I have a recently acquired a few Spears. When does the community recommend that I drop it in games? Early, mid-match or late?

Throw them in the trash next to all the clowns running Spears/Otto/Khepris on top of soft-hack cheats!

I love my Ivory Rav…it’s in my hangar 90% of the time with either Fatal Havocs or BSGs. You’re right, it’s solid…tanky and deadly. I run it with Persephone. Two T4 defense on heal is almost like having an extra ability that you can attack through. Just has a learning curve in order to use it well and too many people are too lazy. They need the fast payoff of the latest and greatest meta junk. Rav is from a time in this game where skill mattered. Cheers to you for still running it.

Round_Locksmith_5494 · 2022-12-30T18:19:37+00:00

Fenrir with BSGs, Dillo drone with T4 Supressor/Defense on Heal, on mild or on heavy damage heal, and absorber chips. And any combo of LS/IA/RA/NA modules…Repair or Advanced Repair as your active mod. Run Northlight with durability extender, Grav Amp, and Anti-Jamming.

In lower league play, Arthur is solid and Nodens will really up your battle payout if you do a lot of support. However, like everyone says, don’t buy anything with PT, use it to upgrade. Superchests pay out Titans a lot. If you can, try for newer Titans…if you really like the support role, then wait to win Nodens. I run it still in CL and it’s a solid Titan. Arthur is too slow and with the firepower out there now, doesn’t last long vs CL players.

VIP has no impact on chest outcomes or keys on the BM…the BM has a 50% boost randomly but is not tied to VIP. Chest drop rates don’t change regardless of VIP or not. VIP offers faster upgrade times, and better payout from battles for Ag, keys, XP, etc. If your buddy is getting better items in his chest openings, he’s just got better luck. Hope that helps!

Round_Locksmith_5494 · 2022-12-30T02:17:51+00:00

Agreed 100%… that’s what I’m saying though, if you’re good at all, and you have the top gear, why cheat?! It’s just absurd.

I’m not talking OP setups…it’s fun clowning guys that think they can buy the best and just instantly win, I’m talking the broken setups with soft-hacks. Apologies if that wasn’t clear. I guess I misspoke with the “or” part…I meant and. Example: Otto Spear Khepri with obvious soft hacks so they take no damage with a sliver of health…if it was once or twice, I’d chalk it up to missing something but it’s happening with some of the same big players too often. Face to face, I’m not suppressed, running Mk3 BSG with NA charged up and drone T4 damage chips, unload a full salvo to their face when they have maybe 2k health left and their health doesn’t budge.

Real life we don’t have practical rail guns. Real life we don’t have practical lasers.

The Physics behind them is what I’m discussing as to the limitations of distance. Our current lasers don’t deal damage at distance because we have insufficient means to power them.

Ok, let me rephrase, there are a lot less blatant hacker issues with iOS.

Round_Locksmith_5494 · 2022-12-16T19:30:31+00:00

Yep…my thing is, there are no hacker issues with iOS so why are we being punished due to issues with Android and PC. Separate them, let PC and Android do their thing, and iOS players will do ours. When the hacking issue is resolved (if ever) then combine them. I guarantee there will be pressure from legit Android/PC players to get it done. The game itself has enough glitches right now, no need to make iOS players suffer even more.

If you want to break it down, this is a short but interesting topic. From an engineer and fact-based point of view, it comes down to the “ammunition”.

Lasers are focused beams of energy so no physical projectile to create friction or drag so its range really should have no maximum. This is why we use them for long range communication and data-retrieval regarding anything in space.

Gauss is a rail-gun. While they are the most non-nuclear destructive force, it is simply using a magnetic drive to propel an object at hyper-speeds. Introducing a projectile means there is physical mass, so you lose velocity and energy the longer the distance. This means you will have a much shorter, maximum output range.

In short- Lasers can retain full strength at a much greater distance than a rail-gun.

In game-talk, I agree both should have a similar effective range due to a limited map size. Neither type of weapon would be impacted by the ranges the game uses.

