Ugh, I'm fed up with the SPAM and pointless speculation in this thread. Closed till further notice. PM a mod if you have some important information.

Great update from the WBBA Development Diary with nice pictures of the Basalt Wheel.
Although apparently the Basalt Wheel is not balanced... :\
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - Aquilaz112 - Jan. 14, 2011
Hey,Wait a minute isnt basalts weight focused on the outside
so it may be good for stamina
and why isnt it balanced may i ask
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - KaizerMFB - Jan. 14, 2011
oh look....they're showing a pre testing of it.....

Hm...I wonder why....
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - Aquilaz112 - Jan. 14, 2011
ya i didnt see that
anyway if it is not balanced then wont it be out of control so it may be baalanced by giving hollow material in all the other places but thick material over there
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - arkboy - Jan. 14, 2011
my japanese is non exsistant, but from the sounds of it they are saying the weight isn't balanced because of the downward 'staircase' design on the inside of the metal wheel.
however they seem to mention something about that being a good thing O__o"
anyone who can read it elaborate?
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - Aquilaz112 - Jan. 14, 2011
just translate it with google translate
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - arkboy - Jan. 14, 2011
i did, lol, but google translate is terrible. All you get is a bunch of gobbledy gook.
"This shape is deliberately broke the weight balance Uiru
It's a common sense, but what upset so far,
Eccentricity design performance counter is actually produce super strong! !"
that is google's attempt at translation. see what i mean?

I always saw it as anime related, same goes with the missing III.
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - Kai-V - Jan. 14, 2011
Basalt being so 'unbalanced' could actually provide quite a lot of flywheel effect, possibly.
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - th!nk - Jan. 14, 2011
Yeah, but wouldn't that mess it up if you're using it on 230, especially with RS's balance issues?
I'm pretty disappointed right now
Still, the clear 145 and WD look cool, and I'm sure dyers will love them.
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - ShadowZoroark - Jan. 14, 2011
Then if Basalt wheel is unballanced then would the Gill wheel become useful?....
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - arkboy - Jan. 14, 2011
We won't really know how the balance thing will affect it until testing is done, so there's no point speculating too much now.

If I'm not mistaken, according to the paragraph on that page, the purpose of the unbalanced Wheel is to allow Basalt to 'violently' rebound Attacks.

That seems feasible, thanks for the update Diamond!
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - arkboy - Jan. 14, 2011
thanks for the update! so maybe this will be good as a counter then, beef the weight up to reduce recoil etc.
defo buying this when it comes out.
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - Flosal - Jan. 14, 2011
Thanks alot for the pictures. So thats what Saigo and JAEMS identified as the "spiral staircase of death", this wheel should somehow come in handy. However, if Basalt does have the flywheel effect and be unbalanced, how will that affect stamina?
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - ShadowPegasis - Jan. 15, 2011
They probably made it unbalanced for another reason. Possibly so that it's not another Libra?

In other words wobble back for a counter contact.
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - Blaze Wheeler - Jan. 15, 2011
I wish I could have a Broken Metal Wheel, that can still spin, so I could test how unbalanced Metal Wheels spin.
I'm REALLY liking Basalt, though.
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - Night - Jan. 15, 2011
Woah, look at how it overhangs. There are no big dents like Rock or Earth.

This means I think there is another reason behind making it unbalanced. So that the weight distribution is bad.
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - Night - Jan. 15, 2011
Not saying you're wrong, heck, you might be right but I think Diamond's idea seems more efficient to me. I get where you're coming from though, but I'm not exactly sure if that was the main purpose.

(Jan. 15, 2011 1:53 AM)ShadowPegasis Wrote: This means I think there is another reason behind making it unbalanced. So that the weight distribution is bad.Weight distribution is still on the outside, just not on the whole circumference. Having one strong point of weight far from the centre while rotating still gives a lot of flywheel effect.
RE: BB-104 Basalt Horogium 145WD - Serotonin - Jan. 15, 2011
The gimmick looks cool, but I can't help but feel this was also intentionally designed to limit Basalt's capabilities. Looking at the underside of the Wheel, this is literally a circular block of pure metal; it looks invincible. This is the only unique feature which would suggest otherwise, haha.
