    Nah man no way. I barely even believe it. We will miss you man. Good luck to you and whoever will be controlling your account. Will you be deleting your YT btw?

    Won't be deleting it, but yes will be making a quitting vid soon

    And to everyone else - thank you very much for all the lovely messages - I will miss this community very much 😞

    I'm Quitting SM

    Posted

    Well - you read the title. It's been a fantastic ride playing SuperMechs, but my time has come to leave the game. I have really enjoyed the nostalgia these past couple of years from this game, remembering the times when I played when I was younger. However, I've arrived at the point where the game is too boring and feels like work for me. Additionally, my real world responsibilities are increasing and it's time for me to do something else in my free time. 

    I believe I've achieved everything that I originally had planned to, so I'm happy to announce that I can leave the game on a good note. I've really enjoyed the community here - there are some great people and I believe I can call them my friends. Not going to tag people - but you know who you are 🙂

    In terms of the transition of my account, I will be giving my account to a couple of trusted people. I will not be revealing who they are, but they are respected people in the community with deep SM knowledge. 

    Again, I really want to emphasize that the community has been great and has been a major reason why I haven't quit earlier. I appreciate getting to know folks and learn about their backgrounds. @Alexander & the Gato team - thank you for the privilege of keeping SuperMechs going and wishing the best for the future of the game. I also wish everyone else the best and good luck in SuperMechs and life 🙂

    With many bittersweet feelings,

    What weapons would you recommend for a mid-game heat build? And would you recommend running a hybrid?

    Try to get as close to the meta builds as you can - best long term strategy

    Hi. I'm very new to this game. I saw there there are a lot of buffs to purchase in the arena shop. What should I prioritize?

    I think increasing the rate of free Fortune Boxes is great. I also think increasing the upgrade speed of base is nice, but maybe become useless after maxing base. Is it ideal to prioritize free Fortune Boxes buff over the others(such as campaign gold increase)?

    Also, are the stats buff applies in the arena only, or does it apply to campaign too?

    P.S. Is this the right place to ask this? if so where should I? are there any comprehensive wikis out there for beginners?

    I wouldn't overthink it too much. If you like farming - go for campaign buffs; if you like fighting - do arena buffs first. But long term, you should max everything (I personally wouldn't do the base buffs until last).

    I've just meet @CleverName in the Arena, thanks to random with the help of the ranking change from the new season at 2:00 a.m. (UTC+2):882789447_PlayersRankingList.png.62197c49d99fc3ef6680726a9827880c.png

    Firstly, the replay didn't appear on CleverName's profile:

    606200223_CleverName1.png.830d68f2dfa3cad64b051cd98495b980.png

    However, it was well displayed on my profile right after the battle:

    1454942302_T-850vsCleverName1.png.51c6abcca35365e451c0083c40b33197.png

    About 4 minutes after the battle, the replay appeared on CleverName's profile:

    746143700_CleverName2.png.718b1329a2259bfdd856fe0d8987492c.png

    Secondly, this replay magically disappeared from CleverName's profile when he won his new medal:

    13015925_CleverName3.png.71474d4e5c76b70267c54c0be1eceec2.png

    Although the replay remains on my profile:

    137500254_T-850vsCleverName2.png.097d712c52974fe34bc3808a6665d62b.png

    But the replay appeared again when I checked after closing/launching the game, an hour and a half later at 3:30 a.m. (UTC+2):

    1302945258_CleverName4.png.f27df023266470903d38938342ed1468.png

     

    Weird thing isn't it?

    Replays come and go randomly - also will show differently for different accounts and platforms (mobile vs desktop). It also depends on your instance of the game - you might see a set of replays, refresh the game and now you do/don't.  I think the server keeps up to 20/30 replays visible at max, not really sure how or why it adds or takes off replays.

    If you want to test the above, just ask a few friends to log on their accounts and view profile from different platforms and refresh different times...

    Fix for boosting issue - restoring instant quit replays

    in Suggestions

    Posted

    Best way to fix boosting: prevent people from matching the same accounts together in short succession. Showing replays doesn't really do anything - it just shows how people are boosting (which all the top ranks already know who boosts who...it's really to appease the noobs who don't know how top ranks work). 

    If Gato can find a way to solve match fixing - that's more effective and scalable than showing replays...But as I mentioned earlier (somewhere) - boosting affects less than 0.0001% of the player base...I'd prefer Gato focuses on actual important stuff, like patching tabbing, releasing new items (eventually), and hopefully changing the game up a little. Not saying they shouldn't think about boosting - but if you look from a historical perspective - it's always been around and top ranks are used to it - better to use your time to drive revenue vs. work on something that won't (imo)

    Thanks for all your hard work and diligence!

    But you forgot to bump the date on the original thread 🙂  

    Still, about this, what do you think about the ramifications of heat taking over META?  And what do you think this means for the future of SM builds?

