So the single-shot Salvo is right up my alley - since I can't hit anything with this turret as is...

It's all about Stars. You're best bet is to wait until this "event" is over, then start playing again. Might be a bit better then.

They have been whittling away at any strategy aspect for years. - shorter battles - 8 vs 8 - even on smaller maps - random maps

"insanely good" and "not that strong" are... contradictory. Imagine if smoky could equip both? Probably one of reasons why only 1 alt allowed...

1. It seems we are not talking about the same thing. No point in continuing on this. 2. Buyers have an advantage, but there are not really enough to make a big impact. However, if many players are collecting these "bonuses" then it would be impossible for players not getting these "bonuses" to compete. These players then will quit Match-Maker. How do you think Match-Maker will work if it loses a significant # of players? TO needs the casual players to thrive and continue. It seems odd you do not understand this.

But... you are going to deliver criticals way more often - and those not reduced, correct?

Any drawbacks for that alt? besides needing to be overheating before it kicks in? Does it cause more overheating to Vulcan?

So the 15 top-3 winning team weekly mission... 50% chance to be on winning team. 50% (at best) to be top 3 out of 8. That means on average you need play 60 battles. I finished my 3 daily missions in 6 battles and managed only 1 top-3 on winning team. This weekly mission will be the reason both my accounts leave MM and only do Pro-Battles. TO - thanks for giving me the gift of time.

:huh: It's the 7th Sign! :o

So my Alt got that ridiculous top-3 winning team 15x mission. LOL. Just looked at my main (this account)... same thing. Yeesh :blink: 1. So what did you mean then? 2. Play more or give up MM altogether because it no longer caters to casual gamers. Back to my earlier question - how is (casual) players leaving MM for Pro-battles good for Match-Maker?

PPL doing a 5-minute mission are not leaving the battle since 1) there's only 3 minutes left max and 2) they give up any battle rewards. Your issue is actually tied to missions like collect 3 RKs - collect and leave. Can be solved by 1) removing supply collection and 2) installing early battle termination. I play any battles I'm put in from the start - not sure why you assume I don't finish them. This new system is all about trying to force people to play more battles than they currently do.

Wonder if that combines with the new drone where some of your mines stay active even after you die...

That one daily mission - finish 7 battles... that's where it all breaks down. I hardly ever play 7 battles on one account in same day. So looks like at least one account going pro-battles only. How is reducing # players good for Match-Maker? :huh:

Sounds just like the missions Tanki-X was giving me. Cap 30 flags. Problem is.... you don't get to choose your battle-mode - it's random. Took me at least 3 weeks to finish that mission.

How often do weekly missions refresh - as soon as completed? How often do daily missions refresh? Is it possible to do more than 3 in a day (in case some take > 1 day?) Previously we got 3 missions per day, and only had to claim 1 mission per day - so - within a week i could play 4 days and still qualify for the mission chain reward. Will be able to skip days and still claim the weekly missions every week?

Thunder has instant hit, and Striker locks-on are NOT a guarantee hit if there obstacles nearby - the turns are not at 90-degrees Twins and Ricco re-load much faster than Striker does. Striker is all-or-nothing. I am interested in that smoky quick-fire. Guess it depends on how much the dmg reduction is. But getting off criticals more often... And of course Vulcan gets the shaft in a major way. Only one Alteration, and in order to use it, the Vulcan must be killing itself. :wacko: Why do Devs hate Vulcan so much???

Devs have no issue with buyers remorse. They actually encourage / thrive on it...

This I suspect is the real reason, and nothing to do with "easier". TO made a mistake when they introduced the 10-week mission change - payout was too much. This is their way of "correcting" it.

Seriously? You've had lots of complaints because players can't count to 10? This sounds like a made-up answer for the masses. TO needs to at least pretend to try...

Chart seems off - columns not aligned right for update row - I mean... that 3000 should be under crystals right? Also missing a column... so they no longer giving free batteries? Make us pay for them at... 300-a-pop? :lol: So... likely take closer to 2 weeks for some of these super-type missions... paying 3000 crystals. In 2 weeks under "old" system we received 18,000 crystals. Yikes that's a big hit. And with the containers full of lousy paints - it's a crapshoot. Rather have guaranteed 9k/week than what they offer now.

15 Finish Top-3 winning team? :o That's like... 30+ battles assuming 50/50 win/loss. LOL. They always give you something good to take the sting off giving you the shaft later on. Good luck going forward completing all your missions in a week :lol:

What does that mean about "avoiding DM"? There are a lot of DM-mode misisons? Can those be "changed"? Which of the missions rewards us with what we were getting previously by completing the 10-week mission chain? If it is "Mission 3" and that can take up to 3 weeks, how is that not worse? 3x as long to get similar reward? In 3 weeks before I could get 12 containers + ~ 27,000 crystals (not including daily rewards). 3 weeks now I can get 6 containers?

You are missing the point entirely. And your suggestion that players - who do not visit a forum they never have before - to report cheaters - don't "care about the game" is insulting.

Sale on what?

So more Drones, that are really expensive? 3 words... PAY. TO. WIN.
