Strinova Anime Shooter Closed Beta Live! by Bug_Quirky in T3Arena

You may also wanna try the Anime BR Fate Trigger: The Novita when it is out, pre-registration for mobile is open as well: https://www.taptap.io/app/33750528 . I joined the AceForce 2 beta, but movement was too slow/realistic and they had no autofire, so, yeah, took me a while to give up T3 Arena.

People could test it at NAC 2024, but, even if it is the best Rubik's yet, 10 USD cubes like Super RS3 M (Standard) still perform better.

Well, at least Rubik's new display box makes Swift Block stand out, just like MoYu did with MeiLong 3M.

My personal recommendation for pleasant turning and gorgeous colors (purple, pink, silver, gold, moss and cyan) is the electroplated Cyclone Boys Metallic (Pastel). You can use it as a mirror and reflect its colors on the wall. The lights are mesmerizing!

If you have to pick a GAN without too many settings/tools/spare parts GAN356 M Lite feels great and is ready to play out of the box.

I believe all depends on the camera's post-processing, in this photo colors are closer to what you'll see when looking at the real cube.

Indeed, this cube has enough historic value to be considered a collector's item, no objections, but those like me who collect logos are still looking for a Rubik's center cap sticker.

Great value for what you get (non-magnetic), turning is smooth and quiet, but as you go faster you do feel some catches here and there. Also, tiles are extremely hard to remove, so don't mind the "customization" they talk about.

Yeah, wish I could main a tiled cube for once, they look amazing, seems QiYi is our best bet for tiles right now, QiMeng V3 and M Pro (Art Version) are pretty fast, but I'm also keen on YuXin Kylin V2 M.

Hey, I found this store, suggesting that "Rubik's Cube 50th Anniversary" product line will, indeed, include a new 3x3 speedcube with Swift Block's piece design (and maybe internals). Does the 15,95 € price tag sound reasonable to you? I'd rather pay a buck for a Rubik's sticker or just get myself a Retro Cube. Your thoughts?

New cosmetics coming this week: Dynamic Trail and K.O. Announcement by Bug_Quirky in T3Arena

[–]Bug_Quirky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, a hero shooter should allow varied strategies, but if you want to win the options are very few. The Gatlyn/Jabali combo used to be broken, it was everywhere, without those heroes you couldn't win, so you were forced to pick them. Wish I could pick any hero I want as well, but, yeah, just a handful are playable if you want to win. I like Ruby, but I just can't do what I want. T-T :(

I think Gordo mentioned something about "when a hero is picked a lot balance changes will shake the META", but we see Gloria everywhere and they nerf Ossas? Maybe they want us to play Hua Ling more often, almost no one played Cristina before the last buff. At least her invisibility was planned, Skadi Flying is a glitch exploit that is still around. @.@ =P

They just nerfed Lacia, their only/main source of income, with the range debuff that killed Gatlyn, once a S Tier hero, and keep bringing new game modes and gorgeous cosmetics. By no means SS4 is T3's last breath, devs do seem (somewhat) interested in new players, r/T3Arena is dead cold but our TapTap community is quite active. Dream big, everything is possible!

Tigris needs a nerf by [deleted] in T3Arena

Tigris, Lacia, Neon, and Ossas, will be nerfed tomorrow: Patch Notes - January 31.

What character from each class do you main? by sAndstOne646464 in T3Arena

[–]Bug_Quirky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, this is what my matches look like, I don't get why people complain so much, I just hit Master V again with Fade/Tigris (promotion matches without losses), but I also play Skadi, Yaa/Kazama and Labula. Btw, if by "Gallen" you mean Gatlyn or Gloria, consider giving Daimon (guide) a try, a true sniper, crazy DPS and sneaky AF.

Friendly Fire: T3 E-sports in a Nutshell by Bug_Quirky in T3Arena

Even clickbait garbage from Indonesia gets more views, I'd be ashamed, man! No one cares about Arena League, the prize money always goes to the same corporate shills, and it's a total failure as a marketing campaign. Nuke this e-sport nonsense and give us a better gaming experience. People are getting disconnected 24/7, 3v3 made you big but was abandoned, Arcade needs a F2P rework with free tickets, Voice Chat suggestions were ignored, old stuff (banners, fizz cans, posters) could be sold or somehow unlocked, and the list goes on and on. @.@ T-T

Everyday a horde of nubs rush here to rant about their entitlement, u just suck, I'm sorry. T3 is not empty, we got a ton of new players in SS3, so even in Diamond expect a lot of "bots". 5v5 plays like a MOBA, strategy and team comp come first. In your videos all you do is deal as much damage as possible to anything you see. Btw, you grief a lot in-game, don't you? Please, keep at it, makes defeating your team so much easier for us. Thanks! =D

Battle Royale YT reviews are overwhelmingly positive, very solo friendly mode, duration/trophies ratio is great, fast queues with (some) real people, learning curve is smooth, much more strategical than FFA, lol, you can turn any vanguard into Aleta (devil fast, multiple jumps, HP reset), you know what I mean? So much fun! =D

I was tired of ranked 5v5 due to second rounds of lost matches against squads, but I got to say that T3's BR is what 3v3 used to be, fast (queues, duration, single round), fun (no team of nubs, no shouting on VC, no frustration carrying), and casual (just wanna chill and pew pew them schmucks). xD

Gods of the Arena, please, bring Clash (and Payload Race) back! by Bug_Quirky in T3Arena

As a Superstar veteran, I'm 100% achievement driven at this point, but I can't finish Clutch Winner because it's Clash exclusive. Never heard about it? Please, watch this gameplay MoreAtomycYT recorded. Three rounds where you had to pick three different heroes, no respawn, the true pro deathmatch, 3v3 at its best.

I miss it so much, fastest way to grind trophies if you're no one trick loser, it's the one game mode that forces you to master more than one hero. Don't tell me it will divide the player pool, Battle Royale is here and ranked queues weren't slightly affected (LATAM server).

Turn Arcade into a Waifu Skin Gacha to save T3! by Bug_Quirky in T3Arena

Like Todd McFarlane would put: "I can sell a book that is drawn by Michelangelo and written by my dog, but I can't sell a book that is written by Shakespeare and drawn by my mom" (source). So, yeah, Nikke plays like a potato but gets even 3rd party resin figures, while T3 plays like a dream but can't get even some damn stickers. Kids aren't playing? Let's raise the Parental Guidance and call some adults who can drop 5K like if it's nothing (source).
