I feel like the game is coming to an end, with all of the new Shadow zones and what not. Why don't we, once we've recovered what we need from this planet, begin exploring other planets the gremlins have inhabited and constructed?
New planets
The Shadow lair just feels like an end-of-the-game content. to me.
I want a new planet! But first, open the core, (portals inside?) and fix the ship... Maybe the ship could become the second haven for awesome people. Also, five star just aint enough. We want more power.... Seven star maximum maybe? Seven is a fibbonnachi number, seven is magical etc etc etc...
Seven is the number of death.
Also, and escape pod cannon to the moon would be sweet. I said that somewhere else though.
shadow lairs are not end game because its not the core, or is it? im kinda iffy with the door of the core in the background of the shadow lair pic.
But we still have the rest of Cradle! Why are we going to go to other planets if we have only knowledge of a vertical point of Cradle, from Haven to the core's surface?! No planets yet. Then OOO will have a terrible handful to carry after the "new world" is shown. No, no planets here. Just one.
I like the canon idea, but they will probably charge 120000CE just to use it once (if it ever happens). Meh... I like the idea of going to the moon though...
@Marazo: Just look at the top right side of this page. Also, thats the core at the bottom.
Also nostalgia
yea i agree we need new planets with different types of teirs that would be cool and insted or regular 4 and 5 star armor on the new planets they should make new names like "dark 1 star armor, or dark 5 star armor" and stuff like that. They should make it like a whole new planet kind of like the game "spores creatures" staying on the same planet is cool until you know everything about it.
Canon Idea I like, and the shadow lairs S-U-C-K. Let me spell it out. That is why people want new content, but not impossible nearly unobtainable content for gamers who play without paying money. And as for the core, they will not open it for a long time if ever. We want the mooooooon/new planet, but I think the moon is a better idea. ALso, a canon would randomize the shot, taking you to a different level nearly every time.
Yeah, but going by the Moon in the top-right of this page, it looks really messed up. How the hell are we going to do heck all on that disintegrating ball of rock?
Cradle still isn't done and you want other planets?
We' been going down at one point (haven Arcade) of the planet. It could simply be something like exploring the whole surface of the planet 'till we find new elevators with new alcheming machines, or a different group of strangers that built their own twon and clokworks,etc. No need for other planets.
That would be cool. But then the game becomes somewhat free-roaming, and that would mess up CE.
The moon would be more awesome. Of course, cradle would be the MAIN part of the game. Once you are REALLLY powerful, there could be MORE weapons, MORE awesome armour, MORE awesome guns... You get the point. Story? Cradle's moon is falling apart, threatening the entire planet of cradle. With time running out, a new canon/Skylark? was made/fixed? to get to the moon and back to find a way to stop the coming apocalypse. But now, strange monsters stop these knights from saving the moon.....
New Haven anyone? On the moon, AWESOME battles that have so many enemies they need 5-7 maximum for a party, a new "moonbase" (dont worry, no space suits here, after all, Spiral Knights ARE robots, though very intelligent robots of course ;)
Too bad that this will never happen, Three Rings wants $$$ so they will just make more ridicolous and expensive and impossible-to get core levels if you play for free, until I dont even consider this a "free game" >:(
After all, when have the people at spiral knights actually listened to our good ideas?
AGAIN why not new spots on Cradle? We barely know the planet's surface, not to mention the brand new "other world". And you can get CE with crowns. you don't really have to pay using CE, although it does help the Crowns4Energy economy if more people buy energy. Why an entire new planet while we can still explore this world further? Like another "haven" place, like on board the crashed, yet non-functional Skylark? We still haven't been IN the core to start with!
That is stupid. Period. I know I will get trolled for saying this, but walkin' on the surface? NOT HAPPENING! Get real. Three Rings wants money and walking around using no Ce at all=no money. "oh no no, put GATES on the surface! Also stupid. Everyone will just walk around on the surface. Cmon, this isnt WoW or something. As for the core, once it opens, it will just be a VERY muchly extreme hard thingy THAT NO ONE will be able to defeat. Plus, I know you heavy-duty. Is that you, running around Havens in proto armour trying to beg? Anyhow, Off topic, the real thing is that the core will not Open FOR A Long long long long longx10000 time. At least Three RIngs could get TONS of money by overpricing the canon/skylark way to get up to the moon, (look up by a comment or so, Idea is there). Brand new other world! Shadow Lairs! How AWESOME! How OVERPRICED! HOW USELESS! To get a shadow key, simply open lockboxes that are hard to obtain, and then use 750 CE to open them! Better yet, you have a 3% chance of getting a shadow key in these lockboxes! New world? Oh joy. And how did they get these shadow keys? Money, real money. I am a FREE player. Three RIngs has the argument, "but shadow key can support an ENTIRE party!" We free players should have a SLIGHTLY obtainable new world. Like an awesome, dissolving moon (top right of this page), that you have to save, because if you dont, the moon will fall and crunch cradle into a squished bug, releasing all the energy in the core and blasting away the solar system of cradle. How to get there? See my last comment.
