It applies status effects to all enemies in a 10m radius. Should every player equip EMP immunity? then the other 7 players not using Gauss will just apply stun or AP effects. It's ridiculous the status effect is applied with splash.

I wrote it TODAY. I'm still in the Forum. My experience in the game gives me plenty of insight into what is just ridiculous and what is not. And when someone calls for stun on every shot I will call them out. Or saying Gauss EMP is fine when it applies status effects to enemies in a 10m radius of the target - with a reload of -50% to boot.

How does me not currently playing affect my ability to comment on the game? I mean you just stated above that you would prefer Rail-stun to stun every shot - even if just for 1-2 seconds. Do you understand how ridiculous that is? And you are currently playing. My judgement of the game while not playing is still miles ahead of yours while you do play.

Yellow will defend EMP Salvo and Hopper to the end of time. ?

Well then the drone is pretty much useless. You are just giving it a free RK - at the expense of tons of crystals and not being able to equip a different drone. No one would use the drone.

LOL... Why?

The worst was when they changed Isida from 50% vampirism to 10% vampirism. The turret was garbage. It's like they didn't even test it before releasing it.

Bingo! Mind you ... I'm not all that sure how much they are actually trying to keep balance.

LOL - it was not. Buyers dominated F2P tankers that had no team support. Those players were often in the bottom half of the scoring and thus received a lot fewer crystals. You have yet to offer an explanation for why DM mode was cancelled. The official explanation was it was not popular, which I concur. Offer a a better one.

At that time Assault was new - and because the objectives are different, they could not just add all maps. It needed a lot of tinkering. Why would they remove a mode they just added? Again - makes no sense. I get it - you liked DM. Why don't you satisfy your DM urges in pro-battles?

False? How you figure? I did not like it and I know many others did not like. Just because you liked it does not mean majority did like it. The Devs removed DM because it was unpopular. Maybe you can provide a better explanation?

Many players did not like it - the maps were too crowded and all you did was die-respawn-die-respawn... etc. B-O-R-I-N-G. And it was doubly bad because you got daily missions for that mode. So many were forced to decide using the free switch on DM mission or the top-3-x3 mission. Lose-lose.

Well, since we are talking about EMP... the EMP shot is critical, and thus ignores any module. Then the follow-up shot (which comes well before supply cooldown wears off) now does not have to deal with DA. A DD activated Rail EMP should have an easy time taking care of many (even 'protected') targets with 2 shots.

This. Without the delay there is no activation failure. You either activated and stunned the other Hunter. Or did not activate and was stunned without loss of any charge.

"half of the time"... hmmm... sounds like 50/50 to me.

So when a Hunter with full supplies and a ready-OD enters your base to cap a flag or score a goal - you will ignore your own OD? And save it for... what? Same thing when a Hunter + team-mates enters your base to steal your flag. You will ignore your OD and let it escape? I assure you it's using it's own OD to make a getaway. Of course there's times in a 1-on-1 with nothing on the line when (trying to ) use the OD is a waste. But there's plenty of situations you will encounter another Hunter and just letting it zap you will be costly.

Your semantics do not change the issue. Who gives a crap if it is luck or probability. Both of you have to activate within a specific set of parameters - within range. Of course you can see their OD is ready just like they can see yours is ready. And you will both be committed to activating at the same time. At higher ranks players have more of EVERYTHING and thus will be moving faster and are much more dangerous. There is less time for the go-no-go decision.

It is quite meh. It's like having thunder when you could buy the alt that (only) removed splash damage. I bought it (on sale), used it twice, and never equipped it again. At least u didn't waste crystals on it.

It's like flipping a coin. 50/50 heads or tails. This is what I'm talking about. In a way though you are right - one-time 50/50 is pure probability. Getting favorable results a bunch of times in a row is what we would call "luck". In the end it is irrelevant what we call it. This whole string is about Hunter losing the charge to another Hunter even though it never really activated it's OD.

You equate those two things to timing in pushing a button in tanki? ?

So neither will activate because both are too scared they will lose? Your motto must be "Never try, never fail". LOL.

YES Two players trying to do the same thing with same odds of success. Each of those players has a 50% chance of defeating the other. One pushes shift 0.5 seconds before the other and wins. No one playing this game can estimate better than a half second timing. When two competent players confront one another, it pretty much is luck that one comes out on top.

I always hated the Hornet OD before they made the status effect changes. But I feel for you now. They absolutely neutered Hornet with this change. Makes no sense.

Yes... and when there's two of you doing exactly the same thing one passes and one fails. 50/50.

"Quests"? Is this a Fantasy Role-playing game now? I assume that's missions? Seems an odd change. Hard to tell from screen-shots.. are they putting on main screen what modules are equipped? We can see our Hull and Turret -I hate having to go into garage to see my modules before jumping into a battle.
