Who is the blastiest?
ReplyDeleteProtip: If MadScientist and Crutch76 are playing together, just drop out of the game and wait for when they're apart. You can't beat the two (friends) together.
ReplyDeleteProtip2: If you want a high rating like Grudgenaut, drop out of games right before you get killed.
both of them are my teammates
DeleteHello, I'm Alpha. BD, I have many teammates as you might know, I team with all three people you listed up there. BD what is your username in iMech online??? If you answer back, I might team with you as long as you don't kill me.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThey might be, but I'll team, even though we might be already.
DeleteThanks. I appreciate that offer.
ReplyDeleteI play solo though, I've found my angle. When you team up then I pick out your flanks.
I may get shot up but usually give as good as I take.
I'm the Mech you love to hate.
Good games everyone.
What's you username?
ReplyDeleteWeapons load slower after 8/14 update.
ReplyDeleteAre you Mike_Liotrus?
ReplyDeleteI keep getting asked that. Not me. Haha. He's not very kind.
ReplyDeletelol All he says is pwned and noob!
DeleteA few things:
ReplyDelete1. The teaming up is a problem.
2. Fiddler + Corrosive gas needs a nerf. It is n00bsauce no-talent kill stealing.
3. The ballistics favor fading too much. The practical impact is a slowing down of the game and discourages aggression.
4. Need to fix rating system to account for time in match. It is ridiculous to get -25 for getting thrown late into a match.
Archid, don't be mad that you get blasted. Fiddler + GC is a strategy, just like Electromag + shotgun. It's not a guarantee of a win. Next you'll say that gatling is unfair because the range is too far.
ReplyDeleteAnd I've learned to deal with the team ups. Just divide + conquer. Hit indiscriminately. Dang, I love this game.
BD... I'm not sure who you are, but I will address your comments.
ReplyDeleteI don't get "blasted" by that combo, but I do think those mechanics are problematic. The CD for grappling arm is low enough that you can essentially pick out an insta-kill and hide the whole match. It is different than the Electromag+shotgun because it pulls an opponent out of a fight rather than having to put yourself into the mix. This combined with the ballistics favoring fading make it very simple for someone to achieve a high K:D without much effort. I don't believe that it is objectively balanced and it is also why you have started to see more players going with it. If you look at after match stats the dmg numbers will support this.
Geistor Blink into a wall or object bug is getting more widely abused. This should be addressed as well.
True blinking into the wall is messed up, sometimes, you get past the wall out of the stadium!
DeleteI'm nobody of consequence. Just a noob!
ReplyDeleteBut a few problems I've noticed:
Sometimes the weapon selection gets stuck if you have a single item (rocket, mine) and use it. Even though depleted, the screen still shows the item and you have no weaponry until you can pick something else up.
And, every so often I must OCD check my upgrades because even though an icon may show, when I press on it, it says "No Upgrade". It seems to randomly pick out upgrades to disable.
Platform - Ouya
Do you want to team up? I don't mind teaming up with anyone. I do agree with #2, and I think Blasty_D should stop doing that.
DeleteNo. But thanks. Teaming up doesn't become right just because we agree to it. And Blasty_D can hit you from afar with other weapons too.
DeleteYou guys are a trip:
"Stop killing me" "Mods make it stop".
It's a game where you do nothing but. Check your radar & adapt.
Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteWe are looking into the issues you guys have mentioned here and we hope to have them fixed in the coming updates. Thanks for bring these issues to our attention and a special thanks for playing the game.
-Mobula Team
What's going to be in the next update?
ReplyDeleteAlso, can you add the in-game leaderboards? It doesn't work right now.
The next update is in-game leaderboards and they just went live today.
DeleteI like blasting Archid.
ReplyDeleteAs do I.
DeleteJust wait out his shield sphere and the counter strong.
How come whenever Aegis repairs his shields, it sounds like the song Love Bites from Def Leppard?
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteAfter the latest release, I can barely do any physical/fire damage. wth?
ReplyDeleteWhen you stack upgrades, does it actually do anything? Gatling Shield x4, Fire Hull x3 and I'm not making sparks on the enemy mech? Maybe lag? Is it overkill to have stacked upgrades if they don't increase the damage ability?
The upgrade to repair hull doesn't seem to do anything. I haven't tested since the latest release.
