I was thinking how bout adding a game mode to the "Krogmo's Coliseum" for players who doesn't have PvP skill? But has PvE skill?

Basically, make this a tower defense game-mode. You have to make sure the enemies doesn't reach to the other end of the map and destroy your castle. But what is special about this game-mode is that you have to physically lay out all of the traps and turrets. But at the same time, you can still fight the wave of mobs. They drop heat (but in a different color), that you could use to upgrade your defenses.

Make it similar to this, basically (fun game!):

Don't forget to add co-op!

Sounds like dungeon

Sounds like dungeon defenders. Wouldn't mind the addition though, I love tower defense games.

I have a thought

I was thinking about a good TD but never got around to making the forum.
I think there should be two teams in the game one team defends your camp (Similar to Rescue Camp) (Spiral Knights don't have time to build castles just to see them crumble)

The visual appearance of the game should be a big tent where everyone spawns, but in two separate teams
One team gets a utility belt (This team builds the turrets)
One team invades the opposing forces (This team gets a shield and sword no gun)
(The equipment is similar to the lock down kind)

The thing is the bosses are the thing you need to destroy to stop the invasion.
So at the enemy's area the JK is standing there with the entire jelly race spawning.
The snarbolax is having a nap while his beast family emerges from the bushes around him that goes and kills everyone.
Lord Vanaduke is sitting in a throne while the undead leave behind their little home in the ground.
The Romulus twins are a special TD.
One of them directs the invaders while the other head is setting up gun puppies all over their side of the path so when the SK Team number 2 comes they gotta deal with gun puppies instead of normal construct minions.

The paths are simple for the normal TD bosses

It is a bunch of swirling paths all around the setting (A boiling graveyard, a forest, and palace hallways)
There will be unique traps on all of them and common ones to.
Team 2 will go in the same way the monsters get out.
The path width will be 2 trojans big enough.
The height should be a bit over the height of a trojan. ( There won't be any fiend or gremlin enemies due to the fact that there is no boss)
The builders are in charge of making permanent traps and temporary ones.
They will also have to create short cuts that are only big enough for a spiral knight so team 2 can have a easier time of reaching the boss.
The shortcuts are limited and they are very hard to make (depending on how OOO wants it to be) there will be signs over all build-able traps and shortcuts.

The requirements differ with every trap-
>Amount of knight builders needed to construct (or deconstruct for the shortcuts like clearing trees) this will be shown with a hammer picture
>Amount of colorful heat dropped by TD enemies that Teams 2 gets. This will be shown with a supernova picture.
>Amount of time needed to finish

The Romulus twins however you can not get out the same way the monsters came in.
The builders must create a shortcut that leads to the path where one of the twins placed a bunch of gun puppies only a few inches off the ground.
This way it makes them like the best TD boss (they can be the last stage boss if the game will be set up like that)
The builders can't help Team2 from there but they still have the duty of protecting the camp now that Team2 isn't on the ground fighting anymore.
This way the builders must quickly build all the permanent traps and then temporary ones to help prevent intruders.

Go ahead any response to this post on how it is the greatest idea in the whole world... AND NOTHING IS BETTER!
But go ahead and post any changing suggestions.

Teams... How about class mods?

Oak gear, that is a GREAT idea but... What about using class mods. There will be a belt and Sword mod for each team or 1 team.

That's all I'm saying...

i thought of something

i thought of something similar to this yesterday, not exactly tower defense, more like an arena with several lanes leading into a main room, and you have mines and Spiral Puppies (gun puppies modified to serve the Spiral Knights) you can lay out in each of these lanes, and the goal is just to survive as long as possible.
