Dev team you just sucks. Equilibrate the game MUST be your first priority, and you let that kind of non-sense happens, and that long - the best sword in the game weaker than legs... Seriously?

I've a lot of exemples like that, but since I'm not paid to do YOUR job, paid by US, I highly recommand you do your job.

Seriously, stop treating us like idiots and act in a profesional way if you don't want to see all regular players just quit.

First off, edited for language.
Now as I see this game now it is actually pretty well balanced but they are continuing to work on it. Balancing a game is by far an overnight process. Every little tweak you make is going to affect something else tenfold. Let's take the swords for example, before they were generally overpowered and many complained about people that used two swords now that has been fixed. Before you say they should do more damage than legs I believe every sword has an added bonus that legs do not (heat damage, electricity damage, large knockback).

You obviously don't play the game then...

There are swords like this. This is an epic item, yet it doesn't do as much damage as the set of legs you can buy for this level does... so what use is it?

I have an energy sword equipped to my build now, but I rarely ever use it. I find if I need to deplete an energy shield I can teleport and stomp and that does the trick or gets it low enough for my other weapons to then take the shield down. If I teleport and use my sword I then allow myself to get stomped, which right now is one of the strongest weapons in the game (discounting some legendary weapons).

I even have level 18 legs equipped to my level 22 build because they're strong enough to cope with the higher levels

I would like some more feedback from the devs though on what they're doing... I mean they've just made single player practically impossible for players who have completed it to play now, when I don't think there was a single complaint about the single player before. Why aren't they solving the complaints they're getting, and when they do, giving us clear information on why it has been changed (or hasn't been changed). Then start working on other things like changing the single player so they can work on another whole set of complaints again.

We are working on balancing the game daily.

give us some more time, and you'll see that things get better

Always happy to hear about items or tweaks you recommend.
upgrading swords damage is our next priority

Cheers!

the fact is korupt doesn't play this game very much, yet here he is trying to say that the game is more balanced than it was before. i honestly doubt he's played 50 games in the new system and 500 games total. korupt i'm sorry but you do not have the right to say the game is more balanced and try to overrule what people are saying that play like 60+ matches a day. The fact is back then the game was completely balanced, a noob could rise to the top very quickly and easily now it will take forever to get the things that elite players have now. Another thing is right now swords are completely underpowered. the gold swords are worthless having 1 or 2 extra knockback really isnt anything if you have a well built build, the silver sword is completely worthless. i'm sorry but today is nothing even close to balanced, the game used to be easy for anyone to rise to the top like i myself did.

You have no idea the amount I play and to make an assumption based on nothing and use that as some sort of argument against me would tend to make me believe you don't have much to counter what I say. As someone that studied game development and design I have a pretty good idea what balance is in a game and in this case I can provide an unbiased opinion.The game before was nowhere near balanced and a noob could not just instantly make it to the top. As soon as you passed level 20 you were chum in the water for the sharks. Why do you think so many people have multiple accounts? They came out of that somewhat shielded time to face mechs that completely dominated them. They stood no chance. SM is constantly improving and evolving in hopes of finding a strong future and with the direction it is currently heading it will have a VERY strong future. Whether you believe it or not SM is doing better now than it was before the update. Issues are being addressed and the devs are continuing to improve SM, what more can you ask for? It is not nor will it ever be an overnight change to make it the best game in the world, if it was everyone would be able to succeed in gaming careers.

Its safe to say that swords used to be over powered. But now they are underpowered. Im sure they will fix this in time. The age of no swords in beta is neigh

As Michael already said increasing swords damage is their next priority.

Okay korupt:

Before update noobs were being dominated at level 20-23. Now noobs are being dominated 15-30. On the old update at least noobs could take a look at the builds and actually build them to jump start themselves. I have to say anyone coming in from level 15-29 now have NO chance of doing well. You have players fighting at level 15 with legendary builds. Then level 22 with legendary builds. Then level 30. That covers every possible level range after level 15 and any noob coming in to these brackets can't do anything to even counter it, however much he tries to learn the game, because the items boxes are all down to chance. How is that possibly balanced?

Also if you do play what is your level, how many wins do you have and what level does your build fight at?
