Intuitively it seems like Isida would win due to self-healing.

I have caught 16 Fool's Day Golds so far, and made 16000 crystals from those golds (2 5ks, 6 1ks). I have a feeling that the gold probabilities are designed to make the expected value of a gold in crystals equal to 1000 (making it the same as regular golds). :P

ugh 13:40 UTC is quite early for me, but I will try to make it to the next one. :)

4 person wasp fire was very successful, I took a total of 8 golds yesterday :) can someone pm me (or post on here) the details of the next organized wasp fire? I really want to take part. Fool's Golds so far: 2 5000 crystals 2 1000 crystals 2 Monster Kill 2 Immortality

Hey I'll take part in the wasp fires... I have wasp m1 partially microupgraded, fire m2, and storm paint if needed (so my wasp m1 can hold up against those fire m3s) taken 5 golds so far 1 5000 crys 2 immortality 1 superdrug 1 superkill

Hey if any of you are doing wasp fires, invite me please. :) caught a 5k gold today in poly cp (hung around at the point, and then went up the ramp thing on top of everyone and caught the gold.)

Just submitted... hope I win! :)

Great guide! Today I decided to no-life on my alt and gained over 20,000 xp in only a few hours. It is WO1, and I used wasp m1+isida m1. I played almost exclusively on Brest, Highways, and Alexandrovsk. Basically what I did was drive around the map, healing and killing, and capturing as many flags as I could. Each flag gave me about 100 xp. I often got 800+ xp in a 15 minute game, and also earned over 15,000 crystals total.

As a general rule of thumb, don't MU until m3 unless the next modification unlocks very late. Here's some things I would consider mu-ing at the m1 or m2 stages. Smoky m1 (Smoky m2 is very powerful and unlocks only at colonel, I think.) Wasp m1 (Wasp m2 is excellent and is much better than hornet m2, also unlocks late) Firebird m1 (Fire m2 is one of the strongest m2s and unlocks at Major) Dictator m2 (Dictator m3 unlocks at gismo, and each MU for dictator m2 gives you a significant HP boost compared to other hulls.) Titan m1 (Titan m2 unlocks at colonel and is also very strong.)

I'm fine facing druggers who have about the same equipment as me, but I get quite frustrated when someone buys crystals on low ranked alt accounts and drugs on top of that. Here's an example: I was playing on my low ranked account and I saw a Staff Sergeant with Predator Kit (Thunder m1, Hunter m1, Jaguar) fully drugging and 1shotting almost everyone in the game. It's impossible to face this as thunder and hunter are two of the best m1s, and are simply OP with drugs. It was clear that this was an alternate account, because this player was skilled at turning his turret and driving, two skills that can only be developed through experience.

Vulcan Autoaim and impact force way too overpowered, and vulcan doesn't really add anything to the game.

I have to disagree when you say "both viking m2 and hunter m2 completely wreck dictator m2". This might be true with stock dictator m2, but you have to consider micro upgrades also. With a few cheap micro upgrades, you can boost dictator m2's health a lot. For example, I MU-ed my dictator m2 just 9 times during the holiday sale, which didn't cost me very many crystals. Now, my dictator m2 has 245 hp. That is a 15 hp increase. In comparison, MU-ing viking m2 9 times gives a measly 4.3 hp increase, and MU-ing hunter m2 9 times gives an 8.6 hp increase. The strength of dictator m2 lies in its micro upgrades.

I lost one holiday gold due to anticheat falsely triggering. I lost three holiday golds to jumphackers. The anti-cheat system is penalizing innocent tankers, while many hackers (admittedly less, but still many) freely use their hacks. Just the other day, I saw a person using a new hack. I was playing a Noise CTF on Red Team the other day and there was a hacker on the other team who would appear at our base, take our flag, and run back to the blue base. He did this multiple times and managed to turn around the game in the blue team's favor. Note that he spontaneously appeared at our base. One time I had the flag safely at our base (and the other team had ours), when suddenly this hacker appeared next to me, fully drugged, and killed me. His name was something like qurban666.

But on the other hand, the premium user has protection from every single turret. Whereas for other paints, you might have high protection for a couple of turrets but 0 protection for a lot of turrets.

For any low rankers who play Polygon CP: Storm is a cheap and very useful paint to buy. I bought it and MU-ed it halfway during sale, and the 25% fire protection is excellent. At major, many people buy fire m2. My 25% fire protection reduces the damage of fire m2 from 54.4 to 40.8, which is about the same damage of fire m1. It reduces the damage of fire m1 from 40.2 to 30.2, which is even lower than the damage of fire m0! 10/10 paint, would recommend to any short range players.

I have just ranked up to captain (around 240k xp out of 290k), and I have a little less than 40,000 crystals. What kit unlocked at brigadier (or a rank before) should I save up for? I am thinking about Raiden, Medic, Jackhammer, and Refrigerator (but not sure which one yet). I am also open to other suggestions.

Got gold mission... 5 golds reward 9000 crystals So today I played poly cp for like 4 hours, saw 2 golds in total. First one I was killed by drugger, second one I was shoved away by a titan. If I don't get any golds for the next two days, I'll change the mission.

My plans for garage after Christmas Sale (as shown a couple of posts above) were: Turrets: Rail m2, Freeze m2, Fire m1, Smoky m1 Hulls: Hornet m2, Wasp m1 Paints: Spark, Forester What actually ended up happening: Turrets: Rail m2, Rico m2, Fire m1, Smoky m1 Hulls: Dictator m2, Wasp m1 Paints: Storm, Forester Micro Upgrades: Dictator m2, Storm, Forester

0/4 Holiday Golds so far with Dictator: 3 on Happy New year Map: First one someone lagged on top of me and took it, second one a jumphacker took it, third one I couldn't reach drop zone in time :( 1 on Noise CTF: I was in perfect position but laggers took it again :( Surprisingly, I haven't encountered any in Poly CP yet, even though I've been playing that a lot on hopes for gold.

I just bought Dictator M2, Rico M2, and Railgun M2. Can you suggest any good maps for Dictator+Rico and Dictator+Rail? So far I've seen that Dictator+Rico works well in Arena CP, Polygon CP, and Noise CTF.

@ Whoever was asking about the 50% discount on hunter+10% personal discount. Here is the math. Let x be the original price of Hunter. Applying the 10% discount, it is 90% of the total price. So that is (0.9)x. Now, applying the 50% discount will give you (0.5)(0.9)x, which is (0.45)x. So, you will be getting Hunter at 45% of its original price. That is a 55% overall discount.

BP is amazing for a flagcapper on Barda, and is also a solid combo on Red Alert.

Funny story, a couple hours ago a friend convinced me to get m2 dictator instead of m2 hornet. With the new sale percentages, it works out quite well. Here's what I'm going to buy (I have almost 170 000 crystals): rail m2 (62465 crystals) rico m2 (49060 crystals) dictator m2 (49080 crystals) Total: 160605 crystals That will leave me with about 10,000 crystals. I will spend these on MUs during the MU sale. First, I will MU my forester paint fully to 15%. This will only cost me around 1000 crystals. I will spend the remaining MUs on my either my m1 wasp or my m2 dictator. Not sure which one yet. All thoughts will be appreciated.
