So the guild hall is making steady progress

We have two wings and an alchemy room, we've begun work on a bedroom

Balrog put GBT and I into officer mode so we can buy furniture and upgrades so we've been trying to make the guild hall not shit
We're trying not to bankrupt the guild

[Balrog]

We interrupt this thread to bring you a special bulletin from Guild Master Balrog.

If you've been on the guild chat these past few days, you're probably aware that I've had several issues requiring GM support in the past few days. Most recently I got this as a response:



Unfortunately, I can't update my drivers, as my computer relies on OEM drivers that haven't been updated through the entire life of my computer. If these issues persist I will not be able to play Spiral Knights regularly. As a precautionary measure, I have promoted Zerokk to the rank of Guild Master; in the event of my extended absence, he will manage the guild. I hope this won't be too much of an issue.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled discussion.

[Ceridran]

Oh, I thought you were resigning and/or quitting Cutstuff.

EDIT:

While I'm here, and while these COULD go on the Random Videos thread, it happens to be on the subject of Spiral Knights.

If the guy actually didn't use a real Genesis soundfont then whatever because I don't actually Sega Genesis so I probably won't know for sure.

Now that you mention construct music...
These two sound eerily similar

Every time I construct stage I only hear Luigi's Mansion

So I just got my Tier 3 certification. Oh boy. 4-star gear was a pain in the toids to get, so 5-star gear is going to hurt.

Guys help I've played for five days straight aaaaaaaaaaa

[Ceridran]

Er, how do you already have 4 star?!

Am I really just that slow? And constantly making dumb swap decisions on everything I do like gunner gear, arc razor, bombing, planning on "versatile armor" which can potentially screw me over, and yes I ended up buying a drake scale helmet recipe, boosted plate shield, etc. I could've had all/near all my 5* gear by now if I didn't make a bunch of those mistakes.

[Thunderono]

I'm sharing the pain that Zerokk is, since apparently we chose the same sword line.
Basically, our swords require krogmo coins to obtain, which can only be obtained by playing the PvP.
The problem is, you're awarded one krogmo coin per game without the booster and two with it.
You are not awarded krogmo coins for being the winner.
What this means is that Zerokk and I will be stuck grinding krogmo coins forever.  Once I get my boltbrand, though, I'll have tier 3 certification.

[Ceridran]

I forgot that getting new gear became significantly easier since the update, due to star-seperated alchemy orbs that can appear by rare chance, but the seperation in general.

The full line of Voltedge, Triglav, and Plague Needle all take 300 Krogmo Coins at maximum, due to all the recipes. By now, I've spent 150 on both Shockburst Brandish and Boltbrand. I have 150 coins to go.

I feel your pain; I chose to buy a Troika specifically to evolve it into the Grintovec (Triglav line) because guaranteed 100% Freeze chance is better than any other sword in the game. Even the Gran Faust. Because screw the Lockdown meta.

I have a Krogmo Booster I don't really need that much though; if you don't feel like playing the market for Energy trades or buying the Energy yourself (with real money), I could always sell it to you directly. Or Zerokk. Probably Zerokk.

I'm still trying to find that darn Super Rock Salt recipe.

Actually, you should sell it to Thunder. Seeing as I'm mostly geared up for Lockdown, (Warmaster Rocket Hammer that I never even use, Duck Retribution or Boltbrand as an alternative, Vog Cub Coat, Vog Cub Cap assuming I get a Flame Soul, shields don't matter.) it'd be a smarter decision for him to use it.

[Thunderono]

I'm under the influence of a booster.  While I will need the 150 coins later for the voltedge, I'm very close to getting the boltbrand as of typing this post.

Actually, it's significantly harder to get new gear, since instead of having completely reliable Mist Energy to craft things with, you have dropped orbs, which are so rare that finding one is a screenshot-worthy event. The star separation basically means you're forever doomed to have a handful of orbs you can't use for whatever reason.

[Hallan Parva]

I prefer the orbs, myself. Sure, you don't get 100 free "Energy" to burn on crafting, but then again you also don't have to worry about grinding your balls off to get enough Crownage to buy the other 700 from other players, or turn to spending the dreaded REAL MONEY instead. There's also the fact that Mist wasn't used for crafting half the time (unless you were already 5-Star, in which case what's the fucking POINT) since most players just burned through it for revives or elevator costs. The new orbs are rare drops, sure, but I always manage to find one after doing a boss run on Elite so it's not like finding one is the end of the world or anything. Even if you can't find one yourself, you still have the option to grind your balls off to get enough Crownage to buy orbs from other players, or trade in Energy obtained from REAL MONEY for the orbs you need.

In other words, I enjoy the new system of everything being free, and actually preferring the old Mist Energy system makes you just sound resilient to change. Really, you've managed to make a flaw for nearly every new feature in the megapatch, and you can't even keep them straight half the time. ("Stop playing on disabled orangutan mode"? Real funny once you get your ass handed to you in a freaking Deconstruction Zone of all things.)

[Ceridran]

He doesn't even have a battle sprite.

I suppose he has a love/hate relationship with the mist removal.
