The risk/reward with these levels is so far off people literally would rather sit around and not play the game waiting for the gate to change than to play a compound. More loot boxes would make the compounds actually worth the fight through them. It dosen't help that they have very low loot box rate to begin with.

We don't need more content. The players are happy without any development. Prize boxes are optional, and can just be recoloured older promotions if you'd like.

By adding CPU opponents in Blast Network, it'd be possible for a lone player to start a game without others. I say Blast Network specifically instead of Lockdown because BN is a simple game and it'd be easy to make the AI. The AI wouldn't need to be good, the purpose is just to get a game started. The minimum viable implementation would be a shufflebot moving back and forth along the same lane dropping bombs once in a while. Have 3 of them and it'd probably make for a decent game.

I was staring blankly at my arsenal and thinking about nothing when I realized: What if the Wrench Wand was like the Owlite Wand?

My thoughts were along the line of:
- The Wrench Wand is a regular sword with a three-swing basic. The first two swings do not prohibit movement and don't use the same animation.
- The third swing (as usual) has a lunge and inflicts more damage.
- Its charge remains the same. Thrust the wand forwards, inflicting damage and knockback and shooting a projectile that does additional damage.

At higher star levels, it:

Remember how Brandishes (except Amputator), Sealed Swords and Fang of Vog have two damage bars, Normal and something else? It is well understood that the nature of split damage causes these weapons to perform better or differently than they should, which brought me to an idea.

What if weapons that had 'split' damage inflicted different damage types with different attacks, rather than assigning all of their attacks different attack values?

I'll give a few examples.
- Combuster/Glacius/Voltedge could deal normal damage with its basics and elemental damage with its charge.

This gif demonstrates a flash shield bash, which is when you do a shield bash right as your attack speed changes.

If you do it, as shown in the gif, it's possible to start charging weapons in the middle of the bash and it looks friggin' sweet.

My suggestion is to make charging in the middle of a bash a proper mechanic. Imagine charging into the middle of enemies and immediately following it with a levi charge. How sweet wouldn't that be? I'd be shield bashing all the time.

Had this idea while running with a friend. Rather than just unlocking a boss, a book should unlock an entire level. Like a curse candlestick keep or something to that effect with Margrel as final boss. The place would be full of T3 black kats carnavons and even deadnaughts. And it would at least be one level. I think it would be even better to have like a completely new boss area just for this as well as buffing the margrel a bit to be not a total letdown after all that.

• It should be possible to invite party members to black kats. Invited party members would get drops.
• When someone goes solo, any black kats in the newly spawned instance disappears. The "kick from party" button is disabled for as long as a black kat is alive in the instance. When a player clicks "go solo" with a black kat spawned, the game should warn them that the kat will disappear.

This prevents duping and encourages teamwork.

The you can EITHER

• 500 ancient pages would buy a book.
• Book can still drop.

Today when I was running some arcade with some fellow vanguards we got into a jelly farm and near its end we saw a locked part of the map and it made me think, why can't we just run through all of the jelly farm as we wish, and so came this idea that there should be a level that contains all of the jelly farm on one big floor.

So let me start out by saying that I am in love with this wand of mine. I am always a big fan of magical related gear in games and now Spiral Knights has a weapon that truly feels like the tool of a mage. It is awesome!

That being said, it is awesome but impractical. While I won't say that it is inherently bad, it is a half-reskin of the Nova Driver after all, it certainly lacks a lot of the qualities that make Drivers fun and powerful weapons to use. It has a lot of weaknesses and not many strengths when compared to the Nova Driver.
