[Red Pill Me on Base - Will I get more free premiums?]

ok so, when base first came out I was highly skeptical, and as such I never activated it.

but I'm curious about the potential to get more free premium and legendary items.

how does it work? do you get to chose a category of item? do you get to specifically craft a premium or is it up to chance?

how do you handle fusing the items once you get them without the ability to buy silver boxes? does base give you fuse kits aswell?

 

for those who have activated base: do you feel like you are getting more or less or the same amount of free goodies as before? is fusion more difficult or still easily managable?

I'll put up a poll, but it would be nice if anyone could answer my questions directly.

currently leaning towards enabling it, for the simple fact it allows me a channel between gold and premiums which simply doesn't exist without base - allbeit a seemingly long and frustrating channel, but a channel nonetheless.

so my inclination is it is not worth it if you spend a lot of money in the game, but is worth it if you spend very infrequently, or not at all.

before I enable I'm gonna wait and see if I hear any glaring problems with it, and try and set myself up so that I can breeze through the adaptation period.

I just got a 2v2 win against invicktus lol.

 

pretty good for an old kunt like me with half fused outdated kit and no magical modules

Huh ????

this is an English language forum dude don’t expect me to read posts made in Spanish or Portuguese or whatever

[Vajayjay-A bit of respect to others just in case]

Did we just get our first flame war of the new forum?

Oh heck ye dude 

gorgon, please call me a snowflake just this once it would mean the world to me

also yeah, on a serious note, don’t take this sheet too seriously frens. Based on what people are saying Tron wasn’t being serious and just likes to kid around like that.

[How much did SM cost]

in 2016 Tacticsoft sank $1m of a Mr Gigi Levy Weiss into the failed Earth Arena project. so maybe.... 1 million? in 2015 supermechs had a playerbase of around 2 million, but most were dead accounts... so it made... some money? remember when Sarah went around trying to drum up sales with her Discounts for Whales™ programme, and they released new myths for extortionate prices every week? Im not saying they were in a state of desparation because they were bleeding money that wasn't there's but uh. yeah.

I’m starting to get the impression that people spend way more money than I am comfortable with on the game.

back in legacy days when I could pick the exact items I wanted to buy I would spend $200-250 a year. After the box system was put in place I’ll spend maybe $20-50 a year if when a deal comes out for an item I want. 
 

seems like people are well over $200 a year to pull in items required for ranks 1-2

At the highest levels you would have to spend well over $1000 a year, or cheat. There is no alternative way of acquiring every new premium in the quantity required. 
 

I’m not even kidding.

[Arena prefixed starting ranges]

If you prefixed it to start close, short range mechs get a massive advantage. Prefix it to start far, long range mechs gain a huge advantage.

the start is random for the very purpose of increasing variability in builds 

[Vajayjay-A bit of respect to others just in case]

Just wait till you come across the “no en gay” guy.

he’s always a hoot.

also pretty lame of vajay to discourage players who haven’t spent like that. You should be proud you came so close.

there are many like this who will gloat at scraping a win by 100 hp even when it’s embarrassing for them to have got anywhere near that close to losing. Hold your head up high and think like David facing Goliath against such peeps. One day you’ll finally win and it will feel sooo good. 
 

another great feeling: when the opponent ggs early to mock you then you beat him unexpectedly. Das rite!

in any case don’t take it to seriously. Use the block chat function next time you match with him.

@Alexander @Fluffeh 

The people have spoken!

Lets make it happen

 

[1 Guaranteed Legendary in Every Premium Pack]

To be clear: the other 4 cards will still be up to chance, the guaranteed legendary refers only to 1 out of 5 cards to ensure you atleast get SOMETHING 

[1 Guaranteed Legendary in Every Premium Pack]

I think the thing which makes us modest spenders feel “cheated” and swear of spending anything for long periods of forever, is those horrible moments, where you spent 20 bucks or so on 5 premium packs. You open up that first pack, probably in anticipation of a new item and...

