Is that Incendiary band + Fire immunity? How does Incendiary band kick in if you are not overheating?

How does that actually work? Thought you had to overheat for that alteration to kick in. If you have fire Immunity equipped you can't overheat. Does not seem right...

I agree some of the maps have some odd spawn-points. I would imagine they were spread out to limit spawn-killing somewhat. With spawn protection now in game those locations could be revised.

As you say "luckily another tank respawns..." it is unlucky. But we can't base rules on some unlucky fortunes. Once the flag is so close to their base that spawners can pick it up it's pretty much a done deal. Maybe you have a Hunter in pursuit and return it. I've done that a few times - 5m from the cap-point. It's pretty sweet when you return it under those conditions. "fully equipped..."? You mean all supplies? Like a trooper drone? Who would invest in a trooper drone when you get a free one each time you spawn? Doubt the Devs would go for that. It could be disabled in DM - I agree, as there is no "base" to spawn-camp in. But then others might say they like it because spawning with your back to an enemy (or 3) kinda sucks too.

Wait wut? So I could have used smoky with the incendiary alteration instead of Isida? What a loop-hole.

It has already been explained - so tanks - in their own base don't become cannon-fodder. Your example of trying to kill a spawning tank that picks up flag is just back luck. it's not like that's a regular occurrence. And if the flag is sitting in a spawning area odds are one of those team-mates will get it anyway. Your team was not in a good enough position to get it back.

It's messed up. No way - during peak hours on weekend - MM should be unbalancing battles this badly. More and more players will just give up.

They nerfed it too much. Titans should not cancel each other and hornet should only have 75% penetration on it.

Remember that Matchmaker "balance" I mentioned in the other thread? I'm seeing that all weekend so far. So my General has a much, much harder time getting Top-3 when it's fighting that far above it's weight class.

OK - then we are talking at cross-purposes. Yes - generally these particular missions are easier relative to previous events. But with the Top-3 mission grouped in there, many players will not complete them all - in large part due to MatchMaker and the way it lumps players with significant rank-spreads into same battle. Oh for crying out loud - you bring up KD? You realize someone can get top score in battle without killing one tank - especially in CTF.

from your perspective - but it seems no one else can have a different opinion from you. It's not easy for many players - especially those at General rank who keep getting stuck as lowest ran vs Gismos and Legends. Not much of a chance to get Top-3 overall. So there's players that are not happy many of these events are designed only for grinders or in this example - players who are not actually playing their peers.

Doesn't take much to amuse a simple mind I guess...

Donald Trump is/was a businessman. Just sayin'....

So you find it "easy" to complete the missions using the most OP overdrive in the game. Yeah... easy. And of course you are still here... "not wasting your time".

Are you saying Hornet OD is not OP? Just want to be clear on what you are saying...

I usually change those missions. But this time I had THREE of them.

You understand the word relative right? If the grinders keep getting a lot more "free" rewards, then the non-grinders fall behind in the economy. Maybe you can make sense of that.

Yeah - that makes sense. It's not my fault u suck at math.

it is... whether or not u agree I don't care

That was the "or..." part above. So - on losing team - good luck placing 3rd overall - with all the 5-0 battles that are happening when players abandon the battle after first flag is capped. So I re-iterate - you have to grind a TON of battles to get 50 of those. It's just another reward for no-lifers. They already get plenty of those. And these "events" just create crappy battles.

I'd like to know how MatchMaker creates a "balance" like this... 5xLegend+3xGismo vs 2xLegend+2xGismo+3xMarshal+1xGeneral No surprise the Seige battle ended quickly with a shut-out by team on... .... the left.

Here is what it says... "Goal: Get into the TOP-3 in CTF mode 50 times in matchmaking battles." I have finished in top-3 losing team a number of times and it does NOT count those. So either it's top-3 winning team or.... top-3 overall.... with winning team taking AT LEAST 2 of those 3 slots. With 16 players in a battle - you do the math on how many battles you need to grind to get 50 of those.

The finish-top-3 50x? That's WINNERS TEAM - of course they don't add that little tid-bit of info. So casual players don't have a chance to complete that in 10 days. Heck the 15x version often takes 2 weeks or more. That means they are highly unlikely to get the 3 container reward. It's just another way to give the no-lifers more rewards. They already have the silly Challenges every month for the grinding. Now all these special events are doing the same thing.

Not true. You probably do better if you are a buyer, but you can compete even if not. Part of reason you have trouble doing missions is you spent too many crystals on turrets and not enough on protection modules - you have lots of them but they are all very weak. Invest more crystals into the modules you use the most.

I don't think it is counting the times I was on losing team - unless there is a bit of a lag for it to record.
