I really want a new free for all PvP mode on Spiral Knights. I don't want it to be a minigame like Blast Network, I just want it to be regular fighting. I understand that they had trouble working with Super Brawl/Super Brawl Ultimate because they said it wasn't balanced well and not everyone can win but there has got to be one logical solution that Three Rings can work with. To balance bombs, I think for this PvP mode or coliseum, bombs shouldn't have to be charged, you can just plant them one by one and like Blast Network you can collect bonuses for the bombs. I heard that Three Rings banned Super Brawl because bombers couldn't win, it wasn't possible.
Can you even imagine a bomber winning? No you can't, but that's probably gonna be the best to balance bombs. I find guns and swords to be a pretty good material still but that is still a problem that Three Rings holds into Spiral Knights. Now, they don't take them weak like bombs but they said that people spam weapons like Polaris or hammers that would make it to unevenly matched and unfair. Now I agree with that but do not fear, I yet still have a solution. You could reduce the strength of the weapon and make them not to fast but I don't think they should be slow. Just lower the strength alittle bit and not make them overpowered and make them seem like a regular averaged weapon but still, you can keep the rest of the abilities like elemental purposes or shadow purposes but the way they are spammed, fast, and overpowered is the problem but that's why you can make it like Lockdown: Make it only evenly matched with your tier level but I still think it would be a good thing for this game to have a team mode also so it could be like Lockdown without capturing the bases.
This mode should include:
-Even Tier Levels
-Costumes To Be Worn
That's the end of my suggestion, give me your opinion on it please.
Mist bombs will still not kill, while nitronome would be spammed like hell.
Polaris doesnt have a damage problem. Even if it deals 0.0001 damage, it can still push and lock you into a corner.
Also since guns=ranged, maps have to be small and limited (read boring).
