Woah, settle down there buddy. You can clearly see in the screenshot provided that Lazy Falcon won't fire because of insufficient range and lack of HP. The fact that it's 2021 and you don't know about this bug disturbs me.
Sorry Kirubi, but I think this was just a programming oversight by Tacticsoft. This is partially why I don't use any of the backfire scopes, as they're simply too heavy, too costly, and don't provide nearly enough utility over the normal scopes.Yeah I'm starting to see that now
apologies for any harm caused. I don't know about the bug because I had a very long break from sm, left during the claw event, returned during damaged armour annihilator. Very sorry

If you couldn't change the password, they have pretty much changed all the details. You won't be getting the account back unless some miracle happens. The only thing you can do is make a new account and dont share details in the future

Jesus christ.
The fact that you are rank 8 and don't even know what RANGE IS disturbs me. It's not because of backfire, it's because you are too close
(Sorry guys, I was in a very bad mood and it seems my eyes have failed me. It is certainly a very weird bug and I hope it is fixed)

Why cant you download it? Real shame you're being forced to quit like this

How about your frantic? How many damage?
I don't have frantic. That is the only thing that could be happening. According to workshop unlimited: A divine frantic brute without arena buffs does 205-515 damage, but a divine frantic brute WITH full arena buffs does 246-618 damage

Base
You should include that it will take months to max base out. And even with power kits it is still slower than using silverboxes to upgrade. It is recommended that you don't enable base or disable it until you have 3 maxed mechs at least.
Don't
You should change it to try not to use more than 4 side weapons, because there are some good builds with 4 side weapons. But if you have 4 side weapons, you shouldn't have any top weapon with the exceptions that is in there. It is also fine to be a little overweight, so long as you have a good build or have enough health to afford it.
Energy Mechs
I would remove the first point, since it's not true at all. Remove hungering beam from the 2nd point since it's useless because it can't go higher than epic.
Heat Mechs
You should say that there are two main types of heat mechs, damage and boiler. Only boiler mechs try to shut the opponent down.
Physical Mechs
You should always try to have all special items in a physical mech. Don't use armor destroyer because it only goes up to epic. And instead of trying to have a melee weapon, you should have a close range weapon.
You should never upgrade or use items that don't go to divine if you have better items. The only exception is when making legendary food for transforming into mythical.
Thanks a lot! this is very helpful, these should be added soon enough, the guides were very outdated, so it needed some newer points

There were numerous spelling errors and I corrected many of them. My new profile on the wiki is apparently PixelBeam.
I appreciate the capitalisation corrections, but we are using english english as a language, so some of the spellings where fine, but many thanks nonetheless, i hadnt noticed a lot of the mistakes!

As the title says, I re-wrote another awful page! What do you think about it? Is there anything that I've missed or that needs changing?

Was there only the option to add power kits or was every item a power kit?

Why, yes; yes you can. Its part of risk analysis when doing a bid. I got 25 years of being an engineer under my belt, and if I fail to identify a problem going into a bid, I get blamed for not having done my job. You have a risk register that is there just for the "unseen" things, because you can't always see the future as you said, but if you don't build enough into your bid and schedule to cover the unseen, then you didn't do your job; "Failed to estimate the scope". Which is why I had naïve as part of SuperNoGo's part in this. They didn't understand fully what they were signing up for. Over promised and under delivered.
It is different in the programming world though. You physically have no way of knowing about issues until they show themselves. That's why there are delays for games and programs due to bugs and big problems nobody knew would appear.
Delays are almost always an inevitability, and seeing as there wasn't a date SuperNova promised, you can't say they have failed their job. At least they are actually trying to complete their task. They haven't just given up and are instead trying to fix the big problems that have appeared.

and well of course the fortune boxes always give commons
yes probably but what about clevername he has really good luck
He crops his recordings so that it only shows him getting the item he is showcasing in his video, otherwise the videos would be very long and boring. There isn't a currently known method of manipulating RNG in SM, so just keep opening fortunes and you will get something soon enough

Not to kick SuperNoGo while it is down, but.....
1) They are on contract by Kong, in which they are getting paid for this
or
2) They are freelancing it and promised what they couldn't deliver.
Either way, the mantra is under promise and over deliver, not over promise and under deliver. They simply were arrogant and/or naïve and now its coming back to bite them, and by extension all of Kong. Kong should have had something in place at least a month in advance to work through these exact issues. And Gato... well you are a victim of TS selectively moving accounts when as you say, it was 'illegal', and now your users are separated into the have and have nots. And we, the people at Kong... well, yeah we knew this was coming for a long time, and we trusted Kong to have a fix in place, and/or TS/Gato to move us like it did others if it all went south, so shame on us for being over trusting.
tl;dr
Lots of blame to go around on everyone.
There isn't any blame to go around. There are unforeseen circumstances affecting what can happen and what can't. If there where no issues that no-one knew would happen, it would all be working smoothly. But there are issues, so it isn't. You can't blame someone for not being able to see the future can you?

