I don't think it is what happens, its just randomness in my opinion

It could be a thing where you can go in once a day

If it's ok with everyone, I'd actually like this to be the 4th option in the campaign menu selection (i.e. 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, Survival).  It would be one map, one mission that looks futuristic (think in various anime where they stumble upon an ancient super-advanced civilization) and that one mission is the survival mode.  I'd rather not add a button to the main menu, as that seems almost full of buttons already.  I'd also rather not make it an event, but more like its own thing.  I'd say it could be a button next to the RAID button, but honestly I think there are too many buttons, so that's why I'm thinking campaign menu.
Or it could be one of the modes in the RAID (if RAID had a menu like Campaign).
But if there's no other way than to make it one of the portals, I don't mind.

I have an idea for a new mode of play in this game that would require a complete change of tactics and build.
So far, arena favors mass damage because you have one chance to beat your enemy.
RAID favors single use heat bombs to be able to overpower your enemies.
Campaigns, as they are now, favor resistance and limited use items because you get your uses back with each enemy.
What about survival mode?
Basically this mode would be like a campaign mission but it would be one mech on a 3x3 square.
When you beat the first mech (think 1v1 first mission on normal), it immediately spawns another in-game.
The enemies get harder as you go.
Your rewards are based off of how many waves of enemies you successfully kill.
This would be different because mechs with limited use items would die quickly once they run out of shots.
It might even be best for F2Ps because lots of non-premium items are unlimited use.
It would require a different kind of mech build than the arena or raid.
So say I defeat 10 enemies, my rewards are based off that.  One can play survival mode once a day.
This would provide another source of game reward.  You wouldn't be competing against other people, really, but against yourself, seeing how many waves you can beat.
With this also comes the "best survival mode score of the week" where the player with the highest number of waves that week would get honorable mention and a specific reward.
What do you think?

Well, technically 35 (i.e. your daily 5 wins) .... 🙂

bro everyone in there should be recruiting

Epic speedster and Master Chief beat me to it! So I will second their notion that the Noble Warriors is a great clan!

Yeah I'm testing that config.  Since that fight I myth'd the other D.A.D. and upgraded the Sacrifice Cannon to legendary.

yep also . the sm discord is the best

depends on the difficulty
 
1-4 star ones can be perma-shutdown with correct play
5+ is basically yoloing with dps

You missed this deal recently.  In my opinion, this is your answer.  Maybe you just missed this offer.  This was basically offering premium packs at 133 tokens each: more than half off.

Given the original poster's general attitude towards Alex and Gato Games, I doubt he will.
CleverName once said something about that on discord, such that the usual rate was roughly one legendary per premium pack (i.e. the other 4 are epic).  But you know how statistics work 😉

I just keep score of my own drop rates. even if they publish drop rates you will not experience that exact percentage because you are not buying every single premium box/pack sold in the game. 
 
the real world results will be some people experiencing higher and lower rates that averages to the total rate.
 
In short, write down your own buys and legendary drops to get a notionally accurate rate. Besides how would you validate a rate Gato told you without your own data set?
 

But the point was this person was basically krapping on Alex in discord.  First, I don't think Alex owes us drop rates.  But second, even if not, the overall complaint from this user was that Alex doesn't keep his promises, and so I provided evidence (that deal) that Alex does.  So please forgive the drama, and if you want, you can delete this reply if you want (admins).

time for level 250 rush

Seems pretty fair to me when the only thing you need to do to get out of 'low ranks' is to max your items and arena stats. The former of which can be done at one item per week once you find OD6 insane. The ladder takes a year, at least for the relevant arena buff categories. 

Point being that it won't affect low ranks, because the players who max their items won't be low ranked much longer. That's how the progression system works... 😅

Might as well make it the same as VR, otherwise it would have to look different.  Especially the regen dmg.  Double "ice Dagger" would absolutely destroy literally anyone, worse than a boiler mech

But you're not comparing them equally.  Valiant Sniper doesn't do very much regen damage at all.

(Arena buffs are off).  As you can see, Valiant Sniper is much more about doing energy damage.  (I'm only temporarily calling it Ice Dagger: we can change the name, I don't mind.)
Clearly Ice Dagger is more about regen damage and resistance, just like Vandal.  For example:

I have both of these weapons on my heat boiler mech right now.  Vandal isn't about doing tons of heat damage, and it's only one shot.  Its job is sort of like a resistance drainer to armor, but instead it "tenderizes" my enemy by reducing their cooling.
That's what my proposal is for: a weapon that is one shot that "tenderizes" your enemy by reducing their regen.
You wouldn't want to go into battle with two Ice Daggers any more than you would want to go into battle with two Vandal Rages, at least in my opinion.
That's why Vandal + Savagery is a thing.
That's why the META boiler has a Vandal Rage, but only one of them.
That's why I think Ice Dagger would be a good idea.
Feel free to disagree with me, but I need to ask: have you even attempted to test this?
If not, feel free to hit me up on the official discord, I can send you the WU config so you can play with it.

I am being told there is already a sprite for an energy version of Vandal Rage, so I propose this new item.  This was Stefix5000's idea from the discord.....
Possible names: Rogue Anger, Ice Dagger, Electric Fence (lol), Electric Blue (tribute to The Cranberries), Proton Ax (tribute to Wasteland DOS game), Proton Knife, etc.  Reply if you have a better idea for a name.
EDIT: due to "VR" being stamped on the side, probably Valiant Rancor should be the name, or something that has the initials V.R.
My proposed stats:
Weight: 41 kg
Electric Damage: 161-211
Energy Damage (drain): 50
Regen Damage: 80 or 90
Energy Resistance Drain: 22
Range: 4-5
Pushback: 1
Uses: 1
Energy cost: 25

Clevername, thank you for the consideration and reply. Just got lucky to get one of the meta items in an offer today 🙂.  So in a premium box, based on your large sample size, L = 20%, E = 80%.  Here's my next question -- let's say there is a "hot" offer next to a premium box which happens every now and again with an increased drop rate for an item.  Do you know what the drop rate is for that item?  Is it still L = 20% and E = 80%, but the new item is 50% if you get an L?  Hoping your large sample size can shed light on the percentages.

Like I said, the sprite already exists.  Thanks, @Raul for your help today!
     This config fought the META boiler config (see that thread) and was able to survive thanks to the energy Vandal Rage (I'm calling it Ice Dagger temporarily).  I would strongly recommend this new item get introduced to help level the playing field for energy. 

 

Yes, and I said so, because I wanted to start there.  I'm rank 9 and wanted input of higher ranked players so that I could see if the proposal was good or not.  So you're just basically repeating what I said in the first post.
But so far one of my testers said we need to raise regen damage to 90.  I'll attempt to test this later.
