Iron Guild Hall Update


Greetings!

Spiral HQ “Hall Edition” is back and looking for some DIY knights to help revitalize their guild halls. Only the most advanced guilds can work together to create a hall that other knights would be envious of. Use the new Iron and Copper furniture to create your very own place to train, strategize, or hang out.

Release notes:

- Guild Hall upkeep prices have been significantly lowered.
- The Activities panel now gives you an option to see a list of all open Guild Halls.
- New guild hall furniture available. Copper and Iron items will rotate weekly. If what you're looking for isn't there, check back again.
- New guild hall theme “Divine” is available.
- New Rain Storm environment
- New ‘empty’ room: Chess Board.
- New Modular counter tops added to birdsong. These attach seamlessly to each other to allow you to create custom counters, barriers, etc.
- Guild Bonds: A ticket which turns into crowns once deposited in a guild’s treasury. Guild Bonds are not tradeable.
- Behind the scenes changes to update our libraries.

Chess Mini Prize Box:

Spiral Knights have always been strategic thinkers. What better way to brush up on those skills than a game of chess? Chess Minis are objects that can move anywhere in guild hall even when you’re not in design mode and will snap to the squares in the chess room. Each box contains a chess piece for your guild hall. The Chess Mini Prize Box is available in the supply depot through August 8th. Your move, Knights!

Guild Hall Prize Box:

Spiral HQ has collected a stash of items to help guilds add those special touches to their hall. Even the elusive Chromalisk may find a home in your guild hall. The Haven Treasury is offering Guild Hall Prize Boxes through Aug 8, 2016.

In these boxes, you may find the following items:
- Chromalisk pet
- New Floor Monitors for all your knightly dance club needs.
- Furniture items from Almire

- Modular Countertops

SK is a pretty fun game, especially to play with your friends (many of my friends absolutely adore this game, long after I stopped playing it). I quite enjoyed going through it alone as well. The graphics are cartoony and nice and the game is definitely worth trying since it's free-to-play: the music is ambient and airy and suitable for the overall techy atmosphere. As for customization, I really like the "main color" feature - where your character stays primarily one color that you choose at the beginning, kind of like a permanent identifier for them - and especially the equip-as-costume feature - where you can keep a piece of equipment as your visible headgear while using the stats of a better item (this way your character doesn't end up looking stupid because of mismatched gear unless you want them to). My biggest disappointment was having to go through endless grinding of the Jelly King in order to get 30 Jelly Tokens to trade for an item I needed. This is when I stopped playing, and I don't plan on picking up the game again, though it was extremely enjoyable while it lasted. Recommended.

Haven't played it in awhile, so I might just DL it, and replay it.
First, I made a character Having Upside down U eyes with some default stuff. Later, I get a ranged weapon, I am also STILL Using a normal default sword (I guess?) I gotten stuff to keep since i don't know what todo with it. Also friended someone who defeated the Dungeon with me, and forever more still plays alone. Think about it. Play the game, get Randomly good items. "Crown"wise, It's like an MMO.

The strongest part of this game is its music. I think it is pretty damn amazing. Plus the environments are well made, same goes for the enemies, weapons, armor and lots of other items. I also love the combat and controls. The only thing that I dont like about this game is how slow you progress after you go up a couple of ranks. And one last thing, it is super fun when you play with one or a couple of your friends.

I have never downloaded or even played this game, yet my steam inventory has a tab full of items I can't get rid of for this game. The items are not tradable OR sellable, so how the hell do I get rid of them? It's really annoying having an inventory tab for a game I have never played in my life.

It's a very fun and long game once you accept how it suddenly became Spiral Fortress 2 with the accessories and unboxing several dozen different collections of colored boxes that contain re-colored variations of said accessories that they have been peppering the game with instead of new dungeons, enemies, weapons, and equipment that can actually be acquired through enough work and not just purely by whipping out the magic credit card.

Things were a lot simpler during the Mist Energy era.

Creative space survival story that is able to blend perfectly with the MMO genre. The game follows a survivor of a race of knights caught in a war as he/she crash lands on an unknown planet and has to craft gear such as weapons, armors, and shields to fend off predators and survive in this new world. The game has an ever-expanding story mode/campaign, a self-sustained economy that allows players to exchange in-game items with each other for in-game currency or for other items from other games,(which is why this game is so closely attached to the TF2 economy) guilds in which friends and strangers can commune and play together, events in which there are special missions and rewards, and even prize boxes that allow you to obtain cosmetics or branded gear for real-life money. Numerous weapons, armor, shields, and most importantly cosmetics and acessories such as costumes for your knight that conceal your not so good looking battle-armor. If you're looking for a game that has more than one way to advance, this is the game for you.

However, developers have been having internal issues and the consequence of that is a severe lack of content and what feels like an incomplete game. Thos game has potential, but it needs support to get there.

I have played this game for 522.3 Hours Over 3 years.
This is A great game, but it is Abandoned by the Dev´s new Content means Reskins of Cosmetics wich cost a Ton of Real money, Yet the game is very much alive but mostly as an Economics Sim. Most players just fiddle with the Auction house to make ingame Money to make even more of it. There is no PVP anymore (It used to be really Fun! Bomberman and King of the Hill)
All that aside the Community is Generally very nice and Helpfull if you need any Advice on ingame topics.
I can recommend this game as a Single player Experiance (Or with friends on Skype/TS) not so much as a Multiplayer Experiance.

Spiral knights is a Coop Adventure Game with cute little warriors.
The game is beautifull but old, and people is leaving it.
Nice music, Gameplay, design.

I've enjoyed spiral knights over the few years I've played it and there are many enjoyable events that come and go over the course of the year like the New Years giveaway and Anniversary of the games official release where you duke it out against cakes gone bad and are given the chance to deck yourself out with the new gear available. Three rings has also been adding various missions to complete the storyline of your adventure through the cradle
