Looks like this means no universal release of Tesla. Where's Riddler?! I want my money back!! If it's the same Arms Race as the first one, without changes, then I'll probably not participate.

Do you know what you are doing?

I don't know if there should be more Ranks, but what if Ranks are just readjusted. Today one needs 1,400,000 to reach Generalissimo and 1,600,000 to reach Legend. What if that is changed to 3,000,000 to reach Generalissimo (30th rank), and to reach Legend some arbitrary number. That change would mean current Legend 7s would become Generalissimos. That would also aliviate the 9X EXP that is inflicted on non-Legends. Recruit could require 300 EXP to complete Private 600 (2X) Gefreiter 1100 (about 1.8X) Corporal 2000 (about 1.8X) Then they can go 1.6X, 1.4X, and 1.2X for other ranks.)

Maybe you could explain why you're asking that kind of question. But since you're thinking 10 kits, and there're 10 hulls in the game, you are basically left with the choice of selecting 10 turrets. Now, like some have suggested, instead of asking for what are the 10 best in a game that has 15 turrets, maybe you should ask which are the 5 worst. One way to find out those 5 you don't want or need could be to remove turrets that are in some ways reduntant to others. For example Fire and Freeze have some similarities, you could leave one of the two out.

Mr Riddler, please give The Pakistani he's account back. PS. Oh no, my English is vorse and vorse. *his

The range in AR battles positions have seen are from 2 to 16. The average of that would be around 9. So, maybe your ideas of "average" should include the notion that the average be of only the original players. For me the 30 minutes is too long and just that encourages players to quit when they are behind in the score. Maybe 15 minutes would be better, but then maybe lowering the number of turrets would be needed. Then they should allow battles to end so more players get the chance to get the Thing.

@Devs I think in some ways Arms Race could be used to evaluate the strenght and performance of turrets. I played like a dozen AR battles and I find that Gauss performs very well even in crowded situations. I think the lack of a laser makes it an above average performer and maybe even one of the best performers. Twins needs the splash damage/self-damage removed by default, at least for this mode. In my case I'm used to the no-splash Augg and in AR I was self-splash damaging. Rail feels a little weak, but that's probably because it's a classic long range with the weakness of leaving a trail, unlike Gauss. Shaft is also above average but has a laser, unlike Gauss. Freeze and Isida below average. Thunder, Hammer, Rico and Smoky feel weaker than average.

In my opinion, that's because it's a special turret, like Terminator. Now all it needs is a special Hull.

Thing is a better name. The Thing is good for special modes from time to time, maybe, but I don't want to see it in Garages or in regular battles. Next could be a punching turret for more range. And ask Riddler for more ideas from the Vigilante game. The Arms Race should end for those that make a number of kills with the Thing, but the battle should continue for the rest until they get the Thing and complete the nunmber of kills or the 30 minutes ends.

I guess some players are abandoning Arms Race battles and I guess because of that the system is putting new players in Arms Race battles already in progress. I was just put in one where the top player had the 11th turret,. I'll try a couple more times.

This should be the soundtrack for this mode, but change the lyrics to 'We're not gonna get it'. And we should here the soundtrack/song when we are far behind in the score, the meaning being that we're not gonna get neither Tesla nor the Thing.

I'll believe it when Riddler says it's true. Images can be manipulated. PS: Kidding, of course. I played 3 battles, in the second I finished second and had the chance to "try" Tesla; I have no idea how to use it, but manage to do the kills and switch to the other turret. That was easier than Tesla, and maybe that's why battles end soon after some players get them. PS2: Yeah, you barely get a chance to play with Tesla when you get the Thing®. I don't like DM, it's not that I'm bad in this mode, I finished 4th, then 2nd, then 6th, then 7th, and now 1st. I guess I don't like the kill, die, respawn, kill, die... or, now it's like kill, respawn, kill, die respawn... And because I like Team battles better I think there's no need to kinda practice with Tesla in DM. I'll wait for the universal release. But the Thing® it's kinda fun. That should be the name. Then again the 12X or something like that. 5k exp per battle is too much.

Like a hammer, sure. I'm going to believe that, sure. What does it do? Break Gauss' ears?

Nice try folks, ha, ha, ha, very funny. But I'm not buying it, I'm not playing 12X MM.

That's an easy question...

Freezing, burning, healing, intoxicating...

Dictator's OD shouldn't drop mines at least in Parkour. Instead maybe give it a better selfish effect to compensate.

Maybe Tesla MK1 will be the surprise. Yeah, Hunted has that one effect while others have like 3 effects. I believe it's 3 days to claim after you complete the missions that you have like 10 days to complete.

I think Arms Race is in a way another way to stretch the Early Access period, because with this mode everyone will get a chance to play with Testa after playing with all the other turrets, thus allowing owners to delay the universas release. If Arms Race and universal release are implemented together, whom will be playing Arms Race when they can buy (with Crystals) and play with Tesla right away?

That's cold. You could've ignore it and let him find out for himself, and the damage would've been limited. But no, you decide it to correct him, after he called the other poster 'genius', without you calling him 'genius'. In other words you further exposed him, after he exposed himself of course, without joining him in his level. You left him alone. Now I decide to not correct him, but that too is not very good, because what was he going to think when he would've find out by himself that he was wrong and that noboby corrected him? He's gonna think that nobody cares what he says right or wrong, and that could bring an emotional and psychological impact. He could grow from there but there's an elevated risk. The best option could've been to call him a 'genius', joining him in his level, sharing the damage, causing a distraction, and still have that oportunity to grow. But who could be brave enough to call him 'genius'? Not even the originally insulted poster did.

I know, I just needed an opportunity to tell that theory again... sorry.

To the garage, I don't thinks so. I think this weekend we'll get Arms Race, either for the weekend or the whole week, then after that we may get Testa released to the garages. They also need to give as reward and sell more Ultras with Tesla Mk1s in them, to make some players very happy for a week. If they release Tesla this weekend who's gonna play Arms Race to not play with Tesla until the end of battles?

Ok, how about a vertical | laser for Gauss? It would go well with the vertical aiming ears. Which since it's a line instead of a dot, it can be a faint line which will make it less visible. Shaft could have a horizontal - laser. And Striker keeps the dot . , or gets a faint cilindrical o laser to make it less visible.
