Off-Topic Discussion / Re: The General Chatter Thread.

I know that 10 years ago I bounced from forum to forum, community to community being a thoroughly unlikeable as possible. Getting into arguments, complaining, offending and generally being as much of an abrasive gobsh**e as humanly possible. Sometimes I remember the arguments and scraps I got into and cringe majorly, but at least I like to think I've chilled out and matured a great deal since then.

You sounded like a model GTMer

I once got into a 10 page argument with someone over admin policy. I actually cited free speech laws, you would have loathed me back then

are you me

what's your crime

being a weapons grade autist

I was a brony fanfic enthusiast when that was a fad, if it makes you feel any better.

OK I never got that bad. My condolences.

VS is kinda . Axe looks nice except the bottom of the axe shaft looks a bit empty, some more filling in around the motor would be nice IMO. I like the idea of the flamer, but you're 50kg underweight and 1 medium tank is nowhere near enough for 2 flamethrowers.

i thought you quit

probably will enter wraith and only wraith, because itll inevitably get shuffled out if i enter anything alongside it and its the one i want to actually see fight

You can lock in Wraith and send in another bot, though Wraith will likely need to swap from typhoons to be legal.
"9.    Typhoon teeth are now limited. 2 Large 4 Small for a Vert, 4 Large 6 Small for a Horizontal and typhoons on drums will probably not be accepted."

man what do i even replace them with
ds teeth are fragile as hell and any alternative i can think of wont attach to the drum properly

finally had a version of wraith i was proud of and knew it could win and yall change the rules so it cant fight anymore

count me out then. if this is the way irl is heading i probably wont enter anything anymore

Stop crying waahdnik, without that rule you'd be whinging about stuff spamming typhoons out the ass like Tilted Evo 2. There are plenty of components in the game, if you want to only use the most effective come play DSL-S like a proper boomer.

OK, a few changes

stock and dsl-s will no longer be accepted. they're dead metas that nobody cares about

CAD will be combined with custom unless we see a rise in the amount of cad bots sent

Suggestion: use imgur for 3rd party image hosting (although preferably just host all the screenshots on GTM and put them in a spoiler). Random image hosts have a nasty tendancy of yeeting your images after a few years which is bad for preservation/archival purposes.

Looking forward to the tournament!

Imgur's banned in Indonesia iirc

Actually not. It's only by certain data providers tbh. Also, i have VPN, though when I tried to log in to Imgur yesterday, the page couldn't respond at all, so I'm unable to use Imgur for upload

Edit: Also for what Badger said, isn't there like a picture limit per post IIRC? Because eventually, I'll have to get more than 170 splashes

Or just put all the splashes on a single image per weight class?

There's a few good bots in Heat F. Dead Man's Party gets my vote, but Ahri and Banisher both look pretty decent. Shoutouts to Ahri for keeping the orange/fox connection alive, Pip would be proud

Scavenger looks to be the coolest and most original bot in this heat. I like the industrial aesthetic. It's pretty hard to judge from small screenshots from a single angle though, it would be cool to see a short 3D rotating video of each bot in a heat showcase video or something, thought that would be a lot more work than just taking screenshots

I love the use of shell panels on the last bot. The other 3 seem a bit below your usual level.

stop spamming threads asking people to upload random bots to the bot exchange. If you really have to, ask politely in a PM instead.

« on: June 08, 2019, 04:51:29 AM »

Heat A
Vespin Mk. II- Typhoon drum is typhoon drum
Not Copyright- Oof piglet as a weapon motor, is it IRL?
Franken- What in the...
Orcatraz Evo- Looks alright, but will probably be meh in combat
Top Hat- Probably ineffective, but a rookie built it so what can I really say?
Sad Slapper- probably won't do well, but my favorite in the heat

Heat B
Craplectric 2- Neat for a vert
Jaguar- Looks OK, but will it perform?
Supersonic- That weapon support is
SBD- Well built S3 clone
Cujo 2: Maneater- That color scheme makes a dull tombclone bad
Pike- Alright

Heat C
DJX: Name Suffix- Pretty boring and boxy vert honestly
Bored Again- LEDs don't hide messy extenders. Nor do they hide a flat on a tombclone
Break You Down- How is this at weight? Also, rather boring and ineffective.
Proximus- Havok Bomb
Tree Hugger- If only axes were good at fighting. It looks so nice
Coal Miner-

Heat D
Legacy- I'm not sure on this one.
Sarin- Mine
Gecko- Ooh, a modular bot. It's not bad.
Distributor- Custom shell is nice, but shot me it's in my heat.
Slightly MAD- The bursts irk me a hefty bit. The rest is fine
Tearaway- A nice little drum. Clean.

Heat E
Duality- Eh, it's ok
The Machine- No weapon or wedge, this can only go well..
Cruor- Well, it exists. The chassis edges just hurt
Solar Storm 4- Should do well in the heat, but it's not going to win imo.
Pure Abuse- Badger should know better
Kopter- One of the better tribars out there

Heat F:
Binary Star Systems- I'm doubting it defends the seed
Critical Mach- looks great. Enough said
Kirin 3- Messy as , but not terrible for a new builder
V2- I know it doesn't really fight well, but it's got that cool factor to it.
Murderous Beetrute- Double should knew better
Earth, Wind, and Fire- Do you remember? The 21st night of September? When this thing entered a heat and was dismembered? It's good, but the support is weird

Heat G
Catalyst- The same as before
Tsuihou- I've heard it OOTA's SHW bots, but that's with a human driver. The AI is dumb
Pandrumonium- Just a cool drum, typical of Badnik
Veorra- Spazzing out=win
Puxxgear- Hey it's the thing from BOTM
Arctic Storm Mini- That flipper is super spindly

Heat H
Pulse- Oh, hey Flatline.
Neon Light- How did Geese perfectly scale a Hw to CW? It's not fair!
Archon- Jeez this is the vert heat
Koto- Ooh a clamp, looks like a typical American build. Take that how you will.
Queen Bee II- Make the Colts cohesive and it's good
Gatecrash- Basic. Could do with better skinning/spoiler]

> Badger should know better
I knew exactly what I was doing :^)
