Revision as of 00:53, 29 January 2015

This page is a list of all the updates on the main spiral knights page (News Blog!).

List

Editor Note Below is an elaborate sortable list. This show/hide contains information about how to use the list efficiently.

Spiral Uplink

Most of the above images show up in the uplink too. But several uplink images don't show up in the News Blog page.

  • pending more stuff like this:
SpiralKnights Uplink-tails tails.png
SpiralKnights Uplink-metal sonic.png
SpiralKnights Uplink-proto crest.png
SpiralKnights Uplink-lockbox-titanium.png
SpiralKnights Uplink-lockbox-silver.png
SpiralKnights Uplink-lockbox-steel.png
SpiralKnights Uplink-lockbox-platinum.png
SpiralKnights Uplink-lockbox-copper.png
SpiralKnights Uplink-lockbox-gold.png

Misc News

News from other places, like Sega Blog or others.

  • stuff like this:
SpiralKnights News misc-parrying blade.png
SpiralKnights News misc-stranger hats.png

Steam News

  • pending more stuff like this:
SpiralKnights News Steam 2012 TotalWar.png
SpiralKnights News Steam 2013 SnowGlobe.png
SpiralKnights News Steam 2014 SummerAdventure.png (The golden dragon set is not part of this promo, neither is the white Sallet in the parrying blade picture)

Notes

Icon-opinion.png The topic of this article or section is subject to personal opinion, and does not represent any one absolute truth.
If you disagree, discuss your concerns on the the talk page before editing.

In-game:

  • Every time you log into a knight, there will be a popup with information on current events if there are any going on. Otherwise this popup is just general advertising for the game.
  • Usually accounts will receive a Mail that talks about Patch Notes and other recent things. Your knight will have a Mail symbol on the Log In screen (this doesn't always mean news - your friends could have sent you a message, or it might be about something you did on the Auction House).
  • Read the region chat. Player gossip in the Town Square of Haven is a great source of rumors about recent changes, anecdotes, and other players like you who might be wondering about things!
    • Sometimes Game Masters will talk about the game in the region chat. Their chat text is colored lavender-purple. This is not always news, but hints tend to be dropped. Sometimes they will pose in the most recent Prize Box costumes.
    • Server reboots will be announced in game-wide chat. This text is pink, and it will usually say why the server is being rebooted - maintenance, update, etc.

Prepare yourself:

  • Be a part of the new stuff! If the Test Server is open, and you qualify, participate in the testing and give feedback on the provided relevant forum thread. Get an idea of what's coming before it gets here!
  • As a general last resort, don't be afraid to ask support for help - if you hear someone telling you about a weird new thing, but can't find any information on it anywhere after doing a thorough search, that might be something called a "scam" and support will clear up your doubts.
