  1. I highly agree to Elcent and,at this point,everyone who is not SawzAll.

    The moment this forum notifies me of a thread and tells me ''Elcent,X,Y,blah blah... and *SawzAll* replied to this thread*'',I know I'm better off not even bothering to check it out.

    Again,thanks for a good thread LG and it's something that hasn't been suggested in way longer than it should have.Let's hope for a buff in the near future.The way this new team seems,it's not a problem of ''if or not'',but rather a question of ''when and how''.I have my hopes for this although,personally,this doesn't change much overall;game experience remains the same because of other aspects that apparently have no way around.

    I think you should quit the game.

    200 IQ answer,thank you very much.

    "Reach a rank lower than you really should" is irrelevant, however.  The matchmaking on this game is very good.  The rewards for winning each match may not be the best, and it could be improved to prevent smurfing or at least make smurfing a lot harder to do, but they are at least tolerable.  Part of any match making, on any game, is chance, and you could randomly get Satan's account (he's smurfing at level 6 lol) versus some kid who just got lucky who should be rank 9.

    I wasn't saying that.I was saying that,in order to not wanna smash half of your room an hour later,you would just resume to R3 instead of R1.

    As where your mechs have R1 potential,have reached R1 many times already yet it's too troublesome and not worth it to do it anymore,so you just reach whatever rank you reach before getting blood-boiled.

    The common ascension relics ARE annoying, truth there.  I think that's why we need an ascension relic upgrade ability (convert 3 common to one rare, etc.).  In my opinion, because there are almost no common items in the game that are worth divining (if you look at META, nearly everything is L-M), common ascension relics should be totally deleted if there's not going to be a system to use them to upgrade each other to a higher level of relic.  They just sit in my inventory.

    This?

    Agreed.Although this isn't such an urgent or by any means,game-experience-breaking issue.But yeah,it's be nice.

    Part of the problem with there being less replies on this forum than the other forum is, in my opinion, because some people who are toxic didn't want to move and didn't want to come to a system where they may have to (GASP) be polite.

    I am very thankful you stated that it was *just* your opinion.

    Also,most of those ''toxic'' people that didn't move were actually the most useful,nicest and best players and members.If I were you,I'd edit that section before someone else sees it.

    You presume, however, L4K3, that everyone is like you.  Instead of taking a poll, "Do you like the new forum better than the old one," you assume because you're upset that everyone must feel the way you do.  They don't.  Even if 99% of people feel like you, this is human behavior, and as someone with graduate level human research classes, I can tell you there's virtually ALWAYS someone who doesn't behave like you.  It's just the way human behavior is.  So it will almost never be 100%.  I like the new forum.  There.  Now you can't say "everyone."  You must at least say "99%" if you're going to keep it real.

    No,I didn't say that in case you forgot how to read.Also,try to stay *slightly* on topic.

    Many people do.Andm I think the numbers are already proof enough.The general vibe is nowehere near as good or dense anymore.

    But the thing is, this would be better if you had instead started a thread, "hey the SM app for Windows has ad problems."  You're more likely to get help when you don't start off with kicking the dev team in the teeth with your anger and your angst.

    I did.Guess what?

    No,didn't guess?

    Well then,welcome to this thread,Mr. Know-It-All-Deep-Research-Expert.

    But again, you say "not like anybody cares."  We DO care.  See the discord.

    Then let's prove it.

    If you do care,you care equally as much on discord as well as on the forum.And no,I personally hate discord so I'll be resuming to the forum.

    I'm sorry you've had a bad experience.  I'm not on the dev team, but I'm sure Alexander cares and will fix what he can.  But seriously.

    Well,thank you...There may be some with even worse experiences,but it's just that these many years of nonsense kinda burn you out.

    And as for drop rates, I agree.  I hate to say it this way, but I'm just going to say it: it's carnival level.  I'm NOT saying this to disrespect or insult SM or GG or Alexander, but let's face it, it's carnival level here.  I don't think it's rigged like carnival amusements typically are, but it's definitely not the best.  I can get the 5 premium pack deal ($20) and get absolutely nothing useful from it.  Although all the random legendaries that aren't META and aren't worth saving helped me mythical my Night Eagle....

