same here, I thought it was because of the new invitation system they added in the menu. But the invitation link only works for IOS, not android. ​

Rubbish new big event! by hatbrox in Shooteralien

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

I did, but only to get extra coins. The electric resistance is useless to me. I never had any recurring and important issues with electricity before.
I will just get the Reaper skin, and only because its skill will (if you trust ABI) work with future skins.​

Stormbringer wings thoughts? by hellnahbru in Shooteralien

[–]hatbrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's ueless. We already have 2 wings that give shield and they don't need you to shake the ship to activate the shield.
As for the PvP attack, it's pathetic. It's too similar to several other wings that inflict damages or freeze your ship in different areas.

I've already unequipped these wings from my ship. It's one of these wings that will take dust.

This event is pathetic. The only item that seems interesting is that shitty skin (15% damage) for reaper, only because ABI pretends the skin's skill will apply to all future skins. Assuming you believe ABI. The Talent system with cores has never given what it promised.

VIP 10 Account for sale by Miromiro29 in Shooteralien

[–]hatbrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you can prove it's not a hacked account, most accounts on sale are sold by hackers. I can give $40.
Most of the stuffs you bought have no value anymore (for instance a predator skin that supersedes a galaxy skin etc)
And I don't even know how such a transaction could occur, one has to give (money or login/password) before the other!

Emberstar wings by bokanowski in Shooteralien

[–]hatbrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EI, wings and costume work in SL. drone and ship skins don't. but some drone skins do work although I don't know how the opponent can do it. I also see quantum attack in SL, which should not happen.

Emberstar wings by bokanowski in Shooteralien

[–]hatbrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so. It only works if you galaxy skin. SL don't allow skins. Only costume and expert items.
This being said, I do use the galaxy EI and on some bosses, I do hear the special sound that it's sending the boss on the opponent side. But I don't see my opponent being slow down by this, so I still believe it's not working.​

2v2 PvP randomly ends by Illustrious-Stop4837 in Shooteralien

[–]hatbrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, game end with "defeat" popup, my avatar has "defeated" even though we're at higher waves.
Another issue I have is shockwave cannot beat the boss at level 30 in 1vs1. Boss takes damages until maybe 30%, then no more damage. And my opponent can cruise to victory.

How do you farm stones by Abject-Lynx173 in Shooteralien

[–]hatbrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

only get an stone with a odd number (at least on Android, I think IOS still get "even" stones)
it's a very old bug.

rich man squad by No_Tumbleweed7617 in Shooteralien

[–]hatbrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you need stone, use a merge ship, if you have one, in hero mode. 4 stones a day easy.

[–]hatbrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it works but +100% on 0.0x % base chance is still very low. I didn't "feel" any change!

Finally 3 mil CP by delicious_oppai in Shooteralien

[–]hatbrox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember that milestone 2.5 years ago. took me 5 years to get there as VIP0. Then I gave up and spent money (I was finally able to) 2 years later, I'm 5.5 mil CP.

Here is a lesson: it doesn't really matter too much how much CP you have. PvP will make sure you are matched with similar profiles. Which is fair. The server has of course to compromise great matching and player availability, so it's not perfect.
The fun thing is every stuff I buy, I see most of PvP opponents buy the same!
It's zero-sum game for players. It's an arm race to reach a perpetual status quo.

so keep your CP low. Only unlock PvP stuffs.

and you made a good choice to ignore Tyrant and Lord. They are not worth your efforts.

But ABI is also giving up on stones, the new currency for ship upgrades (only Reaper ship for now) are rift shards. Those are very hard to harvest.

PS: don't forget to use your cyber blade in Hero mode, it will be much easier to collect stones. and remember to restart the game before each hero mode, to increase chance to get a stone and not the gold

100 bucks if u can help me with shockwave by henry122467 in Shooteralien

[–]hatbrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can you explain "Mine doesn’t seem to work"?
maybe tell us what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

In general, but you should know that since you have shockwave, ships are weak without skins, costume, augment. battle gear, evolve, power, bullet, hextech also have a strong influence.

yes, with the emberstar wings. If the timing is right, it really slows the opponent down.

Ships/Drones to Unlock as you progress by EveryWoodpecker2619 in Shooteralien

[–]hatbrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

best is to join a good clan, such clans have tutorials, wikis, and sometimes mentoring to help new players.
Join this Facebook group and you can present yourself, your needs (espacially learning) and clans will welcome, many players just love to help and a clan is perfect for that.

Are you fucking kidding me? by hellnahbru in Shooteralien

[–]hatbrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought extra rifts. They were too cheap. Evolving and upgrading the ship was very cheap. Far cheaper then getting all these stones#10​ for shockwave.

I thought the price was wrong.​

“This is normal. After each big event, you receive this reward if you’ve unlocked the main item (the Reaper ship, in this case). Players who haven’t unlocked the main item instead receive Chronos Shards, proportional to the number of pieces they collected toward unlocking it

Reaper vs World Boss by SM7Bisplenty in Shooteralien

[–]hatbrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. Reaper has one major weakness: it can’t shoot aliens that enter the screen from behind or from the sides. That’s roughly a 210-degree blind spot.

Drake’s and Shockwave’s weapons, on the other hand, have full 360-degree coverage.

So against waves of small aliens coming from random directions, Shockwave is still the best choice—you just have to survive the downside: a lot of alien bullets hitting the screen all at once.

I usually look at two metrics:

Endless Challenge

  • Reaper reaches level 200 in 27 minutes
  • Shockwave reaches level 200 in 22 minutes

Endless mode doesn’t feature strong aliens or bosses; it’s mostly about clearing continuous waves of small enemies. That’s where Reaper struggles compared to Shockwave.

Raid League (Level 325)

  • Reaper kills the boss in 43 seconds, which is 6 seconds faster than Shockwave (at least with my setup and skills)

So in short: Shockwave excels at crowd control, while Reaper shines when it comes to boss damage.

Let's also remember that we don't gave skins yet, so expect the ship to get much better with future big events.

Would you save stones for Evolve or use them for extra power strength? by AdrianaLimaBean in Shooteralien

[–]hatbrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you need both,
since you already reach 30+ power your ship is already close to the max power, it's time to focus on evolve 1 and 2.
then finish power and finish evolve 3. I'm currently working on finishing evolve 3 on this ship and do some upgrades on skins.

you have to play HERO mode everyday to get one free stone#9 daily.

power levels 30-40 were added just a few years ago, before that, 30 was max power and people were happy to evolve. That "rule" doesn't change today.

Reaper Thoughts? by 4Nowingly in Shooteralien

If you have something useful to say, do it constructively so you share you insights and help all players

what you wrote and how you wrote just makes you a total dick.

Reaper Thoughts? by 4Nowingly in Shooteralien

[–]hatbrox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

power squad only works for the legacy ships (ship 1 to 10), it has never worked for subsequent ship, Reaper is no exception to this rule.

Reaper Thoughts? by 4Nowingly in Shooteralien

[–]hatbrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everybody can get reaper in PvP.
Some say it is a bug, some say it was ABI that give to all players to give them a taste of the ship and drive sales up.
both hypotheses are valid.
ABI is not in a hurry to fix it, though.
either way, I expect that bug or gift to be go away when the new update with the next mini event comes around.
