Spiral Knights

Archive: 240 posts

Yesterday, SEGA and Three Rings' previously invite-only MMO, Spiral Knights (http://www.spiralknights.com/), was opened to the public. It's got great music, a nice art style, and the gameplay is very Zelda-esque.

Anyone else here play it? I just started yesterday, it's a pretty neat little game.
There also just happens to be a My Little Pony themed guild called Knights of Equestria...
Oh yeah, and it's freeeeee to play!

Well there's this stuff called Energy. There are two types of it: Mist and Crystalized energy. You start out with a 100 Mist energy. When you go into dungeons, you have to pay 10 energy (either type btw) for each elevator (which takes you to the next level). You also have the option to buy armor/weapons/etc. with energy, but you can buy them with game currency as well.
Your Mist energy refills itself after a while, though - Every 15 minutes, you get 1 energy, and if you totally run out, it fills up completely in 24 hours.
However, you can only hold 100 Mist energy at a time, so that's kinda sucky. You can buy Crystalized energy with real money or game currency, and there's no limit to how much Crystalized energy you can have at once.

So basically...You can get things done quicker if you spend money, but you're totally capable without having to pay.		2011-04-07 03:58:00

Just wonderin' do you guys play solo or party?		2011-04-07 04:01:00

So more or less like most MMOs you can pay to get bonus stuff like special armor ETC.
well long as the game is mostly free then I'm fine. *mew		2011-04-07 04:03:00

God! 50 Energy points for a freaking recipe?! Well at least I get a cool hat.

That's an annoyin feature of the game though, waiting 24 hours to get more energy, can't even explore the levels without it.		2011-04-09 00:20:00

"Dungeons" are the only place to do stuff. The only other place is the Bazaar which is just a giant shop. :L		2011-04-09 01:31:00

Well, every 15 minutes you get one energy. And you can buy energy with crowns, too. Just click the blue energy symbol where it says how much energy you have, and you can trade crowns for 100 energy. The price keeps going up, though...A few days ago it was about 1500 crowns, and now it's almost 3000. :/

And @Silverleon, yeah, Dungeons are the only place to, you know, DO stuff. They aren't always dark and creepy though, there are some levels that are sky islands and other outdoor places.
When I first started playing the game, though, I thought there would be more adventuring or other things to do. But hey, it's still fun.		2011-04-09 01:37:00

Not really. That depends on how you spend your energy, and you can always buy more with in-game currency.		2011-04-09 02:55:00

Ya but I suck and I only get 3000 crowns per 100 energy. So in result, I have no profit to buy good gear, and I'd rather have gear for the next day.

So, in short(er): I suck=I get less adventure time.		2011-04-09 03:04:00

I was pretty skeptical about the dungeons thing at first as well, but there's lots of exploration and stuff so it's still fun. Just try it, I'm sure you'll like it. 		2011-04-09 03:49:00

So when you say it's Zelda esque, do you mean as in combat (in which case I wouldn't really care) or do you mean there are Zelda style puzzles? Can't really check right now since PC is busted so ya >_>2011-04-09 22:27:00

I got Calibur! Had to pay 1k for the recipe, 1k for the sword stone, and .5k for the recipe. Saving a grand total of .5k
Anyways, was trying to save some energy for when Zim came back on but accidentally spent almost the rest I had on Calibur. Oops! Now I have to get 3k to get my energy back up to 100. 		2011-04-10 01:17:00

This game is so confusing. Where are the recipes? I see nothing when I open up the alchemist vending machines. Like it's empty. What do I do with all the crafting stuff? And what is a token for? I got one.		2011-04-10 04:19:00

Is there some kind of guild/community etc. system? If there is, maybe we could make one for us from LBPC? If not, maybe add a list of character names to the first post, so players can add others from LBPC?		2011-04-10 10:54:00

You buy recipes from the potion-masked guy in the Bazaar. You can use tokens to 'buy' special weapons, armors, helms, etc.

Ehh, not super open. Howver the levels in a dungeon are randomly picked.
Everything in the game can be accessed with the in-game currency, crowns. It's just easier if you buy energy with actual money.		2011-04-12 14:56:00

If you're more for dungion adventuring, then this game is for you. If you like MMOs where there are missions for you to walk all the way somewhere and do something... yeeeaaahhhhh...... you might not like this game.

OH!!! Have you ever played or seen that BETA level where you fought that giant lizard and there was lava everywhere? It was a top down adventure game in LBP 2. Similar to that, in a way.		2011-04-12 16:35:00

No reason really.

I was resting in the top right under the (awning-tent-thing?). I was out of energy by 2, so I rested for a bit. I always go there to rest.