    Like literally.

    One prem box in my country is 5 RON.A pack is 25 RON,for which you can buy a pack of cigarettes and 2 big cups of 3in1s.

    Or a kilo of meat.Or a pizza and 3 energy drinks.

    And no,you get no pizza,but rather epic and epic food.

  3. Okay,first of all,here's my account's ID: 27655294 and it goes by the name of Viltusial(TM).

    Why is this...?

    ---

    Well,first of all,I can't even play properly.The only thing that works on PC is the downloadable version,which shoves an ad down your gut after destroying every single other enemy.I get 3 ads per OD6 mission and around 6 per BigBoy mission,which makes farming practically IMPOSSIBLE.Okay?I'm SICK of the ads.Not to say it's laggy and (words).

    ---

    Second of all,if the unbearability of the app isn't enough to deter me from ditching any interest in SM almost instantly ight down the drain,let's say I do somehow join and not leave after 30 seconds anymore.Then what of it?

    I haven't received my Season Rewards for the past 3 WEEKS now.

    And the Arena is,although definitely less cancer than before,still very obnoxious and painful to behold.So you just resume at 5 matches to not frustrate yourself due to the game's nonsense,reach a rank way lower than you really should since it's futile bothering for what you are up to and for what?And the next week,you try again.You play 100s of (word) matches,you BOIL your blood from inside your veins and eyes,you reach the rank you deserve after WAY too much struggle,for which no sane person would work so much or consider even slightly worth it,and for what?

    For you to get missing Season Boxes.

    And even if you do somehow fix this.HOW DO YOU MAKE IT UP TO ME?By giving me 5 Common-Epic epic cards?Like you've been giving me for years on end?

    ARE YOU JOKING or literally mocking me?And if you can't even make the effort worth it,don't you dare in your life to tell me to just ''Pack your things up and move on if you don't like it''.

    ---

    Third of all,because I would *PROBABLY* bear with the UNBEARABLE if I even knew if it was worth it.

    And I'm talking about the forum.It isn't JUST the format,but the quantity,the sorting and also quality of the posts.

    back then,on the PROPER forum,you could see the event's discussion of each day respectively along with many other threads and replies.And it was all at the top of the list;such ease and pleasure of browsing;no pages,no useless sections,no 1000% zoom-in and there were more than 2 replies fit on one screen.

    Here,what do we have?

    Barely a few dozens (if) of replies a day and no interest to bring in further discussions.Many sections so you have to look for what you wanna see,while it's probably inexistent (because again,noone bothers anymore) or maybe because it's in another section.Oh,too bad,there are no previews.

    And then what page do you choose?And how much time to you waste scrolling for 3 replies not half as much as you scrolled for 20 on the other forum?

    And if you find something,are you really going to bother replying with these...fonts,functionalities and formats?

    Who knows,too much and...Oh no,you're not going to...

    You're just going to close both things and do something else.

    ---

    Then the next day you wake up,you maybe wanna try again,you see an event,BAM 1000 ADS POP UP,BAM NO REWARDS,BAM IMBALANCE AND PAINFUL GAMEPLAY BAM BAM BAM and then you just quit.

    Congratulations,new SM.

    Half of these issues would be non-existent if Flash was still around,so I can't fully blame you.

    Although I fully blame you for refusing to fix any of it so that browser gameplay wouldn't have been mandatory and instead equally as good as the downloaded ver.

    Just my 2 cents;it's not like anybody cares about anything around here anymore so...do whatever you want with them.But I,for one,am sick.And yeah,you gotta face the truth,general interest,both in the game and especially in the forum,has and will gradually diminish.

    Again,congratulations SM for welcoming the players inside your warm walls.

     

     

     

    Forgot to mention:

    Drop rates.It seems my account is still rigged RNG-wise.No,I'm not paranoid;just take a closer look.

