  1. Realistically, I think there could be more seasonal activities here.

    World of Tanks (PC) run (insane) christmas missions for (very) decent rewards in game. tons of credits (gold), boosters (power kit), and some experience kits for the crew (high xp?)

    They run this for about four weeks each christmas season since 2018.

    Details
    2020 July see WoT's 10th birthday and everyone that logged in get 7 free premium tanks (unique tanks that earn 50% more credit and xp than regular tanks, not necessarily overpowering)
    There wasn't much thanksgiving, but WoT Blitz (mobile counterpart) have a cash-carrot event about once per month (small rewards without paying $5 for a "pass" and very big rewards if paid). Better than nothing for f2p, if you ask me.
    But, aside from that, I genuinely think the premium pass is a very very good bargain. If I play semi-actively I can get approximately 150% rates than from the best offers. If I was less determined F2P I would have purchased it.
    Both of following items cost $4.99
    (reward from level 17 premium pass: 550 gold, 14K free xp (worth 560 gold + grinding), 900000 credit (worth 2.25K gold), avatar, various boosters (roughly worth 200 gold). Max pass level is 50.)
    (reward from "winner's rich loot": 1250 + 750 gold)
    The only other event that would persuade me to open my wallet, is Steam Summer Sale.

    Yes, we had a free premium pack for this winter, and unfortunately I didn't get it even if I am there on time ☹️

    But I believe we can host ,ore of the (actually) rewarding activities rather than simply giving out (small amount of) stuff. It will give a proportional boost to everyone everywhere on the ladder. Well, mostly.

    See, I can't insert that as collapsable snippet.

  2. I thought that he'd better get his energy up by a bit; even if he might not be encountering enregy mechs (or if he is ignoring energy mechs) he might as well have a BIT more than that

    Like, say, swap cooling boost with energy boost.

    He can also swap a heat engine out with a plate, unless he IS thinking about a heat counter (of which the low res offers little help)

    1 range 1 weapon

    I had thought about it, but using combo of stomp + seraphblade (or stomp + nightfall/bloodweep) is doable, consider that stomp deals decent damage and lowers res, so I didn't comment too much on that.

    I feel like a single distance shredder will do enough; he don't need a mighty cannon. but if he do have one, then he might as well build a long-range phys and thus the backstabber drone is a waste.

    Hugger should use a backbreaker and a sword, as always. Or mercy and annihilations. Multiple range 1-2 to be the best.

    It's a conflict, because the mighty cannon's range only overlap (nightfall, bloodweep) at range 4. so if a long-range phys is desired it might as well be mighty + spartan (and/or terror cries and/or sweetie).

    For a close range (not point-blank) it's fine, but then, you don't need mighty cannon. drop it and get a range 1 weapon because your drone pulls.

    have fun with rank 3-5

    If that's your goal you can .... well, basically build your best mech. Then slightly reduce the effectiveness of it

    You don't need that much heat unless it's a heat counter.

    ______
    And, to be honest, I think distance shredder work better than mighty cannon (in reducing distance) ...

    If you have it, of course.

    Realistically, I don't think you will ever use that scope -- you don't even have teleport. Maybe armor destroyer will work better in your favor.

    why they are so ez?

    what are you talking about?

    I'm saying that the overload preventor will make sazall's mech more hard to bring down. I'm not saying i must be stronger to best the foes in the image because i had already beaten them up (rather squarely)

    ___________

    Much like this one

    what do you mean in 2 days it will be over?

    In 2 days, all Adobe Flash player will refuse to run Flash.

    I had seen it before -- I had flash installed, and enabled, yet it(the flash window) pops up a icon saying "get adobe flash player" and nothing else.

    I checked the html (local copy of website) and it had the flash frame. It just refuse to load its content.

    I hope my standalone flash player (.exe) works. And yes, TS' flash works too. But too bad I'm in china so it throws a "invalid region" and stops flash.

    ____________
    As of your inability to enable flash, I thought the date (for Microsoft Edge and the like) is like Jan 1 2021 and it's way past that (for almost 2 weeks). Anyhow my flash is broken so it doesn't make a difference lmo

    Nightmare is a c-m item it’s not very good

    The reason nightmare (and sith) and perhaps intercepter is "good" is because they have good heat/energy stats (per weight)

    Using those torsos will likely force you to use those new heavyweight modules (e.g. overload preventer, dual storage module, fortress) to take advantage of the low weight of these jet torsos

    Afterall, there exist a 3K health Sith build(without buffs), and for what I can tell you it looked very promising. Maybe not the top 10, but maybe not rank 7 either.

    will create some inequality.

    What the heck is position 0, anyway?

    And, I assume position 4M is unsigned integer overflow. Prove me wrong.

    See you tomorrow at rank ...

    4,294,967,294

    Hey look! It is unsigned integer overflow. I'm so smart

    The "programming" calculator refuse to do unsigned integer. idk why

    Ok. See you at rank 0. Or rank 1. or rank -2,147M. or rank 4B.

