Why not...But still! It's much easier and more efficient to slightly nerf phys on literally just 1 item rather than buff energy and heat on many more items. Also,about energy...There's a problem,because items like EMPs are still around.And remember,they are the no.1 unfair shet weapons against phys and heat.{hys and heat can't drain thus are susceptible to insta-draining from EMPs unfairly.If you further nerf EMP too,then yes.Or idk,at least change its functionality because right now,it's only fair to 1 out of 3 types. Honestly,I have no opinion on this.Never felt like this is an issue,but rather just an extra and it's pretty okay-ish,considering everything else. Yes,that. And also Buff the freaking Clan Wars because it's BORING and USELESS. And also,BUFF the bloody Season Rewards.They are worthless pieces of epic garbage ''rewarded'' after a week full of imbalances and Frantic-shitfests.Literally,there's just no god damn reason to even bother anymore,when a R12 gets better rewards in a week than a R1 does in 3 months. Until then,no reason to play until R1.Just 3 wins a day,give or take and that's it,because the reward is still zero. I'd rathyer rephrafe that to ''Buff underwhelming/OG items to a viable state''. Like Void and stuff.Literally,they're not viable anymore.They are useless,forgotten and myth food.Don't even get me started on Swoop or Greedy.

Highly agree with the single use. Either make it a proper luck-based roulette gun that goes all-in or disregard it.One shot for 800-900 if you risk it and that's it;high risk,high reward (although the damage would still be in favour of crits but heck,it'd be so balanced with 1 use).The damage balancing still renders it more powerful than most (L-M) weapons. Let's keep in mind the fact that a L-M weapon does at most 550 damage for one shot (Magma/Bunker) and this thing deals way-too-contant 500+ for 2 shots at epic.Since when have L-Ms become worthless? Not even a physical Bunker Shell would have been this broken.

Aww,come on,brother... I flex getting my 3rd year graduation on discourse right when it dies!!

Ah,so that was it. Understandable.So we have to manually censor ourselves here;fair enough.

@Elcent or @Alexander Sorry to bother you guys again. You know of my bad habit when I get carried away and end up writing 4x as much as I originally intended...It seems it doesn't really work on this forum? I had a longer post and it said it required permission from an admin.I was wondering what the word/character limit was for a post to be taken in by the system like it is,or rather,before which limit does it not require moderator action. Thank you! Edit: As in,wait,I can't keep making the occasional walls like I used to do on discourse? OH MAN!THIS HURTS!What will Lake be without his walls every couple weeks??