There have been a lot of posts that go a bit like this recently: "Help my account has been hacked and i cant log in. I gave someone my details and now it says the login details dont exist please help"
Do not under any circumstances share your account details:
Not only is it against the ToS (Terms of Service), but it is also a big risk to your account.
Firstly: People haven't "hacked" your account. There is currently no known way to hack someone's account without knowing any of the details. They steal peoples accounts.
How can they steal it?
There is no verification involved when changing account details. You can easily change them without anyone knowing. They literally only need your account details.
Why would they steal it?
People will steal accounts for many reasons, but mostly it is so they can sell the account and get a profit from it. You might think, "But im a low level and im only rank 15", but they can still sell them, but they will be cheaper. Starting with a rank 15 account is better than starting with a completely new account.
How can I keep my account safe?
The only reason this problem exists for SM is because people share accounts. Never share your accounts to anyone, even if you trust them. Co-piloting is a thing, but it isn't supposed to be.
"But you can progress easier with co-piloting." This is true to a point. Almost all top players have never had a co-pilot, and never will. Sure its nicer to know that someone is grinding out campaign for you while you sleep, but it is still against ToS.
How can I know if someone is trying to steal my account?
It is pretty easy and simple to tell. I was approached the other day by someone trying to take my account. I will show the tactics used.
First they will say they want to swap/switch an account. They will show a screenshot of a pretty good mech and say it is their account. They will probably show some other mechs.
The second I saw that screenshot I knew it was a hacked account. There is no way you can have that many premium modules and not have your modules already maxed and some divined, unless you have really got your priorities wrong. With that many legendaries you will have full mythical weapons, and as you can see his top weapon is only legendary.
If you ask for some more screenshots they will probably send some. I asked for a main-page screenshot after seeing some more of his mechs. He sent this:
There are many things wrong with this image. Firstly: the tokens are cut off from the edge of the screenshot. This will never be a mistake and he will be trying to hide the amount from you. Also, there is very clearly a portal going on in this screenshot, and it was not a portal day that day.
I asked how many tokens he had, and he said 49k. If you had that many tokens you would not want to swap an account, because that is thousands of pounds worth of tokens.
All in all:
Do not swap accounts with ANYONE, and do not share your account details with ANYONE either. You will only succeed in getting your account stolen and most likely sold on.

As most of you hopefully know by now, I am an admin of the SM Wiki. Unfortunately due to not having access to stats and images for items, the amount of editing being done in the wiki has massively slowed down. However one thing the wiki is lacking that can be added is a beginners guide. Someone had attempted to create a guide previously, but they involved more personal statements than helpful tips. After re-writing or deleting these guides, we are left with a small tips page and some general info about the game.
Due to this, I have decided to write a beginner's guide that covers pretty much everything there is to know. As I am a human, I can't think of every little thing to include, so:
What is the most important thing for beginners to know in your opinion?
What tips would you give beginners?
Literally anything that beginners should know or at least be aware of would be very helpful!

Level 25, painted, and low res (mobile).
You'll want to replace this with a better one once you get it
A decent image is better than no image, so thanks!

Yes, I can teach you. A good resource to learn these things is the wiki too, which I am an Admin of. Check out the fandom wiki first, then join the official discord server and ping me (GeometricalTaco) with any questions

You have a valid point, but if the reward was similar, what would be the point in winning clan wars and grinding to be the best?

I just imagine if you lost at one moment account that you created for many years. And someone said why you keep trying.
It's not the players' fault. Kong players shouldn't be worse than others.
GATO believes that Kong players represent only 1-2% of total. But I see that Trolls lost 5 players, we lost one player, whole clan of Top 10 was destroyed (JASMS). At Top level this is not at all 1-2% for whole game. This is much more significant. GATO would be worth taking better care of players who have spent several years to grow to that level.I was only saying why do you keep trying because I doubt there is a solution to this. As I said, keep hoping but dont hope too much

Tak nawet nie wiedziałem że takie są więc nie wiem też nie dostałem nagrody ta chyba na nowy rok albo wcześniej
To bardzo dziwne. Czy mógłbyś przesłać zrzuty ekranu swojego konta, areny i tego, co się dzieje, gdy logujesz się po 24 godzinach bez gry? Zgłoszę problem w języku angielskim, aby programiści mogli go łatwo zrozumieć. Miejmy nadzieję, że uda im się to naprawić

Agreed, but the energy drain has a difference of less than 10, plus more cost of energy, less resistance drainage, and backfire, too ..
Of course its your choice to choose what stats are more important, but from experience, I can tell you youd be better off sticking with a different drone
Wiki Items needed list
in Game Discussions
Posted
Hi Guys! Remember me?
Well I spent around 7 hours going through the entire wiki, making a list of all the items that are missing on the wiki, and putting said items into a google doc.
Now, by the amount of time it took me, you can probably guess that there are a LOT of items missing, and you would be right about that lol.
EVERY ITEM has at least one lot of stats missing.
Obviously I can't get all of these by myself, but I do have a bunch of people helping out. But its only a small bunch, and they don't have all the items.
SO, It would be absolutely amazing if people in the community could share stats in this list that are missing. A screenshot of the item tab in the workshop is all thats needed!
Link for the google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zC8oDXlSdD_QKEoqBqYuwUz9Q296QEHgY5U2TKg0R4A/edit?usp=sharing
Thank you all again for any donations(?) of stats to help me and the wiki team out!
