It's a damage nerf everywhere between direct hit and 10m away from it. It's a damage buff if the target is between 10m and 12m from the hit. Assuming there is no typo in the EN or RU patch of course.

Did you not see the other changes?

That person wasn't talking minutes, they were talking seconds. Can you show me a video example of this? I don't know if you're exaggerating about comeback mechanic or if this was something added recently that you noticed. I have not noticed anything out of the ordinary with the point scoring in CP battles.

What?

For a claim as crazy as that, you need actual proof.

Stop this nonsense. It's understandable if it's with the current system where you got 15 UCs per weekend. But for 3/few number of UC keys per weekend? Why? What reason would there be to even have it like this? All I see is it punishing players who are too busy to play every single weekend. Why would you not let them be able to catch up if they arrive late? It screams of being desperate to keep players online no matter what.

Unfortunately for you, the recent patch now allows maxed Crisis RFMs to cross 3,000 final damage against medium hulls with 50% Shaft and Armadillo if they do not have any Boosted Armour activated. Good luck out there.

How do you know that?

What you're trying to say is keeping TTK low is necessary for the long term survival of the game? Is this the driving force behind many of the decisions made?

Wasn't this already increased from 30 to 60 seconds in January?

This was especially apparent with the Thunder nerf 17 months ago. They reduced the damage from 990 to 900 which was fine but then they went and further reduced the damages of Small Calibre Charging Machine and Sledgehammer Rounds. SCCM would have retained its purpose of killing light and heavy hulls quicker than Stock but instead they nerfed the damage again and now it doesn't even do that. Despite getting critical hits slightly more often than Stock, it couldn't even synergise its normal and critical damage to do its intended job. And then they have the gall to introduce Adaptive Reload which at the bare minimum is SCCM without the inane damage penalty. Not even mentioning the fact that they killed Sledgehammer Rounds' range, if they DID end up getting the enemy's face for long enough, then congratulations, you now can't kill light and heavy hulls in a properly timely manner because surprise surprise, it definitely needed its max damage nerfed from 1,350 to 1,305. And so it remains to this day, where the only proper variety on Thunder, the turret that has the most augments in the game, is two legendary augments who massively powercreep everything else on it.

It really isn't.

Sounds to me like you're using EMP Tesla specifically. That's the only status Tesla that has an unchanged critical damage coefficient with the OD, i.e weaker than it should be. AP - x5, x25 crit EMP - x5, x5 crit <------- Cryo - x5, x25 crit Jammer - x5, x25 crit Incendiary - x5, x25 crit Stun - x5, x25 crit

It's the first time we get a full set of special missions for the event.

Correct. These events are not catered to you.

That sounds like projectiles. Not a bug then. If you do see anything weird please try to record or screenshot it.

Magnum, Gauss and Smoky can do that as they have projectiles. Shaft shouldn't be able to do such a thing. Do you remember how long after their deaths they would kill you? And how far away they were from you are the time? Another possible reason would be if those players you've encountered had the Blaster augment for Wasp, which deals chaos damage in a radius around it when their tank dies.

Can you describe common examples of this happening? What turrets were they using, etc.

That is Hammer. They are using the Hammer Demonic Skin.

It does. I'm fairly certain the Polarization from repair kits and Paladin are separate.

You're taking your own (wrong) interpretation of it. Turrets have parameters. Augments change those paramaters, whether that be by making them better or worse. Turrets apply status effects on critical hits. Augments that apply status effects now change the critical damage of the turret to be 10% of its base. That is all there is to it. Nothing more, nothing less.

I don't like the new layout of the forum on mobile. Takes more clicks to get where I want and I'm shown less information than I was previously.

I remember when Magnum came out, I was god awful with it. The very next day, I was expecting to still be awful but I was directly hitting almost every shot with ease. That honestly surprised me back then.

Elaborate.
