You mean Engineer?

Or maybe the Dilatory Protocol augment was being exploited in certain game modes when in groups? Every time you mention this, you always omitt that part for some reason. Were you even aware that it was being used like this?

Tesla indeed is the cause of the lag, but not for the reason I stated above. It happens when 2 or more Tesla balls are travelling very close to one another. The lag stops either when the balls become a certain distance apart, or one of the balls is destroyed exploding on an enemy or reaching its lifespan and disappearing. This bug also leads players to self-destructing if the lag persists through their spawning animation. The first time I tried it with the Adrenaline augment, I was able to move and not be self-destructed because the balls moved far enough apart before that happened, but that was not the case when done with the Dilatory Protocol augment. It would be ideal if this bug becomes a high priority to fix because it can be done intentionally and maliciously to detriment of mobile players.

I can say with certainty that this bug occurs when a Tesla on the map chains lightning through its balls.

If you're making big changes to Stock turrets, you'll also have to make relevant adjustments to their augments, as they stem from the Stock turrets. In this case for Isida, equalising the damage and the healing is not the way to go unfortunately. Damage can be reduced in some way (Boosted Armour, protection modules, Titan's dome), healing cannot. Equalising the healing and the damage like in your suggestion would make it less profitable to use the turret offensively, and would also have many players being unkillable because almost every Isida would be able to heal their allies quickly.

There would be little use for Support Nanobots compared to the new Stock Isida in your suggestion, because your Stock Isida would also be healing quickly which tramples on Support Nanobots' niche. The only place Support Nanobots would be useful in compared to this new Isida is healing Juggernauts due to their high health pool coupled with their frequency of being severely injured. Nanomass Reactor would deviate from its intended purpose and become worse in it. Players without good ping would not be able to deal good damage to their enemies when using Broadband Radiators and would have their damage shackled by their increased healing which, again, is supposed to be Support Nanobots' job. With the way the game is set up, I don't think this suggestion can work out well.

Not only that, but Status Railguns have a higher damage coefficient with Viking's Overdrive than the other Railguns. Status Railguns get x3 damage with Viking's Overdrive activated. The other Railguns get x2.5. Odd changes to the reload coefficients indeed.

Going into the specifics of this, the number of shots each augment got with Viking's Overdrive with that change was: Stock Railgun: 12 -> 13 Death Herald: 11 -> 13 Incendiary Railgun: 11 -> 17 Cryo Railgun: 11 -> 17 Stun Railgun: 11 -> 17 AP Railgun: 12 -> 17 Scout: 13 -> 17 LCR: 11 -> 17 With the patch that occured on Friday, these changes applied: Scout: 17 -> 13 LCR: 17 -> 13 For Scout and LCR, that buff with Viking's Overdrive was pretty much reverted.

I was able to make it to the first island on all the accounts I partipated with. Three of them took 27 turns. The other took 34 and I made it to the checkpoint on the last move possible.

Why, then, is he upset when his "meta" drone is eventually nerfed?

Why did you upgrade Booster and not another drone?

No.

I figured I would put it here too so more people could see it.

Huh, my other post got deleted or vanished. It never had a 0.5 shot delay. It was 0.85 at first and was increased to 0.9 during its early access phase.

Correct. It is a weaker but easier-to-access defense option, which can be obtained from the rare section of containers, for 245k crystals if you so choose, or upcoming challenges.

It was reduced to 810/1620 damage.

The healing from Vampire Isida is fixed at a rate of 50% of your base damage. Take Mk7+ Isida as an example. The base DPS is 1,150, with 287.5 damage per tick. Vampire Isida will heal you for 575 HP, or 143.75 per tick. Damage enhancers and reducers play no part in the final result. Hence why it was always problematic with the Defender drone; hence why it is able to heal itself when attacking enemies that have spawn protection. The Devs don't mention a lot of things.

What do you mean by biased legend player? Players claim Thunder is too weak with the current paramaters of the game balance at a specific range of gameplay. Another player says Thunder is fine where it is. Said player refuses to use Thunder in that range of gameplay. Your opinion isn't holding any ground here.

Vampire Nanobots heals a fixed 50% of your base damage, regardless of how much damage you deal to the enemy. This makes it inherently synergise with Defender more than Booster. Your suggestion of putting it as 50% of the damage you deal to your opponent would make it broken with Booster as well because they will be healing more HP per tick because they are dealing more damage. And it should stay that way. The current version is the healthiest you can have it. Perhaps they should make it so that attacking someone during their spawn protection wouldn't heal you for anything, but other than that, you're inviting trouble with the Booster drone and/or Crisis.

Why do you claim Thunder itself is fine if you're not playing battles with it at endgame, the source of our complaints? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You are using a fully upgraded turret and hull with augments, a fully upgraded drone for double supply power, and Mk7 modules against players with the same thing. You are similar. You are fighting them on equal footing going by modifications of your equipment.

Why do you claim that Thunder is fine if you refuse to use it in the part of the game that actually matters? The fact that you feel the need to leave the majority of your battles when using Thunder hints that something is wrong with it. You have a fully upgraded turret and hull with augments, a fully upgraded drone, and appropriately leveled protection modules ripe for combat at endgame. That is what I meant by you having similar equipment.

If you make the healing directly dependant on the damage you deal to an enemy, it will become broken with not just Defender, but Booster.
