Most of those Vulcans are probably equipped with the OP incendiary alteration.

Keep using it. The protection is barely noticeable. And it's not like Rail protection is rare...

Yeah - those "daily" missions to use OverDrive 10 times will be just awesome now :rolleyes:

How can you play battles vs m3+ without a decent fire module? Afterburn is everywhere.

BINGO. Rapid fire with 50% weak damage.

It's not the rewards / containers that is the issue. It's the missions. Many of the missions require you to grind daily, and some weekly ones can only be completed by hardcore players. So often you are not reaching the full potential of rewards every week.

I'm not sure how this pertains to the discussion. If it's boring for everyone using isida, that does not make it more palatable. If you're happy with the changes to Isida that's great. I'm not here to try to change your mind.

I'm not denying the Isida can heal well and even score well when equipped with the alteration. What I object to is the ALL-OR-NOTHING way they've pigeon-holed it. Either heal OR Attack. Nothing in between. And I have no interest in spending battles just healing. That's plain boring. IMO the loss of flexibility ruins the turret. Crystal to experience ratio also includes mission rewards correct? I'm at end of week and had no missions left and barely played MM - just starting some of those "daily" missions that can take 5-7 battles to complete. I played more Pro-battles, which though more fun can be less rewarding crystal-wise.

This is not a valid reason to gut a main characteristic of the turret. It is a shortcoming of the players trying to kill that tank - not OPness of the isida. Lack of skill or lack of imagination. One isida healing a different tank - fairly easily solved. YOU KILL THE ISIDA. One isida healing another isida - solutions exist for that as well. The "defenders" just are not doing it right.

I might have played with losers like that. Told him/her to get bent and made sure he/she knew that was the only team-mate I would NOT heal. KD means absolutely nothing.

Which part of their reasoning are you referring to?

Isidas never could do both as much as you imply. Attack for 5 seconds and you are not healing anyone. And I'm not gonna shell out crystals for an alt that nerfs my damage by 50%. I've used the "new" Isida. Fine for getting kills. Way too slow healing to save anyone. So guess I'll be more selfish and use some of those 11,000 DD sitting in my garage.

It ruins battles. half your team just playing for stars

Two of you couldn't kill two isidas? :o Speaking of "messing up gameplay"... Challenge will be back soon. Nothing like 3/4 of the tanks playing TDM in a CTF or CP battle. <_<

Is that detailed in WIKI alteration descriptions? If an alt affects impact (like smoky alt) it is detailed. Smoky gives up critical for better impact. I highly doubt it's a "throw-in" for twins Accelerator. I have Ricco MFS - which speeds up the orange balls - and impact is no better than stock.

I'm already tired of "challenges" and there's only been 1. We can hope those once again going for 2000 stars just run out of supplies. It is not sustainable.

I think MAF response was regarding the days when players could just pick up crystal boxes or just log into TO and get free stuff - with out working AT ALL. And do this for many accounts. As opposed to last year or two where you got nothing if you did not work for it at least somewhat (mission chains) But i could be mistaken... Twins impact is still too ridiculous. It pushes around even medium hulls, and since IT NEVER STOPS FIRING...

More soccer football paints because ... they are apparently "in demand" for 'collectors'. ;)

It's all moot. Match-Making will slowly die out as they keep shortening the length of battles. By next year it will be 6 minutes. Cuz... "Stars".

Seen lots of battles where half the losing team did not get stars. Go troll somewhere else.

Well then we'd have no reason to play MM battles right? Pro-Battles would be the majority. I'm all for that. They purposely introduce OP "items" (turrets, drones, alterations) so players will spend more crystals either fighting them or embracing them. Once players have spent enough, the Devs will eventually nerf whatever they introduced because they've squeezed as much out it as they can. It's as simple as that.

You've missed my point entirely. Isida had flexibility before. Now it does not. It has been drastically changed - they've completely nerfed one of the major characteristics that set Isida apart. It would be like removing the scope from Shaft, or Splash damage from Thunder. You should underline and bold the text "a bit of exp"... because that's all you will get.

And I didn't think things could get any more stupid. :blink: Boy was I wrong! :D :lol: :( :angry: Are they at least lowering the daily mission requirements in conjunction? Ah... what does it matter... Looking more and more like I'll just play Pro-battles.

Wait - what??? :o
