so i have some friends rage quitting saying the game's drop mechanics are rigged (not random) can anyone enlighten me to whats really going on behind the scenes?

Hello, I am trying to predict my first loadout. I am at the moment free to play to try this game out, and my least favorite status in tier 1 has been poison and shock.

Poison is a pain especially if you are going against the devils. You'll get swarmed and of course you could just use a pill, except poison is blocking healing and makes you unable to eliminate the swarm asap. It just isnt something I am comfortable with, having that mechanic be blocked out from use since I think its important being able to heal when swarmed.

Im not new just havent been on in a while when crafting lets 4 star gear does the gear have to be exatly level 5 or can it be above that because i think i recalled when i played a while ago it had be the exact level.

My problem is this: When i play on same computer before my brother and i use 50 mist energy he will have only 50 mist energy. So i cant play after my brother and he cant play after me and i dont know what will solve this.

We dont share one account but we share one computer and we registred from same computer.

Help please!

I seem to struggle with freeze traps and freeze bullets\needles. If I get in a freeze trap or stuck by a freeze bullet and no one is around to break the ice or I have no remedies, I almost always am stuck until I die - either by freeze damage or freeze and bullets. I cannot even make progress out of the freeze danger.
What am I missing in how to escape a freeze trap?
Or is this always the case, a permanent freeze unless broken by someone, remedy, or a lot of resist? I use wolver top and bottoms.

EDIT: Based on other posts around the forums, I'm guessing this is safe, but I'm still not entirely sure.

I'm new to the forums, and have only just recently started playing the game again, and have a question about whether or not the following would violate the terms of service.

How does UVs work with ld? Is there any point to getting "Effective against monster" uvs on a weapon?

I'm a nooby guy who has been playing Spiral Knights for at least a week now, but this is my question: is the wiki's hybrid guide reliable? It's the build that most appeals to me, but I'm not sure if I should follow it. thx if you answer me.

Sorry to bother you guys but would any of you kindly post the link?
I have already searched google xP
