8 to 12 players are thrown into an arena. In this arena is one (or numerous) large monster (boss monster obviously). The task of the knights is to work together to defeat the monster as quickly as possible. Each monster has 5 stages when the monster loses enough HP it will go to the next stage. As it goes through stages it will gain more power to it's hits, damage resistance, and more status resistance (on the last stage it is completely immune).

If the knights can defeat the monster before the clock runs out everyone gains krogmo coins. The top damaging player gets an extra coin.

I have found that Spiral Knights is kind of a punishing game.
The game is still fun, and I will still play it and enjoy, but if this issue is solved, the game would be even more enjoyable.

The difficulty system is a factor in this problem, though it's very, very small.
Elite mode cranks up the monster health, but all this does is make the easy monsters still easy, and the difficulty spikes more.. spiky. This means that the difficult monsters are more frustrating. But, we have to deal with elite mode in order to get more crowns and rarities.

So basically, there cood b like, a radio to put in your guild..

The 1st thing it'd ask you when u click the toggle button on it, wood be: Do you want SK music or music from youtube?

Then, if u clicked SK music, it'd give you all the SK music (E.G GH music, Training Hall music, mission music...) then select the music you want

But if you selected youtube music, u'd Copy and paste a link from utube into the radio and it'd play that 4 u.

Also, maybe you cood have a playlist of songs, perhaps even a mix of SK and utube music.

Occasionally when zombies leap, they'll immobilize you and gnaw your noggin' without dealing damage. Zombie regular attacks should also have that ability to immobilize the target.
I don't know if the immobilize on the leap is by random chance or if it's a sweet-spot sort of thing, but whatever applies to leaping should also apply to swipes to make them more lethal :D

I got rekt by zombies in FSC... they leap-grabbed twice in a row and I wasn't facing the zombie that grabbed me either time... so I died. Oh the Valkyrie Helm D:

This is a suggestions about the process of implementing big changes in the game. So we all know that games eventually update and new and cool things are added. Though the things they add are great, they are not always loved by the community. Though i am not saying that all players will be happy or unhappy about every update. I am saying that creating a way we can channel our feelings about a big update to the developers in my opinion will foster a bigger/stronger and better relationship towards the future of the life of the game.

This list will include things that many other players talked about, I'm just putting all of them together.

-Elite Orb of Alchemy drops
-Radiant Fire Crystal drops
-Balanced of Armor, weapons, trinkets, automatic targeting. and classes in PvP
-Difficulty Systems
-Difficulty Spikes(Balance of monster difficulty)
-Freeze-locking system
-Servers(and what to do when players do lag)
-A way to AFK safely(pause button or monster range of vision)

Feel free to help me add to the list.

Poeple have always complained about Mercurial Demo being a weak set, which is probably because it's MSI is barely notable and not very useful without the Swiftsteps sprite perk. But the shock resistance is good for both PvE and PvP. Mercurial Demo is oftenly used by LD bombers mainly because of the shock resist since people tend to spam Polaris on bombers, but that's all, the MSI isn't exactly it's main selling point.

Spiral Knights has fallen from the great game it used to be, we should all know this by now. The player base has dropped dramatically and the in game economy is getting demolished as you're reading this right now. It's because of the giant cash walls placed in the game to make people buy energy, then they want more for said energy, raise prices, then making the cash wall even larger because that means people converting crowns to energy must pay more. The reason people keep buying energy is because the lack of diversity. The game is pretty bland.

I always wanted to have a levithan blade behind my back and wear a massive bomb behind my back so i can look more like NPCs and enemies in the game. So i think they should add accessories like
Back Levithan Blade
Back Bradish
Recon backpack
Iron Claw backpack
Big Bomb(bomb Warmaster Seerus wears)
Spiral banner
Warden banner
Veteran banner
Darkfang banner
Crimson banner

I also wanted to add knights you see in haven in my guild hall so it doesn't really seem empty when you walk inside and your guildmates arn't around. So i wanted the game masters to add new guild decorations like

A smaller unit for sparks of life would go like this.
1 Spark of life = 2-4 of the new unit.
2-4 Units = Revive Self
1 Unit = revive other party member with 50%-100% Health.

The reason that it would take less units to revive someone else is because it's like the health-sharing.
Not that thought out of a suggestion... but it's an idea.
