[Half Plate]

I mean it would be useful sometimes

but also: having to work around with the weight is part of the challenge; so I feel like these things can't be too flexible

 

[Minor experiment]

This actually makes me want to activate base 

but I’ll wait and see if the experiment actually sticks and isn’t reversed 

many gamers out there reporting on the new base?

[Exclusive Limited Time Offer]

I bought the offer. I would have bought it without the premium packs even. those modules are OP ASFFFFFFFFFFFF

 

anyways, gonna get opening some packs

 

expect an auto-merged multipost edit of my results

missed one that was all purples

misssed one again lmao - it had one leggy feet leggies

forgot a few - nothin good. some rolling beasts and sparked legs

all said and done Im happy - I got two  combined storage uinits (premium) which Ive wanted FOR AGES (since I came back and found out its a thing) and I got that physical doofer thats all the rage

 

like I say Id be happy with the one but I have two. so all in all Im happy I bought it. but it is a lot of money and might not be for you. first big spend in like 3 years??? so I felt like splurgin' and Im not unhappy but I do feel the pain of the bad drops - trust me, Ive been there.

 

so thats that. happy vibes to all who read this

 

*mwah*

UPDATE: I have just realised I confused COMBINED STORAGE UNIT for QUAD CORE BOOSTER

 

LOL!!!! (*in pain*)

[Exclusive Limited Time Offer]

That offer is actually extremely good value if you need the things on offer.

many people have play plate and max protect already, but if you don’t they are sort of “essebtials” although maybe less so now that the new hp+res mods are out

on top of that you do get a weapon and a large sum of tokens added on. I remember TS once charged almost a hunner quid for just a pp.

truth is, this weapon isn’t great and if you already have enough pp and max protect them there’s not much point.

BUT 

this IS good value for the charge, and I’m assuming more like it will come with different weapons/modules which is definitely something to look out for 
 

Edit: typed this out on toilet and it’s just a grammatical mess, apologies.

Also dedicating this post to Trainspotting since I watched both films again recently back-to-back. Trainspotting is the film which makes you simultaneously so proud and so ashamed to be Scottish. it scrapes the dirt, the absolute scum off the underbell of Scottish national identity and turns it into street art. if you haven't seen it, you simply must watch it. now. watch it now. drop everything. the soundtracks also happen to be fantastic.

where is my mind was not strictly in the soundtrack, but I just love the harmony between trainspotting aesthetics and Pixies.

 

also Leonard Cohen, because why not.

 

[Is this good mech]

in defense of beasts, they do pack extra hp while also providing 3 movement if youy have spare weight; but I agree its very rare that they "fit" into a mech design now

this could work 

Faceshocker used to be my favourite drone, but unfortunately it is just outclassed by the backfire ones now. having to re-up your drone is a serious issue now that regen is so much easier to stack now. also be wary of self-overheat with that cap and the heat-drain thing.

but otherwise I think this is pretty decent. will probably struggle with phys though.

[Is this good mech]

its pretty nice, but you're overweight. drop one of your heat mods down to a cooler (-10kg) or switch the phys hook for an en hook (-6kg)

I would opt for switching the hooks personally since you'll need the heat cap to run your side weapon efficiently.

its also going to struggle with phys mechs due to no phys res and also no EMP (which means a longer time to drain)

[Energy Weapons Proposal Thread]

On 3/9/2021 at 6:33 PM, Tirreggregars said:

To start it off:

Drone:

111-194 dmg

227 eng drain

177 eng cost

0 heat cost

0 backfire

0 movement

infinite uses

infinite range

weight: tbd, I would say around the same as all other drones

 

So, basically a mini emp on a drone

if its a "mini-EMP" drone shouldnt it have limited uses and a heavy weight?

On 3/9/2021 at 6:33 PM, Tirreggregars said:

Item Idea 2:

Meant to try and attempt to make energy huggers more viable.

Grim Rain

2 Pull

2 Uses

81 eng cost

30 heat cost

187 eng drain

19 regen drain

please no. the shark does not need an indirect buff. if anything, the Energy and Heat Push drones and weapons need reworked and buffed since close range is currently meta for both heat and energy. instead of intensifying this lop-sidedness, I think it would be better than mid-long range Heat and Energy got some new stuff or a buff to their old stuff.

 

[50 premium packs by 4000 tokens]

5 hours ago, Ad1tya said:

50 packs are 17.5k tokens 
This event would be broken

This would be 80 tokens a pack 
A premium box is 75 tokens

C'mon dude, This won't happen

I actually think, in fairness, this is around how much they should cost.

