I still see him around.
It took me 2 months on a brand new account to get the base to level 15 HQ and gold mines and then only one factory at level 15.  Now I have power kits.  Now I'm maxing my mechs out.  With all due respect, this krap isn't hard.
If you see a newbie struggling, point them to the forum and/or discord so we can help them.

Hello everyone! I just moved over to Noble Warriors 2, to help lead the clan. I am R5-3 and we have people at the lowest rank! 
 
Noble Warriors 2 is a friendly, informative, low pressure environment. If this is what you are looking for we have room for you!

Yes, I'm not going to lie, I've had my butt handed to me in the arena in 1v1 testing my builds by newbies with builds that seemed unorthodox.  That's why I don't make rank a requirement for my clan.

Show me your survey of players who have left.  Please include at least 40 players.
Prove it.
Sounds like a whole bunch of things Alex is currently doing..........
Sure, nothing, like fixing energy, adding new items (you just haven't seen them yet), making the base way more cost-effective, increasing drop rates, running events, fixing one of the major security problems, banning cheaters.................
I'm starting to think there are people out there who would bite the hand that feeds them even as they are being fed.

Wait for it ............   Wait for it .............
But yet you're still playing a "dead" game?  Who's in denial now? 🙂 
If it's dead, why are you still playing it?
Are you saying there's nothing anyone can do to keep it alive?  Or are you saying you don't feel like doing anything to keep it alive?
And why, if SM is dead like you assume (which I don't agree with), is complaining the way to keep it alive?
And just for the sake of argument, if SM isn't dead (which I believe), is complaining that SM is "dead" going to keep it alive?  Or is it more likely that you complaining that SM is "dead" is going to make people stop playing?
Because I feel like everyone's arguments on here about SM being dead are not only untrue, but that these comments are in fact what's "killing" SM.
But here's another question: if SM is "dying", which I disagree with, what are you doing to keep it alive?  From my perspective, it appears you're not helping.

Hey, to be honest, this game is doing pretty great for something that used to be a FLASH based game.
 
Yes, I would love to see new content .. if I had a clue as to the language the game was currently programmed in, I might have a chance to know where to begin..  but, I’m guessing that the one dude(gender nonspecific dude) who is trying to keep this game going is likely dealing with the equivalent of millions of lines of spaghetti logic that has been poorly documented, and the original code was never designed to last as long as the game has.
 
I’ve noticed that recently there have been several 2000+ ‘coin’ purchase bonuses being put out.  The money that this generates, minus the fees that the store charges for the transaction, most likely go for things that that lone programmer needs..  such as FOOD, Internet, Electricity, RENT, and other things .. including making sure their computer keeps functioning..
 
I would love it if this game were a bit more random, perhaps adding a garage where you can do more than simply level up the pieces of the Mechs.  But, that would require a programmer dedicated to that facet, in addition to the one trying to upgrade and keep the game running.
 
I will likely keep casually playing the game, doing at least the daily quests, like I have since at least 2017 ....

Pads are fine.they musnt be removed.if they are removed no one will be able to beat clever name

True, which further proves the point of why pads are balanced and shouldn't be removed.

Good thing it's up to Alex and not you.  Making it only rank 1-2 means his team would not have diverse opinions.
But seeing that I made rank 3 with 3 stars this week, I don't think it's that important that I be rank 1-2.
What you don't notice, because you're not on the team, is that I'm willing to learn, and that I never assume I know everything about the game.
But from my perspective (had to make sure you see that before you reply), frantic brute is still powerful enough that it can ruin everyone's day, except those in rank 1-2, who are probably in rank 1-2 because they have 3 x fortresses and platinums, etc.  But hey, I could be wrong.
If dual divine frantic can end anyone in 2 turns except people in rank 1-2, and it's not even a premium, in my opinion it's overpowered.
But that's another beautiful thing about the balance team.  We don't have to agree.  We have different perspectives.  Diversity is strength.  But I listen to the rank 1-2's when they talk, and I value their knowledge.
But I can also go on WU and test it for myself.  In WU, the only thing that usually beats dual frantic + claw builds is a build from CleverName's meta listing.  Sure, it's "just WU," but still, I think it's worth pointing out.