I got nothing this Christmas,unless I count a lollipop.Am I disappointed,though?Could I have asked for more? Most importantly,I was (and am) in good health,so I could do things.The weather during 25th was way warmer than usual;the entire day went at a constant 9*C so I could just shove that helmet on my head and ride my full-sus right and left.All that while being dressed lighter than in the last few weeks so everything felt all the more fresh. I stuffed myself on food,candies,cigarettes and whatever else I felt like taking a sip of (or a bigger bite),so there's that.Then I could watch things on my screens unbothered,with the volume set to maximum since nobody cares;it's Christmas and everyone is loud. Then I spontaneously started feeling felt out and was disappointed,if not sick for a few minute,only to be surprized by a few friends with a message kind of like ''9 pm,my place,no comments or excuses'' and I felt my heart bigger and brighter and warmer and sweeter and everything...even though I knew I'd have more fun at home doing my stuff. Went there,fell asleep prematurely and woke up at 5 am (my body got used to waking up after about 5-6 hours;I know,it's a pretty sad thing),so I pretty much missed everything.Am I mad?Hell no,that's the one night I got a good sleep and at a more normal hour than my usual 8 am.Then we watched the sunset and my friends started playing their guitars out in the (not-so-)cold. How did I respond to that?Well,first of all,I was in my uniform so of course I enjoyed myself.Second of all,I was utterly and completely uninterested by what 2 of them were talking and what the other one was playing,so I took it upon myself to listen to some music and just sit there;enjoy the moment,again,unbothered.I felt at peace. I was on my way back and was full of expectations like ''Holy F,I'm buying that trial,then I'm getting my hands on a flecktarn uniform and heck blah blah''.I got home and all I got was my mother greeting me with ''Oh wow,slept well?Here,have one of those'' and gave me a lollipop and a razorblade (no jokes),only to later ask for that razorblade back because she lost hers ( lmao).Was I disappointed? She handed me that cheap little piece of shit and in that instant I thought ''You know what;fuck the bikes and things,I've got all this stuff all over the place'' and made myself a coffee,chewed half the lollipop,smoked a cigarette and drank that coffee,chewed the rest of the lollipop and resumed my normal listening to music,satisfied as ever.I mean I still kind of want that trial bike and I'm struggling to put together that Flecktarn uniform now,but could honestly not ask for moreand not ever dare think to do so.Everything was enough;maybe more than enough for me. So there you go,as you can see,I received pretty much nothing and all I did was pretty much nothing.In fact,this Christmas has been so ordinary,trivial and underwhelming that not only didn't allow me to take it seriously,but it actually made me feel at peace for one day.Everything was just...calm,static,peaceful,ordinary (and uninteresting;boring yet not unpleasant) insignificant.It just felt natural so I deemed it good.I wanted something big,something huge,I craved that immense blast and in overwhelming numbers to fuck up my brains...and I got the complete opposite.I didn't even get a sound,let alone a blast - all I got was silence. Although yeah. I fucking hate Christmas. This one wasn't so bad.Again,every day is and could be a holiday depending on the perspective,so nothing's all that shiny and extravagant anymore,when you think about it.To celebrate something or feel good,you don't have to do something wow like blow up fireworks,spend half a salary on props and trips and shit and just get wasted and do super loud things and visit whatever dressed in whatnot... With that said...I celebrated the day,not the holiday.I celebrated the day itself because it has been special to me,since I rarely feel in such general and natural harmony.In fact,looking back 2 days ago,I absolutely loved that feeling;as if nothing was happening at all and I was just there between things that would do nothing and we'd all just sit there together,somehow,for some reason,in our own way,be it me and my friends or the enviroment that also seemed pretty bored yet calm.Everything was so deadly boring and silent that felt so alive and made me feel so alive.I don't know,I can't explain it,maybe it doesn't even make sense properly but... Yeah,the only Christmas gift I got...was the day itself. ...and I wouldn't trade that day for anything in the world,be it ten bikes and uniforms and money and whatever worthless shit I originally wished for before I realized how eerie it all was. IN FACT,WITH TEARS IN MY EYES AS I'M WRITING,I DID WISH FOR SOMETHING!! I wished for that day to keep going on,for that feeling to never stop.Why am I crying right now;because I never thought I would be capable of such a thing and I have just realized how invaluable some apparently worthless things are that we take so for granted and never mind them compared to such pricy things that are worthless and,in fact,don't even matter.Like,who cares about a bike and a uniform?It's literally some useless garbage to fill up even more space. Days?We all have days,why would we care.I'd rather take the money.Like,we do things every day. - or something like that.Yeah,but has anyone considered just how priceless that ''nothing'' we do every day is? Mhm...I think I just learned that sometimes,you have to change your point of focus to truly realize what to regard and esteem.A day in which you do nothing could feel better and more earned than a day in which you have the (seemingly) most success and activity/achievements of your life.

I got an Advanced Repulser and a legendary Kraken. No jokes.

So instead of replying,we just quote...Alright,although the option of highlighting/showcasing target replies seemed more efficient time-wise and easier to the eye. Extra work

Of course;they're not wrong.They right in a different directions.As you don't compare a car and a bike,even if they may essentially do the ''same thing''. You know,I never really minded that fact.Like...what matters if the ''big ones'' use a thing.That doesn't make it the best just because ''the best'' use it.Just how professional snipers use modernized M14s when they're not nearly the best option overall out there. It's a matter of prefference here,not of brand.And yes,some may like one and others may like the others and that's okay!Because that's the whole concept of diversity and personality!But still,at least from me,it feels like it's missing. It's pretty cute,pleasant to the eye,fun-ish but functionally pretty...not really incomplete as it's a complete product for certain things it involves,but rather underwhelming...The old forum had a pretty boring outline and was plain,but heck,it had so many functions and one could do anything on it.Such a nice interface options-wise,in spite of its aesthetic appearance.

