Is it a bad sign that I just poured myself brandy while cooking breakfast for dinner? Depends on the brandy. Uhhh, could’ve been any of a few. Nothing expensive, though. I’m far too cheap for that.

Had a really odd non sequitur get posted as a comment to one of my YouTube videos. I could have come up with any of a few smart assed comments in response, but considering this supposedly came from a kid.......
In the absence of anything relevant, the most appropriate response is none at all. It’s not fun, but it’s the best.
The internet is a weird, weird place.

No, I've never tried a Cormorant yet.
As far as the cannon, I'm having troubles staying away from them. Best I can do is just try to stay close. I've started trying to take out their legs shortly after the side guns just to give me a little more of a chance vs them.
Yeah, as you can see, crawling on the Tirp complicates your ability to line up hits, and endangers you to their top weapon, and flanking fire, which inevitably took you out. You got the idea though, stay under its wings and hugging its legs until you can emp and back away to hit the Inquisitor. If you stay grounded, you have better mobility and can be evasive of flanking fire without issue. This is actually why I previously mentioned a Shon being a bit superior to the Mite in this regard - agility coming largely from being grounded, whereas the Mite sometimes clings to objects in such a way that complicates mobility and strike tactics. You called it. Crawling on the Tirp was completely unintentional.

I'm enjoying BoT. More like Walking War Robots, but things are pretty well balanced (Atlas notwithstanding) and you can do just fine without spending $$.
Will it have staying power for me? Maybe, maybe not. Nothing else has. It's good enough for now and that's good enough for me.
And ohmygosh could it be fun if timed drops worked out.

This is what spider mechs are meant to do.
You done a superman leap onto an airborne Cormorant yet? Emp in flight, they drop, you keep em grounded. Especially epic when leaping from mountain tops or off dreadnought wreckages. Your video was great. Try not to crawl in front of the Inquisitor cannon though lmao No, I've never tried a Cormorant yet.

I see. Yeah, Tormentor Hammer Ravager is pretty versatile that way and allows you to hit Cormorants as well. In lower tiers Sting Nelly is a great option for reason you mentioned. If you run it against mostly t3 opponents, when its finally t3 you want to run an UL Nelly with either all A or all JC. This makes your Nelly really difficult to get at. I got you covered!

As for Manglers not being enough, this is to do not just with power or good aim, but the best set up on them for stripping a lot will be MMMR. Curious which other weapons you are referring to that get the job done that Manglers dont? I have circumstances where I can’t getting close enough for Manglers to get the job done and/or I get stripped trying to get to/from the target in circumstances where I’m unable to get the drop on them. I use my Manglers on the Mite and Shon because for each of them have the ability to be sneaky and quick to close the distance to target and locked down to apply damage and get back to cover. With Nelly and Ravager, I have been unable to have similar results. I don’t do nearly as well with Nelly for ambushing and spend a lot of time coming over an obstacle to be able to apply damage and/or get back to cover afterward. Currently I have stings equipped. I’m not stripping guns, but I have had a lot more circumstances of success where I am able to peak over or around an obstacle, unload a salvo, and get back quick to avoid much if any damage. Previously with the mangler’s, I would start peeking around an obstacle and then have to completely bring the guns to bear before I could start shooting. That was a lot longer time to target causing me to take a beating. In the case of Ravager, it’s more elusive, but thus far has not been able to take a punch. I’m getting stripped easily. Part of that is because I have not been able to take it to T2 yet. Because it is squishier, for now it has Tormentors. It might stay that way. It might not. Gives me the ability to hit some robots with shorter range guns. Before those guns, it was free EC for reds.

I don’t disagree with you, but I’m not in any rush to get max gear. I’m dabbling to try to find what I enjoy.
Additionally, I have had instances where I can’t get it done with Manglers. Other weapons give me ways to solve that problem.

Poopface what is a Revenant? Do you mean Ravager? Also our forum linguistic set up will autofill Ravana if you only abbreviate it as R a v. Yeah, Mangler Nelly has a tactical learning curve, that includes not making positioning and jump choices that rely on support from teammates. I see youre experimenting with modifications, so I have no input on that other than the mod suggestions I laid out previously. As long as it is fun and you feel your builds are producing good combat performance, unless of course you sometimes just do a troll build such as Beacon Tormentor Mite. Yeah. Sorry. Ravager. It was a brain fart. I’ve been watching some videos on YouTube and reading the Discord. From what I can tell, some builds that work well at T3 aren’t quite there at T2 or below. Some if the benefits you get from extra mobility as the boosts stack up at T3 aren’t there below that so I’ve had to make some interim changes.

