What's in Development - September 2013

Why are they in the game's files if they're UN-released? >.>

Except for the fact that they're not.

Wait wait, with the gunner update...

INB4 IRON SLUG BUFF!

Sorry, someone has probably said that 'afore me.

So I'll admit, I was about the bomb. Didn't see it so assumed 000 skipped over it again.

wait a minute... does that mean there will be new missions before rank 10...?

also i'd really like to see what you mean by "sandbox experience," sounds interesting, but if its what im thinking, it could go very bad...

There is gonna be something with Iron slugs brother...

Is the gunner update and new missions going to come out at the same times? I can't believe it's the 11th already.

There should be an event(over the period of a few weeks) where all of the previous events combine.

One event to rule them all would be so hectic. The prestige missions would be flooded, and everyone would complain about recycled content/prices of stuff/radiant fire crystals not being fixed/other things us forumers find to complain about. Events being limited time is fine, and if Three Rings wants to recycle that content again in a year, I say go for it. Just, please, not all at once, we saw how that went down with just two events at once.

I was beginning to think Spiralknights wouldn't come back

Welcome to SK.

Where people are fixated on the world's most boringest PVP minigame and nonsense on the forums. Enjoy your stay!

've logged in just to say that I share your feelings xD

I've been out for the last 6 months, now i'm back, excited for the new features.

Welcome to the Spiral Knights forums, the site where the threads are made up and your points don't matter!

EXCEPT to us forumers

Anyone else wondering if ooo will manage to get the update out this month still? Considering the month is half over I'm wondering if it'll be pushed to December.

But... what about WINTERFEST. *cheers*
(It's my first; I'm pretty excited)
I think the update will come around January sadly... all my friends from LoG (League of Gunners) are highly anticipating it, but they know where the fate stands of the new guns...
SOOON.
One day at a time...

Post-Vanguard Rank missions? Does that mean the Core is going to open soon?

not necessairly, the new boss is T3.

I kinda don't think so I feel like they ditched the going into the core idea.

They may have put it on the backburner Fadingfx, but they haven't thrown the idea away forever. Sooner or later they have to open the Core. Nick and other Mods have specifically stated time and time again that they are working on it, so we know it's coming eventually.

1. What lies inside the heart of Cradle?
2. What happened to the Recon Team?
3. Do the Spiral Knights ever repair the Skylark and return home?

They have to open the core at some point to answer these questions. The game can't just stay on a cliffhanger forever.

Prediction!

First two will be wrapped up, last one will not.

Notice the plot has changed to (save dying homeworld) instead of (get off this godforsaken rock).

If it turns out the core cannot be "unplugged" and carried with them, we may very well see the knights move in on cradle.

It's pretty nice on the surface, after all.

Fair enough, but we have to see what's inside the cradle and discover the fate of the Recon team at some point.

The update come in November 27th 2013

EDIT : Nvm, they extended it.

Knowing that 000 needs $$$, I expect that when the core opens, we will either go into another dimension/time or will fight Cradle/Trinkizar then travel another planet.
Also the new boss will hopefully give us more insight into the other Crimson order members/specialties.

Moved up to targeted release in January, whats everyone think about that?

Money, Money, Moneyyyyy.

Me thinks that 000 made a mistake announcing release for this November when they have the busiest time of the year approaching from the North Pole. Along with Winterfest me also think a new rose reg event is on the way. Shame I wont be around to grab some sets. January maybe end of February is more realistic. What ever 000s are planning is big and very important to them hence why they are delaying the release.

So the new item or update will be test in preview server first?

Arcade update? New T3 boss? More stuff?

My love/hate relationship with OOO just went a little bit more to the love side

By stuff they mean a gunner update. Which was conveniently "delayed" to a January release, instead of a November release.

Oh My God
So COOOL

Like this?

Everyone just gotta love Anime :P

This is no doubt a great improvement, but what i really wish is making radiants more common. Right now, radiants are so rare, its not even worth upgrading 4 star weapons to 5 star. From experience, my fully levelled up 4 star weapons are more powerful that than my 5 star weapons which are still not fully levelled up due to the high demand of radiants. It would be most helpful if radiants were more commonly found.

If the Gunner Update is due sometime in January, when will the new rank missions and new boss come?

No! Shut up! They are taking our mind off of it so they can stall it no!

Radiants.. where are you(Besides Shadow Lair) T_T

With Kozma.

Actually, Kozma has been raiding the clockworks like nuts and is holding all the Radients hostage.

She also killed Boost.

Can we kill her?

I don't feel comfortable injuring girls ._.

Kozma is wearing the most adorable scarf and santy hat combo.

Someone has proably brought this up before me, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE MOON? Chances are the moon, like cradle, will be part or totaly mechanical, maybe even have a atmosphere like Cradle. I mean, in the starting screen, we can see the debris floating about it, which could have easily come from hollowing it out, to replace the inside with something a little bit more... sinister. Because, The Power Core has enough power to get the Lark of the surface, but not enough to really fly it. Maybe recover something from FSC (?) or something from gremlins, that acts as another power source, allowing transport between both planetoids. It would tie in with Post-Vanguard missions, and OOO could eaisly make this moon a "Elite" Area, with more powerful monsters, a new boss for this area? And come on, you have to admit, a moon-scape would be pretty cool.

The only flaw with this is that they can breath Cradle's atmosphere. Would the need a space suit to be on the moon?

FINALLY YOU'RE MAKING A NEW BOSS SOOOOO HAPPY BUT while you're at it please remove the new heating system IT SUCKS.

New Heating system sucks balls. It needs to be changed.
I don't know what the problem was with the old "mist energy" and $5.99 a month energy pass.
SOMETHING needs to change...I don't care if it's a monthly cost to "bypass" the use of those virtually non-existent radiant fire crystals. I just don't want to pay upwards of $300 just to heat my 20 5* items to level 10... it's absolutely insane...

"I don't know what the problem was with the old "mist energy" and $5.99 a month energy pass."

Because it allows newcomers to be able to play longer than just an hour or two.

After their Energy ran out, they would beg in Haven for more, wander around a bit, & then stop playing altogether. It wasn't good for the game.

see, problem with the forge is not the forge itself, it's radiants. instead of fixing the forge, OOO should fix the radiant drop.

.

Radiant fire crystal's drop rate definitely needs to be increased. It's rather a shame that they are basically non-existent. But like I said in my previous post... SOMETHING needs to be done about this issue. It is an issue, and it needs to be delt with.

You got 4 options

1) FSC

2) OCH

3) Supply Depot

4) Shadow Lairs
