    It isn't a cheat as it gives you zero advantage over anyone, because you can only fight in the raid 6 times anyways, if anything it's worse for them as they won't be able to do tier 6 because of this. What is "this"? It's an accidental bug, nothing more.

    Here's a list of most to least bang for your buck in terms of divining certain items.  It's still a work in progress.  At the bottom, I will explain the long story.






    SHORT STORY: This chart can help you decide what items to divine (but it's "on paper" so use your brain).
    LONG STORY: So in my year+ of playing SM, sometimes I've wondered which items I should divine first.  So I set about doing some math to determine this, based on the difference that is made in the stats.
    Basically, looking at what stat increases and by how much is used here to determine "bang for the buck," or statistically what factors increase the most.  There are some caveats to this but just hold on, I'm going to explain.  I am still looking for those who can help me with screenshots on these types of items (the page in SM that tells you what you gain by ascending an item).
    The great players who have played / are playing SM usually recommend to divine torsos first.  If you look at this chart, you see this is confirmed.  This is because heat, energy, and HP of torsos are increased when you divine them.  Sure, this isn't rocket science, we know this.
    But this is useful mainly for other circumstances.  For example, if you're a new player and you can divine either your malice beam or your lightning recoiler, you may not know which you want to divine first.  This chart tells you which item's difference in stats would be the greatest, i.e. which will receive the most benefit from being divined.  (I don't have malice beam yet but based on a 5% reduction from divine, it appears you should divine your malice beams before your lightning recoiler.)
    Now note that this chart is pure math, nothing else.  Obviously this chart is a tool or guide, but it does not account for all factors.  It tries to account for how many times you use it in an arena battle by using the more or less "3-4 turns" concept, so unlimited use items receive a "4" here.  Face shocker receives a 3, etc.  This is just to, statistically, try to account for items with limited shots.  This seems to also match real world game knowledge, as most people don't recommend to newbies to divine their basalt dissolvers first, for example.
    But what I mean is even looking at this chart, you need to determine what is more important to you.  You should still divine torsos first, but if you have 3 divine MPV and 3 divine LPV like me, your next move is usually not to divine HPV.  HPV is useful for some RAID, campaign, and titan stuff, but you don't use it as often as MPV and LPV in this game, so obviously HPV should not be your next divine if you just got your 5th legendary ascension relic.
    So as you look at the chart, think, "what do I use the most?" and use that to decide among the items you use the most.
    So for example, my 3v3 heat damage team I'm currently using.  I am using items like Abomination, Shadow Wolf, and Burning Shower.  Per this chart, burning shower receives the most benefit from being divined, so if I'm choosing between these 3 items, I should divine burning shower first, but of course assuming I've already divined more important items like torsos and such.
    Statistically, modules tend to be towards the bottom, though platinums would be "most" important statistically, followed by defense matrices, combined engines, and quad cores.  Does that mean you should divine defense matrix?  In my opinion, no, because defense matrix, while very useful, is not an "end game" item.  Your "end game" builds are triple fortress.  I have made rank 1 using defense matrix, but barely.  I generally don't consider defense matrix a "rank 1" item.
    I'm still trying to get more data, so this chart IS NOT COMPLETE.  But it's getting close.  There are many other factors to consider like efficiency (damage to weight for weapons, etc.) and build (for instance, Sorrow isn't that good on paper but it works very well in certain builds).
    If you would like to help me with this data, contact me on discord.  Thanks!

    any game really lasts for as long as its players continue playing it. a game does not need updates for people to continue playing it.
    take any popular old single player game, like morrowind, heroes of might and magic, warcraft 3, assassin's creed, etc.
    and even when it comes to multiplayer games, as long as you have servers running, updates aren't mandatory, like team fortress 2, space station 13, garry's mod, old world of warcraft expansions, dark souls, etc.
    at the end of the day, the best way to motivate the developers to work further on the game and give you your damned life-changing updates would be to give them money.
    as for alex. he's in the discord server spamming images and videos of small animated girls at folks who do not want to see them.

    I'll repeat what I've told you in the discord:
    every day you can watch 30 ads for 2 tokens each, equaling to 60 tokens a day from ads alone.
    watch one ad on your phone, then watch the remaining 29 on your pc
    you need to restart the game every time you finish watching an ad on pc
    you can do this every day

    I'm pretty sure I know why it happens, and it likely has to do with switching servers.
    your best bet would be to just restart the game before you begin doing your attacks. that's what I've been doing ever since I last had it happen to me and since then it hasn't shown up.

    Stefix5000 got a reaction from Corvus in Power unit VS common, rare and another trash.   
    they're the best type of power kit actually, it's just upgrading a lvl 30 epic power kit to legendary isn't worth it, but if you get them at legendary from the beginning, it's absolutely worth it to max them
    yea, I upgrade my common kits with 5 level 1 common kits and 3 common items/4 rare items and 2 common items/19 common items
    then I upgrade my rare power kits with 3 level 10 common kits, a rare item and 3 common items/3 level 10 common kits and 8 common items/3 level 10 common kits, 2 level 1 common kits and 1 common item/2 level 10 common kits, 2 level 1 rare kits and 2 common items
    I only upgrade my common kits to rares if I run out of space and have no other kits to upgrade, same for rare kits to epics (if I'm desperate enough for free inventory slots)