I just ran out of energy and need like 100 more crowns to get more. lol. Speaking of which, those prices are rising very slowly, but rising.
Slowly? Ha! On the first day of SK's public release, 100 energy cost 1500 crowns...Now, just 5 days later, it's doubled! There are a lot of concerns with the price of energy lately...100 energy costs more than 3000 crowns now.		2011-04-12 22:44:00

Ya, I ran out of energy quick and have no idea what to do after, I guess wait. The waiting for energy to do stuff is like a Facebook game...I think that is what I don't like about the game. But it is free, can't complain. And does the game think I am a girl? I got a new helmet and I have pigtails now...very confused. So I just made it look like I have my original helmet on.2011-04-12 23:01:00

Well I never...

http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h419/00Cryogen/Pony%20Screenshots/WATERMARK.png

Actually, I don't accept free things in MMOs. Never have never will. You can ask Cyber. Though... That's probably not the best example.


It only costs 3 quarters to get 200 energy.

I don't pay real money inside of a game that's already free. Especially when there's an infinite loop you can do to keep playing non-stop. But that is pretty tempting of a price. It's like playing an arcade game at Incredible Pizza... Whatever it's called now.

But I was referring to the in-game currency. It's rising, to my surprise, based on Zim's other post, pretty rapidly.

Also, when I get my hands on a new game, I play the s**** out of it.

Depends on your fighting style.
I suggest getting atleast a new Sword and/or Helm.

And on another note, why doesnt anybody use bombs? Theyre extremely useful if you have high HP and your fighting large groups.

I don't use bombs because you need to get rid of your gun or buy a new slot. The slot is cheap (really cheap), but for some reason I don't want to.

I'm sure eventually I'm going to buy it, and carry around a spare sword, gun, or bombs.

But for right now, all my money goes towards energy and alchemy.

I skipped the 1 star equipment. You can last a while with the starting stuff, but the gun becomes really annoying.

To tell the truth, I think I should have kept going through the newb gate in the beginning and level up the weapons completely. And it was a cheaper energy cost at that gate.		2011-04-13 17:57:00

Depends on what you're looking for. The thing I dislike about this game is you have to follow a certain path and you can only follow that path. For example, I had the Cobalt Armor. It's 2* I believe, or 1* it doesn't matter. But anyways, I decided the Cobalt Armor wasn't as fancy, and wanted the Dusker Set. Which is 3* in order to get the Dusker Set however, you need the 2* equivalent of the Dusker Set which is the Wolver Set or whatever. So you essentially have to downgrade your current armor in order to upgrade it if you want to change your armor.

So you should heavily consider what you want as your armor and weapons. Do you like how they look, are the stats nice? I personally judge my armor by the 5th star upgrade, if it looks nice and has nice stats I will choose that armor. You can find all the armor in the wiki which Zim linked a few posts back.

Also, another thing I hate about the game is how your weapon binds to you when you equip it. It's pointless and stupid. Why? Let's say I buy a Cutter, bind it to myself. Now I have a friend with the Striker recipe, which is the Cutter's next upgrade. The recipe requires a Cutter so it can be transmuted. I can't GIVE my Cutter to my friend so I have to buy another freaking Cutter, now I have 2 Cutters. Now I give that Cutter to my friend and Now I have a Striker and a useless Cutter. It's probably the dumbest thing in the game, hope they realize that and change it. Because really? There isn't a point to it unless that idea was intended so you can waste more crowns.		2011-04-13 20:13:00

I think it was to waste more crowns and so people don't do what you're talking about. IMO, I think they want you to earn the next upgrade. So you yourself need to get the recipe, rather than asking someone to do it for you. (That's not directed at anybody)

The path thing... I can see why they did that. Your character actually never levels up. Only his equipment. So, it's like leveling up classes, but they're guns. At least you can change "classes" in this game. It's usually once you choose it, you're stuck with it.

If they were able to trade/sale bound items, the game would become super super easy. You'd have people selling lvl 10 equipment everywhere, and all you would have to do was buy one, which would take out some of the joy of the game. Also, you'd have people just asking the more experienced players to forge for them, which would kind of take some more of the fun out.

But that does go to something that IS annoying. I can't get rid of my older weapons. To my knowledge.

The game-play in this game is very simple in its mechanics. Similar to Balder's Gate. You run around and slash/gun/bomb. Level up. Repeat. You don't really have a choice to do anything else. But what I love about this game is the game-play. No waiting for your turn (Though I do like these as well), no clicking an enemy once and wait for your guy to kill him, and no pointless errand running. One of the things I really hate about some MMOs is the going from point A to point B just to deliver a message or something.		2011-04-13 21:19:00

I'm pretty sure they intended on you being able to have someone to do it for you or else it wouldn't be an option in the game.

