disclaimer: when people bring bots up in convos i have 0 idea what they're talking about 99% of the time, and therefore i am the most qualified gamer around to discuss signature bots
orc: deadgnaws
hop: flatline, f3
kix: mad
robo: bocuma, speed demon
killer: did
sag: vespin
sev: afr
prime: saturnalia
bk: slapshot/gandora
super: phantom
you could probably add a few more people + 2nd/3rd bots for a few people but tbh my brain is dead and I cba to
also just gonna say, not having a ""signature"" bot does not make you a bad builder. some of the beat builders really don't have one imo (ruffles, arcane, neon)
discuss below (jk nobody uses the forums)

tldr: mm2 oota rules (oota is auto elim), and im probably going to run it as a single elim as the tournament since i don't think people are that interested in rg2. also the worst tourney ever retrurn in that critically damaged extender bots will be eliminated (although I'll probably still let the fight run for viewings sake) jds saturnalia wins
the bird bot, quarantine zone and karama are eliminated bracket https://challonge.com/RGS2HW

Congrats to our new tournament mod BSraven

The tournament section has been simplified to better fit with the wider hosting community, and also make it far less of a hassle to use
- Tournamenta no longer require polls or mod approval to enter sign-ups. Sign-ups will start and end at the host's discretion
- Discussion, sign-ups, and SBV's will now take place in a single tournament thread
- In-progress tournaments, discord, and all other off-site tournaments are welcomed and are fine to post here
- After a tournament has been completed, contact a mod to have the thread moved to the tournament archive section
We hope that this will encourage people to start posting their off-site tournaments on gtm, and also make it easier for new potential hosts to get a start with hosting

flat motors are cancer and are partially responsible for why verts are so strong. it's far too easy to build a dual vert with no compromises compared to perms/eteks.
top hinges are also cancer and are far more powerful than their burst motors suggest
thanks for listening to my ted talk. feel free to argue in the comments

Following recent discussions, Orc has been promoted to admin.
We wish him the best in handling GTM's future.

Short and sweet: 09 and I have no longer have interest in being a part of the active administration are probably gonna join hoppin in the river
If you want to step up, then now's your time. I've asked numerous people who are well respected and upstanding members of the community and they've all said no. y'all love to contribute opinions on where this site should be heading, so now's you're chance lead it there yourself. also, 09 and I will probably remain on temporarily to assist with the basics of editing the forum until the new admin/s can get the hang of things (or you can just ping one of us when you want stuff done, that'll probably be easier for everyone)
If nobody suitable wants to take the positions, then we'll probably just give it to kix since he was the only one who said yes ( not that he was given a serious offer)

Effective immediately, polls are no longer required to start a tournament
they really make no sense with the current setup of the tournament section, and anyone can already just host in the personal tournament section and skip the entire approval system
Yes the entire tournament system could use a revamp, however it's not as easy as it seems as we don't want to make it too restrictive and scare what few tournaments we have left into hosting off-site. the main goal would probably be to encourage off-site hosts into opening their tournaments up to the gtm community.

it's been talked about for awhile so might as well get it over with
100% getting added :
-Colored typhoons and beaters
-Colored bars
-Colored drums
-Centered betas
-the correct skinned frenzy hammers
things already released but open for discussion:
- dsl 2.3 npcs
- non-damaging wedglets (technically not permanently released, but I've sent them to like 5 people so)
- mine/kix's colored mini wheels
- whether or not we should restore the colored beaters to the default 2.2 level or use the default beater buff
- locked npc motors
- disk covers
- include redace's AI pack
things that haven't been publicly released but shown:
- wedgelet fix to make them 30cm
- separating wedglets into non-damaging wedges and damaging chisels with a blunt edge
- updated teeth col meshes
- updated omni with improved srimech detection
- remove edge damage from replica disks (technically they'd be classed as having 1 normal so they should get a x2 buff but obviously that's not gonna happen)
- give steel and ti 1, 3, 5 their correct strength values
yes, it'll cause issues with people not updating their game, but we already have this issue en mass anyways

Hoppin has chosen step down from the GTM staff team

pro gamer strat: make ti and steel 5 weigh more than plastic 10 while being weaker  fyi, armor efficiency is supposed to increase with weight also i checked, and it's not an issue unique to the complete edition. somehow this is probably toxic hop's fault
58
« on: August 28, 2019, 06:51:54 PM »
we now have a dedicated section for the most commonly used 2.2 mods. currently it's missing a few things like the centered betas, and things that are already included with the complete edition (which needs a major update)
Also, don't upload the AS balance patch. we've had too many issues with people making mods with it unknowingly installed (the colored frenzy hammers in CE, colored beaters, etc)

who can use it? cus sev and hoppin sure do

« on: August 03, 2019, 05:19:57 AM »
did some testing on how equal the current teeth limits are
for reference, the test bot has double strength steel 10 as i didn't want fights lasting 15 seconds, motors are two perms.
as always, this isn't a 100% realistic representation. your results may vary based on your motor choice, weapon setup, total spinning mass, if you've installed the AS' """"balance"""" patch, and if you're TOXIC like hoppin
here's the full results. this is TTK and not points btw

conclusion: i think 4 large/6 small is fairly balanced as 4 larges have more total hp, but 6 smalls have maybe up to around 10% higher dps. 8 smalls would definitely be pushing it.
8 beaters still doesn't match the damage output of typhoons even when patched. that being said i don't think they're a completely non-viable choice. 8 beaters have 20000 hp vs the 16000/12000 of typhoons, and from my testing are pretty effective at de-weaponing them (assuming you don't lose your disk/drum setup). also most hosts will probably let you spam more than 8 since they aren't toxic typhoons and that's all people really care about tbh
micros should probably be regulated on the same level as 4 larges/6 smalls. they are technically less dps, but the difference is very small and each disk only weighs 35kgs while also having 7000 hp. they did have a tendency to jam due to my test cage and their large size, but i don't think the impact is that severe on the results, and i don't think that theyd be faster than 6 smalls
idk what's going on with ripping teeth. i know my disk setup probably isn't optimal but still, they have a really sh** collsion mesh/normals
there's a few other components that might be worth checking (the heavy ds tooth, minion disk, cutting teeth
thanks for listening to my ted talk. btw kix sucks at csgo
