Russel I'm pretty sure seal clubbers develop pretty bad play habits. In particular, thinking they're invincible. Not saying for sure if they're seal clubbers or not, they may just suck. But then again, what's the difference?

But then again, what's the difference? :P Easy. If they are the clubbers then it's safe to say that sealclubbing bad for your skills. And it's safe to say that you don't want sealclub if you want to stay competitive. So by posting such results we can decrease number of sealclubbers.

Where: A = Seal clubbing B = Max level C = Average D = Playing normal competition E = 9/10 F = Very Advanced B+C < E+F This quick little model works on the premise that most seal clubbers stunt their own skill development, and that most skilled players with a hangar 9 or above can beat an average skilled player with a maxed hangar. A seal clubber isn't rational enough to understand any of this. All they see is "A leads to B" and their brain shuts off.

While this is true, I mean to reach normal people, who are not that much into the game (remember the thread "how to get gold quicker"?). So when inexperienced player get to this forum he can see where sealclubbing gets him, and will make his own choice: 1) Either he sealclub for month\two, get a lot of resources, but hit a wall at ~Diamond league, 2) Or he play normal games, listen to my (and yours) advices and get a lot of silver and gold in ~3-5 months time along with skills and ability to move through the leagues. It is always easier to teach a person who got no experience, than to change experienced (to some extent) person's outlook, so I aim for new players.

I got mine running last week, you can join if you not superstitious (it's tag is [13]) and not afraid of Gold\Diamond players (we have plenty). I am planing to invite some forum people to my clan, too, when Dashed arrive and he would owe me month of VIP treatment because Dashes would cost hell lot of Gold worth (and we got a bet on this one) =)

Finished all tasks a day ago so now have two Tempest. Also now have over 2500 event coins. Thinking about buying a third Tempest instead of gambling as who knows when the Tempest will be available in the store if I want more and what currency they will be. So what u guys think? Play it safe and get another Tempest, which so far I like, or gamble away which I'd probably do 100 chests so I'd have more than 2-3 chances if you have a fury or about to get a fury I wouldn't gamble. if you have reasonable amount of good stuff in your hanger maybe you shouldn't gamble. if you got plenty of good stuff still to go into your hanger gambling may be a good way to go. the next question is ... if you gamble whats better 25x100 or 2x1000+5x100 I have a fair amount of stuff but no Camelot bots or Fury or QuickDraw. I don't really want any Camelot bots and Fury not sure. I do want Quickdraw bots. I don't think I will like the idea of getting a Gepard and a Gekko or something like that. I get this feeling that will be the 1000 coin chests.

Can't do a good quote on my phone, but I'd be thrilled to have a 50% win rate. Mine has dropped 20% in the last two weeks. Just over 30% now.

Scourge is supposed to come out in July and this event is over the 24th. But yeah no way am I gonna gamble on gold chest. If there wasn't a Tempest to buy I'm thinking I would do bronze. That would be 250 chests to open and by the odds, even though they are weak, I would at least get a gold bot of some kind I figure. Any gold bot would be worth otherwise useless event tokens. But in this case they aren't useless as they will buy a Tempest.

Usual chest is 10~100K Silver, 1~10 Gold, 2~50 Coins or some crap like Zenit, Punisher, Nashorn, etc.

I got my only Zeus that way. I wouldn't mind getting another instead of having to spend gold. I'll try a few hundred after the Tempest.

During 3rd Anniversary event I got my hangar loaded up to the point of no return by the chest prizes. The trick is that the more you have in your hangar - the less valuable prizes are. If you got no gold stuff at all - even a Gekko\Aphid\Gepard\Ancile would be a good thing to win. However, the more stuff you accumulate - the thinner your chance to get something good AND, at the same time, for it to be thing you need\don't yet have. That's why I think it is extremely helpful for a new player to spend even some $$$ on chests, but less profitable for seasoned players to get chests for real money or gold. But as you correctly pointed out - the event coins are free, so ANY prize is welcomed.

But if you are almost maxed than its not worth it. I am a new player. Spent $20 on chests and got fujin and hydra from them. So for me it's totally worth the money but for a player who already have a fujin it may be total waste.

I ran into a random red running a stock destrier on Springfield, i was running Garett with pinata & orkan (999). We both fired at each other the moment we came face to face, but for some reason stopped and took turns capping the farm beacon. Got 10or11 beacons in that one match!, bless them!!! Was trying to get the 23 caps, that one match made a huge dent in achieving that goal. Since then, I've tried running a cossack with ecu & a stalker with 2 ecus for capping, but i mostly get mowed down by reds even when i leave the beacon after capping. I assume that in all these encounters the reds were working their kill goal. After that destrier incident, i cap beacons and move out of the way without firing for the fellow red to cap it. If they fire back, i proceed to unload

I busted this month to end up with 1000 event tokens. My reward? 700 event tokens..... if I had waited until the end of the event, I wonder if that's even in the prize pool. I'm feeling a bit slighted.