    And I am aware that no matter how many pay codes I send you to prove I'm not a rando,be it of 3 or 20 euros,nothing will change.Drop rates,ads,balance,support,care.Very nice.

    lake.............did you cut your hair????.......................jeez..............

    nice stuff...where do you buy the gear?

    (i mean the equipment, not the weapons)

    No,I didn't :laughing: It's just that I cut my sides with 0.5.Although I got kinda a 2-ish in the video.

     

    I bought the gear separately,in batches.By that I mean different sites,yet most of it comes from Mil-Tec (real millitary gear producer) and a couple other brands.

    That means oqtagon.ro (airsoftcluj.ro),a blouse from kaki.ro,some original (new and worn) pieces from millitarysurplus.ro and the vest and a few pouches from squadstore.ro.

    In rest,I got a few more pouches and mods from selling groups around here (inside Romania),mostly from facebook then you negociate via phone call or sms.

    In one word,I got all of mine from the internet and got it deliver by courier.Although I got an original Romanian Army (MAPN) blouse from an acquaintance,a few authentic patches and also real wood furniture for my PM-90 (coming from a PA-86 but it's the same outer portion).

  5. Made ''small'' upgrades and modifications,both externally and,as you can see (or hear),internally.

    I apologize I couldn't properly catch it on camera;it's like volume equalization thing but even with it,I think you can...notice...

    I turned my PM-90 (romanian AK) into a very loud and savage abomination.The background music was full volume too so that it doesn't sound so horrible to my neighbors,yet to no avail.

    I kid you not,yes;that thing is now so incredibly loud that I have to turn my speakers to max volume and it still doesn't cover any of the sound.And I'll consider wearing some ear protection when I have a feeling I'll use it a lot during some day.

     

    Edit: Yes,of course,that's me 😆

    But I think if we're going to make energy mechs a valid thing, we would have to prevent other mechs from being able to basically totally ignore them.

    Look,it's not bad.

    But instead of doing that and literally cutting down both the factor of variety and of multitude of choices,why not make energy mechs *on par* as in *on the same level* with such mechs?

    No,I don't mean buffing the entire energy type (although that doesn't sound so bad,so long as EMP and UPC don't get a buff but rather a massive fix).I mean buffing certain key items like...you guessed...WINDFORGE!

    Just as heat has say...Sorrow;phys has all these very few couple win-condition energy-free items,energy could have its win-conditions,starting with a Windforge rework and a few other items.And by that,I mean a *very* few items.

  7. Just as the title says...I don't know,but my Windows SM seems to have more than one problem.Logged in on the phone version and completely lost it.

    There are so many issues in the game that makes just playing it a completely horrendous ordeal,not to say unworthy of any struggle.

    So now it's not enough that my drop rates are zero,that I wasted money in this game for epic fodder,that I run on an unplayable game that's unbalanced nonetheless,that has such horrible events and often microtransactions,with useless and boring features such as the Titan,that none of the frustration gathered by playing in an unbalanced arena on a broken client is compensated by any volume of Season Rewards,since they're SO BAD,as in only epic fodder.

     

    NOW I CAN'T EVEN HAVE MY EPIC FODDER??

    I AM SICK.

    SICK TO THE BONE!

    Also @L4K3

    There is a settings about graphics in SM.
    I just remembered

    If you have changed all of them to low then shit idk what's the problem lol
     

    I did in an attempt.

    It seems the problem is the app itself,not the resources it consumes from the PC.It did consume less but it had no effect;same freezing and every-enemy unskippable ads.

  9. At least for me,the portal is beyond horrible,but hey,it seems my account had shitty drop rates from day 1 of its existence and nobody even bothered to check because *SM devs*.

    And holy heck,the Windows version is terrible and unbearable to play on.

     

     

  10. Welcome!
    As you may already know,SM is now unplayable in browsers as of late,so we're left with the Mac/Windows and the Android/iOS versions.

