True, but I checked with Hazel Rah and he said he doesn't intend to change that mechanic because allowing flags to be picked up again opens up the "tank train" strategy where a bunch of players go one after the other and if one dies, the next picks up the flag. I don't see anything wrong with it now that the new ODs are out, but for some reason Hazel still thinks it's OP.

Forget I said this. I just played a battle of ASL on Massacre, for red team. Besides the part where it's a completely rubbish map (and I have no idea why Hazel loves it so much that he keeps trying to fix it instead of removing completely), the enemy team had 3 Hunters and 1 or 2 Dictators. I attacked the base with the flag maybe 7 or 8 times. Every time I came close to the base, I got disabled by a Hunter, which obviously made the flag return making the run completely useless even if I survived getting disabled. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Now I know Hazel might say "well, you should have used Viking to take out the enemy Hunters from a distance", but come on - not everyone has Viking or likes the way it moves, and its OD takes way too long to charge. Pls nerf.

Unlikely. If this concept proves to be unpopular/unbalanced, the map will probably be removed completely. But if it's playable, then things like island size, amount of obstacles, number of islands, spawn points, etc. might be adjusted.

If you look at the enemy team, their setup is pretty much the same as yours. So based on this screenshot alone, looks like MM did a pretty good job of balancing team strength, and it was either the mistakes of the top 3 players or pure bad luck that caused you to lose. As for why they don't leave - their overall K/D is around the same as in this round, so for them this is just a normal battle and not something to get frustrated about. If you want to share screenshots, please use the TPotD topic or the one Viking4s linked. Closed.

It's a good idea and I've played other games where this is a thing, but keep in mind that, like with all things that benefit the player economically, implementing this would cause some other kind of reward to be reduced.

Archipelago is an experimental map, so it will most likely undergo changes in the future.

You need way more than that for it to be a good record. I'd say a minimum of 20 battles.

Ramming? Unless there's some kind of secondary meaning to this, I don't understand how it can be used when ramming another tank. I think you missed an important limitation that with this alt the turret will not be able to go below 25 degrees. Although what I can see people doing is standing on some tilted surface (bridge or ramp) so that their turret is aimed level with the ground, and aiming so that it fires at a specific spot all the time.

You know what, I'm calling it Valid. Gauss snipe deals a hefty amount of damage, so it makes sense to give at least a bit of a warning. It's even better if that warning doesn't provide a direction (unlike Striker or Shaft), but instead simply tells you that you're being targeted, such as a flashing light and alarm sound.

Status changed to Valid

Another serious issue is that the pass mechanic in Rugby is pretty much useless. I mean, if you throw it forwads while going full speed on Wasp, it literally doesn't even fly further than your own tank! I personally think that an increase of the throw power is long overdrue, especially if a map like this is to be added in RGB.

Interesting concept. I feel like it would be extremely frustrating though, so I wouldn't use it. I'd rather have lower damage and more shots, than fewer shots with huge damage which are difficult to land and frustrating if you miss. Also might be OP in some specific situations (like ASL red team), but on the other hand alterations as a whole exist to make your turret more effective in specific gameplay scenarios.

Hmmm, it's such a curious coincidence that Mammoth, Viking and Titan are your most used hulls, besides Dictator, which you probably used for catching golds before ODs came out...

Please fill out this form and wait for a response from tech support. Closed.

Most of these are pretty cool, though it would be more interesting to see original alteration ideas, rather than just adapted copies of existing alts from other turrets. Although that would be quite hard considering that Gauss itself is just a combination of a bunch of other turrets' mechanics and isn't particularly original.

I don't have time to calculate now, but is your reward at least 87.5% of the current record?

You won't get banned for using quotes correctly. If it's a short message (like your message I'm quoting here, or perhaps up to 6 lines long), then you can just quote the whole thing. Also, if you want to respond to just part of a message, you can quote it and then manually delete the extra text, only leaving the part you actually want to respond to. Quoting only becomes a problem when you quote a huge post (like an announcement or article) when you only wanted to add a short reply. And even then we never directly ban for it - we just edit the post to remove the big quote. So all in all, it would be much better if you used quotes and put all your responses in one post instead of making 3-4 posts in a row, because that is actually spam.

Are any virtual rewards worth any amount of real money? It's a very subjective question. If a person finds that the thrill of opening containers and getting rewards is greater than the enjoyment they could get from spending the $10000 on anything else, then it's worth it. For most people that will not be the case, so they would rather spend it on something useful, or at least a different kind of entertainment. If your only goal is to get a skin, then containers are absolutely not worth it, since even 1000 of them does not guarantee an exotic item due to the randomness of the rewards. But you shouldn't look past the massive amounts of supplies, crystals, paints and other goodies you can get from them, so if your goal is to get a bit of everything, then containers are probably the right thing for you.

You do it way too often. It would be better for everyone if you put all responses in one post and used the quote feature to help people understand who you're responding to (and also to send them a notification).

Yep, I agree. If Viking could still shoot fast while stopped, it would lose its only major counter-OD.
