Yep. Happened to me. If I watch every ad until the end of the event for OXP I will be 1 short for the SE Sirius.

So.....,judging by the actions of the MM are the platforms still separated or did I somehow piss off Pix enough that my M3 hanger needs to keep getting paired with Champ league meta「loose lady」s?

Once I put it to work, absolutely. I envy few people, but this pushes it right to the limit! I have a few other irons in the fire for goofiness. Unfortunately, when I just spent the tokens I received from completing + buying operation E, I didn't get either a Titan Amplifier or Titan guns I was hoping for from either of the lucky boxes I opened. Makes it harder to have success doing stupid things without the needed resources. Makes me wish I could figure out how to do a Youtube channel w/ my PF name on it instead of my Google acct. I'd just upload stupid video compilations instead.
Only two drones I don't want (a second Daltokki and a Reviver). At least it wasn't a new paint job for the Lynx I don't own.

I'm not happy about it being long range, the new meta will just be snipers and stealth, posiibly one of the most boring War Robots eras yet to come. That’s all I see on the pitch lately. Stealth and LR flooding the match So, I have something that may not be a solution, can at least be a way to get a little mirth out of the situation.
I've been watching for a certain mech deal for many months and it finally came up this morning. While I was trying to not spend for the next few weeks, I couldn't resist because it finally was at a price I was looking for and without more guns I really don't need or want. The weaponry was already leveled. Now I just need to get the pilot up to snuff.

Okay, here's how you do all that. From the main page, hit/tap/click/talk-dirty-to-and-buy-it-dinner the "Profile" tab at the top (#1 in the picture). Once that opens, the screen below will open up. Trigger the "Edit Profile" button (#2 below).
From the Profile screen you can do a number of different things (but not everything shown below because you aren't Moderator). Your default screen will allow you to set a custom Avatar. Don't use anything that would violate the Code of Conduct. When you're done either linking to something on the internet or uploading from your device, hit "Save Avatar Changes" to complete that task.
To change your shown username, hit the "Personal" tab that's right next to the Avatar one. Right below is a blank to change your Display Name (#3 below). Again, don't use anything that would violate the Code of Conduct. Once you're done scroll to the bottom of that page and select "Save Personal Settings."
If you need anything else, just ask!

I’ll post a “how to” for you in a little bit. Hard to do on my phone and I’d rather by on the computer for that.

The only thing I got out of this entire event was an Armadillo drone that I don't even have enough chips to get to Level 2. I sold all the components, because I hate components. Jealous!! I’d LOVE a second Armadillo.

Good, painful lesson.
I agree, unfortunately. Gone are the days where you could do some serious grinding in an event and end up with an actual useful item.
That said, there are still a few that are doable. I grinded (ground?) Event E and bought the pack to get the Sirius. I don’t know I really want it, but I know I STILL don’t have an Aether and just recently got a Murometz and a Ming. I’ve also gotten some decent stuff from the Leaderboards when there are reachable thresholds that don’t require carpal tunnel collapse as well as $50 to buy. Got a few Beta Bubblers that way.
The Special Delivery crates are largely trash, though. And getting worse by the month.

I wonder what it is about Fall-like weather that makes me want a cigar. It’s currently just a shade over 60F, not too humid, and with a very slight breeze.
I’m sitting in one of my Adirondack chairs (made it 12 years ago and it’s still holding up!) with a beer and a dried out stogie enjoying myself.
Maybe it reminds me of all the camping I used to do. Maybe it reminds me of fire pits with friends before parenthood sapped my energy and freedom. Maybe the cigar is the final piece to get really good relaxation in weather that comforts me. Maybe it’s some or none of that.
All I know is when I feel this sort of weather, I want nothing more than this.
Well.....sex is good, too.
Oh Wifey! C’mere!

Been hoarding silver for it. I’ve blown through my silver on the Behemoth. I’m hoarding platinum for a good Titan reduction, though.

What’s with 「huge tracts of land」 McGee on the new loading screen? I like boobs as much as the next guy, but a neckline that plunges that deeply is hardly appropriate or necessary.

Just a few of the bots I have that I enjoy a lot.
Loki — lots of beacon trolling goodness with added ability to blow people up if they ignore you. Can also help keep red off balance by switching beacons in their rear they thought were safe. Played well, you can hang by your stowed guns in places Red can’t easily dislodge you — all while you keep their beacons capped
Skyros — a lot of the same as Loki, but trade the finesse of the Loki for an in-your face approach. Not as many ways to troll holding beacons, but you can push Reds around and off bridges to their death.
Mender — variety of play, especially with the Marie pilot. Make it tanky, help Blue, and bask in the knowledge that you’re such a PITA that smart Reds have a big target on you
Invader — not a lot of damage, but there’s an imposing inevitability to it that I haven’t seen much elsewhere. It’s like Red has to stop a slow-moving Avalanche. Make it tanky and it can last a long time if played right.
There are others that are fun — or used to be but got ruined — but these are a few.

