    I'm thinking it'd be easier and lighter on my wallet to go get a Kindle Fire and play on Amazon. :)

    They need a way for us to complete guns we didn't get all the parts for. I have the 11.5 Guitar with 40/50 parts. I'd be VERY tempted to buy some gold and do some mystery box spins if they had it in there for parts instead of guns I need all 50 parts for.

    Sure, I also have the 9.5 Mercury heavy with 47/50 parts, but that's outdated since I have an 11.5 heavy now. What kind of sense does it make to have the Tartarus (11.0) in the "elite mystery box" when I have an 11.5 heavy equipped right now? That's tempting! lol.

    Sounds to me that they should base the parts available in the mystery boxes on our current weapons: They should be parts available for guns we have parts already for that are also stronger than the guns we have equipped. And they should definitely be for guns that are stronger than ones we have equipped.

    Universal Weapons Parts (Trade Ins / Trade Ups) is the answer even a trade of 10 to 1 would allow me to clean house of all this clutter and get a single decent weapon in the process.

    OK GLU has just reminded me that they're still out there wreaking havoc ... just had my 3rd win streak snapped because the game just decided to exit for no apparent reason ... just WHAM and I'm starting over again.

    The real shame is I'm getting pretty accustomed to this behavior ... it's part of the game right? I'm also getting lazy since I'm not competing ... back to basics ... manually exit the game, flush the cache, reload the game every couple of hours ... SMH

    Relax bro, take it easy. It's only an assault weapon. The real battle starts next week with a Tesla and you'll be able to fight till your hearts content. In the mean time, chill!

    You know what's funny ... I don't want a new TESLA, the one have is winning and has plenty of life left in it. All a new TESLA will do is make my life more complicated, invite tougher opponents, and mandate another round of expensive upgrades ... enough is enough LMAO

    When I can no longer easily win LONG battles, provided I'm still actually playing this game, then I'll grab another TESLA.

    I guess you'll have a three week break until the next heavy weapon is offered, unless they decide to postpone it for droid, again.

    I guess you'll have a three week break until the next heavy weapon is offered, unless they decide to postpone it for droid, again.

    What you guys call a break is me winning these weapons and leaving them UN-CRAFTED in my weapons vault until I actually need them. The first 2 TESLA rifles I took into PvP lasted 3 and 2 months respectively and I only replaced them because I had won a newer version. All of these Global Events later, I cannot point to any single weapons upgrade that has resulted in a greater win/loss ratio other than the HEAVY; which is a marginal upgrade at best ... it's simply a matter of how many medkits and hand grenades you're willing to use in battle ... actually tossing a few grenades adds life to an otherwise insanely boring regimen.

    So to answer your question, HEAVY week is my next competitive effort ... that doesn't mean I won't win the weapons, it just means I won't be trying very hard to do so. For me to maintain any interest in this game at all means playing hard once a month ... any more and I will simply fall asleep.

    GLU also has a way of being unpredictable ... you could very well wake one fateful morning and learn IOS isn't running. Their incompetence is not limited to an operating system ... IOS users have been relatively lucky thus far, but when it hits it's going to be a whopper.

    i have decided to take a "break" by only playing 16 hours a day to collect the 50 gold. I am not interested in winning the 2 primary weapons. I am going all in for the tesla next week, then going to get health, diamond production upgraded, once tier 13 is released craft my huginn heavy, and upgrade both heavy and tesla, keeping the current primary weapons. then in 4 and 6 weeks i will compete for the sniper and assault weapons and upgrade these.

    as you say if you get the new ones every week you are constantly chasing your tail as health isn't good enough for weapons, it gets harder and more frustrating!

    Absolutely agree. One of the biggest misconceptions is that we must compete every week, for the same weapons. Who the hell says that is a proper way to play any game. You compete for the weapon you need at the time and pass on weapons that you do not require.

    It's insane to think that one must get the latest and greatest weapon every time it is offered ... GLU hasn't even stated this. I really don't know how the notion originated; probably by observing the high rollers ... they're doing it so it MUST be right (the flock mentality) ... actually nothing could be further from the truth since these guys aren't competing for weapons.

    BTW playing for 16 hours isn't giving yourself a break *** SMILES ***

    My wife admits that she is the worst patient in the world. She wants to be better right now. This is a woman with a concussion, a broken neck, spine fractures, a shattered collarbone, eight broken ribs and various other injuries and she thinks that a week is way too much time to be laid up. Patience is not one of her virtues.

    As long as she's not being reckless, I guess it's a tough position for you though. Is there anyway she could aggravate her injuries doing what she's doing? You may need to get tough with her .....GULP

    We all attribute our success or failure in PvP, particularly in short battles, to having the latest HEAVY WEAPON at our disposal. In fact, we're so steadfast in this belief that entire battle strategies are built around securing this illusive (for me anyways) prize.

    9.5 MERCURY: a remnant from CKS 2.0 this was the foundation of my weapons collection for nearly 8 weeks. Following the great 10.5 BASTET fiasco, it's service lifetime was extended well beyond it's scheduled sunset. Coupled with a good ASSAULT rifle, it was earning victories against opponents that even surprised me at times.

    11.5 MEDUSA: my most recent HEAVY WEAPON is a good one. It earns it's cookies with carefully planned battle tactics and selecting opponents that lie well within it's wheelhouse. As with it's 9.5 MERCURY predecessor, the 11.5 MUDUSA is quickly approaching middle life; which leads me to an interesting observation ...

    With the proper battle tactics, patience and a state-of-the-art ASSAULT rifle in support, the HEAVY WEAPON can have an extended useful lifetime, which seems to fly in the face of all assumptions previously made regarding this weapon. Clearly a reevaluation is in order at the very least ...

    "Conformity" has never been one of my strong traits; particularly true when conformity is not an available or viable option.

    I have no idea what you're trying to say but heavies rock and assaults suck. You're delusional if you believe assault weapons are useful. I actually tried to fool myself into believing that in the past because I had to get one to advance into new maps because I couldn't buy items for cash. Ever since I got the huggin, I've never gone back to those pieces of trash.
