortodrone armors. I need it to match my torto-gun.

Active players, feel free to post here!

For the complete inability to shield and having to rely exclusively on dodging and crappy netcode to survive, not equipping a shield should give one, MSI very high, and sword ASI VH.

Obviously, this is mostly aimed at swordsmen and one might say that gunners get buffed for no reason, but think about it, what happens when you get caught at close range by a mob of monsters with only a gun and no shield?

The basic idea is to bring striker to PvE, and introduce an entirely new playstyle.

Looking at the forums of puzzle pirates I noticed difference that should be implemented on these forums as well

Such as individual profiles, joining dates, last login dates, and very own profile pictures. Spiral Knights deserves the same treatment since PP is also their games with different forum looks that are actually better than this. What do you guys think?

Stun and poison respectively.
You know you need them.

The About page mentions the wonderful stratum construction feature of old. Sadly, this feature was removed some time ago.

New item: Bots
It looks like Bosco modified some Shufflebots for a variety of useful purposes. Here are some of his most successful modifications.

1. Cratebot:
Cratebots double your Clockworks inventory space and allow you to carry one more mineral deposit. Be warned, if the Cratebot is destroyed, you lose anything inside. All Cratebots are fitted with an Energy Repulsor that can push away enemies that come too close, however it does not deal any damage. The Energy Repulsor can only fire every 3 seconds, so large groups of enemies may be able to swarm the Cratebot.

Battle Sprites - Chips

The goal of this chip idea is to provide more function for all battle sprites in different field scenarios. Please remember that battle sprites are, according to lore, clockworks-influenced robotics that typically look extremely organic. Thus they might respond to programs.

Just returned from lockdown. For entire game i could not normally kill any other knight and realy sick of it.
BUT !!!! While I was dead, I imagined - if all were the same weapons and armor, then everything will be different

Surely all tired of spamming "gunners". Surely someone sword stronger and more expensive than all your gear.
Perhaps if you deprive the players the possibility to carry their personal weapons on the lockdown will deprive them of opportunities to cheat.

Please, if you would kind.
Make weapons for lockdown that will be different only for different classes.

I think that there are a lot of items in SK that you dream of but you can never get.

So they should make try-out items. Only visible to you and for a limited time only. Anyone else will just see you with what you were previously wearing before you got a try-out item. This wouldn't be a very hard thing to update either, as all they have to do is give you a 'try out' button on items and make them limited.

This way people can try items, if they don't like them, they wouldn't have to spend loads of crowns just to be disappointed.

A shield flinch would work like this:
If a monster's attack is shielded at the right time(right before they attack), the monster would flinch(and take damage, and the shield would take no/less damage???). If a bullet is shielded at the right time, the bullet would be reflected off the shield and it would deal less damage than/the same damage as it normally did.

This would be a fun mechanic.
