Hi, i have been playing spiralknights for about a year now and i have enjoyed every second of it (exept when i lag >.<). However i have always found that there was something missing in the game. Like you have a gun that you can barely hit enemies with and when you do its not even worth the effort (neutralizer). Or you got your hands on the calahan and can´t even hit any of thoes flying gorgos cus they are terrible and should be removed from the game.

I guess what im getting at here is that there are some aspects of the game that doesent even makes sence, sometimes it works and sometimes it just ruins your day for having the least bit of hope in it actualy working.

Take the acient plate mail for example. When you are going to fsc in this set you are almost imune to trojans (the horse thingy, i dont know what they are called) because they deal normal damage. But you cant take damage from anything else before you are on your knees begging for a health capsule to drop from the next monster and besides, wy would you even use it, neither you or your team mates benefit from it and you call that being "tanky and slow". Lets be honest here, i mean who, no for real who the hell plays fsc with the acient plate mail. The attack and movment speed decreas just isnt worth the extra "tankynes" you get out of it. But dont get me wrong love the acient plate mail just for that reason, i just want more of it.

Now you might be asking yourself, what on cradel does this guy want! I want a reason for something to exist in the game, i want something to be good when you try to be good with it and im not talking about forgeing your gear to level 10 with the new forging system (lousy pice of sh..). No im talking about having setbonuses in the game to give some of the forgoten weapons a bit more reason to exist.

Let me give you some examples allright:
1. Lets go back to the calahan situation, so the whole point of the calahan and the ironslug weapons is to knock softbodied enemies over so that they cant move. And what kind of enemies are softbodied, fiends and beast of course. (wich both are weak agains piercing btw).

And what enemies in the game are hard to hit with the calahan or any other gun for that matter? Well fiends and beast of course.

And what is the best way to solve this problem. Well duh, use blizt neelde stupid, Or you could make a set bonus for the shadowsun set to have an increased projectile speed when you equip the whole set so that you could actually hit thoes nasty gorgos that fly around everywere. And in doing so you help to improve the neutralizer at the same time.(whatever that it)

2. Back to the plate mail. I said before that i love that plate mail just becaus it gives you a feeling of being tanky. But then you relise that you really arent. And the whole idéa of the movment and attack speed decrease is that you are suposed to be moving alot slower, but in reality you arent. I mean when im using it i dont feel a diference in moving and attacking slower at all. At least not enought that i have to calculate were to attack to prevent me from getting hit.

So i thougt to myself as i was playing a bit with the set. Wouldnt it be cool if ,when i had the full set equiped, i had a movment and attack speed decreased of max and instead of using swords and guns, i ran (or i mean slowly drag myself ) around and placed down bombs while im being targeted by all the enemies to help my team take them down, you know as a tank in many other videogames works. And in return i will be given a huge defense boost and an increased guard meter to my shield so that i can sustain much more damage, because everything is out to get me. And everyone else can focus on dealing damage.

So thats wy i think there should be setbonuses in the game.

Holy cow you actually redd the whole thing, well gz to you m8. Hopefully i made you think about having setbonuses in the game a bit. And please give me your feedback on this because want to expand this idéa and balance it so that maybe just maybe we will see some kind of reaction from OOO or gamemasters or whoever is incharge of this masterpice.
