hey man, i need help with something. I cant bind a key for " select welder " (the tool to repair steve). I rebinded keys for other stuff which worked well, but not for this one, in fact it wont appear anymore while i play, not even by scrolling down the weapons and tools.

[Sharky]

oh yeah! Good work.

[XXMessi^]

nice

Bonus gears for every game you win = more incentive for elite premades to group up

[Sinora]

Is there not an event progress thing like every other event? Or has it not been put in yet?

The post states that there is an event bar for treasures, and the bundle includes bonus progress for said event bar. It's not put in yet. The event isn't fully functional, I didn't get any gears for the game I just played.

We're having some issues with servers in the 'North America East' region - other regions are running fine. Looking into it atm.

Thanks and great work fixing the biggest issue with Haywire 2.0, guys. Glad to see some improvements to the game. That said, these repeated events that are nothing but a select few skins are getting really boring, and I said it last year, too. I get the need to have a good chunk of events with just skins, especially now when the game is so old, but at the same time, I feel like the skins are all the same style. I don't really like to use all the robot or alien or dragon skins and we haven't gotten a good selection of realistic skins for sharks in ages, and because of that Lemon and Copper don't even have albino skins, and this is finally lemon's second skin after the shadow dragon (which is still pay to win) skin, which is also good, but couldn't it have been something that isn't equally silly?
Silly skins are fine, but as someone who enjoys playing lemon it's annoying that my options for skins have went from default or pay to win dragon to default, pay to win dragon, and robot shark skin #4. The original three sharks prove you can have plenty of reasonable skins without making them duplicates, the original skin packs were all unique and up until the zombie hammerhead were all at least reasonable realistic, so I just don't see why we can't get a few of those types of skins for other sharks. The only shark to get a realistic skin since the release of subclasses is the copper, who only got it relatively recently if I recall, and if you want to consider the albinos realistic, the blue (though personally I hate these skins as well because they unsurprisingly stick out like a sore thumb) and in total those sharks have, if I recall off the top of my head, seven skins across three sharks. The shark with the next fewest skins is I believe goblin (I am not familiar with the goblin skins because none of the skins for it are particularly nice looking to me other than the base one), which I am almost positive has at least seven skins to itself, while these three get seven to their name. I should mention of those, three of them are blue skins.
I think we all questioned the addition of subclasses to begin with, but... They're here to stay, and frankly I think they deserve more love than they're getting if we're gonna have to live with them. There's only three of them, and they have very few skins, if we're not gonna get more subclasses at least give us something for the ones that already exist.

So just had a 6 diver vs 2 shark blood and gold match and I only qued for haywire. lol

[psychological]

nvm i fixed my issue :)

[KingJackaL]

We have removed a machine from North America East, and are currently beating it into submission. In the meantime, have replaced it with a new machine and matches are back up and running now in that region.

[Sinora]

So how exactly do you get the gears? I've won matches in both haywire and blood and gold neither have given any gears. Several wins of each.

We're going to work on making these more obvious - we didn't get an end-game scoreboard popup in on time. For example, I just had a look and you've got 17 Gears so far.

Excellent! Thank you for listening and keeping the movement like it is in Blood and Gold.
