W.H.I.T.E.O.U.T

There used to be a guide for that had the shading, line colors, surface colors, and gradients but the Adobe Animate Sprite Guide doesn't seem to be working properly anymore since all of the images that would show examples are only redirects back to the central page of these forums.

I meant the misconception for the "Spam might not be spam but he's Spam" joke since you quoted me, saying that you weren't mentioning Spam as in the user and were talking about the annoying duplicate message in a consecutive manner type of spam. I know that you weren't talking about the player Spam but it's been a reoccurring joke of where Spam is called spam and vice versa, hence why I made the joke. Hopefully this is enough to clear things up.

It was a joke this time, so there's no misconceptions here.. At least, for now since the topic's pretty peaceful. I wouldn't count blessings just yet, though, because the forums and the game itself have proven themselves to be good at changing directions in the matter of a heartbeat.

Is there a lighter shade of grey that you could try? Not trying to be nitpicky since I do like that shade of grey.. But that might be a bit too dark for a grey shade on the front of the drone.. Any item should have a lighter front to emphasize the feeling of light being projected on it from a frontal perspective.. Since that's the SM theme of lighting.

That's a really high detailed recreation. Definitely looks badass but it would've been nice if you kept the dark square that was on the side of the drone. It provides a nice accent to the bolt symbol and it allows the ring around the symbol to be seen.

Don't forget the Normal + Hard difficulties of the latest gold portal giving out 50 and 60 tokens, basically making it an Insane's worth of tokens without the Insane's worth of difficulty. If the portals to come have that same payout, I'd say that would be a pretty fair way to get 110 tokens from Normal and Hard mode runs. Although, I wonder when the "min gold - max gold" gold portal format for gold rewards is gonna make a comeback. Just wanted to add onto that since we're mentioning the event buffs and their increased payouts.

It's a beam-type drone.

We still have Spam. He might not be spam but he's surely Spam. Also, suddenly surprising thread activity burst is surprising.

Remember the Sprite Help topic that I posted earlier? Well.. I managed to get help for how to do that via direct message (thank you, Spam) and I worked on creating a sprite of my own (for once). This is the result: I know that it's definitely not the best quality for a drone sprite but I think it turned out kinda decent for the fact that it was a first time thing. Although, I don't know what to call it yet, so feel free to share your ideas on what its name should be. Oh and here's an extra thing: Programs Used Google Draw Pixlr X Remove.bg Proof Literal step-by-step of program usage.

Oh- My apologies then. I've been thinking a bit too much due to this topic and now my thoughts are a bit skewed.

All I'm saying is that the reward boost is good but it shouldn't be too easy to get the rewards. Also, I'm a F2P that didn't say anything about F2Ps being trash. Where did that even come from?

What? All of my posts up to my most recent one has been about keeping it as is but my current one is a more of a compromise that involves both sides instead of one. I hope that this clears up the potential confusion.

I was wondering if someone could help teach me about how to properly make custom item sprites. I'm thinking of learning about sprite creation since I want to do something creative but I don't have experience with these sorts of things, so I would appreciate it if someone taught me how. Also, is there a free software/program that can allow for smooth sprite creation? If yes, could you provide a link to it? Thank you in advance. Note: I don't know where to go for assistance, so I posted this in Fanart since this is the closest thing that I know of that relates to things like custom sprites and stuff.

This whole topic is hard to explain due to its two-sided nature. Good and bad things could potentially branch out if either side is chosen. So I'm mainly trying to keep an open mind about this but I'm also trying to see which side may have a more clear impact since better rewards and an easier portal could be a blessing or a curse depending on RNG and what players do with the tokens but the same could be said with keeping the portals this way, where "effort = reward". However, either choice is doable by high ranks and P2Ws, so they won't be affected, but both choices will leave a certain impact on the lower ranks, whether it be lower-ranked players getting premiums or some myth food from packs they got with the token payout and overtaking less fortunate players that did the same thing but only got all-epics (basically what's happening now but accelerated), or low ranked players having to work for tokens at the cost of focusing on getting and maxing specific weapons to counter portal enemies. Both ways can work but both ways can backfire.

Ah yes.. A S C E N S I O N .

If you decrease the overall difficulty of the portal, you're also technically making it a cakewalk for higher-ranked people.

My bad. Sometimes, it's hard to tell when someone's being serious or exaggerative when they're in a topic about an Insane difficulty in a gold portal.

Heat or Energy builds work best in OD-8 Insane. Also, avoid the Mighty Cannon whenever possible while energy-breaking/shutting Bigboy down in order to ensure that you'll survive long enough to do so.

You also have to get more fuel for another OD-6 Insane run because 7 fuel isn't enough. Don't forget about that important bit, too.

Considering the hell that the game's going through, I don't Alex wants to go game file diving just to release Tactisoft-related new items when he's trying to handle the current issues (like cheaters and exploiters) that are affecting the game negatively.

The whole point of the portal isn't to throw tokens out to everyone like it's free candy. It's a way to gain more gold because of how it's a gold portal. You don't lose gold per revive and you sure as hell get a lot of gold from each difficulty tier, each one giving more gold than the likes of a single run of popular gold farming stages. The tokens here are only an added bonus, so they're there just because the game's being generous enough to give out tokens during portals at all. But the focus of this whole topic has been nothing but tokens. If you seriously forgot the name of the portal just because you want everyone to get tokens, you should at least take into consideration that the portal and all portals in general don't have to give out tokens since they're already giving out things like perks, items, or, in this case, gold. As for the lack of portals, I won't bring up a worn-out topic that's been beaten enough.

Good News: I unloaded 56 fuel into OD-6 Normal and I got no fortune boxes this time. So my luck streak is either gone or it's giving me a false sense of security before it catches me off-guard with another backfire premium. But it's eventually going to end at some point... ... Right?

Did I read that right or did you honestly think that I said anything about equipping 18 Heat Bombs? I simply referred to this and I get called "braindead" for it. Nice play. This is the model of literally every "high-tier" thing in SuperMechs. Whether it be 3v3 Insane, Arena Top Ranks, or Raid, the fact that some divine premium modules are needed is inevitable. However- I did NOT say that you didn't need premium mods in order to beat the portal on Insane. I only said that you don't need premium weapons in order to do it, which was why I brought up the E-M and R-M weapons from before. The fact that the portal has a difficulty system similar to campaign doesn't make it a scam, though. Sure, you'll lose tokens on revives but the portal drops 110 tokens from Insane. That's literally room for 6-7 revives and you'll still walk away with 40 tokens. If anything, you're able to walk away with a lot of gold and a handful of tokens even after you revive a lot vs Tactisoft portals that could've just been the same difficulty and you would walk away with no tokens because of how the Insane pay would be like 50 tokens. But anyways, if you're gonna reply to this, Tirreggregars, do it without making petty insults just because you failed to read properly. I'm listening to everything you have to say, so there's no reason for you to get mad at me for voicing what I think about things. Oh, and if you want to have a friendly exchange about opinons, drop this thing first. You're turning an opinion-based topic into something that it isn't. Opinions aren't right or wrong, so don't try to make them that way.
