During some deathmatch battles, when using twins I felt like such a cruel person, especially with the trooper drone. Also many times I accidentally killed people right before a gold landed on them, and other times intentionally. Nowadays I often let others take a gold near me cause it's just 1000crys, and there's no reason not to let someone else have it. :D

Would you like some fries with that? ;)

The best way to defeat ricochet, based on how I kept getting killed, is to out-range it with smoky/thunder/railgun/striker/ etc.. or to sneak up on it with a short range turret that deals more DPS, like your isida for example.

I would like it if tanki could make a kit where the paint doesn't cost more than the turret, hull, and module combined.

I find ricochet to often be of more use than my twins in DM battles, even though twins never runs out of ammo and has significantly more damage. Probably the main reason is that so many legends now have twins protections, to the point where I no longer bother to stay in a match that has too many panther modules, I'd just exit instantly. Ricochet on the other hand doesn't seem to suffer as much from a lion module saturation, thus I can use it a lot of times to its full potential.

Oh ok, sometimes the shield would turn red for some reason, I guess that happens when it's deactivated. I couldn't get to see much else cause it was lagging a lot.

Definitely, next time the test server is open I should try that.

Yet more animated paints put in containers, more bundles for non-buyers to ignore, and massive 25% discounts that can get me a whooping one step further upgrading a turret. The 5X gold box thing would be cool if battle length wasn't nearly 6 minutes.. Not complaining though, just saying this isn't really new.

Doesn't look very good, but it's still okay. Twins XT still looks the best by a large margin.

Shaft with the rapid fire mode alt. and booster drone is very powerful. Just used it on test server and got first place in a deathmatch battle, lol.

I tried the Hunter OD but it didn't seem to do anything at the moment, only the visual effect.

When the laser grabs my tank, I feel it never lets go, no matter how much I try to escape it.

Yup, sadly it is this kind of selfish gameplay, where teamwork is doomed and personal gains dominate, that these new updates seem to be encouraging. Undeniably though, when used strategically Dictator's overdrive can be much more beneficial. Due to the current conditions in battles however, I believe a good solution to the upcoming imbalance is for Viking's overdrive to be nerfed considerably.

Sounds like something Duplet can cause. lol

Well it's definitely not going to last for too long, but in my post I assumed any particular duration, it doesn't matter unless it's actually much shorter than the other overdrives. Also they mentioned in one of the following vlogs that the turret firing rate will in fact not be like the first preview, but instead the damage will be increased (most likely by a significant amount). Considering the sharing feature, sometimes sharing an overdrive with others doesn't necessarily mean the team will do any better, since many times each player just chooses his own path to take, and seldom do they attack in an organized way. There are also several players who like to keep the current overdrives to themselves without sharing them, and that's likely becoming more frequent now due to the release of challenges, which are making many compete for the first spot on the team. Furthermore, this current OD will give no particular advantage against other non-dictator players who can also use supplies without it.

In v-log 194 at precisely 2:25, we saw the damage of a reasonably upgraded isida was four times higher after activating the overdrive, but that was without supplies. With double damage an m4 isida will deal 2000dmg. per tick, which translates into a DPS of 8000. But we're not quite done yet. If you use the booster drone with that, it can boost the damage even further, which means the 8000 DPS will become 12,000 DPS if the drone is not upgraded at all, and 24,000 DPS if the drone is fully upgraded. Even though upgrading the drone is expensive and the boost effect lasts only for 3-5 seconds, the damage is devastating. And even without the drone nothing can stand a chance against you in the duration of the overdrive, except hunter with a ready overdrive. And then on the other hand, you got Dictator whose OD just humbly activates all the supplies, nothing else.. talk about imbalance here lol.

Interesting idea, I like them all, but the invisible mine is kind of OP, especially if used with the saboteur drone.

From what I've seen on my WO2 account, there's a lot of opponents who already have m2 equipment that's likely upgraded. I once saw a guy whose rank was below captain but had a mammoth m2, probably a 10/10 m1 striker, and the cyclone alteration... and the fact that these players can be put in battles with other players who barely have m1 stuff is just frightening. He could probably even take me down cause I don't have striker protection.

That's a good thing if you have a mission like finish (x) battles.

One of the features that made isida special, was its ability to fend itself from enemies AND sufficiently heal teammates at the same time. While I believe it was a bit overpowered, it was still justified because both firebird and freeze could attack multiple enemies at the same time, and with enough skill they could use their abilities to take you down with ease while you could only attack them with plain damage. Now they've made most isida players think considerably about whether they want to focus their career on healing only, with nice experience bonuses but without the ability to fend themselves against any enemy, or focus on attacking enemies with incredible DPS but suffer from being of much less help to the team. All of this doesn't make much sense, turrets like hammer and firebird needed changes, not this.

Yay I've finally gotten a different weekly than finish in top spot 15 times, this time I have to earn 10,000 experience. I'm genuinely ready to earn 20,000 rather than get the top 3 mission again.

After the new prime skins are out, I have a feeling XT skins are going to age badly.

I use a 12/20 upgraded twins and get K/Ds around 0.8 to 1.2 after spamming supplies like crazy... then I switch to a 6/20 upgraded firebird and suddenly I'm doing fine again in battles, my mood is much better, I'm consuming less supplies, and it's more comfortable to use. The afterburn damage may need a nerf, but I hope fire doesn't become useless after that, because this is the only turret I have so far which doesn't give me a hard time. I don't mind the kill stealing that happens in deathmatch, but it does get annoying in team battles.

I also dislike several aspects of matchmaking, mainly not having my own freedom in choosing the maps, so sometimes I'd just leave an annoying battle which I know is pointless to continue, not much is wrong with doing that. Anyone who is put in your place after that by matchmaking can also freely leave the battle, no restrictions. Also, collecting something like 800-1000exp. per day can rank you up in around two months. Play a small number of MM battles(maybe 3) and one medium length polygon CP battle(100 points) and you'll easily obtain that amount of experience in a day. Finally, maybe part of you boredom could be from never using any combo other than smoky and hunter. Different combos are sometimes the solution to this, but you're completely free in doing whatever you want.
