Hello everyone.

I will make this suggestion simple and straight forward. The PvP type of game in SK is accessible by either joining a random team (queuing for random team) or by forming a guild team and playing against another guild who already formed a team and waiting in the queue.

What I would like to be in the next update is that another type of PvP game (maybe called Challenge Match or something similar) where anyone can form a team (does not matter if in a guild or not) and challenge another team. For example, I form a team and a friend of mine forms another one and challenge each other in a Lockdown or Blast Network game. As I see it, this will make the game even more interesting as it is always enjoyable to play against your friends.

Another point is putting a tournament (for guilds to participate), maybe sessions or something similar, as this will make guilds to step up and play them for fun, prizes (top 3) and promoting the guilds by showing their skills too.

To summarize, having the PvP Challenge Matchs option will help players to develop their PvP skills as a friendly team or even as a guild for tournaments, mostly important is having fun, everyone has fun playing with friends... who does not? Not to forget that i hope the PvP gameplay will be free of charge (without costing crowns to play) sometime in the upcoming updates.

Thanks for your time, and hope you guys like the idea as well as the GM of Spiral Knights.
Post your thoughts about the idea as we can develop even more options for PvP gameplay.

The words of apathy

Do not refer to admins directly in this forum, it discourages them from considering the content and alludes you are pushing them to read the thread. Also do not use "people will like it", "it will make the game more enjoyable", or similar phrases without substantial information to support this opinion. "Liking" and "enjoying" are emotions. Emotions are not fact. Does not compute. Error. Error. Must destroy toe sock factory. Beep boop.

The problem with this is it is essentially just making the minigames act as an alternate mechanic of running Clockworks where users can invite each other to parties to participate. For veterans this means all the lower tier users will spam invites forever. This thread suggests allowing Lockdown and Blast Network to have an inviting and party system. Most users would be against this as it would allow acquainted users to gang up on a few unassociated rookies for easy victories.

Someone else reply to these threads, I have been mopping up around here for too long today.

Um...

Ever heard of guild lockdown? Leave the forums until you play this game for longer than a few hours.

i like this idea.

i like this idea as long as when you form a team, you are only allowed to play against someone else who forms a team. not to fight against another random form team. i think this idea lets players who are not associated in a guild get together and have fun without having to be part of the same guild. also, about the guild tournament, that would be a great idea if it was formed, that way it would increase competition between guilds and show who is the top guild out there. i support this idea, hope more support it.

@Luguiru:
Well, it's a suggestion that I put it in the forum, as well as that i didn't mention on pushing the GMs to read the thread, this is a suggestion page where anyone can put what they think would be a nice idea for the game to have. About the (phrases), I asked many players I know in the game who experienced the PvP game in SK and they gave me their responses and them seem to like the idea as it give more chances to play different type of PvP in the game, I don't just make things without investigating if it would be good or not.
The game mainly focus on the clockwork, yeah but the PvP is so fun, if you would prefer the PvE over PvP it's your personal preferences but others will differ, not everyone the same. True veterans will be spammed to join random groups, but that should not be a big problem, in my view, as you can add people to the ignore list and you won't get any spamming invites.

@Aemicus:
I have been playing the game for over 7 months so far, so I know a lot about the game and I know what I'm saying. I don't know maybe you misunderstood my point... ?

@Blandaxt:
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the idea and supporting it, those are exactly the points.

We already have a feature like this. Guild lockdown.

@Aemicus

That's still not my point sir, I pretty much described how lockdown is accessed, but I also put in parentheses (does not matter if in a guild or not) and you quoted it, that's pretty much what I meant. Weather you are in a guild or not, you can form a team and challenge your friend's team by sending him/her a challenge request, that's what I meant in that point, and SK doesn't have this feature.