    (Don't be rank 4B lol i am not that useless)

    we should stick to the e-m l-m c-m 

    The reason for this is to have cash carrots.

    Ignoring the need to get cash, I think we still need to differentiate primary weapons (e.g. spartan carnage line, sword line) from those secondary weapons (e.g. explosive retreat)

    so we will have C-Ds, R-Ds, and E-Ds. Game balance wise, that's the best -- everyone can get what they wanted.

    The downside, of course, is that the staff won't get any cash flowing into their pocket. And they need it to happen, because they need to run the server and they need to feed themselves.

    I am introducing... Blueprints!

    Maybe you can get fragments of blueprints (of L-D) in boxes. Maybe let's change it so 50% of fortune box for base players (or all players) will be blueprint boxes that exclusively drop blueprints.

    You can't get duplicate blueprints, either. It shall always be a new one. If you got all blueprints then you shall get 1K gold per piece.

    When you have enough fragments of blueprints (of an item; 6 to 12 fragments per item), you can now "assemble" the blueprint and "research" the L-D item. The L-D item will then be able to be made in the "fusion center".

    Certain L-Ms (e.g. mighty cannon) that have no C-E counterpart can have different recipe; 2x night eagle + 2x rapid destruction, for example. They can also share the cost of, say, spartan carnage (of 4x rapid destruction)

    L-M items that are obtained will need to have one dismantled (destroyed) to prepare the blueprint for them researched. Dismantling shall take time.

    Cost of reproduction can be negotiated but 25M gold sounds a bit too much. Maybe 10x the cost of a "chance of legendary" sounds decent. Or 4x. That's more acceptable.

    ___________________
    I'd be very willing to fuse 4x maxed epic redwall for a seraphblade(and the like), although I'm not quite there yet and 25M price tag sounds like insane.

    Bro, it's million. And 25 of them. You can get enough food to max 25 mythicals with 25 million I think.

    guys why is it so hard to get a night eagle? ive noticed a lot of players with them. i have NEVER, EVER, gotten one......and ive been playing for 3 years

    me neither.

    I got quite some night eagles and had fused some already, but I don't need them.

    I'd wish to NOT have my sweetie and have nightfall rather than have sweetie, even if the 3-6 range can be somewhat handy.

    tonto can even hit higher dmg and drain more resits

    I believe those two are the rarest epics of all epics.

    I had firefly, but it's useless for a boiler.

    I also can't source a electrolyte, even though I don't need one

  11. There's no way you can apply paint to a level 40 legendary (that is transformable) because you are taken to the transformation screen instead

    Maxed item that are ... well, maxed, will be able to applied paint because there won't be a transforming screen.

    ________
    Fix: idk. Do not immediately go to transform screen. Rather, show the usual boost screen, then show a button that lead the user to transform screen.

    R-M torso

    It's C-D. They are the only 6 items that, once acquired, can help serve you all the way up to rank 1. If you do them proper.

    The reason we don't have people talking about Mr. Nightmare until the combined mods is because they simple don't offer enough bang because they are light.

    Same thing with Mr. Interceptor and Mr. Sith.

    Because the existence of heavy mods (that pack more punch), it becomes viable again to use these lightweight torsos. But the heavy mods are premium, so f2p people (like me) won't be switching anytime soon.

    *cries in Nightmare*. 

    Impressive. Perhaps this is the motive behind introduction of heavyweight mods? (beside to end the tale for counters)

    Avenger

    I was going to use Avenger for my phys, but I rushed ahead and got Naga and Rusty Energy for my energy. I don't need a 4th myth.

    Holy this these stats look outrageously OP. At least, from what they once were.

    capable of toppling the original energy champion torso known as GrimReaper?

    Naga is good. It's actually better than grim. Even before buff

    GRIM REAPER (329)  879 HP 346 Eng 112 Reg 193 Het  64 Col  22PhyRes 22ExpRes 16EleRes
    NAGA        (335)  982 HP 279 Eng 104 Reg 193 Het  72 Col  22PhyRes 22ExpRes 16EleRes
    	

    Because it weigh 6 kg more.

    Sad fact might be that grim is R-D and Naga is E-D, which justify the act of "pay to win"

  14. As shown recently elsewhere I had transformed Brutality to Mythical

    (re-used image)

    Unfortunately it also appears that there are issues related to the side weapon slots.

    The side weapon slots appear to have its position swapped, with the item in the top slot appearing higher than the item in the bottom slot.

    I have equipped brutality and Zarkares as torso.

    As you can see when the slots are flipped the weapons will appear in the right spot

    Putting the right weapon in the right spot will have them show up really weird:

    _________________________
    Because of how weird it looks, I have swapped the top and bottom rows. Pictures below show the config in the first picture

    This does not present a huge issue, however because of the swapped slots some behavior will look weird (especially the swinging of melee weapons such as the sword and hammer)

    The flipped nature of the slots can be proven in workshop as mechs sometimes perform the "slashing" move. In those cases, they will perform the "slashing" attack with the upper left weapon, which, in this case, is a hot flash.
