Hi Pilots, 
Since purchasing Super Mechs we’ve steadily improved the game, a lot of this is a bit boring (like solving some cheats, improving stability, improving base, deals and balance…) but recently we tackled a particular cheat that has been bothering veterans for a long time now. 
By abusing SuperMechs’ architecture, a cheat called "Multitabbing" has been becoming an increasing problem. While the cheat in question has been around for years, it has grown more popular and has proven to be very challenging for us to fix. Since it worked through abusing the very core of the game, multiple attempted fixes simply didn’t work, or caused many other issues. To cope with that for the time being, we have been doing banwaves. These however, have been losing a lot of their effect as cheaters grow more adept at quickly growing multiple new accounts. 
We are happy to announce that as of roughly 2 weeks ago, we have successfully deployed an anti-cheat update. This update addresses several cheats, including the notorious "Multitabbing" cheat. It does this in a definitive manner and after watching cheaters trying (and failing) to use this and other cheats, we are confident at this point that this solution works completely. 
We apologize for not announcing this sooner, we needed cheaters to think nothing had changed simply so that we could monitor their attempts at still using their cheats in the game. Fighting hacking is a long term battle and we had to make sure we really had them this time. We've already done a series of bans targeting the abusers of this cheat and we have more planned still. We are confident the game should already have significantly fewer cheaters now and the remnants should be sent to Brazil as well in the immediate future. You can help by reporting them here.
Please do keep in mind that some players reported just aren't very well known, but quite legit, though. Some cheaters saved up boxes while it still worked, please report these if you see anything suspicious in the drops.
Thanks everyone for sticking with us and helping us by reporting and debugging, in addition our moderator Raul has also been a big help and so has Elcent from our BattleDawn team. Hopefully this makes the game a little better for everyone, please stay tuned to see what we can do now when we don't have to worry about people abusing it to cheat.  
Enjoy playing Super Mechs!

Hi Pilots,
 
We got reports of an issue causing last clan wars' rewards not to send, in addition to duplicating the clan war for another week. 
After investigating the issue, we have now deployed a fix. All players should receive their due clan reward now and should be able to join the next clan war. Please report it to us if there's any issues with the current clan war left.
Thanks for your patience everyone.

Hi Pilots,
We've just done a relatively limited banwave targeting certain cheats based on reports. A few obvious non-reported accounts were caught as well.
Please note we're intending to do another small one if necessary and then a bigger, more thorough one. 
 
The aim here was to remove the accounts currently causing the most grief in the arena, please report to us any cheater we may have missed via the form, we'll get to more unreported ones later. Similarly, duplicate reports by different people with different information are very helpful. 
 
Got banned? Please check our FAQ on appeals and ban errors. Thank you 🙂
 
We're working on anti cheat fixes in the immediate future and intend to move onto balancing after, in paralel to our current work on the next event schedule. 🙂
 

Hi all, 
 
After discussing the Kongregate situation with their director of player relations, we've received permission to transfer certain data (inventories, levels) from Kongregate accounts to new accounts. This is an emergency option for those who are not willing to wait for Kongregate to potentially fix SuperNova. 
Please PM us on Kongregate after creating a new SuperMechs account here (*not in game, in game accounts will not be considered under any circumstances*) using Internet Explorer (or other old browsers, modern ones _will not_ work): https://forum.supermechs.com/forum/ucp.php?mode=register 
PM us the chosen username and we will proceed with the transfer for you. Please note that there may be bugs or loss of some progress in some cases, we will do our best to make things as smooth as possible. Your SM account on Kongregate will most likely no longer function after this.
 
So, again, steps:
Create a new SuperMechs Account using Internet Explorer on the old forums, not via the game PM us on Kongregate with the username of your new supermechs account, ideally with the following form: 
Username of your newly created SM Account as made per instruction:
Kongregate PlayerID (if you know it): 
Do you agree with the transfer of your player data, regardless of potential losses or risks, bricking your Kongregate SuperMechs account: Yes/No

This can only be done once, the PM must be sent from the Kongregate account that you used to log into SuperMechs.   
SuperNova will most likely not work after this, even if it is fixed in the future on Kongregate. This is a destructive action that may only be done once and can never be reversed. 
 
Thank you everyone. 

Hi Pilots, 
 
We wish you all a very merry christmas from SuperMechs!
 
To celebrate, we have a couple of gifts for you. 
 
As some of you may have seen in your notification, everyone is able to collect a free christmas box. If you didn't get the notification, you can also collect it here. 
 
On top of that, there's another special treat for those who follow us actively. You can collect a free Snowball Perk - make sure to pass the link on to your friends as well!

Collect them soon as they'll expire in a few days. Enjoy the game and again, merry christmas!

Hi Pilots,
 
Even in the holidays we'll be hard at work fixing problems and cheating but there's also something else in the closet - balance. 
We'd like to start doing semi-regular (at first we'll ramp it up to once per 2 weeks or so, we'll slow it down again over time as the game gets more balanced) balance changes to both, improve the game balance and keep the meta from getting stale, with the first being the sole priority for the next few months when it comes to balance.
For this reason we're recruiting a balancing team to help advice us on potential changes through discussion in addition to the new "Balance Changes" suggestions category to help give us a more broad idea.
For december (with our internal deadline at january 3) we hope to balance roughly 5-10 items, we prefer buffs over nerfs but obviously both options are in the card based on need. 
 
Thank you for your patience everyone - we hope you'll help us make this game much better!