This solved one little issue.And that's not the forum's fault,but rather mine because I didn't know the technique Thanks Alex;you learn with every day of life.

I understand,brother;of course! It's just that the way you exposed those ideas...Yeah,it was pretty messy and made it impossible to understand properly,leading to an unsure vote or even denial.

Fair enough,but I'm usually typing/reading/doing something in those moments and will check the notifications afterwards. Okay,didn't think about that...By the way;a lot.Just now I had 21 and I've been pretty recessive compared to usual. Hmm,fair enough.That's a point of view I kind of considered. Although it's a bigger plus on a side,it's a minus on another side.And it becomes especially nasty when combined with some other issues;like that pic yesterday.

If TS sold the game,can they sell the discourse forum? Just how expensive could it be?It's okay;I'll smoke less or maybe even quit;win-win.And if it costs more than what I waste every month (unlikely),I will take money from other directions I've invested/wasted.Even if they just change the payment place/person to mine/me,that's fine as long as it remains alive. I am honestly willing to buy it,or at least pay for its maintenance.That means I couldn't care less if I didn't have proprietary rights or be made a mod to it (be given access to it as owner) and instead only be a simply and mere donor for its ''life support'' while TS keeps maintaining/moderating it.Yes,I am very serious.Spent many years there,every single day,and this new forum is just too much (not literally;it lacks too much that can't really be helped and hardly makes sense in many commonly sighted situations).

@Alexander This is exactly what I was talking about...What can someone understand what comes from who and to whom,from how many and where?Literallt,that's a massive shitfest and it makes no sense... Like a reply from X merged with the reply of Y (shows no names) who quoted A that also,in turn,quoted B,while the quitation box shows B's reply as being merged with C's reply just like it happened with X and Y's replies? Or maybe a reply from X merged with a reply from Y that replied to himself or someone else through a quote,quoting Z's reply that has been merged with X's???? --- Ok Alex,I am sorry...I am done with this forum for now.This is too much.And I am so extremely sorry and sad that the proper forum that made sense closes down in a few hours,possibly.

@Alexander Speaking of notifications... Could we highlight ''fresh'' replies with,like...A bold effect? Because when you have multiple notifications,you can't make up which one is read,which one is fresh and if you lost the track of one only if you literally write it down on paper. Once you open that Notf. Bar,all of your replies show as ''read'' in that instant and you have to figure it out the long way,wasting even more time and checking your read replies multiple times. Oh my God,I hate this forum... ----- Thanks for merging my replies again,you absolutely annoying and repulsive mechanism of the forum's server. ----- I am so annoyed I have to quote you instead of simply replying... Yes,we do...But nobody knows how to access that thing in this place and nor do any notifications pop up from it. But yeah,it's here...somewhere...GOD I HATE this forum.

Making an extra Spartan but epic and removing 1 shot from it is already pretty well balanced and neat.Pretty much not budget Spartan,as that's NightFall,but rather ''More accessible but also more limited in the same time'' Spartan;if you lower the damage,then it becomes highly underpowered. Otherwise nothing can justify the damage lowering.

Doesn't work... But shouldn't there be a button to ''If you pinned that useless bar,why not pin this one as well''?

