Testing Premier Pro frame interpolation. Will try again with at least double the output fps to see if it'll make SM look any better.
 
 

I don't think auto-clicking is some sort of ban-able offense.  It's not being used to cheat or have any advantage, just to enable the player's laziness 🙂  
1) This isn't better rewards.  This is automating the same krap you'd be doing.  It's just automated laziness.
2) It's not abusing a bug.  There's no bug here.
3) It's usually a good idea to understand what's being discussed before you begin discussing it.
Good thing I clicked "show this post" so I could defend the person who posted this from being unfairly accused of hacking or exploiting a bug.  It's like you can't block people on this forum because if you do, they will continue to poison other people.
I know what you're saying.  Ignore the people who are accusing you of hacking or whatever, because it's clear they don't understand the subject.

Something similar happens on the high ranks. There are also people who appeared overnight with everything divinized and with a stock of relics enough to divinize a few more mechs. But they have explained that they are not hackers, but that are private agreements that they made with the previous administration (agreements that the current administration does not make, but that it maintains in force).
That is how this game works. Nothing new under the Sun.
An old hag's advice, take it or leave it: if you're looking for fun, stay on the low ranks, because on the high ranks the grime is worse.

I've noticed that Hybrid Energy Cannon is way too heavy.  If one looks at the equivalent weapons in heat, it's far heavier, but for no apparent reason.  Please remedy some of the discrepancy between heat and energy (with energy being weak) by reducing the weight of Hybrid Energy Cannon to 50.  (There might be a separate thread for Hot Flash and Malice Beam).  Please read below for further discussion.

Long story: some of the stats for the energy weapons are higher, true, but this is because energy functions differently than heat, and it's necessary to give energy weapons approximately an extra 10-20% to make them as powerful in the game.
I know energy and heat function differently, but just hear me out.
I can't make the same mech as the META boiler (see the META thread) because I end up going overweight.  For example:
META BOILER:
 

MY COPY OF IT:

I know that it's not 100% fair to use this as an example, and it's not 100% logical.  I'm also rank 9, so I may be wrong.  But I feel that this is why we don't see these energy weapons in the META very often.  I feel like this is why the META uses valiant sniper, grim cobra, bright roar, UPC, and such: currently they may be the only decent energy weapons.
And I think that reducing the weight of these energy weapons above would change that.

Can't argue with that.

Hmm, I will say that the majority of my start position it is in favor of my opponent that include if I start to shoot or second. Anyway, I have the 65% average to lose due to pads but still ok to make game more interesting. What it is more annoying it is not the pad and the scope since I use scope or not scope mechs instead the position to start and against with whom you play in a vicious cycle with same players due to AI matching against same player or group of players regardless the hour when there are more players around. 

Can't argue with that.

I disagree as you can balance them both especially as the new modules make that easier.
 

I completely agree. Sometimes it turns into "king/Queen of the pad" and makes it fun.

And I've won plenty of matches where someone thought getting back on the pad was a god use of their move.  Nearly always, it's not beneficial to waste a turn to stay on a healing pad.  In fact, in heat vs heat battles, I've stopped trying to knock the person off the pad and just kept pouring on the heat.  The only difference it made, because their cooling was garbage, was that it took me longer to destroy their mech.  It didn't stop me.
And there have been times where it's been more efficient to stay on a negative resistance pad than try to jump off.  Usually, again, heat vs heat, because I put them in a shutdown loop.
But hey, if people vote in favor of removing them, we'll see what Alex does.  I voted "no", i.e. I don't think they "need to" be removed.  But if they get removed, I don't care.  I'm not trying to stand in the way of getting rid of the pads, I just don't see them being a huge issue to me personally. 
I think they were a TactiSoft thing, sure.  But I think they add some spice to the game because otherwise it's mostly just who gets the best RNG and who has the best mechs/builds.  Pads add a tiny bit of strategy, but I don't think they break the game, either.

Trading would lend itself to all kinds of abuse by stronger or more experienced players towards the weaker ones. Imagine that account theft by scam is already a problem ... what it would be if there were trading! Players with less experience or easier to convince would literally be stripped of good items.
In any case, as attractive as a Unicorn portal is, I don't think the current administration is willing to be so generous. We would all like it, but it sounds a bit utopian.
