06/02 ASSAULT GLOBAL (Here We Go Again)

amsoft2000 · June 2016

Good Morning and Welcome to the start of the TIER 24 Battle Cycle.

Before we get started, I wanted to inform all concerned players that the TIER 23 FINALE's TOP 30 Weapon, the 23.5 SANDER MKII HEAVY, was indeed rated @ 943.72M-1.44B. This specification was identical to the GLOBAL TOP 10 Prize ... the 23.5 DRILL MKII HEAVY.

I acquired the SANDER during this past SILVER LEAGUE Event ...
... it modestly exceeds the 23.5 GODHAMMER HEAVY in raw power output.

BUT ... Today's event features my personal favorite ... the ASSAULT WEAPON ... a powerful pair of these "snakes" are available today.

TOP 10: 24.5 RATTLESNAKE MKII ASSAULT - 1.26B-1.93B.
TOP 30: 24.5 COPPERHEAD MKII ASSAULT - 1.05B-1.72B (Picks up where the SABERTOOTH drops off).

The inaugural VIP Event is here ...
... although I am disappointed at the conspicuous absence of the 47.19M MG Drone Weapon ...
... the 25.5s have arrived.

@3500: 24.5 TYPHOON MKII TESLA - 1.89B-2.89B ... Oh My !!!
@5750: 25.5 BULLSEYE MKII SNIPER - 2.1B.
@7000: 25.5 CHARON MKII HEAVY - 3.15B-5.15B with "iron sights" + 1x Clan Wars TRAP.

PARTS: 25.0 LONGSHOT MKII SNIPER - 1.68B-3.02B (TIER 25-LR Standard Bearer).

The Store also has another pair of TESLA RIFLES on sale today although I can't imagine why a player would opt for the lower rated version; they are the same price.

22.5 ZIGGURAT ELITE TESLA - 471.86M-723.52M - 720 GOLD ***
23.5 FIREFLY MKII ELITE TESLA - 943.72M-1.26B - 720 GOLD ***

Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!

I guess your are not the only one disappointed about Drone MG, I was hoping that came on this event, hope next one but I really doubt it, the idea is to sell it, and for the parts for the 25.0 sniper is not there, I start to buy but the parts was for the 24.0 at least for me, so I stop.
So if someone knows what on gold VIP let me know please.

I wanted the TESLA @ 3,500 but yes, it appears the SNIPER parts went missing ... I'll report it to GLU.

Here you go:

@5,750: 25.5 BULLSEYE MKII
@7,000: 25.5 "HEAVY" ... name yet to be determined.

Still waiting to hear from Customer Care, but you know how that goes SMH

Also you were right about the 24.0 RANGER vs 25.0 LONGSHOT, obviously a mistake (hopefully) since that prize is at least a month old.

Missing SNIPER PARTS for the 25.0 LONGSHOT ...

Well some things never change ... The total lack of interest in the ASSAULT weapon has prompted me to resurrect the TOOBAD RELOADED strategy.

If this continues by DAY #3, I may just blow these newcomers away and grab the weapon.

Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!

VIP Sniper parts are to the 24.0 Ranger MKII, 1.51B, yet again. I have now bought/won that gun 3, maybe 4 times.

Hint: look at the photo, bipod is collapsed and folded. Longshot bipod is extended.

I think you're right ... I couldn't tell because I already have the RANGER so I couldn't acquire any more parts. I may have mistakenly took the missing parts to be for the LONGSHOT.

The multiple parts offering are normal, but this is the first time they've spanned more than 1 Battle Cycle or TIER.

When I bought in today, It told me a already owned the weapon. They keep recycling the same old tired parts for weeks these days.

So it's DAY #3 and the newcomers are holding but they're showing signs of fatigue ...
... 258 Victories, No Defeats (did you expect anything less?).

Of course, the legendary SCORPION closing ability is always a dire threat.

I'm still undecided on finishing in the TOP 30 or TOP 90; just cruising along waiting for a sign.

Here was a pleasant surprise ... as soon as I opened RAZORBLADE III, I got a small bump in fuse value. XP-35s became XP-36s and XP-42s became XP-43s

Both were TIER 22 fuses.

Since I'm running on vapor with regards to drone fuses, every little bit helps.

Lvl 1 on contributions says max 1 link... and how do you link when you get the links?

That's a good question ... SIR BRAD ... we need your help !!!

My guess is that since it's a "map building" type activity, only an officer (leader) can build links, maybe we can do it ourselves

Here's a couple of BRAD's previous posts. Of course, neither explains how to build a link.

bradr752 wrote: »

The 4 member threshold is in effect this CW Season on IOS and is helping. The Empty Map Cheaters appear to have been shut down, all appear to have added members beyond the maximum 8 members that allowed an empty map. Elites are having our worst CW ever thanks to early losses that took us down to #4049, so it is impossible to tell whether the match up algorithm is improved.

