Sir Brad ... are you out there?
This the first TIER 17 Global features a pair of 17.5 HEAVIES. The TOP 10 Prize is a KARMA CLONE, the 17.5 DUAT 14.75M-22.58M and the TOP 30 Prize is the 17.5 JAHANNUM 12.25M-14.25M.
The VIP Event shapes up as follows:
5,000: 17.5 CORNUCOPIA SNIPER
3,500: 17.5 TURKEY HEAVY (Appears to be a clone of the BLOBFISH w/optical sights)
2,400: 15xROCKETS, $40K (cash), 10 PARTS 18.0 STALLION SNIPER
1,800: 1xSHEILD GENERATOR
1,000: 8xMEDKITS, $25K (cash), 10 PARTS 18.0 STALLION SNIPER
750: 15.5 MORLOCK ASSAULT
500: 4xROCKETS, $15K (cash), 6 PARTS 18.0 STALLION SNIPER
350: 14.5 GUISARME SNIPER
150: 3xGRENADES, 3xKNIVES, 4 PARTS 18.0 STALLION SNIPER
50: 7,500 DIAMONDS
5: 1xMEDKIT
The rotation appears to be back to the familiar schedule after a month of pure chaos. As you'll notice, the VIP Event tops out at 5,000 GOLD, up from 3,500 GOLD. The Super VIP most assuredly will top out somewhere between 9,000 and 10,000 GOLD; pretty d.a.m.n expensive.
Until I work out the details of TOOBAD RELOADED, I shall be returning to Global Competition for the first time in 4 months most likely in 2 weeks when the Global features a 17.5 TESLA (just to get my feet wet again and to pick up the scent). For now, just cruising along.
*** SMILES ***
How I miss the thrill of The Hunt !!!
Would anyone like to guess what's behind DOOR #1? My guess is a pair of 18.5 WEAPONS, the top prize most likely being a HEAVY or TESLA, maybe both. Did someone say 19.5?
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!

Didn't see your thread, started my own, Copying here, let's use this one
This Global is for 17.5 Heavies, the Duat, 14.75M and the Jahannam, 12.29M. Both are iron sighted, chain driven clones of the POS Karma.
Your guess is correct, Scorpion. The Super VIP has an 18.5 Heavy at 9250 Gold. The 9250 Super VIP is the Iron Maiden, 18.5, 24.58M/40.24M, with Acog style optics. I hated to do it at 9250 Gold, but I made the leap and like it a lot. Good bye, Karma.
At 8000 Gold there is the Chainmail Assault, also 18.5, 19.66M/30.15M. I haven't tried it out yet.
By the time you get to the 6750 Gold level you will be able to craft the Stallion, a 3 shot magazine, 18.0 Sniper, 13.11M/23.59M, also not yet tried.
Three great guns this Super, no Tesla at all, but my Aphodite, upgraded to 15.83M is working fine. Tier 17 vaults will accomodate another level of upgrades.
In a strange quirk, first level upgrades for the 18.5 guns is 2.63M, less than the 3.92M for 17.5 weapons.

With 5 wins and 40 AP points, I am 2231.
6 wins and 60 points jumped me to 1728.
That's great to hear and I am sure you'll be happy and with max power at 40.24M, you won't be needing another HEAVY for quite some time. The original TOOBAD schedule seems to be back, let's see if it can predict the next event(s) accurately ... The ASSAULT Global should be an off week (possibly) with no VIP Event. The 17.5 TESLA Global should be coincident with a VIP Event featuring an 18.5 TESLA at the Super VIP level.

Has there been any action by CS yet to reset your missions yet? Sounds like that's all you can do is wait on them. It's got to be a real rank stealing screwup for you.
Again, since the health upgrade from 140 to 150 was 5M, this region should net you even more when they fix it. But, doesn't make sense for a full health meter to zero out in one shot, just bewildering.
This one has me stumped since I haven't lost a PvP battle yet this Global. Aside from the "blood bath" I've been referring to, your only course of action would be to max out your PLAYER HEALTH on the BASE.
If you're using the new 18.5 weapons, try going back to the 17.5s and see if that changes anything. I've confirmed that effective "battle power" in matchups can be reduced by using lesser rated weapons.
One caveat ... by the time they fix it we'll be at TIER 18 and it won't make a bit of difference.
Besides how do we know that what happened a month ago wasn't "The Bug"? A single occurrence does not define a trend or pattern.
That actually makes sense to my Tier 12 player with level 150, which he should not have access to. He has no trouble just standing up the whole match, taking turret fire and multiple player shots from their 14 and 15 bases - a regular superman.
Just 2 tiers before that, I almost pulled the plug on him, since he could only defeat bots of equal weapon/tier rating, as actual players seemed invincible, and undefeatable as he is now. (You probably remember my whining?)
This actually makes sense statistically. Low rated weapons coupled with higher rated bases would render a player a "Man of Steel"; weapons attract weak opponents, base makes you invincible ... had I known this 6 months ago, history would be different.
That is why I always recommend keeping your BASE up to date; weapons aren't as important and power ratings are an illusion.
The problem is that weapons upgrade treadmill that GLU programmed into us; even the best and smartest of us (me included) fall prey to this flawed way of playing the game.
I've tried to "wean" myself from this cycle by upgrading weapons only every other month. The key is to upgrade when it's necessary NOT because there's a new weapon available.
*** SMILES ***
Now the fuse hunt resumes (after completing my base upgrades that is). I figure there are 60 or so TIER 16 XP-31s available in the JOLLY ROGER campaign trials, so my goal is to get to 740K power ... we'll see how far I can go.
NOTE: After thinking it through, I think you may have stumbled upon a flaw in the "bot" generation process that's causing it to run off the rails when using the 18.5s. What you need to do is identify the "bot" battles and avoid them like the plague (circa June 2015, 369K drone comes to mind). Please confirm that this is the pattern ...

