04/21 HEAVY GLOBAL (Watch The Bouncing Red Dot Please)

amsoft2000amsoft2000 Registered Users 5,782 Posts
We've reached the halfway point of the TIER 22 Battle Cycle. Many have been working (fighting) feverishly on their defense base and weapons upgrades. I hope there is still some fight left in you because today, the 3rd TIER 22 Global Event, features HEAVY weapons with optical sights.

TOP 10: 22.5 IROQUOIS HEAVY - 393.22M-643.83M (Current Tier ONLY)
TOP 30: 22.5 CHEYENNE HEAVY - 471.86M-722.47M (Packs a nasty punch; get it upgraded fast)

Nope ... it's NOT a typo, so please be careful when deciding upon a Global Event battle strategy.

There is a VIP Event also underway and I see the 22.5 OSSUARY TESLA @ 3,500 GOLD, so this could very well be a replay of the "Hammer Of God" Global Event that kicked off TIER 22.

Does anyone believe in second chances? :cool: http://ggnbb.glu.com/showthread.php?204525-04-07-TESLA-GLOBAL-(Hammer-of-God-)

The Store is holding a "FIRE !!!" Sale for the thrifty amongst us.

21.5 FOXHOUND SNIPER - 157.29M-241.17M - 240 GOLD ***
21.5 BELLOWS TESLA - 235.93M-361.76M - 720 GOLD ***

Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!

    I sure did and noted it in the very first post. Now the question is, will the weapons themselves match the advertisement? GLU has made mistakes before regarding a weapon's power, but this is a first that I can recall. I suppose we won't know for sure until someone actually acquires these weapons.

    We'll both probably end up adding it to our already cluttered weapons locker and find out. :(

    What say you Brad?

    I seem to recall that it did happen once before. On the second day of global, they released a content update to fix the problem, by changing the weapon values.

    He's alive and well !!! I thought maybe we had lost you bud. I guess these longer and longer absences between posts are to be expected. That's cool ... I'm still doing what I do for the benefit of any "concerned" individuals; I've even received a few PMs thanking me for being such a good "moderator" ...
    ... I'm not entirely sure how to process that though :)

    Drone question... Guys when you get to 47.19 label do you have to buy the machine gun on wheel? I got to the point, and I know that machine gun was on my inventory when I needed it was gone, now is on sale on the dam mystery box. Do that happen to everyone or just me.. I contact our great costumer service and still don't give me an answer.
    Also I hear that there is more labels but I don't have any new parts.
    Any ideas...

    The 47.19M drone weapons parts are typically available during VIP Events @ around 1,600 GOLD. Today it's the SHEILD GENERATOR, last time it was the ROCKET LAUNCHER. You can also acquire these via mystery box (as you mentioned) or the Wheel of Fortune.

    Now when you say it was in your inventory, are you sure because you will see mystery box items in your inventory. I've noticed that parts (26.2M & 32.8M for example) that are truly there are "power" tagged in red and you'll see multiple parts of the same power.

    That said, I've never heard of anyone losing a single drone weapon part, entire inventory wiped out ... never a single part though ... but anything is possible at ...
    ... The GLU Factory.

    I'm 100 % sure that was on my inventory also I was able to see it on the misery box, I was feeling lucky to have it, now I'm on 67.6M I don't know what's the next label because I don't see more parts available... Should be more I guess, Brat an others drone power is to high I don't think they be using 47.19 M on them.
    But thank you ! !
    Never stop... keep fighting !

    It is a little confusing, but the 47.19 MG will be listed in your inventory, even if you don't own it, because it is in the Mystery Box and any 47.19 Drone weapon in the current VIP at the 1600 Gold level will show up as well. The key is that weapons that you actually own will be stamped with the word "OWNED" in the upper left corner. I currently show both the 47.19 MG and RL in inventory two times one with and one without the "OWNED" stamp. If the designation in the icon is red, it means that your drone is currently not sufficiently upgraded to allow it to be used.

    Stupidly, on two separate occasions, I gave away 47.19 M Drone Weapons to Elites Clan Base upgrade by accident, and had to reacquire them, so I have proved that it is at least possible to lose them.