I have noticed that lag seems to be much worse. The hitboxes on myself and enemies seems much further off.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally I am being thrown late into matches much more than ever before. This is infuriating to get -25 rating for a match were there literally isn't enough time to get enough kills. This is a pressing problem.
I know some of you princesses care more about your rating than anything. The rating system is messed up so I don't care about -25. I just like taking out hi profile mechs.
DeleteJust for fun, kill PPHBOSS twice in a match. He'll drop out every time.
It's pretty screwed up when you drop 500 points in a week mostly due to late matches. Don't have a rating system if you can't fix simple things like this.
DeleteI actually don't think the upgrades work. I have the regenerate shield +1 per second, put it does nothing. Also, BD, when you have 3,000+ rating, you have to have a good ratio of at least 3 or so.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, you might be right about that.
DeleteI just thought that the effects weren't stacking, but they may just not be working at all. :(
Hi Everyone,
ReplyDeleteWe have deployed a new rating system which will take into consideration the time spent in a game and when you left.
We are checking the upgrades issue but so far the upgrades we have tested work and they also stack.
One Note is that the shield regen only works when the shield energy is greater than 0 as stated in the in game text.
Thanks for your feedback and for playing.
Thanks for the info & updates!
DeleteAppreciate the responsiveness and taking concerns seriously. Way to go! Obviously if people are complaining it's because they like the game enough to care. I have a blast playing.
DeleteThanks
That's a key point Archid.
DeleteIt's a great game. I can be very forgiving with a concept/execution like this. It will be great to see how this evolves. I love the new arena, new upgrades, new mech, etc.
~ Blasty_D
It seems like a lot is messed up now:
ReplyDeleteGatling & flamethrower rarely register damage.
Gadget claw connects maybe 30% of the time now.
I can hit fools point blank w/ rocket and no kill.
???
Hello Blasty_D. I finally get to know your name. Not just b/c I want to see my teammates, but has anyone seen Grudgenaut lately? I haven't seen him in a week and a half or so.
ReplyDeleteHey Alpha,
DeleteNice playing w/ you.
I haven't seen the Grudge-man(or woman?) either now that you mention it. Maybe offline for vacation or something.
-Blastington
Hello Alpha, Great to have you as a teammate.
ReplyDeleteCrutch76
Thanks, do you know anyone who plays iMech?
DeleteMy girlfriend plays as crutch76sgrl and son is jcrutchfield.
DeleteCool, is your son in school now? I am in 6th grade
DeleteYes sir he is. He's a senior this year.
DeleteA word about the rating system and how it's hurting your gamification.
ReplyDeleteI was in a match by myself for about half of it. A player joined. I killed him once, he left. No one joined the match. I got -25 rating.
This also happens in matches with 2-4 players. I may finish the match with 5-7 kills and still get -25 rating with no deaths.
It is essentially a penalty for playing the game when few others are on. It discourages playing b/c I know if there is not a full room then it will be very difficult to avoid a negative rating.
The time change to the rating system is an improvement, but it amounts to losing less points in some of these scenarios rather than actually rewarding someone for playing and playing well for a short period of time.
-Archid
Yeah, they should compile the rating based on total players in a session.
ReplyDeleteThat said, who cares about a rating? I'm bouncing around 3k but I don't punk out if I'm not going to get +25. As long as I'm having fun and laying the advanced blastation upon the head and hull of other big dawgs. I may not get you every time, but if I take a chunk out of your armor and make way for a n00b! to blast you then that is victory to me.
Also, The leaderboard doesn't work on Ouya. If anybody besides me cares.

ReplyDeleteI wonder how many people are playing on an iphone vs using a controller. It seems like the click and release weapons are really buggy on iPhone. I get a lot of misfires.
ReplyDeleteI play on ipad, big enough screen for me
DeleteArchid, what's your rating, mine is always somewhere from 3700-3900. I see you have leveled up too Blasty_D
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm 29 now.
DeleteAlso, Ouya players can't use the chat feature.
ReplyDeleteI'm not being a dick and not responding. I just can't. :)
This is ridiculous... I keep getting -25 rating with 0 deaths in matches of less than 4 people. I have gone from a high of 3700 to 2800 rating now. This is really annoying me to the point of not wanting to play this game.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be working on a fix to address this issue of getting -25 rating when there's a low amount of players.
