Firstly, this isnt a suggestion, so it doesnt go in the Suggestions forum.
Secondly, this does not include AA NOOOO000B raging, so it doesnt belong in the Coliseum.

So what would you do (just one thing), or would like to have done, to make the game more enjoyable?

Personally, I would absolutely love increasing the probability of bombhead appearances in the bribes.
Imo, bombhead matches in LD make almost everybody try, and it usually has frew ragers, and is extremely enjoyable. In other words, it brings the best, or close to it, out of LDers. It actually makes the typically one soded games enjoyable. Increasing the bombhead rate would allow more people to try, and not sit around or troll. Brings out skilled matches, and kes it more fun for players and spectators alike. In addition, it may add to more frwquent bribes.

What do you guys think?

Aside from the obvious answer that I believe takes precedent + everyone expects from me, and just to rehash for those who don't expect from me:
-No more heat crystals via star level = just "fire crystal", used for everything in varying amounts and findable everywhere. Or at least appropriate drop rates for fire crystals. In the mean time I would run the apocrea event again during the anniversary, to give people a chance to farm radiants.
-Level Editor
-Guarantee from OOO that no more absurd gambling endeavors that directly require actual cash money will be necessary to attain unique gear; i.e. that new shield that I don't like.
-Arcade reform
-Gear rebalance such that all gear is plausible to use and interesting, as I described in my thread once.

I would make a mini game that revolves around defending something, and have it reward players with some sort of reward. Maybe as part of coliseum. That would be fun. "Who can last the longest."

Basically, what I said here- http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/74848

-make more levels like the Heart of Ice, challenging but not cheap.
-remove grinchlin assualt or revamp it so that everthing drop stuff, OOO, quit being cheap on me, the grand solice ring is crap.
-make the costumes more distinct in terms of gender, give away to more role play.
-less prize boxes, if there is boxes, at least make the rare stuff drop more often, 1%? R u Seerus?
-Make this the theme song while I am fighting a giant nick jelly cube

OOO's theme song, this describes them perfectly:

The unenlighted gamers,
You cannot make the judgement call,
Give up your free will forever,
Your voices won't be heard at all.

Display your paypal,
While never begging for more contents,
And blindly swear your fanbase,
Let your MMO control your mind,
LET YOUR MMO CONTROL YOUR SOUL!

Play in ignorance,
And purchase your shiny boxes,
When the cash and money is the real cause,
Thinking ceases and the thruth is lost!

Don't you worry,
UFSC will be exactly what you grind,
We give our players the promos they need,
The RNG shall succeed.

The fires of greed will burn the F2P,
So we will make mist tanks obsolete!
Breaking down the fabrics of reality!
Let UI update control what you see!

Let your MMO control your soul,
Let your MMO control your mind.
LET YOUR MMO CONTROL YOUR SOUL,
LET YOUR MMO CONTROL YOUR MIND!!!

What does your song have to do with anything?

Stop designing content that

Stop designing content that disappears after two weeks when the game is already content starved. Or at least put it on a rotation so there's always an event going on.

well...

In terms of happiness of acquisition, make prize boxes in sets of two, and sell the ones with the annoying gamble in the supply depot. If I buy a box with real money, I expect what is advertised. If I'm paying my time (I.e., grinding for energy), then give me a gamble that I can get the neat stuff, but I don't necessarily have the best chances because if I truly was yearning for the items, I should pay real money.

In terms of happiness in gameplay, I would hire some quality assurance professionals and have them join random aspects of the game under aliases and under a Three Rings name. These people would assist in helping GMs on occasion, but also just play the game. These people would talk to Three Rings about balance issues, and what people generally think about these changes while seeming like other players.
They would:
Join arcade parties
Join missions lobbies
Join PvP games
Talk to players in Haven
Join various guilds
Add players as friends
Post on the Forums as a player
Basically, Three Rings would hire people to play their game and give them direct feedback about their game, and thus improve things.

No direct suggestions from me, but I know what I'd like. Give us some more social features and benefits. This is an MMO and what makes it unique from being a shelf game is that there are other real people. Give people better reasons to join guilds, play PvP, improve PvP and have a good time. There are a lot of games out there but this is the number one aspect that has kept me with SK for this long. Best not to take it for granted, we have a nice community around.

@Fehzor

The song basically describes what OOO really think about us, mindless fools who are willing to pay anything and waste all their time on this game. And the song is sang when I am fighting a giant jelly cube with moustache (AKA, Nick), hence the oppresive atmosphere is created.

Hell yeah! That's what I've been wanting since the beta! (The mission interface doesn't cut it)

Specific balances for armors, such as:
-All wolver lines, all demo armor and helm lines, and the 5* gunner armor and hats lose 10% of defense.
-Chaos gains 2 stun weakness but loses 20% of defense and all but one of its bonus hp.
-Arcane Salamander gains Gremlin bonus low per piece.
-Angelic gears (excluding Heavenly Iron) gain +5% normal defense.
-Divine Mantle gains Fiend Dmg Med.
-Jelly lines lose their sleep resistance and gain twice as many stun resistance points as they currently do now. Ice Queen gears excluded.
-Vitasuit becomes a new line, starting at 2*:
~Vitasuit, +3 hp, Vitasuit Plus, +5 hp, Vitasuit Deluxe, +7 hp, Vitasuit Supreme, +9 hp.

For weapon balancing:
-Rigadoon and Flamberge lines deal status at a good chance and a strong power
-Grintovic has fair chance of freeze, Jalovec and Khorovid have good chance of moderate status, Suda/Trig have good chance of status, troika line can deal status on normal hit, suda stun is strong, all 5* stuff applies to the Cleavers
-3* brandishes deal Moderate status, Blazebrand deals good chance of fire, all brandish lines deal 15% less damage (except for Cautery).
-Cold Iron swords deal VH undead bonus and can kill undead in Grim Totems.
-Volcanic Pepperbox deals strong fire.
-Pulsar lines become two clip and lose 25% of damage.
-Autogun line charges lose 20% of damage per charged needle.
-Magnus line deals 10% more damage and has more knockback.
-A single 2* normal damage shard bomb starts the branch, and Crystal, Dark, and Splinter evolve from that, Sun Shards and Sun Salt start at 4*, and all hit limits become removed.
-Stun on BAB and Irontech become Moderate.

-A new "Retreat" button in LD that teleports you to your base that is meant to free you from a tough situation or to get you out of a Shivermist spammer. It only works once per match, though.

-A new DLC. There are plenty of good ones all over the forums, I think at least one of them should make it.

-A limit of two prize box events before real updates (not events or "behind the scenes changes") such as an Arcade Redux update, forge balance (not an unbalanced equinox), NEW gear additions (reskins, pay2maybeget things like the Celestial Shield, and costumes don't count), or something that actually HELPS the USERS. Seriously, we've had what, ten prize box events and nothing new has happened?

-A few advertisements (non-SK) on the main website so that OOO can get some extra money without in-game ads or consecutive costumes.