    ---

    The Windows 10 version has BIG problems and I swear I won't be playing anymore.First of all,this:

    image.thumb.png.39b35ed5fb13322538cfe7a62218b01b.png

    Ok,I have * GB of RAM,but this is still a lot.Don't mind the percentages as I also run Chrome on dual monitors.Like always,yet it's the first time it's SO bad.

    So you wanna tell me a downloaded version consumes at least 10x the amount that the browser version (on Chrome,already a very demanding motor) did?Laughably horrible.

    ---

    @Alexander

    Also,not only does the game FREEZE on downloaded windows version and I mean that *very frequently* (it's not the PC's fault this time),but does it have to pop an ad like after *every* bot killed?

    I played the new portal and I got 5 ADS PER RUN!This is outrageous and it's literally unplayable!!!Unskippable ads,too,so you sit for 30 seconds like an idiot at a screen every like 5 or so other seconds.

    And not only do you have to sit like that after like EVERY bot to see an entire ad,you also have to sit and pray to a God not to break your screen since it freezes mid-battle so frequently!

    ---

    Is there a fix available or any other way to play on PC anymore?Cause I swear to both your and my Gods that I'm not launching this app ever again otherwise.I've never seen a more infuriating application,as where even GTA with ads would freeze less and be less laggy on my PC.

     

  11. For anything related to the army and mil-sim,such as Airsoft.

    Pics of yourself and (your) gear are highly encouraged,but fun facts about this nature of things are greatly welcomed!Let's have a good time,soldiers or reenactors all over the world!

    Since we're talking pics,be it random or serious,I'll start to give the push.

    My newest acquisition: the romanian PM-86,a derivate of the infamous AK-47,just as scarred and tattered as the one that our army still uses to this day!

    And here are some ''action shots'' of me that I also posted in another topic.I was home but practicing things like quick open-eye sighting and faster reloads nonetheless.

    These are pretty much the first pics of me fully geared (without the helmet or cap) that look decent so don't ask why they may appear in other places,like my facebook,reddit,other threads blah blah.Hope you enjoy and are inspired to join me 😃 

    (Side note: Remember - don't use real knives in Airsoft)

    Top energy META is still dual valiant sniper, at least for now.

    If Dual Vakl is such META,then why is this build not R1 and top 10 already?

    Come on,come up with an explanation or an argument.Also,saying ''It isn't meta because it doesn't appear in Clevername's list'' is not a viable thing.

    Read this.

    I am glad you can read that and be so informed on the meta,almost as if you knew them inside,out and maybe a few of their cousins,yet you can't read a simple thing such as the stats of a Claw and be so overly informed on it,too.

    Wow,we have a true researcher among us.AND an expert at metas,nonetheless!

  13. On 1/2/2021 at 7:52 PM, Shoultz262 said:

    You can't get 750 drain unless you use both emp and valiant in the same turn, and that's only possible at range 4. In most cases the opponent is smart enough to not stay there anyway.

    Correction.

    You can do that with pretty much an EMP (E-M weapon),a Malice Beam/Hysteria (E-M weapons) and even a Snack (E-M Drone),or better (or worse),a Face Shocker (a E-M drone,too).So no,it's just so insanely easy achievable.

    On 1/3/2021 at 4:34 AM, SawzAll said:

    Two X 2 shots X potential of 240 drain (with arena shop buffs).  Four shots of 240 (i.e. 960) is better than one shot of 412.

    Yeah,but just in case you're still new here and don't understand the mechanics.

    In the case of a two Valiant hits (which is ''BETTER'') than ONE EMP,ONE EMP only takes ONE action point,so thus that 400 (''WORSE'' than 2 Val hits) can turn into 6-700 ''quite'' easily.

    Please,research a little before arguing about this.I both hate and love the most to deal with you,biased people.

    On 1/2/2021 at 7:52 PM, Shoultz262 said:

    The superb charge engine should also be nerfed.

    Highly agreed.