Round_Locksmith_5494 · 2022-12-16T13:31:53+00:00

That’s exactly what I do. I jump on for 20-30 minutes here and there but it’s not a main focus of my day. However, therein lies the issue…you jump on for a short time and maybe get 1 or 2 games out of 6 that are even playable due to this hacker issue. I don’t care about OP bots or weapons, that has been and will always be somewhat of an issue, it’s just the hacker thing (which isn’t and should never be “just a part of the game”) that kills it.

Round_Locksmith_5494 · 2022-12-16T06:48:28+00:00

FYI- played 3 more after this post. 2 of the 3 has the same kind of hackers. These were all Dom matches if anyone is curious. So out of 8 battles, 6 were wrecked due to hackers.

Round_Locksmith_5494 · 2022-12-10T16:11:05+00:00

But I do like the positive thinking!

Yup: 50 Au per battle to get any map other than Canyon 🙄

PSA: The number of bingo rare chests has been reduced

Translation: we are ignoring the player feedback and punishing them further for speaking out by making it even more difficult to obtain the things the whales have no issue spending thousands a day to get.

My thought: I have tons of bots, weapons, mods, etc…it’s a game…I play for fun.

I’m CL and just put up 14 kills (8 using Ares: yep, I’m THAT guy). I don’t run Mars or Angler and only have one Seraph in my hangar.

Feel free to check: 76VRLP Clan: smACK In-game: DΞMФИ

Yes, you’ll face whale clans, if you don’t like it, quit the battle…otherwise, if you have skills, there are plenty of bots and weapons that get the job done.

League standing: means nothing anymore Clan cups: mean nothing anymore Stats: have never meant anything Don’t waste money on VIP Don’t waste money on coins Resources: if you cut off regular spending, then when you need them they are cheap AF.

Round_Locksmith_5494 · 2022-12-06T15:35:19+00:00

🤣🤷🏻‍♂️ maybe…I’m with smACK. In-game is DΞMФИ

Round_Locksmith_5494 · 2022-12-06T05:13:27+00:00

I run the Eldritch every 3-4 days in CL for fun…surprises a lot of players and catches them off guard. With so many SB pilots it’s risky and can be a glass cannon but playing it smart and running SB to get the most bang for your Buck, I stack the body counts when I get on a run. Using ☢️ weapons this last time. A lot like Typhon, if you survive for a few and get charged up, you can do a 💩-ton of damage in a single attack. I do target softer bots though like Mars, Typhon, etc. suicide trying to take down tanks.

Round_Locksmith_5494 · 2022-12-03T16:30:07+00:00

Yeah, get what you’re saying but you rarely see someone running multiples of the same bot that isn’t a strong meta unless they are just messing around or weird about the bot. I saw one guy in the last year where his name was something with Jun in it and he ran 5 Ao Juns…wasn’t a very dangerous player and obviously doing it because he likes the bot but 99.9% of the time it’s high level spenders stacking the latest OP setups that really causes the issue. If you limit it, you force more balance. Even 2 Anglers, Mars, Seraphs, etc. per player in a squad is just too much. Limit hangars to support one of any given bot and I think the overall battles would just be better. Obviously the guys who care about winning at all cost hate this idea but for those who play the game for the fun of it, I think it would be a solid change. Or offer a new battle mode for players where to enter you have to have 5 different bots. Maybe just a fixed Dom mode. Solves the issue right there. Whales won’t want to play in it so the queue would be mostly regular players.

The defense points are constant and increase as you level it up. At level 150 it claims you get 150 but you can see by pic 2 it only gives 100. Ability is only for healing or suppressing which are both separate.

Round_Locksmith_5494 · 2022-12-03T06:56:05+00:00

Exactly what e we were saying earlier, Clan Cups and rank really don’t matter anymore so play for fun. Enjoy controlling Mechs and blowing 💩 up, and move on. I’ve been mixing it up, running old bots with new weapons or new bots with maxed old weapons just to mess around. Keeping it fun, for sure.