I'll average the proposed cost to 4k for my purposes. if we're implying about a 25% bulk buy discont that takes us to 5k undiscounted cost.:

100 -> 4000

1 -> 40

125 -> 5000

40 packs equalling 5k would mean 125 for a premium pack.

 

I think 125 tokens is a much fairer price. I think at this point you reach that sweetspot where its worth spoending for the average joe who doesnt work at a top level company, make tonnes of disposable income trading, or is willing to fritter large sums of a generous retirement package now that the house is paid down and the kids have flown the nest (your average "whale"'s circumstances)

some of you might be going "dude wtf? thats like a third of the cost right now"

well, firstly, its acyually a little more than a third.

secondly, it only seems ludicrous for them to be that cheap because you have been conditioned to accept as astandard the TS prices, which by most game's standards, are EXTREMELY overpriced.

I will also note here, that those games for ewhich this current deal is overpriced, net much greater revenue. Because, like I said, they achieve the sweet spot in pricing, where it makes the devs the money to keep going while also making it accessible to the average player.

will this revolutionise SM? no. but it will do a long way to eliminate those moments, which are more than frequent in the current game, where you can spend upwards of 40, 50, even 60 dollars and get NO premiums, or even NO legendaries.

in the very least, a per standard bulk buying discount would be nice anyways.

P.S.

if you had made a poll OP, I would have voted in your favour, but meh.

P.P.S.

keep in mind, you musn't become fluent in the currency of tokens in such a way that it dissasociates the actual price from what you're talking about. when you spend 1.1k tokens, thats 20 USD. when you spend 1.1k tokens ingame and get NOTHING (which is quite possible, even likely) you spend 20 DOLLARS on nothing. dont let your brain be tricked into thinking "well, I spend 1.1k tokens and got nothing"; instead think "I spent 20 DOLLARS and got nothing" and then the absurdity of current pricing comes into full focus.

I didn´t remember that I stayed at the Unicorn portal for 5 days ... I remember that I was traveling and that could only play at night in the hotel, because I didn´t want to miss the day to walk. So at least an entire weekend happened.

As for the horn ... I never liked it. Is a phallic horn and too masculine for my liking...

lol I remember I had taken a few days off sm just to hang out with mates and stuff then I logged in for last 2 days and I was like fuuuu*** shoulda seen this sooner lmao

still got the unicorn horn mind. but I fused it by mitake :anguish:

your side weapon is very good and works with the scope.

I do agree that the nightfall is out of place here.

I also don't feel this is the optimal torso for this mech. I'd suggest windogo since it has both good heat and energy stats and now has viable HP

I'm not saure what drone you're using, but I'll assume you only have free options avbailable, likewise for modules, but I'd suggest smthn like this:

basic strategy would be to continually escape them through jump back and push. the explo damage is actually really decent for that thing.

if you wanted to make it en free (relatively) you could switch the cannon for a deso and add more hp

obviously both versions will work better if you ever get plat plates or prem resist mods but I think this will work fine

gato has been working hard, they are looking for more people to hire as they dont have enough rn. Alex has said he's working on a way for people to disable base on their own. Gato is fixing the mistakes that TS left behind. you might not notice much going on but Alex is helping people move from kong to sm. So to be fair gato has done a lot. Banning players (TS left behind), fixing bugs like raid and multi tabbing which they are still working on(TS left behind), Moving players from kong to SM, making a new forum, making a new discord server, making better events like the 250 tokens one, and i even heard they are trying to release meta item offers like the swoop offer. So lets be fair Gato has done a lot and fixed a lot of things TS left behind 

 

i forgot to mention they are also trying to learn and fix the drop rates 

Well, I certainly hope we shall start seeing the fruits of their labour then.

I like Alex (even though we have a love-hate relationship at times (*mwah*)) so I believe he wants to do what's right - I just hope that the team will not become overwhelmed by the task at hand. I hadnt considered the workload of kong and base disabling, you're right, credit is due there.

hopefully once thats all sorted we can get to adressing the serious issues still left behind.

save us senpai, Alex.

you're our only hope O7

wasn't their already an app from back in legacy? they showed the drop rates during legacy. also apple might just be terrible at enforcing their own rules lmao.

I really hope Gato doesn't simply inherit and maintain TS' consumer violations out of apathy or unwillingness to tackle the challenge of cleaning up the mess.