While on a virtual one-on-one meeting with a lady coworker a moment ago, she mistakenly asked me, "can you get it up?" when trying to see if I could load a web utility. Thankfully, the pregnant pause from my end made her realize what she just said and since she has a good sense of humor and we've known each other for years we both got a good laugh out of that.
I'd hate to think what 25 years-younger me would have said. I had just about no brain/mouth filter at that age.

Yeah, it's real horse「dookie」.
I had one dead to rights yesterday and couldn't event dent it due to the hitbox issue. I'm not one to typically quit in a game, but I did that one. Just threw my phone down.

*cries* noooooo not mooore op robots that will one tap my stuff There will always be more. That's Pixonic's M.O. They sell power, bells, and whistles.
They're always trying to ensure new mechs have ever growing OPness.

So, minutes after posting that my best kill streak with the Glory Behemoth was < 2, I surpassed it. Granted, I had a Khepri tethered to me for a decent chunk of it (thanks for the heals!), but I'll take it nonetheless. Teamwork makes the dream work, after all. Also notable that I added my beloved Armadillo to see if added +def via beacon captures would help the Behemoth survive. Not sure how much was due to the Khepri tether vs the Armadillo, but it all helped.
Khepri and I teamed up vs a Demeter while assaulting B beacon. Orion finished him off. Crap. Red captured C again. What is Blue doing?
Got C again. And avenged the death of my Khepri backpack. Note: 7 stacks of +def thanks to the Armadillo. Uhm........where are all the Blues?
Tag teamed w/ a Blue and finished off a Nether. I'm going down, though. Can't stand up vs two Reds wailing on me.
In the end, we lost very much thanks to two Blue tankers. Still, I got a 3-kill streak w/ the Glory Behemoth with two of those thanks to the guns.

To address some of the comments from the other thread about it being too slow (valid, imho) I'm using two Immune Amps. While I kicked around leveling Nitro modules, it was a pretty easy decision to trade some of the speed for considerable more survivability. I have to say that it's quite quick -- spritely even -- when it isn't in siege mode. Even moreso when using the Andrey pilot (obviously).
I've started running some tests. I'm currently alternating between Eddie Noll and Andrey Kvasov pilots. As I mentioned in the other thread, I'm also curious about using Kate O’Donnel both with and without the Paralysis drone to see if the added lockdown really adds all that much more to killing speed due to her innate skill bonus vs locked Reds.
Initial findings: * When I can go toe-to-toe, it's brutal. Most enemies die quite quickly. I've even taken out huge amounts of balled-up Skyros health. Would obviously be better if the guns were higher than 2/4.
* I've had real difficulties getting good matches with it since yesterday evening. I've had a lot of matches with 2 Blue tankers, loaded Champ league Reds, and gotten very unfavorable maps (Springfield Canyon especially). * I've been robbed of kill streaks a few times either due to Blues stealing the kill, getting ganged up on by Reds, or both. My best chance at a streak was from this morning. I annihilated a Mars trying to capture the beacon (I can almost hear 079 giggling) then had a Nightingale drop in on me. I nearly took him out, but also had the aforementioned Mars pilot come back for revenge and hit me at the same time. The Nightingale w/ a sliver of health got finished off by a Blue. Update: Kill streak surpassed, shown in this post. * Debating whether it's better to trade Advanced Repair for Phase Shift. Rationale: While health replenishment is always a good thing, I wonder if Phase Shift would be better due to ability to avoid burst damage and Angler ability while also giving me a few seconds to replenish ammo. * I don't agree that the Glories are only good when you're 50m from target. I play as if I'm running Sonics (try to have target within 150m) and haven't had issues. At least some of that may be due to my being in M3; results vs Champs may be different.
Initial conclusions: * I'm still looking for matches on Dead City, Moon, and Carrier where I think it'd have more success. * It's a fun wrinkle to play. Just sucks in open space.

Everything is a vacuum for resources. I just dropped around 60k Au to upgrade 2 pilots today. Yowsers. Sounds like me yesterday. 30k to upgrade one just for a lark.

Nope, but if this isn't related to War Robots, it should be moved elsewhere. Just let me know and I'll take care of it.

It is a great drone, especially for damage amplification, but keep in mind you want to use it with mechs you are brawling in close quarters with, such as Hellburner for example. If you aren’t going to be close to enemies when you die, dont use this drone, otherwise you lose one of its main perks - additional damage on termination. Caveat: If you're managing your damage, you could use it with a ranged mech. Erebus or Behemoth, for example. I recall some youtubers a few years ago deliberately getting to where their Overdrives would be triggered just for the damage boost.
Obviously, gotta be quite careful.
