I feel so dirty sayin' this but I've been playin'
Spiral Knights non-stop for the last three days. Maybe because I'm waiting so long for Phantasy Star Online 2 that I'll play anything that looks remotely lie it. Namely this game... One thing that I did not like, was the fact that they removed all of the smaller energy packs that cost around 2-6 bucks, I mean come on. Granted that 12 bucks for 3500 energy points is pretty good, but I wish I had more options.
I've managed to complete, a few of the rank missions that I had put aside for nearly 7 months, because I though they were unfairly difficult, but as time went by, I just got the gist of it. And now I've gotten my first 4-star weapon. That's the only way to get to the final stages, you need 4-star equipment (armor, shield,helmet, sword and firearm).
Vendors don't have them, you have to buy a three-star weapon, level-grind with it, find a recipe that allows you to improve upon that weapon and if you're lucky... Well, it's easy to see why many give up... The amount of work put into it... Yep.