Really need to tone down the rage before you blow a blood vessel. You need to stop looking at shadow keys like its a mandatory thing, or how all content should be easily accessible to you, because your not willing to contribute to the system (in money or in "effort").
Back on topic though. Overworld doesn't have to be fundamentally cost-less and broken. For instance...
1. Build new tile set
2. Add new monsters for landscape
3a. Replace function of Elevator with Hovercraft/APC - powered by Energy
3b. or Teleport pads if you want to go super SciFi - also powered by Energy
4a. Create new Objective to clear dangerous obstruction - Complete objective - call ride
4b. Create new Objective - Retrieve Object on far side of map - bring back to gate, go to next level
5. The Mainspring Mountains.... Elevators go up.
BTW I end up selling stuff... lots of stuff when I do beg, and no I do not wear protoarmor because now my noob looks crazy with different accessories I buy from the AH. ANYWAYS there already happens to be an elevator AT the Core so we could infer that OOO is planning something for the Core, even as we speak. and NO ONE is able to defeat the Core? Seriously? OOO made a game, not a brick that laughs at you while you cannot find a way to be done with it. Anyways, how will you not know that OOO will not overprice the ship or launch cannon to get you to the moon!?!?!?!? I do not pay either, and I await for someone to get a shadow key, because I'm not opening a lock box any time soon, mostly for armory reasons. So another new world would be cheaper than the new world just released? As if. Dissolving new moon? GREAT IDEA! ANOTHER SHADOW LAIR EVENT! Sure. And "New haven" would easily be a new money magnet for OOO, if that's what you're worrying about. By the way, you can so easily get CE through CR. don't like the new stuff? Don't play the new stuff, if you do still want to keep playing Spiral Knights (not inferring you want to quit or anything). New stuff always puts me forward to preparing for, and I'm game, but the main argument I had was WHY ANOTHER PLANET/MOON. OOO wants to push forward new schemes all the time, so it's in vain to ask for non-energy schemes that are completely major to the story or main gameplay (While Minigames could be considered as a minor game in the larger game). Stay on haven for a while until it's completely booked, and space adventures seem more expensive than traveling to the next active surface town. And the moon will crush Cradle? So what is Cradle? Pluto, just as large as its moon? More like crush Haven. Haven's/Cradle's destruction-yes. Outer Space-I don't think so. Also, as a free player, would you WANT more energy "schemes" for others to buy while you see Crystal Prices go down for the Cr4Ce as more energy spontaneously appears from real money, and free players would just use Crowns for energy instead of turning to P2P players. people want to invest their money in SK, fine. I don't really want to though unless my money spontaneously appears through gift or something. I don't know. Now go back to topic. Outer Space for a moon/planet? I say no for the reasons explained.
It's a concept problem I have with the new planets idea. Ideas explained could easily apply to new sections of Cradle, am I correct? We literally have not even scratched Cradle's surface while we have dug so down deep, yet we await new planets.
Ehm guys, did you already forgot one point at the beginning of the whole game!?
Our Knights were crash landed on a unknown planet (Cradle) with their Skylark!!!
And when I'm thinking about it, not one single living creature on cradle is talking about, where the Knights are coming from, heck we don't have any clues!
The idea with exploring new planets could us lead to finally know what happened to the home planet.
Here are some questions that I'm asking myself:
-Why did the Knights left their Home Planet
-Where they on a long journey for a new home
-What are we actually? Since we can't see our faces.
I believe this will come after we found out what happened with the crew who were lost in the core which hides itself more mystery.
The new planets could have different systems to get there, instead of a elevator we're using ships to get from one point to another.
Also new Bosses and enemies will be added, I doubt that Jelly King, Twins, Snarby and Vana manage to get on other planets.
P.S. that would mean we are Aliens lol
@plutogold
You bring up several points that explain the suggestion in my OP. We ARE aliens to this planet, we ARE capable and have accomplished space travel, but WHY were we doing it, and once we accomplish out goal on this ONE PLANET, what will be the next objective. People HAVE reached the core. That is the goal, sure it may have uncompleted content, but what will we do when the core is released, complete the game? I MOST CERTAINLY HOPE NOT. New planets, this is why. Maybe make and anti-gremlin orc race? A large giant rusted hunk of metal created by Orcs, similar too, but not as well done as gremlins, and perhaps at this point a truce with said grems? AND some alien races and creatures would be fun :3
WTF? Septuple post? never had that before......(septuple means seven)
Rofl at your fail setuple posts XD
Um... Desouler... That was uncalled for.
Alright, it's all good. I thought it was much more negative.
Does this mean hes suggesting a planet populated by Seven Headed forum dwellers?
Tinkinzar, Vog (skolver?), the core, tossing around idea of devillite CEO, what happened to Almire, repairing the ship, more and more and more...
