saw this little freak glitching out in the far distance (that's why the quality is Like That. also it just makes it funnier). dw i put 'em out of its misery.

I think that I'm speaking for a lot of people, casual like hardcore players (if they still exist), but fashion in this game is like walking on a road with plenty of landmines on the way.

How come freaking accessories cost MILLIONS.

It went to a point we're a single item can cost more that actual equipment.

I love fashion, I love making skins in games overall and that's what I wanted to do in this game too.

But honestly ?

Seeing people (mostly always the same) offering cosmetics for much more than what they're actually worth is what's killing the economy.

I really hope that once Grey Havens caught up with basic updates and quality of life add-ons, they add another way for cosmetics. Because you won't ever see me paying 1.2m for horns to someone hoarding 9k+ items and millions more crowns.

That's just absurd.

This upcoming balance patch got me thainking...

We're gonna have 6 types of caliburs now:

1.) Leviathan Blade/Scissors: Highest normal damage, 3-hit charge attack

2.) CIV: Slightly less normal damage, 3-hit charge, higher damage against undead (Is that really useful tho?)

3.) Celestial Saber: Leviathan Blade but with stun

4.) Sweet Dreams: CIV but with stun (+ less knockback, I think?)

5.) Fang of Vog: Elemental calibur; insane 4-hit charge attack - comes with obvious self-burn drawback, but normal attacks are OK aswell. (+ Slower = higher range!)

6.) Amputator: Normal version of FoV; 4-hit charge attack which could be cool, NO self-burn, very high damage bonus against slimes.. Is this really needed? it's very hard to use these types of weapons against slimes, imo.

Now, ask yourselves, will anything other than the FoV and Amputator see unironic use?

-The Leviathan blade is gonna be slightly weaker, all things considered, because of the 3-hit charge attack instead of 4 - and the increased knockback which can fuck with teammates heavy (on certain levels) or hamper the damage of the sword itself against certain mobs.

-The CIV and the stunny reskins are gonna be buffed as well, in addition to the Sweet Dreams having less knockback (?) so this could be a very potent all-rounder weapon if actually getting it doesn't scare the player.

But still: The FoV and Amputator will outperform all of these simply because of the 4-hit charge attack...

That's why I propose that the Amputator should stay as a brandish so the strongest calibur would still have some valid drawbacks for deleting everything, while Amputator could get really stronk for free esentially. Admittedly, this opens up another can of worms of Amputator being the worst brandish, but that doesn't sway me from thinking that this re-classification is a very strange idea in the grand scheme of things.

Thots?

At least that's what I feel after somehow spending 1147 hours in game, according to Steam.

Weirdly enough, I don't mind the reused/recolored assets or the locked color schemes. But the accessory system is just the worst! Everything permanently attaches, and you either get the valuable accessories destroyed by Bechamel, or you can pay 10 to 25 real dollars PER ACCESSORY to recover them! I'm fully blaming SEGA for this by the way.

Also, unless there was a recent change, there is no "designer" where I could check literally everything how they look together, and I can't preview anything that isn't in the AH or in my collection. And these two work exclusively separately, so I can't see how something that is available for sale would look like with something I have, unless I already have it equipped! And I don't think there is a wish list or "save outfit" option either.

Why aren't the basic stuff we use during character creation available anywhere? You can't even get them from prize boxes. For example a military crescent helm: if you didn't make your character with it, then your only option to get one is to find someone who does have it and pay for the unbinding ticket. This basic stuff could and should be sold for crowns! The Wiki says that they are available as supply depot special sales for 5000 energy, but I don't remember ever seeing a single one, and it true, that's way too much for a basic/default costume item.

Anyway, I just wanted to complain a bit, I think the game could use significant improvements on this topic.

Wanted to show off the recent fits I've put together since coming back to the game, especially since I was lucky enough to pull an orbit aura on the equinox boxes. I was gunning for the Rogue Lite for the fox look, but I could never get it but the Pollinator came up on auction today so I busted but grinding the crowns to win the bid. And honestly, I might like it better because ofthe neck floof.^w^

I'm quite surprised to see the return of updates to this game.

Generally I don't see capital investment in Spiral Knights to be a worthwhile financial return. Are the developers just doing it for the love of the game?

I want to make a piercing armor :)

i leveled up so many items and 0 forge box, now after i spend 80k crown on tortodrone event the game decided to give me something

Hey everyone!

I used to play Spiral Knights a really long time ago, and I just remembered it existed, so I decided to give it another shot .My old character is still there, which is honestly crazy! The problem is that i logged in and realized I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing anymore. Are there any up to date guides or resources for returning players? Or any recommendations on how to get back into the game and relearn everything?

Thanks in advance!

Please reach out, you already know why

So yesterday i was sleeping and i dreamt with spiral knights, i have not played Sk for at least 4 years and i remeber i quit cuz ofc no dead game + i was so tilted by all of the economy based on BK event wich i was super unlucky in it (no book in 2 events back to back), anyway i literaly dreamed thath the devs launched and update where you coud BUY BODK for 750 BK TOKENS, and it fealt so real i jumped to SK website to see if it was true, sadly it dind't find anything, weird thing is i even dreamt of an article written by the devs wich fealt so surreal. i wish this was true, woud you guys think this is a good idea?

[SOLVED, this post is what finally worked, the culprit was MSCTFUI]

These issues started during the first spike event and haven't gone away.

1. At the start of the video, you can see that the background OBS flashes in everytime i shoot, and you can even notice the Close [X] icon flash everytime i do so. Now im not really sure why this happens, and this worsens if I play on fullscreen.
2. Another issue is while i attack and move in tandem, the movement key seems to freeze in that direction and i cant resolve it unless i tab out of the SK window, this happens quite frequently.

If anyone has any ideas, would greatly appreciate it.

I played Spiral Knights from start to endgame-ish and made a review of the journey. Thought I'd share it here. Hope you enjoy

Question is in the title

Why is Mandolin have slight change of stun but orbitgun and mixmaster have good chance for fire and shock?

Is it that powerful if stun have moderate chance?Fire and shock can finish off enemies faster.

Is it because you use real world money it need to have that much advantages?
