Alexander

Ironically, you just created the first trading topic.

My musical taste isn’t my proudest aspect. But hey, the clip has terry crews?

Compilation of Trading topics on the old forum 💩
Trading topics in a whole 'nother level  😎
 

 
When will the day of reckoning come?

Vigilante is a nice vehicle IMO.

Thats quite a lot. I'll make sure there's a group with a limit that high in the future, though

We do consider nerfs but prefer buffs, yes

So everyone agrees if I turn it off?

I feel betrayed, bamboozled... but, twitter here we come.

Hope you'll stick around this time, or else we'll end up unrecognizeable!

Hi guys 🙂 
 
Let me give the good example and introduce myself!
My name is Alexander but everyone calls me Alex. I am 28 years old, I am into sailing, ski-ing, reading, writing, anime/LNs, games and cooking. I started playing a game called BattleDawn back in 2006 when I was 14 and was asked to help test SuperMechs by a BD Admin back before it was public and just kind of stuck around. I lead a team called NCR (New Corgi Revolution) in Battle Dawn with Josh (Malicewolf) and am a member of the Shiba Revolution in Super Mechs. 
I studied Software Engineering, but frankly I find most things interesting.
Some years ago I was hired by Ilona to be Community Manager (we talked a lot and she suggested I apply if I really want to improve BD/SM so much, so I did), she however didn't stick with the company after that so I had to kind of learn the job on the spot on my own. And take parts of her job (Product Manager) while at it. This went pretty well and I formed a pretty natural gear in the SM and BD teams, but when the SM Team grew it became harder and harder for me to feel like I was making a meaningful impact. I went to Michael (Tacticsoft CEO), told him to either give me something else to do or I'll have to walk away eventually. He asked me what I want to do then and I offered to take over Battle Dawn instead, which was orphaned without a manager and close to a shutdown.
I took it over, it went pretty well, Battle Dawn didn't get shut down, grew a lot. We recruited Josh and Elcent who are awesome human beings and eventually Michael passed me onto a guy who was buying the rights to make a Battle Dawn sequel. We got along and after spending a lot of time discussing with each other, we decided to buy Battle Dawn itself as well. I re-recruited Ilona to the team (sadly she left a while ago again :P) and re-recruited Simmen, Gato Games was born. 

We improved Battle Dawn's servers a lot, I got the title of CEO, we recruited Gaurav, Fluffeh and Kenny and eventually got a chance to buy Super Mechs... Which at the time we couldn't. Got another one and this time we could and did. 
So yeah, here we are and here I am. Please be nice to me. 😛 

I am watching Shinsekai Yori (From The New World) right now with @Fluffeh. It's a post-apocalyptic show about a group of children growing up in a utopian/dystopian world, it's a mystery and I find it quite exciting. It's one of my top 3 for sure, second time i've seen it. 
 

 
 
I recommend it to anyone who likes mystery and doesn't mind a rather gruesome story.

There is something somewhat equivalent - reputation. There is a daily, weekly and monthly leaderboard. Finishing top 3 on any of those will show on your profile and past records are shown.
Different but another way to strut yourself. There's a similar system for "Solutions" you give on peoples questions/issues. 
 
There is also a badge system available for this software. We may add it later, but we feel it's best to get people used to the forum first. 🙂

Good thicc or bad thicc? 😛
 
Yeah honestly, when we switched from phpBB to Discourse we had lots of people who didn't like it as well... Change is difficult. You use something for years, get intimate with how it works, anything new is bound to feel inferior because everything works differently than you expect it to.
 
We spent a *long* time messing with this software, on a worse design (IMO) than the current one and ultimately most of the people who kept using it (haven't had anyone come out and say they didn't) seemed to end up preferring this and being excited for it. 
 
It has very different features, but it's quite powerful and swanky

Hi,
We're planning to set up a content creation program on this community including a private forum for content creators, forms for requesting giveaway keys or other support (of course based on the size of your channel, quality of your channel, your trust and not all too frequent) and so on. 
Any suggestions for this are welcome here, things you run into and would like help on and so on. 
 

I am just a newbie so please forgive me if this is out of line.
By the damage stats you gave, that technically makes it an average damage of 360, just like the old version.
I think from what I've experienced and seen in the arena, and heard from the long-time players, is that the problem is more that the random rolls don't seem random.
This may be due to the human brain's tendency to see a pattern where there is none.
How are random numbers done in this game?  In the code, is it pulling from the CPU's random number generator?  Would it be possible instead to take a page from pokemon (tm) and instead substitute a very large list of numbers that are known to be truly random, such as (for example) those listed in the back of statistical and scientific research related textbooks?
I think heat cost is fine, but I can see a benefit to increasing energy cost, so that energy mechs aren't really close to an energy break only for their enemy to be able to fire frantic brute one last time for tons of damage.
I would say that maybe the solution is to make the weapon slightly heavier.  It weighs less than a malice beam, and the malice beam does 321 average damage specifically to energy drained mechs, 194 average damage to mechs that aren't drained of energy.
Like, today I had that conundrum with my energy mech: do I equip frantic lighting (50kg) or UltraBright (56kg) or Hot Flash (66 kg)?  Frantic Lightning is tempting because it's lighter, and would deliver a crushing blow to a mech that's drained.
I guess 2 shots rather than unlimited compensates for power to weight, but seriously if I see a dual frantic brute player in an arena match, I try to match up with my energy mech and pray to God I don't die.  Usually, if even one of those is mythic, I'm dead. (my energy mech is 1500 hp roughly).
Anyways, that's my 2 cents.  EDIT: I would think its average damage needs to be less than Spartan, but that's my opinion.  Maybe make it the F2P Spartan, but keep the damage spread wide.  That way it's for people who like to gamble.
Is there an alternate supermechs server that's strictly for testing where we could test this out?  Stats are nice on paper, but as we all know, sometimes what's on paper doesn't match up to reality.  I would suggest that such a thing would be necessary: an undocumented, undisclosed test server given out only to the very few who are helping to test.  All accounts would have one divine of everything so that players can equip stuff to fight in arena and test things out with.

Welcome to the community!

Welcome Bruce!

I came over from the old forums, some of you might remember me as Bruce0206.  This forum will take some time to get used to for sure.  Anyways, how's your day?

I feel like your profile picture is a dispute with Hiyakki :')
 
Welcome!

Hi, Ultravortex or StormWeaver as u guys know me, am here.
 
Feels really cozy here!
 
Good job Gato and Alex

Hi, welcome back. Don't think we've met!
 
The last forum's UI is different, this'll take getting used. For now, I suggest switching to Fluid view. Its a lot like Discourse is by default.
 
Current discourse you're used to was customized by me to look that way 😛