5 purples.

okay, yuck. Try again.

purples. Great. And another.

*shakes dice, opens pack*

a legendary nemo drone. Okay, getting better. Try again.

purples. 
 

you know what I’m talking about. We all know. Some more than others. In fact I remember the day rising spent over 60 bucks on 6.5k tokens, opened packs and got ONLY PURPLES.

yes, it’s possible.

rare, sure. But should it even be possible that you can spend over 20 quid on a game and get NOTHING of value. If you went to Game picked out a new game and brought it home, opened the box and found a little note which said “sorry, try again next time! But here, have some Pokemon trading cards” You’d be livid. So why do we accept it here?

now, I’m not saying a guaranteed l-m in every pack, but I think 1 of 5 cards should be guaranteed legendary level in the least with the other 4 determined by the mysterious drop rate as usual.

this would restore a lot of the confidence lost (or beaten out of us) in the past years. When you’re buying premium packs, you shouldn’t have those moments where it all comes up purple. It just shouldn’t happen.

can I get an amen?

what the ..... realy 

 

well I definitely spent the night with AN Alex.

he denies it, but I know it was him. it was tender, yet potent, like a good perfume, gentle like a rose breathes, strong like the bull watches over its mate. just as I had always dreamt it.

*sigh* one day I will make him mine again. one day.

[So, I am Alex and I sort of run this]

I had a saucy fling with this guy one night in Amsterdam.

For just one night, I knew what was to be a woman.

I'll cherish you forever, sweet prince.

I don't buy tokens. For now I´m resisting the temptation to fall into marketing pretty well.

I spent my 1800 free tokens and only got 1 of these. It's good, but considering that heat is quite at the limit in everything, even finding a place to place 8 kg. means sacrificing something relatively important on the build.

Everything related to resistance is a value  ... but in the case of heat build, a good heat and cooling level I think is more fundamental. If you miss shots by overheating, there is no resistance or resis drainer worth it.

I spent a little over 5800 and got 1 lol

the drop gods have always hated me...

anyways I predict this thing will bring heat back on par with phys.. if not a little higher. set ups like gorgon's will become very OP with these things instead of standard drainers. and the heat axe + red rain mechs will accomodate them very comfortably... plus a new better drone? oh boy theyre gonna be lethal.

anyways enjoy it wep, its a beauty!

[A Second Unicorn Portal]

so far unanimusly positive reactions, but not a lot of exposure so the sample size is small.

will bump this thread in case it just got burried too fast - if people are genuinely just like "meh" I'll let it go though.

[Getting Relics back from old Divine items]

I was actually thinking something similar but along the lines of breaking a myth a part in order to get 5 transform relics. A lot of people have old myths they don’t want or use anymore now gathering dust. It ain’t worth fusing then directly because of just how much fuse power is lost. But if I could break some of my old nightfalls into 5 transform relics that would be quite handy.

[Fractured Basalt Annihilator]

this baby is working out pretty good for me. Been a while since a has been like me has been able to play with the big boys lmao (tongue-in-cheek).

might even buy more toks to get a second. Dropped 2.9k and got mostly purples (ah that all familiar frustration, how I missed thee) and non l-ms junk yellows. But I dunno. I’m feeling hot now.

also don’t expect to stay this high lol. I imagine you’ll see a lot of heat axe + sword + swoop drones + double basalt disolvers become the new hot mech in the coming weeks.

sooth say the soothsayer.

but yeah. Grab it if you can. If you can’t, don’t sweat it bros. Never forget it’s just a game

well I got it to myth. looks pretty good. 180 backfire aint cheap but +15 drain and only 8 weight its pretty solid.

So like, I don't usually make these sorts of threads, but if one already exists I can't find it.

if one exists then I'll be happy to close this one

does anyone have it yet? have you maxed it?

 

I'm pretty excited for it so think I'm going to try cop atleast one of them. never thought I'd be rooting for heat over physical, but here we are lmao.

okay, I'm thinking this is epic.