@Alexander You know I like you and so I'm not bugging you for any other reason.There's just a lot of nasty and problematic stuff around that causes not only inconveniences,but also misunderstandings.And this is one of the biggest issues of the forum as for now. You know,in this layout,replies are fluid.There's no order and you can't see what reply is actually for whom,unless you tag or quote (but you can't quote full posts). Example Fictional Story: You want to reply to someone above the person directly above you.Unless you tag and explain to who and what you're referring,since the forum won't tell you anything,everything you want to tell to your dude way above will be shown as if you told the dude directly above. Example fictional Story II: The person above you says something right and the one above him says something stupid.So,you're going to compliment one and explain to the other (or maybe say it directly that ''bro that's stupid,here's why'').So what do you do?You click reply and say ''Hey that's stupid and here's why'' and go on.Little do you know,you just corrected someone who got it right and pretty much confused the heck out of everyone,making yourself look like an idiot. And why is this super annoying? Because you also have no button to see who is replying to whom.I could see you reply to me when,in fact,you're replying to Winzkay. And even if you specify...If I have more replies,one that's alright and one that's not...Then how am I supposed to which reply you're reffering?? This forum lacks a lot of things.You need to add and explain yourself even to who and to which of his replies you're actually replying to before you even start properly typing!! And this could so easily fixed using a preview of that which you're replying to...You know,you see (or are directed) to the intended reply and then you pretty much see both that one and yours and compare them so everything makes sense. And no,not even then you're allowed...BECAUSE ALL REPLIES MERGE...Oh this hurts... I can't take this anymore,I hate this forum!!Everything is just extra work and not even then does it actually make sense nicely!!

@Alexander Here we go again beloved buddy. Merging replies is just...Ouch,it gives me headaches,especially as someone who every once in a while,will give long,complex and thoroughly detailed replies. Example Fictional Story (imagine): I am replying to someone with an idea in that context.The somebody replies in between and I press enter.I would like to reply to the second dude and go through details,but of course,I am replying directly to someone and don't need to tag or shout ''HEY THIS IS FOR YOU''.Then my replies merge and what er're left with is...A mess of a message with two different contexts that make no sense and neither of the two interlocutors understand which part was for them and to where does it end. And if 3 replies are made in a row,nobody understands one thing anymore.

@Alexander Alex!!! Let me describe this idea to fix quite an infuriating eyesore with two pictures: Instead of this ugly setup that makes your OP not-so-visible and seem like a reply... ...can we do something like this that would make an OP actually seem like an OP instead of a reply and help it get taken seriously? We seriously don't have to see ourselves twice,like ''small me and big me''. Everything could be one single and beautiful box of radiant and nice text,instead of a mess of a fractured frame in like 3 directions. Also,is there a button to 25%-50%-75%-100% our posted pics?They're occupying just too much space and you can't understand anything from a pic of higher resolution if you got any text somewnere. ARGH,I hate this forum. --- Also,can we do something about consecutive replies?

@Alexander ALEX TO THE RESCUE!! We have the option to stick the useless header to the top of the screen.Can we also have the option to stick the notifications bar to the screen?You know;the one with ''Supermechs'' (also usable as a home button),your avatar (also a shortcut to your profile) and most importantly...The notifications icon?? Because you get a new notification or you want to jump to one that's older...When you are at the bottom of the thread and then off you go scrolling the whole thing up just to click that notification box. It's so super annoying and I wanna die.It makes me not want to even bother reading my notifications and instead just close the thing and never use this forum again.Half of the time using this forum is wasted on just scrolling back to see your notifications;unironically! Thank you much!!

Look,I tried to give an honest vote,but GOD DAMN! I didn't understand anything!I read and re-read that shit and all I realized was the fact that I had acquired a low-key start of a stroke!!! Holy f**k! ----- Liam,please teach us of your forbidden ways of dodging the 800s of Frantic Brutes in a row.Maybe we didn't learn to put enough resistance to narrow it down to 700,was that it? Do us that favor and then you shall be listened to.

I flex the loss of this small fortune...

Sir,that would effectively and efficiently solve the problem,along with an addition of something juicy to the game. That isn't only balanced;that's genius and plainly beautiful.But I can already see some arguments as to why it shouldn't be a thing...

Let me say something but on short because you're not biased and you got the last lines right.Your calculations are a bit off.You can make an average between two parts;in this case,two halves of a chance. Half means 50-50,so two parts.Frantic has 3 ''halves'',as the chance to hit higher than average is two times the lower hit chance > 66-33 (gorgon said 70-30 so yeah let's approximate).