You have it wrong though, it's not a class. It's Armor. It's your shield. I've never played a game that has you "stuck" with any clothes and you never have to downgrade to upgrade. It's stupid.

For example. I have the best armor the game currently has, cost me A LOT to craft it (5* armor costs 50k for the recipe and crafting it.) Assuming you did not have every material required to create this set, AND counting the lower star equips. You've spent a good 300k (It would obviously be a bit more I think but I didn't add up the crowns for the 4*, 3*, 2* set.) I also need 300 energy for each of these. Let's assume I didn't want to spend another God knows how much crowns for the CE. So I spent REAL money on getting the energy for this set. So let's just say you needed 3k CE, which comes out to be 10 bucks.

Now yay. You've spent hard work on all this but WAIT here comes a patch with brand new so much sexier, so much fancier, so much stronger armor.

...
...

So you technically just wasted all that time to get the best armor in the game. Now if you want to get the new stuff, you basically have to spend another 300k, and 3k CE.

Obviously you could just keep that set, but I know a lot of people play this game to get the best stuff, almost everyone wants to be strong. So what the hell?


If they were able to trade/sale bound items, the game would become super super easy. You'd have people selling lvl 10 equipment everywhere, and all you would have to do was buy one, which would take out some of the joy of the game. Also, you'd have people just asking the more experienced players to forge for them, which would kind of take some more of the fun out.

Who says you'd be selling lvl 10 equipment? Just have it so when you sell your item it reverts back to level 1. Easy peasy.		2011-04-14 00:34:00

I was saying it's "like" a class. Since the character never levels up, the armor is the class. In other MMOs the character levels up, and depending on their level and class, they can equip certain equipment. I guess paying that other 300K would be the price you have to pay to change "classes".



For example. I have the best armor the game currently has, cost me A LOT to craft it (5* armor costs 50k for the recipe and crafting it.) Assuming you did not have every material required to create this set, AND counting the lower star equips.

That's actually a very common thing in MMOs. Mainly because no one knows what's coming out next.

Oh, I guessed you'd sell it at it's current level. I think it could be bad for the economy, I don't know why though... I guess, there would be a bunch of those weapons floating around because it may be cheaper to actually make it yourself? And the more there are, the more the price would drop.		2011-04-14 01:23:00

So there would be swords everywhere. Because not everyone would buy it from someone, and they'd make their own. And if there are more out there, they won't be as pricey, and if the price goes down, then they are easier to get, and if they are easier to get, then they'll zoom past levels like nothing, making them pointless, and finally, since the levels are going by much faster, the game is shorter then get boring because people start wanting more content. Also, IF they did just keep handing them down and didn't make more, then the materials needed for that thing would become utterly useless.		2011-04-14 01:48:00

Checked the forums for some news on the update. Here you guys go.


We will be updating the game tonight with some new optimization and other behind the scenes features in order to improve your experience. While our updates are typically instant, tonight will require a little extra gremlin tinkering to ensure everything is in working order.

As such the game will be unavailable after it goes down (expected to be around 6:45pm PDT) for about 45 minutes. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we tinker in the Clockworks.

As always, thank you so much for playing and we hope to see you again later this evening.		2011-04-14 03:09:00

Yeah, although starting out on a new MMO is always challenging, I think that this one really isn't that much different, you still do the same things you would in a regular MMO, collect, buy, kill. I still don't understand it fully either, but i'm sure we'll all come around eventually.

Also, do we have our own guild yet?		2011-04-16 02:47:00

Not for LBPC. But Zim's in a guild already, and it just wouldn't seem right if she wasn't in it too... Unless of course, she doesn't mind... But it takes 500 energy to make a guild, so if we were to make one, we would need to all get together and pitch in some crowns and energy. The more people that pitch in at first, the least anyone needs to give up.

Then there's who'd be the guild master.		2011-04-16 04:03:00

The game is actually very confusing in comparison with other similar games. They teach you the basics of the game but teach you nothing about materials, what tokens are for, how to get them, what recipes are for, how to get them, how to learn them, what the Alchemy vendors are for, how to use them. It is horrible in that aspect. All it does is teach you how to play.2011-04-17 01:13:00

OHHHhhh... I see now. Most of the MMOs I've played never really told you what to do. I kind of just learned it on my own. So I think I'm used to it. lol

I think it's because the game is new. Most of the small MMOs tend to not have a tutorial for some reason. But they do need to fix that though.		2011-04-17 20:20:00