Delete7 kills 0 deaths -17. I don't get it. This was in a game that everyone had left and there was no one to kill.
DeleteYou all can update these leader boards for September any time.
ReplyDeleteAlthough when a 5 + 1 round causes a -11 point drop I'm not sure I care so much about the rating system.
Have you guys noticed that once you reach a certain level that your mech gets weak? At times I can't kill anyone even if I put fire on them. Not sure if that's a way to keep scores down or a bug that needs fixing. I've played this game forever and there are guys much stronger than me but once I reached 2300 points I couldn't go higher no matter what I done. Now after months I hit 3000 and now if I have 8 or 10 kills and any deaths (even 1) I get a - in points. I see guys drop from 3500 points down to 2000 points often. I think that's why you never see some of the strong guys play anymore. Mad scientist /grudgenaut etc havnt played much at all lately. Is it because they are guaranteed to drop if they do play?
Deleterecheck you upgrades and actually click on them. I notice mine will go away randomly. The icon is there but the menu says "no upgrade". When I get weak it's because I lost some of those.
DeleteAlso the fire seems to have an effective sweet spot. If you too close (touching) it won't register damage.
I think everybody is dropping because the ratings are broken. But if that means Archid isn't playing (and usually kicking my @ss) then it's fine by me ;)
A few tips from the blastman:
ReplyDelete-Use your position to your advantage/make your position. Stay out of the open for long periods and always maneuver yourself to get your enemy pinched between you and the general public/other enemy mechs.
-You can usually dance around buildings long enough to recover your shields.
How to fight an enemy with:
-Disrupter - these are hard to connect but when a fully charged one lands it strips your armor and some hull. take a left-right (using a bit of thrusters) and not a back-forward footwork angle. keep them at a distance and firing often (not charging the disrupter is an ineffective strike). I can stay healthy all day trading shots with these guys while wailing on them with my gatling.
-Shotgun/flak cannon - people moaned about my Fiddler but there are plenty of tactics in the game that are effective. Not cheap, not illegal. Just effective. I used to hate the mechs the blink up to me and offer a hearty shotgun blast. These are easy. Get used to making a quick left or right when you see these guys/gals up close. The SG anyway has to be a dead center hit. They are usually fumbling for a reload while I'm tearing a corrosive gas mechfart.
-Electromag - when you see his bubble that just your sheild. it took his also. he has heavy hull points but work him quick and he will start sparking and get blowed up right proper.
-Gadget Claw (Fiddler) - I only ever fought one other Fiddler until I started a tactic of pulling others into my gas cloud. Now I see a bunch. Alpha - the Colonel skin? Really? But the claw isn't as clockwork as it used to be, to the devs credit. So when you get grabbed if you have a counter corrosive gas cloud ready hit it quickly and finish them with flame/machine/gatling. Or when you see the claw coming, thrust left or right.
But now sometimes I just grab other mechs to exchange positions with them (if I'm taking flak) and run off on my merry way.
Wyrm/Prediger, our 1-on-1 games were tons of fun.
SirSwish, props on 14-0 with a Taurus mech which isn't your normal rig.
When you and two other teammates all roll up on me with bootlocks that is just cheap.
If you have wondered, my upgrades are usually:
Gatling Hull damage x2
Gatling Shields damage x3
Flamethrower hull/shields x3 x2
and a few others.
I do kinda regret buying colonel fiddler, b/c I don't use him much anymore
DeleteI play on my cousin's profile sometimes. his profile's name is kenneth16622
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I'm a game boss. Or at least a mini-boss.
ReplyDeleteMy idea for a mech:
A UFO or top hat shaped floating mech (need more flying mechs!) and it's special move can be called "gravitational pull" and pull nearby mechs & items closer for a few seconds.
Remember like any move it can be an asset or a liability depending on how you use it.
Oh yeah and griefing Apple users is about the most satisfying thing in the world.
ReplyDeletegriefing?
ReplyDeleteIt was an early multiplayer game term for players being jerks. But in this game all we do pop other players, so griefing is the point.
ReplyDeleteWhich made me wonder what are our mechs fighting about anyway? Maybe there can be peace and mecherly love.
Or not.
I like to switch around with shotgun and flamethrower, but I think machine gun should shoot farther (this is kenneth16622).
ReplyDeletethat would be overpowered, so no I don't want that to happen
Delete
