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

White element is a beautiful form of art, what are you talking about? You make a valid point. Why is this topic even a thing, anyways?

It's a white [redacted]ing laser beam, obviously! Everyone remembers the white [redacted]ing laser beam, right? That one laser beam that shot white lasers and did white element damage? Right? Yeah, that didn't exist but I'm just making the best of this opportunity.

Level 276. Pretty sus.

In that case, this is the life of a 250 described by a living 250 player.

Nope, fuel's still limited up there but people have their fuel cap buff maxed out, so 90 fuel ain't bad for grinding as a level 250 player. Meanwhile, I have 83 fuel.

It'll do damage. Other than that, I don't know, either.

This thing.

That's exactly how I feel but I also fear the potential of a physical EMP being a thing since that was found in the potential item sprites along side OEMP and OHB.

The items that Tactisoft didn't release that he said that he would release.. For some reason.

2 guaranteed legendaries from level-up boxes. At level 200, it's a Platinum Plating. At level 250, it's a Maximum Protector. The other level-up boxes are premium boxes that guarantee epics with a chance for legendaries and an even smaller chance for those legendaries to be a premium.

Level 250 gives you a legendary Maximum Protector then makes your XP bar permanently empty with the word "MAX" in it, representing the eternal emptiness that you'll feel for the rest of the time that you'll be playing as a max level player. ... But I wouldn't know how that emptiness would feel like since I'm only level 205, so I got 45 more levels to go before I can experience that emptiness for the rest of time.

For some reason, I had a feeling that the portal was gonna be skipped. It probably had something to do with the lack of portals since the St. Patrick's Day portal but it could just be me.

I have: 2 Pumpkins 1 Mexican Hat (Sombrero) 3 St. Patrick's Day Hats And... 1 Snowball Perk

That's the exact same thing that I was wondering about. An offer in place of a portal that celebrates Cinco De Mayo is a pretty bad move when the portal has been one of the older celebration portals that this game has been doing for a long time. Also, I still have my sombrero from last year, so I just need 2 more from this year's portal in order to finish my sombrero hunting quest.

For my names: A.T.O.M - Real Steel reference. Desert Eagle - Handgun reference and it sounded cool. Avenger - My first myth torso being Avenger. Incineration Order - Original Flamethrower-type build and it sounded cool. Whiteout - White paintjob on my mech and it sounded cool. Leberecht Maass - Reference to the German WWII destroyer since I used that ship in World of Warships a lot at the time. {{W.H.I.T.E.O.U.T}} - Back to old roots but with a cooler, more original appearance.

For premium versions of E-M items, yes. But for premiums that have epic and lower counterparts, the connection between the two are usually the same connection shared by E-M items and their rare and lower counterparts.

So you mean something like this? Disintegration is the backfire counterpart of Annihilation. Hot Flash is the non-premium counterpart of Hybrid Energy Cannon. Twisted Flux is the lower-tier counterpart of Abomination. They're only examples of what you described but I could be wrong about what you were referring to. Feel free to correct me if that is the case.

Yeah, I made a mistake when I said that since they're still two energy swords even if they're connected but I was only quoting what I said at the time, so I have to quote that failure of perspective. But hey, I get to make up for it by confessing my mistake through a reply.

I was on Discord until I came across a friend that was talking about Scalpel and I mentioned that Scalpel is technically the only energy sword in the game since it has a relation to Brightroar, an L-M energy sword and only sword of its tier (which was a mistake of mine since I was caught up in the spur of things. Scalpel and Brightroar are still two entities, even if connected, so I definitely screwed up when I said that. Anyways, back to the topic-). That then brought up a discussion about what this topic is about. The game doesn't mention item relationships being a feature (a point that said friend brought up) but the game doesn't have an explanation for items bearing close similarities yet having cut-off segments in their transformation ranges (like Royal Launcher being C-R and Supreme Cannon being E-M when C-M items are possible). Due to this being a rather complex topic to discuss about, I want to see what others think about the matter, hence this topic and the poll that comes with it. So, what are your views on the matter? Do you think that counterparts could be a part of SM or are counterparts too complex of a system for the game to handle? A Quick Explanation of Counterparts For those who are confused by what I mean by the term "counterpart", it's where two items share similarities in a metamorphosing fashion, where the lesser item becomes the greater item and gains a new style. An example of what I mean would be Rapid Destruction and Spartan Carnage. Rapid Destruction, a R-E top-mounted chaingun that caps out at epic, becomes maxed out at level 30.. However, then there is Spartan Carnage, a L-M top-mounted chaingun that caps out at mythical (not including divine), becomes maxed out at level 50. Rapid Destruction stats from a low tier but doesn't end at a high tier while Spartan Carnage ends at a high tier but doesn't start from a low tier. Hence why I believe that counterpart relationships exist as a way to explain how some items start from higher tiers or how others end at lower tiers. Of course, there are exceptions, but those are less frequent than the ones that mostly fit the situation that Rapid Destruction and Spartan Carnage are involved in. I could involve other reasons why I believe that counterparts are a thing but they're more like nitpicks rather than solid points, so I won't include them in the grand scheme of things. Anyways, that's all from me. I apologize for the long topic but I wanted to go in-depth with the topic at hand so that everyone could be on a similar page. Also, feel free to leave your thoughts down below if you want to go in-depth with your reasoning.. But only as long as it doesn't come down to serious debating about rights and wrongs. This is a topic about views rather than facts, so treating it as such is unnecessary and would cause more problems than solutions. But with that being said, I hope everyone has a pleasant rest of their day, whether it be the dawn of a new day or the dusk of a closing one. This is Whiteout, signing off (not literally).

Rapid Destruction is worse than Spartan Carnage. It needs a buff.

Spam is a reputation farmer. That's basically it.

Flaminator is good enough as it currently is. You just need to have a proper setup in order for it to work. Also- Did you seriously just make a buff topic because Hybrid Heat Cannon, a premium version of Flaminator, is a better version of Flaminator? Just asking because Flaminator and Hybrid Heat Cannon both struggle against energy builds due to their high energy cost but that's why they're combo'd with lower energy cost weapons like Corrupt Light or used on builds with good energy costs for when they're dual wielded.

I get what you're getting at when you're talking about how worthless they are.. But they're meant to be backfire+retreat versions of Terror Cry, Last Words, and Abomination. Basically how Disintegration is the backfire version of Annihilation, where it does slightly more damage and is lighter than the original at the cost of backfire rather than being cost-free. Though, you could also call them discount versions of the originals that they're copying since they're equal or slightly worse than said originals. However, the worse quality is most likely a way to compensate for the infinite uses and lower weight of the cannons.

Not everyone has a Rusty Energy Armor or Lightning Platinum Vest lying around, so the mech's alright with Naga until Drasty gets one of the two premium energy torsos.