Is there anyone out there, anyone at all that has any interest in this OR any future Global Events and the associated reporting OR is everyone just being "bugged and GLU'd"?

Yes I am for a change; it's been quite some time since I tasted the thrill of "The Hunt" and I'm just getting started. Charting the field coming down the stretch, reeling in the rabbits ... all a dry run for the TESLA Global, as well as to see just how many AP can be scored for free using TOOBAD RELOADED to upgrade the BASE.
The goal here is to play free energy and supplement the PvP battles with free GOLD acquired from milestones; a detailed report will be forthcoming. I sort of look at this "dry run" as extended target practice.
It should also be noted that ALL battles are being fought exclusively with the 16.5 WITCH TESLA and 17.5 JUNIPER ASSAULT, both upgraded 100%, just as TOOBAD recommends (will recommend). An up-to-date ASSAULT is a key component because it's virtually free (75%) to upgrade.
Just about there, by the time Thanksgiving rolls around we'll have a whole new strategy.
I'm Back !!!
*** SMILES ***
I second this strategy information. The 16.5 WITCH is a fantastic weapon against tier 17 bots, even at only 45% upgraded. Currently, I am using a 16.5 PUMPKIN ASSAULT, that is 100% upgraded. It is a little under powered for the short range bot missions, however the massive jump in player health is making all the difference.
Right now, I am avoiding RL opponents like the plague. The hit too hard and I can do enough damage.
Also, right now I have a 420K Drone with 410K weapons. The Drone still hits like a mosquito. The only effect the Drone really has, is the lag that it causes in the video. In fact, I have been ignoring the opponent's drone in my long range battles, as well as the 2nd juggernaut. In my short range, battles I do take out the drone, but it is not a huge priority.
This is great to hear that your experiences are the same as mine. To make SHORT battles more winnable, I would recommend that next week's ASSAULT Global (if possible) be a priority for you (I know it's a holiday and problematic). With 821M in cash, you'll be able to fully upgrade that 17.5 ASSAULT in quick order and then watch the enemy fall like dominoes.
**SMILES**
Yes, the vault sizes are fantastic, coupled with the upgrades not requiring full vaults is keeping CKS playable for the free and low money player. So far, my record vault has been 211.73K, my weapons are not as high as yours.
YEP and playing for free will remain an option if I have anything to say about it. LOL Where there's a will there's a way ... that's what gramps always told me.
I don't know what happened to my comrade ... I hope Mom is OK.

What is your opinion?
I currently have the following:
16.5 TAURUS HEAVY (40% upgraded) 7M/10M Power
16.5 PUMPKIN ASSAULT (100% upgraded) 7.54M Power
I will be looking for the new ASSAULT weapon from the next Global or VIP. Currently sitting with almost 3,000 free gold in the bank.
I am presently at rank #196, with 146 All Energy and 35 I Energy, all from free gold.
Would you go for the top 90 for the 35 weapon parts for the 17.5 JAHANNAM HEAVY (12.29M/14.25M). Or would you wait for the ASSAULT? If I don't make the top 90, then I will forget about trying for the HEAVY in league play.
The 16.5 PUMPKIN is still doing a fantastic job killing Tier 17 bots (current win streak is at 149).
No I would not go for these weapons via TOP 90 unless you can do it using free energy. These HEAVIES are powerful, but the iron sights and chain drive are problematic. I would instead concentrate on acquiring the 17.5 ASSAULT rifle. I have two (2) 17.5 HEAVIES and haven't used either in this Global opting to use my 17.5 ASSAULT instead.
Also to consider, the cost of upgrades on these HEAVY weapons is quadruple that of the ASSAULT weapons that will be available next Global. You must upgrade these 60% (3 columns) to be competitive at TIER 17. The driving force for me would be that 821M in cash you're sitting on, as well as the fact that your existing ASSAULT has produced a 149 win streak ... a no brainer.
This is clearly a player choice ... my rule is to upgrade ONLY when it's necessary; it's a better use of available resources. Just because you can afford it, doesn't mean you have to spend it.