As far as hanger is concerned, currently running Mite, Shon, Nelly, and Revanant.
T2 Shon: T2 MMR Manglers, T2 Fulgur w/ Surge Amp and 2 EMP Projectors. Still need to T2 the 3rd Accelerator and the Jump Capacitor. T2 Hardening, T1 Hardening, T2 EM Circuit, T1 EM Circuit. Need to T2 the T1 stuff.
T2 Mite: Built similarly to the Shon, but more T1 stuff. Weapons are fully T2 with one upgrade exception.
T2 Nelly: I've experimented with weapons. I had a full set of T2 Manglers, but kept getting in situations where my teammates (AI and people) were stupid leaving me to get annihilated and/or kited. Currently running T2 Stings with 2 T2 Reinforced Ammunition and a T2 Feeding Gear each. Fully T2 Orange armor, T2 Capacitors and a T2 Amp. Fully T1 EM Circuits (need to T2).
T1 Revenant: T2 MMR Tormentors, T2 MMR Hammer, T2 Pirate Javelin
Saving up EC to buy a T2 Revenant the next time it pops up in the Black Market instead of dropping the 6M to upgrade. I'm also slowly picking up other T2 gear as it hits the BM for other experiments.

Dude. That's not 15k kills. That's 15k victories. Two different things.
That said, I'm a fan of the account name for obvious reasons.

Poopface word is the the dev has been working on an update. Either that or General Disarray was just 「fluffernutter」ing with people in chat, but he is not one to joke about things like this Is it still just the lone dev or is there a team now?

Ladies and gents:
We did the whole seal clubbing, we hate Youtubers, 「fluffernutter」 whales thing years ago. It turned the whole Forum toxic and a lot of people left the Forum as a result of not wanting to see/deal with the venom. The game quality is undoubtedly sub-par these days, but finger pointing benefits no one.
Keep it civil or the thread is getting locked and discipline meted out.

Oh, I can abide. Im not allowed to debate with a certain group because they are favored? I stated an opinion, several times, if there was an issue it shoulda been brought up straight away. But i feel that cuz i touched on someone more popular, now and after the fact the mods rise to defend the tubers. Fine. Whatever, so much for free speach. A mod is allowed to call me names, then issue me a warning...... great optics. Appreciate the response and candor. You're welcome.

Typhon JohnnyI can see why you’d think that’s the circumstances behind the warning, but that’s not the case. He asked fellow Mods for input. The Boss gave input and instructions for you to get a warning. The others (including me) were otherwise occupied and didn’t chime in in a reasonable amount of time. He expressed concern about how it’d look if he issued the warning, but stepped up and handled it. Now that that’s cleared up, my 2 cents. We have long had the policy to not slander the Youtubers. Agree or not, you must abide or go your own way. You’re a smart guy and funny. I enjoy your inputs and have enjoyed getting my butt beat by you on timed drops. We’d love to continue getting your thoughts, but dumping on YouTubers is a dead issue. Want to hash out your differences with the Mods? Absolutely. We can do it over DMs. Not here. Insisting on continuing the Youtuber thing will only end up in further hard feelings and a time out for you.

If it makes you feel better, you aren't alone.
I quit one game about a week ago. Lol, it took me a minute to get your joke. Yeah, that was a big quit. A shame. But good 4 u, m8. Everyone reaches the precipice at different times due to different catalysts. I had hit mine. Could I have continued playing? Yes. Could I have had some degree of success continuing with what I had assembled and leveled up? Yes. Was I occasionally having fun? Yes. For me, I saw the direction things were going. Unlike in the past where there were some respectable changes to the game that added some benefit, with the last few series of releases, what was projected, and the overly aggressive series of nerfs pixonic was implementing, I decided I was tired of it all. It just wasn’t worth it to me to continue and I didn’t want to backslide. It is what it is.

I had three games against this tanker squad.

Thanks Poopface, yeah I can put a Ravana in the lineup.. ill try that, what weps do you like with it? I used Webers for anti-Crisis/Behemoth duty. BSGs in general. I did close range and kill Crisises with the BSG loadouts when necessary, but that was obviously more challenging. I wanted to try Stabbies and Grenades, but the recent meta changes + 6gun mech announcement led me to preclude those ideas.
