so here's how weapons are balanced in 2.2
first, we have the efficiency formula of 50000+(1000*mass). mass is the weight of the weapon.
This formula determines the weight-efficiency creep of weapons [i.e., why heavier weapons have better dp/hp to kg than lighter weapons]. Heavier weapons have a higher number, and thus higher efficiency. a 7kg razor has 57000, a 70kg sledgehammer has 120000.
DP and HP is extracted from the result of the previous formula via Efficiency=DP*HP/mass, and is adjusted within a range of +/-40% 1:1 with each other. for example, a razor's base formula is 57000=285dp*1400hp/7kg. after adjustments it ends up as 399dp and 1000hp (a dp/hp ratio of 1.4 or 40%).
DP from what I can see is DP=(200*p)+(100*c) rounded. p is piercing, c is concussion.
Next we have normal multipliers. These give a DP boost of either x1.2 or x2 based on the amount of normals a component has. weapons with less than two recieve a x2, two or more receive a x1.2.
for example, a mechavore disk has a base dp value of 510, a dp-hp ratio of 1.12, and 4 normals giving it a 1.2x multiplier
if you multiply 510 by 1.12, and then again by 1.2 you'll end up with 685.44, the listed dp value in 2.2
The main issues with this system are the weapons that are classed as 1.5 having normals. These get a x2 boost despite being far more easy to use than weapons with single point(1) normals. This is the reason things like typhoon and ripping teeth have such high DP, they're getting a x2 bonus for something that should've been reserved for things such as spikes. despite what some may think, rep disks only receive a x1.2 for their normals.
The exception to this rule are the various axe heads, frenzy hammer, and overkill blade. These get a x2 due to their use case as hammer weapons, despite having two or more normals.
there's a few other things that goes into 2.2, but I'm typing this on a phone and it really sucks so maybe next time.

Hey gamers
We're considering unbanning lra2 from the forums. We've let him back into the GTM discord, and his behavior has improved compared to how he has been in the past. He has also been relatively fine in other communities.
Vote on whether you think we should welcome him back the the forums. The decision at the end of the day comes down to the admins, but I would like to see where people stand in the matter.

Hey gamers, new system.
Post what theme/meta/gimmick (or no gimmick) you would like to see for the upcoming BOTM, then towards the end of the month we'll put all the sensible ideas into a poll, and then everyone votes on which theme/meta they like the best.
If nobody posts any ideas, then August's BOTM will be decided by staff.

I'll be hosting it this month in Dragonfire's absence. As such, we'll try a few changes to see if we can bring a little more interest than previous belts. You have until 23nd of May to send me a bot if you wish to compete. Anyone is allowed to enter regardless if they've had a challenge in the past 3 months.This month we'll be doing Ironforge MW: Middleweight weight limit (200kg)
IF-Standard
You can use up to four ballasts without it affecting your weight
No RA2CF, BFE, AAM, etc.
Rule of 7 break is not allowed
SNS cannot use melty-brain AI
Crawlers are not permitted
No cheatbot2 components
Multibots are not allowed
Custom AI will be permitted, however it cannot do anything that a human-controlled robot cannot do.
Robots must show controlled movement
Arena will be the GTMCS 2 Arena.
2:00 match time
If things go to plan and staff stops being lazy the winner will also receive a special award they can display on their profile using the new awards system. glhf

Simple question, which one do you think of as "being GTM"?
Just curious considering a lot of people feel that the forum offers very little feedback and conversation compared to something like discord.
Also wondering in regards to where you guys feel we should be focusing on in the future with upcoming changes. Dont worry, neither one will be neglected regardless of the results.

From talking with a few people it seems there might be some willing to give this a try.  If you've ever used the DSL 3 beta you'll know that the offset AP was fixed by having a single motor model with attachment points on both sides. These never made it into 2.2 as it would have interfered with 2.1 bot compatibility. To avoid this, the older NPC motors are set to cheatbot2 and the updated motors are technically a new component, so current DSL 2.1/2.2 robots should be 100% compatible. The updated motors however are not backwards compatible as they are technically a new component. The updated motors are a different shade to help differentiate. Credit to Clickbeetle for fixing them in the DSL 3 beta. Back your files up in case something goes wrong/I messed up somewhere.

This should go without saying, but when connecting with another member through Parsec or any another streaming software please have the respect to not vandalize or snoop through their files without permission. This is a potentially ground breaking piece of software for RA2, and the last thing anyone wants is for it to be ruined by another superduperultramega.py.
Only host with members you trust not to overextend their welcome, and make sure to report any suspicious behavior to a member of staff. On Parsec you can disable all remote control with a hotkey (Ctrl+F2) until you are ready to fight.
Foul play over any streaming service will more than likely result in an indefinite/permanent ban.

Since we're nearing the 1 year mark of the first official tournament, we might as well at least discuss the prospect of a sequel.
Discuss what metas, format, or pretty much any ideas you'd like to see. Currently we have absolutely zero planning or preperations done right now, so you're ideas are as good as ours.
I know the last GTMCS left a bad taste in the majority of entrants, so please come forward with what you think would make the tournament a bigger success. Alternatively, feel free to state why you think we shouldn't host another official tournament or if we should look into another form of an official league.