    Well it depends how you define "taking over" - heat has been by far the strongest element in the game for a few months now. Arguably, heat hugger has also been strongest build, too. I was about 50/50 on them, but after way more testing, I've concluded with strong confidence heat hugger is the best build overall, regardless of season, too. What this means for future of SM builds - nothing much - I think I was merely just reflecting what we've all seen and tested at very high ranks for a while now =P

    CleverName, do you think this could work (december 2020 monkey meta claw scope but "converted" to items I have) ?  Or would lightning recoiler + piercing fox be better for getting the enemy into position, and then toss in a malice beam just to have a 3-6 range weapon?  Or should I use Frantic Lightning?


    image.thumb.png.fddf00b04b27ad3c3976c7d46fd89c0f.png

    I'd post this in build help - definitely not meta. But to answer your question,  no - weak to almost everything except maybe energy, but really awkward space at 4+

    Thanks for your work!  I know you're super busy, but please feel free to drop other builds.

    Or, maybe if this would be a way to save you time, you could put something at the bottom like:

    "Torsos that may be substituted while maintaining Rank 1 possibilities:
    LPV: REA
    MPV: FHA, Nightmare, EFA"

    Just an idea, but again, I know you're busy, so.....................

    I'd recommend you go to the older meta builds thread - similar idea of sorts.

    As most of you know we wlgang have gotten our first medal not too long ago, we worked so hard so we can give BossParody a medal before he leave. After he left i stepped forward and became the new leader of wlgang until he returns. the wlgang family wants him to come back to a surprise, the surprise being more medals. so we are asking you, yes you to join wlgang. We are looking for active players to join wlgang. We need people who are able to get rank 1 in 1v1 and rank 2-3 in 2v2 and 3v3. If your interested in joining then dm me on discord firewater789#8205 or just join the clan. If the main clan is full then join 2.0 or 3.0 and talk to the leader about moving to 1.0.  I hope you join and help us reach top 3 each week :).

    For new comers - this is the first time a top 3 clan has recruited in a while. Try to apply and join while you can 🙂

    fair gameplay = not cheating/hacking. I think that's what most ppl understand  fair gameplay stands by. So you might want to rephrase your sentence

    ~~also talk about fair gameplay~~

     

    I have defeated meta energy mechs. I can do that and i mostly win against energy mechs. In my opinion energy resistance on an energy mech is not as important as heat or phys resistance. I don't have phys resistance btw. Energy resistance on energy mech would help against energy free energy mechs, but i have defeated those even like this. I did encounter Avatar last season. I lost due to starting range, I think you can understand that as it is a basic characteristic of 1v1s.

    about the mercy , distance shredder and double res drainer, i usually lose to those when they have additional energy resistance on. I can still defeat phys scope mechs tho and other sorts of phys mechs.

    A counter is determined by energy/heat stats , not resistance setup in my opinion. After all the build im running in 1v1s is the best result my inventory could give me.

    My account is in good standing 🙂 

    I mean if you think playing the lottery is a fair strategy, then sure by my guest. But imo, nothing is fair about taking away the ability for your opponent to win when they build a proper rounded mech. The best build in the game is still at the mercy of counters... It's one thing to be willing to put your own fight's fate up in the air; but when you forcefully take that away but other players, it's bad taste imo

    If giving to a banned player access to the game trough an honorable account is a joke to you, your humor must be dead or your respect for anyone in Super Mechs probably doesn't exist.

    The "Annoying" one is a cheater and a raid abuser, anyone like her deserve an IP ban, they should have no access to any SM account.

    Ego beats morality.

    if you have any issues, feel free to report a player, but don't spam my thread 🙂

    so mano style build is a counter simply because it doesn't have phys res?

    or energy resist (i.e. has a very hard time beating meta energy or phy)

    Why's a banned player still playing in your clan?

    Do you support this idea.. banned players to still have access to the game?

    At least tell the "Annoying" one to use a free VPN app, she's not just breaking the rules and damaging Joe's immage, she's also disrespectfull to the whole community.

     

    some clans can't take a joke sigh

    huh? My mech isn't always a counter. Sometimes I increase heat capacity at the expense of energy but i have beaten huggers without that alteration as well. But even if my build was utterly a counter, how does "playing fair" match with counters? Is playing counters cheating? If its about them being annoying, for sure they are. However at the same time they are a tactic.  Please don't mix fair gameplay with counters, it gives ppl the wrong impression, and since this concerned me (bc my build was mentioned), i wouldn't like ppl to get the wrong idea about me either, so deal with that.

    :SenkoBread: (i wish i could use that here lol)

    fair gameplay = not playing counters imo (just my opinion, take it as you want)

    If the current META were to suddenly shift towards energy drain-oriented builds, would you keep using your current META energy-free physical hugger or change to an energy-drain build?

    Also, which range would that energy drain build be? 1-2 range hugger? 2-4 range short ranger? 3-6 mid-range? Or perhaps a 4-8 long ranger?

     

    I only play whatever build is best in the game (i.e. meta). There are multiple energy drain builds, but again energy drain is kind of bad - buff or not, it won't be good.
