[SC] Frost Hitac analysis

Quote from ASTRAEA: Ice Portal
This is a consumable item with one single load. When used it spawns a Super Ice Meteoroid close to the user. It can only be used in regular company maps: x-3 up to x-8, and on 4-1 through to 4-5. It has a cooldown of 30 minutes.

When will this appear and how can we get it?

 

Probably will appear during the Ice Meteoroid event on Friday and I presume it will be in payments option, like that ghost thing during Halloween.

 

it's one of the hitac rewards

if as RΣŦÙЯП-ΦF-§ŦЯЇŇG§HØŦ suggests this 'Ice Portal x 10' is only a prize and not for sale then they are missing a trick , and I doubt that ... why put the tab for everyone when it could be given as a 'gate' to the 10 players...

 

What tab are you referring to?

LOL, so glad you admit the UFE portion.

 

HiTac rewards Cannon fodders

 

LOL with each change I see more grounds for pushing hmmm......So UFE will fight over hitac where when you pop a player multiple times in a map that becomes grounds for pushing regardless of time between each pop....Let the crazies pop each other till they get banned for pushing then you can enjoy the rest of hitac.

I further confirmed pet cannot collect hitac boxes and I picked up a lot of letters long after hitac was destroyed so I could focus on hitac. It seems like letters take a long time to disappear. I didn't have much luck collecting mothership capsules but turned in 2 sets of letters.

 

I would suggest don't bother with Hitac. Its kinda a long shot to miraculously get 30 lf4. Palla, box and cube.

Perhaps Hitac events could have a no drone damage period for the whole event, like Spaceball, so people crazy (or determined) enough could keep doing it.

Good luck with Hitac though

 

PSKSUNDANCE there is a tab in the dropdown, from hotkeys, for 'CPU's'... (next door to the ghostifier tab...)

good idea TheShadows especially as soo many non UFE and non MCC get shot down to keep them at heel during events such as most events these days (seems another player may be leaving since MCCs are not properly regulated)

xuhu99 please post the words only and not the grid (=flood)... but ty for your analysis all the same

 

There are 112 awards in total, I'd be satisfied with the 111 other rewards. But you are right that getting any elite equipment is hard. Since hitac spawns at predictable intervals of x:15,x:30,:45 you can plan multitasking while waiting. During that time you can pally, box, npc etc. I also noticed turning down graphics helps a lot because i'm able to deal more damage to mothership which is indicated by increasing uri rewards. Also I calculated the uri/hp ratio is almost as good as cubikon for minions. Having no drone damage would definitely be a positive move for the duration of the event.

 

Yesterday and today I brought up my lottery ticket count from 6 to 25 and I lost track of how many came from capsule directly and how many from letters. School was snowed out for me on friday which was nice cause I had senior midterms. People were also less aggressive today.