In spite of our poor showing I am enthused about the possibility of CW turning into a real competition.

The concept of "Links" will radically change the completion.

Another new feature: after you have used up your 3 free CW battles a 38:30 countdown timer appears. This means that in the course of a 1:59 CW you could get 5 battles.

bradr752 wrote: »

Links may be the most interesting addition to the game. It will allow a player to control multiple map Hexes. In order to defeat the player you will have to defeat both linked Hexes.

Links are controlled by Personal Contribution Level to the Clan. At Level 1 you control one Link (your home Hex). At Level 14 you get to add an adjacent Hex. You will then defend two spots on the map. At Personal Level 60 you will control 5 spots on the map and an opponent will have to take out all five in order to defeat you.

This is the reason for the huge maps at the top end. The Volans map has 60 hexes, which could be managed by 12 Level 60 players, a daunting task to defeat.

One other new feature of CW is that when you use up your three attacks, a countdown timer is activated which allows you another attack in 38:30 minutes. This means that you could get 5 attacks in the allotted 1:59 time limit for CW.

It's integrated into contributing to your clan somehow, that much is clear, but the "linking" process is something I'm still fuzzy on.

Maybe SIR BRAD can give us a detailed breakdown (description) of the process itself.

He will read this sometime today and post his answer ... I hope. :cool:

With 15 hours remaining, the AP levels on IOS than in recent weeks:

#2 24,235 Anhminh7482
#3 23,685 Koppu29
#10 17,094 Ashygirl
#30 11,285 Brad752

My goal is to finish in the #30 spot.

amsoft2000 · June 2016

WOW BRAD ...

RANK #30 and 11,285 AP with 15 hours remaining? I'd say the Global isn't simply "alive" but thriving on iOS; that's plenty of cabbage

What's the cutoff, what you might call the "doughnut hole", for that 8,500 AP threshold? Looks like it could be pretty close to RANK #90.

There is a Sale Item that might be useful for players using "marginal" Short Range weapons and looking for a leg up on the current TIER as well as to increase their raided vaults to 3.5M-4.0M ...
... the 23.5 GRINDER MKII ELITE - 943.72M-1.44M - is available for 720 GOLD ***

Be prepared to get the weapon upgraded ASAP for maximum return; we're still early on in the TIER 24 Battle Cycle. I consider this a short term, temporary solution to satisfy a present (dire) need.

amsoft2000 · June 2016

We're walking on egg-shells again and quite early I might add.

This is going to be a long event if I want to craft my weapon tonight. Shzzzbttt.

Every so often I need a reminder as to why I avoid these League Events. :cool: GLU will you please get rid of this "counter productive" RANK #1 Award ... nobody wants it !!!

LOL, by actual count, I had bought/won the Flute seven times.

BTW, I finished #31 with 12960 AP, I couldn't finish #30 without knocking a Elites member off the Leaderboard.

Can a player link cells or does the clan leader have to do it?

amsoft2000 · June 2016

Good Morning Brad ...

Our fearless leader has finally stopped tinkering with the CW schedule and it's back to where it was a week ago ... I guess he HAD to experiment

This morning we just fought another 3-man CLAN for a total take of 200 Tokens and that's the 2nd time this has happened (that I know of) since the new CW was released.

What is so difficult about not allowing these CLANS to compete?

I did receive a recent CONTENT UPDATE ... could they have changed it back? If so ... WHY ???

I've noticed a decrease in the number of drone weapons parts awarded via PvP and of those awarded, most are of the 26.2M variety ... or so it seems

Finally, PvP Battle difficulty is about normal now and grenades have settled down a bit. Do you think GLU just gave us a temporary break (lure)? LOL I think maybe it took the "bots" some time to "learn". :cool:

I've also adopted your campaign strategy of collecting all INTEL and killing "The Boss" BEFORE closing any campaign contracts since I haven't closed a single RAZORBLADE III contract (other than the trials).

Might as well grab the CASH and make a charitable donation

KUDOS and THANKS !!!

bradr752 · June 2016

Scorpion, Drone parts are way down on IOS as well. Running at only 40% of the rate of three weeks ago. I am contributing all parts to the Elites Base Upgrade, but it is slow going.

The 4 Man Clan limit is in effect on IOS, but there is nothing to prevent clans from dropping below 4 members during the course of the Season.

Battles are real easy at least in part because of Clan Bonuses: At Level 36, Elites have bonuses of 6.1% Player Health, 8.6% increase in Weapons strength, 9.15% bump in Medkits and 8.6% Drone increase, a noticeable difference in PVP play.
