Nope. Try to resend if you can, or through PM.

Tungsten is blue ??

Is the jagged side the side that is supposed to hit the other bot? Or is it either way.

Looks awesome! Will you be publicly releasing this and just letting the winner use it in the next ELBITE or will only the winner get the actual component?

Gigafrost · « **Reply #326 on:** December 19, 2008, 11:26:46 AM »

@Nar- I got the idea from madiaba. Keep in mind that this is pure metal, so I exaggerated it to have a blue luster, as a greenish one will look too plain.

@Somebody - It can work either way, and the jagged side is a tad more effective, but in this vid, i was rushing. The blades "front" is really the smooth side though.

@Manmanu - This weapon will be in the release of RA2GE: LU, but other than that, only the winner and myself will have the weapon at their disposal. That winner will then be able to use it in the next ELBITE (much like Clickbeetle's BBEANS).

1.6 piercing and 1.6 concussion = about 454 DP. Times 10000 HP, divided by 25 kgs equals... 181,696 efficiency. So the Holy Jagged Blade is more than three times as good as regular DSL weapons (which are balanced at 60,000 efficiency).

I guess that's one way to give people incentive to use it. I think you could still do with slightly less damage though.

Nice looking weapon in any case.

When can we expect the splash-type-thing?

Gigafrost · « **Reply #329 on:** December 22, 2008, 12:35:58 AM »

@ Click - Thanks! Yeah, I admit that I got a little too happy with it's HP. I hoped to balance it out by making it a bit heavy for it's size. It takes a bit to do controlboard damage (As you can see), But it lasts a good while.

@Somebody - Once I get everyones bots, or a decent amount for that matter. I will showcase it.

I'm starting on each bot individually however.

Somebody · « **Reply #330 on:** December 22, 2008, 07:57:38 AM »

Okay cool thanks.

Naryar · « **Reply #331 on:** December 22, 2008, 08:06:07 AM »

For Christmas maybe?

Anyways, i won't upgrade my tabletop entry. Consider my bots as finished and ready Giga.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #332 on:** December 22, 2008, 11:00:53 AM »

Hmm... Ok i have 6 people left that have to submit entries. I think I can probably do it and then add them on if necessary. Christmas is probably what Im pushing for btw.

Gig, is it alright if I change my entry?

Gigafrost · « **Reply #334 on:** December 24, 2008, 10:07:11 AM »

you have 3 changes left. go for it.

*Huh, I missed this cause of no electricity*

Real nice color selections, Gig. Final component looks awesome.

I'm trying my best to submit my entry, but its so hard for me these days to do anything RA2. I barely have anytime for the computer itself, but I really want to be a part of this tourney. I will try to accommodate orderly.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #337 on:** December 26, 2008, 05:25:28 PM »

No worries Inf, you still have some time. I will wait until you are ready so i can start the splash :)

Reier · « **Reply #338 on:** December 27, 2008, 12:07:08 PM »

Hey Gig, can I have a few days to get my new entry in? I only need a day or 2.
