That's called Hopper OD. ?

It's obvious that was not the goal. They are forcing more players to buy and MU drones in order to compete. I have a Miner drone at MU-4. I doubt I will ever use it now as it will just handicap me. And I'm not wasting crystals to MU that to lvl 20. Until new players actually get to that stage they are at a bigger disadvantage than they already were.

Well you can see how I was confused as that is exactly what Booster was designed for - passive increase in armor and damage dealt sans supplies.

That module is rarely if ever used. Not being able to ignore a (rarely used) module is hardly significant. And you say the game has changed. It sure has. What was Isida's DPS when it used to have 50% vampirism. What is DPS now?

Too many? NO. Any single isida with vampirism made it unbalanced. New Isida augment 50% of the damage you deal is added to your HP - same as the OP one removed years ago. Critical damage removed [according to WIKI isida has no critical damage boost - so nothing lost here] Critical heal removed Healing lowered (amount TBD) I can't believe they are adding vampirism back and it does 50% self-heal. Exactly like the one they removed. LOL.

Patch notes does not have that. The WIKI does. So... why was the original Isida vampirism removed from the game?

So why was the original Vampirism for Isida removed from the game?

Ohhhhh - you're vacationing on Fantasy Island. Don't drink too many mai tais.

It's your fault if you are making a suggestion you know won't fly. ?

How you figure that? Anyone with a fully upgraded drone still won't have to rely on these "personal skills". And since Legends get to play mid-rank players because of the ridiculously wide rank-spreads, guess who has an even bigger advantage than before?

How you figure less supplies? It's available in garage?

It's not what I paid for.

Would never work. Player base not large enough to make this feasible. And you'd have to have the same formula for every turret. May not kick in for many turrets often - but the coding would have to be there.

Well I hope your buyers are content to play against only other buyers - cuz that's where you are headed.

How long you think game will last when it's just buyers vs buyers. They BUY to get an advantage. When there's no advantage...

Pretty sure the key word in your post is "few". It's getting to the point where I'm done with TO. All the recent changes just seem designed to squeeze a few more $$ out before the last gasp. Not interested in it anymore.

Completely changing Trickster drone. Yeeesh. Well, no point in continuing to upgrade that. All those players below ... Commander ... that end up playing against Legends (all the time) are getting the crappy end of the stick. They are unlikely to have drones upgraded even half-way. So they just lost a big chunk of supply power. and will be at an even greater disadvantage versus those higher ranks. I ask again - how does TO expect to retain new players when every change seems designed to oppress them?

But it will still be $$ right? Even if 50% off the $$. So you know who benefits from this... BUYERS as usual. Just another insult.

This is the quote you were responding to... "Furthermore, passive damage and armor with brutus drone and other drones will increase to 66.7%." Don't need supplies for passive effects.

Yeah - of course they never tell you up front it's impossible to finish without spending $$. They give you hope, then yank the rug.

Nah... they've openly said the wide rank-spreads are intentional.

That was Passive though - don't need supplies for passive.

They are doing the opposite - and it's intentional. They keep increasing the rank-spreads when there are fewer players online. Supposedly it is preferential to have a short wait time even if the battles are absolute crap. I don't believe it but that's what they've said.

What specific problem? (there are many...)

perma-stun Railgun is NOT deemed acceptable by the general masses. And neither is Striker-stun. Both are ridiculous and ruin CTF, Rugby and Assault, just like a more frequent smoky-stun would be.
