    Ghana Coffin Dance and it's not even close. What ranks in-game do you find to be the most exciting and the most addictive?

    motion sickness...that odd HTML feeling

    See, here's the problem. Mine didn't go back to normal. For weeks I have tried to solve it, but it just keeps getting worse.

    motion sickness...that odd HTML feeling

    You wanna know the weirdest part? Lately, this kinda thing has been happening to me in Flash. For some reason after two or three games the camera starts to change until it becomes unbearable. I don't know if this is a tactic to try and coax Flash players out, but it has been simply horrendous for me. Not even to mention the HTML5 camera and that Shaft scope. The Shaft scope has so many problems that I don't even want to explain because I've tried explaining it accurately a million times. Words cannot even begin to describe how disappointing it is for someone who almost always hits longshots in Flash when the scope moves so much slower horizontally and way too aggressively horizontally in HTML5.

    Let's Discuss Matchmaking

    @DieselPlatinum I hope you have a good explanation as to why you were using LCR....
  5. Light Capacitors cut down your scope in time in half but also takes away 25% of scope damage as well as doubling your turret rotation speed in scope. I'd say it's the augment that requires the most skill and patience to master, but it will change your perspective of Shaft entirely. No longer will you be camping, but you'll actually be going on the offense and winning against many engagements. You might be thinking that 25% less damage is a bad thing. On paper, it is, but in practice, it makes you a better player, for two reasons. Firstly, since you're handicapping yourself, you'll start to make sure that your shots hit, because missing would mean that you'd have to contend with quite a bit of downtime before you get the next shot, and unfortunately the reload time for sniper shots remain the same. Now, the other thing. Because you can't one-shot a medium hull anymore, you'll start to understand who is the most likely to have been hit and who is the most likely to have Double Armor active, and hence you'll start to act accordingly and become a much, much better player. Here's the thing with Rapid fire mode. While it has the very deadly three shot killing potential up close, it has a lot of drawbacks, including its ranged fighting ability and its energy recovery. It's somewhat useful at lower modifications of Shaft, but once you get Shaft Mk7+, the reload speed without this augment is very fast, especially once you max it out (just short of Smoky). Hence not only will you be putting people down at range quickly, but even up close you'll be dealing some very nasty damage. At higher modifications, if you use up all three shots on killing a single Hornet and run into multiple enemies right after, consider yourself done for. There is no way that you'll survive before hitting the next three-round burst without protection or Defender. In short, Light Caps are the true pinnacle of what Shaft is today and what could have been an even better format mode than XP/BP, while Rapid-fire mode is just your basic spam cannon that everyone who doesn't learn Shaft to the max will use.
  6. I see how it is. Two more possible outcomes: I use Hornet and make sure they go down faster via Booster (hence their Defender not even being able to help them), or if they have 50% and Defender, I'll use Dictator, Heavy Caps, Booster, and make damn sure they won't escape. Hopefully their humiliation will make them leave the battle and not come back.
  7. Thing is, if I get Heat Resistance or maybe even Heat Immunity along with a Shark module, that's game over for them. Now for LCR Railguns...that's not happening. Not only is it stupidly OP, but they do stupid damage to you even if you have a high-end Falcon module. I've already mentioned Hornet, but also Viking-Railguns with LCR make me want to rip my hair out whenever I go up against them. They can and will 3-shot JGR on their stupid ODs, which is so infuriating getting killed straight out of spawn. 20000 HP gone, reduced to atoms just like that even with a 50% Falcon? That's why I will target them and them only every time.

    What happened to shop kits?

    Hi. Kits have since moved to the HTML5 and Mobile version of the game, where they rotate every 12 hours at around 9:30 UTC. You can get offers with kits and supply kits with either crystals or Tankoins, but the crystal ones are a bit rarer to come by, and there's no guarantee that you'll get the one you want. Also, kits all cost the same regardless of the equipment due to paints being removed from kits. An M3 (Mk7 today) kit will cost you 382500 crystals regardless of the combination, which is a good offer. So yeah.
  9. Oh, I was assuming Stock. In any case, LCR is a cancer, especially those people who camp on maps like Parma with Hornet and oneshot you regardless of your tank or protection. I hate them more than Gauss, more than RGC, and even more than Vulcan-Defender users.
  10. Tidebreaker

    Let's Discuss Gauss!