Yep, and I've lost to a pad hugger (healing pad).  I've just found that some of my builds have an easier time knocking them off the pad than others.  But if they consistently waste a turn to jump on the healing pad, they usually end up killing themselves.  Which is why I usually don't use turns to move unless i have to.

First of all, you start off with a logical fallacy of alleged certainty, i.e. "we all know."  Not trying to be rude, but I just don't support that statement because no, we don't all know.  Maybe if you had asked it as a question, i.e. not presuming to know what everyone thinks and feels, I would be more supportive.  But it would also have been nice to put a poll on it.  Not trying to discourage you from using the forum, but I can't agree: we don't all "know," and we don't all agree.  (And even then, scientifically speaking, humans are random too, so there's always going to be that person who don't agree, that outlier, etc.)
So you don't like pads?  I don't either, but to be honest, it helps spice up the game.  Because some battles in the arena, without pads, would just be two mechs firing spartans or frantics at each other.  All weapons, no strategy, no skill.  So I think we should keep the pads.  (And yes, I'm saying it: I feel like dual frantic/spartan builds tend to be all weapons and no skill.)
You also seem to want the weapons to have less of a wide range of damage.  I understand how you'd want that, and I'm not saying you're wrong.  But this also supports spicing up the game and skill.  I still think the Frantic Brute should get nerfed (again) but otherwise the range of damage is more real life.  So I think the RNG-based nature of weapons is fine in this game already (except Frantic Brute, which I think needs to be nerfed).
I appreciate your opinion.  My opinion is different than yours, though.

Yes, I'm not going to lie, I've had my butt handed to me in the arena in 1v1 testing my builds by newbies with builds that seemed unorthodox.  That's why I don't make rank a requirement for my clan.

Are you sure it's the forum's fault?
Is it possible that instead people simply aren't super enthralled by your ideas or replies?
Do you need likes?
Are you possibly addicted to likes?
Do you feel like lack of likes says something negative about you?

Just to let you and everyone else know, the awesome thing about Noble Warriors 1/2 is that there is no rank requirement!
We help new people grow! 🙂 
We also give top ranked players ways to help new players.
Or you can just be a part of the clan.  No one is forced to help newbies, but it's a lot of fun! 🙂 

It was "nerfed" but that only made it less random.  It still does more average damage than Spartan Carnage (a premium).
I suggest it be nerfed.  Please put a balance change request in to have it nerfed, and please follow the format, to include adding a poll.

I said damage, not shots.  And it won't matter because normally they kill you in 2 turns because of the ton of damage they usually do.
And Brute is technically an epic weapon.  The strategy is still "fire your frantics."  And the way to counter them is still to stay out of frantic range.  Boilers don't work as well because most are 3-6 range, so you get shredded before you overheat them, even with a heat bomb (upper ranks).  The way to counter dual frantic is to have more resistance and hit points, and hopefully stay out of range if you can.
I'm not anti-frantic.  My physical mech on my alt has one.  But I still feel it's too much damage for an item that isn't premium.  Sure, I'd rather have spartan carnage, but I don't have one yet.
But now, after the nerf, since average damage didn't change but the range of damage did, it's more guaranteed that a frantic will do that higher average damage than spartan carnage does.  The nerf wasn't really a nerf, hardly.  But oh well, feel free to disagree with me.

That is for sure man! I hope the game keeps bringing in more good players!

just try them at lower rank with lower mech from your arsenal and they will give you a lesson or two how to play. 🤣 Lots of new talent there really smart. 

Heck, many times I learn from those who are a lower rank than I!

I'm not going to speculate on which clan is best for them.  I'm going to let them decide.  It's all good 🙂

Actually, it kinda got buffed in the way that is now does more min damage, and when you get good heat then it's heat cost isn't even that bad. 

First time full stars. Personal best. Had more AP in the past but never full stars.
Danged. 😎