    On 1/2/2021 at 7:52 PM, Shoultz262 said:

    Plus, emp is ineffective against energy free builds, and you have to dedicate a lot of modules to energy stats to be able to use it effectively, especially other energy mechs, where often emp is misused.

    Yeah,mate,WHAT a Re-WOW-LIEF!

    Good thing every single mech is energy-free,almost!!Like literally,there's at least 20 of them at every rank,from 25 upwards.

    Like energy-free are so very very easy to build.You can build them with anything and that's what makes them so common that EMP is literally ouch-chew PFFFT useless.And the game like guarantees you energy-free weapons,like 15 of them a month.And also an en-free torso and like 40 Plat Plates.You get all of that like a few times every day if you farm enough,so yeah,easy,heck yeah buddy,keep talking.

    On 1/3/2021 at 4:34 AM, SawzAll said:

    That's like saying the .22 rifle is ineffecive because US military uses M4/M16.  (I carried an M16 in Iraq).  It's not that .22 rifle isn't effective for civilians who hunt game that's smaller than a deer.  It's that the military doesn't think it's enough power to equip everyone with it.  I'm sure there are some special forces and odd tactics uses for .22 such as survival uses, but just because it's not the main thing don't mean it's not effective.  In fact, it excels at survival use where .223 (M4/M16) does not, in that it is compact.

    Same for the FN P90.  Just because OUR military don't use that rifle doesn't mean it's ineffective elsewhere in the world.

    Look,you've eraned yourself some respect for talking my language,but one thing's for sure.

    EMP,even though it's indeed balanced as it is,is unfair by default.Like it isn't the stats making it a ruin,but rather the idea itself.

    The idea that it may be quite a fun and devastating factor against energy mechs,as where it is literally the no-reason-drain,brainless,insta-energy-death to phys and heats.

    Because of that reason,it's f***ing broken.Although this tiny little HUGE detail is overlooked for completely understandable factors.

    Look,I have an energy-free mech so leave it as it is;I couldn't care less.But I still can't stand the idea that it's god damn unfair.Poor dudes getting drained without the chance to fight back,as in the case of phys and heat against it.

    Literally insta-drain,insta-lose and insta-quit for what?For a fault in designing the actual balance of this thing?Hell naw,mate.

  14. On 1/4/2021 at 12:17 AM, RaymondL1747 said:

    Btw I don't know what to do with my frantic brute anymore since it got nerfed or balanced Idk if I should just continue using it

    Are you bloody serious?

    Mate,that thing still hits 600 upper limit.If anything,it made hits of like 200 even less probable than before.It's still an overly powerful weapon but just because it isn't absolutely broken anymore,people start saying it's crap and don't know what to do with it anymore,so really just scrap it?

    Well yeah,it is crap to begin with.But this??Outrageous.I think some players have problems.Not only brain,but also ego and greed.

    On 1/3/2021 at 2:02 PM, SawzAll said:

    The person I faced in the arena with dual Frantic Brutes is probably not going to like their weapons nerfed.  But if we nerf them as little as possible, that may make less dual Frantic Brute players less likely to rage quit.

    So you're willing to leave a broken weapon just a little less broken just because some abusers would be sad that their overpowered toys got a bit fixed?

    Wow,so emPATHETICal.

     

    Side note:I seriously hope you do study rights and become a judge.Let the mass murderers off the hooks with just a 50$ fine just because they're also human and they'd be sad and cold in jail for like...a life sentence.Way to go,buddy,way to go...

  15. So you're saying that...it shouldn't be nerfed because it's not used anymore...?

    Mate...How do I say this...

    If you have a worm eating you from the inside out do you just leave it there because ''it doesn't hurt anymore''?

    What the hell.Yes,you do use it on competitive builds.Yes,it is that broken as it has always been against phys and energy.Poor guys losing unfairly to an insta-drainage of 750 a turn by just epic items,as there not all prems in the world could cover for that loss.Insta-drain,insta-loss against poor sods.

    Petition to kill both Frantics and EMPs.
