You're not a fan of the do 1.5M damage to enemies missions? ?

CP battle on highways. My team had AT LEAST 4 campers. We got spanked badly cuz ... all my team worried about was KD. You know... that important stat that signifies how good you are at this game and will help you win battles... oh wait...

Another reason not to play blue on Noise...

This part would be AWESOME. With the nerf, make the EMP only work if shot travels less than 50m.

Wait wut? Oh wait a second... that was sarcasm... right? Right? Too soon.

Hunter has to be slightly closer to you though... right?

So... You might be able to one-shot medium hulls without a laser? And even if you don't one-shot them, the (quick) follow-up snipe will likely finish them off? That's not gonna go over well with most of the community. All that aside - what is the negative aspect? All alterations have good+bad. What is the bad?

But... if the only way to get it is to BUY a bundle - they probably will sell a LOT of those bundles. CHA-CHING! $$

Do any Gauss users actually care about the splash damage on the arcade shot? I know I don't. This alteration is ridiculous.

Well, if you are participating in a "decent amount" of the WAR, you will be usig up a LOT of supplies. And at that point, you might as well try to get as far into the Challenge as well. In-for-a-penny in-for-a-pound so to speak. So IMO you are playing more than a "decent amount". It's pretty much grinding. The casual player will not be obtaining 5 or 6 combos. Costs way to much to upgrade them - those last few steps are prohibitive, and take a long time without speedups. I am a casual player that started a new account about a year ago. So even with experience, and doing missions every week, I could not afford 5 or 6 combos, especially in the first bunch of ranks. I had two combos + 7 modules up until roughly 3rd Lt. Then I added 2 more hulls and 1 more turret while ranking up to Lt. General. And now I sit with 13 of 14 modules at ~ 32% along with the Trooper drone. I'd have to "grind" to afford more than that.

My post just above sums it up. If I do 20 stages, will I get ~ rewards now (Gold Tier) than I would have received before they split the Challenge into 2 per month?

Well - you have to buy a BP for each Challenge right? So 500 TK will get you Gold Tier in A or B but not both. I typically don't get past stage 20, so ... still worth it? I guess amybe it still is as you can't get anything worthwhile for 500 TK.

Will a casual player that spends the 500 TK on a Battle-Pass get ~ reward now (from gold tier) compared to when it was just 1-per-month? Does the reward line up stage-by-strage now same as before?

It's still mostly like this. The only players who have 4 combos or so at low-mid ranks are... - buyers or - those that got extemely lucky with a container reward or - those that don't put many upgrades into the many combos (each combo is below average) or - don't buy things like drones or even modules ( there are a surprising number of players in battles with below-average modules)

The rotate issue is still there so I only use that combination in specific situations. It's still way better with Dictator. You use OD with Vulcan-dictator way more than Vulcan-Hunter. Hunter OD really only good at basically point-blank range. Vulcan still has issues there. So Hunter OD does not get used nearly as much as say... if you used turrets like Ricco or Freeze or Hammer, etc...

Why? Besides the mechanics alrerady explained... what do you think the % actually is if you can't get consecutive criticals?

The ability to boost an OD (which is already potent) by spending more crystals will add yet another layer of P2W. Average Joe will not be able to do this AND buy MUs for items like modules or turret or hull. Buyers can do ALL of the above. So giving buyers another method (even if only 25% or even 10%) of getting advantage widens the power gap even more.

Probably mentioned already - but - need to add to main page summary of modules equipped. It's a pain to need to go garage each time you want to see wut you have equipped.

You think without the Challenges that many players would "play normally" as many hours as they do to complete the Challenges?

Brutal. The question is ... why? They just like to see the world burn or something? Bunch of tools...

When a FieldMarshal on your team has a GS of 2800 ... coughmultcough

You are correct. Just finished a battle in Seige with my Lt. General account. Other team won because they had more titans.

Way too potent. This just makes it MORE P2W - as the rich will be able to afford to buy and upgrade the drone. We don't more OD in the game - we need less OD. With ideas like this it will be all OD all the time.

Gold Boxes are a sideshow. Suck it up buttercup.