Easy. If they are the clubbers then it's safe to say that sealclubbing bad for your skills. And it's safe to say that you don't want sealclub if you want to stay competitive. So by posting such results we can decrease number of sealclubbers. This would only be true if sealclubbers were rational people. People that you could show a correlation to and they'd understand and believe it. Doing A will get your equipment to B quickly, but your skill will top out at C. Doing D could mean your equipment will top out at E , but your skill will reach F. Where: A = Seal clubbing B = Max level C = Average D = Playing normal competition E = 9/10 F = Very Advanced B+C < E+F This quick little model works on the premise that most seal clubbers stunt their own skill development, and that most skilled players with a hangar 9 or above can beat an average skilled player with a maxed hangar. A seal clubber isn't rational enough to understand any of this. All they see is "A leads to B" and their brain shuts off. for overall resource and skill improvement extreme clubbing is way faster than playing the normal way. the question that is more important is whether the clubber keeps on clubbing or if the clubber quits after amassing a fortune. if the clubber quits he/she will acquire high league related skills and better equipment faster. if the clubber does not quit, high tier skills will never be acquired (but smash and grab skills will be unparalleled). also worth considering the clubber is not just a person who has a 12/12 hanger and sinks into bronze (yes that's the fastest way to make resources) but a clubber is also say an expert player who sinks to diamond for instance where suddenly he or she can reliably have a decent gold income (sort of an analogy). the latter will not be far behind in terms of high tier skills but will have a very lucrative gold generation capability.

While I agree with general terms, tanking to Diamond will do you no good. I'm at D1 and all week I am facing 1~3 champs in a battle and 1~2 masters. So if you are an Expert, in Diamond you will face ~same opposition than in Expert.

Inversely proportion of lesser players will drop as u go up. This is the reason tanking has been prolific in the LQ. Say a masters tanks to bronze his side is likely to end up with two masters rather than one. Say three champs drop down than that side is more likely to get 4 chaps. So it's a ticket to riches.

I beg to differ. While this might've been true month ago, I am seeing all kind of players now on both teams. Namely, Champ or two, Master or two, experts and diamonds or even sometimes gold and silver guys filling the blanks. And I'm hearing a lot of rumors that LQ has been disabled. So this _might_ be the new algorythm - to fill one-two players from every league into the battle, to prevent tanking (however it also might be an indication that I've gone too high and I need to dumb down my hangar to get Ancilot-free matches though). And another interesting thing is that it is GEO-related issue, too. There are more Champs in Chinese servers, less of them in Singapore, India and Brazil, so once again, we might be a bit biased here on the forum due to most of the guys coming from NA and EU

It is there and healthy as ever. Only had 4 ancilot bearing down on a pimped out destrier. Take your point, the Asian server could be diff. However maybe u missed my point. The filling in is there and so is the mixed leagues. Unless I missed what u r trying to say we are actually saying the same thing. Tanking under those circumstances shifts the balance in favour of the tanker(s)'s team.

And no, I am not in LQ myself - I met DarkVagabond yesterday on the red team (unless he's in this strange LQ too). What I'm trying to say about tanking to diamond being not very good - skill is good at Diamond, and bots at lvl9 are as fast as lvl12, so while tanker can outgun everyone, players still can win by beacons. Because, you know, Ancilots aren't good at running :-D

Because, you know, Ancilots aren't good at running :-D this thing happens to me very often, once or twice a day. mostly the first couple of battles are against totally weird matchups, like seeing totally unrelated leagues all at the same battles (from bronze to expert?) then it fixes itself and i get normally queued battles. very strange, it led me think i was in LQ many times, but i can't just believe that i go into LQ and out in 2 battles.

Anybody get a super chest yet? My progress bar looks full, but no chest. Does it just show up when you've won enough tokens and/or opened enough chests? Just wondering how much farther I have to go, or if there's something else I need to do.

Just wondering how much farther I have to go, or if there's something else I need to do. The progress bar fills up slower the closer you get to super chest. It could take 100 - 200 more tokens to tip it over. It's normal. Pix does it to make you think you're getting closer than you are so that you keep playing. Good business strategy on their part. We really are suckers for their tactics sometimes... I hate myself for it...

Because, you know, Ancilots aren't good at running :-D this thing happens to me very often, once or twice a day. mostly the first couple of battles are against totally weird matchups, like seeing totally unrelated leagues all at the same battles (from bronze to expert?) then it fixes itself and i get normally queued battles. very strange, it led me think i was in LQ many times, but i can't just believe that i go into LQ and out in 2 battles. There is a hinge point on iOS at 3500 league points. At 3490 I will face even Gold 1 players at 2200 league points. Poor 「illegitimate child」s... Above 3500 league points I typically face Expert, Master AND Champion League players. I have even faced teams consisting entirely of Champions, some above 10000. This where I am the poor 「illegitimate child」....... Never was there so much of a reason to tank below 3500. My love of a challenge has helped me resist it so far. Not sure how much longer I can hold out though. Might've actually won a Tempest if I had enough tanked. Sometimes it sucks having a conscience...

Either I age faster than you, or the tipping point has been moved :-D For me all the hell broke loose at 3000, in Diamond1. That was the first battle I scored lower than 200K in damage and placed last. Shocked, I checked my enemies stats only to find 12\12 hangars and champs\masters there. So I drained well below 2950, and met my old friends Diamond\Expert\Gold again. Got into 3000-ish points, and it started all over again. A bit of relief was playing on foreign servers, but all in all I'm seeing what you describe in 3000 mark. P.s. and don't play on Chinese servers. Believe me, you just don't want to do it:

Believe me, you just don't want to do it: So you're saying that everything I went through teetering back and forth between silver and gold countless times, I'll be going through again between Gold and Diamond, and again betweebe Diamond and Expert? Oh, I can't wait.

Either I age faster than you, or the tipping point has been moved :-D Let's just go with the former ;-) haha i have definitely seen sub 3000 players in my games above 3500. So what you say is definitely possible. I only say what happens to me by practical experience.
