Basically what the title says... in this game rank 1 is dominated by spenders with tons of mythicals. This is a shame because I used to play a lot and actually enjoyed playing. It's especially bad for players who were level 30 before the new level rewards. Now the only way I could ever get back to where I used to be in this game, apart from paying (which I don't want to do) is to link gift keys to accounts and hope for a few good mythicals. Since gift keys only award silver boxes now this is even harder. I liked my time in this game. Unless I can somehow get by opening the occasional silver box from gift keys, I'll never get back. I'll stay on the forums though. Help people where they need it and stuff. I saw the new Clan Recruitment section, that looks interesting. Good luck to all new and old players in this game. I hope you don't end up where I have ended up.

One thing, though. There is always hope for any account, even if it is ruined, though. You can always get back. Use gift keys. They can give you mythicals without paying. Life as a mech is harder for a free-to-player, but it can be done.




- Spikey

I'm in the exact situation. I only have one mythical myself and that was only because of the new campaign update where you were guaranteed one.

But at the same time it's not just because of this, I just got burn't out in the end. The only thing that's keeping me here is the community, having to do mod stuff and of course my hobby which is making sprites.

I agree people are relying on mythicals to much that they are forgetting about what this game is about.

I feel your struggle Spikey. I've been there too many times. Im out of a clan at the moment so I'll slowly reach to where you are

The fact of the matter is that non-mythical mechs (even with max fusion, or even with some mythicals) will have immense difficulty being a top player. There just too many people with a lot of very good mythicals that outclass pretty much everything.

Sounds like you're in what I call "the hole". Basically a point in gameplay where no matter how good your mech is, no matter how high your fusion is, you simply cannot get back on your feet.

There will forever be hope and solutions to this problem, luckily. Here are what I've found to be useful. Anyone should be able to do any of these given enough time. and effort.

1. Key abuse. Making alternate accounts to use your own key and get the box reward. You can get 3 silver boxes every 45 days using this method. Which isn't bad, only problem is you need to play on the alternate account until it's level 30 (I think). I suggest saving the tokens you receive via achievements and leveling up to buy premium accounts. Twice the experience received, half the time it takes to get to level 30. Kinda against the rules, everyone does it anyway.

2. Invitation to a top clan (or if you have medals or some recognition or status in the community, make your own clan). Invitation is the quickest way to get mythicals. Problem is you need to be good, extremely active (like going for a medal #RyanRamos #1300Wins #400Losses) lucky, or a combination of all three. Making your own clan to get to top 3 is a... please excuse me... a hell of an endeavor. Takes a lot of time to get the perfect, most active players for the job. Note that in order to pull a top 3 you'll need at least 10,000+ wins in one week, or 455 wins per player in one week.

3. Spending money on tokens for gold boxes. Quickest, easiest, and most expensive way of getting mythicals. All circumstantial sadly, as not every player can spend large sums of money on this game. Also involves a ton of luck if you can only do micro-payments, like myself. Really comes down to how much you can spend, and when. I bought an $8 token package and got Red Rain in the first gold box, the week it came out. Helped me a lot. Still does today. If you feel like it would be a waste of money, thats your opinion. I feel like Im supporting the game and helping it develop and become better for everyone.

Good luck!

I agree with every single point you wrote WarrMachine ...

... only ...

... I am not sure if it is a good idea to animate player to "farm" boxes through gift keys with alt-accounts

You're right. Farming boxes is (kinda) against the rules. Il edit that in.

Or use /bmmdev/ to *enhance* it?

I didn't even GET a mythical even though I was at Level 30 before the new campaign update. -.-

Yep, that's what happened to me along side with any other sm players before the update. I got mine from that item box at the end and thank Jim Sterling that it wasn't a bullet/rocket module!

Seriously though, this game hates me for some reason.

Every single time I get the Silver Boxes from the Campaign mode, the mythicals I receive are only the energy / heat / bullet / rocket modules.

I have worse luck than you do.
