To increase your chances of getting that augment in particular.

Because nothing sounds out of the ordinary here. You need to provide us with something visual so we can understand better. What map was it? How tall was the wall or which side of that map was it on? We've already explained what is likely the problem you are seeing earlier in the topic.

Two months later and STILL no auto-supplies? This is torture. If this isn't a prelude to something else then this has to be an experiment to see what ASL battles become when players have no incentive to capture flags. I can't see any other reasons to do this without any other relevant changes.

And why can it not be all of the above?

It's what krokorok said, but Striker in particular for a while now seems to have that (visually) exacerbated. Where the missile from your POV visually blows up farther away than it actually did. RRE/Vacuum being able to manually detonate the missiles would make that look even worse.

You micro-upgrade the turret or hull with crystals then purchase the next modification for a small number of Tankoins, totalling 33 Tankoins per turret/hull from Mk1 to Mk7.

Striker has the Remote Rocket Explosives augment which allows the user to manually detonate their own missiles. There is also the Vacuum Missiles augment, which is the aforementioned RRE but with much higher damage the further the target is away from the centre of the blast. You probably fought against Vacuum Missile Strikers. A recent event allowed players to purchase it.

Then I'm afraid I would need a video of these things. There's only so far you can go with words alone. Don't forget you can also see damage direction markers when you get hit to see where you got shot from, if you got shot from multiple people. The same with this.

Most likely they were using a status effect augment that made you easier to kill.

Augments play a big part in questions like this. And for something like that, a video or a more thorough explanation of what happened is needed. Off the bat Smoky can hit Tesla from range while Tesla cannot. That alone gives Smoky an advantage. Pulsar Freeze's normal damage coefficient with Viking's Overdrive is currently x2.5 instead of x5 (what it should be). This was an issue with Pulsar Firebird for a while and was fixed but it came to Freeze immediately after. It is unknown whether this is intentional or not but still worth reporting, yes.

That's just Faust but much worse.

Is that hard for you to believe. It's accounts, not players.

Unfortunately one instance of this doesn't say a lot. How often does this happen to you? Striker and Scorpion have a mechanism that only launches one missile on the server (it will look like you launched 4 but only the first will do damage), if it triggered the anti-cheat. That appears to be what happened to you there.

You can obtain Tankoins in a number of ways: Completing the first set of daily missions (3 Tankoins per day, 21 per week) Completing the first set of weekly missions (3 Tankoins per week) Completing the 2-week long Challenges (100 Tankoins) Pulling the 100 Tankoins reward in common (green) containers (low chance) During events, Tankoins may or may not be an obtainable prize. If they are, it will be specified in that event's announcement.

Assuming they aren't oblivious to the beginner ranks of the game, it's obvious they mean that the players on your team or the enemy team having bad K/D ratios and generally low score aren't bots. The game isn't a sweatshop. The majority are casuals. At the moment, bots play with one person but as they progress through the development of them they plan to allow more than one real player to be in a bot match.

Does anyone know what the last reward a 2009 player got is?

It will expire. Spend your points now before the shop is closed.

It is intentional.

I noticed some months ago that every Desert TDM, CTF, RGB and SGE battle I was in was a campfest from start to finish. Desert was a map I often saw lots of variety on. Now it's just long range spam.

From the wording of the Vlogs, it sounded like this should have been done almost a year ago.

With the current TJR balance there's no need for that.

I said a theoretically balanced battle, a battle where the winner would be decided close to the 13 minute time limit. A battle where the attacking team slowly but steadily captures flags and keeps close to the defending team's objective score. For that to happen, many attacking team flag bearers would have failed in trying to capture the flag, which would mean the defending team would be getting fast progress. This isn't even mentioning the potential sabotage that can occur with this if you set the extra points too high. A 5k GS supplyless Wasp on your team could keep picking up the flag and dying and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