    If you want to be someone that everyone hates and will target in Siege, Hornet. But if you want to be a team player, then Dictator is an excellent fit.
  11. The sweet, sweet truth. Nopity nope. Well of course it's game over for campers when their position is compromised. So why are you still defending XP/BP? Give up. I did. And nowhere here do you mention the only turret without vertical autoaim in scope. Nice. I can get behind this, though. Like either @wolverine848 or @DieselPlatinum said (sorry for the mix-up, I don't remember who it was), Magnum shouldn't exist because indirect-fire turrets don't belong, and Gauss is just something that completely beats out Smoky, Thunder, Striker, Railgun, Magnum, and Shaft. Both need to go. They can't even two-shot light hulls. What on earth are you talking about? It doesn't.

    @At_Shin Definitely. Mk7 Wasp-Vulcan is a pure thrill ride, and wait till you get hose maxed.

    Episode 254 of the V-LOG is live!

    Somewhere in between a 1.33x and a 1.5x multipiler would probably be best.

    Episode 254 of the V-LOG is live!

    @Maf My thoughts exactly. It's pretty obvious what will be happening with the two Double supplies, but how do you think will the SB interaction work? Will you go Super Saiyan or something and just steamroll through an enemy base? Anyway, I felt that this VLOG was much more concise and didn't beat around the bush. Other than the people already insistent on trashing/disliking it before it even came out, I get the feeling that most were actually pretty satisfied. We might have been in a trough a while back, but I can definitely see things changing for the better if the devs stay the course.

    Ideas for Missions!

    A mission where you share Dictator’s OD with 250 people would do well to boost teamwork...
  16. Tidebreaker

    Ideas for Hulls and Overdrives!

    Good point you raise. I feel another part of the problem is how hard they nerfed Juggernaut's Overdrive. The old system of two kills = half/full health regen allowed for so much more survivability that today's Overdrive just feels like a slap in the face. It takes quite long to recharge and most of the time I die when I'm very close to getting my health regenerated back. The problem with Viking's OD is that if you don't see it coming, you are done, regardless 50% prot or not. A Viking-Railgun with LCR literally melts the Juggernaut faster than you can swallow a piece of bread. I've had instances where I got killed with 50% protection against Thunder by 4 Viking-Thunders activating their ODs all at the same time in TJR. I don't want to have to camp like Pace in order to enjoy TJR. I want the old solo days where it's just you against the big bad world where you know you have a shot at surviving, compared to this mode where you doubt if you'll even survive a minute. And equipment doesn't really come into play here. Sure, you might say that you can kill people easily with the good old Dictator-Shaft with Booster, Hunter-Rico (plasmatorch) with Booster/Hunter-Striker (Cyclone) with Booster or Wasp/Freeze with Defender, but other than that I cannot think of any combos that anyone would use other than any turret with Viking in TJR. ooooof

    30xp but 13k cry?

    Done, thanks to @Mr.Nibbles for that!
  18. Tidebreaker

    30xp but 13k cry?

    This is most likely due to the efficiency algorithm being wonky as per usual. I'm not sure how exactly it works, but somehow people can get massive "efficiency". I won't blame you for thinking that it's power leveling though. The best thing to do is to just let it go. After all, it doesn't decide anything, it's just ratings. Of course, if you have proof such as videos or photos that someone is violating the game rules, don't hesitate to report this at Game Violations! (don't worry that it's in Russian, there are EN people who will understand and do the rest for you. All you have to do is to start a new topic and write in the necessary details.)

    Ideas for Hulls and Overdrives!

    Sorry, but that's where I'll have to stop you. Juggernaut and Team Juggernaut are in a state of near-ruin from Vikings already; no need to straight up do the Ghana Coffin Dance on the mode. Not only is the Viking spam there just ridiculous but it's just sad, and imagine if people get their ODs in a minute without Driver. Nopity nope.
  20. Iconic, but sadly no. the overrated as hell Aventador the Gallardo?
  21. Tidebreaker

    "Heavy weight champion" alt. is OP and cool

    Slightly UP now that I think about it. If you're deliberately cutting off damage, why doesn't the reload time decrease as well?

    May Holidays Event

    Let me guess, Vikings stealing it in ASL defense and using it a single Wasp? Yeah, that's my life every day. In my time, I have only seen one Viking-Isida who willingly gave up the OD box to me for the greater good (after which I proceeded to give to him OD charge and friend him right away). Point being, so many people are self-centered that it hurts.
