Yes. When I was using the module, I could have the whole enemy team shooting at me and it barely did any damage. Even multiple Vikings with overdrive would take out maybe 30% of my health. But a single Hornet with OD could easily destroy me. A Shaft+Hornet with Booster can literally one-shot a juggernaut with the god module. The only thing that helps is lifesaver drone.

Especially considering that it completely breaks the whole idea of Godmode_ON and things like "mutant snowmen" events, since Hornet's OD can just casually ignore the "godly" 99% protection module ?

From what I understand, if the mines belong to you or your teammate, then they all load simultaneously. And since mines are multi-polygon models, having thousands of them rendering and processing at once does impose huge loads onto the system. For enemy mines though it works much better since only nearby mines are visible. You can still get lag and FPS drops though if hundreds of mines are placed in a small area next to you, causing them all to be rendered. Ideally the game should me more efficient at dealing with large amounts of polygons and only render what's necessary, but in reality such issues only happen in public parkour battles or special events like mine labyrinths, so it's definitely not worth rebuilding the whole game engine for the sake of such a specific issue. Although it will definitely become relevant if they keep increasing the number of polygons with these Ultra skins.

Tag colours finally updated, so they're back to pretty much what they were before the forum update.

Perhaps you missed the update but mechanic recently got a huge buff and now gives massive amounts of score for using it with teammates nearby. Also has a feature where it instantly reloads by activating other supplies, and combined with dictator it's possible to get thousands of score in 7 minute battles. It's nice that it gives score now but the amount is extremely unbalanced.

Defender is OP now compared to other drones (besides Mechanic of course), so it's no surprise people use it. I'm sure it will get a nerf in the next balance update.

It's probably because people choose protection over damage, which is a bit strange because it's typically the other way around. But if you think about it, every kind of protection in Tanki has a corresponding countermeasure that increases damage: Defender drone - Booster drone Modules - Hornet's overdrive Viking's overdrive - Titan's overdrive Repair kit - hunter's overdrive So overall I don't think camping and fat hulls are particularly powerful these days. You can deal with them quite easily if you use the right equipment. Being able to afford and use it though - that's another story.

We tried to make our own christmas tree during the photoshoot ?

Yeah, I'd be impressed if someone managed to get 8 low rank friends to each buy a PRO pass in order to set this up in a private battle. I might as well give them the record regardless, because it's either an impressive coincidence in MM, or way too much effort to fake something like that ?

Perhaps

The Snowman event. I had it too, in the pics above that you "liked" ?

I think there was a misunderstanding and the topic ended up being lost. And it's a bit late to post one now.

Yeah, the only hacks I see these days are occasional jumpers on gold boxes, which aren't much more of an issue than typical lags. Even other violations like sabotage are not that common - mostly people are just bad at the game.

Since it's a suggestion for a recent change, I'd suggest it to be posted in the news topic instead. Oh wait, we don't have one Yeah I guess this one stays.

Happy New Year to everyone! P.S. forum mods did it better Closed

Happy holidays and have a great year! ?

Turns out, Mammoth still got it when it comes to catching golds ?

Fair enough, for weekly missions it's a bit of an issue. But at the same time it's meant to be quite hard in order to provide enough of a challenge, though it is indeed probably just best to remove it from weekly missions.

Cool record, though I think we'll just have to archive the current one. Also, there's no way to prove this was a standard battle and not a set-up you did in a PRO battle with friends, so for that reason the record should probably be allowed to do in a closed battle as well. I'll think about it.

For a record - just state which record you're applying for and provide sufficient proof (screenshot or video). Make a post in this topic.

The reason you had better rewards before was because challenges were still being tested and devs didn't know how much they could afford to put into them in order to balance between getting enough people playing to complete them, and not giving away too much stuff. Also, remember how challenges were derived from Star Weeks, which only gave something like 20 containers and a single animated paint for getting 800 stars in 2 days (without double stars from Premium)? Yeah, that was pretty lame if you ask me. Anyway, it's just a case of personal preference. If you play a lot either way, then challenges are a good reason to play a bit more to complete them. But being a casual player and suddenly going from 20 minutes a day to 3 hours a day for the sake of challenges is a questionable decision. For those players challenges should be treated simply as an opportunity to get a few extra supplies/crystals from the first few tiers.

Yes, forum accounts can be merged with no issues (as far as I know), but it's a manual process and there's a few hundred accounts that need merging. If you want yours done ASAP, please send me a PM.

But isn't the fact that reviews are mixed quite the opposite - a clear indication of balance? All turrets are OP in some situations and weak in others, so of course people with different play styles will think differently. Compare that to Magnum in 2017, when every single player called it OP, even those who used it.
