Agreed. And they need to remove more maps for this experiment. I won't play on Year 2042 or Industrial zone with 32 tanks.

That would infer they leave the safety of their "nest" and thus risk their all-important K/D ratio. Don't be silly.

What? ?

Too many. It's like a mosh-pit. Unless you equip Defender you are dying every 30 seconds (or less). How is respawning that often fun? ? Even 8 vs 8 on the smallest MM maps is crowded.

OR.... Small Maps: 6 vs 6 Medium maps: 8 vs 8 Large Maps: 10 vs 10 Extra Large Maps: 12 vs 12 (Berlin, Skylark, Deathtrack)

I like Scope. Cool map. Better than many we've got now. Anyone seen Skylark?

12 vs 12? There's SIXTEEN ... on EACH SIDE. It's just dumb on all maps except for Berlin, Dusseldorf and maybe Deathtrack (which is actually rated for 24 - 12 vs 12 here seems reasonable). Have yet to see Skylark but too is rated for 24.

16 vs 16 in Industrial Zone... ?

Only for this two-week experiment. Also saw Kolhoz. But that seemed crowded - tanks were getting in each others way all the time.

Playing on Berlin was fun for a change - have not been on that map in over 2 years. But 16 vs 16 on even that map seems too much. Should be 12 vs 12. And on most of the MatchMaker maps it is far too much. Can't even move your tank without traffic accidents.

Maybe you should read that thread again.

Not even close to being better. Play 16 vs 16 on Year 2042 and see how fun that is...

If you don't have a drone equipped expect to die 15+ times per battle. Or just skip it. And where's the really big maps? It's the same maps we already have in MatchMaker. They are not big enough for 16 vs 16. 16 vs 16 in Year 2042? Come ON! It's like bumper cars - WAY. TOO. CROWDED. So far - BIG FAIL.

What a mess. 16 tanks on even a large map like Kunger was just dumb. Died 15 times - don't think I made it out of the main base area. And at one point it was 16 tanks vs 12 - early in the battle. How the heck does 1 team get 4 more tanks that early?

But... but MatchMaker is fine... ?

Are ya sure? Hopper was added Oct 1.

Something like this happens on all these events. Smaller maps favoured melee turrets, especially since they gave them double energy. And does everyone have Hornet? Need that for a special mission...

CAPPING. The maps will be large. Will take a looooong time for anything but a light hull to get to other base. And 7 minutes is not a lot of time. Just like they shortened the battle time for fewer tanks and smaller maps, they should increase battle time for this "experiment".

The only players capping in rugby and CTF will be Hoppers and Hornets. Will be worse than it is now. And I just left another battle where the ridiculous Hoppers were scoring goals left and right.

Can you clarify your "150% boost"? Does that include the DA? Currently Defender gives 200% - 100% for DA & another 100% for the drone. I took your suggestion to mean 100% for DA & 50% for the drone. Which is a nerf.

I think the duration should be more like 20 seconds - especially if you are nerfing the defense boost. But I agree on the recharge time. And also the cool-down buff should be done away with as well. We already have other drones that reduce cooldown or extend duration of supplies. Trooper also fits this category as it increases the time a player will have active supplies. Booster and Defender serve a different purpose.

I really don't think there are many players that benefited from the conversion that are still below Marshal. They would have had to leave their accounts idle for that to happen since we've had 2x exp for quite some time. Apparently there is some glitch that allows lower-ranked players to actually purchase items they should not. I do not know wat specifically that is.

hey moved ALL augments to Gold Tier as well.

What do you mean? Did you keep a straight face when you typed this?
