  1. there is something they can do, just no one wants to. they could run a script periodically to find them and put them on temp ban. they could, you know, maybe actually play the game once a month at that rank level using an alt so they can find them. they could listen to our reports about them. they could put in a rank 10 "wall" like we have at rank 5. tons of options. nothing is being done.
  2. If all good things must come to an end, then all things that aren't so good must also come to an end. I had to sit and think about this, and research it. When I did, I realized it was time to leave. No one plays a game forever anyways. So I am working on handing over control of Noble Warriors and Noble Padawans to others. None of my accounts have any unfair advantage, so it will not harm others. These are the answers to the 20 questions for me. I am not saying they should be how you think: everyone must answer them on their own. But for me, this is what I came up with. Is it a waste of time? It's increasingly feeling like one. Is it a waste of money? I would argue yes, based on the amount I've spent versus other games like Borderlands 2/3. Is it a low return on investment? It feels that way. Does it accomplish anything real world? No. Does it result in social isolation? Yes, as no one I know near me plays this game. Does it result in a skewed sense of reality? Not really. Does it detract from goals? For me, yes. I want to become better at other things in life. Is it a pleasure hijacker? For me, yes. The thrill is gone. Does it give me a false sense of completion? Yes. Does it result in the failure to resolve conflicts? No, I'm extroverted and I handle stuff. Does it result in procrastination? Yes. Does it give me irrational fears of social engagements? No. Does it interfere with my physical fitness? No, I can play it on the stationary bike. Does it result in laziness? Yes. Do I sense a lack of discovery? Yes, I've basically done everything in this game. Does it improve my relationships? No. Am I experiencing a renewed interest in other things? Yes, music and school and such. Has my intensity been redirected? Yes, I want to become better at musical stuff. Do I now have more lifelong goals than short term? Yes. Do I need more time to accomplish more things? Yes. So it's time for me to retire from SM. I will leave my website links active. I will still exist on discord. I will still be interested in any balance change discussions that come up. But I think it's time for me to spread my wings and fly.
  3. Higher, but not way high. Last I did research on this, usually it's only one rank above you, or the same rank as you.
  4. If you really want to do this, here's my advice. https://forum.supermechs.com/forum/ucp.php?mode=login&battlegate_bmm_sid=ef71188d681c893ae86a0ab04294861c Go here and log into your account. Then go somewhere on the internet and get a random password that you do not write down. Change your password to this and then change the email address to some random email address that doesn't exist. You have to go into the User Profile into account settings. Once you do this, it's gone because you can't recover it.
  5. Last time I did checking in WU, 40 rounds of dual frantic vs dual spartan, the dual spartan won only like 1-2 more rounds out of 40 than the frantic, and usually it was only because frantic brute ran out of shots and happened to run some low RNG. To me, if a weapon is truly premium (spartan) it should be at least 10% better than the alternative. The way to make spartan carnage truly premium is to nerf frantic brute properly. Hence I believe the change that needs to happen is the max damage of frantic brute needs to be reduced to 530. The previous "nerf" made frantic brute cost a lot of heat. If the max damage of frantic brute is reduced to 530 (from 618 which it is currently) then I would recommend undoing the last "nerf" by reducing the heat and energy cost of frantic brute to be equivalent to spartan carnage. Low and mid ranks is dominated by dual frantic brute mechs, which is why it was given the nickname "frantic cancer". If TactiSoft was intending to make frantic brute a "poor man's equalizer" to help F2P players, it failed because anyone can use it, and it was too overpowered. Reducing max damage to 530 (so the stats would read 246-530 damage) and reducing heat and energy cost should still result in a good weapon, just not overpowered.
  6. I'm opening this thread to ask if the clan war glitch has been fixed. It seems to happen only with A/B box levels. UPDATE: some of my members say they got the A box, some got the B (like myself). A previous report: So I'm basically confirming it is a bug. Today, 11/14/2022, my clan clearly won, yet we got the B box, even though it was advertising A box to the winner: This is a screenshot BEFORE we finished our attacks:
  7. Yeah I think we need a channel or post on here where we can post screenshots of smurfs who are ruining the game. I encountered like 5 of them yesterday just trying to get my five daily wins. However, I would love to help with this, but I would need the reassurance of the forum moderators that they aren't going to take the post down. They tend to do this with rants about how the game has issues.
  8. I agree, there should be more incentive to beat 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 in hard and insane. like, another reward box of power kits.
  9. Yup, the grinding is eternal. Very existential.
  10. Rates have already been improved. I nearly always get epics now. I agree they should not have common but getting all common in a fortune box is now almost impossible. Spend arena coins to upgrade your chances. Honestly most of the good items I've got over the years have been from fortune boxes. The rest from deals. I know it's frustrating, I really do. But this is a long-term grinding game. Just be patient, your luck will always change.
  11. All, We had recently put out the research in my clan on the Fortune Box (FB) rates per different campaign missions. At the time, we pointed out that your highest chances for getting a fortune boxes come from 3V3 Frozen Abyss (normal) and 1V1 Overlord's Den in normal and insane modes (all 12%). However, finally I've had time to run some other numbers for those who are looking for specific applications, using only missions that will drop FBs: FB Chances: If you want the highest odds of getting a FB in one tank of fuel, farm 3V3 Dry Lands, Insane. XP: If you want the max experience for your fuel, 2V2 Danger Zone, Insane. Building Quests: If you want the most buildings to destroy, like for the special quests, these 3 missions have the max buildings per tank of fuel: 2V2 Frozen Abyss Normal, 3V3 Silent Waters Normal, or 1V1 Frozen Abyss Normal. Enemies Quests: If you want the max number of enemies destroyed, for special quests, 1V1 Scavenger Pass Normal. Gold: If you simply want to maximize your gold farming, 2V2 Overlord's Den Insane. I would like to thank @Knae gae ear for the inspiration to run the numbers on this, as well as the many other people in my clan who helped me run the massive FB chance study.
  12. This doesn't help much. Where did you get them? Did they come from the random periodic ones? From missions? Which missions?
  13. I will not be showing every single build that can beat the campaign levels, as that would take forever. I am thinking my advice will revolve around: 1) The types of enemies you meet (i.e. huggers probably necessitate hammer/shotgun type builds to keep them away) 2) Their weaknesses (i.e. something generic like "weak to physical" or whatever, based on their stats) Because, like you said, campaigns can be done by anything, so there are likely many builds. But as you get into the more difficult 3v3 stuff, you can't just use any build. Indeed, I prefer to farm using all avatar boiler types, but those drop off in power after about 2v2 or 3v3 frozen abyss. And mine will be more like generic advice, i.e. build like this if you want to farm the mission, not specific. In this game, when you get specific, people pitch a fit and start arguing over specifics. As well, if I give specific builds that work, I may take away someone's entertainment in figuring out how to beat those levels. UPDATE: I am currently putting all the missions in the proper order, left to right. You may want to click refresh the next couple times you surf to the link I provided. UPDATE: Ok, mini-maps added and the whole thing should be more or less in the order of the missions from left to right. Enjoy!
