I got a new hammerfall build I’m posting tonight.
This Dragon pass seems almost universally unpopular. Is it supposed to appeal to the Chinese? I’m not sure I get it.
It’s cute, I suppose, but I was never into teletubbies…or cute, for that matter. I just don’t get it.
It’s creepy in a dystopian Squid Game sort of way, but that’s the most I can milk from my comprehension of this theme. I really don’t know what to make of it.
Is this original art, or is it riffing off of something in particular that I should know about? Am I too far west to understand this? Too old?
They get creepier the more I look at them. What are they? Maybe I do like them…for giving me the creeps in such an awkward way. Is this dark Chinese dystopian humor, or is it just cute?
IDK what to make of this pass. From a F2P perspective, it’s a lot of free stuff for no real reason. I play and they give me extra resources, and a few coins…because dragons?
What “dragons?” All I see is a bizarre nursery for an oddly childish dystopian surveillance state. It’s like what my wife would set up to spy on our kids with, when they were toddlers.
Is that the gag? Maybe I do get it then; We are the toddlers.

It’s from the Wuling Motors company
These parts leaked but it feel slike we’re just getting some cut content… but just advertising without the content…

There needs to be some kind of Flash build for counter Porc.
IF you don’t have a fused Hadron or a set of fused Waltz, both of these items are worth it. Especially the Hadron. I use it on multiple builds and it is a mainstay of high power score play.
I wish the pass had a +power Hadron and more soccer paint. Instead, it has a chance to craft some well fused legendary items, or get fused whirls and the damage counter.
This pass doesn’t get me too excited, as I already have the same Waltz and Hadron fuses, but it is a nice remedial battlepass for very strong items.
Well, dammit. Why didn’t we get these structure parts included in this pass? It sure could have used a little more content, like those structure parts (I want those. How do I get those?), rather than just repeating Therms and Whirls over and over.
It’s not a bad pass from a f2p perspective. It offers a lot of free badges so I can get structure parts I don’t have from the badge exchange, or resources to craft stuff, and that’s nice. They tossed in a free can of fairly cool paint too, a few odd stickers, and decorated my garage with really weird dystopian toddler decor…so that’s nice?
Thanks for filling me in on the WTF-izzat. I will go look into what all that’s about, now that I have a lead.
I think I like the theme because of how uncomfortable it makes me. I know that’s messed up, but that’s where I am. I’m gonna roll with it as a f2 player and see what I can milk out of it, but I’m not sure there is much in it for my P2P account.
Do I want whirls and a teletubbie motor company advertisement for my range? IDK.
Yes, this. As for the high power-score game play, I’ve never understood the allure, but I do want that decor. I’ve been eye-balling that for a while, and the pass is a better resource for coins than playing along with the Crosscrown exchange rate mini-game. This pass is at least an amusing mini-game. That crap they do with Crosscrowns is despicable.
I don’t think I feel as negatively about this update as most people. Maybe it’s because I’m between moods and IDGAF anymore.
I got you 
now I have a project.

I’ve been playing at that PS range almost exclusively for the past couple weeks, and I have yet to see many porc builds.
But I agree that they will probably perform well in this mode.

It’s becuase all the try hards don’t play 9K PvP missions - with clan wars it leaves little time to play other PS ranges - BUT CW guys will make time for this.
Also, many people playing this mode will not be able to see the true META builds unless your playing at the top. (This is also true for CWs and LWs)
Of course because this is 9k it will be easier for people to play this mode, but for example the screenshot below is 9k porc with 3 fused porcs.
They bill this as a beginner mode - but I’m not 100% that’s true - I think this mode is going to pull 9k doom platoon guys and the top end CW guys. Everyone else will get the scraps that are left.

I don’t think that any mid power score has faced the whole scrutiny of clan tryhard types since those 8K rated Christmas events they used to have that featured 4 hover Nova and Torrero builds with fused Sinuses. Those events got the Sinus nerfed into the ground.
I think that is about to change.

That is what I fear the most about these updates; that the spill-over of META into PVP will make the game considerably less interesting, immersive, or fun, and force us all to adapt to the META or just quit, because WTF is that anyway, P2W heap wars?
I hope it doesn’t come to that.
When they first announced this mode I was telling people about how 2499 - 6499 is now going to be the only safe zone for people that don’t want to play VS Meta CW builds.
The mini-CWs will define what the META at 9k really is.
People will want to practice competitive builds. So PvP missions it is.
For sure, although as we get closer to launch, during some times of the day/week the tryhards come out and you start seeing teams of clan mates running 8999 builds with fully fused gear and lots of spaced armour.
I definitely suffered through some long losing streaks this week, but at least I got a lot of unyielding patches.

Now would be an excellent time to finally fuse your Shiver.

I fused a second one today 
not sure I need it.
But if I do…

Fused both my shiver and a seal on the hardware weekend, and I don’t know how I managed to make useable builds without them!
Thanks everyone who nagged me into it!
Also have more fused engines now, although I don’t find that makes as big of a difference as coolers/rads.

The engines make close to no difference, BUT.
You pretty much have to have one on your endgame build, so just fuse 'em and be done with it.
Rads and coolers are game changers

then explains what this means.
and its not always good to try to start your own clan by yourself. it costs 500 coins to start a clan. 500!! thats the cost of slightly less then 10 uranium! and who will want to spend 500 coins on just making an individual clan for themselves?
they did NOT think that through. and im not mad because their doing stuff with clans, im mad because they are being very dickish to solo players. they are cutting off content and forcing you to be in clans just to get something done. AND on top of that they raised the price of clans from 200 to 500 coins! WHY!? who wants to pay that much!?
there is, just “flash” them and go!
(i am so sorry for that joke LOL)
I would fuse cabins before engines BUT
Modules are #1
For me it is
- modules
- cabins
- movement
- engines
- guns
Some builds might be more important to fuse guns if you need mass or something like that to work.
But you need all your basics first.
You don’t have to start a clan for coins.
You can start a Band for scrap.
but would it still function the same way?
i guess we would have to experiment with it but… idk im still a bit upset about this whole thing.
still though… im still iffy on this whole thing. maybe i can get players to join me for getting weeklies done?
but how would it function when you LEAVE the “band”? would you have to wait a few days to join another? i dont think they said anything about that.
