I thought Erwin was the first 12* SM, I don't remember this one appearing Grün Shinobi assassin, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

2 upgrades to go on thermal, and I'm bored out of my skull with this one, for some reason on the euro server the next chapter opens at 10pm, not really a euro time zone friendly, it's running at a schedule more suited to Australia where it would open at 9am

I normally skip them too for the same reasons, this time I got distracted and clicked without revealing the base by accident :roll: but I have seen bases look like this and some with even more changes that were NOT hidden, so either SF is so screwed up that major graphics modifications occur at rand...

I don't think so, I think it's meant to increase use of consumables.

I'd never noticed it before on hidden bases, but I think it would explain it although it would have been time better spent fixing bugs than adding effects most will never see.

I'm seeing a lot of hidden bases now, more than there used to be, but that could be server dependent too.

Since when were we able to customise our bases??? Not surprisingly this ones a hidden base too. Cough, cough, GameLoft...

I don't think it's unintentional, new SM's 'should' be created from a template then tweaked, this one has a new set of behaviours.

Noted this a few times over the last couple of days, the cook assassin 'Trinity' has weird behaviours all related to barrage. I've had it stand right in front of me and get barraged but no effect, then move to the right hand side of me out of aiming field, other things like barraging it and it's cov...

I've managed to get scope and mag fully upgraded with stability at 4 & thermal at 2, tested on my base with 95% exotic boost and the right affinity and again it can take out a grey drone but barely scratches an 11* SM, and barrage with it is pretty low damage considering. I'm joint lowest on sco...

Stage 2 - not much changed as you will see from the screens below, PvP damage up to 75% from 50%, apart from that nothing I can see changed, gold and XP still at +75%...

And a third, keyboard stopped working, right when your in PvP, quickly checked in notepad all keys actually working fine just no response in-game, needed to restart game.

Additional info, opened a pack and played chapter 1 mission 4 again, helios taking 5 shots, so it would seem the helio missions on levels are hard coded for shots required. This time just for giggles ands to get info in advance I used two 24 hour deputies to collect parts, still got almost 2 days to...

Chapter 10 done, threw some rubies at it to get the info, mission 1 you WILL need slo-mo's for this helio mission, they move to fast and take up to 9 shots to kill, with snipers taking 3 also just cannot take them out quick enough with reloads being required. Tried on my base and woeful, took out 1 ...

Two thing noticed recently; 1. Protectors can turn their beams on each other again if there are 2 selected for defence, this was apparently stopped some time ago as it lead to unwinnable PvP matches. 2. 'Redux' spec ops have gone AWOL, haven't came across one for a couple of weeks now and I run a lo...

Chapter 8 completed, and what a smegger it is, 8 shots for a helio 3 for a sniper/RPG and all of those are faster moving than normal, if you need to reload to shot the sniper - your dead! :o First chapter I've used barrage in but beware, the reload on kill holo doesn't work here so you get one shot ...
