3:53 PM - Zerokk: Woah woah woah woah woah UPDATING?
3:53 PM - Zerokk: They released it today?
3:53 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: I guess
3:53 PM - Zerokk: Checking
3:53 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: Prepare for much chapping of asses
3:54 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: They're probably buying a shitload of AWS instances
3:54 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: so the website's down for "maintenance"
3:54 PM - Zerokk: So, uh, which sprite are you up for?
3:54 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: d) none of the above
3:54 PM - Zerokk: Alright.
3:55 PM - Zerokk: I'l go for Maskeraith because he's going to be the least taken
3:55 PM - Zerokk: And he looks good.
3:55 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: I wonder how ridiculously OP the Arcade will be now that revives are rare consumables now.
3:56 PM - Zerokk: Oh, it's ready.. I guess
3:56 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: mine got stuck :(
3:56 PM - Zerokk: Chances are I'l have to wait until I can get on
3:56 PM - Zerokk: I can't connect
3:56 PM - Zerokk: So many connecting people
3:56 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: server must still be down or something
3:57 PM - Zerokk: I don't see anything in the controls related to sprites
3:58 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: Maybe they're autonomous
3:58 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: or maybe they didn't actually add sprites
3:58 PM - Zerokk: At least tomorrow.
4:01 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: Removed the ability to revive by sharing health as well as any heat sharing from reviving.
4:01 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: Spiral Knights confirmed for P2W
4:01 PM - Zerokk: I liked the health share.
4:02 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: It's to make sure that you NEED Sparks to do things
4:02 PM - Zerokk: Or you can just use a shield
4:02 PM - Zerokk: and dodge
4:02 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: >implying that the majority of players can do that
4:02 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: they'll just mow the lawn and buy energy instead of lrning2play
4:03 PM - <CuSt> Balrog: JUST AS PLANNED(tm)

Again, haven't played, but I suspect that the Clockworks just got a good deal more OP.

From what I've seen, a lot of the community is flipping out over te lack of mist energy

...idiots.

Welcome to the Internet, you must be new here. People always flip out over changes.

Also, I just noticed that level-ups can fail, and sprites need to eat. Fuck you, Three Rings, I'm not spending a dime.

[Ceridran]

The update is out, we can play once the maintenance is dealt with.

[Thunderono]

I made the foolish mistake of choosing Drakon as my sprite.

DO NOT. PICK. DRAKON.

At full power his fireball does 41 damage, and his fire wave does 35.  Maskeraith can poison enemies and Seraphynx can net you more health.  While drakon does have a shield, it's unlocked rather late.

[Ceridran]

ghosts and kittens master race

That can't be his full power, can it? Say, a WRH doesn't deal as much damage in T1 floors as it does in T2 floors, but T2 floors are not as much as T3. I'm sure the same applies to sprites.

How could you have maxed his fireball already?

[Thunderono]

Simply looking up a video of his maxed out stats produces better results than going through the painfully long process of leveling them.
Spike and I reset our characters and I'll probably wind up nabbing Maskerain.  The poison attribute of his needles is too useful.

[Ceridran]

Fun Fact: Normal Mode is really Easy Mode. The true normal mode is Advanced.

I hate when they do that.

Pfffft
No.
The fire deals 41 damage. The fireball deals up to 155 with type advantage on T2. Glad I kept my Drakon  

[Ceridran]

I went Spelunderking (yes that's a word now) with Llama-gjhfgjsruf,, Thunder_Blecermhsgk, and Spikeguy. Later on, Llama wasn't getting his prizes, and realized he didn't do some missions, thus he didn't get his fancy chancy handy dandy prizes.

He should be soloing those right now, but most of them are talk missions, if not one of them.

Really? Dangit, that explains why the game felt so easy earlier. I'll have to crank that up.

[LlamaHombre]

So nearly seven months later, I sat down and tried this thing.

You can find me walking around as Llama-Hombre with my Drakon by my side.

I'm really enjoying what I've played so far, and I'm hoping the rest of the game will be just as enjoyable.

[Ceridran]

Decide early on if you really do want to specialize-ish on things

Sometimes you're going to feel like an idiot for getting a certain weapon, or a helmet/armor. *cough* Wish I didn't get a Twisted Snarble Barb. I'm also sort of regretting my pick in the Wolver line.

Maybe if I was a bomber or gunner instead, that'd be nice, but eh, so many things I already did.

I think I'l build into the other stuff once I get my Vog Cub gear, and a Voltedge so it should be fine? Because by then, I can run around FSC for crowns and things. I need to stop running around with "oh I should really be using this" and then go back to what I had before like, 3 days later.

this has been another minor venting session
I don't know.

By the way Antigua needs a third line that uses Piercing or something

[Jatea]

So after 7 or so months I picked this up again.
I forgot that I had a character (Teegott if anyone cares)
he's still pretty early, I think, but there's some stuff that I got
also Thunder gave me some sort of fire-resistant shield whose name eludes me

I also apparently had a bomb lying around in my inventory (Firecracker)

Bombs are so much FUN.
Just place one down, hit a whole lot of enemies (and set them all on fire)

to quote GBT, Thunder and I:

TGOT: "Toid, let's be bomb buddies!"
GBT: "NO."
-
Thunder: "You know, I'm just drilling inside of Gumballtoid while TGOT holds a bomb over his head."


edit:

Lady Blues: Cutstuff in a nutshell
Lady Blues: 1) play Spiral Knights
Lady Blues: 2) obtain hat
Lady Blues: 3) stay for a couple more days due to having fun
Lady Blues: 4) realize energy is bullshit
Lady Blues: 5) leave and never play again
Lady Blues: 6) give Smash all your stuff a year later

I actually did give Smash all of my SK stuff after I quit through a steam trade
but then apparently I still had my weapons and other fancy things
I don't know
I probably just gave him junk and crowns

[Ceridran]

Emberbreak Shield. I gave one to Thunder, Llama, and Spike so they didn't die. I'm pretty sure they're irrelevant now because they have Defenders.
