The only thing that made dictator worthwhile over the other two medium hull was it's HP advantage. But devs took that away, just like they take away all good things and put in less desired things.

Um I meant that it reminds me a lot of Gauss. But ok.

Reminds me of a certain turret with a certain ability.

I once saw someone with striker being able to lock on to a target while fully in cover. A few times in the same battle, I wouldn't see a laser and then all of a sudden all four rockets came rushing at me. I don't know if it's some sort of new hack or if the map or lock on mechanic was glitched. All I know was that it happened.

Maybe the EN CM was too lazy to post it as an announcement.

OOF, I didn't know about that. I guess I didn't read the announcements thoroughly enough. (Even though i don't normally read contest ones thoroughly.)

So the snowmen have protections against your turrets too?

Module will only affect its damage. Abilities, like it's stealth and fast projectile speed, not so much.

I made a post with my own ideas in what should be changed in the new spawn protection system. some mod merged it into an inferior version of the idea. And I worked my brain off to come up with these changes so it at least deserves its own discussion topic. So should my version of the change be added? And why?

Who cares if it's too easy. The big concern that currently the mission encourages exploits and then sabotage. Also as wolverine stated, it's easier for a no lifer to complete them because they play 24/7. It's hard as a casual to complete it because they don't have the time to do so. You might argue that it's just one container, but that one container adds up.

Because it'll be the solution to spawn killing epidemic. Sure it currently has some flaws, but it'll be a good feature.

And for some, it's a yearly mission.

Challenges have changed how battles are played for the last 12 months. Made players go to such lows to get 3 stars per battle. Which made battles horrible most notably in the high ranks. I almost wanted to quit playing TO every time a new set of them began. I'm TOs one of the more suck up players, and I am very reasonable with my complaints. And if I don't like a certain feature, then something's wrong with it. However 2019 has been mostly a year of bad updates. Let's hope it doesn't continue into 2020.

2019 was a bad year of the balance changes. The only good set of balance changes was the most recent one.

I hear that freeze can still freeze the respawned player, rendering them defenseless once the spawn protection wears off.

I have an idea in how to make it more effective against spawn campers. But it'll take me awhile to post it.

I think it's a fair balance. I mean for a drone with such an overpowered ability, it needs such a heavy drawback to even it out, otherwise every legend would buy that drone, thus giving me another reason why I should not reach the rank of legend.

I feel like the map distributor is either rigged or not working right. But I would most likely think it's rigged.

Define "weak team". Spawn killing can be a result of one team loading into battle before the other team, or unbalanced teams. Either way it's still been a problem that has plagued the game for years.

This Damn mission has been a pain for however long it has existed and I'm sure many others feel that way as well. Look at its requirements: First your team has to win, then you have to place in the top 3 in that team.. Should be changed to place in top 5 of any team (win, lose, or draw).

I want to see jug in Rio.

1) the lobbing shots exploit also works well against enemies on the same elevation as long as they are on the other side of that thin wall. 3) What I don't like about Gauss is it's stealth ability. Can't fight back against something that you can't see. 4) this I will never understand. Maybe they thought that the two second charge time made it too good?

1) first off alterations are not supposed to be upgrades of their stock counterparts, they're supposed to provide a different playstyle. And second there's no mention of these things in my first two posts. 2) the advantage of said things is still there. You're just salty because you can't abuse the spawn killing exploit as much as you used to.

TBH, I think Gauss is literally an alteration for thunder, striker, or shaft. But an overpowered one. Don't know why the devs decided to go the extra length to make it a turret. I would've been fine with it as an alteration that unlocked really late for a high price.

I think the prices of the equipment should be based on the modification upgrade and the micro upgrades that come after it.
