Hello Spiral Knights :)
- Spiral Knight Forum Features
- Spiral Knight Gameplay
Howdy yall? I would like to suggest a few ideas on Spiral Knights. We should have some Spiral Knights forum features, not just plain basic stuff. Allow spiral knights forum members to have their forum profile, we should be able to view their past / old topics so we don't have to go find on our own, could add them on forum friend-list, able to private message forum members, showing players who's online and offline on the forum. (any other stuff)
Here we go! just some of the ideas - We could able to minimize and maximize the map, avatar icon, hp bar, your party / LD - Lock Down / BN - Blast Network players, your chat instead of typing /clear so you can get more clear view on your Spiral Knight game play. They all have maximize and minimize button just like Spiral Knights arsenal, mail, friend-list, etc. The chat should be divided into sections - ALL, Trade, Zone, Whisper, Guild, Haven, etc. So you don't get confused when bunch of people talking at the same time. ( can now copy & paste other typing in chat log history ) Don't you hated when someone post a link in the chat log u can't copy and paste. You have to type them out. Add voice sounds or speaker on some of the special stuff so you don't get bored of reading texts - this includes Vanaduke, special knights, etc talking / their dialogue. Make Lock Down & Blast Network more balance - Lockdown score should be judged on capturing, defending, damage, kills not just winning games, I don't know why all players get the same score on the same team. Increase more payout on Lock Down & Blast Network. Don't you hate players on your team they go AFK running around in base for the whole entire time get rewards at the end for all your work. Lock Down & Blast Network excitement by adding some sounds to it when players die - ( first blood, double kill, triple kill, etc) (Example: Never-Fear is on killing spree in Lock Down party - kills him to get more score points / health / attack up / defend up / etc )
Come support this idea if you want to make it happen suggest it to others please leave a reply thanks :)

for forum improvement we need a web designer. which got fired.
now, the other stuff.
1 minimize/maximize options for, erm, everything: custom UI has been suggested already, it's fine but seeing as OOO didn't do a great job on UIs in general I don't think it's possible. I mean, UI pieces don't get bigger or smaller when you change the screen resolution, so the UI right now isn't managed very well.
2 chat sections: been suggested many times, good idea, didn't happen till now.
3 copy and paste from chat: that would go with a chat redux. I think that right now letter on the chat are images, that's why you can't select them. that, or it's java. anyway, it would take some work, and they could add chat sections while they're at it.
4 voice sounds: that requires voice actors, and they cost a bit. besides, I think it's a design choice. Nick said somewhere in the forums that vana would have had some voice acting but it was scrapped for reasons. all we have rigth now is the "hugh!" with the mace swings.
5 balancing PvP: oh god.
a) change to LD score: I don't know, maybe that should be another mode. including captures, defends and kills in the score seems a mess, and would change LD quite a bit, not counting the objective change.
b) increase payout: it's called crown sink. it keeps ce low. payouts should stay the same. or we could make the entry fee higher, but it's not a good idea.
c) sounds for first blodd ect.: reminds me of UT. and no, not with the LD we have. with your score change it might work, but right now there is a focus on capturing points, not on killing.