    What weapons do you have on yours? Or still no new weapons ?

    I am running all 4 attachments at 58.05M, which are the 47.19M weapons, (the highest currently available), upgraded 4/20 Levels. The 47.19M MG is continuous fire and the continuous fire from the Mirror Drone adds a real element of interest to the game. I will complete Drone Level 210 later today, which will allow me to get back to Drone weapons upgrades.

    Good Morning,

    Has anyone received a content update yet? I'm still showing these HEAVIES in The Store with seemingly reversed power ratings :(

    I also just completed my 6 AM CLAN WARS trilogy of battles and in one scenario there were TWO spooks firing from the balcony *FUNNY* ... Instinctively, I'm looking at those balloon tags to decide on which to fire *DUH* this is CLAN WARS dummy ... took them both out for the victory.

    I need to remember to have my coffee first :)

    I assume that the numbers are posted somewhere, but the costs above Level 180 don't go up very much:

    181 26.2M 1810 XP
    182 28M 1815 XP
    183 30M 1820 XP
    184 32.1M 1825 XP
    185 34.3M 1830 XP
    186 36.7M 1835 XP
    187 39.3M 1850 XP
    188 42M 1860 XP
    189 44.9M 1870 XP
    190 48.1M

    Cost to fuse remains at 71282 Diamonds per XP, same as level 171 to 180.

    Total cost for Level 186, which is where I am right now, will be 130.8M Diamonds.

    Good Morning Brad,

    Do you have a "breakdown", similar to what you provided above, for Levels 191-210?

    If so, could you post the info to the "Drone Development" thread ... that would complete the entire drone development cycle; from start to (current) finish. NK14 would be proud. :cool:

    Great Job Brother.

    Thanks !!!

    With 10 hours left to go on the IOS platform, it appears that for the first time in well over a year, there will be less than 30 players in Gold League and no "Donut Hole":

    #3 26460 Snowghost223

    #27 9418 CKS48
    #28 8499 Canada020576
    #30 8499 Pogranec1979

    The 1000 point gap between #27 and #28 is likely to remain until end of Global.

    Keep a close eye on this. It could be yet another symptom of declining competition. Singularly, it doesn't mean much but when you add up all of the symptoms, scoring, competition and participation is in decline.

    Let's hope this was only a blip, but the first time in over a year says something.

    HOWEVER ... there could be several players lurking just below the leaderboard, slowly pushing their way through "The Great Wall" and could easily unseat those sitting at Ranks #28-#30.

    I never quite grasped the practice of coming that far and settling for 35 Parts, when the TOP 30 is right there at your fingertips. Sort of like yanking defeat from the jaws of victory, especially since that TIER 23 capable HEAVY is still sitting there as a TOP 30 gift.

    I've seen this "lining up" in the Global quite a number of times ... didn't understand it the 1st time and still don't. Unlike the Silver League where one avoids "winning", here is a weapon ripe and ready for the picking.

    C'est Le Vie ... To each their own. :cool:

    Here's a real conundrum ... the 22.5 CHEYENNE HEAVY - 471.86M-722.47M is still listed in The Store ... (as is) and is obviously the Silver League Event prize via parts for RANKS #2 on down.

    It also appears that a "clone" is up for grabs in the Silver League as a RANK #1 prize. The problem is, I can't find it in The Store or the craft repository ... this is a real "go with your gut" kind of decision.

    I have no idea what the power specs on the RANK #1 weapon are, and even if I did, I cannot guarantee that it's a "better" weapon than the RANK #2-#20 weapon.

    Then there's the possibility that whichever weapon you win, GLU could come back a week from now and change the power rating, thus nullifying your achievement. What a fracking mess.

    This might explain why "the lineup" has commenced so early in the game ... many are totally confused as to which weapon to go after and are walking on egg shells once again. Going after the TOP Prize is a DAY #1 decision for obvious reasons.

    My advice might be: If you have 20 (or more) parts, fight for the #1 Prize, if you're so inclined ... you'll still have 2 days to grab enough parts for the CHEYENNE. If you have less than 20 parts already, then you have no choice, so let's hope #1 is a "good" weapon; if it's a clone? Your move.
